“Can you believe Joel? He just asked me if I wanted to go flush the toilet with him, so the water in the shower would instantly turn freezing cold, pissing off Karin.” Aaron explained while struggling with a can of skinned tomatoes.
“He was acting so strange, this must be the future him who used a time machine to travel back here from the future to do stupid shit just because he can, the Joel Morron we know is probably bound and gagged in his bedroom waiting to be saved.”, Rachel said while she opened the can for Aaron.
There was a scream coming from the bathroom on the floor above them, and not long after that Joel entered the living room laughing.
They ignored him and continued preparing dinner while Joel rubbed shoe shine on the inside of the telephone next to the cough even though nobody ever used since mobile phones were born.
“We should check his room.”, Rachel whispered into Aaron’s ear and without a word they both walked up the stairs unnoticed and went into Aaron’s room.
“I’ll look for his time machine device, you look if the real Joel is in the closet or something.”, Aaron said while he began searching the drawers of Joel’s desk.
Rachel opened the closet door and found nothing but a pile of clothes, and Aaron only found some dirty magazines.
“What’s this?” Rachel said while picking up a strange looking handheld device from the desk.
“That must be his time portal machine thing.”, Aaron said.
They studied it and were careful not to press the red button on top.
“Put that down!” Joel yelled who was standing behind them.
“And put down my motocross racing magazines!” Joel added with an angry look on his face.
“What did you do with our Joel, Joel!” Aaron yelled back.
Joel looked confused and asked, “What are you talking about?”
“We know you are from the future and tied up Joel somewhere.”, Rachel said while pointing at him with the device.
“No thats my motorized spaghetti fork, it has a motor inside and if you press the button it rotates.”, Joel explained.
“But why are you acting so strange? With these lame pranks.”, Rachel asked.
“Yeah! We want our old and nerdy Joel back asap!” Aaron yelled while waving the magazines in front of him.
“Today’s April first!” Joel yelled.
Aaron and Rachel looked at each other feeling stupid the apologized, “Sorry, Joel.”
They placed the magazines back in the drawer and handed Joel the device and went back down stairs.
Joel placed the device in his pocket and followed them downstairs.
Not long after that Karin came walking down the stairs in her bathrobe, “Which asshole turned on the cold water?” she asked.
Rachel looked over her shoulder while she was pouring the pan with the pasta into the colander in the sink, “Joel.”
“Joel.”, Aaron said, while arranging dinner plates on the table.
Joel was sitting on the cough holding a button on all the remotes, trying to drain all the batteries.
Moments later dinner was ready and they all sat at a big table eating their pasta.
“So you think your funny huh, Joel?” Karin remarked.
Joel was about to eat his pasta holding the device in one hand, “Fooled you! April fools!” He yelled at them and pressed the red button on top.
There was a bright flash and he was zapped back to 2010 together with the plate of spaghetti.
Joel came home right after that, when they asked him where he had been he said he couldnt remember and just woke up in the bushes at the playground, neighborhood mothers kicked his ass with their handbags thinking he was a pervert spying on their kids.
They never told Joel about what had happened on their weekly pasta day.
And to this day they still fall for pranks future Joel had left behind for them.
