Hellooooooo ppls! I noticed that this certain lil category didn't have enough stories, and I have a special lil story in mind for this. Enjoy~ *bows and sinks into the floor* hehehehehe~
I do not own Edgar and Ellen.
Edgar sat in the top floor of his and his sister's home, plotting their latest and newest prank to pull on the mayor and his annoying daughter. He sighed happily remembering their horrified faces when they dumped slime all over them at one of the city's events, planted stink bombs into their house, and made scary noises under the houses windowsill at night to frighten Stephanie. Edgar looked at his blueprint of the next prank. A giant jack in the box that would fling pies into anyone's face if they opened it.
It has been a few years now, and Edgar and Ellen grew to be healthy (though still skinny and as pale as they were back then) young teens. Edgar kept his hair as untidy and scraggly as he normally kept it, but he grew only slightly taller than his sister and outgrew the dreary striped garments he wore as a child. Now wearing a gray t-shirt and some jeans with some old sneakers he found in an alleyway. His hair had grown out more too, his bangs barely touched his eyebrows and instead of the hairline stopping halfway down his head, he let it grown so now it was down to his neck. He kept it short of course.
Ellen kept her hair in a single ponytail in a tiny red bow, she as well grew out of her striped clothing and wore a grey tank top with jeans. She had slight curves and couldn't care less about getting a boyfriend. She preferred to prank Stephanie and the rest of her family to her heart's content.
They rarely failed to bring misery to their victims each day. When they were younger, they noticed something when every prank backfired on them; it wasn't very well thought out. They had discovered this just after their pidgeon poop prank at the city hall ended up covering them as well. So after a loooooooong bath and more plotting, their plans had evolved and became more successful.
At this very moment, Stephanie was preparing for a big sweet 16 party for the fourth time that year. She liked to brag to her friends about her greatness and riches. Her ego had grown MASSIVELY over the years. Now she was your typical popular red headed rich bitch who liked to rub their happiness in your face and scoff at the less rich below them.
Ellen watched in disgust as Stephanie screamed at the maids for more sparkles on her already too sparkly, poofy, absurdly, pink dress. Ellen sat on the roof of the building, watching everything through a rooftop window. Pet growled slightly at Stephanie. "Hush Pet, we'll have our fun soon." Ellen said grinning, placing a hand on the purple fur on her shoulder, calming it as Ellen's thin fingers combed through its fur.
With Edgar
Edgar watched from the window of the top floor as people walked on the pavement, going about their day to day lives. Occasionally, he'd see a teenager holding a present dressed in fancy clothes heading for the Knightleigh residence. He chuckled at the surprise everyone was going to get once he delivered the present. He screwed in the last bolt and loaded the pies. Then, he winded up the jack in the box and tied the lid tight with a big red ribbon.
He walked outside with the box in hand, feet clicking against the pavement as he finally reached the Knightleigh home. Ellen stood at the entrance waiting for her brother. "What took you so long?" She asked, obviously irritated. He shrugged and said, "It was hard to wind up." She sighed and took the present from him. They walked onto the roof of the mansion and lowered the present among the other hundreds sitting.
Both twins got a pair of binoculars from their pockets and proceded to watch. Everyone was dressed fancily, suits and frilly dresses everywhere. All brightly colored and made the twins want to puke. One dress caught Edgar's eye though, it wasn't bright at all, in fact, is was solid black.
He eyed the girl that was placing her present with the others and stood near the big buffet table. She had short, reddish brown hair and big brown eyes. Two black hair pins held her bangs from her face. She wore a simple black dress with spaghetti straps and went down to her knee. Black flats on her feet. A black purse on her shoulder. She wore a red pendant around her neck. No makeup, just a layer of chapstick. She didn't show any emotion. Yet she looked stunning to Edgar. He continued to eye the girl until he felt Ellen nudge his arm.
"What are you doing brother?" She asked, distracting him as Pet stole his binoculars and looked at what he was looking at earlier. "HEY!" He yelled. Then Pet scrambled over to Ellen and pointed at where to point the binoculars. "He was staring at that chunky guy over there? Geez Edgar, are you turning-" Then Pet adjusted the binoculars on Ellen to make her look at the girl Edgar was gawking at earlier. "Oooh... You checking her out brother?" She said mischeviously.
"N-No! She just seems like an interesting victim is all." He lied. "Uh-huh. Sure brother." Ellen shook her head and continued to watch as Stephanie bitched at the maids.
"NO! THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT COLOR!" She yelled at the fifteenth maid who brought in another shade of light pink. Then her father walked into the room.
"Oh, hello daddy. I love this party you set up for me." She said. "Anything for my little princess." He replied, hugging her for a moment and leaving to talk to some guests.
Edgar swiped his binoculars back from Pet and resumed to look at the girl at the table. Only, she wasn't there. He searched the entire crowd for her and would have kept searching if not for Ellen tugging on his elbow. "Hey, there's your girlfriend." She said while watching the scene below. Edgar, curious, also zoomed his view on Stephanie, seeing that she wasn't alone. They both pulled out some listening devices they had earlier bugged inside the room and eavesdropped on the conversation below.
