One day at school, Brendon, Melissa, and Jason were sitting in the school yard talking, "I tell you guys, sometimes I just feel like we're not accomplishing much as filmmakers around here, I mean our movies aren't too good, and we're not making money off them. I just don't know what to do." Brendon said with a sigh. He was getting thoughts about trying to run away agien, but he loved his mother and had a good home life, so that was something he would really have to consider.
"you're right Brendon, our movies haven't been good at all lately, and we could use some more assistance." Jason stated.
Coach Mcguirk then walked by them, and decided to give them some advice from what he heard. "Hey, Brendon, I heard you and your pals are in a bit of a slump here. Is that true?" He asked
"Yeah, it is Coach Mcguirk, we just feel we're going nowhere, and I haven't come up with a movie idea in God knows how long, it's just crazy, you know what I mean coach?" Brendon responded, looking down in shame.
Coach Mcgurk nodded and said. "Well, yeah, you know I have those days too. Where you just flat-out feel like a failure, like you won't amount to anything, that feeling really sucks big time huh?"
Brendon nodded. "Yeah, it really dose suck."
Coach McGuirk then scratched his head thinking about what to say. "Yeah, well, you can't give up Brendon, you understand? You got to push as far as you can with your dreams, or you could end up a drunk coach like me." He then looked down.
"Brendon, I think I know what Coach Mcguirk is trying to say, we gotta try our best to succeed and not give up!" Melissa said in an encouraging tone with a smile.
"Well, I was also gonna say you guys gotta stop living in a fantasy world, and do something important with your lives, but that too. Well, good luck on the movies guys, hope things work out for the best." Coach Mcguirk then walked away.
Brendon then looked down and sighed. "Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, what are we gonna do?"
Later at Brendon's house, Brendon was sitting at the kitchen table with his mother Paula, as she was reading the newspaper. "Hey, mom, do you think I'm getting anything big done with my life so far?"
Paula put the newspaper down and said. "Why do you ask honey?"
Brendom sighed and said. "Well, I make movies all the time with Melissa and Jason, but in the end of the day it feels like I'm just not really getting anything big done, like I'm not making money or really making any accomplishment out of it, if you know what I mean."
"Well, you're young still honey, and you got plenty of time to think about what you wanna do with your life, so just enjoy doing them for fun."
Brendon sighed and said. "Yeah, alright." There then was a knock at Brendon's door. "I'll get it." He then sat up and walked to the door. He opened it and saw his friends Jason and Melissa. "Oh, hey guys, come on in."
Jason and Melissa walked in smiling as Brendon closed the front door. "So... what's up guys?"
Melissa and Jason just scratched their heads, not sure of what to say. "Well, I'm just so bored at my house and decided to come over and be bored with you Brendon." Melissa said with a smile.
Jason nodded and said."Yeah, I came over for the same reason."
"Okay, cool, um... so let's go into the basement, and work on a movie, or just do whatever." Brendon replied. He Jason and Melissa then walked down to the basement. They were sitting down there for half an hour, as they were very bored.
"So Brendon, are we gonna work on a movie or something?" Jason asked as he yawned.
Brendon then thought about it and said. "Guys, don't you see what's going on here?"
Jason and Melissa looked at each other, curious, wondering what Brendon was talking about. "What do you mean Brendon?" Melissa asked.
"What I mean is we're getting bored of this same old life of nothing but school and making movies. I mean summer vacation is coming up, this is the perfect opportunity to get out and have a big adventure!"
Melissa then got a little nervous and thought Brendon was talking about running away again. "B-but Brendon, don't tell me we're gonna try to run away again, we tried that and it didn't work."
"I don't mean run away Melissa, I mean get out and have an adventure and our parents wouldn't know we're gone. Hell, my mom thought I was gonna run away when I told her and she just acted like it was no big deal. It's not like we would be running away forever, just long enough to really get somewhere in life, and get out of this crappy sheltered life." Brendon stated as he sat up and started pacing.
Melissa then thought about it, an adventure would be nice for a change to get away from the usual film making. "You know Brendon, that doesn't sound like a bad idea, I mean it's not really running away I guess, but I hope our parents won't get too worried about us."
"Alright! So who's in? I am, Melissa are you in?" Brendon said, with a smile.
"I'm in for sure!" Melissa said, raising her hand.
"What about you Jason?" Brendon asked.
Jason was looking at Melissa, thinking she was real pretty today. Melissa noticed he was looking at her. "Um... Jason?" She asked surprised.
"Huh, oh, yeah count me in Brendon!" Jason shouted.
