Joe's POV

It had been one month since the battle where Andy almost died. Reyna and I have been getting along with each other lately. We kind of have a brother/sister relationship with each other. Which I am pretty happy with because she after all is pretty cool. We do like playing pranks on each other and the rest of the group. It started when I placed a lot of her things in jello.

*FLASHBACK*

"What the Hell?!" Reyna yelled in suprise, she runs into the living room, "ok which one of you dipsticks put all the stuff on my desk in jello?"

I had to hold in my giggling as she continued, "I know Trick would never do that to me since he knows what would happen to him."

"It's true I made ketchup explode in her face. And what do I get, soy sauce and sprite mixed together to look like a coke. I was disgusting," Patrick said making a disgusted face.

"Yeah so Andy went out for food and Pete went with him. So that leaves Joe who is so not giggling," she smiled at me. And soon I couldnt hold it.

"Yes I did and it was worth it!" I laughed looking at her face.

She returned the look saying, "You better watch your back Joseph Trohman, because I will hit you when you least expect it," she then gave an evil laugh and went back to picking her stuff out of the jello.

Now I know what she meant. Two weeks after my prank on her I open my door to see that all my furniture is on the ceiling upside down and the whole room is covered in Post-It notes. I look on my bed (which is upside down now) to find a note that reads,

I told you that I would get you back. Have fun picking up the mess!

<3 Reyna

She is good, I thought to myself. We made a truce and teamed up to pull pranks on everyone.

*FLASHBACK END*

Since that day she and I have been pulling on everyone, usually Andy or Patrick. And today was April Fools day, well not technically I just decided to make it come earlier, Reyna and I planned a whole bunch of pranks to pull the week before. 

Reyna runs up to me around noon, while everyone is asleep, with shopping bags stuffed to the brim of stuff we needed. "Ok Joe here's the low down. So we plan to wrap Trick's office in bubble wrap, dump baby powder on Andy's drums so when he plays it baby powder will fly everywhere, also I have rigged the bathroom with an airhorn so when the door is opened the horn will go off," she gave me an evil smile and then asked,"Joe remember the arguement a while ago about if Pete's nose would bleed if you punched it hard enough."

"Yeah," I reply blankly not knowing where she is going.

"Well I bet you 20 dollars that Pete can get a nosebleed when he gets punched in the face," she grinned even more.

Haha yes! A challenge, I think to myself and I can't help myself saying, "You are so on Rey!" And we shake on it. And we head to bed so we could act like nothing happened.

****

I wake up to the sound of the airhorn going off and Pete yelling over the noise. I jump up and run into the hallway trying not to laugh, I run into Reyna who is trying to stop herself from cracking up.

Andy ninja jumps out of the door holding his blade in his hands, he look ready of a fight. Soon after Patrick stumbled out rubbing his eyes. Pete ripped the airhorn off the door and smashed it on the ground. They all turned to the two of us, who were both on the floor dying of laughter.

We walked to the dusty couch and turned on the PS2 we had, and played Mortal Kombat. We stop when we hear, "What the Hell? Reyna!" 

In the other room to find Patrick looking at his room where bubble wrap covered anything, and packing peanuts covered the floor. I couldn't help but laugh it felt as if I couldn't breathe.

****

Pete eventually came out of his room humming Sugar We're Goin Down.

I call him over to where Reyna and I are sitting, "Hey Pete can you come here Reyna has something to show you."

"Oh no I am not coming over there," Pete said eyeing us.

Reyna glanced at me then said, "Fine I'll come over to you," she walks over before I know it she slugs Pete in the face.

"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL REYNA!" He yells feeling his nose which was definitely bleeding, "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"

"Because Pete I made a bet with Joe, it was to see if your nose would bleed when I punched you. It was twenty bucks and I won," she stopped and held out her hand, "so yeah sorry about that. But Pete you have one hard face," she gave him a smile and flexed her right hand. She snatches the twenty out of my hand.

"Fine but if you do anything else stupid," he threatened but he didn't finish his threat as he walked over to the counter to make his drink.

I really couldn't help myself so I said, "Well that's what you call a twenty dollar nosebleed."

"Joe! That is so bad. That is the worst pun in the history of puns!" She said between laughs.

Later that day we went to practice our instruments, and when Andy played his warm up, powder flew every where. It was one of the most funniest scenes ever, not because the room smelled like a baby, but because of Andy's reaction.

"Who did this to my drums?" Andy asked looking really pissed.

And me with not getting on Andy's bad side said, "It was Reyna!"

Andy turns to Reyna sternly saying, "Well let me tell you something Rey," he then broke character smiling and exclaimed, "that was awesome, but can we not do it to my nice drum set?"

Before Reyna could speak Pete answered for her, "Yeah yeah Andy. Sure we won't use your drum set. But nobody cares lets just play! Now where did I put my bass?" He looks around desperately searching for his bass.

But Reyna spots it first, "Uh Pete," she points to a bass shaped pile of wrapping paper in the corner.

"What did you do to my bass?" He screeches at Reyna.

"I swear I didn't touch your bass Pete," Reyna defended herself.

Pete obliterated the paper to reveal his bass in a nice state. He glared at Reyna who had shock on her face, "Pete I would never touch your bass. I would never touch someone's instrument without their permission."

But Pete didn't take her word for it. And before any of us knew it she was flying back towards the wall and smacked it with an echoing thud. And Pete standing over her shaky form.

I knew I had to put a stop to this, I'm the one who touched his bass. I scream, "Pete it was not Rey, it was me. I touched your bass it as all a joke and I didn't mean to get you angry and attack Rey."

As I finish I see Pete expression turn to horror and sorrow. He looked at Reyna, "Reyna I am so sor-"

But he is cut off before he can apologize, "Save it Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III. You try not to be like them, but in the end you are. I guess once a Dandie always a Dandie. You know what I called Brendon, a dickhead, that's right a DICKHEAD! But he isn't the dickhead you are," she runs out with her guitar case in hand.

"Nice going Joe," Patrick mumbles walking up the stairs.

Andy mumbled an agreement following him.

I hear crashing of weapons and screams of, "I'M A MONSTER!" From Pete.

"Pete," I say leaning down to calm him down, "you are not a monster. Do you hear me Pete you are not a monster. Okay."

"She hates my guts now. I thought we were friends and now I fucked it up!" He got up and walked to his room. Leaving me alone to think about my mistakes.
