"Zac? Did you stay up all night or something?" Isaac asked.
Zac just looked at him sleepily.
Here they were, just another day at the studio. Well, sort of...
"C'mon dude, wake up!" Taylor looked at Isaac. "I never would have thought we'd have this problem with Zac. Not our crazy drummer."
"Yeah, he's usually the one waking us up."
Zac opted not to tell them exactly what it was he had been doing the night before. But he did make a silent promise to himself that it would the last time he snuck out of the house for a late-night party when he had to get up early the next morning. Well, at least until further notice!
"Hey!" He cried.
"Ah ha!" Isaac exulted. "Revenge is sweet!"
They were grinning their faces off at a now dripping wet Zac.
"See? That's what happens when you fall asleep during a recording session and we have super soakers in the studio." Taylor informed him (still grinning).
"And lotsa water." Isaac added.
Zac glowered at them for a moment. Then his face brightened up as he looked behind them.
"Hey Jonny!" he said, waving madly.
"Yeah, right Zac." Isaac said. "Do you really expect us to believe that?"
"Besides, Jonnys' not gonna arrive for another -"
"But he is here." Zac insisted.
"Suuuuure." Taylor continued.
"Hey guys."
Isaac and Taylor turned around.
"Oh, hi Jonny." Isaac said.
"See?" Zac said with a smug look on his face. "I told ya."
**********
Zac did end up getting some sleep while Taylor and Isaac worked with Jonny Lang (as if you didn't guess already which Jonny he was!). That's the beauty of having sound-proof rooms. Unfortunately for Zac, Taylor and Ike decided to use the opportunity to have more revenge.
Some months after the release of their album they realised the reason why it took so long. They played too many pranks on each other and then too much time laughing about them after.
By the end of the day, not only had Zac been soaked, he had been covered in whipped cream, honey, feathers and lets not forget the black texta marks. It only made sense that Zac would want his own revenge. However, trying to figure out the best way to get revenge on three guys older than you who are expecting it is much easier said than done. So, while they were out of the room, Zac logged onto the internet and went into the chat room.
'Please be there.' he thought to himself. 'Yes!'
Freak_of_Nature: Hey sexy whatcha doin
Hocus_Pocus: Plotting revenge
Freak_of_Nature: Awesome! Can I help???
Hocus_Pocus: Sure
Freak_of_Nature: Who is it?
Hocus_Pocus: 18/m 18/m and 16/m
Freak_of_Nature: Ooh the best kind of victims
Hocus_Pocus: Theyre expecting it 2
Freak_of_Nature: Even better
And to Zac's delight, 'Freak' proceeded to give him some rather... interesting ideas.
Now, why don't you try playing a guitar without strings, a keyboard without power, going to the bathroom when there's glad wrap over the seat, then trying to get out of the bathroom when there's vaseline on the handle... the list goes on. By the end of the day, it was obvious who had won.
At least, for now...
