Double-Dee finally managed to open the window. After having been forced to watch episode 312 of One Piece, Eddy and Double-Dee had almost drowned in a flood of Ed's salty tears. "BUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I MISS HER ALREADY!!!" Ed cried, lamenting the loss of Going Merry, the Straw-Hat pirates' old ship. One not so sympatric, however, was Eddy. "Get over it, Lumpy! You already know what's gonna happen next!" Ed responded with an evil glare, cutting Eddy short of snappy comments.
"Now, now, gentlemen," Double-Dee began, "there is no need to squabble amongst you because of a fictional show. Now can you PLEASE help me drain Ed's room before Sarah notices the mess?" After blowing his nose, Ed gladly helped the best way he could: using his bathtub as a bucket to unload the water in. "Gee, Ed, what's happened to your gravy?" Eddy commented, as the bathtub always was used to keep Ed's gravy perfectly safe. "No worries here, Eddy. I hid it!" He finished his sentence by whispering "discreetly" into Double-Dee's ear…
"Sanji! When is dinner ready?" shouted a seventeen year old boy with a red vest, blue shorts, and most noticeably, a straw-hat on his head. This was Monkey D. Luffy, more commonly known as "Straw-Hat Luffy", a pirate with a 300,000,000 beri bounty on his head. He was sitting on the figurehead on the pirate ship Thousand Sunny, created from the mighty Adam Wood, a type of plank said to be unbreakable. The man Luffy shouted for, Sanji, the nineteen year old cook onboard the ship, AKA "Black Leg Sanji" with a 77,000,000 beri bounty, stormed out of the kitchen, with death in his eyes (though you could only see it in the right eye, as the left was blocked by his blonde hair), kicking the boy with tremendous force onto the deck. "WHAT'S WITH YOU, LUFFY?!" he shouted. "WE'RE ALREADY ON A FOOD SHORTAGE, AND YOU'VE EATEN ABOUT THREE TIMES OF YOUR DAILY RATIONS, SHIT-HEAD!!!" The commotion startled the napping man lying next to the figurehead. This was "Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro, worth 120,000,000 beri. "Oi, what the hell's the commotion about, Dartbrow?" This caught Sanji's attention. One thing he couldn't stand was being called Dartbrow, in contrast to his swirly eyebrow. In a calm tone, he looked down at the swordsman and said "Well, excuse me for waking you up, shitty Marimo." This angered Zoro, as his green hair was very susceptible to be called Marimo, and he certainly didn't find the joke amusing. And with that, the two of them stated their 1,9872nd brawl that month.
"WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP NOW?!?!" screamed the navigator, Nami, called "Cat Burglar Nami", sporting a 16,000,000 beri bounty, as her fists smoked from the impact on Zoro's and Sanji's skulls. Sanji, however, was completely lost in his daily clamour of love, as he did with about every beautiful woman he encountered. "I'm trying to figure out how much beri we can earn from selling those Devil Fruit's we found in Thriller Bark!" "Yohohohoho, the beauty of untarnished skin… Wish I had some! YOHOHOHO! Skull Joke!" laughed the musician onboard the ship. His name was Brook, called "The Humming Swordsman", and was a skeleton, thanks to the Devil Fruit that he had eaten. These lame "Skull Jokes" didn't qualify him as a comedian, however, and as a response, he was beaten up by Franky, "The Cyborg", with a 44,000,000 beri bounty. "WOULD YOU STOP THOSE JOKES NOW, BROOK?! THEY ARE MOST DEFINITELY NOT SUPER!"
