The prank goes off perfectly and even the Eagle can’t help but crack a smile at how much the prank represented Alaska. In honor of Alaska they decide to plan the most epic prank ever seen by Culver Creek that Alaska thought out before dying. After searching for what really happened the Colonel and Pudge find themselves defeated. They talk to the police who Alaska hit, they figure how drunk she was that night, they search her room, and they talk to Jake her ex-boyfriend. They begin trying to figure out the mystery. They begin searching for clues to figure out why she needed to leave. They want to know if she died by suicide or if it was really an accident.

The Colonel wants to know how she died, and he convinces Pudge that they can find clues to figure it out. Pudge and the Colonel immediately begin feeling guilt for letting her leave, for letting her leave in horrible condition. But then the eagle announces that Alaska has died in a car accident. Pudge starts freaking out that Alaska isn’t back and he demands they don’t start the assembly until she gets back, trying to convince himself that Alaska is not what this assembly is about. The next day all students are called to the gym. That’s when the Colonel and Pudge agreed to help her leave by car, despite her being drunk, by setting fireworks. She comes back crying and freaking out saying she messed up again. Pudge’s dream comes true when he and Alaska make out, but then Alaska gets a call. The Colonel and Alaska were drinking but Pudge was not. A few days later, the Colonel, Pudge, and Alaska are all hanging out. During the night this all takes place, after the prank is completed the group of friends sleep in a barn hiding out and playing games revealing stuff about one another.Īlaska then reveals how she watched her mother die, revealing a lot about the dark side of Alaska. The prank includes setting off firecrackers, putting blue hair dye in weekday warriors gel, and sending fake progress reports to the weekday warriors’ parents.
