The Broken Window...

It started out as one of the most daring and well-planned pranks ever done in this internship...

It all started in response to several bouts of water ballons from the G-Plex (one of the boys apt., holds 16 guys), where by our Comm. group decided to play our own prank on the boys when they'd least expect it. We came up with the fabulous idea of going into the boy's apt. and stealing all their toiletries which then would be held at ransom. This idea then evolved into unscrewing all their lightbulbs, and placing Peeps (sorry Mom, they went for a good cause!) outside their doors with a "You've Been Peeped" sign attached. Once the plan was made all that was left was to wait for the perfect opportunity, and implement it.

This brings us to last night...It was the perfect chance! On Friday nights we have EGS Services, and that would assure us that all the boys were gone from the apt., thus giving us a window of opportunity. I'll lay out the timing for you.

6:40 pm - All seven of us pile into me and Tiffany's cars, and head to EGS to check into to service at the regular 10 minute early mark. We then hang around there till all the interns have checked in.

7:15 pm - Loaded with tons of plastic bags we slowly sneek out of service un-noticed, and head to the cars. On the way to the apt. we call the boy's house phones three times to make sure that no one is there.

7:20 pm - We arrive and race up to the first half of the duplex apartments; their side door was wide open. Entering we rush to clear out the three/four bathrooms, unscrew the lights, and place Peeps outside the door. In the mean while Jen goes to find a way into the second half of the Duplex. All the doors to the second apt. are locked, but Jen finds that the front window is unlocked and off the runners; so in she goes. While Jen and I get started on the second apt. the other girls take the first load of bags to Tiffany's trunk. Soon the second apt. is finished as well, and we carry those bags to my trunk. Every one but Jen scrambles to the cars, while we wait for her to climb back through the window.

7:50 pm - Mission accomplished! In a half-hour we had successfully raided the boy's apt. without an accident. Oh, perhaps I should now mention that the wind yesterday was gusting up to 30 mph, you'll see why that is important in a second. As we are pulling away Leah sees that the window Jen had just climbed through had blown back into the house, so she runs to put it back in again.

8:00 pm - The look on Leah's face told all; the worst possible thing had happened. Since the window was off the runners, the wind had blown it inside and it was shattered to a million pieces on the floor. We didn't know what to do, the unthinkable had happened! Afraid of someone breaking in, Tiffany and Lindsay stay with her car to guard the apt. while we run to Lows to see if we can get a new window.

8:30 pm - Lows has no windows that are not custom ordered, and he's "not sure that he could get the same brand anyway", if he could is would take at least 21 days. This leaves us in a pickle, so we run to Walmart to buy a cardboard box & ducktape to at least temp. fix the window.

9:00 pm - We get back to the house; the girls had picked up all the glass, and after putting the broken window back in we taped the cardboard to it, so rain didn't get in. We would have to get Housing to order a new window that we would pay for. Oh, and since the joke really wasn't funny anymore, we left all their stuff in bags on the floor. It would be a big enough pain to sort it all out anyway...

9:30 pm - Katty (Comm. Leader) thinks that all this is hillarious, and can't stop laughing which is a good sign. Since we missed all of EGS we just go to the prayer room for the 10-12, wondering when we were going to die for our deeds.

12:00 am -We now know that the guys know, because they are circling like sharks. How we wished for the clock to slow down!! However, midnight came soon enough, and we started for the cars. The next thing we see is Tiffany's car completely moved (like this : / ), and seran-wrapped with peanut-butter and honey. We thought that it would be worse, and all we could do was laugh. My car was not touched, thank you Jesus! So, we left Tiffany's car till morning and went home where there was a 2x4 screwed across our door. We could still get in, and the whole thing was soooo funny.

1:00 am - The boys did nothing else, and we all collapsed into bed.

*~*~*~*~*
So, that is our adventurous story, and hopeful the window will get repaired soon! Anyway, since it's late I should go to bed. Sorry for the insanely long post, but come-on, it was a GREAT story!! Hehe!! Alright, night all!!