"Why are they fighting, Robin?" the little reindeer-man Tony Tony Chopper, AKA "Cotton Candy Lover Chopper" with the lowest bounty the Marines had ever assigned to a person, a mere 50 beri bounty. The woman he talked to was Nico Robin, "The Demon Child", with a bounty of 80,000,000 beri. "They are just letting off steam, Doctor-San." "Aw, you don't have to call me that, Robin! Just call me Chopper!" Robin only smiled in response. "But you know, we really need to find an island soon, or Luffy will resort to cannibalism, starting with Chopper!" came the reply of Usopp, the marksman onboard, with a 30,000,000 beri bounty, although that was reserved to his alter-ego, Sogeking, called "King of Snipers". "Actually, Usopp, I just recently saw an island to the west." This comment caught the ear of Nami, who, and I can assure you of that, was NEVER to be messed with in her current mood. "THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO, ROBIN?! Turn her around! Land ho to the west! Turn the sails 75 degrees to the left!" And with that, the Straw-Hat pirate crew, worth totally 667,000,050 beri, turned the ship to another island for a new adventure…
"I've disposed of the salty water, and the salt is now vanquished!" shouted Ed as he ran towards Double-Dee, who had just finished preparations for Eddy's new scam: Eddy's Walk-Thru cinema! "Oh, man, this is gonna be great! We're gonna be rich, I tell ya! FILTHY RICH!!!" Eddy was so excited, that the dollar signs that usually formed in his eyes were hopping all over the place. "And HOW do you suspect that we try to earn something from this? The last time we did something like this…" "Look, Sock-head, there are three reasons for that: One! We actually show a movie that we didn't make at the last minute! Two! We take lower prices for the tickets and snacks than the cinema in town! And three! We're open all week!" Double-Dee eyed Eddy. It wasn't normal for his friend to think things out this much before. "And what about Ed?" Double-Dee asked. "Don't worry, he'll be watching the movie at home! You see, the projector is plugged to Ed's computer, and when he watches the movie, it plays on the big screen!" Now, Double-Dee was shocked. "I most certainly haven't planned something THIS fool-proof for you, Eddy! Tell me, were you so desperate that you had to ask for HIS assistance?" Eddy glomped his mouth shut. Double-Dee had read his mind! Next to himself, there was only one person so vile, cruel and beyond words utterly ingenious that could have planned something THIS great. And guess who that was?
"Oh, Sarah, I'm so excited!" said a puny, frail and easily breakable voice coming from the said mastermind, Jimmy. What he lacked in brute strength, he found in his best friend, Sarah. "Yeah, yeah, Jimmy, whatever. This would better be good, for Eddy's sake." she said as they paid for the tickets. Later came Johnny 2X4 carrying along his imaginary friend, Plank, who in reality was just a piece of wood, although Johnny didn't seem to notice this. Not long afterwards came Nazz, the typical ungettable girl. Also came Rolf, the "new kid" as you may say, although he was the oldest of any of the kids. And last came Kevin, the jock of the block. "So, Eddy, what movie is showing tonight? Is it "Count Dorkula and the Castle on Mount Dorkenville"?" he said, before laughing. "Look, Kev, if you're just going to stand there, then don't. And by the way, the movie showing tonight is "One Piece: Baron Omatsuri's Island". So, buy your ticket and buy some snacks and watch the movie!" Without another word, Kevin bought the tickets and seated himself. Then the movie started.
"Oh, MAN, you guys! Just one movie night, and we've already earned two full jars of quarters! We can buy an ICEBERG of jawbreakers with this cash!" Eddy laughed, as the trio stared at the fruits of their most successful scam ever. Then, Eddy started counting how much they would split amongst themselves, Double-Dee started thinking about what they could show on the cinema for later performances, whilst Ed maintained the movie. Nothing could go wrong…
"Eddy, give me my cash now!" A thundering voice shouted before opening the door to Ed's room. It was Jimmy. "Jimmy?! C'mon, man, this cash belongs rightfully to us! We had to endure five seasons to earn this much money, and here it is, on only one night! You can't ruin the moment!" "Oh, but I can, Eddy. From what I recall, it was MY idea to build a cinema, and I've just come to take my rightful share of the money, which is… All of it!" Eddy gaped. If this little rat was allowed to take all their cash when they FINALLY managed to strike rich, then how would they be able to enjoy jawbreakers ever again? "Forget it, Jimmy! This cash belongs to me and my friends!" "Eddy, please! What if we all share the money equally? Let's say, 25 each?" As always, Double-Dee tried to reason peace into the system. "Forget it, Double-Dee! I'm taking the full price-load, and you three don't get zilch!" "Oh, you little-""Eddy, no!" "Um, guys?" "WHAT?!" was what Jimmy, Eddy and Double-Dee screamed at Ed, sitting next to his computer. "Um, the computer's acting weird…" He was right. The computer was smoking, and the screen was distorted. Luckily, the cinema was unaffected by this, and continued playing. Suddenly, the computer screen flashed, and the four boys were gone…
"Um, guys? Do you think they're dead?" "Don't be silly, they are clearly-""LET'S EAT THEM!!!" "WHAT KIND OF SICKO ARE YOU?!" because of the commotion, Ed woke up, staring at nine strangers who were staring at him…
