Eddy…Eddy…come in, Eddy! Do you hear me Eddy?
It was a warm and sunny day in October. The first few months of school went by fast for some. Not for eddy. Eddy hated school; the only thing keeping him going was his friends, Ed and Edd (double D). As he started walking to school, his friends started to catch up with him.
"Eddy!" yells Double D.
"That's my name." he replies.
"You were supposed to wake me and Edd up. Now we're going to be late."
"Hey, I wanted to get this school over with, and besides I was half asleep at the time."
Eddy was in his usual demeanor; Cranky, money loving, and jawbreaker coveting. Not much has changed since sixth grade, except Eddy had started smoking and had been in and out of juvey.
As Eddy walked to the bus stop, he pulls a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and began to smoke.
"I still don't tolerate you smoking, Eddy." exclaims Double D. "Do you know what that can do to your lungs?"
"Who cares? It's not gonna kill me." Replies Eddy.
"Yes it will! I know what tobacco does to you."
"And do I look like I care?" asks Eddy.
Meanwhile, Ed is seen bounding across the sidewalk, more excited than a kid at Christmas.
"guys, GUYS!" yells Ed.
"What is it, Ed." Double D exclaims.
"Check this out!"
Ed pulls out a flier. In the middle of the paper was a city, a city under water, saying…
Come to Rapture!
The First Underwater city!
Enjoy the sights, sound, music, cuisine and past time!
"Wow! That is amazing!" says Double D.
"I'll say. A city underwater!" says Eddy.
As Eddy starts to look at the poster, he notices the bottom. As he starts to realize the predicament they would be in, he started to tell his friends.
"Guys." Says Eddy.
The others were talking.
"Guys…" eddy says, impatiently.
Still talking.
"Guys, for God's sake listen to me!"
"Geez, Eddy. You don't have to shout." Answers Ed.
As Eddy tries to hold his anger back, he then starts to tell them what was on his mind.
"Guys, look at the price it is for a ticket."
"What? One hundred and fifty dollars?"
"Where are we going to get that kind of money?" says Ed.
It was a long pause as the Eds wondered what to do. After maybe five minutes, Eddy began to speak up.
"Well…we could do some scamming."
"Eddy, do you want to end up in juvey again? Remember the last time you tried to sell that fake watch to the pawn shop and they called the cops on you after you left?" says double d.
"Dude, it was a perfectly good plan. Besides, I got some real stuff I could sell."
"Like what?" asks Ed?
"Well, I could sell some pirated movies or something." Answers Eddy.
"Eddy!"
"Alright, alright. Damn, don't get your panties in a bunch."
"Fine, Eddy. Go try your idea. But if you get sent to prison…"
"Whatever."
"Meanwhile, I will be selling some of my old clothes to NiceWill."
Eddy begins to laugh uncontrollably. He never realized how cheap Double D was.
As he pulls himself together, he can barely make out a full sentence without snickering.
"Really? That is...Heehee…the worst...Hoohaa…idea ever."
"Shut your mouth, Eddy. We'll talk about it at lunch and after school today."
The bus begins to pull up, just in time, because they had taken up three quarters of waiting just talking and thinking about what to do.
Eddy begins to get on the bus. As he sits down in the first spot, double d starts to join him in the seat next to him. Ed gets on the other side of the aisle and begins to eat the gravy cakes in his pocket he had saved from last year.
"Eddy, listen to me. You and I know that we want to go to that place, and so does Ed. But, what if we don't make it in time?" Asks Eddy.
"Calm down, Sock head. We'll get there." Answers Eddy.
As they speed off towards school, Ed's flier flies out the window, and onto the street behind him…
