Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, and Fluttershy go out to prank.

A nice April Fools' Day for everypony, until some pranksters come along and create the best prank ever.

Yet another short fic I wrote, still bored, wanting to get my mind somewhere off of CMC. This is actually started before Aprils Fools Day and I presume will be submitted before as well.

The April Fools' Day Pranksters

Rainbow Dash was clearing out the clouds when Fluttershy came up to her.

"Hi Rainbow. How have you been this fine April Fools' Day?" she said, holding out her hoof.

"Good... Hey what's in your hoof?" said Rainbow peering at Fluttershy's hoof.

"Wha-What? There is nothing in my hoof." said Fluttershy starting to sweat. Rainbow looked closer and saw a joy-buzzer.

"Oh come on Fluttershy! You could seriously do much better than a stupid joy-buzzer!" said Rainbow Dash ripping it off her hoof.

"Well I was looking for something to do but Rarity, was busy. So I came to you to try to prank you, because I know you love joy-buzzers. I was hoping we could hang out after that but, as you see it has backfired." said Fluttershy. "Please don't be mad at me!"

"Mad..? Mad?!" said Rainbow Dash. "I am not mad! I am just surprised that you didn't go all out with the prank! I mean it is April Fools' Day!"

"Well I am glad that you're not mad but, I thought that a joy-buzzer would be enough." said Fluttershy. Rainbow put her arm around Fluttershy's shoulder.

"It's time to give you a lesson in pranking." said Rainbow flying away with Fluttershy. "But we will need some more mentors, and I know exactly who is going to help you on your prank filled journey to the best prank EVER!"

Soon they had arrived at Sweet Apple Acres.

"You want me to what now?!" said Apple Jack as confused as ever. "Fluttershy is the type of pony that wouldn't prank, wouldn't be rude, or anything in that area! Are you crazy Rainbow Dash?!"

"Trust me she did! She tried to get me with a joy-buzzer." exclaimed Rainbow.

"A-a joy-buzzer? O-on April Fools' Day?!" yelled Apple Jack quickly falling down and dying of laughter.

Fluttershy was not happy with Apple Jack laughing at her so she said something about it, "Element of 'Honesty'? More like element of 'Laughter'!" she yelled in Apple Jack face.

Apple Jack kept on laughing for a moment then realized that Fluttershy was being assertive again. She knew what happened that last time Fluttershy was assertive, and did not want her feelings hurt. So she decided it was better to help them to run back home crying.

"Alright then Flutters' if that's whatcha want." she said getting up. "What do you need me to do?"

"Fluttershy and pranking don't go together. You're kidding right?" said Pinkie Pie. "You must have the wrong Fluttershy girls! Fluttershy would never want to prank!" said Pinkie confused.

Apple Jack put her hoof on Pinkie's shoulder and said, "I know sugar cube I was surprised too but Fluttershy really wants to know how to prank. I mean it is April Fools' Day after all."

"I know it's April Fools' Day, but I figured she would have been calmed down at the relaxing day at the spa last week." said Pinkie. "I just don't understand why she would ever want to pull a prank!"

Rainbow said to Pinkie, "I know right!" "Why would you ever want to pull a prank Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy smiled and said, "I don't really know I guess I just wanted to be considered fun for once. By you three, since you are considered pranksters. I just wanted to get along with you girls better."

"Fluttershy! We get along with you perfectly! Why would you think that we don't?" Rainbow exclaimed.

"It's just that you three get along so well with them. I thought we weren't that close." she said. The three mares in front of her started dying laughing. Fluttershy was confused. She didn't know if she was offended, or relieved. Apple Jack managed to stop her laughing, or at least slow it down. and got up and said to Fluttershy, "Why in Equestria would you ever think that we didn't get along well?"

"It's just that you all are pranksters and I wanted to fit in since it's April Fools' Day! Plus, Rarity was too busy re-creating our dresses for the gala." she said. Rainbow and Apple Jack were confused but Pinkie Pie just smirked.

"What is it with you and Rarity?" Rainbow yelled. Fluttershy was about to get her words out when Pinkie Pie stopped her.

