How do you prank a prankster?

Do you just hit them with their own pranks? Or do you make one from scratch.
"Bbdubs, You know who else we should prank?" Tango asked.
"Who? Oh! Brian?"
"Yea! Doesn't he get scared easily?"
"Mhm, perfect target."

How is Grian scared easily exactly?
Well. Unlike most people, Grian suffered an abusive childhood, glass bottles thrown at him, getting told off when slamming the door to hard and getting yelled at.
Despite his horrible past, people used his trauma as an excuse to target him for pranks.

Grian was in the shopping district with impulse, arguing if Grian should get half of the property of impulse's prismarine shop.
Everything was going smoothly until the ground behind Grian suddenly cracked, he shook it off until the boomers planted another batch of TNT under the two.
BAM.
The TNT exploded the ground of impulse's shop, causing the chests to blow up and scatter the blocks of  prismarine into shards, falling from the sky.
Impulse quickly grabbed a spare umbrella he had in his inventory and held it over them so they wouldn't get cut by the shards.
Impulse lifted his hand to pull Grian under the umbrella more but saw him trembling.
"Grian? Are you alright? Did you get cut?" Impulse asked, using his non dominant hand to lift his head up to his own. Impulse saw the tears rolling down his face, his skin going pale and trembling. It was obvious he was scared.
When impulse tried to get his communicator out and call for help, suddenly another TNT exploded bellow them, breaking the ground.
Bbdubs' eyes widened in horror as he looked down the see Grian and impulse, falling into a cave. "Impulse?!" He yelled, looking down.
"Don't worry buddy we'll get you out!" Bbdubs informed, grabbing his communicator. "Bbdubs wait- please.. bring me some bandages and instant health potion..." Impulse asked.
"Huh? Why, it doesn't look like you have any wounds,"
"My arms broken."
"I'll go get them right now." He said as he flew off.

Impulse sighed, his left arm broken and bruised on his right, still getting up and looking for Grian.
"Grian?? Hello??" He yelled down the caves system, only to see Grian sitting near a mineshaft, trembling with his hands covering his ears.
"Grian? Are you-" Impulse froze up, Inching closer to Grian, staring at the blood flowing down from his ears.
Impulse rushed to Grian. "Grian!? "Grian wake up.. Wake up..." Impulse cried, shaking him. Still, he wouldn't wake up. Impulse didn't want his friend to die so he quickly, ripped part of his shirt and wrapped it around his bleeding wounds, carrying Grian back to where you could see the light.

Soon enough, Bbdubs brought an ender pearl, bandages and several instant health potions, along with Xisuma.

Xisuma calmly handed impulse a blanket and carried Grian onto a hospital bed

—

Months later, Grian finally woke up. Hermits were surrounding him as well as an injured impulse sitting near him with a cast on. They we're inside BBdubs' and Doc's starter base. 

"Grian!! You're awake!" Mumbo cheered, hugging him joyfully. 
Luckily, Grian could hear again. While he was "sleeping" They preformed surgery on his ears. It helped. Not a lot, but it still helped. 
"Who.. who are you?" Grian questioned, pushing Mumbo away. 
"Excuse me..?" Mumbo trembled. The Redstoner felt his heart fall and shatter. A crowd formed behind the two, shocked out of their minds. 
"Impulse, who are these people?" Grian asked, shaking the hermit to wake up. 
"Huh- Oh, that's Mumbo, That's False, Him in the green shirt is iskall, The Bee fangirl is Xisuma, Flower queen is stress, Ice queen is-" 
"Wait what-? How do you know them? Are they your friends?"
"Hold on, Grian do you not remember them? Tell me who you can remember." 
"I remember you and... Bbdubs i'm pretty sure. I don't remember having a friend called Mumbo though." 
"Grian, Grian.. do you remember Sahara?" Iskall chipped in. 
"Sa.. hara? Hm. not ringing a bell, no." 
"G.. do you remember our adventures?" Ren asked, trying not to burst into tears. 
"No? I... I don't remember." 
"Haha.. Do you remember when you climbed a tree to get an apple only for me to catch you when you fell? The time where we helped you dig a hole under area 55? The time machine.. the-" 
"That's enough Ren, c'mon. Lets.. go back home." Xisuma sighed, leading him back. 
"Grian you and impulse will stay with me until you guys get better alright?" 
Grian shivered in fear and disgust as he remembered the tragedy once more. "Oh Okay." 
 
- Midnight - 

Grian and impulse we're staying on the couch while bbdubs was upstairs.
Bbdubs woke up to his phone ringing, getting up and answering it. 
"What do you want at this hour-" Bbdubs yawned, turning on a light. 
"Nothing much but-" Mumbo said. 
"Hold on, I'm uhm... going to go outside so i don't wake the others up."
"Ah, alright."
...
"I'm outside now, go on."
"I'll just ask you for a quick favor alright..?"
"what is it. "
"Can you.. help me?" 
"Just get to the point< I want to go back to sleep."
"Okay. Can you help me get Grian's memory back?"
"And how exactly are we supposed to do that?"

Grian heard the two bickering and decided to walk towards them, eavesdropping on the conversation out of curiosity.

"I don't know! Maybe Make him hang out with hermits more, remind him constantly- Look, I'm not sure how but you saw how miserable Ren was, how disappointed Xisuma was. Don't you think we should at least attempt to make him remember at least one of us?"
"Woah, woah calm down."  
"Bbdubs i miss him. And i'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who does."
"Mumbo we can't just magically get the old grian back it's going to take some time before we fix him!" 
"F..Fix me?" Grian mumbled. 
Bbdubs turned his back, looking back at the builder, realizing what he just said. 
"Grian- Grian wait-" 
Grian dragged his IV with him, backing up from Bbdubs.
      Mumbo added Xisuma to the call
"Bbdubs, just figured something out," Xisuma informed. 
Bbdubs sighed, letting go of Grian,"What is it Xisuma."
"Grian can only remember tragedy's. That's why he can remember you and impulse, You guys were there during the explosion." 
"Okay? And how exactly is that information relevant on helping Grian remember." 
"Potions? Not sure."
"Bbdubs. Why did Grian sound scared when you said you'd fix him earlier?" Mumbo questioned. 
"What?" Xisuma asked. 
"I gotta go." Bbdubs said, dropping his communicator and following the trail the wheels of the IV stand made. "Grian? Hello?" 

Grian was hiding under a cliff, shaking from the cold as his mind overflows with thoughts of past situations. Bbdubs soon found him and handed him his jacket.
"Bbdubs can we stay here for a sec?" 
"Uh sure." Bbdubs agreed, sitting beside him. 
"Bbdubs why can't I remember?" 
"well.. When you were hospitalized, Xisuma and Doc figured out you had amnesia. Now amnesia can be caused by many different ways but for you, it was caused by a traumatic event."
"How do i fix myself..?" 
"What?"
"I want to remember bbdubs. I want to recover." 
"Amnesia is usually temporary and fixes itself, i'm pretty sure you'll remember soon." 
"How long is soon?"
"Tomorrow. I'm putting you up for Psychotherapy as for it can help some patients recall memories that have been forgotten." 
The builder's face lit up as he smiled. "Thank you bbdubs." 
"No problem G. Once you remember promise me you won't forget about me alright?"
"I promise!"
