A/N: So the story is ending. Good bye forever.

...

And that's pretty much as much dedication I'm willing to put into pranking you guys.

April Fool's Day! It's not the last chapter (hopefully) because I love this story too much. Idk if you guys do, but I do. And that's what matters, right? Eh.

Anyways, today's chapter is just going to be a bunch of super-short stories -about a couple paragraph each- of various pranks that the Smashers pulled on each other today! Oh, and some of these pranks may or may not be rated E, per se. I haven't decided yet. But still, to the chapter!

Feeling Blue?

Mario was walking down the street, feeling quite paranoid. Today was April Fool's day, and Mario had already been pranked twice , when Luigi replaced his chocolate bar with a friend goomba foot. The other prank will be saved for later in the story.

Mario, himself, had participated in a prank or two already, and it was barely ten. Today was survival of the fittest, and nobody was more fit than Super Mario! At least, that's what he told himself. As he rounded the corner, he felt his foot touch a tripwire. Smirking, he stopped his foot and stepped over it, triggering a pressure plate hidden on the ground.

Instantly, hundreds of gallons of blue paint poured onto his head. Mario stumbled backwards, stunned, when he felt someone pull him down onto the ground. They took off his shoes and put new ones on him, and then they put something on his head.

When Mario was finally able to recover and wipe the paint from his eyes, he saw (you guessed it) Sonic the Hedgehog, doubled over in laughter.

"I think you look good this way!" Sonic said, holding up a mirror. Mario gasped when he saw a bad Sonic cosplayer looking back at him. Branches were stuck to his head in an attempt to be Sonic's spiked, and he had on cardboard shoes the size of TV's. Sonic quickly took a picture, and ran away from Mario, who was currently unleashing a storm of fire. Sonic knew that Mario was gonna destroy him later, but he didn't care. It was all worth it.

The Fake-Out

Today was a special day for Marth. His wife, Shiida, had just arrived at Smash-City, and they were currently catching up on life at the park.

Marth's friends, being the awesome friends that they are, did not tell him about April Fool's day until they got him hard two years ago. However, they had told Shiida about it her first time here, and she had something special planned as a result.

They were sitting on a yellow bench that Villager had funded near the lake. Shiida specifically asked him to put it in this exact spot just for today.

"Hey, Shiida..." Marth chuckled. "You actually came on a very dangerous day."

"Oh? Why?" Shiida asked.

"Today is a day of war! With our own brethren! Today we conquer or be conquered. It is the yearly Prank Day!" Marth yelled. He stood up in a very anime-style. "Take my hand. Together, we will defeat the nefarious Ike and the Dastardly Duo of Robin and Robina!"

"You take this way too seriously..." Shiida said. "And... You're too trusting." She blew the whistle, signaling Ike to run up to Marth. He bounded out of a nearby bush and pushed Marth with all his strength, sending him deep into the lake.

"Yeah! We got him!" Shiida yelled, high-fiving Ike.

"Yea, we did alright. Pretty good for your first prank." Ike said, "Hey, you should check how Marth's doing so you can mock him."

Shiida waded over to Marth, who was currently sitting in the lake, staring off into the distance. Shiida noticed something odd about him.

"Uh... Marth? You okay?" She asked, tapping the top of his head.

Marth snapped his head in her direction. "...who are you?" He asked. "Who am I?" Standing up, he looked around. "What is this place?"

Shiida gasped. "Oh no! He got amnesia!" She turned back to Marth, and started slapping him. "Remember, Marth! Remember!" More slapping.

"Ow! Ow! Ok! I remember!" Marth said, cowering under his wife's wrath. "Jeez."

Shiida laughed, and slapped him one more time. "Don't try to trick me again."

"How'd you know I was acting? I'm a great actor!" Marth asked.

"I'm your wife! I can read you like a book. Plus, Ike told me about your plan to turn your prank against me."

Marth glared at the swordsman, who was doubled over in laughter. "He was a triple agent..."

