Chapter 20: Prank Day
It was the next day, and Clementine had not left her bed yet. The light shined through the window, waking Clementine from her sweet slumber. She had awoken from a nice dream, she tried to recall it when she felt a shock to her entire system. Cold water had drenched her!
"Aiiieeeeee!" Clementine squealed, she jumped from her bed.
"Lace up your corsets, it's Prank Day xD" Emile peered over her, holding a classicly stylish bucket.
"Where'd you get that nice bucket?" Clementine pointed. "Oh yeah, and what's Prank Day?"
"Prank Day you ask?" Emilie hummed, and dropped the bucket. "Why Prank Day is only the most widely celebrated and widely loved holiday throughout the year!" She smirked, and fished around in her corset. Emilie pulled out a nice stack of sweatshirts, and handed Clem one.
"When did you make these?" She opened her sweatshirt, revealing large print 'PRANK DAY' alongside each of their faces personalized.
"I ordered them online of course!" Emilie exclaimed- Clem didn't question it. "Now Prank Day, famously known as May 16th, is a day of distrust- deceit- and worst of all… The hunty bond is broken." Emilie smiled, as Clementine gasped- her sweatshirt and all of the ink had stained her! "Never trust a hunty on PRANK DAY!" Emilie ran out of the room cackling and snorting.
Clementine had changed clothes, but she now sported a trendy amount of ink splotches. Kim was scavenging the fridge, with the same amount of passion she used to have scavenging before the…. She couldn't even remember anymore. It had been so long since any of them had even encountered a walker.
"What are you doing Kim?" Clementine asked, striding into the kitchen.
"Replacing all of the food in here with spoiled onions, it'll be so funny!" Clementine had no more shits to give today, and continued through the house.
Sarah was sitting at the dining room table, alone.
"Hey Sarah." Said Clementine. She looked up at her, and smiled.
"Hey Clementine." Said Sarah. It was unknown how long Sarah had been sitting alone, but she was thinking about something.
"Get a load of this Prank Day, huh?" Clementine smirked, but Sarah rolled her eyes.
"No. I don't want to do it. I'm tired, and I don't want to participate in Prank Day." Sarah said solemnly.
Clementine frowned at her. "Are you sure? It sounds like some excellent trolling will be going on today!" She said. Any attempts to cheer Sarah up were pointless. It didn't work.
Rebecca tumbled down the stairs, her head and stomach banging on the floor.
"Ow!" Rebecca shouted. "Someone put butter on the stairs!" She removed her behemoth sized arm from the wall, which now had a hole in it. "Uhoh…" She said.
"Haha! You fell for my prank! XD" Kim shouted. Sometime between Clem and Emilie making their way down the stairs and Clementine talking to Sarah, Kim had managed to coat the entire staircase in butter.
"You fucking flop ass!" Rebecca shouted. "That hurt!"
"#UMadBro?" Kimmy snickered. It was the best prank yet! "Try to top that one, fatty!" Kim laughed as she made her way out of the house. She was off to some other trolly endeavors.
"Oh my god. Clem, we have to get back at Kim! She is going to win Prank Day if we don't do something. What do you have in mind?" Clementine put her hand on her chin. This activated special thinking powers that made her think faster, and more than Kim.
"Oh I know just what we're gonna do." Clementine was smirking, and just for a split second, Emilie swore that she saw a bit of a troll face appear on her.
Clementine did a wolf jump past the butter covered stairs, and made her way into the bathroom. "Why Clementine, whatever do you have in mind?" Emilie asked Britishly.
"This is Kim's mouthwash, right?" Clementine held up a bottle with blue liquid in it, and it had Kim's name tag over it.
"Yes, I believe it is." The proof clearly wasn't in the pudding for Emilie!
"Well, I have just the idea. We are going to switch the mouthwash in here with a little bit of...antifreeze." Clementine chuckled. It was going to be the best prank any second grader has ever pulled!
The two hid behind the shower curtain, awaiting eagerly for a certain someone to enter the room. The door opened, and the two held their breath. They peered through the cracks of the shower curtain- only to see Rebecca pulling down her pants and squatting over the toilet. The two said nothing as she violently shat. She left and the two could finally breathe- despite really not wanting to. Just as the two began to speak the door creeped open. They heard the distinct sound of Kim's hoof feet- and didn't breathe a word.
Kim brushed her teeth vigorously, she must've been a trained athlete thought Clem. Finally the moment they had all anticipated had come. Kim began to drink the bottle of mouthwash- in its entirety. Neither of them tried to stop her. Kim finished her drink with a large burp- and the two girls were extremely worried she would drop dead at any moment. Kim left the bathroom and Emilie and Clem could finally discuss the situation. "We can't tell her" Clem said taking deep breathes of fresh air.
