Wow, most amount of reviews I've ever had to reply to. xD
EssenceOfPhlegm - Thank you! I hope the prank doesn't disappoint, though... I skipped describing it, so just use your imagination for how it happened. xD And I like Purrl, but I felt the story needed a snobby 'villain' like character.
Yayfully Free - Thanks for the idea, but I'd already got it planned out. And that's a bit... mild compared to this prank. xD Thank you.
Ofweaponarydefences - Ahaha, thanks.
Awsomevanessasantoro - Betcha didn't think of this prank, either!
o-CrystalSakura-o - Ah, yes, I am aware of that, I'll get round to redoing those chapters eventually. Thank you.
define-originality - I'll have to check your story out. But I promise that my beginning was completely my mind, no copying. :) I have nothing against Nook, but it's a common joke with a couple of friends to 'torture' him in our stories. We'll see some Nook-bashing in this, I'm sure.
Unknown - Thanks.
April Fool's Day- Part 2
"I still say this day is a waste of time, krrzt." Static muttered as he and Wolfgang walked through town, slowly ascending the slope to the upper half of Honevray, "Playing pranks on people? This town is like a deathtrap, krrzt. Why did you drag me out here, Wolfgang, krrzt?" Wolfgang rolled his eyes, not bothering to answer, so Static continued, "Oh, never mind... Not as if there's anything better to do. But I swear, the other animals are planning something for us, and soon they'll be laughing at us, krrzt."
"For crying out loud, Static!"Wolfgang snapped, a hint of amusement in his eyes as he glared at the bewildered squirrel, "Stop being paranoid, snarrrl. As long as we use our eyes and ears, we're not going to run into any traps. Anyway, why should we let the darn peppies and lazies have all the fun? What happened to our promise all those years ago, snarrrl?" Static sighed, and mouthed along to Wolfgang as he continued, "Never, so long as we live, will we let anyone mess with us. Should they even try, we'll teach them a lesson. See? So it's time that [i]we[/i] played a prank of our own." A mischievous grin reaches Static's face, and the two high-fived, before moving around to plan. Before they both suddenly felt wire on their legs. "Darn it, snarrrl!"
But neither of them expected what happened next...
"Oh look, fresh targets, meooo-OH!" Kabuki commented quietly, gesturing towards Static and Wolfgang. He was stood at the top of the cliff, watching them as they approached. I was stood beside the cat, also watching, and Kabuki continued, "Oh, good, they've stopped to talk. Gives us chance to finalise the plan." I stared at him uncertainly, and he rolled his eyes, "Relax, Louis. It's fine, no-one's gonna get hurt. No more dangerous than pies which could drown you, yes it's possible, than bee's nests you could be allergic to or being whipped up by a net that could go as far as breaking your neck."Kabuki smiled at my horrified face, and his teeth glinted in the sun, "But what are the chances of that? Come on, let's set this up."
The cat quickly led me to a set of strange equipment, and began shoving things into my hands, quickly giving me instructions. I barely managed to take all this in, but it wasn't long before Kabuki and I were setting up a truely complicated trap that would indeed make the best April Fool's Day prank ever to be seen. But just who would fall for it? Eventually, we finished, and Wolfgang and Static were talking nearby, standing on the best viewpoint atop the cliff face, staring ahead. Completely oblivious to our plan, of course. "Give me a moment, meooo-OH!" Kabuki said, before slinking off into the trees, vanishing from my side. There was a few rustling noises, before he returned, trying to hide an evil grin. "There, done! Now, let us go to a... safe viewing point, meooo-OH!"
I nodded, and we quickly headed for the safe path through the trees, where we'd avoid all tripwires. However, Kabuki seemed to have forgotten, for the two of us had planned to head on the right of the single tree with apples in the area. However, Kabuki swiftly dodged to the left, where one of the trip wires was. "Kabuki, look out!" I shouted in warning, but the cat had already gone through the tripwire. He turned to face me as I continued forward, and the evil smirk appeared on his face again. My eyes widened in sudden realisation. The tripwire was very thin, too thin to even feel if we walked through it. There would be a five second warning, before-
Five seconds had passed.
There was a noise from behind me, and I turned expectantly around, already knowing that trying to dodge to the left would make things... worse. However, I smiled, for what I saw flying towards me was not what I Kabuki had expected, nor was it headed towards me. Six pies flew past my face, the small rush of wind ruffling a few strands of my hair. I heard a splat from behind me, followed by a muffled cry of shock. I turned on my heel, watching as Kabuki stumbled backwards, through one of the tripwires that triggered the trap he had intended to catch me in. I knew I couldn't trust him, and I'd known immediately that when he had vanished off for a few minutes, he had swapped tripwires around, but he hadn't known that the tripwire he put to catch me was actually one that set off my own trap.
I folded my arms, keeping still as Kabuki's own trap got underway. After several cries of pain and embarrassment, too fast for my imagination to even describe, Kabuki was left glued to the town hall clock, gagged and slowly rotating around with the minute hand. Residents slowly began to gather around the town hall plaza, whispering amongst themselves as they watched Kabuki struggle to escape. Pelly and Tortimer rushed out of the town hall, Pelly exclaiming, "Oh my gosh! Tortimer, sir, get a ladder! Quickly!"
Tortimer frowned as he tilted his head, watching the thrashing cat, "Why, that is the finest April Fools Prank I've ever seen! Finally, the town hall looks interesting! Who's genius idea was this plan?"
"Mine." I lied, smiling as I approached the town hall. Kabuki immediately tried to protest, but no words escaped his gagged mouth, and I added, "What's the matter, Kabuki? You can't win every prank."
"...Louis is the April Fools King, yip yip!" Bones chorused, raising my arm into the air before dancing around, "All hail King Louis, the best prankster, yip yip!"
I grinned smugly as I looked around at the cheering animals, the words 'April Fools King!' on all of their lips. Best. April. Fools. Day. Ever.
Meanwhile...
"Um..." Wolfgang muttered as they stared up at the cliff-face, "Help! Someone, help, snarrrl!"
"See, this is why we don't go out on April Fool's Day, krrzt." Static snapped at the wolf, before looking down at the ground.
Now, if one were to approach the cliff face and look down, they would find a very distressed wolf and squirrel dangling upside down, victim of yet another trap set up in Honevray...