Marth would later actually develop amnesia and would spend the rest of his days as a crazy hobo trying to sell his idea of inflatable underwear...

Not really. But really.

The Switcheroo

Today was Fox's happy day. He was chatting with the rest of the crew on his ship's intercom. He had to be in the landmaster, however, to access it.

"Hey, what's your greatest embarrassment?" Slippy the Frog asked.

"Well... It's kinda embarrassing..." Fox said, scratching his head. "I dunno if I wanna tell you guys."

"Aw, come on!" Falco pouted. "We're your best friends! You can tell us!"

"Yeah, Fox! Tell us!" Krystal urged him on.

They started chanting "Tell us!" and Fox eventually gave in.

"Alright, alright! Jeez." Clearing his throat, he continued. "One time, when I was training, I forgot to use the bathroom. When an emergency situation pooped- I mean, popped up, I still hadn't emptied the tanks. So, I sorta..." He stuttered at this moment. None of his friends had laughed at him yet, which reassured him. "I peed right on the ship's chair."

"..." Falco, Slippy, and Krystal were all silent. Then... The images of Slippy and Krystal faded out, and were replaced with the howling Wolf.

"Wolf?" Fox gasped.

"I see my holograms did the trick!" Wolf said. "Creating holograms of your own friends was a genius idea! Now I know your deepest, darkest, secret!"

"No!" Fox said. At a second glance at the minister screen, Fox noticed that Falco's image was still intact, and it was laughing. "Wait... You're not a hologram, Falco?"

"Nope!" The avian said. "April Fool's Day!" With that, all connection died out, and everyone knew about his secret within the hour.

He died. Of embarrassment.

Peach Pregnancy

"Mario! I'm pregnant!" Peach yelled, running into Mario's room.

Mario looked at her large stomach, and furrowed his brow. Then, he punched her stomach, making her scream, and causing a popping sound to be made.

"No you're not." Mario said as the balloon underneath Peach's shirt popped. He then went back to reading his magazine.

Let's Get Fit!

"You sure this will make me irresistible to the ladies?" Mario's rival, Wario, asked. "My suit's really uncomfortable." He was wearing a skin tight shiny plastic suit that hugged his butt.

"Of course! Just walk around town, doing the Gang Dam (for copyright purposes, I decided to change the name) Style dance with that suit on, yelling 'I Love Large Bananas!' The girls will be all over you in a second!" Wii Fit Trainer said. I don't have a name for the male and female trainer yet.

"And, because of all the training you've been doing, like mopping my kitchen floor, cleaning my car, and digging a moat around my house, you're in the best shape of your life!"

"Alright! Thanks, Wii Fit Trainer! I owe you big time!" Wario said. He then went on to Gang Dam Style down the street.

I'll let you guys imagine what happened from there.

Wake-Up Wash-Up

Early in the morning, the LoZ household was stirring. In Toon Link's room, he was preparing all of his pranks for the day. Fart bombs, check. Whoopie cushions, check. Video camera, check.

As he was going through his checklist, he heard a sloshing sound just outside his room. Opening the door, he found Lucina and Zelda, carrying a gigantic bucket of soapy liquid into Link's room.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Toon Link called. While Link was awake, he usually had a good attitude about being pranked. But if you were to get him while he slept, you were going to feel his wrath. Sleep was what Link lived for.

But it was too late. They had already entered.

Toon Link realized what was going to happen, and grabbed his camera. He opened the door, to find a semi-soapy Link, eyes red, pouring the soapy liquid all over Zelda and Lucina. He laughed maniacally while doing so. Toon Link was pretty sure that he the two people on the ground were already unconscious. He probably whacked them with his pillow.

Toon Link took turned on his camera and started filming.

Then, Link turned his eyes in Toon Link's direction. When he saw Toon Link, he threw the bucket at him, screaming "Sup, boi?"

The remaining water got over the camera, causing it to explode. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" Toon Link yelled. He fainted with the grief of losing his camera.

