No Plan Needed

Hiya! I'm back! Well, I really don't know what this story is going to be about… but if it turns out good, I'm posting it. I don't have any idea what to do, so… hence the title, I'll try to make it relate to the story though. It really has been way too long since my last story. Do you even remember me?
…Yeah… I haven't exactly been as active as I used to be. So, that's why I am returning today! Hurrah!
So, here's No Plan Needed.
-----
One summer's afternoon, Ed sat in his room.
"One little, two little, three little dust bunnies. Four little, five little, six little dust bunnies…"
There was a knock on his door, but he didn't reply. The polite knocking turned impatient, and then the door opened.
"10 little dust bunnies there" Ed finished his song.
"Ed?" Edd, the visitor asked as he entered Ed's room.
"Shhhh… they're sleeping." Ed said, pointing to the piles of dust sitting in his room, resting under Kleenexes.
Edd couldn't help but smile, "Dear Ed," he started, "Dust doesn't-"
"Awww… they have my nose." Ed interrupted, looking proudly at the piles, "and Gertrude's smile…"
*Note: Gertrude is Rolf's chicken*
"Ummm… well-" Edd began again. When suddenly, the door he had so carefully closed just seconds earlier came crashing open.
"Guys! We gotta get to work!" Eddy said, barely containing himself.
"Good Morning to you too, Eddy" Edd replied.
"I had the greatest idea!" Eddy continued.
"I'm doing fine, thanks for asking." Edd said.
Eddy frowned at Edd, "What's your problem?"
"Shhhh!" scolded Ed, before Edd could reply.
Edd smiled at Eddy, "Quiet Eddy, you don't want to wake Ed's children, do you?"
Eddy looked at the piles of dust, "That stuff makes me sneeze, come on, let's go." he said, as he left the room. Ed and Edd followed as soon as Ed was positive the dust was asleep.
Once the trio met outside of the house, Edd was curious about Eddy's great idea.
"So, what poorly made contraption are we going to make today, Eddy?" he asked.
Eddy grinned, "I have no idea."
Edd froze… "What?"
"That's my idea!" Eddy schemed, "They won't even know what's coming if we don't"
Edd stopped to ponder this theory.
"So," he said after a while, "You're saying if we don't have any idea or direction as to the how, why, or WHATS of our scam… they fall for it? Have you gone mad?"
"I dunno, Double-D," Ed remarked, examining Eddy's expression, "he looks pretty happy to me."
"Eddy, your theory is-" Edd stopped, trying to find the right word. Finally, he found it. "ridiculous!"
"So is Jonny 2X4, but he gets by, right?" Eddy replied.
"I suppose so…" answered Edd.
"Then let's get to work."
"WHAT work?!??!"
"Tomato!"
----------------------
"COME ONE, COME ALL! TO ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS EVER!" yelled Eddy, from the booth that they had finally managed to drag out from under Eds bed. The sign on the booth (that once read: "Sandwiches") was smeared and illegible.
"Vague, Eddy, very vague." Edd remarked.
Eddy beamed, "I know, isn't this great."
"Suckers, I see" Ed announced as he saw Nazz and Kevin walk up.
Kevin frowned, "What's this?"
"Good question." Edd answered.
"Only one of the most mysterious, fascinating, amazing things ever!" Eddy said.
"And that it is," Ed said, he stood on top of the booth. "They said it could never exist on our planet! They said it was impossible! But we- the Eds- managed after 50 years of endless trail and error, experimenting, and suffering. We have captured it for your amusement! Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in front of an audience-"
"Ed! They're gone!" Eddy yelled.
"They must have figured out that if we were actually selling something we would get to the point sooner." Edd said.
Ed blinked, "What are we doing?"
"Eddy, I said this before," Edd insisted, "this is not going to work. Let's put this booth away and try to think of another idea."
"It sounded like a good idea" Eddy said.
"And once again it works for Jaha!" Ed remarked.
-End-
Jaha: So… I am not sure if this is any good. Pretty much, Eddy decided that maybe if he doesn't know what he's doing, neither would the kids and they would fall for it.
Cactus Buddy: Starting something without any idea where it's going? Sounds like someone I know.
Jaha: *playing stupid* Who? *no longer stupid* Well, I don't usually do that when writing stories… I usually have a plan. But- this is an ideal example of how things end up when I start off with absolutely nothing. I hope it's good. Right now, I am just trying to get back into writing. And yes, as Ed said in the last line… it did work quite well for me, as it always does.
Well, I'll be back soon again… hopefully. -Jaha
