It was quiet inside the gem temple, home of Steven and the Crystal Gems, the sound of pure silence echoing across the rooms.
Built in front of the entrance of the Temple is a beige-colored beach house which served as Steven's home and a base for the gems.
While the Gems were in their separate rooms either meditating, sword training, or slouching around, Steven sat in the silent kitchen of the temple base, bored out of his mind.
He finished 100% of every game on his console, caught up on all of the episodes of Crying Breakfast Friends, and Connie was still at school.
Steven gave up and truly felt defeated, letting himself fall off the kitchen stool and onto the wooden floor.
Luckily, a light bulb had lit up in his head.
His head quickly turned to the calendar, gasping as the flat sheet had read 'April 1st' and to make this occasion more special, he decided of visiting the Loud household.
Then, another light bulb lit up in his mind, why not make the only Together Breakfast?
As Steven's grin grew wider, he ran to the kitchen and began production on his April Fools celebration.
Steven ran throughout the kitchen, raiding the cabinets, refrigerator, and drawers for supplies. Steven smiled even harder as he studied the supplies he had collected.
Steven had taken out four waffles (he had made sure to make the waffles extra fluffy) and placed them in a large stack, a fully-baked bag of Pop-Pop brand popcorn, a spray can of vanilla whip cream, a plastic bottle of maple syrup, and a porcelain plate.
First, he took the bottle and poured some of the syrup all around until it overflowed and leaked onto the round edges of the plate.
Secondly, he grabbed a handful of buttery popcorn and sprinkled a reasonable amount around the plate and some miscellaneous ones on the waffles.
Third, he shook the tall can of whipped cream and sprayed a big dollop on the top of the stack, leaving a small swirl at the top.
Finally, he placed a small red strawberry on the top and into the whip cream, topping (pun totally intended) it off in a delicious satisfying way.
Steven took a couple steps back and heavily sighed, admiring his handiwork. It was a while since he had made another together breakfast, the last time he did was when his dad broke his leg.
When Steven decided to stop staring at his masterpiece, he grabbed a Styrofoam container and headed to the front where Lion was located.
Steven found Lion resting in the sand, his paws curled into his neck and eyelids closed.
"Lion!" joyfully cried Steven, container in hand "Let's go visit our old friends!"
Lion pointed his snout towards the direction of the barn.
"Lion! Not Lapis and Peridot, the Loud House!" He continued.
Steven swore Lion rolled his little black pupils as he squatted down to the height of Steven's nose.
. . .
Suddenly, a pink-and-white vortex opened up over the yard of the Loud House. Steven and Lion popping out and landing safely onto the yard.
"Stay here Lion, I know you love the yard." said Steven, patting the pink feline's head.
Lion just ignored him and rolled so far that he bulldozed the fence next door of a familiar grouchy neighbor.
"LOUDS! GET YOU'RE OVER-SIZED CAT OUT OF MY YARD!" said Mr. Grouse, his head peeking through his window with a closed fist out.
" . . . ok" said Steven.
Steven then noticed a large circular opening of a bomb shelter in the yard.
"Hey, that wasn't there before . . ." he asked, legitimately confused.
Steven walked up the opening, giving it a couple knocks on its titanium shell.
Suddenly, he heard the sounds of mechanical parts unlocking and inaudible chatter coming from underneath the lid.
"Who is it?" a voice asked, muffled underneath the metal.
"It's me, Steven." he weakly replied.
Soon enough, the door opened up revealing Lisa, Mr. Loud, Lily and Mrs. Loud in makeshift armor made out of household utensils.
"S-S-steven!" Lisa gasped, spitting out more saliva as usual. "What in Albert Einstein's mustache hair are you doing here!?"
"I came here to visit." said Steven.
"Steven, do you know what day it is!?" Lisa asked, freaked out.
"April first, why?" he replied.
"This is the day where Luan is at her worst!"
"Why? what does she do that's so horrible?" asked Steven.
"She becomes a cruel, unmerciful psychopath that pranks everyone and everything in that household!"
"WHAT? B-but she's so nice and funny and not like her!" objected Steven, his pupils shrinking and eyes widening.
This new information caused Steven to tighten his grasp on the plastic container.
"Don't believe me? walk inside and see for yourself." Lisa said, closing the lid and disappearing in the bomb shelter.
Steven turned around and ambled to the door with suspense crawling down his spine.
He knocked on the red door, a small pause in between each knock.
