Chapter One: "Hey New Kid!"

"Hey Lumpy! Come on will ya?" Eddy called down to Ed's room.

Ed walked out of his room, which is in the basement. He looked up the stairs.

"I can't come out and play today, Eddy." Ed said sadly as he flung a backpack onto his back.

"Why not?" Eddy demanded.

"Because he has to go to school! He flunked so he has to go to summer school. Brothers are so stupid." Ed's little sister, Sarah said as she and her friend Jimmy came into the doorway behind Eddy. "And you will be late if you don't hurry up. Mom told me to walk you there. And it's on our way to the new kid's house. So come on."

Ed walked up the stairs and out the door to the backyard. There he looked up at the sky.

"Fare thee well good summer. I knew thee well."

"Ed? That's from Shakespeare! Where in the world did you hear that?"

"I read books Double-D. But apparently not enough. Good-bye cruel world."

"It's just summer school Ed. It'll be over in a few weeks."

"Wait a minute! Sarah, did you say 'the new kid's house?'" Eddy asked apparently not keeping up on the conversation.

"Yeah. The house is over by Jimmy's. Me and him are gonna go and bake them some cookies. Come on Jimmy! ED!" Sarah said then turned to a holler.

"'Over by Jimmy's house'? Eh. Well let's go welcome the little sap to my Cul-de-Sac."

"Pardon me but your Cul-de-Sac? It's hardly yours as it is mine. Let's go introduce ourselves. And we will make her feel welcome. Won't we Eddy?"

"Yeah yeah sure sure."

They then left Ed's backyard and headed over to Jimmy's house. The rest of the Cul-de-Sac was already there. Minus Ed, Sarah and Jimmy.

"Cool bike. Where'd ya get it?" Kevin, the Cul-de-Sac smart ass, asked.

"I got it from my dad. He built it."

"He BUILT it?" asked the cool girl on the block, Nazz.

"Yeah. After he started his scroll saw business. He came into good money and as a present for helping him, he bought the equipment and built me my cycle. And it's a motorcycle. I just can't drive it until I get my license and that won't be until I turn 16."

"Well then, it's not that cool. Not like my corvette sitting in my garage." Eddy piped up. "Hey new kid! I'm king around here and you need my permission to lie about your training wheeled tricycle."

The group of kids moved out of the way. Eddy found himself facing a girl that can only be described as cool. She had jet-black hair, (at least it looked black under the hot pink bandana) from the distance it looked like she had bright green eyes, her shirt was a tie-dye shirt underneath a pair of khaki overall shorts, her socks were gold with little smiley faces on them that changed faces with a certain movement (holographic) and her shoes were black high tops with red, white, and blue shoelaces. All and all she looked really cool.

"What did you say? You pug-nosed little weasel?"

With that remark the crowd of kids started laughing. One of them, the tallest was laughing the hardest.

"That's as good as when Nana shaved her back hair and put it in Momma's stew!" he exclaimed.

"You're a girl!"

"Boy your as bright as a 1 watt light bulb."

"Well my mom doesn't call me sun for nothing."

"Oh please Eddy!" Double-D said rolling his eyes.

"Oh shut up sock head!"

"Listen, I better get going. I'm late for my job."

"You have a job?" asked Nazz.

"Yeah. I will be tutoring a summer school student. Well bye!" and with that she ran off. But she stopped at the corner. "By the way, my name is Toni!" she called back and then continued running.
