Eu Tu, Edwina?
Another series of drabbles focusing on times and events between Edwina Plunder and various eco-villains and planeteers.
AN: Well after the 1st Edwina fic, I've decided to post these drabbles. Each chapter features a different main cast + Edwina. Each chapter was inspired by a song too. I'm introducing one more character who my BF created - Sludge Jr. Sly Sludge is supposed to represent 'ignorance' and she pointed out that nothing is more ignorant then not knowing you have a kid until said kid shows up at your door... He'll show up more later. So, read and enjoy.
Song Inspiration - Lady Gaga's Poker Face
Chapter 1: Take It All Off
(Edwina approx. 7 years old)
When all of the eco-villains collaborated on some new scheme, it was the generally only a discussion between the "leaders" - the various followers/assistants were never involved, with the exception of MAL. So while the bosses were off planning, the underlings had time to do...well, whatever.
Rigor and Bleak were good buddies - Plunder and Greedly often collaborated so the two had formed a bit of a bond. Whenever there was time, they went off to do some new extreme sport. Leadsuit and Ooze were actually old acquaintances from high school - neither had known until Ooze had brought his yearbook to one meeting. They also shared a love of beer - and so they ended up in taverns. On the other hand, both Greedly Junior (known just as Junior) and Sludge Jr loved video games - especially fighting ones. They two were quick to head off to the nearest arcade and waste hundreds playing. That left Skumm's Rat Pack. None of the other underlings ever wanted to bother with the Rat Pack, which was fine with them as there were more than enough of them to keep entertained. But Edwina often wondered just what they did on their off time. She knew everyone else's habits by now. So, one fine day when once again the eco-villains collaborated and the underlings went off to play, Edwina sought out the Rat Pack.
She watched them for a while from a metal scaffold up high - they were sitting at a table and doing something with cards...every once and a while someone who take off some clothing. This confused Edwina - were they hot? It seemed comfortable to her in the building. The pattern continued, they used the cards some more and then someone removed a piece of clothing. It was so confusing. Finally, she decided to just ask and made her way down.
The Rat Pack was a little surprised to see Edwina down in the basement, but nonetheless welcomed her. Ridge, the 2nd under Skumm, was more than happy to explain their game to Edwina: Strip Poker.
Three hours later, Edwina was celebrating yet another victory as Endi was forced down to his undies (the Rat Pack insisted on stopping there, for Edwina's sake). None of them could believe how fast Edwina had picked up on Poker. Frin had called her a natural - Ridge had said it was her "Plunder Genes", whatever that meant. Wressi, one of the few females in the pack, was still the best player by far but Edwina was able to beat quite a few pack mates at their favorite game.
Later in the evening, as she was readying herself for bed, Looten arrived back. He asked Edwina what she had done to pass the time all day - Edwina had just smiled sweetly back.
"Oh, nothing much Daddy."
Her "nothing much" would eventually lead to embarrassment for Skumm, anger from Looten, and a certain Planeteer being put in a very compromising situation...