The door then opened up, revealing Lincoln with a worried and tired expression.
His hair was a complete mess, his orange t-shirt was ripped and covered in stains, his pant legs were torn and so damaged that it revealed his battered and bruised kneecaps.
"H-h-hey Steven . . ." Lincoln mumbled.
"Lincoln! are you okay? what happened to you?" questioned Steven, placing a hand on Lincoln's crooked shoulder.
"It's Luan, she's become a total maniac!" cried Lincoln, wiping mashed potatoes from his cheek.
Steven thought for a minute even putting a finger on his chin.
"We have to find her and put a stop to this!" said Steven.
"That's impossible, no words can stop the queen of pranks." replied Lincoln.
Steven and Lincoln turned away from the door to see millions red plastic party cups covering every inch of the hallway. Each cup was filled with three-thirds of pure clear water.
"H-h-how did she do all this in a couple of minutes?!" said Steven, baffled at Luan's prank.
"I don't know, but if we have to get past these cups we have to . . . drink them all." exclaimed Lincoln, turning to Steven with a defeated face.
Steven quickly ran out the door and placed the Styrofoam container in the mailbox so it could be safe from the hands of Luan.
He grabbed the closest cup and stared at the water that sloshed and swished inside.
"If we have to drink all these cups of water to get to Luan then bring on the H2O!" declared Steven as he started chugging down the cup.
Lincoln copied Steven by grabbing another cup and chugging it down alongside him.
Soon enough, they were drinking every single cup that was in front of them.
3,124 CUPS OF WATER LATER . . .
Lincoln and Steven sat on the floor, their stomachs sloshing around as it was full of water.
Steven grabbed the last cup and chugged it down in one swell sip, instantly dropping the cup in the floor as soon as he finished.
"S-s-steven, I think we're done . . ." Lincoln said with a small burp.
"Finally." replied Steven, breathing heavily as he turned to Lincoln and collapsed out of defeat.
Suddenly, Steven and Lincoln felt a tingling sensation in their bodies.
"BATHROOM!" The boys cried while intensely wiggling in one spot.
Steven and Lincoln dashed towards the bathroom, shoving and tripping each other as they raced to the lavatory.
Lincoln, who came out victorious, reached the bathroom before Steven but as he attempted to open the door, the doorknob was pulled clean off.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" yelled Lincoln as he face-planted into the wooden door.
"What happened?" asked Steven, crawling towards Lincoln and clenching his stomach in pain.
"The doorknob! I-i-its gone!" cried Lincoln, showing Steven the doorknob.
The boys suddenly heard the toilet flush, the door opened to reveal Luan with a smug grin on her face.
"What happened, Lincoln? you look a little pooped." said Luan, giggling afterwards. "Get it?"
"You monster!" declared Lincoln as he stood up and ran out the door.
Steven stared Luan with a horrified and surprised expression before he stood up and followed Lincoln out the door.
Luan's smug grin returned as she watched Steven ran disappeared out the door.
. . .
"That was embarrassing." said Steven, his arms folded.
"I never been so ashamed in my life." replied Lincoln.
Steven and Lincoln went to the back and 'let everything out' in the bushes beside the Loud House porch.
"Steven, we can't go through the front," said Lincoln "Luan has the place littered with pranks."
Steven thought for a moment.
"Let's go to your room, we'll be safe there." answered Steven.
"Yeah, maybe my sisters could let us in." added Lincoln.
The boys ran to the other side of the house where Lincoln's room was located.
"How will we get up there? I'm pretty sure Luan is using the trampoline." said Lincoln.
Steven had an idea pop in his head.
"Lincoln! I have an idea." said Steven, summoning his mother's shield.
Lincoln gave a Steven a confused glare.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked.
Meanwhile, all the Loud sisters who safely hid in Lincoln's room heard something something strange.
"Do you guys hear that?" asked Leni.
"It's coming from outside!" said Lynn, pointing to the open window.
"Lynn! close that window, It could Luan trying to get in!" said Lori.
Out of nowhere, a circular shape slammed underneath the window sill and a orange blur zoomed right past them.
Lynn peaked her head outside the window to see Steven's shield attached to the wall.
"LINCOLN!?" all the Loud girls said in unison.
"and Steven!" said Steven, as he appeared in the room as well.
"Steven? why are you here?" asked Lola.
"I came her to visit and celebrate April Fo-" replied Steven before he was cut off by Lucy who put her hand over Steven's mouth.
