Hmm, at this moment I have no idea what to write. I had an idea...but it went somewhere. So i can't
remember it. Gosh am i stupid. This blank page is a bit overwhelming. I better put the screen saver
on till i get an idea. I'll be back.
Well this is about 10 minutes later and still nothing. So i am writing whatever i want. Sorry if
you don't like it. I don't own these characters and I'm really drawing a blank here people. I have no
idea if i'm taking anyone's story, which i don't think i am and i've got to hustle to get this done
so it may be a little rushed. so sorry if it's really bad. i just didn't know what to do and i'm
out of ideas. i'm helpless. feeling like that little fly on that one movie..what was it? oh yeah,
the fly. duh i'm stupid. uh i'm getting weird. better get writing. Oh by the way, pretend this is
happening before Val and Tyler's little....encounter. lol


April Fools



Val sat down across from Jamie. The two had some last minute things to finish up at the EMS station.
It was March 31 and the next day was looming over the horizon. The group of friends always loved
playing jokes on each other. But usually, Val never had any really great ideas. That wasn't the
case for Jamie, except this year. He had no idea what to do. (Author's note: Sounds kinda like me
at times.) Val and Jamie mentally brainstormed, thinking, plotting and discarding ideas. Val and
Jamie sighed unhappily at the exact same moment.
"What's the matter, Val?" Jamie asked. It was probably something like Bath & Body Works was out of
her favorite body spray. Jamie cringed and scolded himself. He didn't like to be judged so he tried
not to judge others.
"It's tomorrow. Tradition says I HAVE to play a joke on someone but ideas are running a bit...dry."
Val complained. She thought Jamie actually looked sorry for her. She wondered why. He always had
the best practical jokes.
"Boy does that sound familiar. I'm drawing a major blank on tomorrow." Jamie sank down on the couch.
Val plopped down next to him.
"I just want to think of something everyone will remember. Ya know, very epic." Val smiled to herself.
"I'm hearing you. Something that no one ever saw coming." Jamie nodded.
"Yeah. Like one year on my favorite soap opera, Seedlings In The Wind, Brice and Jenny got together
and Brice was rich and powerful and Jenny was a nobody. I never could have predicted that. And then
when the twins came along..." Val looked at Jamie. He had a strange look on his face. Val couldn't
read into it. She figured she was boring him. "Sorry."
"No no no. That's it! It's perfect." Jamie cried. He jumped up and began pacing. He always paced
when he was excited. Val stared, perplexed.
"What?" Val asked. Jamie didn't appear to hear her.
"It could work. They'd never see it coming. And it would scare them to death." An evil smile played
on Jamie's lips. Val raised an eyebrow. Jamie kept his planning to...whatever it was. Val was begining
to get a little frustrated.
"JAMIE! What are you talking about?" Val cried. Her voice seemed to pull Jamie back from the drawing
board.
"Val, would you go out with me?" Jamie said with a totally straight face. Val swollowed her gum in
surprise.
"Uh...J-Jamie...."Val stuttered.
"No no! I'm not really asking you out. It could be our joke. We could work together and make our
friends think we were dating. Then, we'll invite Tyler and Caitie on a sort of double date with us
tomorrow night and tell them right then. It's perfect." Jamie explained. Val relaxed. Finally, she
could be part of the April Fools joke of the year.
"Definately. You tell all your friends we got together tonight and I'll tell all mine. By lunch at least,
everyone will know. It will work." Val and Jamie shook hands. So the plan was hatched.
