Characters:
Reno
Kadaj
Yazoo
Loz

After a lecture from Rufus and Tseng about 'practical jokes', Reno heads to find anyone who appreciates his humor – his next target: the remnants. He is now sitting in a tree in the Forgotten City

Reno: *holding a box of home-made snappers* Hmm . . . *holds up one* at least this won't cause too much harm . . . (they are the size of quarters)

-Loz and Yazoo are walking past Reno's hiding spot-

Reno: *grins* Test number one . . . *chucks snapper in front of Loz*

*snapper pops when it hits the ground, creating sparks and a small smoke screen*

Loz: *petrified by sound* Eeeek ! *grabs a hold of Yazoo fearfully*

Yazoo: *raises an eyebrow* . . . ?

Reno: *covers mouth to hide the sound of his laughter* *falls from place on branch*

Yazoo: *catches the tree branch move* It's okay, Loz . . . someone was trying to scare us . . .

-on ground behind bushes near tree-

Reno: *catches his breath* . . . Heh-heh . . . okay . . . *glances at the two remnants* Wait a minute – someone's missing . . . where's-? *feels something cold and sharp at his cheek*

Kadaj: *holding Souba at Reno*

Reno: *sweatdrop* Umm, heh – hi Kadaj . . .

Kadaj: You made Loz cry, Reno . . .

Reno: *gets up slowly* I didn't mean t- it was a joke! *picks up box*

Kadaj: *eyes box of snappers* A joke? What's that?

Reno: *tries to hide box* Nothing . . .

Kadaj: *"uh huh" look on face* Lemme me see

Reno: *shakes head* I don't trust you

Kadaj: *glares placing Souba level with Reno's throat* Reno . . .

Reno: *grimaces* Fine *throws box at ground in front of Kadaj and takes off running* You can have it!

*box explodes, creating a temporary smokescreen that dissipates quickly*

Kadaj: *coughs* Grr . . . COME BACK HERE, TURK !! *chases after Reno*

Reno: *runs right into a tree* . . . Oww . . .
