Author's Note: This story features the characterization of the Ed, Edd, n Eddy cast by DeeRhymz (aka Vampire Meerkat on deviantArt). She's quite talented. Go check her stuff out.
Chapter 1:
It was a warm spring night as Kevin roared into the newly constructed drive-in movie theatre by Peach Creek High School on his new motorcycle with Nazz in tow. The motorcycle had been an early graduation gift from his mother, although there was no need for Nazz to know about that.
As the couple drove up to the ticket booth, Johnny poked his head out the window, wearing his designated uniform of a red and white candy-striped vest with a black bowtie and a white collared shirt underneath. His ever-present cellphone occupied one of his hands, while the other was extended to receive payment for Kevin and Nazz's admission into the theatre.
Kevin fished out the cash from his black leather jacket (another gift from his mother) and drove forward after he took the two tickets from Johnny's hand. He pulled up to an empty spot, which happened to be next to a tall figure wearing a long brown trench coat, a wide-rimmed hat, and a pair of sunglasses.
Kevin might have been curious to the identity of the figure if he hadn't also noticed that he was seated in a hay-filled wooden cart that was hitched to a white goat he had come to know as Victor. Kevin noticed that the figure was listening intently to the advertisement playing on the screen in front of them. The figure slowly repeated the words that had just played over the speakers a moment ago, "Buy Fizzy Cola. It is the soda with the most fo' ya."
The figure then broke out in a series of foreign-sounding expletives before saying, "Curse these modern phrases of the beverages that bubble like Nano's brow after he drinks old yak's milk. If only Rolf could practice this language of how now brown cow in the comfort of his own meat locker, but Nana then would feed Wilfred old cabbage and lock him and Rolf in the same room."
Kevin raised a brow as he called, "Hey Rolf. What you up to man?"
Rolf jumped with a start, unprepared for anyone to have seen through his ingenious disguise so easily. He lifted the rim of his hat and hastily said, "Ah yes hello too cool for school Kevin. Rolf was just visiting this outdoor display of Hollywood glitz to uh… hear the many virtues of Fizzy Cola. Apparently bubbly sugar water was one of the many things Rolf did not know was necessary to live a life of eternal pleasure."
"Uh yeah, whatever man," replied Kevin as he wondered for what seemed like the millionth time why Rolf was among his closest friends.
The Kanker Sisters then emerged from the employee-only section of the drive-in, each wearing red and white candy-striped blouses and skirts that matched Johnny's vest, which served as the waitress uniforms for the drive-in. Upon each of their feet was a set of rollerblades to help them speedily make their way around the parked cars where their customers waited, although May was having a bit of difficulty finding her balance.
"Lee, Marie, I can't seem to get my sea legs in these things," whined May her sisters dragged her forward to start their shift.
"Quit yer belly-achin' May," growled Lee, "It was hard enough to land this job. We gotta get out there and land some tips otherwise it's back to ketchup soup for dinner."
"But Lee…" May continued to whine as she clung to Marie with her knees constantly buckling.
Marie rolled her eyes at her sisters' bickering before a wicked smirk spread across her face. She then pulled May upright and said in a comforting tone, "There, there May. You know what they say, 'sometimes all you need is a PUSH in the right direction.'"
With that said, Marie gave May a hard shove sending her younger sister careening wildly towards an open dumpster on the other end of the drive-in. Upon seeing her trip and land squarely among the fresh garbage, Marie let out a devilish cackle while Lee groaned and massaged her temples at her sisters' foolish antics.
Meanwhile, Jimmy and Sarah entered the drive-in riding on Jimmy's pristinely decorated baby blue bicycle built for two with painted pink daisies. The pair pulled upon next to Kevin's motorcycles where Nazz warmly greeted them, "Hey guys. Cute bike! Are you here to Kisses among the Mist too?"
Jimmy beamed at the compliment for his bicycle, while Sarah looked slightly embarrassed to be seen on such a childish vehicle. Her embarrassment quickly gave way to confusion as she asked Jimmy, "Kisses in the Mist? As in that new kissy-kissy goo-goo movie? I thought you said you wanted to see Mr. Bunny's Hop-tastic Adventure."
Jimmy quickly blushed as he shakily said, "Oh my, did I get the times of those two mixed up? Silly me. Oh well, I'm sure we can make the most out of this movie."
He then tried to casually drape his arm around Sarah's shoulder, which caused her to look extremely uncomfortable as she pulled away, leaving the boy with a despondent look upon his face.
Lee Kanker then skated towards Kevin and Nazz with a pen and pad in her hands as she dully said, "Welcome to Big Jim's Drive-In Movie Theatre. May I interest you in ordering one of our many fine menu items tonight?"
Nazz's eyes lit up as she responded, "Oh goody! I'll have one extra-grande taco, two chili dogs, one extra big tub of buttered popcorn, a large side of fries… oh, and a small diet soda please."
Lee Kanker rapidly tried to copy Nazz's order before her pen and pad burst into flames in her very hands. Nazz and Kevin looked at her expectantly before Lee said, "Meh, I think I got the gist of it."
Lee then skated off while Marie fished May out of the dumpster and Marie skated to take Rolf's order while May wobbled towards Jimmy and Sarah. May barely managed to make to Jimmy and Sarah's parked bicycle, but she tried to give a big smile as she asked, "What will it be, folks?"
Jimmy took one whiff of May's pungent aroma after her dip in the dumpster and promptly fainted in his usual dramatic flair, causing May and Sarah to look over him in concern. Meanwhile Marie pulled out her pad and yawned as she asked Rolf, "What's your poison, stretch?"
"Poison? No no, blue-haired bruiser Kanker girl. Rolf has already brought provisions from home," responded Rolf. He then pulled out a large wheel of cheese that had pungent fumes wafting off of its slightly green surface.
Marie took one whiff of the acrid snack before her hair seemed to flatten upon her head and her cheeks changed to a color that matched the shade of the cheese. Marie screamed and fled while Rolf shrugged at her seemingly odd behavior and merrily took a large bite of the cheese.
As Kevin laughed at the scene that had played out next to him, Nazz placed her hands on Kevin's shoulder and whispered, "I'm so happy you asked me out tonight, Kev."
Kevin turned around and saw Nazz batting her eyelashes playfully. Kevin's face instantly turned a shade of red as he stammered, "Um, yeah. Out. Tonight. You. Me."
Kevin then took a deep breath to regain his composure as he shakily continued, "Um, so prom is coming in a few days. So, like, I was just wondering if, um, anyone had asked you to, ya know, go as yet or something."
Nazz giggled at his stuttering before she coyly responded, "Why do you ask, Kevin? Is there something else you'd like to ask me?"
Kevin's blushed had returned as he answered, "Well you see… the thing is… I was just wondering…"
"Yes…" Nazz's eyes were revealing she too was giddy with anticipation, although she was doing her best to maintain her calm façade.
However, before Kevin could get another word out a loud piercing voice cut him off by shouting, "Step right up folks. Come on and all to the next revolution in moving pictures."
Author's Note: Hey all, this is the end of the first chapter. I know this is a weird place to end it, but this scene goes on forever and I figured I'd break into smaller bits. You will really need to look at Vampire Meerkat's stuff on deviantArt to make sense of what's to come, like Jimmy's crush on Sarah, Johnny's phone, and Eddy's having had a growth spurt. Anywho, chapter 2 is coming out next week so remember to READ and REVIEW. :)
