CHAPTER 1 - JUST THE AVERAGE ME
The sun was high above. The birds were chirping, and dogs were barking. It was a brand new day in Peach Creek and the Cul-de-Sac. The kids woke up, and got ready for the long summer day ahead.
The kids were going on about their daily routine, getting off of bed and brushing their teeth, and then going out to play.
But today was one of the greatest days for a kid named Eddy. He and his friends, Ed and Edd, build scams and try to get money for jawbreakers. And today, Eddy had an amazing brainstorm. He knew that this scam is the scam of scams. He was really excited to pull this off, so he got up early at 7:00 am, and went straight to Edd's house.
He rang the bell, and Edd answered. "Good morning, Eddy!" Said Edd.
"Hey there Double D. Looks like I beat cha' to waking up first in the Cul-de-Sac!" Said Eddy with a grin.
"I woke up at 6:30 exactly, thank you." Replied Edd, winking.
"Ugh. Whatever, anyways… I had this awesome plan in my mind… It's the scam of scams I tell ya!" Said Eddy.
With that, they went to find their friend, Ed. They went to his home, and checked in the basement window, which they always come through.
And sure enough, Ed was still in bed.
"Ed! Come on, lumpy! Wake up!" Shouted Eddy. Ed woke up with a jerk. "Woah! What! Where! AHH!" He said and started running around the room.
It took him a minute and a half to calm him down, and Eddy explained this 'scam of scams' of his. "Cool!" Said Ed. Ed got dressed up in his usual clothes, and followed his friends through the basement window.
They started thinking of a place to set up this scam. "Hmm… Let's see, Where should we put this?" Said Eddy.
"Ooh! I know! I know! We could build it in the Junkyard?" Suggested Ed.
"Nah, that's such a horrible place to put a great scam… Think of something nice, Ed!" Shouted Eddy.
"I suggest we should put this contraption right here on the Cul-de-Sac." Suggested Edd.
"Now we're talkin! Double D, have I ever told you how smart you are?" Said Eddy with a grin.
"Um… No? But I'm very happy you-" He wasn't able to finish his words.
"Nah, whatever… Let's get the supplies!" Said Eddy.
With that, the Eds went around the Cul-de-Sac looking for supplies. The three split up, Ed looked in the junkyard, Edd looked in the lanes, and last but not least, Eddy was relaxing on a chair. He was day dreaming, he couldn't wait to get this thing into action.
Then he started to feel sleepy, and he dozed off within a few seconds of thinking he's sleepy… He started to see a dream.
(The story shifts into Eddy's dream world)
Eddy was in a weird world… He was seeing things… He was seeing the Cul-de-Sac being attacked by creatures, and meteors falling from the sky, and endless, endless rain…
He started to feel unsafe. He went into his home, but right there near the door, was a creature, staring eye-to-eye.
He started to run, run for his life. He tried pinching himself, but no luck. He tried to pinch again and again, no luck. Then he started hearing things…
"Eddy… You're the only one who could save us…"
It was a voice of an old man, of which Eddy didn't even know.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Said a panicky Eddy.
"Calm down Eddy… I want to talk to you…" Said the old man.
Eddy quickly found a place to hide from the creatures. And then started to talk to the man. "Who are you?" He said.
"I am Lord Francis, God of the Future. I know what is going to happen to the Cul-de-Sac, in a few months… Maybe weeks, or even in the next few days…" The man said.
"What! What the heck are you saying? You're giving me the creeps!" Said Eddy still panicking.
"Calm down Eddy… Just calm down…" Said the man.
Eddy started to take a few deep breaths, and soon calmed down.
"Okay… So… What were you saying?" asked Eddy.
"As I was saying… Peach Creek is in deep, deep trouble… Take a brief look around you." Replied Lord Francis.
Eddy looked around. There was darkness, fire, rain and destruction.
"Is… Is this the deep trouble you're talking about?" Said Eddy in fear.
"Yes, it is… This will happen in a few months, or weeks… Or probably even days…" Replied the Lord.
"Are you serious!"
"Yes… That serious…"
Eddy nearly fainted in his dream.
"So… What do I have to do, and why did you choose me?" asked Eddy.
"You and your friends, err… Ed and Egg?"
"That's Ed and Edd, you can call the second guy Double D."
"Ah. You and your friends, Ed and… Double D… Shall work together and figure out this, once and for all."
"What! How are we, just average kids around the block, supposed to save a whole town!"
"Teamwork and friendship. You three have to work together."
Then Eddy started hearing other words.
"Eddy? Wake up Eddy! Wake up little mister!"
"Eddy, we got the necessary supplies!"
(The story shifts back from Eddy's dream world)
Eddy woke up from his dream, to see Ed and Edd waiting. The two were ready to build the scam, but Eddy was in a bad mood. But Eddy didn't want to get rid of the plan, and so the Eds got to work.
And so, after 5 hours of hard, hard work, the scam was ready to put into action. The scam was a giant roller coaster, a piece of art. Eddy scrapped the roller coaster ride things ever since Jonny and Plank's incident with the rides. But he brought back the idea, and he was ready to put it into action.
Just after a few minutes of launching, the first pigeon arrived. It was Jimmy, and he was seeking for thrill. "Hello there Jimmy boy! You wanna go on a first class roller coaster ride?" Said Eddy, taking advantage over his chance.
"Yes Eddy, I wanted to go on a roller-coaster since I was a little child!" Said Jimmy.
"Alright then, cough up the quarter!" Said Eddy, grinning.
Jimmy coughed up the quarter, and decided to go on the ride. He got in, wore his seat-belt, and then Edd activated the switch. Boom! The ride was working well!
Eddy took one look at the quarter, his mouth was drooling already. Just after Jimmy's turn, a huge line formed. Every kid in the Cul-de-Sac wanted a go, even Kevin. "Choice! The dorks finally built something good for once." Kevin said.
Ride after ride, the money stash was filling. This was the best day in the Eds life indeed.
Just after the final ride, Eddy made a break for it. "I'm going for the candy store!" He screamed. Ed and Edd followed.
