Chapter 1: The Sacred Day of Dumb

April 1st.

To normal people, it’s a Tuesday.

To Vicky, Addy, and Ju-Ling?

It’s WAR.

Vicky set her alarm for 4:00 a.m.

Addy did five push-ups while brushing her teeth.

Ju-Ling teleported silently into the school’s ceiling vents holding duct tape and ramen noodles.

The prank board was ready.

It read:

• Operation Whoopcake ?

• Banana Peel Initiative ?

• Glitter Containment Protocol ❌ (R.I.P. Ms. Franklin’s wig)

• Emergency Pudding Bombs (in progress)

Chapter 2: Target: Principal Haddock

Their first victim: Principal Haddock.

The plan? Replace his chair with a whoopie cushion taped to a Roomba dressed like Abraham Lincoln.

“WHY Lincoln?” Addy asked.

Vicky: “Historical accuracy.”

Ju-Ling: “Style.”

The moment he sat down… the Roomba farted, screamed “FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN TOOTS AGO,” and zoomed into a wall.

Principal Haddock screamed.

The chair exploded in glitter.

Someone played kazoo versions of the national anthem over the intercom.

Ju-Ling whispered: “Justice has been served. On wheels.”

Chapter 3: Pranking Period 3

Science class.

Boring. Serious. Smelled like boiled markers.

Addy slipped fake cockroaches under every microscope.

Ju-Ling climbed into the ceiling again.

Vicky hacked the smartboard to display:

“FUN FACT: ATOMS ARE JUST SHY MARBLES.”

The teacher, Mr. Peebles, sighed, reached for his emergency stress pickle, and found it had been replaced with a rubber duck wearing a monocle.

Addy: “We’re artists.”

Ju-Ling: ninja smoke bomb

Vicky: “Let the duck teach now.”

Chapter 4: The Great Toilet Swap

At lunch, they hit DEFCON DUMB.

Ju-Ling redirected all the bathroom signs.

Addy taped googly eyes on every stall door.

Vicky installed a fake toilet that honked like a goose when you sat on it.

There were screams.

There was honking.

Someone emerged covered in glitter and spaghetti, yelling, “WHY IS IT WATCHING ME?!”

“I call that one The Emotional Bidet,” Vicky said proudly.

Chapter 5: Revenge of the Nerds (Attempted)

The Chess Club tried to fight back.

They left a note:

“Your prank reign ends here. Signed, The Pawns of Justice.”

Next day, they filled the girls’ lockers with marshmallows.

Mistake.

Big mistake.

Vicky reprogrammed the Chess Club’s laptops to only speak in pirate slang.

Ju-Ling zip-tied all their chairs together.

Addy carried their chessboard into the hallway, set it down dramatically, and whispered, “Check... yourself.”

Chapter 6: Final Prank: Operation WHOOPCAKE

They saved the best for last.

One giant prank. One chaotic finale.

Step 1: Build a fake bake sale table.

Step 2: Offer free cupcakes.

Step 3: Fill cupcakes with mayonnaise.

Step 4: Hide.

The entire 6th grade took the bait.

There were screams.

Someone yelled “WHY IS IT SOUR?”

Another yelled “I CAN FEEL MY ANCESTORS CRYING.”

Then—BOOM—the cupcakes exploded in confetti.

Ju-Ling dropped down from the ceiling, ninja-style, holding a whiteboard that said:

“April Fooled, Nerds.”

Addy sprinted past, handing out fake detention slips.

Vicky? She was on the intercom, announcing:

“Attention students: all spaghetti is now emotionally haunted. Thank you.”

Chapter 7: The Aftermath

Principal Haddock wrote a letter home.

Dear Parents,

Today was... a lot.

I will be taking a personal leave to recover from being attacked by a sentient Roomba and haunted lasagna.

Please pick up your children and check their backpacks for glitter-based explosives.

Sincerely,

A broken man
