Number 52 written, with me owning just the plot bunny & The Great Forest. Seriously, check it out sometime. This one takes place early April 2009.


Iron Liz was pacing in Spoony and Miles' kitchen, the latter and Scarlett watching him from their seats at the kitchen table. Tiredly she stated, "I don't know who's a worse influence on the other: my boyfriend on yours, Scarlett, or vice versa."

Scarlett shrugged, a lollipop jammed in one side of her mouth. "I think it's 50-50."

"Yep," sighed Miles. "If Spoony gets arrested my co-workers will never let me live it down."

"No kidding," chuckled both women. Quietly Iron Liz ran a hand through her curly hair, her expression tense. Her boyfriend and his best friend had pulled a series of crazy pranks on April Fools' Day that had riled up pretty much everyone.

They had even pranked themselves, but it hadn't saved them in the end. No one else could have done it. Iron Liz banged her head against the wall.

"Silly Linkara…"

"And Spoony," echoed Scarlett, resting her head in her hands. "They're both such boys."

"I ought to be starting on dinner," Miles mused. Iron Liz glanced at the wall clock. "I suppose Nostalgia Critic will be done with them soon… unless he got Ask That Guy involved."

Scarlett paled. "Don't even think such things!"

"Sorry," Iron Liz shuddered. "But it is an option."

Miles started on rice and chicken breasts with cooked vegetables on the side while Scarlett set the table and Iron Liz continued pacing. A few minutes after dinner was ready Spoony and Linkara strolled through the front door, the former calling out, "Miles, I'm home!"

Miles rolled his eyes as his brother and Linkara came into the kitchen. The younger brother stated, "So, how did it go?"

"He wasn't even really that mad," Spoony grinned, sneaking a chicken nugget. Linkara nodded with a borderline arrogant grin. "We're too important to get into real trouble, I guess."

Spoony nodded, tossing Linkara a second chicken nugget. As the comic book reviewer ate it, Spoony commented, "That, and he loves us. And we love everyone!"

"Is that why you pranked everyone?" Scarlett sighed, raising her eyebrows. Spoony and Linkara nodded happily before the latter inquired, "Iron Liz- can we stay for dinner?"

She stared at her boyfriend's puppy dog eyes for a long minute as if enchanted. At length she conceded, "Fine."

"YES!" cheered the pair of best friends. The other three just face-palmed.
