Anthology.

Kaitlyn and John were watching TV on a Saturday morning. Kaitlyn had her legs up on the couch, and her head resting in John's lap. He was gently stroking her hair and sipping on a beer. The two were watching Cinderella; Kaitlyn's choice. Her and John were watching the part where Cinderella's step sisters tried on the glass slipper, untill Kaitlyn's phone rang.

"Can you pause it, babe? I'll be back in a sec."

John nodded his head and clicked 'Pause' on the remote. Kaitlyn got up, adjusted her shorts, and answered her cell.

"Yellooo?" She said into the phone.

"Aye! Kaitlyn! It's the boys!" The other line said.

By the boys, they meant Garrett, Pat, Jared, and Kennedy.

"Oh. Hey, guys, what's up?" She replied, picking at her nails.

"Wait, are you with John?" Pat asked.

Kaitlyn looked over at John. He looked up at her and smiled.

She put her index finger up, signaling that she'd be right back.

Kaitlyn walked into the bathroom and locked the door.

"Now I'm not. Why?" Kaitlyn said.

"Because, we were thinking of pranking John!" Garrett yelled into the phone.

Kaitlyn giggled.

"Oh yeah? How?"

"Well," Jared started.

"Since we have the soundcheck in a few hours, then the concert," Kennedy carried on.

"We were thinking of planning a prank on John." Pat finished.

"Yeah, yeah, I got that down, but HOW are we gonna prank him?" She asked.

"Well, I suggested that I walk in in a banana suit yelling 'WHERE'S THE GRAPEFRUIT' Then slapping John with a banana peel then leaving, but no one agreed..." Garrett shouted into the phone. I can tell I was put on speaker because Garrett seemed distant from the phone.

"Beause you're stupid." Kennedy said.

Kaitlyn laughed.

"Okay, that's just silly... and weird... How about... Hmm, what if someone pretended to be a masked murderer and tried killing me, and when John has a beyond crazy reaction, the masked murderer takes off their mask and reveals who it is?" She suggested.

"Yeah!" The boys said consently.

"We can do it during soundcheck... After this call, tell John we called you to ask you if you wanted to be part of the show tonight. I guess to play the part for Girls Do What They Want." Pat said.

"Sounds good... Okay, so who's gonna be the 'murderer'?" Kaitlyn asked.

The line was silent for a moment, until I heard Jared say,"HALVERSON."

Everyone started clapping, agreeing to his answer.

"We'll give him a call and text you if anything changes. Don't come late and most DEFINATELY do not tell John." Kennedy spoke into the phone.

Kaitlyn laughed.

"Alright, alright. I won't. See you guys at 5."

Kaitlyn hung up and walked back to John.

"Hey babe, who was it?" He asked, eyebrows cocked.

"Oh, just the boys. They wanted me to come to the soundcheck tonight to help you guys rehearse the Girls Do What They Want part." Kaitlyn lied. She kind of felt bad pulling such a prank on John, but she knew he wouldn't take it too seriously.

"Oh... Alright then... Let's play the movie!" John said. He flashed her a bright smile. She thought he was so cute, how excited he got just to watch Cinderella. She plopped down next to him and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

They finally finished the movie after a good hour and a half, just on time to leave for the soundcheck.

"Come on, babe. If we don't leave now, we're gonna be late!" John yelled. his body was halfway out the door. He was looking at his car now.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go!" She rushed out the door and he followed.

They climbed into John's car and they were on their way.

Halfway through the drive, Kaitlyn's phone buzzed. She had got a text.

PATO; Hey gurl its Pat zo lyk we're totes here already 'nd Halvo has da mask on and errythang!!11!! hurry ova here.

Kaitlyn laughed at the complete nonsense of grammar Pat had texted her.

KAITLYN; ALRITE BUD. WE R ALMOST THER B PREPARED 4 PRANKIN'!!!111!!!11

She replied.

John pulled up to the venue and led Kaitlyn in.

The boys were all on stage and putting every piece of equipment in it's place.

"You can just follow me on to the stage, babe." John smiled at Kaitlyn.

"Alright, right after I ask Pat about uh... The performance!"

Kaitlyn flashed John a smile and he kissed her on the lips.

John went to help Kennedy set up the amps.

Kaitlyn ran up the steps to the stage and up to Pat.

"Hey, okay, so what's the plan?" She whispered.

