AN: Hey guys, I'm back after a long hiatus. I been working on things outside of fanfiction like YouTube, drawing etc. I mean don't get me wrong I still been reading and you can find me in the review section of popular or just completely random fanfics, I just haven't been writing. But I actually came up with a new idea a few nights ago and I just had to write a story.

Now I can definitely say that my skills writing fanfics have actually improved dramatically. And I'm going to show you I've improved in this Lincoln x Luan story. And no it is not one of those type of fanfictions. Anyways enjoy.

P.S. I wanted to keep this story in the timeline of the show where Ronnie Anne and Bobby are still in Royal Woods.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Loud House.

April 1st...otherwise known as April Fool's Day. A day where playing simple, harmless pranks on friends and family members is okay. Everyone has a laugh on April Fools because it is a fun time. No matter who you are. Or should I say almost everybody. Everybody who doesn't have a prank obsessed, joke cracking for a daughter or sister that is. Other than that small factor, most people enjoy this supposed holiday.

It's sort of like, if you take the scary feeling of the purge, and mix that with harmless jokes, banter, and pranks. Now take that description, and multiply that by ten. That's what it's like to be around Luan when it's April Fool's. You're better off going off the radar for twenty fours until April 2nd. In the Loud house, there is now escaping April Fools day. It doesn't matter who you are, if you step on the Loud property on April 1st, it's fair game. On top of that, Luan Loud has a long track record of going overboard with her pranks. One of those April Fool's she had her father Lynn Sr buy out a vacant hotel, how did they get the money for that? I really don't know. Then have him sell out his own family for Luan's destructive pranks. Even though they got back at her for that, it seems like every year she gets worse and no one does anything.

It was a regular April Fool's for the Louds, and by normal, that means preparing for prank apocalypse that was will soon be upon them. Even though this April Fool's was on a school day, they have to be aware and prepared at all times. Even if that means almost being late to school to ensure your own safety.

"Lincoln hurry up, we were supposed to be out of the door literally five minutes ago for school!" Lori called him from the bottom of the steps.

"Coming down now!" He replied back from his room.

"And where is everyone else?" She asked herself "Lynn! Luan! Luna! Leni! You guys need to get down here for school!"

"I need to get all my hockey gear for practice! Give me a few minutes!" Lynn called from her room.

"I have to restring my guitar!" She called out as well.

"You can do that later Luna! We have to go to school."

"If I be late because of you, I'm going to make sure you're never late again Lincoln!" Lori half threatened. "Lynn, Luan, Luna, Leni that means you too!"

With a few banging noises, and panicked hurries, The rest of Lori's siblings scurried past her to get to their seats of the van. Still being cautious if there were any booby traps.

Lynn took out her hockey stick to poke some of the open seats near the twins, Lucy, and Lisa. Accidentally poking their sisters with the long piece of wood.

"Hey watch where you're poking that thing junior!" Lola complained.

"Sorry, have to be sure if there's no traps in here."

"Wait, there could be traps?!" Leni squealed.

All the passengers in the van quickly lifted up their feet to make sure nothing like rats, mice, or racoons would maul them if there was any.

"Luan what did you put in here?! It better not be another die pack! This is the only clean pageant gown I got!" Lola whined.

Lincoln started backpedaling away from the van "I think I'll just walk to school today."

Everyone started to make a big fuss about what could be in that van. Everyone except Lori and Luan. Lori looked like she was about to blow her top considering they haven't even left the driveway of the house to go to their schools. Luan however, was just frustrated considering she didn't plant anything in the van.

"Guys.."

"I'm not getting in that van dude, I'd rather walk with Lincoln!" Luna crossed her arms.

"Same here!" Lynn agreed as well.

"Guys…" Luan started with a frustrated tone.

"You guys need to make a decision, because if I'm late, I'M NOT GONNA BE HAPPY!" Lori started to lose her cool.

"GUYS!" Luan caught their attention. "I didn't put anything in the van because I'm not participating in April Fool's this year."

They all looked confused.

"I didn't have time to prepare for April Fool's this year, so I'm sitting out this year."

"So no pranks?" Lincoln asked.

Luan simply nodded no.

"Then what are we standing around for? Let's go!" Lori

"I got dibs on the sticky seat!" Lynn shouted getting her first choice of the remaining seats while the others got in the other remaining seats. Not caring which seat they get, just only caring about getting to school on time.

Some people enjoy school, few absolutely love schools, but most people hate it. Having to wake up at around 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning, just learn about topics and all type of stuff that most of it is based on OPINIONS. Then you have to add in the fact that you have to deal with idiots in your class and or school that will just get on your nerves and give you migraines and headaches. But what makes this school day in particular so much worse, was because all of the Louds, minus Luan, was thinking about one question…

Was Luan lying about not pranking this April Fool's?

