As the next morning rose, Jedi were waking up to get ready to start the day.
Anakin was one of the first to wake up. With the Council still adjusting with their horses, he and some of the family were staying at the Temple for a few days.
Anakin rubbed his eyes and yawned as Sapphire was also waking up on her horse size pillow.
"Morning, Sapphire." Anakin said.
"Good morning." Sapphire said, stretching out her wings and her back.
Anakin got out of bed and was about to get into his slippers, when he felt something slimy on his feet.
"Eww!" Anakin groaned.
And then he found someone had put grape jelly in his slippers.
Sapphire whinnied when she looked at her hooves. Someone had painted them green.
"Someone's painted my hooves!" Sapphire exclaimed.
Anakin got a towel to wipe the jelly off his feet and decided to just put his boots on, but found them to filled with jelly too!
"Oh, come on!" Anakin groaned in disgust. "This is so gross!"
Estrella and Omega woke up too and found a sweet treat by their beds with a note that said, Enjoy these special caramel apples.
"Look, Estrella." Omega smiled. "Someone left us caramel apples."
"How nice of whoever it was." Estrella said, picking one up with her magic.
Except, when they took a bite, the caramel 'apples' tasted terrible! And it turned out they were special alright, because they weren't even apples at all. They were onions covered in caramel.
"Yuck!" Omega coughed. "I hate raw onions."
"What a dirty trick." Estrella groaned, angrily throwing the onion to the floor.
Citrus got Master Plo out of bed, as he was ready to be fed his favorite breakfast. Oatmeal muffins with marmalade.
"Patience now, Citrus." Plo said, getting the plate for Citrus' breakfast. "You'll get your breakfast."
Plo served Citrus his food on the plate he placed on the table and gave him a good petting.
"Thanks, Plo." Citrus said, licking his rider before digging into his breakfast.
Except shortly after Citrus ate his breakfast, he started panting and screaming in pain.
"HOT! HOT! HOT!" Citrus screamed, running around and whinnying like crazy.
Plo did his best to calm his horse down, but not before Citrus kicked some other people's plates off the table and some chairs. Luckily, he managed to find a carton of milk and pour it into a bowl for Citrus to drink.
And citrus wasted no time licking up the milk to cool his tongue.
"Are you alright?" Plo asked, patting the side of Citrus' neck.
"I'm fine, thanks." Citrus said. "What did you do to the marmalade?"
"Nothing. I don't think." said Plo, checking Citrus' food. And to his surprise, someone sprinkled jalapeno pepper flakes into the marmalade. "That explains the surprise spice."
Citrus scrunched his nose and had a theory.
"Why do I get the feeling I know who's behind this?" He said more as a statement than a question.
Later, Grassi snorted and began laughing when she got a glimpse of Master Fisto's face when he came to brush her mane.
But when Kit looked in the mirror, he was shocked to find someone had drawn a handlebar mustache on him with black marker.
Meanwhile, Kit's girlfriend Aayla Secura found someone had covered her bedroom in streamers. She was even wrapped in some like a mummy.
Aayla groaned and grunted as she had to wiggle out of the streamers and pull so many out of the way just to get out of bed.
Yoda opened a door and then was drenched in cold water, and he screamed like a little girl. And he heard someone laughing and whinnying.
"Comedia, you was that?" Yoda said.
"Gotcha!" Comedia guffawed, running away.
"It that is!" Yoda said angrily.
And he decided to call an emergency meeting, and that was also when someone else was screaming.
"That sounded like Grandpa screaming." Gabby said, coming by.
The Jedi Council gathered in the Chambers for the emergency meeting. But many members of the council and their horses looked different.
Zipp had whipped cream on her muzzle, Eeth's mouth turned blue from something he'd eaten, Shaak's boots squeaked every time she walked, and Master Tinn was still picking feathers from his robes.
Obi-Wan sat down. Fart!
"Ahh!" Obi-Wan jumped up and found another whoopee cushion under his chair cushion, prompting everyone else to look under theirs just in case.
"My chair's prank free." Anakin said, carefully sitting down.
Carmine came in too with Lamenta. Except, Carmine wasn't wearing his glasses and Lamenta couldn't stop burping.
Burp!
"Lamenta Jinn!" Obi-Wan scolded.
"Excuse me." Lamenta blushed, burping again.
"Carmine, did you lose your glasses again?"
"No," said Carmine. "Someone took the lenses from my glasses and replaced them with kaleidoscope lenses, so I had to switch to my contact lenses."
