Flash and Burn
Don't own Ed, Edd, or Eddy ;)
"Double D, don't do this," Marie said, backing into a corner. This was unprecedented. A boy making the mighty Marie Kanker shy, stuttering, and in fear for her safety. She hasn't felt this way since... well, let's just say the past leaves scars. But she wasn't in any real danger. She could easily overpower the person. The shock left her paralyzed and unable to move. And it was the person who was scaring her that made it all the more unbelievable.
"Come on, sweetheart," Said Edd in a silky voice he previously did not possess, "I thought you liked me. Plus, you're the one who started all this." Marie gulped. He had him there.
"When did it all go wrong?" She asked herself.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU!
About two days ago, the Kanker were doing the thing that they loved doing the most: chasing the Ed boys around. "Kankers!" The boys screamed.
"I do not want the kissy face!" Ed whined.
"Run!" Eddy screamed.
"Evasive maneuvers!" Edd shouted.
"Come here you hunk of meat!" May said to Ed.
"I am not your hunk or a piece of meat," Ed replied. One would think that being seventeen all of this would stop. Actually, it seemed to increase over time. This may be because of puberty setting into the boys and girls int he cul-de-sac. Things had changed but the Kankers chasing the Eds was not one of them.
"Let me give you a kiss, Love Muffin," Marie wooed to Edd.
"Please ladies, control yourself."
"I got mine, girls!" May shouted in her backcountry accent.
"ED!" Edd and Eddy exclaimed.
"Quick Sockhead! Options!" Eddy demanded as they were still running from the two other girls. Then Edd spotted something.
"Follow my lead," Edd shouted as he cut a sharp right into the Lane. When Marie and Lee turned the corner, the Eds had disappeared.
"Where'd they go?" Marie asked. Suddenly, they heard a loud boom followed by May coughing in the far back. When the two other sisters went back to see May, she was covered in a cloud of white smoke.
"Where did he go?" May asked as the fog cleared. May was DISmayed. "Aw! I lost him WAAaA!" She cried.
"Come on, you big cry baby. We'll find them later," Lee ordered. With that, they left the area. Finally, Ed, Edd, and Eddy came from underneath the manhole cover from the street. Edd and Eddy had cut through the alley and ducked into one of the manhole covers to the sewers. Edd, knowing that May was standing near one with Ed, threw one of his smoke bombs to her and used that to get Ed into the sewers.
"And you said the smoke bombs were useless, Eddy," Double D grinned. Eddy rolled his eyes.
"They still could be if you don't keep your mouth shut. They could still be around," Eddy remarked.
"We are saved from the awful lips of disparity," Ed happily said, hugging Edd and Eddy tightly. Eddy elbowed Ed hard.
"Put me down, you idiot!" Ed exclaimed as he climbed down from the big lug. Eddy started pacing around. "What are we going to do? This has to stop!"
"I agree," Edd panted. Edd was released from Ed's grip. "We must find a way to get out of the continual predicament that befalls us every time we're outside."
"We shall then make a bunker for us to hide in so that we may be safe," Ed said.
"Ed that's-" Eddy stopped himself when he thought about what Ed just said. "Wait, that's it! Ed, you're a genius." With that, Eddy raced away to the junkyard with Ed running along.
"Ed's a genius! Ed's a genius! What am I then? Cut corn!" Edd exclaimed insulted.
Meanwhile, at the Kankers little trailer, Lee was pacing around furiously. "We need to find a way to make sure get our men, girls," She said much like a general, "These Eds are starting to get smarter. We've got to up our game. Marie, you have a plan?"
"Yes, ma'am," She smirked, pulling a whiteboard to the front. "I say we go right into their rooms and-"
"Been there done that," May said, rolling her eyes.
"Well, if you didn't mess up the plan like last time, maybe you would have had your idiot boyfriend here right now!" Marie remarked. May and Marie started arguing but Lee whistled loudly.
