Part 2: Starlight

Starlight Glimmer was worried. Back in the settlement where she had stole everyponies cutie marks, they never celebrated April Fools Day. It was one of those things that Starlight thought was stupid. However, after her last April fools in the castle, she was starting to warm up to the idea.

However, after talking to Twilight, she knew that someone serious was playing these pranks, and hoped to Celestia that she wouldn't be included.

That's when she heard a knock on the castle door.

"Coming!!' Starlight called to the visitor, hurrying down the hall. She grasped the door handle as she approached the door, and pulled it open to meet the vistor.

"H-hello Starlight!" Sunburst said as soon as he saw her face.

"SUNBURST?!" Starlight practically shouted. "W-what are you doing here today?"

"W-well, I thought I'd ask you about this letter I received." Sunburst explained, his face turning red for some reason. "You were rather descriptive."

"I-i was?" Starlight asked in obliviousness. "Wh-what does it say?"

Taking a moment to clear his throat, Sunburst read aloud, "Oh Sunburst, I cannot hide it anymore. I am madly in love with you!"

Starlight felt her jaw hit the floor as Sunburst continued reading. The letter described different ways that they should have sex, and none of them were appropriate.

And, to her embarrassment, the whole block was there to hear it.

"S-so." Sunburst coughed, "Is this all true?"

"N-NO!" Starlight suddenly yelled, "I never felt that way about you."

"Y-you didn't?" Sunburst said quietly, "Y-you mean this is a joke?"

Starlight didn't think her jaw could go wider, but it seemed like it did as it dawned on her that Sunburst actually liked her.

"Well." Sunburst sighed after a few moments of silence, "I-i suppose I should head home."

As he began to walk away, Starlight called out, "Wait! Sunburst!"

"W-what now? Can't you already see I'm done here?" He asked her, his voice becoming tinged with venom.

"It's not that I don't like you, i do." Starlight explained, "It's just. . .dating is a whole other thing, and I don't know if I could make it work."

"W-well, don't know until you try right?" Sunburst replied, "T-tell you what, I'll take you to Sugarcube Corner for a date, and we'll see where it goes."

Starlight blushed as she thought over the proposal. "O-ok. We can do that."

So Starlight and Sunburst went to Sugarcube corner where they would bump into victim number three. . .

Part 3: Pinkie Pie

Ever since she woke, Pinkie Pie knew that a god-class prankster was about. And she had no doubts that she'd be pranked too.

Pinkie was ever vigilant as she searched for any hidden pranks. In her closet, her party cannon, Gummy, Mr. and Mrs. Cake (Much to their displeasure) and even the baby Cakes.

We she felt certain that she wouldn't be pranked, she made her way to the cash register to begin work for the day.

The first couple of hours were decent, only two ponies entered. Then she noticed a certain couple heading up to the register.

"Starlight? Sunburst?" She asked incredulously, "You two are dating now?!"

"Maybe?" Starlight managed to say.

After pushing her jaw back up, Pinkie shook her head, "Well then, what do you two want?"

"W-well, can we just have a couple of milkshakes to talk over?" Sunburst suggested.

"No problemo!" Pinkie answered merrily, "But, I have to warn you two that a grade A prankster is about. . ."

"We know Pinkie." Both Sunburst and Starlight said.

So, Pinkie showed them to a table with a great view of Ponyville before heading into the kitchens to start the milkshakes.

This, is where everything went wrong.

First, when Pinkie went to get the vanilla ice cream, she got her mane stuck to the freezer. How even?

Then, she opened the fridge to get the milk. After she finished adding the milk, she noticed that the milk she grabbed was Mrs. Cake's milk for the babies.

Gasping in fear, Pinkie had to down the shakes. Which tasted surprisingly sweet.

Then, finally, after making two new shakes, she placed them on a tray. Which just fell in half.

Pinkie was starting to get furious. The prankster was good, switching the milk around, sawing her tray, and somehow sticking her mane to the freezer. But she would triumph.

25 wasted shakes later, the kitchen was coated in a layer of milk, Pinkie had flour all over her, the eggs she took out to bake a cake were all live chicks. And the cherry on top was that she had found a picture of her and Dash that she had once hidden from public eyes, as it showed a more 'Adult' Pinkie.

So, covered in kitchen ingriedients and clutching the picture for all to see, she gave Starlight and Sunburst their shakes before heading back inside the kitchen to begin cleaning up.

