“We saw that little stunt you all just pulled,” Athena said.
“Weheardit too,” Trevon noted. “It was kind of hard to miss.”
Auntie Athena wore a wry smile. “I probably should have jumped in and put an end to that. But…. well… she was going to be kicked out anyway. This saved me the trouble.”
Trevon nodded. “Besides, that shit was funny as hell.” He dipped his head apologetically and added, “Pardon my French.” He smiled wide. “But tell me you got that on video.”
“Oh, we got it,” Stryker announced as he and Harrison walked up. “That was a prank worthy of our friend Eli. He’s the master jokester but I think he even would be proud of that one. I can’t wait to show him.”
Auntie Athena nodded. “Oh, I know all about the famous Eli of Mountainville and his pranks. All the Littles love watching his videos.”
Cami giggled. She was one of those who enjoyed Eli’s content. The prank videos he uploaded were truly inspiring.
“In fact, we should give him this footage so he can use it on his show,” Harrison suggested.
“Of course,” Stryker replied.
Iris’s real arm poked through the ripped shirt she wore and she bent down to pick up the prosthetic one that had fallen off. “These movie props are so cool! Thanks for bringing them.”
Stryker was all smiles. “Nothing like raiding the studio’s special effects department.”
Auntie Athena took another look around, shook her head, and said, “Just clean all this stuff up. I won’t tell your Daddies.” She eyed Stryker and Harrison. “Or you boys’ Mommies. But next time, ask permission before you pull something like this.”
The Littles answered in unison. “Yes, Auntie.”
Cami joined her friends as they started the cleanup process. Even with the work it would require to get everything put up, the prank had still been more than worth it.
It was the funniest thing she’d ever seen.
Chapter 21
“Anything interesting happen today?” Isaiah asked as he picked up Cami and twirled her several times before laying a big kiss on her lips.
They were standing in front of Auntie Athena’s mansion. Jack and Ace were there, too, holding their Littles.
“Just the usual fun,” Cami answered.
Isaiah studied her eyes for a moment. Was she holding something back? Surely his sweet Little girl hadn’t gotten in some sort of trouble.
She’d already had a booty-busting that morning. He doubted she’d test the limits and risk one again. Of course, Littles could be like that sometimes.
Once he’d placed her feet back on the paved walkway, he looked to where Athena and Trevon stood. “She do okay today?”
Athena grinned. “Just fine. I think she had lots of fun.”
Something seemed off, but Isaiah just couldn’t put his finger on what it was. “You sure she didn’t get into trouble?”
“She was an angel,” Athena stated.
“No shenanigans?” Isaiah pressed.
“Oh, just the usual,” Athena replied.
“There’s always the usual,” Trevon chimed in. “But nothing we couldn’t handle. And nothing worth worrying about.” He flashed his perfectly white teeth in a “trust me” grin.
“Well, okay. I’m glad you had fun, cutie.” Isaiah stooped down and kissed Cami’s forehead.
“How did the investigation go?” she asked.
