Part Sixty-Three

Sophia’s POV

“I’ll see you later,” Niall kissed me on the cheek.

“Sure,” I smiled, “Have a good performance.”

“Will do,” He winked and hurried out after the boys. They had a performance at eleven o’clock (unusually early, but that was fine by us) then they were going to a signing in the nearby shopping centre after, and that’s when the fun begins.

“Everyone know the plan?” Beth asked as soon as the door shut.

“Yes,” We all nodded.

“Let’s do this,” We grinned. We all logged onto our Twitter accounts and opened a new tweet up, all of us writing the same thing.

@SophiaLucky: DIRECTIONERS! We need your help! Who is going to the signing today? We are going to prank the boys, more info coming up, please RT, get the word out!

We all tweeted it and then opened the Twitter app on the boys phones (we already took their phones and laptops and things so they couldn’t go on Twitter), the silly boys left the app logged in; they are making this too easy. We re-tweeted our each of our tweets.

@NiallOfficial: Hacked Nialls account, Soph here :) spread the word Directioners! Pranking the boys at signing today, more info to come, RT and get the word out!

I then went on mine on the laptop and tweeted again.

@SophiaLucky: Today the girls and me are going to dress up as the boys, its your job to come to us at the signing instead of the boys, more info coming, RT spread the word

I tweeted it and opened up another tweet.

@SophiaLucky: You will get to see the boys after, but first lets have some fun first! So #1DPrankParty who’s in?

@SophiaLucky: Just come to our queue today in the shopping mall to join in the prank on One Direction, security knows about it too! Gonna be so fun! #1DPrankParty

I finished tweeting the info and went on Niall’s account and re-tweeted everything, including what the girls had put, which was similar to what I’d put.

Going to be so good.

“Everyone done?” I asked.

“Yes,” They all nodded.

“Let’s go get ready,” I grinned.

“So, what is everyone wearing?” Lauren asked as we walked up the stairs.

“How about we all pick an outfit we know our boyfriend would wear and then we meet in the hall and exchange clothes,” Molly suggested logically. We all nodded and split off into our own rooms.

I walked over to my wardrobe and flicked through the clothes Niall brought over here. I pulled out a cream pair of Chino’s and a red polo shirt, as well as grabbing his white Supras. I then went back into the hallway where the others were waiting for me.

“Right, so Lauren gets Niall’s clothes, as she’s the only blonde,” Beth instructed and I handed Niall’s clothes to Lauren, she took them in one hand and had Harry’s in her other.

“Then I think, since Sophia dyed her hair, she has the darkest hair colour, so she gets Zayn’s,” Mel handed me Zayn’s clothes.

“You should have Liam’s Mel, because you’ve to the same hair colour as him, or near enough anyway,” I said and she took Liam’s clothes.

“Right, so Harry and Louis, Molly and Beth… I think Molly should be Louis so Beth isn’t Louis, besides they have pretty much the same hair colour,” Lauren said and we all nodded, so Beth took Harry’s clothes and Molly took Louis’.

“Let’s go get changed, and then we’ll sort out the hair, try and find a hat they’d wear as well so we can hide our hair,” I suggested before we split up and got changed.

Zayn’s clothes were pretty big on me. I was wearing a plain white tee shirt, his infamous bomber jacket, and crème Chino’s like Niall’s; I was also wearing a pair of his shoes, which were way too big and I kept tripping over in them. I walked, or stumbled, back into the hall, carrying Niall’s red snap back.

“So, shall we go into Lauren’s room to get ready?” I asked.

“Why my room?” Lauren moaned.

“You have the most hair stuff,” We all said and she smiled sheepishly.

“Okay,” She said and led the way.

“So, we’ll do Beth first,” Lauren said pointed out the rollers which were already heated up, I guess Lauren thought ahead.

“Okay, so we curl your hair and pin it up, under the panda hat Lauren has for you?” Mel asked and she nodded.

