Alright, so this is more of a one-shot musing that it wiggling its way through my brain... so for now I have the prologue here as a quick preview of what I hope will turn into a lovely, funny little tale. But for legality's sake... disclaimer: I do not own Bruce Wayne/ Batman/ any other DC characters- I'm just going to have a little fun playing with their minds.


There was just something about April Fool's Day that Bruce couldn't wrap his head around. Maybe it was the constant trickery that seemed to break out through the city, a cacophony of pranks that left him running around trying to figure out what was just good fun and what was truly a threat to society. But he always made sure to have some sort of game plan. Especially after the tutu incident. For the past five years, he had meticulously kept track of the comings and goings from the Batcave, and possible traps set either by Alfred, Dick, or any of the other "friends" (and yes, he was talking about Kent here) who would decide to come and go as they pleased. Everything he did was meant to ensure that nothing caught him by surprise. He had enough to worry about with the real jokers.

So he honestly had no idea how he managed to take the bait so well. There he was, Bruce Wayne, one of the world's most watched men… and he was getting out of the back of the town car donning a bright pink mop of hair. It wasn't even April Fool's Day yet, either. Whoever had done it (and he had a few suspicions) had managed to dye his hair IN HIS SLEEP. He wasn't even sure how he had managed to sleep that long, let alone how said perpetrator had managed to pull it off without waking him. He sighed, fingers pressing on the bridge of his nose as he felt stare after stare fall upon him. It was going to be a long day.

At least Batman didn't have to worry about weird hair. For once, the night couldn't come soon enough.


I hope you enjoyed the beginnings of what I hope will produce a longer story... for some reason the main image in my head right now is "night of the pastel-painted bat" or something. Feel free to send in some funny prank ideas~
