MY GYM PARTNER'S AN ED

Chapter 1

One Wednesday morning, Edd was asleep in his bed when suddenly, his alarm clock beeped and woke him up. Edd got out of bed and put on his slippers. Then, he went downstairs and had a bowl of Chunky Puffs cereal for breakfast. After breakfast, Edd went back upstairs and took a shower. Then, he got dressed in his usual attire and gathered all his school supplies.

Once Edd was ready for school, he left his house. Ed and Eddy were standing on the sidewalk, waiting for him.

"Hi, Double-D," Ed greeted as he waved at Edd.

"Good morning, gentlemen," Edd greeted as he approached Ed and Eddy. "Ready for another exciting day of learning?"

"Not in this lifetime, Sockhead," Eddy replied. "The only good thing about goin' to school today is that it's Whopper Wiener Wednesday in the caf."

"WHOPPER WIENER WEDNESDAY, DOUBLE-D!" Ed happily exclaimed.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm afraid we'll be missing out on today's lunch special," Edd informed. "Today is the day we participate in our school's student exchange program."

"Oh, great," Eddy groaned as he facepalmed himself. "I forgot about that."

"What's an exchange program?" Ed asked.

"It's where a group of students from one school study at another school. Instead of attending Peach Creek Junior High, we'll be attending Charles Darwin Middle School," Edd explained. He looked at his watch. "The bus taking us there is scheduled to depart at precisely 7:30 AM."

"Alright, let's go," Eddy said.

The Eds made their way over to Peach Creek Junior High. When they arrived, there was a bus waiting for them. The Eds boarded the bus and took their seats. Then, the bus took off.

"I'm looking forward to exploring a new school, aren't you, Eddy?" Edd asked.

"No, me and Ed are only doin' this stupid exchange thing for extra credit," Eddy grouchily replied.

"Well, considering yours and Ed's deplorable grades, you two certainly need it,"

"I heard Charles Darwin Middle School has real animals," Ed mentioned.

"Where did you hear that, Ed?" Edd asked in confusion.

"On a commercial,"

Eddy rolled his eyes. "Oh, brother. You've been watchin' too much TV, Ed," Eddy commented.

"I concur. I highly doubt they have real animals there," Edd agreed.

"I bet they're as dumb as animals though. It'd be easy to take their cash,"

"Don't tell me you plan on scamming them, Eddy,"

Eddy stared at Edd for a moment and said, "Okay, I won't."

A few minutes later, the bus arrived at Charles Darwin Middle School. The Eds exited the bus. Then, it took off again.

"Well, here we are," Edd announced.

The Eds stared at the school and noticed something weird about it.

"That's peculiar. Why does the building have trees sticking out from its roof and windows?" Edd wondered.

"Beats me. Maybe, it's 'cause of budget cuts or somethin'," Eddy guessed.

"Maybe, this is a school for trees," Ed guessed.

"Shut up, Ed,"

"Well, that's not important right now," Edd said. "What is important is that we walk through those doors and further educate ourselves."

The Eds walked up to the entrance of the building. When they opened the door, they gasped in shock at what they saw.

"Oh, my..." Edd said.

"I don't believe this..." Eddy said.

"I was right, guys..." Ed said.

Various animal students and faculty were roaming the hallway.

A wide grin spread across Ed's face. "IT'S A SCHOOL FULL OF ANIMALS!" Ed cheered.