Part 4: Rainbow Dash

Rainbow had been asleep for almost half of the entire day. Pinkie was at work and Dash didn't feel like pranking today. Why? Because she was still thinking about the awesome night she and her new marefriend had. Boy, Pinkie sure knew her way around.

But, like all good things, Rainbow's nap came to and end as she couldn't sleep anymore.

So she sat there, in the cloud, just listening for ponies being pranked. (Her favorite sound to be sure.) And for awhile, she heard nothing.

Then, she heard the familiar voice of her number one fan, Scootaloo.

"I can't wait to show the girls this picture!" Scootaloo whispered to herself in glee.

A picture? Now Rainbow was curious.

"I wonder how that actually feels, I've never touched myself there before. . " Scootaloo pondered to herself as she continued walking towards the clubhouse.

Unawares to Scootaloo, Rainbow was now intently following her. Trying her best to get a glance at this picture.

Just before they reached the clubhouse, Rainbow decided to confront Scootaloo, only for Applebloom to show up out of nowhere. Rainbow took her hiding place back as she watched the two girls enter the clubhouse.

She landed next to one of the windows so she could hear the conversation.

"So, what is this?" Applebloom asked Scootaloo.

"It's Pinkie licking Rainbow down there." Scootaloo explained, her hoof wandering of it's own accord. Before it could reach it's prize, Applebloom's voice broke the silence again.

"Why? Does it feel good?" Applebloom wondered.

Better then you could imagine. Rainbow thought to herself. Naughty images coming to her mind of the two crusaders doing the same thing. She shook her head to clear it. NO! She had to get that picture back.

"Do you wanna try it?" Scootaloo asked impatiently.

"Ah don't know. . . I was told not to touch myself there. . ." Applebloom stated.

"But, what if it does feel good? What if AJ didn't want you to know how good it felt?" Scootaloo continued to prod.

Meanwhile, Rainbow was now fighting every urge to touch herself, especially this close to fillies.

"O-ok, who goes first?" Applebloom asked.

Before Scootaloo could answer, another voice spoke up. "You two will do no such thing. Now go home Scootaloo, ah have to talk to my sister."

Rainbow Dash silently rejoiced as she watched Scootaloo run home. She could just take the picture back that night. No harm was done.

So, Rainbow flew away, back to her cloud and lazy day.

Part 1: Twilight.

It was morning, April first. And Twilight was still asleep. Not because she wanted to sleep in, mind you.

In fact, the sun wasn't scheduled to rise for another hour or so.

But, out of nowhere, she felt a tickling on her nose, and went to swat it. To her surprise, her hoof was covered in whipped cream. Or, she hoped that's what it was.

Now wide awake, Twilight began her morning routine. Brush her teeth, eat breakfast, then hold Friendship Court. April Fools or not.

So, yawning loudly, Twilight walked into her bathroom and began brushing her teeth, only to find her toothpaste was hot sauce. Sreaming from the sudden spice, Twilight thrust her entire head into her sink. After a few seconds, she resurfaced.

Now grumbling to herself, Twi was cautious.

She checked her breakfast. Twice. Even the milk!!!

Then, she checked the throne room for traps.

"Twilight, what are you doing?" Starlight asked as she too entered the throne room.

"There's a prankster on the loose. They've already got me twice." Twilight explained without breaking her concentration on the task at hand.

Starlight paused, "What day is it?"

Twilight looked up at Starlight. "It's April 1st."

"Oh god. . ." Starlight gasped.

"I know, this could only end so well." Twilight sighed. She made her way over to Starlight. "Ok, I think there's nothing else here. I'm gonna go read to relieve my stress."

"Alright Twilight, have fun." Starlight told her before heading towards the kitchen.

A few minutes later found Twilight in her library. Surrounded by the one thing she knew could never betray her. Her books.

She hummed merrily to herself as she looked for a good book to read. "The Lord of the Ponies? Too long for just one day. . ." She muttered to herself, "The Mare, the Changeling and the Wardrobe? Nah, I've read it five times already."

Eventually, she found one. A big book on Equestria's surroundings. It was bookmarked at an entry about Saddle Arabia.

"Ahh. " Twilight sighed as she sunk into her favorite chair. She slowly opened her book, and found that all of the words were flipped backwards. But before she could recover from her shock, the book caught fire!

So, Ponyville was woken by the yelling of one peeved Princess as April Fools day began.