"Awesome guys, we'll plan it all out when the last day of school comes. Oh, this is gonna be so cool! It's time for a change baby!" Brendon said in an excited tone.
Jason and Melissa then looked at each other a little nervous, they hoped Brendon knew what he was doing this time, and it didn't turn out like the time they tried to run away.
About 1 week later the day had come, it was the last day of school. Brendon, Jason, and Melissa were riding back from school on the bus. Jason and Melissa were nervous and a little excited of what Brendon was planning for their big adventure.
Jason, Brendon, and Melissa were sitting in the back of the bus. They all were just silent and not saying anything, but they were excited. "Umm... so Brendon, it's been a week, and you still haven't told us your plan on how we're gonna have a big adventure." Jason asked.
Brendon was silent thinking hard to answer. He had thought about it all week, and still couldn't think of a good plan. He thought hard and hard as Jason and Melissa were just waiting for an answer.
He then got an idea at the last minute, he snapped his finger and said. "Alright guys, this may sound simple and it's not the best plan, but it's all I got right now, so are you guys ready to hear the plan?"
Jason and Melissa nodded smiling in anticipation to hear Brendon's big idea. "Alright guys, well, I got some allowance in my room, and I got plenty for us to travel on a bus for a few days, so that should be a perfect way for us to have a big adventure. What do you guys think?" Brendon said with a smile.
"Gosh Brendon, that sounds like a plan you worked up in one minute, we waited all week for you to think of that?" Jason stated.
"What? N-N-No, this idea took allot of hard planning." Brendon said. He really didn't want to tell Jason and Melissa it actually was just a last minute idea.
"Well, okay Brendon, I really like the plan, it's a little simple but I like it." Melissa said, with a smile in a happy tone.
Jason nodded. "Yeah, dude, I can't wait."
"Okay, so we'll meet at the bus stop in about 2 hours, that gives time for us to get ready incase we wanna pack anything." Brendon said having the final word as Jason and Melissa nodded, willing to go along with the plan.
Meanwhile, over at peach creek in the Cul-de-Sac, by Double D's house, the Eds had just got home from school and they were ready for a good new summer for scamming, and their scam to start it all off was no other then "Ed-Bubble-Madness"
Double D was building the stand with a hammer, Ed was drawing the sign, and Eddy was getting bubble soap bottles out of a box they found in the junkyard. "Oh, baby, this scam is gonna put us on the map boys, I can see it now, jawbreakers everywhere! Fame and fortune non-stop, we're gonna be on top baby!"
Double D had now finished building that stand, and now hammered the last nail in with a few good hits. He smiled and took a deep breath. "It's ready Eddy! We just need to wait for Ed to finish with the sign.
"Hey, Lumpy, how's that sign going gruesome?" Eddy asked Ed with a smile.
"I am the sign maker Eddy!" Ed shouted as he then showed Eddy the sign.
"Ed! You did something right! Way to go Lumpy, I'd hug you, only if it weren't for your pits." Eddy said in a happy tone as he then grabbed the sign and placed it on the top of the stand. "We're gonna be rich boys, I can feel it, and now just for the final touch." Eddy then grabbed the bubble bottles and put them on the stand.
He then grabbed the bubble wand out of the box and gave it to Ed. "Okay, big guy, this is your only job, and I know you can do it well. When the kids come by you blow the biggest bubbles ever seen, blow like never before, and you better not screw it up you understand?"
"Okay, Eddy! Haha," Ed responded as he then walked behind the stand with the bubble wand all ready to go.
"Come one! Come all! See the greatest world's largest bubbles ever Brown at the one and only Ed-Bubble-Madness! Only a lousy 25-cents." Eddy shouted.
Double D walked behind the stand next to Ed, and rolled his eyes. "Oh, boy, does he really think this silly-juvenile scam is going to make us money?"
Just then Jimmy and Sarah walked by the stand and they gasped in excitement. "Wow! I love bubbles! I want to see a big one!" Jimmy said with a smile.
Eddy walked behind the stand and placed the money jar next to the bubble bottles and said. "Only gonna cost you a quarter curly-cue, and your friend has to pay too, or no bubble show."
Jimmy grabbed Sarah by the arm and said. "C'mon Sarah, I want to see the bubbles!"
Sarah rolled her eyes and said. "Oh, alright." They then reached into their pockets and put the money in the jar, and Eddy then picked up the jar and kissed it.
Double D then took the lids off the soap-bubble bottles and said. "Prepare yourself for amazement you never experienced before, as our very own Ed, uses his very special hidden talent to blow the largest bubbles ever seen by the human eye, so large that-"
"Oh, for God sake, just get on with it!" Sarah interrupted.