“Sounds good,” She grinned. I think it was fair to say we were all excited.

“Whilst you do that, I’ll check Twitter okay?” Molly said and we nodded. She left the room and came back a few minutes later with her laptop. I began helping Mel put curlers in Beth’s hair whilst Lauren dug out the rest of her hair utensils. Once Beth’s hair was rollered up she moved out of the seat and took the laptop off Molly, relaxing on Lauren’s bed.

“We need to straighten our hair now,” Lauren said as she plugged in her hair straighteners, “So we need to wait for them to heat up.”

“Right,” I nodded, “What’s going on in the world of Twitter?”

“It’s all going to plan,” Beth smiled, “’Hashtag’ 1DPrankParty is trending worldwide, and I’ve had loads of tweets saying they’ll do it and loads of retweets; we all have.”

“This is going to be amazing," Molly grinned and we all nodded. We chatted for a few minutes and exchanged hats. I had one of Zayn’s snap backs, Beth had Harry’s panda hat Lauren had bought him, Molly had Louis’ grey beanie, Lauren had Niall’s red snap back and Mel had one of Liam’s snap backs.

Finally the straighteners were heated up enough and Lauren straightened Molly’s hair. We then pinned it up, so just her fringe was hanging loose, we then gelled that a little so it looked more like Louis’ hair; after that we slipped the grey beanie on her head and fixed it so none of her hair hung out at the back, and you could just see a bit of her fringe. She looked pretty good; obviously we knew we wouldn’t look exactly like them, but that’s part of the joke and it’ll be funny to see their faces.

Then Lauren fixed Mel’s (who was going to be Liam) hair so it was pinned up, with little bits loose, her hair wasn’t very long anyway so it wasn’t as hard to do; she then put the snap back on Mel’s hair and she was done.

After Mel, Lauren straightened my hair and gelled my short fringe so it was in Zayn’s quiff style at the front then shoved my hair up the snap back, so I looked remotely like Zayn.

Next I straightened her hair and gelled the front so it spiked up a little, then I hid the rest of her hair in the snap back. (She was supposed to be Niall).

Finally, we took the rollers out of Beth’s hair and pinned it under the panda hat, leaving small curls at the front.

“And we are done,” Lauren smiled and we all stood in the mirror. She snapped a picture of us all and uploaded it to Twitter, we re-tweeted it, saying we were ready for the signing.

After all this time it was now two o’clock. The signing was at three, Paul said he’d organise our stand and for us to text him when we arrived. He said we should arrive earlier.

“We best get going soon,” Molly said and we all nodded, careful not to wreck our hair.

“Shoes,” Mel said and we all checked we had the right shoes on.

“They have really big feet,” I laughed.

“You know what they say about big feet,” Lauren smirked.

“What?” I asked.

“Clowns,” She said and we all laughed at her.

“Leggo,” I shouted and we all clomped out the house, in our sizes too big shoes.

It took us, what would have been a ten minute walk, about a half an hour walk. Lauren needed a pee a few steps out of our drive so we went back and had to wait for her; then it took us so long because we were talking and laughing so much, and we were also slow because we were wearing shoes that were massive on us.

“Molly, text Paul,” I reminded her.

“Oh right,” She pulled her phone out her pocket and quickly text Paul.

“He replied, telling us to wait by the back entrance,” She said and we all looked around confused.

“Where is that?” Beth asked.

“This way, I think,” Lauren said and we all followed her. Turns out she took us the long way around and it was only a little round the corner from where we had been standing before.

“Thanks for that Lauren,” Mel sighed.

“Well, I got us here didn’t we,” Lauren pointed out.

“Yeah, the long route though,” Molly laughed.

“It was not the ‘long route’ it was the scenic route,” She huffed.

“Sorry, my bad,” Molly apologised, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

“Here you are,” Paul said as he made his way over to us.

“Yes, Lauren took us the long- sorry, scenic route,” I shot Lauren a glare.

