Larry's signature knock sounded on the door.

"Come in!" Janet answered from where she was sitting on the couch with Jack. Larry opened the door and came into the apartment. Janet and Jack both felt a little confused that he was by himself, because Terri almost always was with him. They were joined at the hip lately.

"Where's Terri?" Jack asked him, also noticing her absence.

"She's coming, she just forgot her magazine up at my place. She had to go back to get it. I guess there is this quiz that she wants to..." Larry started to say, but then was cut off by Terri, who came bounding into the apartment.

"No, don't tell them!" Terri playfully scolded Larry as she came up behind him. She was clutching a magazine tightly in her right hand. She wrapped her left arm around Larry's waist and steered Larry over to the couch, plopping him down next to Jack and Janet. Janet and Jack looked at Larry quizzically, who just gave them a shrug in response.

"Okay!" Terri stood in front of them and began. "So, I got this psychiatry magazine from one of my doctor friends about a week ago and there is this question in it that I'd like to ask you all. It's just one question. Depending on your answer, it can accurately predict whether or not someone is a psychopath."

Terri's eyes gleamed with a morbid curiosity and she smiled just a little too cheerfully on the last word. Jack, Larry and Janet all cast each other disbelieving looks.

"No one can tell that sort of thing from just one question!" Jack protested.

"How did you answer it, Terri?" Janet asked her, genuinely curious.

"I can't tell you that, because that would give the whole thing away." Terri shook her head, still smiling widely. "But just know that I got it wrong, thankfully."

"So, if you get the answer right, you're a psycho?" Jack wondered.

"More than likely, yes. Apparently, it is used to screen would be police officers and everything. If you answer it in a certain way, then you cannot serve on the police force." Terri informed him.

"Wow..." Jack's eyes got huge. "This is a test that I hope I flunk."

Everybody laughed nervously at what Jack had said.

"Are you ready to take it?" Terri asked them eagerly.

Janet, Jack and Larry all looked at each other uneasily. Finally, Jack shrugged.

"Sure, I guess..." Jack spoke up for the group.

"Okay!" Terri held up her magazine, found the page she was looking for and then cleared her throat as she read from it. "A woman goes to her mother's funeral. At the funeral, she meets this man whom she has never seen before, and she falls madly in love with him. The following week, that same woman kills her own sister. Why does she commit the murder?"

Everybody screwed their faces up in confusion as they thought about what they had just heard.

"I guess she kills her sister because her sister was planning on going out with the guy?" Janet guessed, then smiled to herself. "It's pretty obvious."

"Nope!" Terri shook her head and smiled. "See, that's what I thought too...but we were both wrong, thankfully."

"Maybe the woman was so overcome with grief from her mother dying that she was driven mad and didn't even know what she was doing, so she just killed her sister in a blind rage?" Jack offered with much enthusiasm and gusto. For a guy who hoped he would get it wrong, he now seemed very into the question.

"Wrong!" Terri giggled. "Good try, though!"

Larry sat quietly and stared off into space as he thought about how to answer the riddle he had just heard. He stroked his chin thoughtfully and replied in a calm tone after he had taken a good thirty seconds to mull things over.

"I think she wanted to create the need for another funeral in the hope that she'd see her crush again. Since she met the man at a funeral, she killed her sister hoping that the guy she liked would show up so she could see him again."

Jack and Janet laughed at Larry's twisted logic.

"That makes no sense!" Jack scoffed.

Terri's features, however, twisted into a look of pure shock and then horror.

"That's, um, t-that's...correct." Terri stammered softly. Jack and Janet nearly did double takes at what Terri had said. They ever so slowly turned their heads to look at Larry, completely freaked out. Larry, however, didn't seem to notice their shock.

"Oh, cool!" Larry's eyes glittered eerily as he smiled at Terri. "Do I win anything for being right?"

"You don't win anything, Larry! It means you're a-a-" Janet sputtered, horrified. Her dark eyes were wide with fear and her face was pale.

"Janet!" Terri blurted out, interrupting her friend before she could finish that sentence. The nurse had a forced, tight smile on her face. "Janet, can I see you in the kitchen for a second?"

Janet matched Terri's grimace with her own frozen and uncomfortable smile.

"Why, sure, Terri." She nodded as she rose up from the sofa. After a few seconds of a forced show of calm, both girls ran into the kitchen together. Larry didn't seem to notice how weird they were acting and was just kind of staring off into the distance. Jack shifted uncomfortably on the couch as he cast his best friend a sidelong and wary glance. He really wished the girls hadn't left him alone with Larry at the moment.

"Jack..." Larry said, breaking the silence.

Jack flinched, almost falling off of the couch at the sudden noise.

"Yes?" Jack gulped.

Larry looked around the room as though he was disoriented and bewildered, grinning creepily.

"Jack, what month is this?" Larry asked him.

Jack was confused by the question. He began to think that his poor buddy had just lost his marbles.

"Um, it's April." Jack informed him quietly.

"No, it's not. It's March." Larry shook his head, the smile never leaving his face.

"No, it's April." Jack tried to clarify for him. Inside, he was terrified. How could Larry not know that it was the month of April? Larry had an April birthday, for goodness sake. "Buddy, you're acting really weird...maybe you should lay down for a while..."

"But yesterday, it was March." Larry insisted in a teasing, sing song tone of voice.

"Yes, that's right. Yesterday was March. And now today it's April the..." Jack trailed off as it hit him like a ton of bricks. He smacked himself in the forehead as it dawned on him. "Oh, for the love of..."

"April Fools!" A triumphant cry burst out of Larry. All freakishness disappeared from his expression and now he was just grinning impishly...Jack was so glad to see that familiar look on his face. Larry finally burst into the laughter he had been desperately trying to hold in for the past half an hour. It felt so good to finally get it out of his system.

"Oh, my God!" Larry cackled uproariously, very proud of himself. "I thought I was going to start laughing and then ruin the whole thing! You have no idea how hard it was keeping a straight face!"

Jack chuckled freely as relief flooded his body and his pulse returned to normal.

"How did you know?! You do realize that the girls think you're a total nutcase now, right?" Jack playfully punched Larry on the arm.

"Oh, Terri left the magazine laying around at my place." Larry waved him off casually. "I got curious and flipped through it. And the girls wouldn't be that far off if that's what they think of me."

Jack snickered at Larry's little joke.

"They are probably planning how to get you into a straight jacket right now." Jack laughed. "Way to go, pal. That was a good one."

"Yeah, it was wasn't it?" Larry agreed with him, sighing happily. "Well, I guess I should go tell them the truth."

Larry pushed himself off of the sofa and started for the kitchen when a noise stopped him in midstride.

"Kids?" Furley's voice sounded from outside of the apartment as he knocked on the trio's door. "It's me. I came to fix that leaking pipe under the sink."

Jack and Larry locked gazes, smirking at each other as their inner children came out. After a few seconds, they raced over to the door together in order to let Furley in. It was still going to be April Fools Day for the next ten hours and Jack and Larry had every intention of enjoying it.

THE END

A/N: Happy (early) April Fools! XD
