April Fools
By angellwings
"Hey, Chip, you're into superheroes, right?" Nick asked as he sat at a computer in the back of the Rockporium and attempted to hide a grin.
"I own a superhero cape, Nick, what do you think?" Chip asked sarcastically.
"Just wanted to make sure. Are you into Superman at all?"
"Um, YES," He said excitedly.
"Spiderman?" Nick asked.
"Of course!"
"Then I think you'd better read this." He said as he got up and motioned for Chip to take his seat in front of the computer. Chip excitedly ran over and plopped down in the chair.
Madison approached Nick with a suspicious gleam in her eyes, "What are you up to?"
"Me? Nothing," He said as he feigned innocence.
"WHAT?" Chip exclaimed, "They can't! That's just WRONG!"
Vida and Xander came running at the sound of Chip's outburst.
"What's going on?" Xander asked.
"Chip? Are you okay?" Vida asked her now red faced friend.
"No! No I am not okay. They're actually MAKING a Superman verses Spiderman movie! They can't! They wouldn't!"
Vida scoffed and rolled her eyes, "God, Chip, you had me thinking it was some kind of world crisis."
"But it is in Chip's world," Xander said with a chuckle.
Madison peered at Nick out of the corner of her eye, and suppressed a grin.
"How did you find this, Nick?" Chip demanded. He was outraged, and Nick thought that this was the most upset he had ever seen his new friend.
"Uh…I don't know. It just popped up while I was searching for a part for my bike." Nick lied with only momentary panic.
"I've got to get in touch with someone and tell them how much of a BAD idea this is…but who?" Chip asked himself thoughtfully.
Madison cleared her throat, and Nick stared at her apprehensively. What was she going to say? Was she going to rat him out? She hoped she wouldn't. Not yet, at least, the fun was just beginning.
"Maybe you should try finding an e-mail at the publisher's website." She suggested with an evil glint in her eye. Nick stared at her in shock. She was helping him. Madison had an evil side.
Chip looked up at her gratefully as if she were a genius, "Perfect! DC and Marvel are going to get an EARFULL from me!"
Chip immediately went to work finding e-mails, and they watched as he began typing angrily. His face was determined like he was on a crusade for all that was good in the world.
"So you're just going to let him tell off complete strangers who have nothing to do with this?" Nick asked her with a smirk.
"I wasn't going to at first." She whispered in response.
"But?"
"But the look on his face is just so hilarious. I mean he's never ever turned that shade of red before," She whispered with a soft chuckle, "It was too much to resist."
"Madison Rocca has a devious side. Who knew?" Nick asked in a whisper as he prodded her with his elbow.
"Keep it down though, I have an angelic reputation to protect," She told him with a small wink.
"Trust me. It will be our little secret," Nick grinned as he turned his attention back to Chip.
"I'll show you. Stupid executives. You're a disgrace to my cape," Chip muttered and glared at the screen as he typed.
Madison clapped a hand over her mouth to muffle the chuckle that was threatening to escape while discretely high fiving Nick with her other hand.
So I decided to participate in the April Fools challenge at the last minute, lol. I hope you guys like it! The turning out "unexpectedly" was Madison's assistance, lol. I hope that came across.
Enjoy!
