Eds Unleashed: The Beginning
Ch.1 Summer Begins
Double Dee (whose real name was Edd) looked out the window at the passing clouds. He was sitting in his history class at Peach Creek Jr. High and was almost hypnotized by the dark storm clouds that had filled the sky earlier that day.
"Strange," he thought, "The weather forecast didn't mention a storm today, or even cloudiness for that matter."
Just then his train of thought was interrupted by Eddy, one of his two best friends, yelling, "Come on you stupid clock, why can't you hurry up?!"
"Eddy, please!" Double Dee said as he turned around to face him. "You know, a watched pot never boils," he continued in a slightly softer tone.
Eddy just sighed and said, "Yeah, whatever Sock-Head," as he stared back up at the clock.
Double Dee just sighed too and looked out again at the clouds.
"Sock-Head" was the other nickname Double Dee had been given because of the sock-like hat that he ALWAYS wore, although, it was only Eddy who called him that.
Eddy himself was very short for a 12-year-old boy and was very materialistic. He was, however, very determined in anything he tried and especially in the scams he pulled to get the other kids' money.
Double Dee was much taller than Eddy, very kind hearted, and was the brains behind the scams.
After Double Dee had finally lost total interest in the odd clouds, he too gave in and looked up at the clock.
"Only five more minutes left," he muttered and looked down past Eddy's seat to the one that belonged to his second best friend, Ed.
Ed was the muscle for the scams. He possessed amazing strength and was also very kind, but he could be very clumsy and wasn't what one might call 'a fast thinker.'
"Double Dee, why won't the tick-tock go faster?" Ed whimpered to him.
"Ed, there are only five more minutes left," Double Dee responded, but he too felt they were passing unusually slow.
Double Dee looked across the room at Johnny 2X4 and his best friend Plank, who was a piece of wood with a pair of dark crayon blue eyes and a mouth and, apparently, was quite the smart mouth.
Johnny was only slightly taller than Eddy. He was an excellent swimmer and was very interested in plant life.
Johnny held up a piece of paper and said to Plank, "Okay buddy, I have it all written down. This summer we have three main things to do: One; go swimming, Two; get a bunch more Urban Ranger badges, and Three; go camping."
He then waited for Plank to reply. After about five seconds of silence, Johnny smiled; Plank seemed to like the list.
Behind Johnny sat Rolf, a very tall boy who had emigrated from a country no one was yet able to identify. Rolf currently lived on a small farm with his grandparents and, because of his hard labor on the farm, was very strong. Rolf was nice enough but his repeated references to his old world sayings often left most people, especially the Eds, confused.
Rolf was now fidgeting at his desk as he watched the clock's big hand make its way to the three and announce the end of class.
Double Dee's eyes than wondered away from Rolf's activities and settled on another desk just across from Rolf's, this desk belonged to Kevin, the neighborhood jock. Kevin looked as if he was about to scream as he stared at the clock.
Kevin, himself, was about the same height as Double Dee. He enjoyed every type of sport, had pretty decent strength, and was a very fast runner.
Double Dee then looked at the desk in front of Kevin's and felt his cheeks turn red. This desk belonged to Nazz, the girl of the neighborhood whose presence caused blush from most of the boys in the same class.
She was currently looking at the new summer bathing suit designs in a fashion magazine. But, as Double Dee could tell from her wondering eyes, her watch on the clock was making it difficult.
Nazz came to about Double Dee's chin in height. She was very good at gymnastics and a natural acrobat. In addition, she was also one of the top students in her karate class.
"Wow, her hair is like rays of sunshine glistening over a field of wild flowers," Double Dee thought as he looked at Nazz's shiny blonde hair.
Double Dee then jumped in his seat with surprise as his concentration was shattered again, and this time not by Eddy, but by Sarah's and Jimmy's sudden entrance into the classroom.
Sarah and Jimmy were both shorter then everyone else but they were also younger then everyone else. The two were also best friends for as long as anyone could remember.
Sarah was Ed's little sister and, like him, had extraordinary strength but an extraordinary temper to boot. She could also be very protective of her brother and Jimmy.
Jimmy liked to read and especially enjoyed fairytales. While he wasn't the scam-loving type of person Eddy was, he could be quite crafty. Jimmy always tries to please Sarah in any way he can, but when he needs some muscle, she is the one he calls.
At this time, both of them were happily running around the room and shouting.
"It's almost here! It's almost here!," Sarah shouted excitedly.
"I'm so giddy." Added Jimmy with equal excitement.
Jimmy and Sarah then stopped in place. The rest of the kids raised slightly in their seats with anticipation as they saw only the seconds left before 3'O clock.
The all counted down in unison….
"Ten….
Nine….
Eight…
Seven….
Six…..
Five….
Four….
Three…
Two…
One….
Zero!"
"B-r-r-rinng-g-g-g-g," screamed the final bell. School had officially ended. Summer vacation began.
All the cul-de-sac kids ran out of that history class, down the hallway, and out the two metal double doors that lead out of the school.
Outside, Kevin mounted his bike, Johnny climbed on his scooter after placing Plank in the small basket on the handle bars, and Nazz sat on the last step of the concrete staircase that lay in front of the double doors to put on her in-line skates, after the three, and Plank, had their transportation ready, they road down the sidewalk followed by Rolf, Sarah, and Jimmy on foot.
Sarah and Jimmy pranced along chanting, "summer's here, summer's here! No more school until next year!"
Rolf was just walking and humming a happy tune. These merry melodies would only stop after Nazz and Kevin started a conversation about what everyone had planned to do over the summer.
Meanwhile………
A little farther back behind the larger group, Ed, Double Dee, and Eddy walked home together, side-by-side.
"Happy place, happy place," said Ed, "The Eds summer time fun shall continue. All is right for all, once twice again."
"Don't get mushy on us, Ed!" snapped Eddy.
Double Dee spoke up, "Congratulations, fellows, another school year has been complete and now we may enjoy summer vacation."
"Yeah," Eddy said looking up at the sky slightly annoyed, "talk about a way to start off the summer, just look at that sky."
"Summer rains," said Double Dee, "you can never predict them, but let's hope our scam doesn't get rained out tomorrow."
"Oh yeah," Eddy perked up "I almost forgot about our scam. Man, this one is perfect. We'll be swimmin' in cash in no time."
"Eddy is still the man with the jam in our summer time plans," rhymed Ed.
"That's 'man with the scam' Ed, not jam," corrected Eddy, "and don't forget the stuff I told you to bring."
"I've got it, Jam-Jam, I've got it," Ed yelled as he ran down the sidewalk.
"What did you call me, bonehead?!" Eddy yelled as he ran after Ed.
Double Dee stood there alone. He stared off into the direction his friends had gone and hoped he would always be able to come through for them. He then looked up to the sky and once again became lost in those clouds that seemed to eat away at everything until only they were left and them only. Double Dee heard some movement behind him and spun around as he was once again caught off guard. He looked toward the small group of trees that surrounded the faculty parking lot, where he was sure the noise had come from. He saw nothing and concluded that it must just have been a squirrel or other small mammal that made the noise. That was, at least, what he tried to tell himself but he couldn't stop this feeling that something wasn't right.
Double Dee shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind of these strange feelings and thoughts and then ran after his friends, calling for them to wait up.
Little did he know that something evil was watching him and his friends from those trees and that they all would soon begin the adventure of a lifetime.
That's it for chapter one. I'm sorry if Double Dee seems out of character.
