The Mad Scientist Prank War

         Two mad scientists Doctor Mutation and Doctor Dimension were in a prank war. For years they would try to outdo each other on April Fools. Last year Doctor Mutation even went so far as to make a mindless clone of one of Doctor Dimension's loved ones. Though Doctor Dimension was shocked he was not fooled as it was expected. Over the many years the pranks got more elaborate, with hallucinogenics and freeze rays fired at each others labs. But due to them knowing it was April Fools defenses to the pranks were created.

         But Doctor Dimension worked hard to circumvent this. He created a time machine. Being a mad scientist he didn't make it to change the world, he just wanted to catch Doctor Mutation off guard. There was a truce never to prank outside of the date of April Fools. But he would simply, from months before, put an unknowing rival into the time machine and prank him!

        He invited his rival, and friend, over to dinner. As truly that's what they were. Mad scientists could manage something like a monstrously evil prank war and still maintain a peaceful friendship. The elevator up to his dining room was replaced with the time machine(which he adjusted into an elevator all so they would arrive in the dining room on April Fools).

       Doctor Dimension turned to his rival and laughed, “April Fools!” He pulled out a gun that shot a purple fluid that would stick to anyone then make them stink for weeks. But suddenly a force field surrounded Doctor Mutation. Somehow he expected it.

       “Remember no pranks outside of April Fools.” He smiled.

       Doctor Dimension responded, “But I built a time machine.”

       “Actually, that was my prank. I've sent robots that I've personally piloted to alter the clocks around your house and lab for the years you've been testing that machine to make you think you built a time machine.”

        “All that work...”

         Doctor Mutation laughed a good laugh, something atypical of a mad scientist. “It took me a lot of time too y'know. Let's stop this prank war. We should be terrorizing the populace, not our fellow mad scientists!”

Doctor Dimension smiled. “You're right. Wanna help me built a death ray?”

Mutation nodded. “Of course friend.”