"Heh, you never know, right?" Pinkie said nervously then glaring at Fluttershy with the 'evil eye'. Fluttershy was scared at the look she had been given. Rainbow had zoned out during that mini conversation. She was visualizing the PERFECT prank to pull. The prank for the history books, the best prank of all of the world, the best prank of all time. Interrupting their conversation Rainbow blurted out, "I got it! It just came to me! It is going to be awesome!"

"What's gonna be awesome?" said Pinkie. Rainbow ran over the Pinkie got all in her face shook her and squealed, "The best prank ever!"

"Woah there Rainbow, don't hurt her." said Apple Jack pulling Rainbow Dash away from Pinkie Pie.

"Yeah Rainbow Dash. She already has that bruise fro-" said Fluttershy being cut off by Pinkie once again covering her mouth and giving her the 'evil eye'. Fluttershy, being herself, was once again a tiny bit scared. Apple jack just rolled her eyes.

"Enough with all that! Fluttershy do you really seriously want to know how to prank?" Apple Jack asked. Fluttershy looked closely into Apple Jack's eyes realizing she was being serious. After all the trouble they had gone through to help her learn how to prank. She had to say yes.

"Yes, yes I do!" she exclaimed.

"Well then what are we waitin' for! Let's get to it!" Apple Jack said as she jumped once.

"Hold on a second!" Pinkie said stopping the three other mares. "What exactly are we waiting for..?"

"Trust me, I know exactly what we are waiting for. What Ponyville's waiting for." Rainbow said. "Let me explain."

Back at Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Jack was hammering down the last screw to her catapult.

"You sure this is gonna work Rainbow?" she said wiping her sweat. Rainbow flew down to her and said, "Of course it's gonna work. Trust me I have it all planned out like I said."

"Girls! I finished the pie!" Pinkie said hopping outside. "Although I might need some help getting it outside.."

"No problemo! You sure it can hold the pie AJ?" Rainbow Dash said peering at Apple Jack.

"I sure do hope so." Apple Jack said. Rainbow Dash grabbed Fluttershy and went into the kitchen to get the pie. They each grabbed on end of the pie and carried it outside and dropped it into the catapult.

"Oh my, that weighed a TON!" Fluttershy exclaimed. The sun was going down and time was running out for the prank.

"C'mon now! Let's get this over with before the sun goes down!" said Apple Jack. The four girls ran off pushing the catapult with the pie inside of it.

The four mares hid behind a bush behind Twilight's castle.

"Oh! This is going to be so exci-" Pinkie said being cut off by Fluttershy covering her mouth.

"Touché." Pinkie said narrowing her eyes at Fluttershy.

"Okay when should we launch the catapult?" Apple Jack said.

"Wait for my go. Just,wait." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight and Rarity were in Twilight's castle. It looked to Rainbow Dash that they were trotting out.

"And.....Go!" yelled Rainbow. At Rainbow's que, Apple Jack pulled the rope and set off her catapult. Sending a pie the size of a house flying in mid-air. It landed on Rarity and Twilight.

"What In Equestria?!" yelled Twilight. Rarity happened to be walking out with the dresses she had spent all night re-making for the Grand Galloping Gala that had grape juice spilled on them by Sweetie Belle. All Twilight and Rarity would hear was the sound of four ponies laughing.

"You four! Look what you did to our dresses for the Grand Galloping Gala!" Rarity screamed. The four mares fell down dying of laughter.

"Girls! That's not a laughing matter!" Twilight said as she levitated the four mares by their tails.

"Fine." Rainbow grumbled.

"Now I want you four to clean this mess up. Now! You are also going to help Rarity with re-making the dresses for the gala." said Twilight.

"Alright Twilight, we're sorry. We'll clean it up." said Apple Jack.

"Apple Jack's right. We will help." said Fluttershy.

"Woah. Woah. Woah. I never agreed to anything." Rainbow Dash said.

"Rainbow, you have to! Or else I won't stop talking about EVERYTHING!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Fine.." Rainbow said.

"Now get started on cleaning this up!" Twilight said.

"Yes Twilight." the fours girls said.

The girls started cleaning up the mess they had made and had the best April Fools' Day ever!
