Worst April Fools Ever

So yesterday my girlfriend and my big brother punked me so hard for April Fools. Ali and I have been planning a trip to New Orleans over Easter to visit my big brother Thomas. We've bought plane tickets, booked a hotel and even planned some of the activities that we want to do while we are there. Ali talks about the trip EVERY DAY. Each day she says something along the lines of "Guess what!? only 12 more days until we go to New Orleans!!" Needless to say, I've gotten pretty excited after all the hype. I was extremely concerned yesterday when I got a text from my brother...

Thomas:Hey danny! I think i just heard something on the news about a fire at the airport down here. U know anything about that?
Danny (dumbass) to Thomas: Haven't heard! I'll get Ali to Google it
Danny to Ali: Thomas just texted me and said there was a fire at the airport there, can you google it?
Thomas: Yea, do that. I just caught the tail end of it.
Thomas:Did she say anything?
Danny to Thomas: Not yet...
Ali: What?! The internet is being gay but I'll try
Thomas: They said something about hundreds of flights cancelled' can that be right?
Danny to Thomas: Hmm if we get canceled I will be pissed!
Ali: There is a fire in the main terminal there... Not quite sure how it started but it looks bad.
Danny to Ali: Oh man! This better not affect our trip
Ali: It can't! That would be the worst ever.
Danny to Thomas: Ali said there is a fire in the main Terminal and it's bad
Thomas: Really? There should be another report on the radio at 7:30. Was anyone hurt?
Danny to Thomas: Think its still happening, she didn't say
Thomas: Hang on, somethings on now
Thomas: Oh shit! They said they might cancel flights 4 jazz fest! Thats 4 weeks away!
Danny to Thomas: Noooooooooo
Danny to Ali: Urgh, Thomas is listening to the radio he says even distant flights are getting canceled
Thomas: They said on the radio they evacuated most of the people but nobody will say what started it
Ali: I just read that too... Apparently the damage is pretty extensive =/ this is terrible...
Danny to Thomas: Anybody hurt?
Thomas: They're not sure. Said at least 6 sent to area hospitals'
Thomas: They usually do bigger news segments on the hours. We'll see what they say. What carrier are u on?
Danny to Ali: Maybe they can redirect us to somewhere nearby and Thomas could pick us up
Ali: That would be a lot to ask though... There isn't much detail on what happened, some people are in hospital. It looks terrible though...
Danny to Thomas: I wonder what they will do about our flight
Thomas: Do u know ur carrier?
Danny to Thomas: Not sure which, does it matter?
Danny to Ali: Which airline are we with?
Thomas: Ok, they're talking about it now
Thomas was being very elaborate with the hoax, giving me updates only a few minutes after 6:00 and 7:00 to make his "radio" ploy more believable.
Thomas: Said the fire started around 5:15 local time, had to redirect dozens of flights.
Ali: Air Canada
Danny to Thomas: Air canada apparently
Thomas: Said some eye witnesses thought it was a grease fire at the popeye's but investigators arent commenting
Okay, I've been to the New Orleans airport before, and I'm pretty sure there isn't a Popeye's Chicken restaurant there, so I should have realized at this point what was going on, but I didn't
Danny to Ali: Eyewitnesses say it was a grease fire at Popeye's... that makes it slightly funnier
Thomas: Do u know what terminal they use?
Danny to Thomas: No clue!
Thomas: I dont know either. Sounds like they're canceling a lot of flights tho
Thomas:Said the faa and fbi are investigating. They're worried about jazz fest flights
Danny to Thomas: I'm worried about the delicious chicken
Thomas: Lmao
Ali: And I just got the worst e-mail ever from Air Canada. Totally cancelled. Fuck!
Danny to Ali: FUCK
Ali: What the eff! Stupid Air Canada!
Danny to Thomas: Our flight got cancelled
Danny to Ali: Do we get redirected or refunded or what?
Thomas: Im so sorry. I kinda figured. Can u reschedule?
Ali: Are you on lunch?
Danny to Ali: Not yet I'll take it at like 8
Ali: I'm coming to see you. This fails. And I'm bringing Burger King.
Danny to Ali: Oh, rad! When should I clock out?
Ali: I'll text when I'm done at BK.
Thomas: Can u reschedule?
Danny to Thomas: Blah I'm not sure, I'll keep you posted
Thomas: Wow, that really sucks. Im sure sorry
Danny to Thomas: Me too =(
Ali: Be there in 2 minutes. Can you come to my car?
Danny to Ali: Yup!
At this point Ali came to my work as promised. She gave me a hug and asked "are you pretty upset then?" to which I replied in a sad puppy-dog voice "yeah." She then asked "hey, what day is it today?" "what day is it today?....APRIL FOOLS!?!"
Danny to Thomas: Fuck You
Ali started laughing uncontrollably for about 10-15 minutes, during which time my big brother called me long distance to join her in her merriment. I was pissed for about 10 minutes, but I was hungry and burger king helped calm my nerves.

This conversation became extremely embarrassing to me when I learned that Ali and Thomas had been texting the entire time! Thomas was forwarding each of his statements and my responses to Ali. They have never met, and I didn't even know that they had each-other's numbers! perhaps if I had known that I would have put 2 and 2 together and seen right through their little trick, but as it is, this is the best I have ever been pranked. Ever.

In retrospect this entire prank is pretty hilarious because I know how into it my brother was. I can seriously picture him sitting around giggling like a little school girl as he patiently waited for 7:00 o'clock to roll around to give me an 'update.' Two smart people can certainly do a good job of fooling a fool.
