OO -prologue- OO

Butch snickered as he waited inside his counterpart's locker. It was the perfect place to catch her off-guard and scare her silly.

Butch tried to contain his laughter when he picked up the sounds of said girl's footsteps coming closer with his superhearing.

The Ruff had to hold a hand over his mouth to muffle his snickers as he counted down.

3...he could feel Buttercup putting in her combination on the lock...2...the locker was going to open any second now...1-

"April Fools, Butterbabe!" he hollered, jumping out as the door opened.

Buttercup yelped as she jumped up. All the textbooks that were in her hand clattered to the floor. "What the HELL!?" she screeched as an English Literature textbook fell on Butch's foot.

He yelped out in pain.

"Ow!" he cried, hopping on one leg.

Buttercup glared darkly at him. "Butch?! YOU? I swear, you'll pay for that! Come back here, you moron!" she shouted as the Ruff made a run for it.

"Good time to run," he muttered before taking off at full speed.

Buttercup was right on his tail as Butch finally let out all the laughter he'd been bottling up, angering the Puff even more.

"How the Hell did you get into my locker?!" she shrieked.

"I know your combination, duh," Butch responded, grinning when she crashed after he flew around her to sidetrack her.

"Oof! Hey!" she growled, "You do know you're not getting away with that, right? Because newsflash, YOU'RE NOT!"

"Really?" Butch danced, enjoying how easily he was able to provoke her, "Also, you of all people know It's not nice to yell at someone. Now what type of role model would that be?"

Buttercup roared as she peeled herself out of the wall. "BUTCH!" she yelled.

Said Ruff only snickered, giving a two-finger salute before disappearing behind a door into one of the many classrooms that lined the halls.

"Can't be late to class, now can we?" he called before shutting the door in her face.

Buttercup fumed. "You just wait 'till school's out," she threatened darkly as she stomped off, "Then you'll have it. April Fools, huh? I'll SHOW you April Fools."
