Chapter 1: April 1, 2005
...When it was April 1st... I remembered the day...
...I met Dave...
I will always remember the day we met...
...I will never forget...
Today... It was April 1st, as everyone called it, April Fools. Everyone played tricks and pranks on each other that day.
...But that day, everyone did all the pranks on poor little John. His hair was ruffled and wet by waterguns and water balloons, his shirt was wet and dirty too. Oh how John wanted to prank them back, but he wasn't the pranking master then. He instead he sat on his pogo ride.
Suddenly, a boy with blonde hair and red eyes approached him, stared at him placing his hands in his pockets, his name was Dave Strider.
"You okay?" Dave not to laugh at John.
"...Does it look like I'm okay?" John replied in an annoyed tone.
"Um... No?" Dave gave a calm smile. John turned away and gave a heavy sigh. "Hm..." The boy placed his finger under his chin. "Idea!"
"...Huh?" John turned to him.
"Hey, listen, I've seen the other kids pull tricks on you." He whispered.
"So what?"
"Do you want to prank them back?" Dave gave a smirk. John smirked back.
"I would be glad to."
So they got waterguns and made water balloons, then they looked for a high place to hide.
"So where do we go?" Dave asked John as he held a watergun.
"Hm... Well, the tree beside my house." John replied has he held a bucket of water balloons. "Do you know how to climb?"
"Yup! Let's go!" Dave grinned, and both of them ran off to the tree and stayed on top of it.
"Okay...! Here they come!" Dave aimed his gun on them.
"HEY? WHERE'S EGBERT?" A voice asked.
"I DON'T KNOW, HE WAS JUST HERE A WHILE AGO!" Another voice replied.
"MAYBE HE WENT HOME BECAUSE OF OUR PRANKS!"
"YEAH! HE'S SUCH A COWAR-"
SPLURT!
"W-wha...?"
"NOW!"
Water balloons were thrown and aimed everywhere as Dave was shooting the watergun at everyone! The kids were terrified, not knowing where they came from.
"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" All the children ran and went back to their houses.
"APRIL FOOLS! Hahaha! We did it!" John gave a hi-5 at Dave.
"Yeah! Not bad for an ameteur!" Dave joked.
"H-HEY!" John puffed up his cheeks.
"Haha! just kidding, bro!" Dave chuckled. "Oh, and by the way, my name's Dave Strider!" He smiled.
"Heheh! Nice to meet you, Dave!" John gave a buck-teeth smile.
"Your's?" Dave asked.
"John Egbert."
"What? Egderp?" Dave tilted his head.
"It's Egbert." John pouted.
"Oh! Egbert! Haha! Sorry..." Dave gave an awkward smile. "But could I call you Egderp?"
"Ugh... Fine" John rolled his eyes.
"HEY! DAVE GET DOWN FROM THERE! IT'S TIME TO GO HOME!" Bro yelled from bellow.
"OH! OKAY!" Dave replied back.
"You're leaving?" John asked.
"Yup." Dave jumped down the tree, John followed. Then dave started leaving with Bro.
"When can I see you again?" John asked as he followed behind. Dave turned to him.
"I'll see you tomorrow, perhaps." Dave gave a calm smile.
"Then tomorrow it is!" John smiled.
"Good-bye, Egderp!" Dave turned around and continued walking home.
"Bye, Dave." John gave a sigh and smiled, then left on the opposite way.