"Alright. I'm gonna pretend to tell everyone the 'game plan' for Girls Do What They Want tonight. Then, I'm gonna 'drop my drumstick'. When Halvo hears the sound, he's gonna pop out of those side corridors and come out with a fake gun. He's gonna run up to you and hold it to your head. Then, John's reaction is just going to be unknown, and we will leave it that. When things get too far, or John get's too scared, Halvo will reveal himself. Sound good?" Pat explained everything well.

"Sounds great." Kaitlyn replied.

Kaitlyn quickly went back to John's side to help them set up for rehearsal. She helped John hang up a light when Pat gathered everyone to discuss what was going to happen for the show.
"Alright, so I was thinking we could play My Heroine first, get the crowd going, then slip in Don't Give Up On (Us). After that, we'll play Girls Do What They Want, and that's when Kaitlyn - you will come in and after and help John sing the last bit. How does that sound?" Pat continued, "Then we'll just play a few more songs after."

Everyone agreed to the plan, when Kaitlyn and the boys were so excited to prank John.

"I can't wait to sing with you tonight," Kaitlyn said to John who was setting up the drum set with Pat.

"I can't wait either, babe. It's gonna be one hell of a show."

As John was helping setting up, he couldn't help but notice Pat and Kaitlyn kept giving each other quick glances and funny looks.

"Is.. everything alright?" John asked slowly.

Pat laughed, "Yeah, everything's fine man!"

John raised an eyebrow. He placed his arm around Kaitlyn's shoulder, pulling her to his side, "You sure? It kinda looked like you were mentally flirting with my girlfriend."

Kaitlyn shook her head from side to side, "You care too much," she said to John.

John placed his hands on Kaitlyn's waist, and leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"I can't help but protect my girlfriend from a psycho like, Pat."

Kaitlyn giggled and placed a too quick of a kiss on John's lips.

Pat gestured Kaitlyn from behind John, telling her to go to the back room to get ready for the prank.

"John, uhm.. I'll be right back, okay?"

"Where you going?" John asked not letting go of her.

"I uh, I gotta get myself ready for rehearsal!" Kaitlyn smiled and kissed John on the cheek before heading off.

Once Kaitlyn found the right room, she opened the door and went in.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Kaitlyn screamed.

Eric Halvorson popped out of nowhere and scared her, "Not funny, Halvo!" Kaitlyn slapped him on the arm.

"Hey, I was just preparing for later. I'm pretty good, huh?" Eric smirked.

Kaitlyn rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah. Don't ever do that to me again."

"Or what?" Eric challenged her.

"Or I'll rip your balls off with my bare hands, or what!"

Eric then raised his hands up in the air backing away, "Alright! Just don't ever, rip my balls off!"

Kaitlyn laughed and headed to take a seat next to Kennedy.

"I can't wait to scare the hell out of John!" Kennedy said, "But I'll probably ruin everything by laughing at him!"

Kaitlyn laughed, "I think I would too, but Halvo's pretty convincing!"
"True that!"

"Alright, so remember, when I drop my drumstick, you come out from the side and grab Kaitlyn," Pat explained to Eric again.

"Yeah, yeah! I got it, don't need to tell me a thousand times!"

"I want this to actually work! I want to scare the hell out of him!" Pat said too excitedly.

"Shhh!" Kaitlyn placed a finger on her lips, "John's coming!"

Eric jumped up and ran into the closet to hide, while everyone was running around like lunatics.

Pat threw the fake gun into the closet hitting Eric in the shin, "Agh, hey!"

Pat mouthed 'sorry', and quickly sat on the couch. The doorknob twisted, and John walked in the room to see everyone sitting there chatting.

"What's going on in here? I was thinking you all ditched me." John pouted walking toward Kaitlyn with his arms open for a hug.

Pat got up and ran over to John hugging him tight, "We're sorry John!"

John pushed Pat away and he fell into Kennedy's arms, "Woah there, buddy."

John laughed, "I missed you," he said to Kaitlyn.

"I missed you too," Kaitlyn replied hugging him.

"Alright, enough. Break it up, let's go rehearse!" Pat pulled Kaitlyn out of John's embrace and headed to the stage.

Once they were all on stage, Pat got seated behind the drums, Garrett, Jared, and Kennedy got their guitars and bass', and John and Kaitlyn stood at the front of the stage ready to sing.

Pat looked around at everyone. When he was ready, he raised his arms and hit his drum sticks, "1, 2.. 1, 2, 3, 4!"

