Drake and Josh in
Megan...
April first, what a wonderful day. Drake grinned smugly as he positioned a pale filled with water over the slightly opened door to their room. Josh stabilized the ladder his brother stood on so the bucket would have little trouble reaching its destination. He could hardly contain his excitement, so Drake had to occasionally stop his careful pacing and remind Josh to calm down or their plans would kick the bucket... so to speak. "Oh, Megan's gonna get it so good," Josh said, holding back a laugh.
Drake took a serious tone, hoping his brother could contain himself, the wobbling of the ladder worried him, "Yeah, yeah, just keep the thing in place, got it?"
Josh replied, a stern expression reaching his face as he firmly held both sides of the ladder, "Yes, sir."
It didn't matter much, because Drake spoke up while stepping down, "Alright, that should do it."
"Heheaah," Josh cackled with a pre-celebratory clap, "This'll teach that leddle guurl that getting pranked's no fun."
"Yeah, right." Drake said with a chuckle. Realization crept up on him though, "Oh, dude. Ladder!" he exclaimed, pointing at the equipment. Megan was always barging in on their room too, so this would make her think twice before invading their space again. Now they just had to hope she came up soon, or else they'd have to take the bucket down just to leave their own room...
Walter had arrived at the house and proceeded to the living room. Megan, noticing her father, had offered a friendly hello, to which Walter randomly replied with a rant about his day at work, "I played Naruto Clash of Ninja at my work and it was the best game I've ever played like ever, it was really fun."
Megan let out a sigh, "Ahuh."
"That is until," Walter's expression took a turn for the worst, "Bruce Winchell came in and beat everyone in the office."
Megan retorted, "I don't care." Walter frowned upon this and had walked off. Something devious sprang up in Megan's twisted mind, "Oh, Drake and Josh need you for something upstairs."
"On it," he claimed, beginning his ascent of the stairs. Reaching the top of the staircase, Walter gripped the knob on the door, barely noticing it was slightly open already and pushed forwards, "Boys, did you-?" Before he could react, he was soaked and a bucket of water smacked against the floor.
*Cue laugh track
Drake and Josh were stunned at the sight while their dad scolded them, water dripping from his face. Josh opened his mouth to prompt some sort of explanation, but Walter stopped him short. "Grounded, one month."
Drake stuttered, "B- But Dad, we... We didn't mean-"
"Oh, please!" he exclaimed, eyes narrowed. "You expect me to believe the bucket just set itself up there?"
Josh shrugged and offered an innocent, "...April Fools?"
Walter sternly reasserted himself, "One month."
The brothers sighed and nodded reluctantly, apologies muttered. "Good, now clean this up." Walter left them to sit and think about what they've done by descending the staircase and leaving a trail of water down it.
After hearing him reach the bottom, none other than Megan peaked into their room with a smug smile. "Gotcha," she said.
Drake and Josh traded bewildered looks, but Josh was first to turn back to their devious little sister, "You knew!?"
"Of course I knew. I'm always watching you two boobs fail. Have fun cleaning that up," she laughed and left them to wallow in failure.
The brothers had been halfway through cleaning the water from the rug. Josh groaned, "Maybe ya should'a thought that Megan wouldn't be the one to come up."
Drake retorted, "Yeah? Well, maybe ya should'a talked me outta it."
Josh, angered, replied, "How could you possibly blame this on me? You were the one who came up with this stupid idea in the first place!"
Drake responded as-a-matter-of-factly, "The same way I can blame you for me doing this." And with that, he tossed a roll of paper towels at Josh. Josh replied, ever so kindly, by getting up and shoving Drake. The two immediately indulged in a slapping fight. The slaps soon became rougher, but Drake ended it by grappling around his brother's waist to attempt to throw him. Josh grappled him back and they stumbled over each other. They awkwardly wrestled and accidentally ventured too close to the window that just so happened to be open. Josh noticed it and made to let go of Drake, but Drake heaved their masses backwards and out the window, resulting in their combined screams as they fell off camera.
Everything went black.
Josh woozily raised a hand to his head, for some reason smelling baked goods. He looked around and figured he was in some sort of kitchen. Strange, this place couldn't have been the kitchen within their home, for the colors were far too varied. He didn't get much more time to examine anything before his brother woke up and came to similar conclusions about their location. A cling from a pot nearby directed their attention to a pink, cartoonish-looking pony that was rolling dough atop a counter.
Drake and Josh, perplexed, exchanged a quick glance to make sure they were both seeing the same thing. It looked like one of Megan's toys, except full sized, and animated. Josh shrugged let out an exasperated, "Henh?"
Drake asked, "Dude, where are we?"
