"There!" Kayi finished up the last touches to the package.

It was an accutely funny thing, all wrapped up with the seams poking out like half-wings and the top of it knotted and bulgy.

But it would do.

"So... What do I do?" Tifone asked, impatiently stomping her feet.

"Summon Carbuncle."

Tifone looked doubtful but complied, and in moments the peachy-colored fairy was hovering in the air sleepily, the delicate little paws wound around the handle of a coffee mug, whereupon was printed, "I'm Not A Morning Summon."

"Mmmm... Yes?" the creature muttered. "It's awful early... I need my coffee," Carbuncle added, taking a sip of the steamy liquid.

"Carbuncle, you remember an Alchemist named Bruno?" Kayi asked innocently.

Carbuncle glared. "Don't tell me you dragged me out of bed at 2:00 AM for a storytime engagement."

"No, we're playing a prank."

"Why do I care?" Carbuncle took another swig of the coffee.

"Bruno sat on you before. When Sonya summoned you for a Reflect, and all of a sudden, Bruno comes in and yells, 'I'm tired, where'd my chair go,' and he plops down on you and doesn't even notice...?"

The evil gleam in Carbuncle's eyes was enough a reply. "What do I need to do?" asked the out-for-revenge summon.

Bruno snored. He snored a snore to end all snory snores in the world, even Dasmon in allergy season. He snored so hard that the little hair at the edge of his nostril was swooshed in, and whooshed out.

This didn't bother Carbuncle.

Because Carbuncle knew that Bruno wouldn't be snoring for much longer.

Carbuncle casted a reflect on Tifone, who, under the heaps of blankets and a mask, didn't look much like Tifone.

The mask was that of a carnival clown, one of those that haunted the carnivals every year in search of children to permanently scar for life.

"Go!" Kayi yelled, and dropped the bag on Bruno's head.

Bruno sat up with a loud wheeze as the bag thumped his head with a loud plumph and burst open, spilling the contents of powdered dry leaves and , courtesy of Carbuncle, finely Reflected sand.

Tifone screeched and pocked her white-masked face over Bruno's head, prompting a scream louder than a Coerl's death roar. He waved his hands in a random spell- Frog, as predicted.

It bounced back, and...

Layla was first to awaken from all the screaming. The first thing she saw was a chocobo standing in Bruno's bedroll.

"Shoo!" she snapped at the yellow bird, "Shoo! Away!" she proceeded to chase Bruno-Chocobo around the cavern, effectively waking everyone up.

The whole spectacle was enough attention-attracting to allow Tifone and Kayi and Carbuncle to go back to their respective places... And sealing off the prank.
