Work Text:
Clay added Alex and Tony to the conversation
Clay: I’m pranking Justin for April Fools Day and I need some ideas
Alex: and why exactly did you decide to do this the day before April fools day?
Clay: Because I heard Justin talking to Zach on the phone about pranking me tomorrow.
Tony: And so you’re saying that you that you’ve decided to retaliate by pranking him back?
Clay: That’s exactly what I’m saying
Tony: If Justin asks, tell him I wasn’t apart of this.
Alex: cover his room with posters of a movie he hates and then fill his room with cups full of water
Tony: That’s evil
Clay: Alex
Clay: You’re a genius
~~~~~~~~~~
Alex: i could come over to help if you want
Clay: Sure
Clay: I have all the supplies we need
Clay: Except for the posters, but we can look for some later.
Clay: How are you even going to convince your parents to stay over though?
Alex: i’ll tell them we have a project and that you’re also driving me to school.
Alex: im technically not lying so...
Clay: Would your parents say yes?
Clay: Also just so you know, Zach gets kinda jealous when I drive you to school
Alex: shut up
Clay: It’s true!
Clay: He pretends to not be but it’s obvious
Alex: can we just go back to talking about evil prank ideas
Clay: alright
Alex: i just asked my parents a while ago if could stay over. they said yeah.
Alex: they trust you.
Clay: Why in the world would they trust me?
Clay: I am literally the most irresponsible person on this planet
Alex: you’re not THAT bad
Clay: When I was younger I wanted to be a detective
Clay: so I tried to turn my room into a crime scene and used ketchup as blood.
Alex: ....
Alex: ok fair point
Alex: how did you even do that?
Clay: Long story.
~~~~~~~~~~
Alex: can we try pranking Zach too?
Alex: cause im like 99% sure he’ll be pranking us too along with Justin
Clay: How would we do that?
Alex: put a bunch of sticky notes on his car
Clay: How much would it cost?
Alex: uh
Alex: we’ll worry about that later
~~~~~~~~~~
Clay: I bought the sticky notes
Alex: we can start working on it 7 later today.
Alex: that’s when he has dinner with his family
Clay: Ok
Clay: If you haven’t noticed, Zach likes you a lot.
Alex: if you continue talking about Zach, I’ll talk to you about Sheri.
Alex: And I’ll get Justin and Tony to team up with me
Clay: Okay fine
Clay: You win.
