Word count: 2K

Sometimes you plan something for so long, and in such detail, it's almost destined to go wrong. Matthew Gray had arranged every minute of his April's fool joke for his girlfriend. He had set everything, actors had been hired, friends had been warned.

It was meant to be a disaster from day one. Even Paget and Shemar tried to stop him. But he didn't listen.

- Come on! it's a prank! (Y/N) is gonna love it!- Matthew chuckled bounding from foot to foot like a kid, excited with the idea, as his co-stars looked at him in disbelief.

- I really doubt it- Paget shook her head with a heavy sigh- I actually think you are going to be single by the end of April 1st

- Yes man, she is cool and funny, but what you are planning to do is too much

- You don't know her, Shemar!

- I know women, Matthew- the actor tapped on Gubler's back a few times and sighed- And she is going to hate you

- I agree!- Paget stood up and looked at her friend- Just don't come crying when it all burst on your face, 'cos all I'm going to say is "Told you so".

Of course, Matthew Gray Gubler dismissed the warnings and continued with his plan. He was sure his idea was the best April 1st joke ever.

If only he had known.

(Y/N) was coming out of the shower, on what was going to be one of the most chaotic April 1st's mornings in the history of humankind, when she heard the phone. She had five missing calls from an unknown number. That was odd.

- Hello? Miss (Y/N) (Y/L/N)?

- Yes, who is this?

- My name is Jen Callahan, I'm calling you 'cos you are listed as the emergency contact of Matthew Gray Gubler

Those words are enough to make anyone panic. She held the phone tight and took a deep breath, feeling everything around her spinning.

- What happened?

- There was an accident on the set, listen, we need you to come right away, he is in surgery right now

- Surgery?? why??- (Y/N) yelled in shock

- As far as they told me, there was an unexpected problem with one of the props and he has most of his legs and back burned, apparently, they are third-degree burns, we need you to come

- I'll be right there!

(Y/N) got dressed as fast as possible, grabbed the car keys, and rushed out of the house. Even for Matthew, faking a serious accident just for a prank was too much. Right? Right.

- Did she buy it?- Gubler stood smiling next to the nurse he had asked for help pranking his girlfriend. They were both standing at the front desk of the hospital, and the actor could hardly hide his excitement.

- She freaked out

- Thank you so much, Anna- he nearly jumped on his spot, like the manchild he was, as the woman next to him sighed and crossed her arms on her chest