"There's no need for rudeness Sarah." Double D said under his breath. "Very well then, Ed! Show everyone your stuff, blow like you never blew before!"
Ed dipped the bubble wand into all of the bottles and shouted, "I am the bubble master! Haha," He then held the wand to his mouth and blew and massive bubbles were coming out.
Sarah and Jimmy were amazed. "Wow Sarah, such pretty bubbles, hehe." Just then as Jimmy was jumping throughout all the bubbles he got stuck in one. He rolled in the bubble trying to get out but it wouldn't pop.
"Jimmy!" Sarah yelled, she then looked at the Eds and shook her fist. "Look what your stupid scam did to Jimmy!"
Ed then stopped blowing and they all 3 looked at Sarah terrified. Eddy chuckled, holding the money jar tightly. "Um... no refunds, haha."
Sarah was so mad her hair was on fire and she screamed at the top of her lungs. She then jumped over to the stand and beat the living daylights out of Eddy, and got her and Jimmy's money back. She then hit Eddy over the head with the jar, then kicked the stand over and it broke and all the bubble soap spilled.
"Our scam's ruined!" Eddy shouted as he broke down and started crying.
Sarah stuck her tongue out at Eddy, and then chased after Jimmy, as he was bouncing in the bubble all throughout the Cul-de-Sac. All the other bubbles slowly then began to pop, and the Eds kept getting hit with bubble soap. "Well, at least it looks like I got a second shower today." Double D said, trying to think positive.
"You no good bitch!" Eddy yelled at Sarah at the top of his lungs, he then screamed and started kicking the soap bubble bottles, going on an angry rampage.
Double D gasped as Eddy, was breaking everything, screaming like a maniac. He then rushed over, grabbed him by the shoulders, shaking him, trying to calm him down. "Dear Lord, Eddy, control yourself. A little scam gone wrong is no reason to turn into one mother of a maniac!"
"Double D almost said a bad word Eddy." Ed said. He then jumped into the spilled bubble soap and started rolling around laughing.
Eddy pushed Double D off him and yelled. "Don't hover me sockhead!" He then started to cry and fell on the ground sobbing in tears. "It's no use guys! I mean we try to scam all these ungrateful douchebags, every day, and it gets us nothing! We deserve more for all our hard work!"
Double D then gasped in shock to see his dear friend breaking down in pain. He then put his hand on his shoulder, smiled at him and said. "Oh, Eddy, you're just going through a hard time. That's why I try to talk you out of these dang scams, because I know it's getting stressful on you."
Eddy then stopped crying and began to think about it for a few seconds, why was he feeling so depressed today, it could have been the feeling of him and his pals being outcast every day, and the other children often treating them horrible. "You know sockhead, what the problem is us 3 just isn't enough against those kids and the kankers. What we need is some other kids will back us up, and help us get respect from these loser punk-faced assholes."
Double D sat down and nodded his head, looking down. He then said with a sigh. "You know, you're right Eddy, what we need is some more friends."
Kevin then road by on his bike and looked at all the bubble soap and burst his gut laughing. "A bubble-blowing scam? That's pathetic, you dorks are getting lamer everyday."
"Shut up Kevin!" Eddy yelled back in an irritated tone.
"Hey don't tell me to shut up! Piss off dork!" Kevin yelled back, was he then got off his bike, and was then popping his knuckles, getting ready to hit Eddy.
Eddy then gave him the middle finger and yelled back. "Stick it jerk-wad!"
"Oh, dear, this can't be good." Double D said, taking deep breaths very nervously as Ed then hid behind Double D scared.
Kevin was turning red in the face from anger. Eddy then noticing what he just got himself into then got off the ground, and started stepping back. "Hey, Kev, it was just a joke man, come on, lighten up pal." Eddy was sweating, shaking in fear.
Kevin then ran at him, grabbing him by his underwear, he then tied his underwear to his bike and jumped on it, and began to ride. "Let's go for a little ride dorky, haha," Kevin said with an evil smile. Kevin then began to ride his bike as Eddy, was screaming, being dragged by his undies throughout the Cul-de-Sac, and the other neighborhood kids were laughing, pointing at him.
His underwear finally ripped after a few minutes. He then screamed in irritation and walked back to Double D's house. Double D was looking at Eddy, very worried. "Dear Eddy, are you okay? Speak to me!"
This was it, Eddy, had all he could take of the other kids treatment of him, it was going to end here. He then shouted at the top of his lungs. "GO AHEAD! LAUGH ALL YOU WANT YOU BUNCH OF JERKS! THINGS ARE GONNNA CHANGE AROUND HERE, BY GOD YOU'LL ALL SEE!" Eddy screamed so loud, all the kids in the Cul-de-Sac heard him.