Link finally calmed down, and looked at the mess around him. Three people, knocked out in his room, water everywhere... It was the typical April Fool's morning.

Link had an idea. He dried them off of the soapy liquid, and put the three of them back in their rooms. Then he cleaned up his room, and went back to sleep.

An hour or two later, Zelda woke up. She rubbed her head, recalling all that had just happened.

"Was that a dream?" She asked herself. She was scared to find out. Getting up, she got herself dressed, and found herself struggling to open her door. What if there he's waiting for me right outside this door, with a terrible prank? She thought.

Eventually, she opened the door, and found nothing. She went downstairs, and found Lucina and Toon Link, talking about the events that unfolded earlier today.

"Do you remember it?" Too Link asked Zelda. She nodded.

"I knew it!" Lucina cried. "It did happen! He's gonna get us! He's gonna get us!" Link is known for his legendary pranks. Well, he's known for a lot of things, but this is one of them. Once, he even managed to evaporate the whole Smash-Lake overnight as a prank.

The three of them spent the rest of their day with paranoia. But, no pranks came. In fact, none of them even saw Link until dinner.

He was the last to arrive at the table. "Hey." He said, causing them all to jump.

"Oh! L-Link!" Zelda chattered. "Um... Hello."

Link pretended that nothing had happened. "So, how's everyone doing? I hope you all enjoyed your April Fool's days!" He said.

"Um... Yeah. It was... fantastic." Lucina nervously chuckled. She took a sip of tea, shaking.

"Well, I'm beat. I'm gonna hit the hay." Link clapped his hands, getting up from the table. "Oh, and one last thing..." He rushed up until his face was quite close Lucina's.

"I played you..." His face was as hard as steel and his voice as gruff as Batman's. Inside, though, he was laughing his head off. He then rushed forward and looked at Zelda's eyes. "That thing this morning, it did happen. And I remembered it... But I waited. I let your paranoia destroy you yourself." Then he came up to Toon Link and gave him his most Batman face that he could give. "Don't. Ever. Do. That. Again."

Silence. After a few seconds, Link couldn't hold it in anymore, and started laughing. "Gotcha!"

The three of them looked at him in confusion. "What?"

"I'm not mad at you guys! But I let you guys think that to set up an amazing prank!" Link laughed.

"So... Does that mean you're not gonna get revenge on us anymore?" Lucina asked.

"Oh, no. I'm definitely gonna inflict some physical pain on you guys in the form of a prank." Link said. "You might not wanna sleep in your beds tonight." His three friends gulped and started the whimper. With that, he walked over to the door. "See ya at the Prank Wars!" He slammed the door, still laughing.

Money, Money, Money

Around noon, Wario was at the Smash-Market, buying some garlic. The Smash-Market, or as I will call it from now on so I don't have to type as much, the market, was a large marketplace where people can buy food, get their fortunes told by Viridi, and other cool stuff that I will get into in later chapters. Residents and Smashers can rent out space to sell their own wares.

After purchasing fifty bags of garlic, and eating half of them, he started to head home, when a shiny object on the ground caught his eye. Upon closer inspection, he found out that it was a golden rupee, just sitting there, ripe for the taking!

"Awwwwww yeeeee! With this, I'll be able to buy twenty goo muffins from Beedle!" Wario laughed. He knelt down to pick it up, but right when he was about to grab it, it hopped away from him. "Hey!" He went to grab it again, but it hopped away, again. Then, it started to slide away from him.

"Come back here!" He started running after it. In his chase, he tackled seventeen goombas, smashed fifteen koopas, trashed twenty market stalls, and caused an explosion in the opposite side of the the city.

And now you're going back to the previous sentence to see the second "the."

Anyways, the rupee finally stopped in front of a certain King's shop. Wario rounded the corner and found the rupee in the hands of Bowser. In Bowser's other hand, there was a piece of string, which was attached to the rupee.

