AN: Of course this idea of a prank war comes from my H/E SLASH stories that I've written. If anyone has any prank ideas, feel free to let me know and I can write a chapter about it.
Enjoy!

For many it seemed crazy to be in a "war" that no one would win. Ryan and Cooper weren't about to let Frank and Horatio win. And the two older men weren't about to let the younger men win either. Their prank war would keep on forever and it was actually quite amazing how the four men always kept coming up with new ideas. Of course, there were rumors that they looked up pranks on the internet, but hey! Who cared how they thought of the pranks as long as it was fun to watch for everybody else?
It was Monday morning when Frank was awakened by a call at 4 am. Everybody who knew Frank knew that he absolutely hated early mornings and especially Monday mornings.
"Frank, we got a dead body in the morgue." Ryan told a very grumpy and tired Frank Tripp.
"Since when is that strange? The morgue is full of dead people Ryan." Frank said.
"Yeah, but this one walked in to the morgue and just dropped dead in Alexx's office according to the nigth shift CSIs." Ryan said, "You need to come in."
"Oh great… You interrupted my beauty sleep Ryan; you'll have to pay for that." Frank growled lightly.
"Your beauty sleep doesn't work anyway." Ryan smirked.
"Very funny." Frank muttered, "I'll be there in twenty minutes."
With that said Frank hung up and lazily climbed out of bed. He made some coffee and took the biggest cup he had and drank up the whole cup in less than a minute. It was all worth the burn on his tongue and down his throat. He needed coffee to wake up or he would be a walking zombie all day.
When he arrived at the lab he found it strangely quiet and empty. He hoped to God that Ryan hadn't pretended that there was a dead body in the morgue or he would pay dearly. Frank took the elevator down to the morgue and yawned. Nobody was there as far as he could see. He had to go through the autopsy room to get to Alexx's office and when he opened the door he was met by a sight he would never forget. And he would forever wonder just how long it had taken Cooper and Ryan to collect hundreds of banana skins. The floor was covered in them and of course Frank understood that Ryan and Cooper had done this.
"Is this another one of your pranks? What happened the traditonal prank of making someone slip on one banana skin? Were you afraid to fail?" Frank smirked, "Do I even want know how you managed to get a hold of all of these skins?"
When he got no reply Frank shrugged and was about to leave when he saw a hand on the floor sticking out from Alexx's office. Frank was surprised to understand that Ryan hadn't been joking. Maybe it was the victim who had put all the banana skins on the floor?
Carefully Frank stepped between the banana skins as he crossed the floor. He managed not to step on them and he smirked widely when he had crossed the field of banana skins.
He opened the door wider and took one step in.
SWOSH!
Down on his butt he fell as he stepped on a single banana skin right by the door. As he fell he also saw that the body was really a just testing doll used in the lab.
"You guys are going to pay for this!" Frank growled as he sat on the floor.
His butt hurt and he winced when he stood up. Ryan and Cooper wouldn't know what hit them when Frank had his revenge.
From the observation deck Ryan and Cooper had seen the whole thing and were trying hard not to laugh out loud as Frank slipped on a banana skin again when he was walking back the way he came. It was amazing how he had managed to avoid hundreds of banana skins at first and then slip on just one.
"You'd think Frank would see the difference of a plastic hand and a real hand after so many years as a cop." Cooper laughed.
"At least now I can go back to my normal diet. Eating bananas for a whole month is awful." Ryan said.
"But it was all worth it and we got it on tape too." Cooper grinned.
Frank muttered incoherent words as he crossed the banana field again and almost reached the end before he slipped a third time.