A feminine voice called out, "What the-?"
The two looked at what made the sound and saw a pair of blue eyes and a cherry red mane looking back at them. Confused, they both slowly panned to look at each other, a realization dawning on them. "W-who are you?" that voice asked again and again, Drake and Josh stared back at her with a loss for words.
"It can talk?" Drake asked.
Josh raised his arms, his mouth agape, "Sure, that's normal..."
"Um... Well, I'm not sure how you two got here, but I'm Pinkie Pie," she offered confusedly. Pointing a hoof at the two odd creatures before her, "And your names are?"
"I think we hit a rock on the way down. Is that horse talking to us?" Josh asked his brother and ignored the peculiar equine's friendly question.
"Dude, I don't know, but maybe it knows where we are?"
"You're in Ponyville, sillies!" Pinkie Pie told them with a giggle. "I can tell you're not from around here."
"Ponyville?" Drake asked and raised a hand to his chin, "Right, that borders-"
"Don't even," Josh groaned. "Listen, uh... Pinkie Pie," the name sounded frilly; definitely from something out of Megan's childhood cartoons. Regardless, Josh continued, despite how odd this circumstance proved to be, "My brother and I don't know where we are or how we got here. All I remember is setting up this prank for our little sister and-"
Pinkie gasped loudly and cut him off, "You're into pranks too!? It's April Fool's day, you know."
"Yeah, we were trying to get back at our sister, and we figured today'd be perfect," Drake explained.
"Oh, she's one of those devious little sisters, isn't she? My sister would pull pranks on me all the time, so I got real good." She gasped loudly again, "I could totally teach you two how to be good at it!"
"Wow, really?" Josh questioned, but quirked a brow at the idea of a pony, of all things, helping him to accomplish this.
"Yeah! We can start now, actually."
Drake and Josh shared grins of approval and nodded.
Pinkie giggled, and pulled a quill and paper from seemingly nowhere. She quickly jotted something down and clapped her hooves together. Randomly, the paper disappeared and she stood there with a blank smile.
Not even five seconds later, a large flash of white and yellow blinded the brothers, but not Pinkie. When they were able to see again, they took notice of the white equine in front of them. She had a tiara and strange wavy hair, but that wasn't important since she was staring daggers at their new friend. "YOOOOOOUU!" the big pony shouted, though Pinkie seemed unmoved by the yelling. "I told everyone here that I hate, hate, HATE this idiotic day! I specifically sent everypony letters telling them to NOT prank me! What could possibly have prompted you to send me this... this filth!?"
The letter she referred to actually floated down behind her so that Drake and Josh could read it.
-Dear Princess Celestia
I just wrote this to waste your time
♥ Pinkie Pie
Pinkie replied with a giggle, "I guess you were just asking for it at that point."
Infuriated, Celestia roared and charged up her horn, "I'm sending you far away so you can THINK about what you've done!"
"Yay!"
"YAY!?"
"DARN!" her expression reversed itself into self-disappointment.
Smug with her ability to sadden her loyal subjects, she grinned and spoke up, "Now, to send you to... Uh..." She couldn't honestly think of a place suitable for punishing this weird pony.
Josh awkwardly whispered, "San Diego."
"SAN DIEGO!" she called out and blasted magic at the counter to open a portal.
"Thank you," Pinkie said with a smile and waved a hoof back to let her new friends know to join her path. The two baffled Celestia as they ran past her and into the portal home along with their new pink friend.
Pinkie Pie giggled as she brought out a suit case and hoisted it atop a table inside of Drake and Josh's bedroom. "Alright," she said. "You're gonna hit her with this."
The brothers' faces beamed as she opened it. Josh took the object and said, "Heahaaaah, yeah, we'll get her good with this!"
Drake smiled and said, "Okay, um, you hide behind the couch with Pinkie a-and... I'll pretend to play my guitar after we create a loud noise to draw Megan up here."
Josh and Pinkie complied and proceeded to hide behind the couch just as Drake threw a dumbbell on the ground, creating a disturbance. Drake then leaped to his bed, grabbed his guitar and started to pluck a few strings.
Megan had raced upstairs, bursting open the door and hoping to see her brothers in pain. Upon noticing only Drake, she shouted, "What was that?!"
Drake replied coolly, "Oh, I just uh... Got done lifting for today and wanted to practice my fingering."
Megan narrowed her eyes and slowly began drifting back down the stairs.
Drake whispered harshly, "JOSH NOW!"
Josh got up, ran towards the stairs, and threw a red brick which collided fiercely with the back of Megan's head and she fell to the floor.
Drake, Josh, and Pinkie Pie got up and started to dance along with the credits music.
