"Good lord ed" Edd plugged his nose and fanned a hand at his watering eyes. Ed and Eddy had been searching through the junk yard for more materials for yet another scam, and Ed, while making a "junk angel" was now covered in what smelt like years worth of old fish.

"Calm down double D, i can get rid of the smell in this pond!" Ed proceded to jump into a pile of dirty water that ran off the trash piles and collected into a divit of sorts.

"ED NO!" Edd and Eddy collectively yelled. Knowing very well it was too late as they to were also covered in the filth water.

'Filthy filthy filthy' Edd thought.

He would have to go home and shower now, scrubbing his body with every anti-bacterial product known to man. He began to walk away gritting his teeth.

"Hey sock head where you going?" Eddy asked.

Edd turned on his heal. " if you must know eddy i am going home to scrub my body of this filth" Edd went to turn back again and proceed in his trek home when Eddy's hand grabbed his arm.

"Un hand me this instant eddy" He said as he tried to pry Eddy's hand off his arm.

"Look sockhead" Eddy let go of Edd's arm to scratch his head in thought

" I still need your help, im not some know it all genius like you." He started to get flustered and raised his voice.

"You can take a shower later can't ya?! We need to finish this scam so I can make moneyyy" Eddy waved his eyebrows and smiled as he thought about most likely all the jawbreakers he could buy.

"I certainly can not take my shower later! I would be stewing in this filth and harboring all the bacteria swimming around on my skin like some pore infested community swimming pool!" Edd started panicking and the thought of how long he had already wasted listening to Eddy talk and ran the few blocks back to their culdasac and to his house.

After cleaning himself throughly (leaving him with red skin), Edd began work on his daily chores and the over the summer homework he had been given. He would have finished by now but Edd wanted to pace himself and spread the work out so to be sure not to forget any knowledge over the few months. It was also a good excuse for Eddy as to why Edd had to go home at a reasonable time.

He had just finished his chores for the night and was starting on dinner when his phone started to vibrate.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ*

It was a phone call from a local, but unfamiliar number. Normally he'd let it go to voice mail but he felt like he had to answer it.

"Hello this is Eddward Vincent speaking, may I ask who this is?"

"Can it double dweeb, I wouldn'ta called if I didn't know who I was callin. Its kevin by the way, I need your help can i come over?"

The summer after middle school Kevin and Edd had gotten a bit friendlier twords eachother as Edd helped him with more revenge against the shorter of the Ed's (Eddy). But they were by no means friends, and this was proved even more when their freshman year Kevin and his new found jock friends had made all three of the Eds a laughing stalk for three months. They had stolen the boys clothes during a gym class manditory shower and left only wash cloths in place of towels. Edd hadn't helped Kevin out much since then and now approaching their sophomore year, not even a full year after said events he was asking Edd for help?

Edd was so caught up in his thoughts he realised he forgot to respond to his question.

"May i ask what you need help with?"

"No"

"Well Kevin, i cant properly help you if i don't know what the problem is now can i?"

"No-er i guess not.. but i cant tell you over the phone. Can i just come over please?"

please? Edd thought. He knew this must be pretty important for him to say something so polite.

"Yes i suposse you can come over, but i have yet to eat dinner so you will have to wait about a half hour before coming"

"Oh man, thanks dweeb. That'll be fine, yeah see ya in a half hour then." And with that Kevin hung up.
