~Little Terrador's Cruel Pranks~

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Spyro franchise characters. The name of Penumbra belongs to The Wyrm Twins. The Dragon Roses belong to Dragonfire. All other OCs belong to me. (They're mine, all mine!)

A/N: This is both an April Fools Day FanFic and a Teaser for a future FanFic. The story takes place in the past when the guardians were still children.

Walking through the corridors of the temple was a young green dragon hatchling named Terrador. Today is his favorite day because it's a holiday purposely created for pranks. It is April first, AKA April Fools Day.

It was still very early and all of the other dragons his age are still asleep. Terrador was carrying a bowl of warm water as he was heading toward the room of the prophecized purple dragon savior, Malefor. He entered Malefor's room and set the bowl down next to Malefor and Terrador placed Malefor's paw in the water.

Afterwords, Terrador went to Ignitus's room. He covered his snout with a cloth as he took out a white dragon rose. He then set it right underneath Ignitus's snout. Then Terrador left to go into an entirely different room.

In this room room, a young light dragoness named Penumbra, with white scales and light blue wings and underbelly, and twelve horns was sleeping. Once again, Terrador covered his snout and took out another dragon rose...a red one this time. He set the rose underneath one of her scales and left.

He then checked on some other 'pranks' and waited for everyone to wake up. The other pranks needed to be pulled off while everyone was awake.

Later that morning, crying could be heard coming from Malefor's room. He woke up and realized that he wet the bed.

"TERRADOR!!!" A feminine voice called out. It was the voice of the ice guardian and dragoness, Tundra, "WHERE ARE YOU?!?!"

Terrador entered Malefor's room with an innocent expression on his face, "Did you want me, master Tundra?" Terrador asked.

"I don't suppose that you had anything to do with sticking Malefor's paw in warm water to make him wet the bed, did you?" Tundra criticized.

"Who? Me?" Terrador said sarcastically.

"Oooh!!! When I get my claws on you, I'll..." Tundra said before being cut off by the electric guardian, Lektrek.

"Now, now, Tundra," Lektrek said, "It's not like Terrador put Malefor's life in danger or anything like that."

Later, during breakfast, the fire guardian, Pyrus, was wondering where his grandson, Ignitus, was. But he was still in his room asleep thanks to the affects of the white dragon rose. Penumbra came into the dining hall and began to rub up against Volteer lovingly, but then she shook her head and snapped her self out of it. 'What am I doing? I only love Nightshade!' She thought to herself. Then she sat down next to the black dragon, Nightshade and had breakfast.

As Penumbra ate, she also nuzzled next to Nightshade. In general, this wasn't strange. But she's usually able to control herself. Terrador used this distraction to pour yellow powder into Nightshade food. The yellow powder was ground up yellow dragon roses.

As Nightshade ate, he began to feel sick, "Hey buddy, you're not looking to good," Terrador said, "You should get out to get some fresh air. That might help."n

Nightshade went outside, followed by Terrador. When Nightshade sat down, he lowered his head and vomited. Meanwhile, Terrador tied a rope to Nightshade's tail. The rope was attached to a boulder that sat on top of a tree branch. Terrador knocked over the boulder, pulling the rope and hanging Nightshade by his tail.

Terrador laughed at Nightshade's situation as Nightshade hung and vomited at the same time.

~Later~

"TERRADOR!!!" Kwaik, the earth guardian yelled loud enough so that half of Warfang could hear, "GET IN HERE...NOW!!!"

Hearing this, Terrador went to where the voice came from...Ignitus's room. Everyone was in there. Tundra was holding a sealed plastic bag with a white dragon rose in it, "Did you have anything to do with putting this white dragon rose by Ignitus?!" She said.

"It's just a dragon rose," Terrador said in a cocky tone, "It's not like it hurt him."

The fire guardian, Pyrus, stepped in, "That's where you're wrong. With prolonged exposure to the dragon roses, the affects become permanent," Pyrus said, "You just put my grandson into a coma!"

A nervous, and guilty expression came across Terrador's face. Tundra noticed this, "Are there any other dragon roses that we should know about?" She said.

