Okay, so I read this story about the guys trying to get back at Lance for all his pranks (I really recommend you guys to read it too). So I thought, "Hey, why not I make something similar?" This is just about the force trying to survive through Daniel's pranks. It's an apology for not writing (very sorry for that!), and a kickoff on writing once more. Btw, you guys need to thank Lovecastle for inspiring me to get back to writing!

Arus' resident leather jacket wearing red lion pilot had woken up. He went through his normal routine, carefully checking his toothpaste and hair products for signs of having been altered by the resident prankster.

He used to be that, until that cheeky, baby faced cadet came. Lance was glad at first because Daniel was still learning, so he hadn't posed as much a threat. But now, the prankster has become the pranked, and Lance knows it. The worst part is that Daniel can pull off this face that can melt anyone's heart. How did he even learn that face?!

Lance, now showered and dressed, was putting on his cologne, thinking just maybe, Daniel decided not to prank him today. He walked into the living room and saw Daniel asleep on the couch.

"Hey, why's Daniel still asleep, and in the living room?" Lance asked.

"Daniel's sick with the flu. We moved him to the couch to keep an eye on him." Allura explained.

"So that's why I haven't been pranked all morning! I love Daniel being sick!" Lance exclaimed, causing Daniel to jolt awake.

"I *cough* hope you *cough cough* have a horrible walk." Daniel said before having a coughing fit.

"Oh, I'll probably have an amazing walk. Thank you for getting sick!" Lance said.

He pat Daniel on the head and left, going on his morning walk.

"Did he just-"

"Daniel, you need to stop talking!"

Lance was now walking through the woods. Today has been great! He finally got a single day to himself with no pranks whatsoever!

During his strolling, Lance saw a lot more wildlife than he usually did on his walks. He was stopped by a squirrel climbing up his pant leg.

"Whoa! Hey there! Get off!" Lance yelped, trying to shake it off.

Another squirrel joined the first and well, I think you can understand what happened next. Animals of all kinds chased after Lance.

Lance crashed into the living room where Daniel was once again awoken.

"Lance! What happened to you?" Allura asked.

"I don't know! I was just walking when a bunch of animals attacked me!" Lance exclaimed.

"Wait, what happened?" Vince asked.

"I was walking, minding my own business, when this squirrel comes at me. And then another one, and then some other animals!" Lance told him.

"Hey, has anyone seen my animal pheromones? I was using that to test a theory." Pidge suddenly came in and asked.

"It sounds like Lance somehow got into your pheromones." Daniel wheezed.

"You little-"

"Lance! Watch your language!" Allura cut him off.

"He put the pheromones in something of mine!" Lance yelled.

"And what would that be?" Keith asked.

"I don't know! I checked my stuff before I put it on. Shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste- wait a minute." Lance stopped himself and ran to his room, grabbed his cologne, and ran back to them.

"I think he switched my cologne with it!" Lance declared, handing Pidge the bottle.

"Huh, that was pretty clever. Daniel must've known it was a colorless, odorless liquid that would've gone unnoticed by you." Pidge said.

"Well, I'm not stupid. I do know my chemicals." Daniel sniffed, sitting up.

"How do you know your chemical compounds and what they do?" Pidge asked.

"I took AP Chemistry my freshman year in high school. Along with Algebra II, Gifted English, and a bunch of other classes." Daniel explained.

"How?!"

"Well, you do have to be smart to get into the GA Academy, or very rich. I came from a poor family, so I got there because of my high grades. Oh, and the fact that I had skipped a grade." Daniel said nonchalantly.

"You're a genius in disguise!" Vince exclaimed.

"Technically, I am. But that's not my style. I don't care about grades and all that. I like pranking Lance and you guys." Daniel replied.
