Cul-de-Sac

It was a hot summer's day as the Eds were setting up their latest scam.

Edd was setting up a rather impressive looking water slide made from the local scrap metal and some "borrowed" materials from the local construction site. While Eddy was drinking lemonade from a homemade lifegaurd stand.

Edd: "Eddy, are you sure it's all right to have taken these tools from the construction zone?"

Eddy: "Relax sock head. Have you ever seen any construction workers actually WORK there?"

It was true, in all the years that Edd had lived in the Cul-de-Sac he had never seen that area being worked on. Which was odd seeing as there were always tools laying about.

Ed runs towards Eddy with a wheel barrow full of various supplies.

Ed: "I BROUGHT MORE STUFF EDDY!!!"

Eddy hops off the lifegaurd stand and fingers through the junk.

Eddy: "Good job lumpy, we'll be able to make a killing from the slide we'll make from this!"

Edd: "I don't know why you can't just get a job like an average human being Eddy."

Eddy: "There's no love in it. I always feel like I've earned the money if I scam it off others."

Edd would have liked to point out the flaw in that last statement, but was interupted by the sound of Ed messing with the slide.

Edd: "ED NO!!! I HAVEN'T SECURED THE SLIDE YET!!!"

Unfotunatly it was too late as the slide came tumbling down. With a loud crash it hit the pavement and was rendered useless.

Eddy stared at the heap of trash at his feet. Then looked up at his two friends.

Eddy (very calmly): "Alright, we'll go home and meet at my house later with some fresh ideas."

And with that Eddy turned to head home. Until Edd interupted.

Edd: "That's it? Go home and think? No spat of fury, no uncontrolable rage at the fact you scam didn't even take off?"

Eddy turns his head back.

Eddy: "Hey with our track record this is normal."

And with that they headed home, shoving the remains of the slide into Ed's garage.

Edd's House

Edd headed home while thinking about what he could possibly make out of all the junk that Ed had provided them. Upon entering his front door Edd was greeted with a plesant surprise.

Edd: "Dad? What're you doing home so early?"

Sure enough there stood Edd's father. A tall man in his early fifties, sleeked black hair with a trimmed mustache.

Edd's Father: "Oh, hello Edward. I got transfered to a different part of the company, so they said I could go home early."

Edd (with a slight trace of worry): "Transfered? As in, moving?"

Edd's Father: "What? Oh, no. I'll be working in the same building but with a different assignment."

Edd: "What Assignment?"

Edd's Father: "Biochemical research."

Edd: "What kind of research?"

Edd's Father: "Now now, if you ask me all this now I won't have anything to tell your mother when she returns from work. Besides, I thought you were playing with your friends."

And with that Edd headed to Eddy's home, not having a single new idea for a scam in his head.

Eddy's Room.

Apparently none of the Eds were capable of coming up with a scam and were lingering in Eddy's room waiting for insperation to come to them.

Ed: "OOH!! We could..."

Eddy: "No Ed just shut up."

That was the fifth time that Eddy had to stop Ed from suggesting another bad idea. Mean while Edd was busy cleaning Eddy's room.

Eddy: "Hey Double D, why haven't you thought of anything?"

Edd (while picking up a dirty sock): "Scamming people is your thing Eddy, I believe in good honest work."

Eddy: "Yeah, whatever."

The rest of the day passed without a scam, or much less, an idea for a scam. In the end Eddy just flipped through his magazines, Edd managed to clean Eddy's room, and Ed drew a rather impressive replica of the Mona Lisa.

Edd: "Alright Gentlemen, I believe it is time for me to go home."

Eddy (without looking up from his magazine): "Alright, see ya tomorrow."

With that Edd headed out the door into the crisp summer night. Edd looked at his watch.

Edd: "GOOD LORD! I'm up past my curfew! Father's going to have my head for this!"

Edd quickly rushed home, and shortly after went to bed.