They all started playing, Girls Do What They Want. Kaitlyn stood there awkwardly watching them play, as John sang. John took his mic and walked over to Kaitlyn who went to stand by the drums, and danced and sang around her. Kaitlyn couldn't help but laugh. John's dancing has never improved, and it was very entertaining for her to watch.

When it came to the end, John gave the mic to Kaitlyn and they both sang, "Girls do what they want! Woah, woah. Boys do what they can..!"

As they played the last note, everyone was content with how well it went. John was ecstatic, and he couldn't wait to play at the concert.

Kaitlyn, Kennedy, Garrett, and Jared were waiting for Pat to drop his stick.

"That was great guys! The crowds gonna love it!" Pat yelled placing his sticks on his drums purposely dropping one stick.

Everyone was ready for Eric to come out, while John was drinking from his water bottle.

BOOM.

Everyone turned their heads to see a man with a mask on, holding a gun in his hands.
"Everyone! Get on the ground!"

John's heart started racing, while Kennedy and Jared were trying not to laugh.

The masked man made his way to the stage.

John crawled to Kaitlyn's side and held onto her.

"Baby, everything's gonna be alright." He whispered to her. Kaitlyn heard fear the in his voice. She started feeling guilty, but the boys said he was the King of Pranks before they started the band. He'd never fallen for a prank; Except this one.

"Did I just hear someone speak? Who was it?" The 'unknown' man yelled.

The masked man made his way to the stage.

"You," He said, with the gun still locked in his hands. "Get up." He gave John a little kick, and John stood up looking at the black mask.

"Who the fuck are you?" John asked.

The man grabbed Kaitlyn by her wrists, and pointed the gun at her head.

"Say another word, and she's gone." Kaitlyn was huffing, pretending to be mad at John for speaking.

John stood silently, staring at Kaitlyn.

A tear fell from his eye as Kaitlyn mouthed,"It's alright."

The masked man pulled Kaitlyn near Kennedy.

John watched carefully, his every move.

Before the masked man did anything to Kennedy, John snuck up behind him and pushed him the the ground.

"John!" Everyone yelled as one.

Holding his wrists down, John took off the mask.

"HALVORSON!?" John shouted in confusion.

Eric turned red as he was laughing.

Everyone walked up towards them and clapped, also sharing a good laugh.

"What the fuck? I don't get this..." John's eyebrows cocked.

Kaitlyn wrapped her arms around John.

"You've been Punk'd, babe!" She laughed and kissed him on the lips.

John stood up off of Halvo and picked up Kaitlyn.

"You did what, babe!?" John felt relieved knowing it was just a prank, and planted kisses all on Kaitlyn's neck and face.

Kaitlyn and the boys couldn't stop laughing.

"Yeah, you've been Punk'd, babaaay!" Pat yelled.

Everyone gathered around John and Kaitlyn and formed a group hug.

"Wait! Hold up! Let me get this on my phone!" Jared pulled his iPhone out and filmed John holding Kaitlyn.

Garrett and Kennedy ran up in front of the phone.

"Hi guys! This is Punk'd! With hosts Kennedy Brock and the amazing, oh-so sexy Garrett Nickelsen!" Garrett joked.

"John! I believe you have something to say!" Kennedy pointed at John, who was laughing and kissing Kaitlyn, who was still in his arms.

John removed his lips from Kaitlyn and the two looked into the camera phone.

"Hi. My name is John O'Callaghan and I've been fucking pranked." John smiled, and Kaitlyn laughed.

She kissed him on the lips hard, and Jared pointed the camera back at Garrett and Kennedy.

"We'd like to thank Halvo for being such a good actor! Come here, Halvo!"

Jared moved the camera to Eric who stood and waved.

Pat hopped in front of the camera and said, "So that concludes tonight's episode for Punk'd Thanks for watching!" He then started carressing his nipples and attempted licking them.

"WHAT THE FUCK PAT." Eric yelled.

Jared then ended the video, and they all walked up to Kaitlyn and John.

John had put Kaitlyn down, and she said, "Let's all go eat before the show! I'm starving."

Everyone cheered and made their way to the snack table.

John and Kaitlyn walked a little behind everyone.

John stopped for a moment and made a sad face at Kaitlyn.

She looked back. "What's wrong baby?" She asked.

"I don't ever want that to ever actually happen to you." He frowned.

She giggled and grabbed the collar of his vest.

"I love you."

She placed her lips on his, as John smiled in between the kiss.