That's what she could be doing. Trying to calm them down and mess with their minds so they could let their guard down. It could be a trap. Key word is COULD. Luan has a long track record of going all out for pranks on April Fool's or just in the general idea of pranking. And there must be something seriously wrong with her if she is not gonna prank on a day that is ment for pranks.

At Lincoln's school, the love of pranks was in the air. Lots of pranks were being given, and they were being received. From something so simple as tricking people into thinking they got a stain on their shirt, to tricking people into smelling people's flowers that are disguised to look like flowers, but are water squirters instead. As him and his younger sisters split off to go to their classes they both can tell everyone is enjoying themselves on this holiday. The male Loud child went into his classroom and went to his section of the classroom where all of his friends are with.

"Hey guys." Lincoln said getting their attention.

Clyde looked up. "Lincoln I need you to tear down this school system and build a new school system, I want to have all A's this quarter."

Lincoln chuckled as he started to sit down, "I'm gonna have to if I can't figure out how to do these science prob-"

Lincoln was interrupted by a whoopie cushion that was placed in his seat. Making his friends and other classmates snicker and laugh at the fake flatulence that occured in the classroom. Lincoln's cheeks started to become red from the slight embarrassment, but it was just all fun in games. He lifted his rear end up and removed the source of the immature farting, and put it on the floor.

"So who's the mastermind behind this one?" Lincoln asked his group of friends.

"This one's on me Linc." Rusty raised his hand.

"It's cool, it is the season for it am I right?"

"It sure is." Liam said. He then notices that Lincoln is unscathed coming into school on April 1st. "Say Lincoln, you came to school without a scratch on you. What's the deal?"

"My sister Luan said that she didn't have any pranks planned this year."

"And you actually believed that?" Clyde raised an eyebrow.

"Hey if she said she wasn't going to pull any pranks on us this year, than we should consider this as a get out of jail card."

"I'm just saying that you should keep a close on Luan, because who knows what she has planned if she changed her mind." Clyde pointed out.

"Trust me, I know Luan enough to know when she's lying or not."

"Okay if you say so."

As they day was slowly but surely progressing, everyone was going ballistic on each other with pranks. Some even went the extra mile to get at each other. While some kids even go that far to booby trap their friends lockers with garbage. One boy pulled a prank on his teacher by tying his shoelaces together. Causing him to fall, making the whole classroom laugh. Someone even threw pies at people during their lunch period.

Needless to say that he got a couple weeks detention for making a huge mess in the cafeteria and getting pie on everyone. But to him it was worth it. Even though almost everyone got their clothes stained with whip cream and pie ingredients, everyone had a laugh. At least all for one.

Luan

Something was stirring in Luan's stomach, and she doesn't know what it is. It couldn't have been the food she ate at lunch, or the breakfast she had that morning, but it felt like something was missing to her. She then started to notice everyone around her. They all were doing something that she hasn't done all day. And that was laugh. She hasn't laughed all day on her favorite holiday.

And many have asked her if she was doing any pranks. And she said she hadn't planned to do any pranks. But then again, she didn't need to plan out any pranks before hand. Luan could piece together a prank in a jiffy. And that gives her a last minute prank idea…

The end of the day came for all of the Louds. Lori had picked up all of her siblings from school. Well except for Lynn, Lola, and Lucy. Lynn, who had went with her friend Polly Pain to their kickboxing class after school, said she would just walk home after they were done in a couple of hours. Lola had a quick pageant meeting that she had to go to. And Lucy met with Haiku and her club members to share poems and discuss the difference between emos and goths. So Lori agreed to pick the both of them up once they were done.

The parents of course found their own ways of getting back to the house so they didn't have to worry about Lori coming to get them. When everyone came into the house, everything was the same. Nothing was out of place, or in place to be a trap or a prank. They all were very careful of their movements. Still being aware if there were any pranks. Once the coast was clear and everything seemed safe they went off to do their homework and then do their other antics. Not knowing what the prankster has in mind.

The parents on the other hand, pretty much went in their rooms and never came out. Taking food with them and toiletries just in case. They were THAT afraid of Luan's pranks that were willing to lock themselves in their rooms just like all the other times April Fool's came around. Which really isn't a surprise to ANYONE at this point. Luan couldn't setup any pranks during the day when everyone was awake and about. She had to wait when everyone was either asleep, or when noone was around. And that pretty much throws the second option out the window. So she had no other choice but to wait when everyone was asleep to set up her plan.

