Shooting Star, an Edgar & Ellen fanfic
By: Micky Boisvert
Chapter 1
Skriker Gates sat on a concrete park bench in the town of Nod's Limbs. She tossed and turned restlessly, then finally took her sweater off and balled it up, using it as a pillow. Her brother Raden Gates leaned against the bench, his knee's to his chest. "We couldn't have come to a worse town" he sighed, pushing back his overgrown auburn hair. "Its inhabitants are all rich; no one'll wanna take us in. I'm sure they've heard rumors of us from Mayor Smelterburg"
"The Gates twins" Skriker laughed "Best pranksters around"
"Yes" Raden smiled "This town is where we'll pull our biggest prank yet"
"Too right Raden" she cackled.
"Let's get some rest Skriker" Raden whispered leaning back and closing his eyes. But the Gates twins didn't know that there were already two mischief making twins in Nod's Limbs. And they too were planning their biggest prank…
"What should our prank be Brother?" Ellen asked her twin brother Edgar.
"Hmm" Edgar pondered, suddenly his eyes popped open wider "Stephanie Knightleigh is having her sixteenth birthday party" he grinned evilly "Let's crash it"
"Great idea brother, let's" Ellen agreed "But what should we do?"
"Take all her dresses while she's in the shower, so she hasn't anything to wear?" Edgar suggested
"No, Stephanie always has a humongous birthday cake. While she's at the table with her little friends, we'll grab the cake and drop it on her head from the stairs" Ellen grinned with a laugh
"Yes, that sounds good Sister" Edgar said. "Her birthday's tomorrow, we'll just have to get there a little before everyone else does and stick something disgusting in the cake"
"Mhmm" Ellen nodded.
"You know, Raden, I've always hated Mayor Knightleigh's preppy daughter Stephanie. Her birthday is tomorrow and I think we should crash it"
"Yes Skriker, that's a good idea" Raden grinned. "That girl does deserve some misfortune. I think we should drop her birthday cake on her head, from the top stairs"
"Exactly what I was thinking Raden" Skriker laughed "Tomorrow that little dolt will wish she'd never been born"