"Oh! Well, hello there, Wario." Bowser said slyly.

"Hey! Hands off! That's mine!" Wario yelled.

"Oh, don't worry. You'll get this. When you try one of my... Patented Organic Overpriced Pancakes! Or, P.O.O.P, for short!" Bowser took out a plate of pure black pancakes, with Bowser's face engraved on them.

"Uh, ok!" Wario took a handful of P.O.O.P, and stuck it in his mouth. "Hey, this ain't half-" that's when the lava berries kicked in. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" He ran around the market, twice, with his mouth of fire. He found the nearest source of liquid, a red tea that Peach had been drinking, and stuffed in in his mouth.

"Hey! My fire tea!" Peach yelled. Wario's mouth grew even more hot, and his whole body even caught fire. He ran back to Bowser's shop, where he had been recording the whole time.

He found a nearby toilet and plunged his head in. "Aaahh!" He gasped, releasing his head from the toilet. "That was gooooooooood!" He walked back to Bowser's shop.

"Well, I tried it. Not half bad." Wario said, rubbing his tongue. "Can I have my rupee now?"

Bowser laughed. "Sure, pal. Here." He dropped it in Wario's gloved hand. "Don't spend it all in one place!"

"Hash! I did it!" Wario ran into Beedle's shop. "Twenty goo-stuffed muffins, please!" He slammed the rupee on the counter.

"Thank youuuuu!" Beadle said. He picked up the rupee, then paused. He looked at the rupee with curiosity. He sniffed it, examined it, rubbed it on his butt. Then he took a glass of water and spilled it on the rupee.

The golden paint on the rupee washed off, revealing the black rupee underneath!

"This is a rupoor!" Beadle yelled. "Now you owe me ten rupees!" He held out his hand. "Thank youuuuuu (In advance)!"

Wario started with disbelief at the black rupee on the table. What a fool he was! He felt his pockets, and found nothing. There was only one way out. He swallowed the rest of his garlic, and tooted with everything he got.

Let's just say, the mayor may need to get some Smashers on repair duty.

The Final Prank

As dawn neared, and midnight approached, all the residents of Smash-City gathered in the park. The Prank War was going to begin. The Prank Wars happened at the end of every April Fool's Day, between three teams. The teams were assigned at the beginning of the day, and it was basically a war to be the last team standing.

Everywhere, there were weapons of mass pranking: pies, water balloons, straws for spit wading, etc. the rule was that if you were hit with one of those, you had to fall to the ground, and stay down, no matter what position you were at. The last team standing was declared the prank champions.

This year, the teams were chosen by Pit, Diddy Kong, and Toon Link, who were to play the roles of team leaders. If the team leaders got out, the team was automatically out.

I don't have the organization to list the full teams, but I can give you an overall view: Pit is leader of the more realistic humans, Toon Link the more cartoony characters, and Diddy Kong the non-humans.

The teams took their places in three different sections of the park, within a pie throw's distance from one another, and waited in anticipation. The gigantic flower watch at the center of the park was almost at 12:00 midnight, at which point the clock would strike twelve times. The twelfth strike would signal the start of the war.

Suddenly, the clock let out a huge ding. Five seconds later, another one. The fighters readied their pie artillery and other weapons. Every ding brought new shivers and pumped the smashers up even more.

Finally, the twelfth ding was let out, but it was soon drowned out when the sound of "Charge!" and "Fire!" were made.

Pit's and Diddy's army ran for each other straight away, while Toon Link sent waves of Pie Artillery Bombs towards them.

Thousands fell instantly from the heavy attack.

"Ike! Take Squad A and push Towards Toon Link's army!" Pit yelled, while hitting Lucario with a pie.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this." Ness said to Toon Link when he saw Ike leading a good number of shy guys towards him. "Goomba Block A! Form ranks!" The goombas formed a giant wall around Ness's pie cannons, protecting it while hiding it from view. "Forward!" They marched forward. The goombas were battered with pie, but the cannons were untouched.

