The Best Laid Out Plans 3: An April Fools Trilogy

by Bysen

Again, still not technically set in April

“Mom?” Twilight asked as she walked into the living room. She’d grown a lot in the last three years since she’d hit her growth spurt. But most noticeable of it were her new glasses. They were only temporary though and with them her eyes should correct themselves within the year. She’d gone from a young girl to an awkward, lanky teen… the miracles of puberty. “I need to take a week off of school. Is that alright with you?”

Velvet, Twilight’s mother, was taken aback by the question. Twilight loved school so to ask to take a week off, it must’ve been a serious issue. “What’s wrong Sweetie, why don’t you want to go?” True, she had enjoyed her time at Crystal Prep less since Cadence and her brother had graduated, Cadence going off to college and Shining enlisting in the army, but she never seemed to dislike it at all.

“It’s not that I don't want to, but I’ve been working on a plan to prank Shining and I...”

“Wasn’t it you who yelled at the three of them to stop pulling pranks when you, Cadence and Chrysalis tried to prank Shining but got pranked in turn when Chrysalis faked her death and made you think Shining Armour murdered her, in revenge for when you three tried to prank him the year before that but Chrysalis told him about it and he turned it back on you but left her in a room with you and Cadence afterwards and you taped her to a flagpole leading to her abduction by that weird fluffy pink girl who gasped alot?”

“That was a really long run on sentence. And slightly confusing from a chronological sense.” Twilight replied. “But yes, that about covers the history of our pranks. Although it was a phone pole, not a flagpole and the girl's named Fluffle Puff. They're friends now so it all worked out.” she clarified which only got her a disapproving glare from Velvet. “Heheh… see… so far Shining hasn’t been pranked. So if I do this it’ll make us completely even. Plus I told them to stop pulling pranks. I never mentioned myself.”

It was the logic of a teenager alright. But Velvet couldn’t say she’d never done anything similar at her daughter’s age. “Alright, fill me in on the details first though at least.”

“Good, I was going to need your help too. And probably dad’s. I’m, going to fake my own kidnapping!”

Correct timeling...
Cadence [16] Twilight [12] wanted to figure out who Shining loved more so faked a kidnapping by Chrysalis, Shining's ex. Chrysy told Shining about it so he flipped the prank back on those two. He then releived Chrysy told him and left her in the room with them and they duct taped her to a phone pole. Fluffle puff may or may not have legit kidnapped her then.
1 year later.
Cadence wanted to get back at Shining and so did Chrysy. Twilight didn't but got dragged into it. Chrysy would get Shining drunk at a party and make out with him and Cadence would make him feel guilty about it. This never though and Chrysy stole his phone and faked texts saying she'd slept with him and he'd threatened her and then she disapeeared from school for a week after he'd ask to meet her in his back yard making Cadence and Twilight think Shining had killed her and buried her in the garden behind the shed. They dug her body up which was actually a pig carcass, Shining found them, they screemed, Velvet came out and asked WTF was going on and why Shining's ex was standing in the shed door laughing. Twilight then got super pissed and demanded no more pranks.
