Me: Yep, I've decided to make a sequel to Trouble With Soda.
Sky: Again, you should be working on Blue Sky instead of other stuff.
Me: I already have three-fourths of Chapter 31 written. But I got bored with it.
Yusei: How do you get bored in the middle of something?
Me: I don't know, but I'm really good at it. I can set my mind to do one thing, and then three minutes later put it down and do something else.
Sky: Does this have anything to do with the easily side-tracked thing?
Me: Probably. Anywho, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds or the characters, but I do own Sky and the storyline for this.
Chapter 1
Today is smack dab in the middle of summer. Hundred degree temperatures have been hitting Neo Domino City for the past two weeks. It also means more air conditioners are breaking down, so Yusei and I have our hands busy. We go around fixing stuff, as to raise money for our engine program.
Currently I am working on fixing the air conditioner of Akiza's house. Apparently the heat got to her head, and the air conditioner hadn't been giving off enough cold air. Angry Psychic Duelists are definitely not forces to be reckoned with.
It takes me three hours to fix it. "Thank you Sky," Mr. Izinski says. I pick up my tool box.
"It's nothing Mr. Izinski," I say. I glance at my watch. "I should probably go check on Crow and Jack now. Who knows what they've done to the apartment," I say.
Mr. Izinski thanks me again as I get on my Duel Runner. I wave goodbye and quickly return to the apartment. It appears to be intact, and is certainly not in flames.
I walk into the apartment. No one can be heard. "Anybody home?" I ask. My answer is a water balloon landing on my head. I hear laughing from behind the couch. Ticked off, I stomp over to the hiding place. Crow is curled up in a tight ball.
"Sorry Sky, Jack started a prank war," the ginger says. "I thought you were Jack."
"Why would you think I'm Jack? When I came in I asked if anyone was home. I don't sound like Jack," I say.
"It's hard to hear behind the couch though," Crow says. The door opens and Crow chucks another water balloon. This time the person walking in is Zora.
"Nice going bird brain," a voice says from the top of the staircase. A water balloon soars in that direction as well, but Jack easily dodges it. "Can't aim either," Jack says, running out the door past the soaked Zora. Crow follows him.
I toss Zora one of the hand towels. "Before you ask, Jack and Crow started a prank war," I say.
"A prank war? Nothing good ever comes out of those," Zora says.
"You've participated in one?" I ask.
"Not just one, several," Zora says. "It starts off fun, but then someone ends up getting hurt. The person getting hurt would always be me."
"Ah. I've never actually participated in a prank war before," I say. "But Yusei said I would do well in one. I think it has something to do with when I was in The Enforcers and I pranked all four of my friends."
"That would be right," a new voice says. Yusei had snuck in quietly while we were talking. "I still have tape in my hair," Yusei says.
"Really? I thought I had gotten all of it out," I say.
"There are a few pieces that really decided to stick," Yusei says.
"Oh yes, the reason I came over here," Zora says out of the blue. "It's time for your rent to be paid."
"Give me a second; I'll go get the money," I say. On top of the fridge I pull down a cookie jar, but what is really inside is money. I pull out the right amount and return the cookie jar to its resting place.
I hand the money to Zora. The woman quickly counts how much there is. "Right down to the last yen," she says. Just before she leaves, Zora turns around. "Make sure that your two friends calm down," she says.
"We will," Yusei says. Zora leaves with a smile.
"Yusei, I think I want to join the prank war," I say.
"Sky, you take pranking to a whole new level," Yusei says. "I'm not sure that's a good idea."
"You could join it with me and make sure I don't go over the top," I say. Yusei thinks about it for a few moments.
"No," he says. I frown, and then remember something I took from Yusei when he was a kid. I pull it out of my bag and hand it to my brother.
"Does that make you change your mind?" I ask.
"Yes, but you said my slingshot broke," Yusei says. "You lied to me?"
"I was tired of you and Crow and Jack flinging berries and stones at me," I say. "Sorry for lying."
Yusei examines his old toy. "If we are joining the prank war, I have a good idea. Go get Jack and bring him back here," Yusei says.
I nod, and proceed to find the blonde. I find him hiding behind a dumpster with a sack of potatoes. "Come on potato-head, Yusei wants you," I say.
"Fine, Crow's taking too long anyways," Jack says. We return to the apartment, and a raw egg instantly slams into Jack's face.
"What the *f-word*?" Jack asks. Yusei is holding his slingshot and a tray of eggs.
"Seems that I can still aim," Yusei says. He tosses the egged Jack a towel. Jack wipes most of the egg off with it.
"Wait a minute, why did you do that Yusei?" Jack asks.
"We just proclaimed our entry into the prank war," I reply. "We got you pretty good."
"Grr, you'll pay for this," Jack says. He then goes to actually wash the egg out of his hair.
That night…
I wake up in the middle of the night and realize that I'm thirsty. I go and fetch myself a glass of water. As soon as I finish it, there is a scream from upstairs. I grab the nearest thing that would count as a weapon-a frying pan-and race up the stairs.
The scream came from Yusei's room. My brother is holding a squirrel by its tail, the squirrel flailing about like crazy. "Someone put a rabid squirrel in my pants," Yusei says. Then he notices me with the frying pan.
"Sky, why on Earth would you arm yourself with a frying pan?" Yusei asks.
"It was the first thing I could find," I say. Then I spin the frying pan in my hand and feel it hit something. There is a loud thump as something hits the floor. Yusei turns the light on.
Crow is lying on the ground, a giant pink spot on his forehead. When I was spinning the frying pan, Crow had run up to see what the fuss was about. Unfortunate timing, I think.
Jack walks over as I am trying to wake Crow up. He sees the frying pan. "Smart," Jack says. He then walks over and lifts Crow up. Jack Carries Crow to the kitchen and grabs a roll of duct tape.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Not letting a good pranking opportunity go to waste," Jack says as he starts taping Crow to the wall. The ginger is seriously out cold, and doesn't struggle.
"That's actually a good idea," I say. Yusei and I help Jack tape Crow to the wall. About half an hour later we finish by placing a strip of duct tape over Crow's mouth.
"Can't wait to see how he reacts in the morning," Jack says before returning to his room. Yusei and I also return to our rooms and fall asleep.

Me: I can't wait to see how Crow reacts.
Sky: *Laughing* Where do you come up with these ideas?
Me: They just randomly pop into my head. Plus I'm planning on co-writing another prank war fanfic with my friend.
Leo: I still want some popcorn.
Me: For the last time, YOU DON'T GET POPCORN!
Leo: That doesn't change the fact that I want it.
Me: That does it. *Opens a door and tosses Leo into it*
Yusei: Is that where you keep the other three hostage?
Me: Yep! Anywho, review if you want more. Sorry about the short chapter, I'll make the next ones longer. Also, if you have any ideas for pranks, PM me or leave them in a review.
