Tracy Island; Thursday, July 4th; 10 PM

Brains sat back and sighed in satisfaction. He was in his lab, and had just put the final touches on a program he'd come up with to get Gordon back for his early morning prank. Once he'd been able to turn off the music, he left it up to the family to locate Gordon and retaliate, as usual.

But several hours later, he was frustrated. He couldn't get what had happened out of his mind, and it was affecting his work. He'd been the butt of the redhead's jokes - alone and part of the group - too often and he'd never retaliated.

Maybe it's time I played a joke on Gordon, for a change. But what can I do to get him back? He sat back in his chair to consider the problem. A germ of an idea began to grow, and so did his smile. As he began to work, his smile turned to a grin. He didn't join the family for dinner, because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to keep a straight face, and his target would suspect something.

He set the program to begin running at midnight, and shut everything else down for the night. Then he headed to his quarters.

Midnight:

Gordon had settled in his bed less than an hour ago with a sigh. The family had given him a lot of grief about his prank, but he felt it was worth it. He hadn't expected anyone to find him so soon, and when Scott reminded him of the microchip, he mentally berated himself for forgetting that little detail. The day turned out to be a long one for him, and he was tired. So he was soon asleep.

Suddenly his radio went on, and the general lighting in his room with it. He sat up and looked around, blinking. "What the heck?" He got up and started across the room to turn the lights off, but he'd only taken a few steps when they went off. He turned around and went back to the bed, reaching toward his radio to turn it off, but it shut down before he could touch it.

He lay back in his bed with a sigh, and closed his eyes. Five minutes later, his bedside lamp went on, shining directly in his eyes. He cursed and reached for it, but it went off by itself. He rolled over, but sat up in surprise when he heard his toilet flush. What the heck is going on around here? he thought. He listened intently, trying to hear if someone was in his bathroom, but there was no other sound.

Shaking his head, he lay back down, only to sit bolt upright as the radio and all the lights went on. Immediately after that, the toilet flushed and the shower turned on. He leaped out of bed and stood in the middle of the room, turning around to see if he could find any reason for these things to be happening. Then he checked under his bed, and started looking along the baseboards of both the walls in his bedroom and his bathroom. Before he'd gotten far, however, the lights went out, the radio turned off and the shower stopped.

He walked to the entrance to the bathroom and turned the light on manually. Then he looked at the switch carefully, to see if it had been tampered with. Finally, shaking his head in confusion, he headed back to bed.

Two hours later, he wanted to scream. He'd been unable to get a wink of sleep, due to the problems occurring every five to twenty minutes, in various combinations. "That's it! I've had enough! I'm going down to my Thunderbird to get some sleep!" he yelled to anyone who might be listening.

He grabbed his pillow and a blanket and headed out of his room and down to his yellow submarine.

98% pure evil...and loving every minute of it.
