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.
