Chapter Text
Yes Pearl Scott was young and yes she was the little sister but she was smart. She saw the way her big brother looked at his friends. She started realizing body language as she got older and she same very similar things with big bro and Kimmy. The little in-jokes she heard them tell each other when they did homework. Bigger kids like Jason always forgot little kids like Pearl were around sometimes, and they always listen and Pearl was no exception.
They never heard her pitter patter as she hid behind the couch. Kim tickled Jason, he tickled back they both laughed. Both froze and the silence became awkward. Jason would play with his hair (he always did when he was nervous.) Kim chewed her thumb nail when she got nervous. Pearl couldn’t see them from behind the couch but they were both doing just that.
Beanie Trini came over the other day and Pearl tugged her jacklet until she turned to face her. Trini smiled and knelt down. Pearl liked Trini because she taught Pearl funny Spanish words and no-no words that Jason would hate for her to hear. Trini laughed whenever Pearl swore, something about a young child swearing made Trini giggle with glee.
“I have a plan Trini,” Pearl said.
“Oh Pearl the Plan girl, I’ll bit munchkin,” Trini said and Pearl smiled.
“Okay first, big bro likes Kimmy and Kimmy likes him,” she said.
“I knew it,” Trini said softly.
“Let me finish,” Pearl said and Trini nodded. “You and Billy and Zack need to fix it. I know you can because you’re smart. That’s why Jason likes you all. And he would like for you to help but he’s scared. Okay, I’m done now.”
“I’ll do it for you string bean because you’re smart,” Trini said and got her phone out. “Don’t tell your bro or he’ll think I’ve gone all soft. I can’t have that.”
Pearl zipped her lip and threw away the key before running off. Trini texted the guys. Billy had art supplies, Zack would probably climb a flag pole or three without much convincing. Trini heard Jason, he was shuffling papers and she put her phone away as he came around the corner.
“Homework should be almost done, your face… Is there a prank war coming? I don’t like that smirk because bad things always happen when you make that face.” Jason said, nearly dropping the pages of homework.
“Um no you dick, this is my normal face. I should make you do my homework for the next week.” Trini said as she tried to stop smirking. “You know what you finish this and I’ll call it even.” Trini stormed out.

“Why are we at the football field?” Jason said as Kim walks over to him. “Billy said he wanted to meet.”
“Billy said he wanted to meet me,” she said. “Did either of us piss Trini off? Smells like a prank.”
The stadium lights shone bright and banners were hung up on all sides. ‘Kiss Her Idiot’ and ‘Kiss Him Idiot’ read the banners. A soft love ballad began to play on the stadium speakers. A voice crackled over the speakers.
“Do it,” was repeated by Zack into the mic. The music became louder as Zack stopped the ‘Do it’ chant.
“I don’t know what this is about,” he said.
“Kiss me you big lug,” she said and with that he leaned in, she grabbed his face and they kissed.
