Since April Fools is nearing in a few weeks time, I decided to make Hodgins and Sweets have a mini prank war. Set around April 2013, so Daisy is still alive, Brennan and Angela are pregnant but it isn't motioned in this much. Avatar, Smurf, racoon jokes ahead.

Booth had to resist the urge to laugh when Sweets came into the conference room during a meeting, completely blue. The other agents also had to resist the urge to laugh making Sweets confused.

"Is there something wrong?" Sweets asked looking around the table.

"No, Sweets, just a joke that Bryson just told." Booth said looking more red-faced than when he saw Hodgins in the pink bunny costume the previous Halloween.

"Right, so shall we get started?" Sweets said sitting down.

"Sure, if you don't have to get back to Pandora." said one of the agents causing some sniggering.

"I'm sorry." Sweets said looking even more confused.

"You do know that you are blue Dr Sweets?" asked Director Cullen.

"What?" Sweets exclaimed.

"You look like a Smurf Sweets." explained Booth. Sweets got out of his seat and walked out of the room towards the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

He was certain that he was normal this morning. He had spent the night at the Jeffersonian with Daisy and he had taken a quick shower in the decontamination shower. Then he realised that it was the 1st April and someone had set up the shower with blue dye.

"Um, Sweets, the road to the Avatar make up room is on the other side of the country." Cam said when she saw Sweets march up onto the platform.

"Yes, I know I'm blue. My question is who did it?" Sweets said scowling.

"Well how do you know that it was one of us?"

"Because I stayed here last night and I took a shower in the decontamination shower and then I came out looking like this." They turned their heads toward Carlie who was minding her own business on the laptop.

"What?" She said turning her head towards the pair. "I didn't do it." She said looking at Sweets and turning her head back to the screen.

"Do you know who?" Sweets asked her.

"The magic April Fools fairy." She responded sarcastically. "I saw Hodgins messing about with the shower last night but I didn't bother asking."

"Why not?" Cam asked.

"It's Hodgins." She answered plainly. "You don't ask; you just let."

"Fair point." Cam said nodding her head. "You're not going to try at get revenge are you? Even me saying that out loud sounds stupid."

"Of course not Dr Saroyan. I'm not going to stoop to the level that Hodgins has become on this particular special occasion." Sweets said smiling. before leaving towards Hodgins' office.

"Why do I not believe a single word he says?" Cam asked herself.

Hodgins came onto the platform and Brennan stared at his face. "Dr Hodgins are you aware that you look like a procyon lotor?" She asked.

"You mean a raccoon?" Hodgins asked walking over to a mirror.

"Yes."

"Damn it, Sweets got me back." He exclaimed looking at his eyes that had black rims all round.

"Got you back for what?"

"I may have tipped blue dye in to the decontamination shower to prank someone."

"And Sweets got turned blue?"

"Yes and now I need to get him back." Hodgins moved away from the mirror up to the seating area where he text Sweets to come over.

"So I x-rayed the bones and found some post-mortem damage - AH!" Wendell yelled when he saw a fake spider on the chair as he and Brennan entered the seating area.

"I think that the spider is a fake Dr Bray." Brennan said walking over to the spider and picking it up.

"Don't hold it up against me."

"I think that Hodgins has planted this as a joke to scare Dr Sweets."

"And what about me?" Wendell said.

"I think the joke rebounded off you."

"You think?"

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sorry Dr Brennan that was uncalled for."

Brennan and Booth were having lunch in the diner with Sweets when Booth took a sip of his coffee and spluttered. Sweets had deliberately called Hodgins over to the diner and had switched the contents of the sugar and the salt shakers.

"Are you okay Booth?" Brennan asked taking a bite of her chocolate cake, one of the things that she had been craving since finding out she was pregnant again.

"I think someone has switched the sugar with the salt." He answered wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Sweets?"

"What?" Sweets asked.

"Did you do this?" Booth asked.

"Why do you assume that it was me?"

"Because so far today you have been dyed blue, Hodgins has black eyes and Hodgins has scared Wendell out of his flesh." Brennan explained.

"Skin. It's scared out of your skin." Booth said. "This is getting ridiculous."

"He started it." Sweets defended himself.

"Doesn't give you the excuse to act like teenagers." Brennan said in her most serious mom voice.

"Hey Smurfette, how is it going?" Hodgins said smirking upon seeing Sweets.

"Smurfette seems a little inaccurate since Dr Sweets is neither a female nor does he have long blonde hair." Brennan said causing the men to look at her. "Was it questioning of his masculinity?"

"Yes and no." Hodgins answered.

"Nice eyes by the way." Sweets said taking a sip of coffee.

"Well I tried to get you back for that by scaring you with a spider." Hodgins said.

"Glad to see that worked." Sweets replied.

"Can you two stop with the jokes? It's enough damaging each other's bodies but when you nearly give two people a heart attack, you know you are taking this too far." Booth said. "And if I'm honest I've put up with enough pranks since Parker was born."

"Right, can we stop after I've taken the saran wrap from off one of the Jeffersonian toilets?" Hodgins asked.

"You must really think I'm stupid if I didn't notice this." Parker said holding up a saran wrap to Hodgins, Sweets, Brennan and Booth who were looking over the bones.

"I know you said he was good…" started Hodgins.

"…But we didn't think he was that good." Sweets finished.

"Really, I'm 12 and could pull better pranks than this." Parker said throwing it into the bin.

"Don't pull one; we still haven't recovered from the whole body swapping incident." Brennan said.

"That was funny. A bit." Booth said before receiving a glare off Brennan.

"Right so do we declare a truce?" Hodgins asked holding his hand out to Sweets.

"Sure, this is going to get someone hurt if we continue." Sweets shook Hodgins and Hodgins left the platform toward his office.

"You have done something, haven't you?" Booth asked raising his eyebrow.

"Of course not. What makes you think that?"Sweets left the platform smirking.

Later that evening, Hodgins and Angela were sitting in the living room listening to Hodgins I-Pod which was on a dock having a romantic night in.

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world...

"What the hell?" Hodgins said as soon as Glee came on. He so did not have this on his library.

"Well, I have been trying to encourage you to explore musical tastes." Angela laughed.

He couldn't believe it. Sweets had punked him. Sweets had won this round and so Hodgins settled for just King of the Lab.

Next year he will get the King of the Pranks.
