You woke up still snuggled in the blankets. It was sooooooo warm, you really didn't want to leave.
Like, ever.

You gave a little stretch, and realized that, the other half of the bed was somewhat cold, and empty.

You say up to examine farther, it was true. It looks like your boyfriend Emil had already woken up and let you sleep in.

You smiled, looking over the fleece Icelandic flag layer carefully over his bed's comforter. You rolled over and quick checked the time on your phone.

10:20am, Saturday April 1

You sighed. That was the last thing you wanted. Pranks from the Nordics. They usually were a pretty mischievous lot, though they don't look it on first glance.

You grabbed your phone, rolled out of bed, fixed the blankets, then headed downstairs for something to eat. All the while hoping you wouldn't be the victim of pranks first thing in the morning.

At the kitchen table you found your boyfriend Iceland already eating a bowl of cereal.

"Oh you're up! I hope I didn't make too much noise."

"No, I guess I was just hungry." You smiled.

"I would imagine. You kinda slept in." He jabbed playfully. As you prepared your own breakfast, of sausage and toast.

"Haha yeah. It's because we were up all last night watching those vintage monster movies."

He laughed. "You're right."

"You would have probably would have slept in too if you wouldn't have fallen asleep near the end of 'Kronos'." You said as you sat down.

"To be honest, it doesn't really matter because I had only woken up four minutes before you did." He smiled, as you playfully elbowed him.

"EMIL! EMIL! There's a flying cow outside!" Denmark yelled as he came charging into the kitchen.

Emil immediately choked and spit out his current bite, spraying milk and cereal bits across the table. Luckily not getting on you or your food.

"What are you talking about it is definitely to early to be drunk. Even for you." He said with milk still dripping down his chin.

"I'm not drunk! _____ do you believe me!?"

"Mathias Køhler, are you sure you're not drunk!?" You said raising an eyebrow.

"Come on you two! I'm being completely serious!" He whined.

You and Emil both look at each other.
"Mathias," Iceland started as he wiped his chin. "Are you trying to make us go outside in account is April fools day. The 'made you look joke'. It's the oldest one, and hardly the funniest." 

"Huh!? It's April first already!?" He exclaimed.

You sighed. "Then again it wouldn't surprise me if someone else's idea of a prank involved catapulting a cow."

At that moment Mr.Puffin flew in behind Denmark and lanes on the table. "WHAT ARE GUYS DOING!? DID YOU SEE THE FLYING COW!?"

"You too?" Emil asked.

"WHAT!?" He replied ruffling his feathers.

"What's all this talk about this cow!? And Mr.Puffin, I thought you were going to spend the day with the other nation's animals, to do pranks and stuff."

"I WAS ALREADY HEADED OUT, BUT I CAME BACK BECAUSE I FORGOT THE SILLY-STRING!" He said flying out of the room. "ALRIGHT SEE YOU LATER!" He said now, with something in his beak, probably the silly-string.

"So are you going to come outside and see if it's still there!?" Mathias prodded once more.

"Sorry." Emil shrugged as he put all the breakfast dishes into the dishwasher. "_____, and I are staying inside all day to avoid any pranks."

Denmark sighed and left the room.

"I don't know, couldn't we have just gone outside to humor him?" You giggled.

"No." He deadpanned.

