A/N: Finally the long-awaited sequel to Prank Master! I'd like to thank everyone who read and reviewed my first story. I finally got the hint and wrote part 2 of this. This can be read alone, but I would greatly appreciate it if you would read Prank Master as well, since there is a reference or two to it. This particular story focuses on how Jane is going to take back the title of Prank Master from his girlfriend, Lisbon. I think that's enough of me talking, so on with the story!

Taking Back the Title
Chapter 1-Setting the Stage

Summer was just around the corner, meaning that all of the carnivals and fairs that would come with it would soon be open. Having already been to the movies and dinner and dancing, Jane decided that the carnival would be somewhere different to go on his date with Lisbon. He had already chosen which carnival they would attend, so he headed to Lisbon's office to inform her.

"Hey beautiful." Jane announced as he entered her office.

Lisbon smiled at him from her desk.

"Hey yourself."

Jane went over and gave her a quick peck on the cheek before retreating to Lisbon's office couch.

"I decided where we could go out this weekend." he said.

She signed her name on the report she was working on and then asked:

"Where?"

Jane pulled a flyer advertising his chosen carnival out of his coat pocket and handed it to Lisbon.

"A carnival?" she asked, examining the flyer.

"Yep, a carnival. I know some people at this carnival from when my father and I traveled the Midwestern carnival circuit." he informed her as she handed him back the flyer. "Plus, I know how much you secretly love carnivals."

Smiling, Lisbon rolled her eyes.

"A carnival sounds great, Patrick." Jane returned the smile.

"Perfect. Saturday is opening night, so I'll pick you up at six-thirty. We should make it there before it opens at seven."

"Alright. It's a date."
