Would Baz, Toko and Gerdie prank each other for April Fool's day?? 😂

That's a great question! Unfortunately, it's one not so easily answered due to differences in how holidays are recognized in the Far From Home universe. Hundreds of alien races exist within FFH, each of which is associated with at least one culture and planet, though life is never quite that simple. So, to give an example, the U.S. federal government recognizes 11 holidays per year. Now multiply that by 195 countries on planet Earth - that gives Earth 2,145 different holidays in total (if we ignore the fact that some holidays overlap between countries). Sure, that's a bit of an overestimation, but if every single alien race demanded to celebrate 2,145 holidays over the course of a standard intergalactic year, practically every day would be considered a holiday. As a result, the Intergalactic Government only recognizes a select few generalized holidays during a standard intergalactic year, but individual cultures are welcome to celebrate specific holidays on their planets as usual. The system is flawed and gets a lot of flack (and rightly so), considering space government just doesn't want people taking days off of work unexpectedly and messing with the flow of trade and commerce. This means that many 'lesser' holidays (ie. ones that aren't federally recognized, such as April Fool's Day) remain generally unknown to most folks out in space, and having origins in wildly different cultures means that similarities between holidays are uncommon. So it's possible that the FFH crew wouldn't even be familiar with a holiday like April Fool's Day, if it happened to exist in that universe. But if we were to shove all that worldbuilding aside and, for the sake of this question, consider what might happen if the crew recognized April Fool's Day as a holiday? They’d absolutely prank each other.

I feel like Gerdie would be the most into it, starting with harmless pranks and introducing Toko to the concept, before they both start setting little traps for each other! And contrary to what you might think, Baz would participate too - though he’d be very subtle and methodical about it. Gotta put all those smuggling skills to good use, right? Baz and Gerdie would definitely be the best at sniffing out suspicious activity before a prank comes to fruition, whereas Toko (being so young) would fall for pranks all the time. But she’d love the shenanigans!
