Woah. Over sixty reviews! I'm so happy. A lollipop for my 60th reviewer, Chocolate and caramel.
Credits for this chapter go to Shoten Shinzui, who asked me to feature Lavi being pounded to the ground by Allen and Kanda, and Arigato 8D, who asked me to feature Lavi schooling Timothy in the art of pranking. Cookies for the both of you!
Please, please, go review on my other -Man story, Firebird! Please?

Lesson 10: Pranking. A dangerous pastime.
Lavi sat cross-legged on a chair in the library, a sheet of paper spread on the table in front of him. Across the table sat Timothy, the newest Exorcist.
"Okay," said Lavi, taking out a pointer and jabbing at the paper, pointing at its heading, which read "Basic Rules of Pranking".
"Firstly, pranking is seen by many professionals as a way of life. To some, pranking is their life. It's up to you how you wish to see it. But first, every pranker needs to know the basic rules of pranking."
Timothy nodded, soaking in every word.
"So, rule number one…"
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
A week after the intensive pranking lessons, Lavi let loose his greatest prank ever- Timothy.
Life at the Order would never be the same again.
………………………………………………………………………………………………It all started on a Monday. It was raining, and Komurin had wrecked havoc upon the Order two nights back. The damage done was still prominent. Nobody could use the training rooms, and some of their own rooms had been smashed.
And so, Allen and Kanda found themselves glaring at each other in a room that the Science Division had managed to salvage. Kanda sipped his green tea. Allen glugged his apple juice. The solitary ceiling fan whirred overhead, the continuous noise blending into the sound of the rain.
Unnoticed by the two, a few radio-controlled golems had flown into the room.
The small shadowy figure in an unknown place pressed a fat red button on a remote control. At once, the golems in the room, began sprinkling glitter onto the unsuspecting pair.
Not just any glitter. Colourful, sparkly circles of foil about 2cm in diameter, applied with a heat-reactive adhesive.
Kanda and Allen spent the rest of the day looking like walking Christmas trees.
…………………………………………………………………………………………….....
Yet another day, Kanda awoke from deep meditation to find that Mugen was no longer by his side. After a brief search, he found it displayed in the main hallway for all to see.
Some death-seeking person had seen fit to decorate Mugen with pink ribbons, flowers, and lace. Lots and lots of lace.
Kanda was beyond outraged.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Three days later, Allen walked into the cafeteria, only to find it plastered with huge white posters, all with the same caption.
"Beansprout day. Get your healthy dose of beansprout-related foods at the cafeteria today! No other foods will be served."
There was even a picture of a small white thing that looked suspiciously like him being held with a pair of chopsticks.
Allen screamed.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Of course, Allen and Kanda came to a conclusion. Knowing that Lavi liked to prank people, and having had past experience with his pranks before, they knew these pranks were his style.
So after the fifth prank, Allen and Kanda called a temporary truce, and set out with one objective in mind.
Obliterate the nuisance known as Lavi.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
A terrified scream rang out from somewhere near the library.
"WHY AM I WEARING A PINK FLUFFY DRESS?!"
Holed up somewhere else, Allen snickered. It was Lavi's fault really.
Thank goodness Lavi was a deep sleeper.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
As Lavi left the library, desperate to change before anyone saw him in the monstrosity of a dress, he ran into someone. Looking up, he saw a scowl and a solitary ponytail.
"Usagi…" growled Kanda.
And thus began the game of chase-Lavi-around-the-Order-with-Mugen.
Of course, everybody saw Lavi in the dress.
The newly-dubbed 'Princess Lavi' never lived down the shame.
