It was April Fools' Day in Cappy Town. Even cappies had a lot of ideas of tricks, practical jokes, and pranks. They are from really small to really big. As it is April Fools Day, they cannot do anything when they are pranked as it is the rules. Here are some examples:
********
Samo had fake ice cubes with a fake dead fly inside and he would put them in a drink, which would make others freak out.
"One cup of marmalade drink please," a female cappy ordered as she sat down.
"Right away!" He turned around and put one fake ice in the glass, two more real ice cubes, and poured the marmalade drink in the glass. "Here you go," Samo said as he handed the drink with the fake ice cube inside it. He kept his poker face, but he was trying very hard not to laugh, or else he would ruin his own prank.
"Thank you," one cappy customer said. As she drank a sip, her eyes widened and she spat violently after noticing the dead fly inside one of the ice cubes.
"Ha! Got you! April Fools!" Samo said as he laughed hysterically.
********
"One medium-spicy noodle soup, Kawasaki," Chief Bookem ordered as he entered the restaurant.
"Coming!" Kawasaki said as he put the precooked noodle in the bow. After he poured the soup in, he put something else for April Fools Day. Kawasaki had a fake cockroach he put inside the food. Whenever someone found the fake cockroach, they would also freak out. "Here you go!" Kawasaki said as he tried extremely hard not to laugh. He tightened his lips hard after serving the food.
"Thank you," Chief Bookem said as he scooped up the spoonful of soup, only to pick up the fake cockroach. "GAHHHH!" Chief Bookem was absolutely disgusted with bugs. Although he is a police officer, there are so many things he is afraid of. He flipped the table and his food over.
"AHAHAHAHAH! APRIL FOOLS! HAHAHA!!" Kawasaki rolled around the kitchen as he laughed so hard that his stomach started to hurt.
********
Even Mabel had few tricks on her sleeve. When a customer opened her hut and said, "I wish to seek my fortune." Mabel had them sit down in front of her and the orb.
"Mmm..." Mabel said as she gestured around the orb. "I see... I see... I think... I think I see something..." As Mabel said that and pretended to put her hands in her lab, she grabbed a fake spider on her lapse and said, "Come. Come closer... here is your fate that you must see..."
When the customer leaned in to see the orb closely, Mabel gently placed the fake spider behind the orb. The orb made the spider look so huge and right in front of their face. "GAAAAAHHHHHH!" The customer, who was afraid of spiders, jumped up and ran out as she continued to scream, "GAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"April Fools!" Mabel called out as the customer ran away. "I predict this will also work next time."
********
"For you, Hana!" Mayor said as he handed the beautifully wrapped gift to his lovely wife.
"Aww, thank you, dear!" Hana fell for it. "What is it?" As she opened it, the jack-in-the-box popped out and scared Hana. She yelped as she fell backward on her chair.
"April Fools!" Mayor said as he laughed. "Oh honey, you fall for it all the time!"
********
For Tuff, it was very easy to prank his sister. When it came to something Tiff was deeply interested in, he would use that to prank her, even if it is just a small thing.
"Kirby, don't tell Tiff, alright?" Tiff said.
"Poyo?" Kirby said, confused yet optimistic as usual.
"Hey, Tiff!" Tuff said. "You got a letter from Coldings!"
"WHAT?! COMING!!" As Tiff was a huge fan of The Game of Hunger, she frequently wrote letters to the author. She ran to Tuff, but in the process, she tripped and rolled over to Tuff.
"OH MY GOODNESS HAHA!!" Tuff said as he dropped to the floor and laughed. "I WAS DEFINITELY NOT EXPECTING YOU TO TRIP AND ROLL OVER!!"
"So..." Tiff said as she groaned. "Where is the letter?"
"Kidding HAHA!" Tuff said between his laughs.
"WHAT?!" Tiff roared in fury.
"APRIL FOOLS! HAHA!" Tuff shrieked between his laughs. "Oh, you're so EASY!"
"I ought to slug you later!" Tiff said as she stood back up and dusted herself and stormed out. As Tuff was still laughing crazily on the floor, Kirby wondered why they were doing this.
"Oh, today is April Fools Day," Meta Knight explained.
"Poyo?" Kirby asked for an explanation.
"It's a day when people prank others and can get away with it," Meta Knight said.
"Poyo?" Kirby asked.
"Prank... hmmm..." Meta Knight wondered how to explain it to Kirby. "It's a joke when only the person who did the joke think it's funny."
"Poyo, poyo?" Kirby asked.