"That's enough girls. We've got to work together on this," Lee said. Suddenly, they all heard a commotion. The girls rushed to the windows to see a hunched over old man with tons of different colored clothing on. His hair was in dreads and the fusion of white locks and black lines gave the impression of an old wise man.
"AH, here's one," He said, picking up a particular branch. "You'll do fine for my next batch." With that, he headed into the woods.
"Let's follow him, girls," Lee instructed. May and Marie looked at each other with a strange look.
"I don't know, Lee. He seems kind of sketchy," Marie commented.
"Hey, it's not like we have anything else to do. Besides, we may get our next good dinner," Lee reasoned. It wasn't uncommon for the Kankers to steal from people. This was just the first time they would steal from an adult. So the girls quickly and quietly ran after the man to see where he lived. If the man was strange, his house was even stranger. He didn't live in a hut or a small shack. He literally lived in a hole in the ground. A big round hole in the ground was dug out and a small roof on top to shield from the rain. That wasn't what the Kankers focused on. When they found the old man, he was mixing a big cast-iron pot. The smell of the pot wasn't exactly enticing, but Marie noticed that it was making her dizzy. She immediately knew what the man was making.
"He's cooking weed, girls," Marie replied. Lee huffed. She wanted a quick snack but a joint would do.
"Wanna catch a whiff girls?" Lee asked. The two nodded vigorously. They waited until the old man took some of the pot's content, rolled them into a small wrap and sniffed it. He recoiled.
"Ugh! Not right," He muttered as he threw the joint to the ground. He went inside to get something. The girls really didn't care what he messed up. Anything to get a free ride to "Highville" was fine by them. They quickly took the discarded joint and ran back to their shack. They locked a bunch of locks behind them.
"Did he see us," Lee asked. May peeked through the shades.
"No, I don't think he saw us," May said.
"We don't have to worry," Marie explained, "He didn't seem like he liked it anyways." She plopped back on the broken couch of their trailer. "What we going to do with the weed, Lee?"
"First, we need to make it bigger," Lee said, noting the size of the joint to be pretty small. She took some special paper and wrapped more around it. She also added some other spare weed she got from other snags. After tightly wrapping and rewrapping it, she finally had a big fat cigar made from the discarded joint. Lee took a sniff. She lurched back. "Smells funny. This doesn't smell like a happy stick."
"Let me try," May said, reaching for the stick.
"Stop being handsy May," Marie argued, trying to get the stick from her lead sister.
"Girls," Lee shouted, separating them, "There's enough for all of us. I'm not sure I even want it." The smell of the pipe still made her felt strange. Well, stranger than usual. Lee took a light and lit the cigar. Immediately, a pink smoke came from the cigar.
"Whoa," May and Marie marveled.
"How is it?" May asked. Lee took a puff. She didn't feel the normal feelings of the high.
"I don't feel anything," Lee replied.
"Lee, you're puffing out heart clouds," May noticed. Sure enough, as Lee puffed the cloud of smoke out of her mouth, they were heart-shaped.
"What the heck is this?" Lee asked as she blew one of the hearts at her sister.
"Hey! Stop puffing things in my face," May shouted. Then they heard a sound. A small cat resting right on the couch. Wild creatures always ran around their house so it was no surprise, but Lee had an idea. She made a heart-shaped puff of smoke and blow it at the cat. After the cat coughed and wheezed a bit, it crawled off the couch and rubbed itself against Lee. Which was weird consider no cat had ever done that to Lee.
"Girls, I think I just found out what this thing does. It's some kind of love puffer," Lee said scratching her head. Marie examined the love-struck cat closer.
"I think it only works on boys, though. That's why May didn't get affected," Marie explained.
"So what do we do with it? Do we just smoke it or throw it away?" May asked. Marie thought about it for a moment then her eyes lit up when came up with an idea.
"I think I know how to get our boys in our hands," Marie smiled mischievously. As if they could read her mind, the other two sisters laughed as well. They didn't know what they were about to get into.
