A/N: This came to be on the band trip. Well, I took the idea from the band trip when we went to San Francisco. There's a redhead trumpet player in the band, and me and this other girl were bugging him to no end. I saw a flock of…Never mind. I'll tell you after you've read it so I won't ruin it.

Daisuke's Cold

"Dark, what are you doing?" Daisuke asked his older brother, who was in the kitchen.

"I'm making breakfast!" Dark replied with a smile.

"Great," Dai said sarcastically, sitting down at the table.

"You okay, little bro?" Dark wondered, concerned.

"I feel like crap because I have a cold. I don't think I'm gonna go to school."

"Man, that sucks. I'll make you some more breakfast! Fluids are good, so drink your orange juice!" Dark poured Daisuke a cup of OJ.

"Um…Thank you?" Daisuke posed it as a question.

"No prob, Bob," Dark smiled. "OMG! Guess what, Daisuke!"

"What?" Dai bubbled through his orange juice, figuring he'd probably regret asking later.

"I saw a duck today!"

Dai was a little confused. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Nothing! Nothing at all! But it landed on the windowsill and it said 'Hi' to me!"

Daisuke was really concerned now. "Dark, are you feeling okay?"

Dark didn't seem to hear the question. "And yesterday I saw a flock of rainbow cows!" After that, Dark started laughing maniacally.

"Uh, Mom?" Dai called cautiously.

"Yes, Dai?" Emiko yelled back.

"I think all that stealing has finally made Dark snap! He has an alternate personality he's been hiding from us! He's crazy!"

"Daisuke, you're thinking of Krad."

"No, I'm not! Dark is right here next to me and he's hanging onto my arm and laughing like a weirdo!"

"Rainbow cows!" Dark said creepily, laughing.

"Okay, yup! He's lost it!" Daisuke told his mom, trying to get Dark off his arm as he struggled to the front room.

"Elephuntays! Daisuke, we're in Africa!" Dark yelled.

"Dark, what is wrong with you?"

"Everything!" Dark smiled up at Dai.

"Dark, I have to go to school!" He tried his hardest to pry his older brother off.

"But don't you have a cold? Daisuke, stay here and I'll help you feel better!"

"NOOO! I don't have a cold! I feel just fine! I'll see you after school!"

Dark let go of Daisuke and the redhead sprinted out the door. Dark chuckled as Emiko walked in. "So?" she asked.

"Told you it'd work. It's a method I perfected over the course of 400 years. When they don't want to leave to go to school, I make them. And then they never want to see me freak out like that again," Dark smiled.

"Dark, you're such a troublemaker!" Emiko laughed.

"A troublemaker who made you breakfast."

"Oh, a talented troublemaker, even! Let's see how your cooking is."

Right then, the smoke alarm went off. "Oh, shoot!" Dark exclaimed. "I forgot! The eggs are still in the pan!" He sprinted to the kitchen.

"I take that part about being 'talented' back!" Emiko called after him as Dark tried to put out the fire that he'd accidentally started.

A/N: Okay. We'd been on the bus for a little too long, and I was going a little crazy and I was bugging this redhead trumpet player and I was like, "Look! COWS!" and then he didn't look. I was kind of angry and I told him, "Dude, you totally missed it. Those were some awesome cows." Trumpet player: "I've seen cows before." Me: "You haven't seen those cows before. They were rainbow cows!" Other girl: "ELEPHANTS! We're in Africa!" Trumpet player (to WhiteXII): "I think they've lost it." WhiteXII: "Oh, Spazzy hasn't had it for a loooooong time. Actually, I don't think she ever had it."

Yeah. Me and that other girl were really sleep-deprived because we'd left at, like, six in the morning and we'd been on the bus for HOURS. Oh, well. That's what happens on band trips. What are you gonna do?
