Synopsis
Flip meets up with Snip and asks to pull pranks on the citizens with her, to which she accepts. They then proceed to prank everyone they find.

They first prank Magic. Magic carries a pile of books and the cats scare her with a party popper. She then proceeds to pick up the books, but she gets the hiccups from being scared. The cats laugh at this, and Flip gets the hiccups as well.

Next, they prank Mystic. They put a vase of flowers on Mystic's doorstep, but unbeknownst to the pink-horned unicorn they are filled with pepper; when Mystic smells the flowers she sneezes three times. The pepper afterwards backfires on Flip, causing her to sneeze and go flying backwards.

The cats then prank Amber by putting hot sauce in her lunch.

After this, the cats decide to prank Nip. Snip hides in a leaf-covered tree and waits for Nip to come out so she can scare him. Unfortunately, Snip doesn't realize that she still has the pepper from the other prank. A bit of pepper sprinkles out of it and lands on Snip's nose, almost making her sneeze, but she shakes the pepper off her nose. This shaking causes the entire pepper shaker to fall out, and Snip is surrounded by the large amount of pepper. She starts to sneeze again; after a long time fighting the sneeze and a long buildup, she sneezes and blows herself out of the tree. She sneezes many more times, and after she stops sneezing she explains that she is allergic to the pepper, and ensures Nip that she will never prank him again.

Original story
"It was a nice warm day in Ty Land. Snip was taking a nice stroll when Flip ran over to her. "Hey Snip, can you help me out?" the white cat said, bouncing up and down on four legs. "What is it? Is your TV broken?" Snip said. "No, it's not that. I want you to help me pull some pranks on everyone in town," Flip said. "Well, I guess I can help," Snip said. "Oh, thank you thank you thank you! This is gonna be so much fun!" Flip said. She and Snip went off.

Their first victim was Magic. She went outside holding on her forelegs a large stack of books. Flip and Snip saw the white, purple-horned unicorn walk out. The two cats giggled as Flip held up a party popper. This plan was to pull the string on the party popper and scare Magic. The prank worked like a charm. Flip pulled the string on the party popper with her left paw, and the popper let out a loud popping sound. The noise scared Magic, causing her to drop all the books. She tried to pick them up, but it wasn't easy because she got the hiccups from being scared. Flip and Snip laughed at this, and then Flip got the hiccups as well. Even after Magic had gathered all the books, Flip and Snip wanted to pull more pranks, this time on other citizens.

Their next victim was Mystic. Flip and Snip walked out of a shed holding baskets of flowers. They put the flowers in a vase, left the flowers on Mystic's doorstep and rang the doorbell. They then ran behind a bush and waited. "She won't believe what we put in those!" Flip said. They then hid away when they saw Mystic open the door. She saw the flowers and gave a big sniff of them. She came up with a black powder on her nose. She inhaled and sneezed three times, "Ahhhh... ahhhhh... ahhhhh... Ahhh-chooo! Ahhh-chooo! Ahhhhh... chooooo!" She rubbed her nose and looked off to find the laughing cats. Snip was holding a shaker of pepper and ran off. She dropped the shaker on the ground while she did, and the top on the shaker fell off. The pepper started getting everywhere, and Flip got a lot in her nose. She inhaled and sneezed, "Ahhhhhhhhhhh-CHOOOOO!" This sneeze sent her flying backwards into a tree, but she wasn't hurt at all.

The next victim was Amber, a gold tabby with golden eyes and a pink nose. She walked outside with a lunchbox in her right paw and sat down on a bench. She opened her lunchbox and took out a ham sandwich with cheese and what she thought was ketchup on it. She took a bite of the sandwich and then, her mouth started to burn. Flip and Snip laughed when this happened, as they had actually swapped the ketchup with hot sauce. Amber wasn't very pleased to see this, but she let the two felines have their fun.

The final victim was Nip. Snip and Flip didn't really want to play any pranks on Nip, as his feelings would be hurt if even a tiny prank was pulled on him, but they decided to do it anyway. Besides, they planned to run off right after they pulled the prank on him. Snip climbed up a leaf-covered tree where Nip was near and hid in it. Her plan was to jump out of the tree and scare Nip at the right moment. There was just one thing she forgot to check: she still had her pepper shaker from the second prank that she pulled. It was supposed to be closed shut at all times when not in use. Snip closed the top, but it wasn't completely shut for some reason, and a little bit of pepper began to sprinkle out of it. It landed on Snip's nose and she began to inhale two small inhales. But she really didn't want to sneeze, so she just shook her head to get the pepper off her nose, and thankfully she didn't take a sniff. She then rubbed her nose on her paw and got back into her crouching position. Unfortunately while she was shaking her head, the pepper shaker fell out completely. The top fell off again and the pepper went everywhere, including all over Snip. The black pepper got all over her cream-colored fur, her brown paws, and it both got on AND inside of her nose. Snip couldn't handle the large amounts of pepper, and she began to sneeze. "Ahhh... ahhhh..." she inhaled again, but this time it was a little louder than before. It even got Nip's attention from outside of the tree. The beige cat looked around, wanting to know where the inhales were coming from. Back inside the tree, Snip was trying not to sneeze by taking several deep sniffs. Each sniff brought more pepper inside of her nose, making her need to sneeze much worse. "Ahhh... ahhh... ahhh... ahhh..." Snip inhaled more and more by the second. The pepper was starting to take over her nose. Snip brought a paw to her nose, hoping to get rid of the sneeze. Unfortunately, she failed to realize that her paw was covered in pepper and instead of helping the sneeze, it was actually making the need to sneeze much worse. "Ahhh... ahhhhhhh... ahhhhhhhhhhh... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh... ahhhhhhhhhhh... aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh... aaaaaaahhhhhhh... aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh... aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh... aaaaaaaaahhhhhh..." The inhales got longer and louder. Snip soon couldn't fight the sneeze any longer, and she began to sneeze one impossibly huge sneeze. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Snip let out a huge sneeze, blowing her out of the tree. Nip took notice of this. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH...CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Snip continued to sneeze, and let out eight more sneezes that sent her in a different direction each time. Her sneezes were loud, extremely powerful and impossibly huge. Nip was angry at first as this was a prank, but he laughed as it backfired on the person who was trying to prank him. Finally, Snip blew herself to Nip and stopped sneezing. Her nose was tired from sneezing so much. "Wow, Snip. Whatever made you sneeze must have been something that you're allergic to. Were you trying to prank me?" Nip said. "Yes. Are you mad?" Snip said, sniffling. She would have rubbed her nose, but she couldn't because she thought it would make her sneeze again. "Well, I was until I realized how much you were sneezing," Nip said. "And you're right, I am allergic to pepper. I promise I'll never do that prank again," Snip said. And from that day on, she never pulled any pranks on Nip again, not even once."
