Solar Flare : An Ed, Edd'n, Eddy Story - Chapter 1: Gathering the Cul-de-sac
Disclaimer : I do not own any part of 'Ed,Edd'n Eddy', only this story.
This is my first story, enjoy!
It was a sunny, beautiful day, the average temperature was about 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and it was 3 o'clock in the evening. And our favorite trio was on Eddy's lawn.
"Blugggibleuaaa!" Ed gibbered while thrusting his head into a centimeter thick stick placed horizontally on two towers of bricks. He was drifting off from yet another one of Eddy's scams, adopted from his big brother, and was wearing karate-styled clothes and was shirtless."Ed! What are you doing? And why aren't you wearing a shirt? And what's up with the pants?" Eddy yelled with anger from Ed forgetting his devious and silly plan. "We're supposed to go to the unknown, the strange, the Ed-tacular!"
"I don"t see why we can't do a scam without using our names in it." Murmured Double-D. "Now, even though we are only-- let me rephrase that-- barely teenagers, we are trying to make a working space shuttle without grown-up help; along with the rest of the cul-de-sac going on it. May I remind you that I'm not exactly the leader of NASA--"
"Just get to the point!!!" Eddy yelled even more irritated than when he was yelling at Ed. "I already know the plan! Just tell me the important part!"
"Ah-ah-ah! No pointing fingers, if you point your finger, you might hit a wall!" Ed, of course, said. There was a five-second pause.
"Ahem, as I was saying, shouldn't we test our shuttle out before we bring it to the public's attention?" Double-D remarked. "After all, the prices could be dire." He said in a dark voice, hesitating at the end of the sentence.
"Eh, I'll take my chances, when is it going to be ready?" Eddy replied, even though he completely ignored Double-D.
"I suppose it'll be ready in half an hour." Double-D sighed, while cranking bolts into the shuttle's thrusters.
"Perfect! In half an hour, prepare to be buried in money! Then, there come the jawbreakers!" (lol, that sounded weird) Eddy laughed.
Half an hour later...
"Ready, Eddy!" Double-D yelled, he had to, since Eddy was sitting inside, watching TV. Strangely, Ed was helping place the glass windshield for the cockpit-- the last part that was finished. "I've always liked saying that," he repeated 'Ready Eddy' five times and got interrupted by an excited Eddy.
"Yeah-yeah I heard you the first time." Eddy said, not knowing that Double-D just liked saying that. "Now, let's bag some suckers." Eddy whispered loudly, rubbing his hands together and biting his tongue.
"Okay, young sir." Ed replied, wearing his usual outfit again. And he went to his house, got a plastic bag and went door to door looking for candy.
"What an idiot...I'll do it myself." Eddy snared. In a few minutes, he had brought all of the children of the cul-de-sac to his front lawn.
"Good morning citizens! I'm here to bring you our shuttle, you can go for a ride with us to Mars, with hi-tech spacesuits and actually land on it! Plus, we will have robot room service and definitely first class seating along the way!" Eddy said, through a mega-phone. "All for a small charge of 1 dollar!"
"What kind of food is there?" Johnny asked.
"Oh, we've got a lifetime supply with many varieties of eggs, pickles, milk, and potato-" Double-D said before being interrupted.
"Ed boys! Have you been feasting on Rolf's potatoes?!" Rolf sneered.
"Potato-chips, Rolf." Double-D replied.
"Heh...yeah...chips." Johnny said while quickly stuffing a spud into his mouth, hiding others in his pocket.
"C'mon Jimmy, this is stupid, why would anybody want to go in space?" Sarah whispered loudly to Jimmy.
"Aw...come on Sarah! Why not be the first teens in space?" Nazz said.
"Yeah, Sarah! It'll be fun! First class and room service!" Jimmy whined.
"Hmm...how about n-" She was about to yell before being interrupted by Nazz.
"Hey, Sarah! Double-D just told me that they had a beauty salon!" Sarah paused and slowly turned to stare at Jimmy.
"Jimmy!!! We just have to go!" Sarah squealed.
"Well, I've already made up my mind, being one of the first teens to go into space!" Nazz said.
"If she goes I go." Kevin casually added.
"Why?" Nazz asked.
"Well, um...ya know..." Kevin stuttered.
"Can we just get on with this?" Eddy moaned. ⌠Ed's neck is getting tired and the robots are getting rusty!"
"OKAY!" They all yelled. They packed all of their belongings and were set to go. Kevin, Rolf, Nazz, Jimmy, Sarah, Johnny, and the trio (besides Double-D) walked into their shuttle; Jimmy was holding Sarah's hand and the rest casually walked onto a metal ramp, leading to the air-locking shuttle door.
Meanwhile, Double-D was giving more information about safety, health, heart problems, allergies, and medical care. After they were all loaded, Double-D hopped in and they were ready for liftoff.
"Please fasten all of your seatbelts 'cause we're about to liftoff. Remember, if you begin to have trouble bre, bree--(what's this? "That's breathing." oh,) breathing, simply place an oxygen mask over your mouth and nose; located right above every seat. The restrooms are at the front and back of the seating room at the sides. If you feel sleepy, just recline your seat. Remember, be respectful to the ship's property and your fellow passengers. You are now on the second floor, the first floor would be where the engines are, the arcade is on the third floor, the beauty salon is on the fourth floor, which would be where the spas are, and the top floor will be where Double-D will play the bass! Now sit back and enjoy the ride to Mars!" Eddy said through a microphone.
