Phoenix
I yawned, trying to ignore the high-pitched wail of my alarm, but I couldn't quite fight it off. I slapped around, hoping to hit the snooze button, and managed to turn off the beeping after a couple seconds. I relaxed, and let the silence continue until the awful racket started again, five minutes later.
This time, I gave in to the sad fact that it was time to get up, and climbed out of bed to brush my teeth. As I finished, swishing water around in my mouth, I glanced up at the reflection of my hair, expecting to see slightly droopy and messy spikes that I would later comb to perfection. Instead, I started hard enough to send a mixture of toothpaste and water all over the mirror.
Overnight, someone had carefully brushed all the spikes into one, so it looked like I had a giant party hat sticking off the back of my head. As I got over my surprise, I smiled and shook my head. Trucy… I thought, realizing who had messed up my hair. Ah, well. It'll come out in the shower.
As I stepped in, however, I noticed that my shampoo had been hidden, and that the product in my hair was waterproof. I scrubbed a bit, giving up when it didn't come out and supposing that I'd humor my daughter.
After a little while and a bowl of cereal, I made my way downstairs to open up the Agency. As I pulled up the blinds to the front window, I saw a sign reading "April Fool's!". It was completely dark outside, and the moon still had a long way to go before it set. It took me a moment to catch on, but then I chuckled. That girl sure is something…
I made a quick stop by the kitchen before confirming my suspicions. The clock in Trucy's room, as I'd guessed, was five hours ahead of all the others. I gave another small laugh before returning the favor by spraying a little whipped cream on her face and making my way to my bed to get some sleep.
Author's Note: So, I realized how soon April Fool's day is, and decided that, since I'm not a huge prankster, the way to make up for it would be to write a fanfic! ;D Each chapter will be a prank on someone, though the people involved will vary. Also, there's one person who's the Ace Prankster, and all will be revealed at the end. ;)
This is my first multi-chapter Ace Attorney fic, so I'm excited to see how it goes. :D I don't know how often I'll be able to update, but it will probably be every day or two, if I'm lucky.
I realize this isn't the funniest one, but I hopefully have some better ones in store. :)
Requests/suggestions and reviews are welcome and appreciated.
