March 22, United States, Burgess
It had been two days since Jack had last seen April. He still pranked some kids, but it wasn't as fun. April just kinda added the excitement to pranking people. "I wonder if something bad happened… Maybe I should look for him." Jack thought. "No, he said he would just come and find me… And if anyone could find me it would be him. I'll just wait a little while longer... Maybe I should prank another kid, that always cheered April up?" Jack sat up to go look for Sandy to pull a prank. He reached for his staff when he heard a Poof sound. "April?" April popped in front of Jack. He looked more excited than usual (which is hard to believe possible).
"Hi Jack!" April turned to see Jack's staff. He immediately grabbed it. "Sorry, I need this!" He yelled.
"Hey, give that back!" Jack grabbed for it.
"I already told you, I need to borrow it. Don't worry, I'll give it back." April assured him.
"Why?" Jack asked. April didn't answer but instead lifted Jack staff up. A blue light formed and went into April.
"Ha ha! It still works!" April jumped up, using Jack's staff to fly. Then he froze a tree next to him.
"What! How are you doing that?!"
"Sorry, I don't have time to explain, I have an important visit for the Easter Bunny! Just ask Sandy!" He yelled, then teleported off.
"Did he just take my powers?" Jack tried to form snow. I didn't work. He tried to freeze a stick. That didn't work either. Then Jack remembered. "I have to warn Bunny!"
Bunny was painting eggs in his Warren when he heard a noise. Bunny sniffed around when suddenly he felt something touch him. He turned around to see April holding his boomerangs. "Oh no you don't! Not again!" April jumped away, lifting them up.
"You're just as easy as last time." April laughed and absorbed the power.
"Oh, I'm gonna—"
"Save the threats for later, I have to get to the Pole and I'm behind my schedule." He laughed and stuffed the boomerangs in his bag. "Bye!" He tapped his foot creating a tunnel and hopping in.
"That little brat!" Bunny tapped his foot but it was useless. He hopped to the tunnel only to see Jack running in. Bunny frowned.
"Bunny, I think April went crazy!" Jack yelled in between gasps to catch his breath.
"Oh really, I thought he already was." Jack rolled his eyes.
"You know what I mean."
"I told you he was trouble, but no one listens to me."
"He took my power of snow, ice and frost and my staff. Then he said he was coming here."
"A little late on the warning."
"Oh, sorry. How can he do that?"
"I don't exactly know, but he has the ability to take other spirits powers or abilities by taking something important to them." Bunny explained.
"Oh what did he take in here?"
"My boomerangs." Bunny said plainly.
"We have to get to the North Pole." He looked up at Bunny. "Can't we just use your tunnels?"
"No, that's the power he took."
"Oh darn. Then how will we get there?"
"I do have a short cut…"
North was working in his office till he heard April yell his name. "Somewhere to hide?" He tried fitting into a closet when April walked in.
"North, why didn't you answer me?" April shrugged and grabbed the two swords leaning against the table. "Well, I'll just be leaving now." He said walking out.
"Phew… Oh great, he took my swords."
Tooth was doing her normal routine when she heard April. She was gonna hide but she thought Sandy and Jack were probably with him. She went to where she had heard him calling. "Hi April." April looked confused.
"Wow, you're not gonna try to kill me for being here?"
"Why would I—"
"Because I'm here for this." April grabbed Tooth's memory box. Tooth screamed in frustration but she quickly fell to the ground. April absorbed her flight and put her box in his bag. "When the Guardians get here, open this." He handed her a piece of paper. Then he teleported away leaving Tooth and her fairies flightless.
"North!" Jack yelled but nearly fell over from all the running.
"North, he is at it again."
"He took my swords already. By now he should already have Tooth's flight."
"Oh great." Bunny looked at Jack. "Where is Sandy?"
"I don't know. I was gonna look for him when April took my staff."
"Let's go get Tooth."
They finally managed to get to Tooth's palace. Tooth was kneeling on the ground talking to her fairies. "Tooth are you okay?" Jack asked helping her up.
"Yeah I'm fine." She looked at all of them. "He got you guys to?" They all nodded.
"Why is April doing this? We were having fun and then he just left for two days."
"It's not you Jack. He has done this before. Last time he did it because he wanted something." Tooth explained.
"What did he take from Sandy, dream sand?" Jack guessed.
"Oh no, he never takes anything from Sandy. I don't know if he can." Bunny said.
"Guys, we have to find him now! My fairies can't collect the teeth quickly enough." She picked up the paper April gave her. "He said to open this with you guys." She opened the paper and read out loud. "You will find me in the place that Tooth and I met." Tooth groaned. "How did you guys get here?"
