A/N: Happy April Fools! I think. . .

Just a chapter dedicated to pranks! (Not as if everyone else is posting the exact same thing . . . right?)

It was rushed, and written in about five minutes. Late at night. When I was tired. Please forgive any mistakes.

April the First

Jack may have been the spirit of winter, but April was a good time of year for him. Well, the first bit at least. He loved April Fools even more since he'd become a Guardian. Mostly because now he had someone to prank.

He went easy on them this year.

A bucket of ice water on the head for Bunny.

Sugar and Salt swapped in the kitchens for North.

A joke about having a cavity for Tooth.

And a bucket of glitter for Sandy.

Yeah, keep it simple.

At first the Guardians had no idea what was going on. Until they looked at their calendars. Or more specifically, North's calendar. They just kind of chuckled at first, finally realizing how stupid they'd been to ignore Jack's calls of "April Fools!"

Then they got down to business.

Their mission? Prank Jack.

"FROST!" An Australian accented voice yelled through the pole. Jack stifled a laugh as a half-frozen Pooka stomped through the doorway.

"Oh hey Kangaroo, long time no see."

"Oooh, you're going to wish that soon enough Frosty."

Then they were off, a rampaging Pooka and giggling winter spirit, racing through the halls. Yetis slipped on ice, elves got stomped on, and North came out of his office.

"Vhat is the meaning of this racket? I am trying to work!"

At that moment Bunny slammed into Jack, knocking him to the floor. As the two started to wrestle, North stepped toward them. He pulled them apart, rolling his eyes.

"Off it knock you two!"

The two blinked before correcting him in synchronization, "Knock it off."

"Is what I said, no? Stop fighting, the Pole cannot afford distractions!"

"Oh, and I can? I've got less than two weeks before the Easter rush starts! Then this gumby comes along and dumps water on me!"

Jack smirked, sliding his way out of the conversation that was on the fast track to becoming an argument, not noticing Bunny and North's own mischievous smiles as he left.

Confused was not a strong enough word for how Jack was feeling. Bemused, befuddled, perplexed, and mystified fit the bill. Random yetis and elves had started randomly hugging him as he walked down the halls. They would smile mysteriously before strolling off in another direction.

Jack shook his head, starting toward the sitting room where the Guardians meeting was being held. He walked in the door sideways, watching for yetis. He was bombarded by four hugs at once, and let out a very unmanly screech of protest. The others backed away, smirks on all their faces as Tooth held up a paper she'd retrieved from the back of Jack's hoodie.

"APRIL FOOLS!"

Jack looked at them all for a moment, and back at the sign which read "hug me!" He paused for another moment before bursting into sniggers.

"Ha, nice one guys, you really got me there."

All four of them looked so proud. Jack felt himself laughing uproariously on the inside. Okay, so it might be a sort of lame joke, but he'd let them off easy. After all, this was their first one.

Next year's April Fools promised to be very interesting.

A/N: Argh, so short.
