The Plan
"If I may say, you are looking quite beautiful today…" The corners of his lips stretched further apart as a small drizzle of water from his watering can fell upon his blooming white roses. "Maybe I should pick one and set it on the dining room table, I'm sure mother would love that. I do have that one vase…" He drawled out, wondering if the woman would be pleased.
"Double D!" A voice yelled, the gardener soon realized who it was. "Where are you at Sockhead!" The voice then asked, the volume getting louder, showing that they were coming closer as each second passed.
Edd swallowed hard and quickly stood up, maybe if he was quick enough, he could prevent what was thought to be the unpreventable. Right as he began to step over the many of his flowers, the other two Ed's stormed in, coming through the sliding door. Thankfully Ed didn't break that door this time. "Hello Gentlemen, how ar- Ed! What are you doing?!" He gasped, watching the taller one rip a rose from the others before examining it. Looks like he was wrong, you can't prevent the unpreventable.
"Double D, don't you know what this is?" Ed asked, giving Edd an amazed look. "In the movie; Doom of the Vinosaurus, this is what they used as armor to protect themselves." He poked one of the thorns and gave a small wince, "Are you going to make your own armor?" He asked while poking another thorn. How easily it was to entertain Ed still amazed the nerd more than it should have.
Edd blinked before realizing this was Ed that was talking. "N-No Ed…" He began, trying to keep the anger out of his voice. "I plant these just because. I enjoy seeing their beauty every day, even though destruction is seen coming." He muttered, looking sadly at the ripped vines. Shaking his head, he had to pretend he didn't see Ed ripping out another flower from the rest. He tore his eyes from the other and looked at Eddy to find the shorter Ed was standing in his plants. "Do you have no respect?" He finally asked with a slight fit, kneeling down to see the damage done to his hard work. If anything else happened, he wasn't quite sure he could keep his anger in check.
Eddy rolled his eyes and stepped away from what looked like weeds now. "We came to talk to you about this genius thing I thought of last night. I had a dream Double D, it was marvelous." He grinned, "I just had to let the both of you know so I could spread the geniusness." Ignoring Edd's small negative mumble, he continued with that same spark in his eye he always had when he had a plan. Edd definitely couldn't wait to hear about this new scam that was so sure to work. He mentally rolled his eyes. "You know how the seniors pull a prank every year? Well I figured out the best prank ever and it has yet to happen. Big Bro might think his prank was great but mine will be on top." Hitting his fist into his palm, his eyes looked at the two devilishly. "We'll be remembered for years."
Edd looked up to see the determination on Eddy's face; he understood why Eddy would want to beat his brother at something like this. His brother was a jerk who thought he was the best at everything. "What's the prank?" He asked, fingers gently pulling out the crushed stems and leaves. He would make this garden beautiful again, even if it was the last thing he could do. "I will help out in any way I can, even if it is ridicules like some of your plans are." He looked over to see if Ed was paying attention at all but he was still staring at that crushed rose.
"Glad to have your support, I'm going to need it." Eddy began before taking a seat in the grass. "So, you know how prom's coming up right? Everyone is going to be there, at least everyone I dislike. Like Shovel-Chin, the football team, the teachers." He began listing on his fingers, his grin began growing as excitement filled him. "It's about time I give a little pay back for the hellish treatment they put me through these last twelve years." He enthused.
"Fourteen if you count Kindergarten and Preschool, Eddy." Edd corrected. "Also, only the teachers of the high school are going to be there so you can't get your "pay back" from the previous year's teachers'." He paused when seeing Eddy giving him a look of annoyance. "My apologizes, please continue." He smiled nervously, relieved when that look slowly disappeared.
"Anyway, as I was saying before I was interrupted…" He drawled out before smiling again. "I found out from a great source that they are going to drop hundreds of balloons during the final dance. Now Sockhead, imagine with that big brain of yours that every balloon was filled with something. Ed suggested Kool-aid, which I didn't think was such a bad idea, because it stains clothing. Imagine how much everyone would have to pay to dry clean their clothes. Following that, we can open our own dry cleaning to earn some cash." He added before going back to his prank, not wanting to get distracted by the thought of all the money he could earn like usual. "We'll have to slip inside the night before prom and replace all the balloons with our own and then watch the beauty of our prank as guests of the dance ourselves."
Edd found himself smiling slightly, he enjoyed it when his friends would get this excited. "I'll help if that's what you want. Oh dear, that means I'll have to get a suit. Maybe father will allow me to use one of his…" He muttered to himself. "This prank seems quite messy, imagine how long it would take to clean everything up. How bothersome…" He continued to himself softly. "If we get caught, it will be us cleaning up also…"
"We're not going to get caught since we're going to get covered too, and then they won't expect us." Eddy stood up, "Glad to hear that you're so into helping us out seeing you are the one who's buying the tickets and the supplies. I'm broke and Ed here spent all of his allowance on a new horror movie or something like that. We'll have to talk about this again." He looked over at Ed who was currently picking thorns out of his tongue, "Come on Lumpy, we have places to go, and stop eating all of his flowers." He ordered.
Ed stood up obediently and lowered his head in shame. "Sorry Eddy, I was just trying to find its weakness…" He explained as the followed the shorter one out.
Edd's jaw dropped as he watched them quickly make their escape. Did he really expect him to pay for everything?