"Um." They all looked at each other. "We need a new way of transport." North said as the other two nodded. They heard a noise and turned around. Sandy waved sheepishly because he knew what happened. He floated over to them. "Sandy we need to get to where April and Tooth met. Can you help us get there?" Sandy nodded.
They arrived somewhere in Hawaii. They all started looking around. "Why did you guys meet here?" Jack asked curiously.
"Well, April caught one of my mini fairies so I came to retrieve her." Tooth explained.
"Oh, he must have loved to annoy you guys."
"I found something!" North yelled as he picked up a paper that said April Fools on it. "It says 'Where North and I met'. Ugh! Can't he just tell us where our stuff is?" Jack sighed.
"Let just get on with it."
They arrived somewhere in China. Jack jumped up. "Why did you meet here?"
"He pranked a chimney on Christmas Eve so he could meet me."
"Wow, at least he wanted to meet you guys, right?" They kept looking around.
"I found it!" Tooth yelled. "But it's another note. It says to go where he met Bunny."
They stopped at a cave. "Wait you met him in there?"
"Don't ask." Everyone kept searching until Jack yelled.
"Guys I found my staff!" They all came over. "It has a note attached."
"Well, go on, read it."
"If the other Guardians want their power back, then they must meet me at the North Pole and agree to help me prank kids until April first." The Guardians were furious.
When they got to the Pole, they saw April rush past them yelling. "Gahhh! Go away, evil marshmallow!" Phil came running from around the corner.
"Phil, get back to work." North said then looked at April. "April, give us back our things."
"Do you pinky promise that you will help me with pranking kids until April first?" The Guardians except Sandy and Jack gasped.
"A pinky promise?!" April nodded while smirking.
"Guys, what's so bad about a pinky promise?" Jack asked.
"You don't know?" Jack shook his head. "In the spirit world, if you make a pinky promise then break it, you disappear." North explained.
"Disappear?"
"Yeah, you disappear for a long time; some never come back." Bunny said.
"Wow, why didn't any of you tell me this?"
"Um, we thought you knew." Jack sighed.
"So, do you pinky promise?" April asked impatiently. The three Guardians whispered to each other for a minute. Bunny spoke up.
"Fine, we pinky promise." They all did a pinky promise and then April gave them each their powers back. April beamed up with joy.
"Yay!" April screamed. "Here is the list of pranks for today." He handed each of them a scroll. Tooth opens hers and it trailed down and out the door. Tooth dropped it in surprise.
"We don't have time for all this!"
"Oh, don't worry Tooth, I shortened yours cause you're busy most of the time." North and Bunny's eyes widened.
"It's almost Easter!" April patted Bunny's back.
"Don't be silly, you still have two weeks. And besides, your eggs practically paint themselves." Bunny was fuming mad. Tooth was reading somethings on her list.
"Toothpaste in Oreos! That is not how you use toothpaste! What kind of sick, twisted—"
"It's a prank. Well, we will meet up here in five hours okay?" The Guardians reluctantly agreed and walked out. Jack was still there. "Sorry about taking your staff, Jack."
"No problem, you did give it back. But why did you come today? Why not yesterday or tomorrow?"
"Because today is National Goof Off day! Today is the day to do anything and everything… Except what you're supposed to do! Jack, you should learn your holidays."
Five hours later, they all met up at the Pole. Jack thought the Guardians were going to be mad but when they got there they were exited. "That was fun!" Tooth yelled.
"How many did you get done?" April inquired.
"Oh, I teamed up with Bunny and got my list done. But now I'm gonna help him."
"Great! I told you this was fun! What about you, North?"
"Oh, Sandy and I teamed up too! It was hilarious." North answered. Jack didn't know if he had ever seen them all having so much fun. They were laughing and telling about their pranks.
"Do you guys want to do more?" April asked and they all nodded. Tooth whispered to one of her fairies that she put in charge. "Then let's go!"
Jack and April were setting up a prank when April froze. "April are you okay?" Jack asked. After a second April snapped out of it. "What was that?"
"Oh, I just sensed a kid pulling a prank on his friend. Every time someone pulls a prank, I get more energy. So, to use the energy, I need to pull pranks." He said while finishing the prank a little faster. Jack just shrugged and moved on.
March 25
Another two days passed and April was going way faster than usual. Jack was getting worried. April wasn't even planning them out he was just doing them. Jack was trying to keep up with April since he was going house to house it was a little easier… a little. April had assigned areas to prank for each of the 'teams'. Jack and April choose North and South America, North and Sandy choose Asia and Europe, and Tooth and Bunny just agreed to take what was left over. April left the door to his home unlocked so they could all restock prank stuff. "April slow down!" Jack yelled trying to catch up. April stopped.