"Don't say that, she is summoned by those exact words." explained Lucy.
Steven nodded quietly until he saw something quite strange.
"Why is the door locked up?" Steven noticed the door was boarded up by wooden mahogany planks and nails.
"To keep Luan away from us." Lana told Steven.
"Guys, we need to get out of here! We're low on grub!" said Luna, rummaging through the opened wrappers and tinfoil.
"Looks like we have to draw straws, again." said Lori, taking out a pack of straws.
Steven thought of something but he couldn't figure out what it was.
"l'll just go. I know I'm gonna lose. I'm a terrible artist." Leni sighed.
"Actually, that's not what-" said Lucy until Lola cover her mouth with her hand.
"Good luck, Leni!" said Lola.
All the Loud siblings (with the exclusion of Steven) shoved Leni out of the room putting back the mahogany boarding.
Leni walked down the stairs cautiously to see a sign that said 'Kitchen this way'
"Kitchen this way?" said Leni. "Oh, Thank you, sign!"
Leni walked off continuously saying "Thank you sign!" as she walked past every sign in the hallway towards the door.
The signs lead Leni into town, oblivious to the shadiness of the direction of the signs.
Back in Lincoln's room, Steven and the others were in lined up in a circle.
"Guys, we need a plan to end Luan's tyranny and survive the rest of April Fools." said Lincoln.
Steven and the Loud sisters all nodded in agreement.
"But how? Luan probably made the house an entire minefield of pranks!" said Lynn.
"Hey dudes, why don't we use Steven's bubble to safely walk through the house and out the door?" said .Luna
All the Loud sisters turned to Steven who was simply nodding alongside them.
"Oh, right!" Steven said, snapping out of his trance.
As soon as they finished removing the barricade from the door, Steven activated his bubble.
Steven rolled the bubble across the hallway, luckily, it was big enough to fit all of them and enough space to squeeze through.
Far off into the distance, they heard the sound of maniacal laughter coming from none other than Luan.
"Where is she?" said Lola, attaching herself to Lori's leg out of fear.
The laughing continued, only with more echo and eeriness to it.
Lana decided to attach herself to Lori's other leg, also out of fear.
"Guys, stop grabbing my legs" exclaimed Lori "I need to walk y'know!"
"Sorry." The twins said, releasing their grip from Lori's legs.
Suddenly, a pail of water fell on top of the bubble. The water flowing down from all directions.
"Aw man! I was gonna get the drop on you!" joked Luan, a maniacal cackle replacing her cute giggle.
"Now, I'm terrified." said Lincoln.
"She's a black magic woman, dude!" cried Luna.
"You can't stay in there forever . . . " declared Luan in a creepy fashion.
"There's only five more hours in Pranksgiving!" hazily replied Lincoln as he quickly checked his watch, "I bet we can stay in here forever!"
"What if we have to go to the bathroom?" asked Lana, making the others grimace at the thought.
"C'mon guys! roll faster, we're almost there!" said Steven.
Right before Steven and the Loud siblings could roll down the stairs, the bubble had began picking up speed and harshly bounced side to side in a sick drunken fashion.
Lincoln saw that the stair were encased in flat panes of slippery ice, which is the cause of the sharp turns and bounces.
All of them were being tossed and turned inside the bubble, causing them to smack into each other as they rolled all the way down the staircase.
Steven, who took every blow from motion sickness to an oncoming sister, unintentionally deactivated his bubble as they hit the floor with a incredibly loud 'thud'.
Now all of them were exposed to Luan's clever but diabolical pranks but which one?
"Dudes! the door is that way!" said Luna who pointing to the door that was magically open and letting in a bright golden glow inside.
But before any of them could run away to freedom, a large pail had dropped right on top of them and slathered them entirely in glue.
"Eww! what is this stuff?" said Lori who was attempting to clean off the glue with her hands.
Seconds later, a 'clink' sound was heard followed up by a strong breeze that came from a large fan . . . and a large batch of feathers that was placed in front of the powerful winds.
Soon enough, Lincoln, Steven and the remaining sisters were covered in glue and feathers. The silly and over-the-top prank had turned all of them into chickens and ridiculous ones at that.
"Wow, it looks like you guys just winged it." joked Luan who finally revealed herself to her victims. "Get it?"
"Got any more tricks left in the bag?" said Lynn who gave her a deathly glare
"Nah, I'm done . . . except for one more little, itsy-bitsy thing." said Luan.