In the room below
"Hello Stephanie." The girl dressed in black said, trying to sound as though she WANTED to be there. Stephanie turned to see her and scoffed. "Hello Rachel. I see that you still have that obsession over black. Fashion 101: black is for goth's and emo people." She said. Rachel's fingers flexed. what she wouldn't give to slap this bitch into the next century.
"Well I'll remember that some other time. I hope that you are treating him well." Rachel said, trying to stay calm. Stephanie raised an eyebrow. "Of course I am, and he will go back to you once I get what I want."
"It's in the present I gave, now give her back or the deal is off." Rachel said threatningly. Stephanie snapped her fingers and a maid instantly appeared. "Take her to her little friend, and then kick her out, I have no need for this bitch anymore." Then Stephanie flipped her absurdly curly red hair and walked away, her pink glittery heels clacking loudly against the marble floor. Rachel walked out of the room with the maid and out of the twins' sight above.
Back on the roof
"What do you think that was about sister?" Edgar asked. Ellen shrugged. "Maybe that girl was blackmailed. You know how Stephanie has gotten." Edgar nodded and proceded to watch the scene below.
Rachel walked out of the house with her chubby black and white cat. It meowed loudly. "God Scruffy, you are more trouble than you're worth, you know that?" She asked the obese cat, who only snoozed in her arms as a response. She was about to leave the property when she noticed a ladder on the side of the house. Rachel looked up to see two figures sitting there. She put down Scruffy and ordered him to go home, bribing him with a big trout. He then lazily trotted back to their home.
"Damn cat..." She growled under her breath. She walked to the ladder and started to climb.
Pet growled a bit, alerting the twins that they were not alone. Their attention was soon fixed to the girl climbing the ladder. Edgar was the first to recognize her. "Um... Hi?" She said, climbing onto the roof and sitting down next to Ellen. "Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?" Ellen asked rudely, ready to sick Pet on her. "What? This is probably the best place where I can watch Stephanie scream." Rachel pulled out a camera and pulled off the lens.
Both Edgar and Ellen stiffened. "How do you know about our prank?" Edgar asked coldly, but not enough to make this girl even notice. "What? You guys set one up too?" They relaxed a bit. "So you didn't know about ours?" Ellen asked. Rachel nodded. "Does Stephanie know anything about it?"
"No, Why would I help that selfish, pink, idiotic bitch anyways?" Rachel asked as she put the camera down and pulled out a remote control. "The name's Rachel by the way." "We know." Edgar said, instantly regretting his words. Rachel raised a brow. "I'm Ellen, this is my brother Edgar. And this..." Ellen pulled out Pet in front of her. "Is Pet." Rachel looked at Pet for a second then stroked its mangy fur, it purred under her touch.
"So what did you guys do?" Rachel asked. She continued to watch the scene below. Stephanie was blowing out her birthday candles. "We rigged one of her presents." Edgar said proudly. Ellen elbowed him in the side. "Ow!" He yelled. "Don't go telling everything to her!" Ellen shot. "Hm. So did I." Rachel said, pulling out the antenna at the top of the remote.
"Oh, they are starting the gifts now. Hush!" Ellen said, focusing her binoculars on the scene below.
Down there
Stephanie opened her presents one at a time, not even thanking anyone for the gift and started to tear off the wrapping paper like a savage. Dresses, make-up, a car, sterio system, even a yacht. She then came to a red present with a big red bow. She pulled the ribbon and the lid of the box snapped off with a twang, letting loose a very scary looking clown that unleashed a five pound pie onto her and all the people around her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEE!" Stephanie screamed shrilly. All three teens laughed hysterically at the girl. Then the last present, Rachel's present, shook. Stephanie opened it, a look of anger on her face turned into horror. Suddenly, a deranged teddy bear leapt out of the box and onto the buffet table. It was foaming at the mouth and going crazy. Edgar looked at Ellen and Rachel, Ellen was watching the teddy bear with total happiness, while Rachel tinkered with the controls, making the teddy break dance and chew the hem of Stephanie's dress.
"!" She screamed even louder as the teddy climbed up her now ruined dress. "Now for the finalle." Rachel said, a evil smile twisting onto her face. She pressed a red button on the teddy and the deranged toy shot weird tubes from it's mouth. Sending gallons of seltzer onto the girl he clung onto. Then it fell to the ground, lifeless. Its eyes then beeped to a 3...2...1... BOOM!
More screaming. Edgar and Ellen laughed even harder. Rachel walked to the ladder with a satisfied smirk on her face, still giggling. She hadn't had this much fun in ages. She turned her head to see Edgar eyeing her backside. She winked at him and giggled at his blush. She slid down the ladder gracefully and trashed the remote. Finally the first smile she cracked in ages, she walked down the pavement home. Hoping to find a trout nearby.