"No, no." Emilie clearly was just as worried as Clem "We have to tell her- she will die!"
After much discussion the two waited for Kim to die.
Kim was happily digging a hole in the backyard. She had a cute shirt tied around her waist- purely for fashion reasons of course. She looked off into the distance- Emilie and Clem glanced at her from afar- clearly up to something. Kim finally put her final touches- a pit of spikes fit for a king! She had noticed that Mike had been sad since Jane and Hank's death. He was clearly attached to Hank or something. She had the perfect prank! She quickly sealed the top of the pit with leaves, and then placed a picture of Jane. Jane was best friends with him- he would definitely fall for this!
Mike jogged towards Kim, waving his arms. Kim hid her shovel behind her large ass. "Hey Mike!" He had come just a little too early.
"Hi Kim! Happy Prank Day!" He had a cute smile she thought. "What- what's that?" Mike seemed very speculative at the photo lying a few feet away.
"I dunno, what's it look like?" Kim tried to hide her smile.
Mike creeped closer to the pitt- and gasped! It was his beloved in the flesh! "Jane? What are you doing standing on those leaves?"
Kim's years of ventriloquism had finally paid off. "Oh Mike! I didn't die in that puddle!" Mike had already been in tears. "I came back to you- so I could tell you something… Something I always wanted to say…" Mike creeped closer and closer to the pitt. "Mike…" He gazed into the pictures eyes. "You're the best friend I ever had" Mike fell at that moment.
"Friendzoned againnnnn" He screamed as he fell. A drum shattering scream erupted from the pitt. The sound of bones and blood almost covered the cries from Mike. Kim peered over into the pit- a voluptuous bucket was raised above Mike. He glanced up, despite hardly being able to breathe. Red liquid cascaded down the pitt- waterboarding Mike where he laid. Kim smiled.
"You've been ######TOMATOED!" She snapped a picture on her pipboy- uploading it to her millions of walker followers. Later the photo was trending on instagram. Kim walked away from the pit, laughing at her expert level trolling.
Cathy Munsch watched from the window, chuckling at the prank Kim had just unleashed onto her group member, Mike.
"I think I should do some pranks of my own…" Cathy pondered to herself. Oh, and pranks she did. Classic whoopie cushions, shaving cream on the hand and tickling the nose with a feather. Oh it was a grand, grand time! Cathy was surpassing even Kimmy, the queen of pranks on this Prank Day!
"I think its time I unleashed one last, final prank to rightfully earn my spot as Prank Day Queen. Cathy had reigned Prank Day Queen for a long time, and she wasn't going to let a random like Kim Kardashian steal it from under her. She rubbed her hands together evilly, ready to unleash one final prank unto Wellington.
The group found themselves in a congregation hall, called by Cathy. She was to announce the Prank Day Queen of 20XX. It had been a rather quick Prank Day, and Clementine's efforts to thwart Kim's plans had failed, clearly.
"It is my absolute pleasure to announce the Prank Day Queen. It was a tough day, of priceless pranks, and harmless jokes everyone did to each other. Cathy smiled. She loved Prank Day. In the entire history of Prank Day, Cathy had only accidentally killed a few dozen people. Accidents happen!
Cathy took out a matchbook, and lit the match.
The entire town hall exploded.
In the ruins of the fire, Cathy was laughing hysterically. "Oh yall! This is the best prank yet! I love this so damn much!" Assorted members of Wellington ran from the ruins, covered in what looked like liquid fire. The smell of burnt flesh filled the sky. The only other thing in the air were the screams of the people.
Cathy saw one person in particular run by her, with the skin melting off of their face, leaving nothing but a skeleton's skull.
"Wow. Looks like no one here knows how to take a joke!" Said Cathy, laughing. The people still poured from the building, a blockade of bodies sealed the only exit. The windows were slightly cracked, people shoved past another to get a glimpse of air. She had locked all the windows- apart of the prank- and laughed. She teased them with just a glimpse of hope- while they wasted their time the fires would soon consume them.
A man burst from the exit- bodies flung across the front patio. "WHat have you done?!" He screamed as Cathy locked eyes with him. His face was wiped clean off- he looked like an egg. "MY face! Its back in the building.. please help me" The life in his eyes faded, he dropped cold dead. Well hot dead because the fire killed him.
"IT'S A PRANK!" The funeral was held feet away from the once dignified city hall. Cathy lifted her veil and gave a cheesy smile. The victims families chuckled- they appreciated a good pranking like anyone else. Despite a few boos Cathy strode on- confident in her place as Prank Queen.