“Okay, come on,” He laughed and we followed him through the back door. He put his finger on his lips, making a ‘shush’ gesture and then pointed to a door, where I could hear the boys laughing. We nodded and we tip-toed (which was exteremly hard in these shoes) past the door and into the shopping centre bit, where we could hear loads of screaming.

“Good costumes by the way,” Paul smiled and led us to our seats. The girls screamed and cheered as we walked in waving; we took our seats where Paul directed us. He then waved and hurried back to the boys.

“Hello Directioners!” I shouted, standing on the table.

“Sophia what are you doing?” Molly hissed, beside me.

“My name is not Sophia, my name is Zayn,” I said in a deep voice, and the crowd laughed and cheered.

“So, we all know what’s going on now, so let’s do this,” I shouted and they cheered.

“And if you don’t know what’s going on, ask someone near you, they’re bound to know, else you wouldn’t be queuing up here,” Lauren hollered on the other side of me.

“First person can come over,” Beth smiled.

“Wow, you girls look amazing,” A young girl and her friends came over to us.

“Thank you,” We all smiled.

“The boys should be coming any time now, so please nobody get distracted by them, else this prank will not work!” I hollered over the buzz of the fans. They all cried ‘Okay’ or ‘Yes’ or something along those lines and we got started signing things. We told the people who we’d signed things for to stand over by the side and look like they were part of the crowd.

Louis’ POV

“I’m just nipping out boys, I’ll be back in a minute,” Paul said after looking at his phone.

“Okay,” Liam said and Paul left.

“Have any of you seen my phone?” I asked.

“No, I don’t have mine either; I usually don’t leave the house without it,” Harry said.

“I know,” Liam agreed.

“Maybe we just forgot today, they’ll turn up at the girls house,” Zayn shrugged.

“Hey, I was thinking we should all spend the day together doing something really memorable before we have to go for the tour,” Niall said.

“Yeah, sounds good. Doing what though?” I asked.

“I don’t know, but whatever it is, we should make it a surprise for the girls,” Harry grinned.

“Awesome,” Zayn nodded.

“Right well, are we all ready, we’ll be going when Paul gets back,” Liam said and we all stood up.

“Boys, are you ready?” Paul came back in smiling.

“Yes,” We all nodded.

“Let’s go,” He grinned and we followed him out.

“What’s all the shouting about?” Harry wondered.

“Us,” I suggested.

“Suppose,” Harry shrugged.

We walked out, waving to the fans, but none of them were looking at us, none of them even acknowledged us. I frowned and looked at the boys; they were all looking confused as well.

“Paul, what’s going on?” I nudged Paul, who was in front of me.

“I don’t know,” He muttered.

“Who’s over there?” Niall pointed to what all the people were looking and taking pictures of.

“Excuse me, what’s going on?” I asked a nearby girl and her friends.

“We’re waiting to meet One Direction,” She smiled and pointed in the opposite direction to us.

“But we’re One Direction,” Liam said, suddenly at my side.

“No, they’re One Direction, see for yourself,” She handed me her phone and sure enough it had a picture of us on at the signing today. Well, it obviously wasn’t us, but they were wearing the same clothes as us; not the ones we had on, but they were our clothes. They all had hats on and you couldn’t see their faces as it was too far away; but it looked like us.

“What the hell?” Harry frowned as we all studied the picture.

“Well, I’ve got to go, nice meeting you,” The girl took her phone from us and walked forward a little in the queue.

“Let’s go,” Zayn said and we all marched around the queue until we were stood in front of ‘One Direction’.

“And who am I signing this to?” ‘Harry’ asked me.

“Louis Tomlinson,” I snapped.

“Aw, you hear that Louis, he has the same name as you, I think he’s confused,” The fake Harry said to the fake Louis.

“I am not confused, I am Louis Tomlinson, this is Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne,” I glared at the perpetrators.

“In the arse,” The fake Niall muttered.