You chuckled.

~~~   (ㅎ_ㅎ)

A little bit later you and Emil were sitting in his bedroom making out, enjoying your time alone, when his bedroom door slams open and in runs Norway with an air horn. And presses the button right next to Emil's ear.

"Aaah! Lukas!!!" He shouts, taking off down the hall after him. Then you heard a boom, followed by a smack.

You stand up to investigate. Once to exit the bedroom you look down the hall. There you can clearly see what happened.

There was some kind of slippery substance on the floor that Iceland obviously slid right through, resulting in him slamming into a cellophane wrapped doorframe. Lucas stood by laughing.

"Lucas! I'm going to kill you!" Emil says trying to stand up to grab his brother, but slipping to the floor again.

Norway just sits down on the stair railing and slides down to safety.

You go over to your boyfriend avoiding falling yourself. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. Though I guess it isn't as safe here as we thought."

"What is this stuff anyway?" You say looking at the slippery sludge covering the floor.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" You heard Denmark scream from his room.

He ran out into the hall way with an empty plastic bottle. "All my hair gel is gone!"

"Well that answers that."

"Lucas used it on the floor, for a prank." Iceland told the Dane.

"Hhhhhuuuuuuhhh!? No fair! He owes me a whole new bottle then!"

"Let's go see if we can find him." You say trotting down the stairs, and upon reaching the bottom step you felt yourself quickly lifted into the air in a net. "AAAAHHHH! Norway!"

Emil and Mathias rushed over to the top of the stairs to find you at the other end of the staircase in a net hanging from the ceiling. "Uh, could you guys help me out?" You plead looking at their confused stricken faces.

"Åh, min gud!" Denmark exclaimed running down the stairs.

"Lucas verður heppinn ef ég hringi ekki hálsinn!" Iceland said following after him.

"What do we do!?" Denmark said looking at you.

"Is there a rope that's holding me up?" You ask. "Slowly lower it so I don't hit the floor."

Mathias began to hastily untie the knot at the base, almost letting you slam to the floor, luckily Emil held the top of the rope since Denmark didn't pay attention to all of what you said.

Your boyfriend then carefully lowered you to the floor, and helped you out of the tangled mess of the net. "I thought that he was going to pull pranks on the other European nations today." He said glaring in what direction he figured he could have went.

You halfhearted lay chuckled, still a little bit annoyed at the net prank. "Maybe we can turn the tables on him."

"YoooHoo!" Denmark shouted in agreement.

"Ok, but how are we going to prank the trickster?" Emil asked.

"Oh... I have a few ideas." You remarked slyly.

~~~

Lucas slowly entered the living room looking around for his siblings and for you. Since it was deathly silent, he figured everyone left the house to avoid any more of his tricks.

He smiled, it didn't matter his pranks had already worked. One prank for each.

He started up the stairs to his room, when he tripped over fishing wire. This covered him in thick chocolate pudding.

"Pudding!?" He laughed to himself.

"It looks like they got me back." He says standing and walking to the bathroom to wash off. As he walked up the stairs he noticed that there were no obnoxious laughing fits. 'It looks like they really did leave the house.' He thought.

He opened the bathroom door letting powdered sugar falling all over him, coating the dark pudding with a dusting. "Ahhh! Really a second layer, you guys?" He called out in case you were somehow staying silent.

The powdered sugar tickled his nose. "ACHOO!" He sneezed, now all he could smell was the sugary confectionate. He gave a disgruntled sigh, at least he would smell nice. He thought, running the hot water. He stripped from his pudding soaked clothing, and threw them in the back of the tub, and jumped under the hot running water.

Two minuets must have passed, before he smelled something... It smelled like, chicken soup.

He took a closer look at the hot water running out of the shower head. It was yellow, and the source of the chicken smell. "What the heck!?" He shouted.

You, your boyfriend, and Denmark were hiding in a nearby room snickering. "Come on let's get out of here before he gets out and finds us." You tell Emil, who was still stifling laughter.

"What about you Mathias? You coming?" You quietly ask him, as you hear Lucas unscrewing the shower head where you hid the broth block.

"Nah, I'll be ok, you two go." He says wiping his laughter tears

You grab Emil's hand and quietly as you can scurry down the stairs. When you hear the water shut off, you exit the house and shut the door.

You jump into your car and finally belt out your laughter you had been holding in.

"Oh my goodness! I wish I could have seen his face!" Emil laughed holding his stomach.

"He's going to smell horrible!" You laughed wiping your tears.

"Let's get out of here before he gets us!" Emil said catching his breath, and peeling out of the driveway.

"This has actually been a great April Fools' Day." You tell him.

"You know what? You're right!" Your boyfriend replied looking at you with a smile.