"No, not the joke that Dedede tells," Meta Knight said. "It's more unexpected, clever, funny, and mischievous."
"Poyo, poyo?" Kirby asked.
"No, I don't like pranks," Meta Knight said.
"Poyo," Kirby said.
"Why don't we get something to eat?" Meta Knight offered. "My treat."
"POYO! POYO!" Kirby cheered excitedly.
********
Even Tokkori had something up his sleeve. He loved tricking Fololo and Falala. While Fololo and Falala were flying around, Tokkori would dress up as dark-cloaked ghosts and fly behind them. When Fololo and Falala looked back, they screamed "AAAAAHAHHHHHHHHH" as they freaked out and flew off to get far away from the cloaked ghost.
"Gets them every time!" Tokkori said to himself proudly as he took off the cloak to get some fresh air.
********
The worst pranks were all from Dedede to Escargoon because once his pranks start, there is no way that he'll end it before the April Fools Day is over. Escargoon woke up from his sleep and walked around to get the chores started. He saw angry Tiff stomping by. "Hey, Tiff," Escargoon greeted.
"What happened to your face?" Tiff asked as she freaked out by his new getup.
"Hm? What?" Escargoon asked as he took out a mirror and freaked out by his reflection. He had a fake mustache, bandage drawing, and some immature drawings of poop. "AH! WHO DID THIS?! WHO DID THIS?!"
"100% Dedede," Tiff said. "Why don't you go tell him to stop doing it? I understand you. I hate April Fools Day... I'm going to the library in Cappy Town to cool down! Nobody better mess with me there!"
"Grr!" Escargoon also angrily walked away. It has started. The annual day when the King tortures him ten times more than usual. When he walked inside Dedede's dining hall, he heard Dedede boisterously and hysterically laughing on his chair.
"PPFFFFFFTTTT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!" Dedede laughed. "What's dat face, Escargoon?! Ya look like rotten slime!"
"You did this sire! You did this!" Escargoon could not help it but he was really angry about this.
"I'm sorry Escargoon," Dedede apologized, pulled out a chair next to him and said, "Come on, have a seat here."
Hmm... looks like his majesty is not that bad after all, Escargoon misunderstood. When he walked towards the chair and was about to sit on it, Dedede quickly yanked it back, making Escargoon fall backward too.
"BWAHAHAHAHAH!!" Dedede laughed.
"Sire! I could've gotten hurt!" Escargoon said angrily.
"Fine! Fine!" Dedede bellowed. "Here have a seat!" Dedede withdrew his hands.
Escargoon smiled and sat on the chair, only to make a loud farting noise, making Escargoon stand back up quickly.
"SAFETY! PWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Dedede was laughing so hard that he fell off his chair. "PEE-YOO! WHAT DID YOU EAT?! ROTTEN WATERMELON?!" He hammered his fist on the floor, trying hard not to laugh as it was starting to hurt his stomach and tears ran down from his eyes from laughing too hard.
"That's it!" Escargoon said as he started to storm out. "I had enough!" Escargoon stormed all the way to the throne room. "It's time for his majesty to learn his lesson that it is not funny and not nice to prank people like this!" He knew Susie will know what to do in order to get him back. "Susie! Susie! Open up!" Escargoon screamed as he hammered the button.
"Calm down, sir Escargoon," Susie said as she connected. She was bent down to reach down for the paper that fell on the floor. "I'm gonna get to y- WHOA!" As Susie picked up the paper and raised up to see the camera, she saw Escargoon's getup. "What happened to your face?!"
"His majesty..." Escargoon said. He was about to explain it but then his voice cracked as he was about to cry. When he started to bawl, Susie sent him her box of tissues. The tears made the ink on his bleed that it looked like he was crying ink. He wiped his tears, which smeared the ink that made this face look even darker, and blew his nose. Susie was disgusted by how some of his mucus landed on the floor. When Escargoon calmed down, he started to calmly explain to Susie what happened, "It's April Fools Day and..."
"Oh, it's that day!" Susie said as she groaned. "Do you know how much I hate this day?! I hate all the pranks!"
"Right?! Oh, thank you so much for agreeing with me!" Escargoon tearfully thanked Susie. He took more tissues out of the box and wiped more tears.
"So, you want me to do something about it?" Susie asked.
"Yes! Can you send me a monster or a robot who can prank his majesty?" Escargoon begged with his hands folded. "I'm a wedgie away from an eating disorder! I don't want to be obese like that egotistic penguin!"
