Welcome. If you are reading this, then you must be a fan of this cartoon as well. Since I am such a big fan of the cartoon, I decided to attempt to make an "epilogue" to explain what happened after the events of the movie. I know, this story is a bit far-fetched and unbelievable for something as innocent as Ed Edd n Eddy, but just about everything else on here is, so why not.
The story is already almost complete, with only a few chapters remaining. With that said, I'll be uploading each chapter daily since I don't feel like uploading them all at the same time. If you find that you enjoyed this chapter, be my guest and continue on. However, if you find it to be boring and not entertaining at all, then you may leave. I am merely uploading this for anyone who may be interested.
If you have decided to give this a shot, then read on...
The days in the Peach Creek community were beginning to become longer than usual. School had just been let out and kids are off doing who knows what. Together, in groups, they participate in hi-jinx and playing sports to maintain an active lifestyle. However, there is one kid in the cul-de-sac who doesn't fall into any of those categories.
His name is Edward Matthew Irons, and he is part of the Eds, the common name for the trio of kids with the same name who pull scams on their victims in attempt to swindle money out of their pockets. Edward, or commonly referred to as Ed, is the brainless one, being the laughingstock in most of the plots that Eddy Skipper Affleck, the shortest member of the trio, hatches up. He is the "Ed-boy" who gets the most heat from the other cul-de-sac kids who pose as Eddy's victims. The one Ed to get along well with the other kids is Eddward Marion Landers, the brains behind each scam's mechanics and the "decoy" into luring the other children of the neighborhood into their trap.
But what makes Ed so different from the rest of the kids, including his own friends Eddy and Edd? It all dates back to the summer after their junior year in high school, as they prepare for the rest of their lives...
The first day of summer vacation. The beginning of what seem to be the glory days for every child's imagination to run wild. That's how it goes for the kids of the Peach Creek cul-de-sac, at least up until their years in high school. After years of torture and hatred from the cul-de-sac kids and their parents, the Eds were finally accepted into their circle of friends after an encounter with Eddy's old brother. That was all past the three, as they believed they could make something out of nothing with their ex-rivals.
At 6:00AM on the first day of summer vacation, June 16th for Peach Creek, most kids would still be sound asleep, enjoying unlimited hours of joyful sleep and relaxation. Most kids, excluding Ed.
As soon as the sun appeared in the blue horizon, Ed was up and in the middle of the cul-de-sac circle, sitting and watching the parents wake up and go to work while their children sleep soundly.
He frowned, "Why are they so grumpy? The little dinkins!" He hopped up, a goody smile planted on his face. He stared down the street, the driveways of the homes bare and vacant of any cars. "Summer vacation, here I come!" He shouted at the top of his lungs and ran down the street, laughing and tripping the whole way down.
"Ed!" A voice shouted angrily from one of the nearby houses. Ed stopped and looked, dumbfounded, at his friend Eddy, who was standing on his front step, awakened by Ed's playful shouts of excitement, "It's 6:30AM. I want to sleep!"
Both Ed and Eddy heard another door open, "Hey, keep it down, dweebs! We may be on cool terms, but I want my goddamn sleep!" He shouted and slammed the door shut.
Ed looked back at Eddy, eyes full of tears, "Ed, why are you crying?"
"He said bad word to me! Kevin hates me even though he said he likes me..." Ed said, sobbing into his dirty, green jacket. The stains from various experiments and food compilations still lingered and were impossible to clean, even with multiple rinse cycles in the washing machine.
Eddy shook his head, "Ed, you need to learn to get over it."
Ed looked up from his sobbing and watched as Eddy slammed the door, heading back to bed. "Nobody wants me anymore..." Ed said to himself quietly and continued sobbing, all the way back to his home.
As the morning progressed, the kids of the community finally decided to wake up from their slumber at around 9:00AM. Eddy skipped breakfast and strolled over to Edd's house. Ignoring the doorbell, he waltzed right in and plopped his bottom into a chair at Double D's granite counter in the kitchen, where Double D was already at, in his pajamas still.
"Um, there's a doorbell." Edd said whilst pouring his milk.
Eddy nodded, "That's some great news. Too bad I don't care." Eddy laughed at his own joke and hopped up, rummaging around in his neighbor's refrigerator, "Got anything good in here?"
Edd set the milk down and looked at his cereal, which looked rotten and smelled of mice, "Well, I've got mice infested cereal, if you would like some."
"Nah, I'm good. I can just see what Monobrow's got later when he decides to come out of his house," Eddy said and picked up a magazine and began flipping through the pages rapidly, "Say, have you heard about what Ed did this morning?"
Double D shook his head and set his bowl in the sink, listening to his stomach growl with hunger, "Nope. What happened? Oh, please don't tell me he robbed your fridge again."
