Normal POV

When Aurora finally found the silver-haired male, she saw him lurking cautiously through the neighborhood, looking over his shoulder and around him every few seconds. Aurora knew this prank war has all three boys paranoid, and knowing that, she was confused on why they insist on doing this year after year. Shrugging the thought off for the time being, she made a mental note to question them later.

After stealthily following Toby for another hour, only taking so long cause of the stop, glance, and walk every minute, she tailed him back to his house, probably for supplies or a break. As he padded up the steps, unaware of a certain figure snickering behind the door, neither noticed the faint outline of a small trap just below the center of the door, camouflaged by the red paint as it was the same as the rest of the entrance. Just as Toby's fingers came in contact with the doorknob, the trap opened as a boxing glove came out and punched him right in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. He fell back and landed on the concrete with a 'thud' as laughing burst from the other side. The front door opened as Masamune crawled out, still laughing as he clutched his stomach.

"Ouch. That hurt," Toby said as he stood up, holding one hand to his abdomen.

"Sorry, dude. But you should've seen the look on your face when it punched you. It was priceless!" Masamune snickered as Toby held out a hand, helping his friend and fellow teammate up.

"Thanks for the notice, Masamune. But you know this means revenge, right?" Toby smirked, mischievously.

"Yeah. That's why I'll see you later!" Masamune yelled as he raced off, leaving a cloud of dust in the place he was just standing a second ago.

Aurora shook her head and smiled from behind a tree, retrieving her notebook once more. This time, she flipped to the third page where Toby's name was scribbled neatly and recorded the necessary information.

Toby: Strike l

Prank victim: Toby Israel

Prank: Punched in the abdomen by boxing glove

Pranker: Masamune Kadoya

Giggling at how ridiculous the prank actually sounded on paper, she scanned the neighborhood, looking for the last member of Team Dungeon. Spotting him slipping around the side of the house, she trailed silently behind him.

'Why do I feel like a stalker?" Aurora asked herself, sweat dropping.

Zeo had entered through the back door of Toby's house and started to slip inaudibly into the kitchen. Without a sound, he retrieved two cream pies from the refrigerator, snickering mischievously. Sneaking into the living room and hiding behind a couch, he waited, patiently. He knew Masamune and Toby would come in as it was almost 3 in the afternoon, and that's when they usually take a quick break and recover from any painful pranks they had to experience or change their clothes or whatever.

"Hey, it's almost 3, which means it's break time," Masamune's voice rang out from the front door.

"Yeah, I need time to breathe normally again anyway. I think that punch in the gut knocked all the wind out of my lungs," Toby said, taking a few breathes of air.

"Then come on, Sir Who-Can't-Take-A-Punch-In-The-Stomach," Masamune teased as he pushed his friend through the front door.

"Alright, alright. I'm going, I'm going!" Toby exclaimed as they entered the living room. "Hey, have you seen Zeo?"

"I'm right here!" Zeo suddenly popped up like a mad jack-in-the-box and threw the pies in their faces.

Luckily, Toby ducked at the last second due to his quick reflexes, resulting in the pies hitting Masamune instead. As the silver tins slowly slid down his face and landed on the carpet, Masamune looked like…well….a boy covered in pie. Unable to contain their laughter, Zeo and Toby collapsed onto the floor, laughing their head off as Aurora rushed in. When she saw him as well, she fell into a fit of giggles as she struggled to retrieve her notebook, scrawling when she finally got it.

Masamune: Strike II

Prank victim: Masamune Kadoya

Prank: Hit with pies

Pranker: Zeo Abyss

Masamune glared at them for laughing, and if you have seen someone glare while covered in pie…..well, let's just say, it's not very intimidating. In fact, it only caused the two boys to laugh even harder as they rolled around and clutched their stomach, somewhat looking like roly-polies…who has been sprayed in the face with a little too much laughing gas.

"Haha. Very funny. Laugh it up," Masamune rolled his eyes, sarcasm dripping from his tone.

When the two finally got their act together, everyone took a seat on the couch while Masamune went to the bathroom to clean off the pie, even though he'll probably end up eating it anyway.

"So, how many strikes does everyone have right now, Aurora?" Zeo questioned, turning to the said girl as Masamune came back from the bathroom, licking the remaining bit of cream off his fingers and around his lips. He quickly took a seat beside Zeo, also eager to know the current score.

"Uhh…let's see," Aurora scanned through her notebook before glancing at each person as she called theirs out. "Zeo has one strike from Toby. Toby also has one strike thanks to Masamune. And Masamune has two strikes from Zeo and….himself,"

"Again, Masamune? Really?" Toby sweat dropped as his friend threw him a death glare.

"Shut it, Toby," he growled.

"So, if Toby and Zeo get one more strike, you three will be tied. If that happens, whoever gets pranked next is out, and one more successful prank declares the winner," Aurora summarized.

"And that winner will be me!" Masamune cried out.

"Uhh…Masamune, you're one strike away from being out. If Zeo or I get you, you're done," Toby pointed out.

At that moment, the clock chimed four times. The guys all looked at one another for a second before disappearing once more, leaving behind three trails of dust floating in the air. After recovering from her shock, Aurora groaned at having to track one of the three down once again. She couldn't wait for April Fool's Day to be over…
