Hello there readers! Here's another brand new story that I decided to do!
Now here are a couple of pointers before the story actually starts:
First of all, this story will be based on the episode 'Run Ed, Run', the one where Ed was told that the sky was falling, and Andrew and Chaosky will be included too. Andrew is planning on heading to the jawbreaker factory in order to get jawbreakers for the Eds as a way to make it up to them for being innocently insensitive, and he plans on doing it…by claiming the middle seat of the bus, thinking that he'll get the score on the jawbreakers. Don't ask how Andrew would think that, he's a Cloudcuckoolander after all.
Also, I myself am well aware that in the actual series, Sarah is hated by nearly everyone for being a complete asshole to the Eds especially to her brother, and for also getting away with everything she does (being a Karma Houdini), but that's not that case here. Sarah will be facing comeuppance for her actions in this story!
Another thing, I plan on developing Sarah's characterization so she can be more likeable, and in fact, I plan on doing a Freudian Excuse for her in a one shot that I have planned in a bit, kinda like what happened to Jimmy, who at this point, has been acting a bit more mature, but still enjoys doing kid stuff with Sarah. Just a heads up for you all!
One last thing, Chaosky will be playing more important roles in future stories I'll be doing and this one he plays a somewhat important minor role in supporting the main characters (Eds). Just in case some of you are wondering about that character.
Well enough with my author's note now, let's go and start the story. Enjoy the story everyone!

IN PEACH CREEK:
It was yet another beautiful day in the town of Peach Creek and it was a gorgeous morning in the cul-de-sac we all are aware of too. Everyone was getting ready for a good day today. In particular, we see Jonny starting at a tree, as his loony instincts were telling him that something was interesting about that tree and that he should investigate it. While Jonny continued to look at the tree, some laughter was heard from within Ed's house.
Said laughter, came from none other than Eddy, as we also see Double D trying to blow balloons and constantly failing at doing so. It appears that Eddy was laughing at his failing attempts at blowing a balloon, not having the type of lungs to accomplish the feat apparently. Eddy continued to laugh at his attempts.
"Call a doctor, Double D! You're killing me," Eddy cackles. "Your suck a crack up with this whole 'blowing-the-balloons' thing we have going on!"
Double D then rolled his eyes in annoyance as Eddy continued to laugh at this.
"Enlighten me, Eddy. Why are we inflating balloons at 7 o'clock in the morning?" Double D felt like asking.
It was then Eddy became serious as he then explained to him.
"To stretch our pockets, what else," Eddy informs him. "They got to be the size of sleeping bags if we're going to clean house at the Jawbreaker Factory!"
Double D then brings up a sign that says 'Shhh: Lecture' on it.
"I hope this isn't a repeat of last year's field trip, where I just take notes while you and Ed get up to your usual skylarking." Double D recalled the events of what happened on last year's field trip.
Eddy ends up tossing Double D's sign away as he then retorts.
"Don't blame me. I didn't write this script." Eddy points out.
"Yes, in fact, the author is actually reorganizing the script to fit needs of our friend Andrew," Double D stated.
"I'm aware of that Sockhead," Eddy stated. "I wonder if that kid is going on this field trip too…"
"He probably is Eddy," Double D commented as he struggled to blow another balloon as Eddy laughs again at this.
It was then that Chaosky, Andrew's little pal, had made his way into Ed's house as he was then in the kitchen when he saw Eddy and Double D. He then decided to greet them.
"Hey guys," Chaosky greeted. "Good morning you two."
"Good morning to you too Chaosky," Double D greeted. "What brings you here?"
"Oh just wanted to stop by and check on how you guys are doing," Chaosky informed. "And that I'm aware that you guys have that trip to the Jawbreaker factory today."
"Yeah, that's what we are preparing for right now," Eddy then noticed Andrew wasn't with him. "Hey, where is Andrew?"
"He's back at the house," Chaosky pointed out. "He's making preparations for today's trip."
"Does he know what he's preparing for?" Double D asked.
"Yes he does, and he plans on getting the middle seat of the bus for the trip too."
"Middle seat," Eddy raised an eyebrow. "What's so special about the middle seat?"
"Beats me, it's Andrew, what can you do," Chaosky stated. "Anyway, he's also preparing on making sure he gets you three jawbreakers as a way to make it up to you guys for being innocently insensitive."
Both Eds were surprised by what Chaosky told them about what Andrew was planning on doing. Double D in particular stated.