Lamenta burped again.
"And why can't Lamenta stop burping?" Anakin asked.
"Someone put *burp* belch powder in my *burp* cereal this morning." Lamenta said, burping again.
"Luckily, the stuff only lasts an hour." Carmine said.
"Where are Gabby and Dad?" Anakin asked.
Boba came in and couldn't stop laughing. Neither could Remix.
"What's so funny?" Sapphire asked.
"Nothing's funny!" Boba guffawed. "Something's... tickling us!"
Remix rolled on the floor, laughing like crazy and Carmine checked them out.
"No wonder. By the look of it, I'd say a tickle spell was cast on your clothes." He said. "I once used that very prank on a kid who picked on me in dance class."
Remix used his magic to rip his shirt off, and sure enough, the tickles stopped. He sighed with relief.
"That's better." Remix breathed. Being a horse, it was no problem that he took off his shirt, but Boba needed Carmine to cast a reversal spell to make it stop for him.
And that was when Gabby came in with who the oldest twins assumed was Qui-Gon, but he kept a hood up.
"Dad, is that you under there?" Carmine asked.
"Yes." Qui-Gon said. He was also wearing gloves as though he wanted to hide every single bit of him.
"Dad, why are you hiding?" Anakin asked.
Qui-Gon said nothing and then pulled his hood down, revealing he was all blue underneath. From his hair to his skin.
Everyone gasped.
"Grandpa! What *burp* happened to *burp* you?!" Lamenta said.
"I took a shower after my morning workout, and someone apparently put blue dye in my shampoo and shower gel." Qui-Gon explained. "Now I'm blue from head to toe and I can't get it out."
"We've tried everything." Gabby said. "Soap and water, baby wipes, rubbing alcohol. Nothing works!"
Master Mundi felt so embarrassed.
"Oh, Comedia..." he groaned. "I thought giving her space to run would do her some good. But apparently it hasn't."
"Well, she's only been here one day, and already her pranks are getting out of control!" Shaak said.
"Yeah, she gave me and Estrella what we thought were caramel apples," said Omega. "But they turned out to be onions."
"Well, look at what she did to me and Carousella." Fiesta said, turning back, revealing her tail was tied in a big knot with Carousella's.
"This is not a prank." growled Carousella. "It's just mean."
"Hold still." Gabby said, looking at the knot, and finding just the right spot to pull.
One tug, and she got the two tails untied.
"Well, Comedia was at least smart enough to use a knot that could easily be undone."
"Where is she now?" Crescent asked.
"I don't know." said Ki-Adi. "I couldn't find her this morning.
"Well, then," said Mace trying to get up. "We'll just... have to..."
Mace grunted as he found he was stuck to his chair. Boba and Omega took his hands and started to pull him out. But no success.
"Wow, you're really stuck!" said Omega.
"Grandpa?" Boba said.
"I'm on it." Qui-Gon said, knowing what his grandson was about to ask.
Qui-Gon grabbed Windu's hands and easily pulled him out of the chair... but not without something remaining stuck.
The twins couldn't keep from laughing when they saw that a big piece of Mace's pants was torn off, exposing his underpants.
"Butterflies, Mace? Really?" Anakin laughed.
Mace was mortified at this. But Qui-Gon removed his jacket and tied it around Mace's waist.
"Thank you, King Qui-Gon." Mace said, relieved that he was covered now. "And Master Mundi, tell your horse she owes me a new pair of pants."
Mace left through the door to get to his room and change his clothes. Luckily, no one else was stuck to their seats.
"Looks like we'll have to find Comedia ourselves." said Anakin.
Gabby quickly climbed onto her father's lap, and she pressed the button so they could exit via slide.
The slides were super fun as usual... but when Gabby and Anakin got to where the ball pit should've been, instead of landing in a pool of balls, they landed in a pool of... something red, bubbly, and sticky.
Gabby splashed and spat.
"Is this... cherry soda?" Anakin said, having gotten a taste of what they'd landed in.
They could hear Comedia laughing again as they got out of the pool. And she ran off before they could catch her.
Anakin was about to contact the others and warn them not to take the slides down, but too late. Now everyone was wet and sticky and smelled like cherries.
"I wonder if soda will help wash this dye out of my skin." Qui-Gon wondered, squeezing the soda out of his shirt.
"We'd all better take baths and showers before Comedia pranks us again." Anakin said.
"But let's use bottles that haven't been opened yet." Gabby said. "We don't want anyone else getting dyed blue."