Finally, when Ness could see the whites of Ike's eyes, he yelled "Fire!" The cannons unloaded all that they could, destroying all that was left of the wall, but completely demolishing Ike's forces.

"Retreat!" Ike yelled, but he was the only one left. He didn't even have a chance to yell before being buried under hundreds of pounds of pie.

"Ike!" Pit saw the whole thing unfold. "Marth! Get those cannons while they're still weak!"

"Sure thing!" Marth yelled. While Marth marched off to the right, Pit focused his attention to the left. Diddy Kong was pushing their army back. It was not going to be long until Pit was under fire. "Link! Head over to the left flank!" No answer. "Link! Where are you?" Pit looked on helplessly as Marth was surrounded, and ultimately pied. "It's over for us..." Suddenly, he got a text from Link. Don't give up! I have a plan! Focus all your energy on Diddy. Text me when you get into his camp.. This text have Pit a glitter of hope, and he went into battle himself to push back Diddy's army.

Meanwhile, a silent assassin crept in the shadows. His blowdart that shot paper wads proves a silent, but deadly weapon. Climbing the trees, he looked for his target. Upon finding the princess and the night,

He jumped from his branch and stuffed the pies into their faces.

"Shh... Sleep silently..." Link said as Zelda and Lucina fell to the ground.

"Gosh dang it!" Lucina whispered as he left to find Toon Link before his team was destroyed.

"Alright! Well that's two people on my hit list down... The other's gonna be a bit tricky..." Link said. He examined the battlefield from the sidelines. Toon Link was still safely secured in the very center of his army. "Well, I guess I'll have to go under!" He took out his digging gloves, and started digging.

Meanwhile, Fox was going hard at it against Falco and Wolf. They were originally on the same teams but Fox requested to be switched to Pit's group so he could take them on.

"Remove my secret from the Internet!" Fox yelled, sending another barrage of smoke bombs towards Wolf and Falco's squad.

"Never!" Wolf howled. He rushed forward, and engaged Fox in pool-noodle combat.

Fox readied his whoopee cushion shield and barely managed to block Wolf's assault. He took out his spit wad shooter and aimed at the enemy. But, Wolf used a nearby goomba as a shield.

Falco was soon by Wolf's side.

"You can't beat the both of us!" Falco said in triumph.

"Watch me!" Fox yelled. But, in his heat he knew that Falco was right. He couldn't beat them both in a physical contest. Fox then had an idea.

"Falco, you wouldn't want your greatest secret getting out would you?" Fox asked.

Falco froze. "What? You know my secret?"

"Oh yeah! And the one who to me was Wolf."

Falco spun around to face Wolf. "Seriously? How'd you even find out my biggest secret?"

"I don't know your secret! Honest!" Wolf growled.

"Liar!" Falco yelled. He took a pie and nailed Wolf right in the face. During the confusion, Fox snuck behind Falco. He grabbed Falco from behind and held a pie close to his face.

"Looks like I won, Falco. Again." Fox said.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that..." Falco nudged his head behind Fox. Fox looked behind him too see Falco's whole squad aiming whoopie cuckoo a and pies at him.

"Heh. Clever bird..." Fox said. He stuffed the pie into Falco's face while he was simultaneously pelted by pies. They fell to the ground, and all was silent. Well, besides the sound of Falco and Fox eating pies on the ground.

Back in Toon Link's army, Toon Link was busy laughing at his own deviousness. He knew that Link would try to get him, and he was terrified of the thought, so he made a secret pact with Diddy Kong to go for Pit's team first.

Once Pit's army was gone, Toon Link would unleash a barrage on pie cannons that were always at the ready on Diddy's team. It should be able to completely destroy their army in an instant. Little did he know that Diddy had the same plan...

"Ness! You're back!" Toon Link said as Ness walked back to him triumphantly.

"Yes, I am! And I have good news! Generals Marth and Ike were taken out."

"Good. And Link?"

