You'd think I would've but oh no!

I had walked out to the bus, still a little drowsy from my sleep.

"You're aware that what you did is not acceptable." said the coach.

I nodded.

"You should be punished but you don't know any better." he said again.

I nodded.

"I will not take anything out of your pay as punishment, but next time you will get 50 bells taken off. You understand?" he asked.

I nodded yet again as I walked into the McDonalds with a droopy smirk on my face. I sat down at the booth I had been sitting at before, and shook off the guys with my hand as they started to speak. I took my money up off the table and got back up to go and order.

"Hi, Id like a number 9 meal (Sausage, Egg, and Cheese McGriddle with a coffee and hash browns) please?" I asked as I took out 3 bells. The Crew Member walked back into the kitchen area to prepare my meal as I noticed a newspaper. I picked it up and paid for the paper, too. I threw away the rest of it and kept the Sports Section. My food was ready so I grabbed the tray and placed the paper on it as I walked to our booth.

I set the tray down as I plopped myself down staring the sports page. On the front it said: Rookie Phenom Bob Cat Traded to Washington Cherry Pickers.

"What's wrong?" asked Chuck.

I turned the paper around so the guys could see it. As I did Butch let out a little chuckle then his eyes were fixed on the headline and his smile turned to a dead grin.

"Th-Thats impossible..." stuttered Butch in shock.

"I'm going to talk to coach about this." I said as I stormed out of the booth and towards the bus. Before I even got there I started to talk.

"Sir, what is this about!?" I yelled.

"Cat, it's not what it seems." he replied.

"What!?! What're you talking about!?! I'VE BEEN TRADED!!!!" I yelled again.

"Cat."

"Yes sir." I panted, trying to keep myself calm.

"Turn around."

"Sir?"

"Just do it."

"Yes sir..."

I slowly turned around and the entire team was standing there.

"APRIL FOOLS!!!!" They yelled in unison.

"What the...?" I exclaimed. "What?"

"It's April First!" said Cyrano Komodo.

"Yeah, April Fools Day?" replied Claude Jefferson.

"I know the holiday... but its March 24th..." I said.

The whole team blushed in shock.

"April Fools!" I yelled!

They all laughed again as they went inside.

I turned to coach, "It really is March 24th."

Then I went back inside to join my friends for breakfast.
