The prank

So random held an annual barbeque every summer, they welcomed all cast members and staff to eat free food. And every year so far Chad holds an annual prank during this Barbeque. Last year Chad replaced the white bread with brown bread.

"Oh yesss." Chad chuckled as he replaced the ketchup bottle with mustard and the mustard bottle with mayonnaise. The prank was there was no ketchup. He took a few steps back admiring his work; he then went to hide in the bushes. Not long after the So Random gang began cooking the meat on the barbeque. Sonny laid out the forks, spoons and knives, while Grady began unwrapping the meat and placing it on the stove. The staff began hanging around, waiting for the first batch of cooked meat to be served, Chad sat in anticipation for someone to use the sauce bottles. After ten minutes, Grady served the first batch of meat. Everyone scrambled to grab a plate, after seconds the plate Grady served was empty. Nico managed to grab a plate first, he was also first to use the ketchup. He pointed his sauce bottle in between his hotdog buns not seeing the contents inside the bottle enter his food. Chad held his breath, his grin tightening across his face. Nico took a bite, then another. Chad was about to jump out the bushes when suddenly Nico began choking. His choking and spluttering grew, unable to catch his breath, Nico collapsed. The crowd of people also began choking and spluttering, also falling to the ground. Chad watched horrified as every single person who added ketchup (secretly mustard) dropped dead before him. Everyone added the ketchup to their food, except Grady who missed a chance to eat. He looked down at the piles of dead bodies, and then threw up on the barbeque. How did this happen? Chad looked down on the empty mustard bottle, was they all severely allergic to mustard? Chad looked closer to the bottle. The used by date was 1912. Chad dropped the bottle his jaw dropping further and further down, he popped his head out of the bushes again.

Grady was now sobbing, hugging the lifeless body of his best friend, Nico.

Chad shook his head, technically Grady killed them, he gave them the food and it was his idea for them to have a barbeque every year. If there was no barbeque, Chad wouldn't have pulled this prank in the first place. Suddenly relaxed he emerged from the bushes, "Grady…" he whispered, Grady's head shot up, his pink face was streaked with tears and snot. "What have you done, Grady?"

Grady whimpered, "I was just cooking hotdogs... Oh god… They were undercooked… I killed them all!"

Chad kneeled down, placing a hand on Grady's shoulder, "Yes. It is your fault."

"I'm gonna be locked away. Oh Chad, I can't go to jail!" Grady sobbed harder, Chad squeezed his shoulder.

"You can always runaway." He said gently, "Runaway and never return."

"I can't." Grady muttered, "I'm famous, people would recognize me."

"You're not that famous." Snapped Chad, Grady winced, pulling himself away.

"There's only one other way. Wipe away the evidence." Grady said darkly, pushing himself up, "And you're gonna help me."

Chad nodded stiffly, standing up next to him.

It took an hour for people to realise the two boys dragging bodies around the studios and they were both arrested. Chad was let go on bail, claiming he was forced to participate while Grady was sentenced for life in prison.
