Jericho cared for everyone in his squadron. He made sure they were safe, that they suffered minimal injuries in battle… but that didn't mean they didn't sometimes drive him crazy. In particular… two superhornets who seemed set on stealing his sanity.

"ICEMAN! GOOSE!"

Both superhornets tried their best to hold back laughs as Jericho rolled out of his hangar… with pink flowers painted on his wings.

"That's a good look for you Jericho." Iceman snorted. "Really brings out your eyes."

"Y-Yeah." Goose was having a hard time keeping a straight face. "That should impress Rebecca."

Jericho snorted at them, propeller spinning.

"That is none of your business!"

"So you do like her?" Goose asked.

Jericho's eyes narrowed. "Watch it, Goose."

"What? It's an honest question sir."

Jericho let out a frustrated sigh.

"Oh nevermind. Excuse me, I need to get these flowers off my wings."

Jericho rolled off, steaming a bit as he went to Dean's workshop.

"So Goose…" Iceman started. "What shall we do next?"

"Hm… Borrow some of ol'Ben's sheep and put them in his hangar?"

"Hm… not sure I wanna test my luck with Little Pup."

Goose hummed in thought. "... You got a point. Last thing we want is dents and then having to say: "We got beat up by a little girl." never live it down… Alright, how about fast fly by? Knock everything down."

"Let's do it… and much more."

"My… canopy…"

Jericho was at Honkers, his muzzle resting on the end of a table, exhausted.

"Those two chuckleheads have been at it all DAY."

Dean shook his head. "Yeah, I'm surprised you haven't popped one in their rudders yet. Pow!" He mimicked firing a gun.

"I just don't get why they feel insistent on playing pranks.

"It's their way of coping." Bert commented between sips of his oil. "Some tough it out…. others laugh off the pain with jokes."

"Kind of a bit extreme with this don't you think?" Jericho asked.

"Eh... Considering the other extreme… Going nuts and trying to kill us all literally because they snapped… I'd rather pranks." Dean dead panned.

"True…" Jericho sighed. "I need to learn to lighten up a little."

"Hey, don't' be hard on yourself." Bert gave him a pat on the wing. "They're both chuckleheads, you're the leader, you got authority to hold."

Jericho nodded. "Right…"

"Buuut." Bert smirked. "You better put them in their place by getting back at them."

"How?"

"Well… we'll need a favor from Ben."

"... This can only end in tears. I want no part of this." Dean remarked.

"Least have a camera ready, Dean."

"Oh I will. Gotta save it for future generations."

"Mehehe… Alright Jericho… follow my lead."

Jericho and Bert sat patiently outside, along with a few other people… mainly Ben and Clara.

"I get the feeling this is gonna be quite the story to tell future generations." Ben commented. "Can't wait to see how they react."

"Me too…"

"They should be awake in three… two… one…"

"GAAAHH!"

Bert smirked. "Right on cue."

Iceman and Goose came rolling out their hangars… painted completely black… and had wool stuck on to them. Everyone looked to them laughing.

"Oh Machina! What happened to you two?!" Hiroto asked.

"Don't… Ask…" Goose growled.

"Attention on deck!" A forklift called. "We have in our midst… The Woolly Wrenches!"

Everyone fell over laughing as Dean snapped a photo.

"Plane Sheep. I've officially seen EVERYTHING!" Homura laughed.

The two Wrenches rolled their eyes. "Quick! To the hangar!"

"We've been countered! RETREAT!"

The two superhornets rolled away, leaving everyone to calm down from their laughing fits.

Jericho just smiled to himself, chuckling a bit.

"And so this has been filed away for future generations." Dean remarked snapping pictures as they went.

"I want copies of those!" Clara called.

"Yeah, cost some of our sheep their wool so we get dibs!" Ben added.

"You'll have your blackmail no worries." Dean smirked.

"I almost feel sorry for them." Jericho said before shaking his head. "And yet at the same time I don't."

"Karma's a pain in the rear." Sam smirked. "They had it coming."

Ben nudged Jericho.

"Way to prank 'em… nice to see you having a little fun."

"Eh, kind of forgot how, I'll admit." Jericho chuckled. "Even leaders need to lighten up once and awhile."
