I am so sorry it took so long! We went down to Georgia for a family reunion. It is so warm down there! But it was a lot of fun! We went to Six Flags, I had my first July 4th celebration, and I also met the rest of my not-so-new-anymore-but-I-still-hadn't-met-them-yet family!
This chapter is for: lordvio, Demoness Drakon, artemis89, Bluu Inkblot, kaillinne arami, Kuro-puuAndFaiLuvers, and Doctor Yok. Thank you all so much, reviewers and readers alike! Anyway I hope all of you out there enjoy this chapter!

Mischievous- maliciously or playfully annoying.
Bookman was an exceedingly serious man.
He never laughed much, or even showed his emotions very regularly. He was never one to have many friends, mostly because of those things. It didn't bother him much, though.
After all, he was a bookman. His duty was to watch and record. That was his life's work and ambition if you must say. So, likewise it was his life. He really didn't do much more than that (besides of course yell at Lavi).
...Or so everyone assumes...And we all know what assuming things means...
People could be so stupid and blind sometimes, and extremely easy to fool. And that was the main reason Bookman loved people so much. It wasn't that they were fun to be around, it was that they were so gullible!
Usually people believed anything they could see.
So, for example, someone saw...well I don't know...lets say Lavi, go up to someone's desk. Then they saw...well...lets say Komui, go and sit down at that desk. But when "Komui" sits down, there is a tack on his chair. Well, everyone would assume that "Lavi" had been the one to put it there.
They hadn't even noticed that a third party had been to "Komui's" desk earlier. And they also hadn't noticed that said third party had asked "Lavi" to go get something off of "Komui's" desk. However, of course, the thing that was asked for wasn't on the desk. Never had been there to begin with, actually.
But people would never believe "Lavi" if he said he didn't do it. Lavi played a lot of pranks on people...Or at least people assumed he did.
That was also Bookman's favorite word, assume. And believe him when he told you that it didn't just make an ass-out-of-you-and-me. It usually made an ass out of everyone. Well, except Bookman of course.
Bookman was careful not to be noticed by anyone.
No one ever seemed to notice the third party anyway. It was one of the only perks you got for being in it. But Bookman loved it all the same. It made it extremely easy to get away with all the things he did that had nothing to do with his job. Or had nothing to do with anything for that matter.
But hey, he had to do random things sometimes. It made his life a lot more fun to live. I mean, come on, he was a bookman after all. How much more boring could someone's life get.
It was the whole reason he had gotten an apprentice, after all. Well yes there, of course, were other reasons, but still. He just never thought that Lavi would turn out so...uninteresting. But he did get to mess with the kid a lot, that was good. And there was always someone there to blame his little pranks on, that was the best.
Although, sometimes his pranks didn't really need anyone to blame for. I mean, it's not that hard to talk in a fake voice. So, it's really not that hard to say something in a fake voice then walk quickly (but not to quickly to get noticed that you are trying to get away) towards the closest exit. And while that doesn't seem to sound like a worth wile prank to pull, judging by the sounds (mainly screams) he herd as he walked out, it had a lot of impact.
And if you had looked at Bookman as he was quickly, but not to quickly, exiting the dinning area, you would think you saw a look of utter disgust on his face. But then again, that is only an assumption.

I really enjoyed writing this chapter. I like to think that Bookman has a mischievous side to him.
I tried to make this chapter longer than the others, but I don't think I did a very good job. I will try my best to make the next chapters longer as well, but no promises.
Again I am so sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. But I hope you enjoyed it. And whether you did or did not, please review.
