April Fools Day. David hated it this year before, which in all actuality, was the first year he'd ever experienced it. He had just moved in with Regina and Henry, the young teen was obsessed playing silly pranks on David the entire day. Regina had spent many moments laughing at him, like when he bit into a doughnut that was supposed to be custard fill, but it had mayonnaise, when he'd eaten an oreo that had toothpaste instead of the sugary cream filling.

But, this year, as the hours dwindled on March 31st, David made plans. Regina and Henry had went to bed early, so he snuck into Henry's room and grabbed all of Henry's action figures. There weren't as many as he had before, so he headed downstairs to the rec room, where they also stored things, and found a storage tote with many more. Chuckling, he carried the tote back to the main floor and set it down on one of the dining room chairs. "This is going to be fun," he chuckled.

The next morning, Regina woke up with David arms around her. Turning in his embrace, she pressed a kiss to his lips and whispered, "Time to get up, dear."

David was easy to wake up, eyes opening as he tugged Regina closer. "Good morning," David answered, smiling brightly at her. "I'll go make breakfast, and get Henry up while you shower."

"Okay", she breathed happily, kissing him again, sitting up. Regina got out of bed, and went to the bathroom, when David saw the light come on, he got up as well, heading towards Henry's room.

"Time to get up, Henry." He whispered, pulling open the curtains. It took him a couple of tries, but Henry finally grumbled and climbed out of his bed, heading towards the bathroom as David went downstairs.

Regina brushed her teeth, then got into the shower, hot water streaming over her. She reaches for the bottle that says 'Shampoo' dumping some into her hands, rubbing it through her hair. It wasn't lathering property, so she rinsed it out, and picked up the bottle again, pouring more into her hands. It came out thick and creamy, so she checked to make sure she didn't have the bottle of conditioner. The label clearly read that it was shampoo, so she frowned, then rinsed off her hand and picked up the bottle of conditioner. Sighing heavily, Regina popped the cap and pour some into her hands, and sure enough, it was her shampoo. She grumbled slightly at David's prank, then continue on with her shower.

Once she was done, she did her hair and makeup, dressed in a blue dress she knew David loved, then reached for the box with her favorite heels. One was missing, so she frowned again, replacing the box with another one. Regina quickly checked every shoe box she had, only to find every left shoe missing.

Heaving another sigh, she pull all the lids back, only to pull out the first right shoe, she had gone for, then carried it out of the room to head downstairs. Along the way, she notice every picture on the wall along the staircase was flipped upside down. Biting back a smirk, she continued downstairs, walking straight into the kitchen to see Henry and David smirking at her. "I'm not amused", she muttered, holding up her shoe. "Where is it?"

"Where is what?" David asked, chuckling through his words.

"You are such a child," Regina growled, though she was biting back a grin of her own. "I hope you were at least delicate with my shoes. They're precious."

Moving to her, David pressed a kiss to her temple, then headed to the front closet, where each left shoe was laid nicely. He picked up the one she needed and carried it back to her.

"Are we going to eat breakfast in the dining room, like civil human beings?" Regina asked, making it clear that it was not an option.

Henry laughed, looking up from his cereal and saying, "Mom, I really don't think you want to do that."
