Author's Notes:

This just randomly popped into my head one day, as a 'what if' sort of thing, then it ..blossomed? expanded? anyway, this is what it turned into. Just a couple friends having a prank war. And yes, April Fools day is my favorite holiday next to Christmas.

I want to say this takes place right after "Thunder and Lightning", but I'm not sure. I haven't really plotted out my timeline that far, but I do know it takes place before "The Dare". I think. Maybe right after. That would make more sense. but I haven't posted that one yet. It's being written though.

Summary: Lavender and Kalara behaving badly leads to a prank war. But not with each other.

"Shhh!" Kalara shushed her giggling 'partner in crime' as the duo crept stealthily towards the Hall of the Vangaurd, stealth camo humming quietly to conceal them. Kalara gave her airhorn another good shake, just to be sure the aerosol would have enough pressure. The object was basically a cone-shape attached to a small canister of pressurised gas. When the top was pressed it would release the gas, creating a deafening momotone sound. It was something she'd had custom-made, not for this pupose specifically, but for training sessions, since the noise could be heard all the way across a crucible arena. That and it came in handy for interrupting those rookie arguments when they just ignored her.

The two crept toward their intended target muffling their giggles. The Hunter Vangaurd, Cayde-6, was so engrossed in leafing through the papers in his hands, he didn't notice the two near-invisible figures come up behind him.

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Kalara stifled another snicker and pressed the top of the can

"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"YEE-AAH!"

Papers flew in every direction and the duo smartly ducked in opposite directions as Cayde whirled, hand cannon in hand.

Unfortunately for the pair, he wasn't the only one they'd startled.

Ikora had a handful of void energy and was searching the room very carefully for her target. the commander had backed up a little, eyes darting around the room. Kalara's gleeful confidence suddenly vanished when his gaze settled on her. "Oh no."

"Baxtin!"

"Quick! run!" Both hunters bolted from the room before anything else could be said. A bolt of void energy nipped at their heels as the two fled. Behind them, Lavender could be heard yelling "How the heck could he see us!"

"I don't know, but don't stop running!"

"Is he behind us!"

"I DON'T KNOW DON'T STOP!"

Lord Shaxx laughed and yelled "Run faster Dreg bait!"

The pair ran out to the plaza and jumped the fence at the edge. A second or two later, they reappeared behind Eververse. Kalara leaned over and rested her hands on her knees to catch her breath.

"Whew!" Lavender whooshed, leaning against the building. Kalara peeered around it as Lavender asked "Did he follow?"

"Nope."

Lavender turned her back to the building and slid down it to sit on the ground. "We're gonna be in a lotta trouble, aren't we?"

Kalara just joined her, still grinning. "Yeah." she paused then added "But it was SO worth it!"