As nightfall comes, Everyone starts to head to bed to start a new day that ISN'T April 1st. At this time, Lynn, Lola, Lucy already got back from their after school activities. Lynn told Lori and her parents that she was going to another class tomorrow after school, so there was no need waiting to get her. Lola and Lucy doesn't have anything planned after school until later in the week, so they can get picked up right after school. Lynn was tired from all the punching, kicking, and sweating from her kickboxing class. And she needs to go back tomorrow. She was even considering taking Lincoln with her. To the young boy's response, he said he'll think about it, and get back to her on that in the morning. Giving him time to decide, she immediately headed towards the showers to clean herself. Then the line for the bathroom started to form with other inhabitants of the house.

After everyone freshened up, they all went to bed to start a new day. As everyone managed to fall asleep into a deep sleep, Luan waited until everyone was sleeping for sure. Luan smirked and quietly got out of bed and grabbed the materials to make this prank a good one. After about 30 minutes, she tiptoed through the halls and did her best to quietly make the traps downstairs. After about 10 minutes, she had it all setup. Thankfully no one came out of their room to catch her.

This prank consisted of a trip cable that's at the bottom of the corridor of the kitchen. This will have the victim slip and fall into the greased up floor and slide across the floor into the refrigerator. Then, there was a bucket full of ice water on top of the refrigerator that will hopefully fall onto the victim. It may seem like a small prank, but it's something rather than nothing. So now it was only a matter of waiting. She hid behind the sofa downstairs and started to wait.

Luan waited for about 20 minutes and the only thing people in the house came out of their rooms for is to use the bathroom. She started to grow a little frustrated after a while. It was sort of like fishing for a couple hours and don't get anything but a nibble. You start to lose your patience after a while. But then she heard a door upstairs open and close. Then she heard light footsteps coming down the steps.

It was her brother.

He must be going downstairs to get a midnight snack or water or something. As he was rubbing his eyes as he went down to the bottom of the steps. He made a left to go into the kitchen to get himself a snack. Since his vision was still blurry and not fully seeing everything around him, he didn't see the trip cable at the ankle level of his feet.

"I wonder if there is still any chocolate cake left..." He muttered to himself.

Still walking at normal speed, he tripped over the cable leading into the kitchen. He fell face first onto the greased floor and slid from the corridor, into the refrigerator like Luan had planned. Causing him to hit his eye on his fist that tried to break his fall on the floor so hard, he managed to damage and blacken his left eye, causing him to scream in pain. As the boy slid on the floor, He then slammed into the fridge head first, which sent a terrible pain into his head because of the speed he picked up as he was sliding on the floor. Lincoln's vision started to turn blurry and black as his left eye started to swell shut from the pain. And to make things worse, the fridge started to rock back and forth, sending the bucket falling onto his head. Splashing the cold, melted ice water onto his head. The side of the bucket hit his head first as he started to try and get back up. Then he cold water spilled all over him. Sending the only male sibling of the house chills throughout his body.

The boy is now collapsed on his elbows and knees, struggling to get up. As Lincoln was barely able to stand, the fridge finally rocked back and forth enough to finally fall down onto one side. The fridge started to fall forward and it fell right on top of Lincoln. One of his arms twisted back the in the wrong direction and soon eventually snapped as soon as he was flattened by the force and weight of the refrigerator. Knocking him out completely.

Luan heard all the noise and went into the kitchen to gloat about her pranks as she normally do, but the joke died in her throat as she saw her brother's limp, lifeless body underneath a whole refrigerator.

"Lincoln?"

No answer

She knelt down and shook her brother's body "Lincoln are you okay?"

Still no answer

Luan's heart start to race as she is still trying to get a response out of her knocked out brother. Multiple members of the family started to awaken from the all the noise coming from downstairs. Their parents most of her younger and older sisters came into the kitchen and saw a sight that made them question whether or not this was all a bad dream. Some of them covered their mouths in utter shock as they saw Lincoln's unresponsive body under a 250 pound refrigerator on top of him.

"Oh my god...LINCOLN!" Rita squealed.

Lynn Sr ran to his aid trying their best to lift the refrigerator off of this son. Lynn Jr doing the same. Right after getting the large kitchen appliance off of him, they soon discover that he was unconscious, and one of his arms is broken. It was clear he needed medical attention right this second. And Luan was standing back just wondering one thing…

'It was only supposed to be a harmless prank. How did it go so wrong?'

AN: Oh my god I finished just in time! I didn't think I would considering so many things popped up while writing this from 2 weeks ago, until now. Like a 6 to 7 page research paper for my history class, and to multiple BS midterms for classes I had to study for. But since I finished all of them, AND I'm on spring break, I may as well make a return.

And also do you like the length of this chapter? Was it still too short? Or just right. Like I said before, I'm going to make all my chapters somewhere between 2,000 and 8,000 words from now on. So let me know how you about this April Fool's story idea I came up with.