“Hey!” The fake Liam Payne and the real Liam Payne shouted. Get it? Real Liam Payne, Real_Liam_Payne? His Twitter name… okay, well that joke sunk like the Titanic.

“We want to know, who you are and what the hell you have done to our fans right now,” Harry said, slightly angry, as he stepped forward.

“We haven’t done anything to our fans and we are Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik, but you might know us as One Direction,” The fake Louis stood up, and the other fakes soon joined him. We studied their faces and then gasped.

“Molly?”

“Beth?”

“Mel?”

“Lauren?”

“Sophia?”

Wow, that was unexpected.

Our girlfriends were… us.

Molly was Louis… I mean, me.

Beth was Harry.

Mel was Liam.

Lauren was Niall.

Sophia was Zayn.

Wow, they got us bad. And the weird thing is; from a distance they actually looked like us.

“I’m sorry, why are you saying our girlfriend’s names?” Mel or the fake Liam said.

“What?” We all frowned, were they seriously going to keep his act up.

“Hey Beth?” Someone shouted behind us. Beth or fake Harry, turned around to face the voice. We all watched in shock as a girl threw something at Beth. It hit Beth square in the face and she fell to the ground.

“What the hell was that?” Niall shouted.

“Pancake in the face,” Beth mumbled from the floor and we all laughed. We watched in amusement as Beth sucked in and the pancake was pulled into her mouth as though it were a black hole.

“Wow!” Sophia or fake Zayn said in awe of her friend, who was now stood up. Beth grabbed a cake from a nearby cake stall and threw it back at the girl in the crowd.

“Food fight!" Lauren hollered and soon food was being grabbed from everywhere and thrown around.

“Stop!” Paul shouted after about five minutes, and we were already coated in all sorts of foods, ranging from cake to… I think it was a sausage in Harry’s curls… at least I hope it was a sausage.

“Yes, if you would please let us get back on with our signing,” Molly or fake me said.

“We know it’s you, so games up,” Liam (the real one) laughed.

“They’re on to us! Run!” Lauren shouted loudly and the four girls split up.

“Sophia!” I heard Niall gasped and we all turned to see Sophia smiling like a mad man driving around on a Segway, with security guys chasing after her.

“Justin Bieber has one of these!” She shouted happily and I saw loads of people filming her.

“Sophia get off the Segway!” We all shouted.

“Never!” She shouted back and whizzed around on it… though it couldn’t go very fast and the security guards were surrounding her.

“Someone help me!” She screamed dragging out the ‘e’ at the end.

“Don’t worry! Superman will save you!” Beth shouted and jumped into a trolley that was hanging about, conveniently.

“For Narnia!” Lauren shouted and pushed Beth in the trolley as they charged at the security men that worked for the shopping mall. The men scattered as the trolley and Beth spun out of control.

Beth screamed loudly as the trolley toppled over and she was lying on her side, unable to move as security men surrounded her too. One man had a struggling Sophia in his hand, well he had her arm in his hand and her arm was attached to her body. He was holding her still, so she didn’t run away. Another two men hoisted Beth out of the trolley and she joined Sophia.

“Run Lauren! Don’t let the evil people get you!” Sophia screamed.

“Every man for themselves,” Molly shouted and the three that were left ran straight for the door.

“The door won’t open in time,” Harry muttered beside me. We were all in too much of a shock to move, all of us to watched in horror as our girlfriends went mad.

“It’s not going to open!” Molly shouted, slowing down with Mel.

“Don’t be stupid! They’re electric of course they’ll open!” Lauren shouted back at Molly and carried on running for the closed glass door. Soon she made impact on the glass and everyone was silent.

“Why did I do that?” Her voice was slightly muffled against the glass.

The security men grabbed hold of Mel, Molly and Lauren as well as Beth and Sophia and took them off somewhere.

“So, let’s get on with the real signing now,” Paul announced and we carried on as normal.