"Why that's very sweet of Andrew to do something like that, but he doesn't have to do that for us."
"Yeah, well he's insisting that he does that for you guys," Chaosky pointed out. "He feels like a horrible friend and he wants to prove that he can be a great friend by doing this for you guys."
Double D was about to say something else when Eddy stopped him.
"You know, if the kid wants to get us jawbreakers, then let him get us jawbreakers," Eddy stated. "Although I don't think he'll get a good score with the middle seats… oh well. Anyway, back to blowing the balloons Double D!"
"But Eddy, my lungs don't have the strength or capacity to be able to achieve this type of feat." Double D stated.
"Of course they don't," Eddy muttered. "Very well, I'll get Ed to do it instead."
Eddy then decided to get Ed to blow the balloons instead…
Meanwhile, in the living room, we see Sarah trying to bribe her big brother Ed with some buttered toast dipped in egg yolk as Ed was acting like a dog, drooling and even making his unibrow turn into a tail. Sarah then put on a faux innocent sisterly voice.
"Here comes the dippy egg express, big brother!" Sarah told him in a sweet but fake voice.
"Choo! Choo!" Ed shouts as he helps himself and eats the treat whole while getting Sarah's hand covered in saliva. Jimmy then comes to the scene with a hall monitor tag sleeve and places it over Ed.
"Here you go, Ed." Jimmy says as he and Sarah were giving him a massage to butter him up for something. It was then Sarah started speaking in that innocent sweet voice that isn't normal for her.
"So, Ed, since you're the bus monitor and all," Sarah started. "And you get to pick who sits where on the bus for the field trip today, and since I'm your cuddly-wuddly baby sister-"
Before she could finish, Eddy came into the living room and cut her off.
"Hold it," Eddy shouts approaching Ed. "We need those front seats, so we get first dibs on those jawbreakers! Right, Ed?"
"What?" Ed had no idea what Eddy was talking about.
"Come on Monobrow, I need you to blow some balloon," Eddy dragged him away into the kitchen.
"I have no idea what that is Eddy," Ed commented as he was then brought into the kitchen by Eddy.
In the living room, Sarah suddenly becomes peeved by what Eddy did and what he wanted to do for this trip.
"So fishface thinks he's gonna get the front seats, huh?" Sarah questions. "Well I'll simply put a stop to that."
"But Sarah, how will we get around Eddy," Jimmy asked. "You know he's such a slippery and sneaky weasel, especially after past experiences we had with dealing with him…"
"Don't worry Jimmy, I have the perfect plan," Sarah informed him as she then whispered the plan in Jimmy's ear. As Sarah had that grin on her face, Jimmy's eyes grew wide with the plan that she revealed to him.
"My Sarah, that is so devilish," Jimmy commented. "But…there's one problem with that…"
Sarah then went and raised an eyebrow with it.
"And what would that be Jimmy?"
"Well Sarah, even though the plan is brilliant, the only person that could cause it to backfire is Andrew," Jimmy explained. "If he found out we were doing this, he would jump in and do something about it the moment it clicks in his head, and I don't feel like forcing him to keep out of it and hurt him. Remember the whole photo incident scenario where he broke down?"
Sarah rolled her eyes at that.
"Of course I remember that Jimmy, but we're not actually going to be hurting Andrew, we're going to put a stop to Eddy's plan so we can get those front seats," Sarah explained. "We just have to make sure that Andrew doesn't find out."
"Still Sarah, this doesn't feel right," Jimmy explained. "Andrew would be devastated if he found out we hurt one of his friends."
"Oh Jimmy sweetie, don't think of it as actually hurting his friends, think of it as…" Sarah then quickly searched for a perfect lie to cover it. "…as a sort of competition we're having."
"A competition?"
"Yes, we could be competing with the Eds to see who could score the front seats and the jawbreakers," Sarah lied. "We could also make sure that Andrew doesn't find out about it and have him know that we aren't hurting his friends and that we are just competing with them to get those jawbreakers. We win, and Andrew doesn't get devastated. It's a win-win situation for everyone but the Eds…"
Jimmy wasn't so sure of the plan and didn't feel too comfortable with it, but not wanting to disappoint Sarah, his dearest and closest friend, he just sighed and decided to go with it.
"Well, if you say so Sarah," Jimmy sighed. "Let's go with it."
I got a bad feeling something bad will come out of this… Jimmy thought as they decided to put the plan into action…
Back in the kitchen, Ed was now blowing up balloons for Eddy as Double D was keeping track of the time with his watch.
