TRIGGER WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS IF FOOD PRACTICAL JOKES ARE NOT YOUR THING!

Astor slowly, excruciatingly slowly, pushed open the door to the common room of her training dorm. So far so good--nobody had jumped out at her, nothing had fallen on her, no foam darts had been fired at her augmentations. She remembered last year, when there had been a huge bucket of partially-whipped cream balanced on the top of the door. She had been the first one through, and the resulting mess had taken over an hour to clean off of her scales. She was glad she hadn't had her augments back then; it would have taken FOREVER to get them cleaned up and functioning properly again. But so far, this April Fools Day seemed pretty tame.

Good. That meant that her planned revenge against the other five members of her cohort might actually succeed.

She set the pizza boxes she was carrying (from Luc's cafe, of course!) on the low main table. She had ordered enough for everyone, and told everyone it was to celebrate their upcoming graduation. Most of them were training to teach the hatchlings after graduation, although Caedra said she might join the diplomatic corps, and Snowflake had said she was considering going to work directly for The Bossdad.

Astor opened the first box, just to take a peek. Luc had really outdone himself; he had been in on her plan since the Great Whipped Cream Disaster, and his part had been to create absolutely edible and very tasty pizzas that looked like they were covered in slime, sludge, stink bugs, harpy feathers, dirt, mold, eggshells, and other things inedible or revolting to a dragon. She selected a piece that looked like worms and pond scum, but was really chorizo and peppers, and settled herself into her favorite beanbag chair and waited for the others to arrive.

Aegia and Caedra were the first in. "Pizza from Luc's?? You are spoiling us!" Aegia said, eyes focused on the table. She was reaching for the nearest box as Astor raised the first slice to her mouth, and Caedra shrieked "OH MY STORMDAD!!! YOU CAN'T EAT THAT!!!" and tried to slap the awful-looking slice out of Astor's claws. Astor dodged easily.

Astor just smiled, and hummed to herself happily as the spicy sausage caused her nose to run, and the still-crisp peppers crunched in her teeth.

Both Caedra and Aegia stared, horrified, as she took another bite, and by the third Caedra had figured out that it was a trick.

"Nice. That to pay us back for last year?"

"Yep."

"What are they really?" Caedra asked.

"This one is pepper and chorizo, the second box is ham and pineapple (Caedra perked up at this, while Aegia faked gagging sounds), and the third is the all-veg all-everything option."

Aegia snickered evilly to herself and grabbed a vegetarian slice, while Caedra chose the ham and pineapple. They could hear Snowflake, Ava, and Findus coming down the hall, and they waited, poised to take a bite, until the last 3 victims arrived....