"Um... We have had no visual on Link the whole battle." Ness reported. "But I wouldn't worry about it. We're sure to have them surrounded within five minutes."

Toon Link knew he shouldn't worry, but he did. After all, Toon Link was basically a different version of himself, and Toon Link was the awesomest person that he knew!

Anyways, Pit was on fire! His appearance in the battle boosted morale of his whole army, and in a few minutes, he managed to come tell turn the tide of the battle against Diddy. Soon, the home base where Diddy was in was within sight.

"Don't lose hope! Strength, brothers! To victory!" Pit yelled. His army yelled with him, throwing pies and smoke grenades in hundreds of numbers.

That's when the cannons fired. Twenty pies about five times the size of Bowser all left the base camp of Diddy at once. Ten were aimed in the direction of Toon Link's camp, and ten were aimed right above the camp! That was Diddy's master plan; he had enough to wipe out both his and Toon Link's army (Pit's base was just out of reach) in one swoop. And now that Pit was trapped in the camp, all of the teams would lose!

"Uh oh." Pit said as he watched the pies fall down, slowly.

Meanwhile, Link was busy digging through the floor. He made a blind guess and dug up, only to find him face to face with a koopa taking a dump. Needless to say, he kept digging.

After several failed attempts, he finally dug into Toon Link's small tent, right behind Toon Link's back.

"Gotcha!" Link screamed, throwing a pie at Toon Link. When the pie connected, Toon Link's head fell off! Link screamed in terror, then realized that it was a dummy of Toon Link.

"Wait... Where's the real Toon Link...?" Link gulped.

"Look behind you."

Link spun around to see Toon Link, who had several soldiers with him. All of them held pies aimed right at Link's face. "Clever boy..." Link murmured. Then he felt a vibration in his pockets He smirked. "Good job, Toon Link. You finally outsmarted me."

Toon Link smiled. "I learn from the best!" Then he remembered that they were enemies at war, and he frowned again.

"How'd you know I was coming?" Link asked, still half into the hole. Hah.

"Well, a little bird told me..." Toon Link said. Then he leaned in and whispered to Link. "And by bird, I mean koopa."

"Curses! Kenny! I knew it!" Link cursed. Kenny was the koopa he dug in on having a dump. How Link found out his name is beyond me.

"Well, anyways... Prepare to die, er, I mean, pie!" Toon Link readied his barrage of pie. "Peach pie. Saved it just for you..."

Why did it have to be peach? Link thought.

"Wait!" Link said. Just a little longer! "Don't I have a right to some last words?"

"What!"

"Y'know, one last message that a criminal makes before being brutally executed?" Link said.

"Oh, yeah!" Toon Link's face lit up. The. He cleared his throat. "Got any last words?"

Link strained his ears, and heard the pies coming down. Only seconds before they hit the camp. "Actually, the bad guys are the ones who say that phrase. And the bad guys..." Link put on his shades. "Always lose." Link went right back into the hole right as the pies hit the tent, completely soaking everyone in the camp with cherry pie. Screams roared throughout the camp, and were suddenly silenced (because they remembered that they couldn't speak while pies).

It was over. All the leaders had been wiped out in a single barrage, and not a single person had escaped being pied. With the exception on one.

Link made his way back underground to the center of the park. When he popped his head back out, he was greeted with Toon Link, Lucina, and Zelda. All the other smashers were there, too.

"Oh! It looks like Link's back!" Lucina said.

"Oh yeah! Let's give him his victory reward!" Toon Link said. All the smashers took out a pie and aimed it right at Link.

"Gulp." Link said. He tried to go back into his home, but found himself face to face with Pit. Pit pushed him out of the hole, blocking his only way of escape.

"Aw, cmon, Pit! You're my leader in this war!" Link cried.

"Well, the war's over." Pit smirked.

"Shall we?" Zelda asked.

"Wait!" Link yelled. "Can I have some last words?"

Those were his last words as he was pied to oblivion.
