So lately I've been making a lot of pun jokes with my friends. (I don't think they're too amused by it after the tenth joke in a row) So I was bored and goggled up some more jokes and as I read them, I thought about making a MIDC chapter about it. I know I have a chapter about cheesy pick-up lines...but I'm just going to write this chapter anyways.

And here it is.


65) That's Not Punny

Soul, Maka, Black-Star and Tsubaki were sitting in front of the DWMA, all waiting for Kid to arrive.

"So when is Kid supposed to get here?" Soul asked his friend.

"Somewhere between now and later." Black-Star said.

"You didn't listen, did you?" Maka asked.

"Maybe..." The star muttered.

"You had one job." Soul sighed. The teens sat there in awkward silence for several minutes until Tsubaki spoke up.

"Hey Maka, have you ever heard the pizza joke?"

"Um...no."

"Never mind, it's too cheesy." Tsubaki smiled as the others laughed.

"Where did that come from?" Soul asked.

"How does NASA organize parties?" Maka asked back.

"I don't know." Tsubaki responded.

"They planet." Maka started laughing and the others let out groans.

"How do you kill a vegetarian vampire?" Soul asked the group. "With a steak to the heart."

"Why was six afraid of seven?" A voice asked behind the teens. "Because seven was a well known six offender." The group turned around and was greeted by a laughing Giriko and a head-shaking Justin.

"I thought it was 'because seven eight nine'." Tsubaki said.

"Not to Giriko." Justin muttered.

"So what are you doing here?" Maka asked while Soul glared at Giriko.

"Just turning a report on Giriko's progress." Justin responded.

"He got it in, Justin time." Giriko said and burst out in loud laughter. The saw went over to the ledge next to the steps and sat on it. "We even got here early, Justin case we got stuck in traffic."

"I can kill him for you if you want." Soul offered.

"I'd rather do it myself." Justin said with a threat towards Giriko.

"What is the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know, and I don't care." Giriko slapped his leg and laughed some more. The teens all shared a look, shrugged and decided to join in with the fun.

"Just got back from an emotional wedding. Even the cake was in tiers." Tsubaki said.

"What kind of shoes do ninjas wear? Sneakers." Black-Star pointed at himself before laughing.

"I wrote a song about a tortilla. Well actually, it's more of a wrap." Soul added.

"What do you call a dinosaur with a extensive vocabulary? A thesaurus." Maka chuckled and it took Black-Star a moment to get the joke.

"A midget fortune teller who kills his customers is a small medium at large." After the group stopped laughing at Giriko's pun, they all stared at Justin.

"What?" Justin asked.

"Come on Justin, tell us a pun." Maka said.

"I don't know any." Justin stated.

"Bull, you make pun jokes all the time back home." Giriko said, ignoring the strange looks he got from Soul and Maka.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Justin crossed his arms.

"Don't make me do it." Giriko threatened with a smirk.

"Make you do what...oh don't you dare." Justin took a step back.

"I kind of want to see what it is." Maka said out of curiosity.

"Do it, do it!" Black-Star chanted.

"The people have spoken." Giriko jumped back to his feet and launched himself towards Justin. He grabbed the smaller man from behind and started to tickle him. The teens wasn't sure how to react as Justin laughed and struggled against Giriko's grip.

"Stop it!" Justin begged between laughs.

"I'll save you!" Black-Star announced and ran over to the men. The star jumped on Giriko's back, holding the saw's shoulder with one hand and throwing the other one into the air and shouting about how amazing he was.

"What are you doing, you idiot!" Soul snapped as he went over to the men as well. The scythe grabbed one of Giriko's arms and tried to pry it off of Justin, but wasn't strong enough to do it on his own. Maka went towards the group and held the other arm and tried to pull it away as well. Tsubaki ran over as well and wrapped her arms around Black-Star, trying to get him off of Giriko. The group all struggled and Justin's face was pure red from laughing so hard.

"What is going on here!?" The group all stopped moving and turned their heads towards the person who shouted at them. They all saw Kid, with his arms crossed and a foot tapping on the ground with irritation.

"Hey Kiddo...did you ever hear about the pizza joke? Never mind, it's too cheesy." Black-Star chuckled.

"Get. Down. Now." Kid ordered. Black-Star quickly jumped off of Giriko's back and stepped away, Tsubaki right behind him. "Let. Go." Maka and Soul immediately dropped their arms from Giriko's. "You too." The shinigami said to Giriko. Giriko hesitated for a second before releasing Justin.

"I...uh..." Justin stuttered, attempting to explain what was happening only moments ago.

"Aren't you supposed to be going on a mission later today Mr. Law?" Kid asked. "And I suggest leaving him-" Kid gestured towards Giriko. "-tied up and left at home."

"Now who are you to tell-"

"Shut up Giriko." Justin snapped, Giriko opened his mouth to say something else, but stopped himself and rolled his eyes.

"And you." Kid glared at Black-Star. "We were supposed to be on a mission as well, three hours ago." Black-Star smiled nervously. "I have been waiting with Liz and Patty at the train station, for the past three hours."

"But you said we didn't have a mission today."

"I said that we did." Kid snapped. "Maybe if you would listen to me for once instead of just hearing what you want to hear, you would know."

"But-"

"I am sick and tired of you not listening to me Black-Star!" Kid interrupted the boy. "And I am sick of being with you. I want all of your stuff out of my house by tomorrow or I'm throwing it out the window and setting it on fire." The shinigami turned around and started walking away.

"Oh shit." Giriko muttered.

"Kiddo..." Black-Star jogged over to Kid and grabbed the boy's shoulder. "You're not serious...are you?"

"No." Kid looked over his shoulder and winked. "I'm just Kid-ding."

"Oh shit!" Giriko repeated, louder and with a laugh.

"I suggest doing a better prank time." Kid said with an evil smirk and then set something into Black-Star's hand before walking off again.

"Is that a rubber band?" Soul asked.

"Yeah...earlier this morning I put it around the hose thing on the sink and Kid got soaked." Black-Star explained.

"You just got owned." Giriko stated.
