"Put yer coin in the jar ya pigeon" jerked eddy shaking the jar in front of Johnny for a quarter. Hesitantly Johnny plopped the round silver coin into the empty jar, as soon as eddy remembered that plank was along w/ them. Eddy attempting but as always failing trying to get some precious jawbreaker money for him and his other ed pals tried to get Johnny to pay for his piece of plywood. But Ed had already put Johnny on the cheaply made, but genius designed boat. Off they went down the river w/ ed splashing along the side w/ a rubber glove suctioned onto his head as if he were a chicken screaming out "I AM NEPTUNE, KING OF ALL BUTTERY TOAST, HARK DO I HEAR A GIRAFFE CALLING MY NAME DOUBLE D!?" and in a correcting manner double d babbled on how that giraffes have such a low call you cant hear what they bellow out. Getting tired off ed and double d fighting about how the formula of gravy and yttrium do not even have the least bit thing in common, eddy focused his eyes on the river and the houses he passed by. Taking an occasional glance back at Johnny at the end of the boat-using plank as an oar. Soon after they passed Kevin's house and remembering the usual names he called them suck as dorks, dorks, and he tried even harder to think of a different insult Kevin had in the past pitched at the three Ed's but all that came was dorks.. Then came Nazz's the girl that the boys had had crushes on since they could remember and eddy felt his palms begin to sweat like they always did whenever he was around nazz, then he floated off into a fantasy were nazz was pouring money from a lemonade pitcher into eddy's hands, these were the usual daydreams he had w/ nazz in them. And very rudely eddy heard a loud beeping noise that came from trucks when they were in reverse. Now peering through the fence cracks trying to make out an image of a family moving into the empty house of the neighborhood is exactly what was going on! Fiercely eddy curved the boat to one side of the stream that inter wove through the backsides of the cul-de-sac. Eddy jumping off first and onto the grass headed over to his house in a rush yelling back at Johnny w/ a hushed voice "all Amazon river tours have been cancelled due to technical difficulties" and tossing the quarter back to his feet. Ed flopping onto the muddy ground second wriggling on his side like a fish that just got popped out of its home and suffocating to death in the air. And double d tiptoeing onto the ground trying not to get his feet muddy ran over w/ ed at his side to go see what the problem was w/ eddy's sudden stop in their scheme to get jawbreakers. Panting for life giving air double d was last to come into eddy's room only to see him at his blinds w/ a pair of binoculars peering through the shades across the street at the new family unpacking they're things. "Why of all the unfriendly and certainly not respectful thing to do to some one eddy, to steal their privacy w/out knowing you two should be ashamed of yourselves going and-" double d was cut of short by Ed's grasping hand over his flapping mouth. "Quiet double d we are playing library" informed Ed. "I said that to make him shut up," continued eddy. "Hopefully you get the idea that im trying not to make a scene". Double d peered through the blinds to see only a family. "What's so special about that eddy" mussed double d. "its- its" then pointing to a figure just barely close to make out. "Her".
