Chapter 1:
Return of the Melon
It was a normal day in the cul-de-sac. Well, normal for a while. Eddy was coming up with another scam, where he gets Ed to do the stupid stuff, and Double D to do the working. Eddy just got people to come.
"Strawberry Chunky Puffs!" Eddy called. "Get your Strawberry Chunky Puffs here!"
He held up a bowl with pink Chunky Puffs. It caught Ed's attention.
"I want some!" Ed said.
"Hey, get back to work!" Eddy commanded.
"But I'm hungry, boss…" Ed cried.
"Fine!" Eddy threw one Chunky Puff at Ed.
Ed caught it in his mouth and swallowed it. Then, he got back to painting the Chunky Puffs pink in the garage. Double D was making the paint in the garage.
"Is the raspberry paint done yet?" Eddy whispered to Double D.
"Yes!" Double D handed the paint to Ed.
"Raspberry Chunky Puffs!" Eddy put up a new sign and held up a bowl of purple Chunky Puffs. "Get your Raspberry Chunky Puffs here!"
Jimmy came to the stand with all the Chunky Puffs.
"How much?" Jimmy asked.
"Just 25 cents!" Eddy answered.
"Deal!" Jimmy gave Eddy a quarter and took a box of Chunky Puffs.
Jimmy got out a spoon from his pocket. He poured the Chunky Puffs into a bowl, and put some milk in it. He sat it at a bench, and lifted his spoon full of Chunky Puffs to his mouth. But suddenly, a watermelon hit the spoon, preventing Jimmy from eating the Chunky Puffs. Jimmy licked his chops.
"I'll pay a whole dollar for that watermelon!" Jimmy called.
There was now a dark figure in the shadows right in front of Eddy.
"This is the last time you'll scam in this town…" the figure said.
"Who the heck are you?" Eddy asked.
"Melonhead…" the dark figure revealed himself. "And my trusty side kick, Splinter the Wonderwood!"
"Oh, no…" Eddy gulped.
"Take this!" Melonhead kicked Eddy into the garage, making him run into Ed and Double D.
Eddy screamed.
"You want to play that way?" Eddy got up and ran to his room in a flash. Then he came back, wearing a cape, a monocle, a white undershirt, and briefs. "Prepare yourself for… Professor Scamula!"
A dollar sign was on his undershirt. He tapped his own head, and visions of money appeared. It was one of Melonhead's weaknesses.
"Get in your clothes, henchmen!" Eddy yelled to Ed and Double D.
Ed and Double D dressed like Eddy, but without the monocle and cape. While Eddy wasn't paying attention, Melonhead snuck into Eddy's kitchen. He grabbed a donut, and came back out.
"Take this, Professor Scamula!" Melonhead threw the donut at Eddy.
Eddy caught the donut on his finger. "You'll have to do better than that!"
He bit into the donut, revealing glue inside of it! Eddy did not notice, and kept chewing. And chewing. And Chewing. Then, he could not open his mouth! He started choking.
"Now to finish it!" Melonhead called. "Splinter, finish him off!"
He threw Splinter at Eddy. It was like a boomerang. Eddy's quarter was now on Splinter, and then in Melonhead's hands.
"Here, good citizen!" Melonhead handed the quarter back to Jimmy.
"You're my hero!" Jimmy clapped, as so did the other kids in the cul-de-sac did.
"And now for you guys…" Melonhead smirked.
He took out Ed and Double D as he took out Eddy.