"And what's that?" replied Lincoln, a single eyebrow raised.
Luan then pressed a button on the remote, the button caused a cage to open and reveal a pack of feral wolverines.
"Uh oh." They all said in unison.
The wolverines jumped out of their cages and chased all of them down.
"OW! NOT MY EYEBROWS!" cried Lincoln as he ran away from of the wolverines.
"I made this prank from scratch!" quipped Luan "Get it?"
"MY SPLEEN!" cried Lynn.
After several minutes of being ripped apart by wolverines, Luan takes out a whip.
"Alright, that's enough." Luan said as she cracked the whip "Boys! get over here!"
All of the beasts listened to their owner as they walked towards the cage in sadness.
"Chaplin, Lewis, Williams, Murray, HEY! I see you back there Larry!" Luan demanded as she continued to crack her whip. When the wolverines crammed themselves back into their cage, Luan went to the front, placed the cage in the box and wrote 'return to sender' on top of the box.
Seconds later, a delivery van picked up the box and drove away.
"Is it over?" asked a bruised Luna.
"Yes, it is." replied Lincoln and checked his watch to see five hours had passed which meant April Fools was over.
"NOO! my eyebrows are gone!" exclaimed Lori "It'll take months before they grow back!"
Soon afterwards, Lisa, Mr. Loud (Lynn Sr.), Mrs. Loud (Rita), and Lily come out of hiding and approach the front door.
"I think its over!" said Lynn Sr.
Steven and the Loud siblings wearily agreed.
"Ouch, Luan?" questioned Lynn Sr.
"Yup," They all said in unison.
"Wait! Where's Leni?" asked Rita.
"I have my suspicions." said Lisa, noticing the 'Kitchen this way' signs.
"Okay, everybody in the van. Let's find Leni, and then afterwards, we'll go out to eat to celebrate! Ha ha!" said Lynn Sr.
Everyone cheered and headed towards Vanzilla.
"Wait, can I come?" Steven asked Lynn Sr, as he momentarily stopped cheering.
"Yeah, you're part of the family too." replied Lynn Sr. as he opened the car door with a key.
Steven wrapped himself aroun Lynn Sr.'s waist in a big hug.
"Get in the car, you little rascal!" said Lynn Sr.
Steven kept on smiling as he entered Vanzilla with the rest of the Loud family.
But just as the van is about to start, the airbag explodes, splatting blue paint everywhere in the car.
"LUAN!" Everyone in Vanzilla yelled.
Luan appeared and walked beside Vanzilla, turning towards the camera.
"Aw, the end of April Fools always make me feel a little blue." said Luan who was eating the Steven's Together Breakfast "Get it?"
Luan used her fork to pick up a piece of waffle that was drenched in maple syrup and whipped cream.
"Oh man, this is so good!' said Luan as she picked up another piece and happily ate it up.
. . .
Suddenly, a bright glow emerged from the flat pad made out of sturdy mineral substance.
Standing there was Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, replacing the bright flash seconds ago.
"Wow, wasn't that fun?" said Amethyst, poking Pearl's arm with the end of her elbow.
"Amethyst, I'd say you did an impressive job taking care of that corrupted gem!" said Pearl, turning her head towards the smaller gem's direction.
"Really?" said Amethyst.
"You did awesome." said Garnet with a smile on her usually stoic face.
Amethyst placed a purple hand behind her head.
"Thanks you guys, wait! oh my gosh, Steven!" cried Amethyst
Steven, who was still bruised and covered in glue, normally sat at the table. He was drinking his vanilla milkshake the Loud parents bought him at the diner.
"H-hey you guys." said Steven nonchalantly.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!?" cried Pearl, her attitude changing in mere seconds. "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"
Amethyst began laughing hysterically while Garnet folded her arms and kept her stoic expression.
"AMETHYST, THIS IS NO TIME FOR LAUGHING! STEVEN COULD BE HURT!" exclaimed Pearl.
"It's kinda funny." Garnet bluntly added.
"GARNET!" said Pearl, making Amethyst laugh harder.
"It's alright guys, I'm fine." said Steven.
Steven had ran up to them and encased them in a big bear hug.
"I love you, guys." Steven happily said.
"We love you too." replied Garnet, hugging him tighter.
"We all do, Steven" said Pearl "But can you please wash up before you get sick."
"I will." said Steven.