"I might have just a thing..." Susie said as she turned to her computer and searched up the monsters or robots that would be perfect for Escargoon's request. "Maybe this would work... how about Telepathos?"
"Telepathos? What is that?" Escargoon asked.
"Just throwing some powerful, explosive energy balls," Susie explained. "But I believe it's enough to teach his majesty a lesson, yes?"
"YEAH! YEAH!" Escargoon said. "PLEASE SEND IT TO ME RIGHT AWAY!"
"As you wish!" Even Susie was excited to hurt Dedede. She sent Telepathos right away. "Go on! Get your revenge!"
"Thank you so much, Susie!" Escargoon said with the brightest smile and sparkly eyes.
"No problem! Himnaeyo!" Susie cheered and disconnected.
"All right, ya fat, mean, smelly, egotistic penguin," Escargoon said as he chuckled evilly as he held Telepathos. "Why don't you try this for your conscience? Yeah? He-he-he-he-he!"
********
After finishing his breakfast, Dedede walked around in the castle, who saw Telepathos flying by. Before he was trying to figure out what it was, Telepathos threw a large energy ball at Dedede, making him fly out of the hall. Telepathos and Escargoon laughed hysterically as Escargoon said, "Ha! Gotcha! April Fools!" Telepathos flew out to get more. "Wait! Come back! COME BACK!" Escargoon screamed but Telepathos ignored.
Telepathos flew around, throwing its energy balls at the ones who were pranking. He shot Samo, the Mayor, Tokkori, Mabel, and even other unknown cappies who were pranking other Cappies. Telepathos laughed hysterically as it got its targets. Cappies were screaming as they ran away from Telepathos. Telepathos only got the ones who pulled a prank.
Tiff couldn't concentrate on her heavy reading with all the screaming outside. "What is going on out here?" She asked. "And what IS that flying boomerang looking thing?!" She asked herself once more as it flew across her. "And it's going towards Kawasaki's restaurant!" She followed after Telepathos.
At the restaurant, Kawasaki put another fake cockroach in Kirby's food. "Here you go!" Kawasaki said brightly.
"Poyo!" Kirby said as he excitedly inhaled the whole food, including the fake cockroach.
"Uh... you didn't notice anything?" Kawasaki asked.
"Poyo?" Kirby asked.
"What do you mean?" Meta Knight asked.
"I put the fake cockroach in there..." Kawasaki confessed. "Kirby's the first one it didn't work on..."
Just then, Telepathos entered Kawasaki's restaurant and shot him with full force. Kawasaki screamed as he was thrown to the other side of the restaurant.
"I knew that was up to no good!" Tiff said. "Meta Knight, you call the Robobot Armor, and I'll get the Warp Star!"
Meta Knight found it weird that it seemed that she was in charge of him most of the time, but he liked to save his words and not say anything, and retrieve the Robobot Armor.
"KABU SEND THE WARP STAR!" Tiff called as soon as the Robobot Armor arrived.
"WAAAAARP STAAAAAR!" Kabu said as he sent the Warp Star.
Kirby hopped on the Robobot Armor and the on the Warp Star and started to chase after Telepathos.
"HELP!" Tuff screamed as Telepathos was chasing Tuff for pranking Iroo, Spikehead, and Honey by throwing pies at each of their faces.
While Telepathos was chasing Tuff, it felt that it was being chased, so it turned and started to attack Kirby. As the Warp Star blocked the energy ball, the Robobot scanned Telepathos and transformed.
"It is now ESP mode!" Meta Knight said to the readers.
Telepathos vs. Kirby
Telepathos spammed a bunch of energy balls. Although the Warp Star could not dodge much as Susie started to make the monsters even stronger against the Warp Star. She was getting prepared for almost everything. One made the Robobot Armor fall out from the Warp Star, but that did not make Kirby give up. Kirby had the Robobot Armor land on its feet and released Psithunder Flash. It got Telepathos that made it fall to the ground. Kirby then had the Robobot Armor kicked it to the castle throne room.
"Kirby did it again!" Tuff said. "He saved my life!" He cheered happily.
"But it looks like the Warp Star is becoming more vulnerable," Tiff said, concerned. "What should we do now?" She asked Meta Knight.
"We'll have to train Kirby to utilize the Warp Star better," Meta Knight said. His eyes turned blue as he said, "But I know Kirby can do it. He is a much more skilled warrior than he was in the beginning. I can see it."
"Poyo! Poyo!" Kirby cheered as he won the battle.
