SERIES/UNIVERSE: SG-7

DISCLAIMERS: M7 characters belong to Trilogy, et al, SG-1 characters belong to Gekko, MGM, and Showtime. Adriana is mine ... don't mind if you borrow her, just ask first, give her back intact and give credit where credit is due. Mindy belongs to herself and my neighbors, though she still thinks my family and I belong to her.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Okay, y'all, this is my contribution to the April Fools' fic. Be gentle, I'm not that good with comical stories.


"Are you sure this is gonna work?"

JD glanced over his shoulder at his helper, not bothering to hide his annoyance. They were gonna get caught if she didn't shut up, and JD had no intention of getting caught before he was damn good and ready. His companion added huffily, "I was just asking! It just seems awful simple, that's all. When we play practical jokes on each other at college, we always plan everything out in detail."

"Yeah, well, simple is best. And he won't expect something this simple, that's why I got Adriana to help me out. Among a few others," JD replied. JD grinned, remembering how the eyes of the archaeologist lit up when JD asked her to help him plan a practical joke on Buck for April Fools. Ever since she and Vin announced their engagement just after Valentine's Day, Buck had driven both his younger sister and Vin absolutely nuts with his protective big brother routine.

Adriana's idea was almost ridiculously simple ... but it would work. She had convinced her friend Charlotte Richmond to help. JD didn't want to know how Adriana managed that, manage to persuade Charlotte to turn over her skimpiest, sexiest pair of underwear. It was bad enough that Adriana even had to ask someone else, since her own underpants were functional, rather than sexy. At least she had asked Charlotte, instead of Mary. Now that would have been humiliating!

JD turned his attention back to his best friend/big brother/mentor/pain in the ass. He had brought Louisa Perkins back to his place to ... get to know each other better. She had come with Rebecca and Paris Tanner, her mother and stepfather, for Vin's wedding. And since Mary Travis (soon to be Larabee) warned her quite bluntly of what would happen if she even looked in Vin's direction ... well ... Louisa Perkins may be what JD's companion called a man-eater, but she sure as hell wasn't a fool.

"Okay," JD murmured, an evil smile lighting his face, "it's showtime." On that cue, his companion turned on the 'siren,' and the pranksters watched in glee as the couple broke apart, each looking for their clothes. JD nearly fell on his ass laughing when Buck grabbed Charlotte's underwear, which were in the exact place he had left his own. Only JD had swapped the pairs while Buck and Louisa were asleep.

The camera missed nothing. Not Buck falling on his ass when he tried to put on Charlotte's underwear. Not Louisa's expression ... or Buck's face when he realized what he was now wearing. It was then that the two young people in the doorway made their presence known, each laughing helplessly. As Louisa grabbed for a blanket to cover herself, Lacey Tanner chirped with an evil smile, "Happy April Fools from JD, Lacey ... and Adriana! Paybacks really are hell, ain't they?"