Eddy shook his head, "Trust me, not even close. I wake up at six this morning and look out my window to see Ed running down the street, screeching and playing like it's mid-afternoon! Me and Kevin shouted at him to be quiet, and he went inside crying like a baby. What a wuss." Eddy began giggling a bit.
"Well, sounds like you were a bit hard on Ed, in my opinion," Double D said and signaled for Eddy to follow him. They walked upstairs and into his bedroom, where he picked out that day's wardrobe, "But that sounds sort of strange. Why would Ed cry at something like that when much worse has been said to him in the past?"
Eddy rolled his eyes, "Kevin did decide to say a few unpleasant words along the way, so I guess that might've set him off."
Edd widened his eyes, shocked, "Kevin cursed?"
Eddy nodded, "Yep. Said 'Goddamn'."
Double D nearly fainted, "Eddy, don't say that, too! Those words are forbidden in this household." He said as he slipped out of his pajamas and into his casual day clothes.
Eddy sighed and walked downstairs and out the door, Double D following close behind, "Well, sorry. Listen, sockhead, if we ever want to be the menacing graduates next year, we're gonna need to up our game here, which means cursing. Do you know what I mean?"
Double D crossed his arms and shook his head as they began walking down the street towards Ed's house, "Nope. Never. Besides, we already have the trust and friendship of the neighborhood kids, so what more could you possibly yearn for?"
"Double D, you have to understand that these kids in the cul-de-sac are just posers. Fonies. They will never survive as the top dogs next year in school. We want to be better than them, now don't we?" Eddy said, licking his finger tips and brushing them through his hair.
Edd sighed, "You don't have to be better than everyone, Eddy."
Eddy opened his mouth to speak, but stopped abruptly when he heard loud noises coming from the basement of Ed's house. Crashing, Banging, Drilling, the sorts. They quickly ran to the side of the house and looked through the window attached to the house, expecting to see Ed's dirty, impossible to live in room. Instead, they saw an immaculately clean room, with a made bed, fixed chair and carpeted floors.
Eddy and Double D were awe-struck by Ed's automatic, overnight improvement in cleanliness. Edd quickly opened the window and climbed inside, falling onto the floor and smelling the fragrance that was clinging to it. He became so distracted by it that he barely felt Eddy fall onto his back. Eddy climbed off and brushed his shirt, eventually helping Double D up as they both looked at the walls and floors and furniture of the room of the messy little friend.
"What happened?" Eddy asked in amazement.
Edd wiped his finger across multiple surfaces, from the chairs to the beds to the walls to even the bathtubs, "I'm not sure. Ed must have had a change of heart."
"Or maybe just a change of common sense." Eddy said and leaped into a cushioned chair, reclining and falling into a light slumber. Just as he did, Ed came bursting through his bedroom door, donning a black suit with a suitcase.
Ed looked at Double D intently, setting his suitcase down and taking off the suit, "Eddward? What on earth are you doing here at a time like this?"
Eddy automatically woke up to the sound of Ed's improved language and vocabulary, "Woah, when did you get so mature, lumpy?"
Double D looked at Eddy with a cold stare, "Show some respect, Eddy!"
Ed chuckled and walked over to his closet, hanging his suit on a rack and putting on a pair of slim jeans with his recognizable green jacket, clean and colored green, "Don't worry about Eddy, Eddward. If he wants to speak in a way that is disrespectful to the host, than be my guest."
Eddy stood up quickly, banging his knee on the metal part of the recliner, "Aw, that hurt!" He said and slowly calmed down, "Sorry, monobrow. Anyway, what's say we go and see what the neighborhood hooligans are up to?"
Ed shook his head and walked to an unnoticeable desk in the corner of his room, sitting down on a office chair and looking at a computer screen, "No can do, Eddy. Have a project I have to complete by the end of this week."
"Project! School's out, blockhead! We're supposed to relax and enjoy the care-free days while they last." Eddy said and smiled, looking at the sun through Ed's window entrance.
Ed laughed and pulled up a page about storm tracking, "Not school, Eddy. I'm actually participating in a competition hosted by SATCH that could make me a teenage millionaire."
Eddy's eyes widened up, "Millionaire? Millions of jawbreakers! I can just see it, it's so close and-"
"No jawbreakers, Eddy. They rot your teeth and can lead to many infection in your arteries, or so I hear." Ed said and began typing a report.
Double D leaned against a wall and watched Ed type, "Well, I'm proud of you Ed, despite how false that last bit of information is. Taking on responsibility and hygiene like you never have before. This truly is a day to remember!"
A shout could be heard from upstairs, "Jimmy, give me back my doll!" Sarah shouted. A loud crash followed as Ed jolted upstairs, leaving his two friends behind.
"Our friend is a goner to society! We've lost another good one, Double D..." Eddy said and planted his face in his palms.
Double D stared at Eddy in confusion, "Another one?"
Eddy looked back up, "Don't ask." He said and walked after Ed. Double rolled his eyes and followed suit.
