April first was rapidly approaching, and you know what that means. April Fools Day! This definitely had to be Charmy's favorite time of the year, as he loved pulling pranks on Vector and Espio. Before any of this could happen, both Vector and Espio decided to lay some ground rules for Charmy, mostly because he hated April Fools Day.
"All right, Charmy. We both know how much you love pullin' pranks-"
"You got THAT right!" Charmy said, very happily.
"...Mind not interruptin' me next time, kid?"
"Oh, uh, sorry, Vector," Charmy said with a smirk.
"Anyways, me and Espio here decided for you to... you know? NOT. PULL. PRANKS. ON. US!"
"Gees, Vec! Why can't you take a nice little prank?!"
"We can, Charmy," Espio began, a bit angry. "But you have been pulling these 'pranks' on us for the past four years."
"...So?" Charmy said innocently.
"So, wouldn't you agree that the two of us have had quite enough of them?"
"Sorry, Espio, but I can't ever imagine how anyone would be mad at some pranks!" Charmy then began to laugh a little at the two of them.
At this point, Vector couldn't take much more. "Charmy, listen up! You hid both my headphones and Espio's shiri... shiru... shi-"
"Shuriken, Vector. It's Shuriken," Espio said, looking up at Vector.
"Bah... whatever. ...Shur-i-ken," Vector said slowly, trying to get it right. At this point, Charmy was laughing loudly at him.
"I-It's not that funny, Charm! I'd love to see you try sayin' somethin' you've never even really said before!"
"I bet I could do it better than you, Vector!" Charmy continued to laugh while talking. Espio couldn't help but snicker lightly. Vector then blushed a light pink, embarrassed at himself.
"Why not I talk, Vector?" Espio asked with a slight grin. Vector nodded his head silently, his eyes closed, still blushing and very angry.
"Charmy, these 'pranks' of yours have gotten quite out of hand. As Vector mentioned before; you hid both his headphones, and my skuriken-in which those are very important to us. You also placed Vector's hand in a bowl of warm water, which made him-"
"HEY HEY HEY! Don't you DARE bring that up-EVER!" Vector yelled, with smoke practically coming out from his ears. Both Espio and Charmy laughed at him. This made Espio cough a little, his throat still tickling from his previous sickness.
"Vector, you're silly," Charmy said with a smile, shaking his head. Vector rolled his eyes.
With a cleared throat, Espio began again, "Anyway, Charmy. You really need to stop these 'pranks' of yours. It's driving the both of us mad."
"All right! All right! I'll stop! Gees..." Charmy said. "It just makes me pretty sad that you two can't take some jokes..."
Vector stopped and began to think for a bit. Suddenly, he got an idea. "Wait, Charmy! ...Maybe ya don't need to stop." Espio looked up at Vector. "What do you mean, Vector? I thought you were as tired as these jokes as I was."
"Just hear me out, Esp."
"Hmph. All right."
"Anyway, Charmy, Espio... how about a PRANK WAR?" Vector said, seeming to be very pleased with himself.
"A... what?" Espio seemed exasperated. He couldn't believe Vector would say something like this.
"Ooh, that sounds FUN!" Charmy said, clapping his hands, doing a flip in the air.
"Heh? What do you think, Esp?" Both Vector and Charmy looked at him, very curious into what he was going to say. It took Espio a while to respond, thinking hard. He hated everything about April Fools Day, yet he didn't want to disappoint Charmy.
Espio rolled his eyes and finally said, "Oh... all right."
Charmy lit up like a firework, he was very happy. He knew that now, both Vector and Espio would be pulling pranks with him.
"All right, so tomorrow? The prank war will officially BEGIN!" Vector said out loud, loudly.
'I still can't believe I agreed to this...' Espio thought to himself. He looked at Charmy, who had the biggest smile on his face. 'But, I can't bear to see Charmy upset.'