Ed and Double D were looking at Eddy horrified, as it was unusual to see even him angry like this. He for sure wasn't joking. Double D then walked to Eddy, and grabbed his arm gently and said with a smile. "Come on Eddy, let's get you home, you've had a long day."
Eddy was taking deep breaths in strong frustration, and he was brushed up bad from both Sarah and Kavin's ruff assaults to him. Double D then began walking him over to his house and he muttered to himself. "We've got to meet some new guys, to help us with these lowlifes, I'm not gonna stand for this much longer, I'm too handsome, I don't deserve this."
Meanwhile, back at Brendon's house, Brendon was in his room packing for the adventure. He closed his suitcase and said with a smile. "Ah, I can just see it, a new life on the road, with my friends."
He then took his suitcase, and walked downstairs as Paula was doing some work around the kitchen. "We're are you going Brendon?" She asked as she saw him.
Brendon calmly turned his head to her, and replied with a smile. "I'm leading mom, I'm gonna have an adventure."
Paula just yawned, and said. "Well, okay honey, try to get back before dinner."
Brendon then left the house and said to himself. "Alright, just got to meet up with Jason and Melissa, it's all working out."
Jason and Melissa were over at the bus stop, with their suitcases, and they were looking out for Brendon. "So Jason, are you excited for our big adventure?" Melissa asked.
Jason was looking at Melissa blushing a little with a smile, she looked real pretty today. He thought there was just something about her. Then as he heard her, he then shook his head, snapping out of it, and said. "Oh, yeah, Melissa, it's gonna be pretty awesome."
"How long do you think we're gonna be gone?" Melissa asked, with a smile.
Jason scratched his head, thinking about it for a minute and said. "I don't know, a few hours, days, weeks,"
Melissa then was getting a little nervous about the whole thing. "Oh, Jason, I don't know about this. I know Brendon really wants to do this, but what if we get lost or something?"
"Melissa, don't overreact, as long as we got each other we'll be alright." Jason said, holding her hand as she blushed a little.
Melissa then gave Jason a small hug, as Jason's eyes lit up, and he smiled, hugging back. Melissa then looked a little awkward and said. "Jason, you can let go now."
Jason then let go a little embarrassed, and said. "Oh, yeah, right."
Brendon then walked up to the bus stop and said. "Hey, guys, so how did things go with your parents, or did you have to sneak out?"
"I snuck out." Jason said.
"I just told my dad I was going out to play with you guys, and wouldn't be back for a while." Melissa added.
A bus then was coming up, and Brendon then reached into his pockets and got enough money for them to get on. "Okay, guys, it's time for an adventure." Brendon said.
As the bus door opened, they all 3 then got on and sat together in one seat, as the bus was packed with a bunch of people.
"Okay, so what are we gonna do after this Brendon?" Melissa asked. She still was a little nervous about this whole thing.
Brendon just kicked back relaxed, with his hands behind his head and said. "This is the fun of having an adventure Melissa, we're not gonna no where we're going until we get there, just enjoy the ride guys."
Jason and Melissa looked at each other nervous, as they knew, going with this idea wasn't too smart. Jason then whispered to Melissa. "Melissa, Brendon's scaring me."
Melissa nodded, with a worried look. "Me too, I hope he knows what he's doing, this depression has really been getting to him lately.
Jason then started to look at Melissa, there was just something about her kindness, and sweet voice that he just couldn't stop thinking about her. He thought to himself, could he really have feelings for his best friend? He then shook his head. "I got to stop thinking this." He muttered to himself.
"What did you say Jason?" Melissa asked, as she just heard him slightly, but had no idea what he said.
Jason gasped and shook his head, acting casual. "Oh, nothing Melissa."
Brendon then started getting a little suspicious on what his friends were talking about. "Hey, you guys aren't talking behind my back are you?" He asked in a serious tone that startled Jason and Melissa.
Jason and Melissa just shook their heads, looking nervous, they now started to realise they gotta be careful with what they say.
Brendon then just smiled, laying back in the seat. He then took a deep breath and said. "I know you guys are good friends, you wouldn't do that crap to me." Jason and Melissa nodded smiling.
Jason then started to look at Melissa again, and was smiling in a loving way. Melissa then turned her head to Jason, looking awkward. "Jason? What's wrong?" She asked very concerned.
Jason just shook his head and said. "Oh, um... nothing, I think I'm just a little excited for the adventure, that's all."
Melissa then started to think about it. Something was going on with Jason today, he wasn't acting like himself. She just couldn't figure out why he was acting that way around her.
