Kevin was furious. Yet again his baby, his pride and joy, his dear bike was utterly, mercilessly destroyed as a result of one of the Eds' scams. The bike chain was shattered to bits, the handlebars and wheels were mangled and unrecognizable; what was once a bike was now reduced to a piece of abstract art. Kevin glared at Eddy and his cohorts, successfully instilling a sense of dread into their cores as they stood frozen in place, he then proceeded to pulverize them (as was usual for him). The beating took no longer than a few minutes and while it did not bring his bike back, it did, however, make him feel just a little bit better. It was starting to get dark out so Kevin headed home leaving the Eds in an incapacitated pile of bruises and teeth. "Later, dorks!"
Upon seeing Kevin's glum face as he lackadaisically poked at his spaghetti (a favorite dish of his), Kevin's mom inquired "how was your day, pumpkin?" with a sympathetic sweetness to her voice. "Boring..." he said with a side glance. She could tell he was lying. "Now that can't be true..." she said with a continued sweetness. "...There must have been something exciting happen today. I know that Rolf boy you hang out with is quite the character and that Nazz is always up to something...cool." she said with some uncertainty. "I...just don't want to talk about it" he muttered dejectedly. Dinner continued with little to no conversation as Kevin tried to eat the spaghetti his mother had lovingly prepared for him to no avail. He then went upstairs to his bed all the while wishing the events of today hadn't transpired. The cause of his despair? The Eds.
He thought to himself, none of this would've happened if Eddy and his friends weren't constantly trying to scam us. He had always thought of the Eds as a single entity who did everything together. But the more he thought about it, he came to realize that they really weren't. He then thought about what it would be like if one of the group was missing from the equation. This was really not something he would think about. Ever. But for some reason the thought just latched on and he decided to entertain it, so to speak. Okay let's start with double dweeb. He builds all those...things. Those "things" being the cantankerous contraptions that were so volatile and unpredictable. Without him, the scams would never even work in the first place! But then it occurred to him that Double D would only build those things because Eddy told him to and really wasn't all that bad- despite being a total weenie, a stick in the mud, and a snitch. Eddy and Ed were trying to scam people even before he came into the picture, anyway. So what difference would it have made? Okay, how about Ed? He thought to himself. Surely if the most destructive member of the group was out of the picture, things wouldn't get nearly as out of hand. Though that was true, it didn't change the fact that Eddy and Double D would probably still try to scam people, they just wouldn't have the muscle element. That brought Kevin full circle back to Eddy. Eddy. Ugh. The name itself made him cringe. That attention seeking narcissist was always trying to steal the spotlight from him whenever he was doing something cool to impress the neighborhood kids. He was always after everyone's allowance and his voice was so annoying. Certainly, The Eds would be very different if Eddy wasn't around...
Kevin smiled. A world without Eddy? The idea of it sounded too good to be true. No more scams, no more competition for the spotlight, and no more "Eds". Or at least no more of the "Eds" he came to know and despise. The thought of "a world without Eddy" calmed Kevin's racing mind as he began to drift off. "I wish it were true..." he mumbled before falling into a deep REM sleep.
