The Prank War
Growing up, you probably celebrated April Fools Day right? It was always a day to have a laugh and do dumb things for entertainment. Well, you've probably never heard of the spirit of April Fools Day; that's me- Olivia April Fools. I'm known as the one who will go to extremes to make myself, or someone else, laugh; especially on my holiday. I've done some pretty weird pranks in the past but, today, I am in search of the master of all pranks (next to myself of course) to do one of my classic, and not to mention entertaining, pranks. Who am I pranking? None other than the mischievous winter spirit, Jack Frost. Now, I know what you're probably thinking; him?! He'll come up with some sort of prank that'll tear you to pieces! You couldn't possibly be bold enough to prank him! That's what everyone who has suffered through his pranking wrath has said but no more! I will step out onto the battle field of paintballs and feathers and fight…with cats! Yes, I said it; cats! He will regret the day he ever tried to steal the title of ultimate prankster from me! I smiled evilly as I held my bottle of Ultimate Catnip in one hand and clear glue in the other one. This was gonna be good.
I could see him resting near the lake with his staff held close to his chest, like some sort of teddy bear. It almost made me wish I had a camera right now. I was silent as a feather, even with the snow underneath me. When I came up, he shifted a little and I froze (ha-ha…pun) until I was sure he was still fast asleep, then, twisting the glue cap, I lightly drizzled it all over his blue hoodie and pants. Next, I took my catnip and sprinkled it all over the glue, causing it to stick to him and, before he had a chance to wake up, I ran off, stifling giggles. Oh, I need to get a camera before he wakes up!
Jack:
I shifted as I woke up. I had the weirdest feeling that something was off. The snow around me felt soft and…furry? My eyes shot open and the first thing I saw was something ginger and fuzzy with bright green eyes staring just an inch away from my face. I yelped and got to my feet, only to see three or four more cats lying around me. As soon as I got up, half of them started rubbing against me and the other half decided my legs were some sort of scratching post.
"Hey!" I shouted, but the cats didn't seem to care and continued to sink their claws into me.
I looked down at my clothes and immediately regretted it. They were covered in what I could have estimated to be at least three pounds of cat fur. I looked like the smaller version of one of North's yetis, only the fur was multiple colors. A flash suddenly went off, to the side of me, and my head snapped in the direction of the light to see a girl. She had semi-long brown hair with bangs, bright pumpkin orange eyes, and freckles dotted across her cheeks. She wore a dark orange and red winter coat with blue jeans and looked to be eleven or twelve years old in mortal terms, which isn't far off from me since I'm fourteen. There was a belt around her waist with a pocket on each side like gun holders, only, instead of guns, she had two canisters of silly string, but, worst of all, she had a camera! I ran towards her and she darted off, giggling. When I heard more then two sets of feet running, I looked behind to see the cats were chasing me. I flew up into the air to lose them but, as I did, I lost sight of my attacker. I searched all around me but she was gone. Landing on my lake, I stared down at my clothes, trying to brush the fur off but it seemed like there was clear glue mixed in with it. I heard the giggling again and looked straight up to see the same girl hovering just above me; with my staff! I jumped to try and reach her but, without my staff, she was just a foot too high.
"Who are you? What do you want!?" I demanded.
"I simply came to reclaim my title as the ultimate prankster." She said smiling before lowering to my level.
"-You see, as the spirit of April Fools, I find it a little sad when someone else is considered a better prankster than me. So, Jack Frost, one…two…three…four, I declare a Prank War!" She shouted, flying away while throwing my staff at the other side of the lake, to give herself a head start should I choose to follow her.
I smiled. "Oh, it is on!"
Author's note: My friend challenged me to come up with some sort of prank that involved cats and use it in my one-shots and yes, the spirit of April Fools's weapons are two canisters of really sticky silly string. Thought it would be funny. Let me know how I did! Please Review!