Just then, Penumbra walked and started to flirt with Terrador, "High there, Terry," She said as she wrapped her tail around his. Then she began kissing Terrador and tried to seduce him.

"It appears that there is another rose," Kwaik said, noticing the red rose on Penumbra. He took the rose off and put it into the bag. But Penumbra was still acting seductive.

"Anything else we should know about?" Lektrek asked.

"Well...uh..." Terrador said nervously.

"Well as long as it was the yellow rose, there aren't any permanent affects," Pyrus said.

"So I won't get in trouble for putting ground up yellow roses in Nightshade's breakfast?"

"YOU WHAT?!!!" The four guardians yelled in unison. Then they all lowered their heads in despair.

"What? What's wrong?" Terrador asked.

"That would explain the large puddle of vomit when I found him hanging in that tree," Kwaik said somberly, "I assume that was your doing as well."

"What happened?" Terrador asked again.

"Yellow dragon roses are poisonous when injested," Pyrus said, "They could kill an adult within a day or two. But a hatchling only has a few hours."

"You mean he's gonna die?" Malefor asked with tears in his eyes.

"I'm sorry," Kwaik said, "Pyrus, you stay here with your grandson and Malefor. He shouldn't have to see him in that condition."

Terrador was lead to Nightshade's room while Pyrus and Malefor stayed with Ignitus. When they got to Nightshade's room, he was practically laying in a pool of his own vomit. But what made Terrador want to vomit wasn't the pool of vomit, it was Nightshade's appearance. His scales were faded and discolored. There was mucus running out of his nose and mouth. And his breathing was labored. And the tears in his eyes showed how miserable he felt.

Terrador, now realizing what he has done, was shocked, "Oh my god! I didn't mean for it to go this far!" Terrador said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Nightshade. I just wanted to prank you. I didn't want anyone to get hurt."

Nightshade was about to speak. But all that came out was more vomit. Then the room went silent when Nightshade stopped breathing. It was then that Penumbra wrapped her tail around Terrador's and pulled him with her. She wanted to have her way with him, "Come on, my love," She said.

"No! This isn't like you!" Terrador said, freeing his tail from her's.

Terrador ran to his room and hid in there, hoping that this would all blow over, hoping that he'd wake up from a dream.

~Later~

Tundra went into Terrador's room to find him and give him his punishment. She came in with Malefor, who looked very lethargic and ashamed of himself, "Terrador," The ice guardian said, "Do you know what just happened to young Malefor here?"

"What happened?" Terrador asked Tundra.

"Penumbra...well..." Tundra was obviously uncomfortable about what happened. She then whispered into Terrador's ear what happened and his eyes widened, and his jay hit the floor, "You see now?" Tundra continued, " You using those dragon roses was going too far."

At that moment, the other guardians entered the room as well, "Before we give you your punishment, you need to hear what these people have to say." Pyrus said.

From behind him, three voices said, "April fools!!!"

Terrador turned around to see Penumbra acting like herself again, Ignitus awake, and Nightshade alive. "How does it feel when you're the one getting pranked?" Nightshade asked.

Terrador was still dumbfounded when Kwaik spoke up, "The dragon roses have no permanent affects."

"You mean that whole time, Penumbra was just acting?" Terrador asked.

"Do you realize how disgusted I feel for doing that?" Penumbra replied, "Just the thought of me being with you makes me sick. But it was worth it to see your reaction." She added with a laugh.

"Ignitus was awake that whole time?" Terrador asked, "And Nightshade isn't really sick?"

Nightshade shade then vomited right then before Pyrus spoke up, "Well, because he ingested the yellow dragon we can't cancel the affects by taking the flower away. He really is sick. But it's no more than having a stomach bug. We have to wait for the yellow rose to go through his system before he feels better."

"So you all set me up?" Terrador asked with a laugh.

"It was our way of getting back at you," Nightshade said.

"We knew that punishing you wouldn't be enough," Penumbra said, "So instead, we decided to work on you terms."

"We needed to speak you're language, so to speak," Ignitus said, "This is what really happened..."