"Let's go prank somewhere else!" April grabbed Jack. "April fools!"
They teleported to Burgess. April just ran around and sprayed silly string at kids, swapping their bags, moving things around, and more. "This is so much fun!" April kept teleporting around places. Jack finally caught up to April right when he got to Jamie's house. April dumped seaweed on Jamie when he was doing homework.
"April stop!" April turned to see Jack.
"Aww, why?" Jamie shot up.
"Wow, what was that?" He turned around. "Hi Jack!"
"Sorry Jamie—"
"April Fools! You're here! I knew it!" April's eyes widened.
"Wait, you can see me?" April asked walking backwards slowly. Jack was confused also.
"Yeah!"
"Ahhh!" He screamed and teleported outside.
"Um, Jack why did he go?" Jamie asked innocently.
"I don't know I'll be right back." Jack went out the window and saw April hyperventilating. "Are you okay April?" His breathing slowed down.
"Yeah, but…"
"What's wrong?"
"I must have checked my calendrer wrong or something, how is it April first already?"
"It's not. Jamie believes in you."
"What?!"
"Are you excited or…?"
"I'm not ready for a kid to see me! I can't—"
"April, calm down, he is just a kid."
"No, he is a kid who can see me!"
"Don't worry, he is the kid that saved you on St. Patrick's Day." April suddenly got happy.
"Really?!" Jack nodded. "Then I have to thank him!" April teleported back into the room. Jamie was sitting on his bed.
"Hi." Jamie waved. April jumped up and ran to Jamie and hugged him.
"Thank you!" Then he let go and backed away. Jack flew into the room to see a confused Jamie sitting on his bed.
"Jamie, how did you know about April?" Jack asked.
"Oh well, I heard you say the name April, so I looked in the library for a book about a spirit named April."
"Oh, well Jamie since you can see me," April paused to think. "And because you saved my life, I owe you." Jamie was about to speak but April continued. "So, if you want, I'll let you come with us to prank people." Jamie jumped up at the idea.
"Yeah that would be awesome!" Then Jamie's face fell. "But I have a babysitter and don't know if she'll let me go."
"I have an idea." April pulled some stuff out of his bag.
After they set up a few pranks at Jamie's door they were ready to leave. "I've never teleported a human before."
"So?" Jamie asked.
"I don't know if it's safe." Jamie made a cute face. "Oh fine." April sighed and held Jamie's hand and Jamie grabbed Jack's. "Pranks!"
They teleported to Venezuela. "Wow, that was cool!" Jamie said excitedly. "What are we gonna do now?"
"Prank someone!" Aprils shouted.
"Won't they see me?" April smiled.
"We can just prank someone that's not home." April explained.
"This is gonna be great!"
They set up a prank and hide behind a door ready to teleport away. A man came into the house and silly string shot at him. Jamie was about to laugh so April quietly teleported them away. Jamie was laughing like crazy. "Was that fun?" April asked.
"Totally!"
After about an hour of playing pranks, telling jokes, and having fun Jamie was getting tired. April was super happy. He noticed that Jamie was sleepy so he teleported back to Burgess. "Thanks April." April was confused.
"Thanks for what?"
"An awesome day." Jamie yawned and walked to his bed. April didn't understand.
"Did I make him have fun?" April asked himself. Then he looked at Jack. "Ready to go?"
"Yeah." They touched and April quietly whispered.
"April fools."
March 27, North Pole
Everyone had been pranking like crazy having tons of fun. The guardians and April met at the North Pole for a status report. April walked into the room and ran up to Bunny. "Hi Joe!"
"Did you just call me Joe?" April nodded. "Why?"
"Because it's Joe day and if you hate your name, you tell people to call you Joe." April explained to Bunny.
"I don't hate my name—"
"But I hate your name." April smiled and Bunny growled. "So North and Sandy, how is it going?"
"Great! We are having lots of fun!"
"And Tooth and Joe, what about you?"
"We had fun switching a hardboiled egg with a raw egg!" Tooth exclaimed. Bunny snickered at the memory.
"Let's get back out there and pull some more pranks before April first!" The April walked over to Bunny. "See you tomorrow Joe." April laughed and ran away grabbing Jack and shouting. "Happy Joe Day!"
The days passed and Jack was getting worried. April was getting really powerful. He was pulling pranks without thinking. He tried to tell the other Guardians, but they wouldn't listen. They were having fun like old times. Jack didn't know if he should stop them or just follow along. He decided he was just being paranoid and followed along having fun with April and the other Guardians.