"Gentlemen, it is 7:30 currently," Double D informed them. "The bus taking us to the Jawbreaker Factory is scheduled to depart at 7:45 A.M. precisely."
"Alright, alright. Get off my back." Eddy retorted as Ed continues to blow balloons and gives them to Eddy.
"Yeah, I should check on Andrew and make sure he's ready to go for this trip." Chaosky remarked.
Before anyone could make a remark to that, a loud bang was heard at the front door as Sarah was heard crying out from the outside.
"Ed! Help me!" Sarah shouted.
It was then Ed's big brother instincts took over as he then rushes outside to look for his baby sister. Chaosky then noticed something was up as the bell on his head started making some ringing sounds as he felt something was going on.
"I sense something suspicious going on…" Chaosky told himself.
Ed had already went outside the front door and looked for his baby sister. Sarah is hiding in the bushes, while Jimmy is on the roof. Jimmy holds a sidewalk block over Ed. The cement is painted a light blue.
"Baby sister? Are you okay?! Where are you?!" Ed shouted. "Big brother will save y-"
Before he could finish that sentence, Jimmy had already dropped the sidewalk block onto Ed's head, as Sarah comes out of the bush with dryer lint in her hair, pretending to act all injured.
"Oh Ed! It just... it just..." Sarah pretends to faint as Ed catches her, as a big bump formed on his head from the contact the block made onto his head. "–fell like a lead weight from above."
"Fell?" Ed was confused as he notices a paint can, that Sarah quickly kicked away and also pushed away the stuffed rabbit that had it's stuffed fluff pulled out of it. It was shown Sarah was trying to fool Ed.
"Fell!" Sarah shouts as she points to the broken sidewalk block that fell on his head. "The sky, you idiot! It's falling!"
"The sky… is falling?!" Ed asked as he covered his head under his jacket. Sarah then gave a smirk, indicating that her plan was working as she then continued to go with the act.
"Ed, promise me that you'll stay in the house where it's safe. GOT IT?!" Sarah begged in a despaired sort of manner before shouting.
"I promise, oh brave little one. Ed inside will stay." Ed had completely fell for the plan that Sarah played on him.
Before he could do anything, Chaosky came out knowing something was up and then asked.
"Hey Ed, what's going on," Chaosky asked. "Where did you get that nasty bump from? It looks serious and looks like it could be-"
"CHAOSKY!" Ed interrupted him. "THE SKY IS FALLING CHAOSKY! THE SKY IS FALLING! IT HIT ME ON THE HEAD!"
Chaosky then looked bewildered by what Ed had told him and then sighed.
"Oh Ed, I know you might be out there at times, but this is really ridiculous," Chaosky told him. "The sky isn't falling."
"But it is Chaosky," Ed said. "The sky hit me on the head and gave me this bruise."
Chaosky then looked at the sky and saw that nothing was falling from the sky and it was completely safe.
"Ed, I think your over reactive imagination is taking over again, the sky isn't falling, your safe," Chaosky assured him. "Who on Earth told you that malarkey anyway?"
"It's true Chaosky, the sky is falling from above," Ed stated. "Just ask Sarah."
Chaosky then saw Sarah playing a dramatic act and then saw all the evidence on the scene. He saw the sidewalk block broken and had been painted like the sky, he saw a stuffed rabbit that had been ripped of its fluff, he saw blue paint which was used for the block, and he noticed that one of the blocks on the sidewalk was missing as a piece of the stuffed rabbit fluff was in the open, having fallen off of Sarah's head. It then came to Chaosky, Sarah was messing with him for some reason.
"Hey Ed, I hate to break it to you, but I believe Sarah is trying to pull your leg," Chaosky explained as Ed had no idea what he was talking about. Chaosky reiterated. "Let me rephrase that, I believe Sarah is just messing with you."
Ed gained a shocked look on his face as Sarah then shouted.
"DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!" Sarah yelled. "He's delusional and doesn't know what he's talking about! The sky falling has left him clueless and not knowing what's really going on! He's faking everything he's telling you!"
It was then Chaosky gave Sarah a really really annoyed look as he then remarked.
"Oh I'm delusional huh," Chaosky deadpanned. "And in what way am I becoming delusional then, huh Sarah?"
"The uh…" Sarah then came up with a lie. "The sky has left a bad impression on him and has caused him to see things, just like a bad side effect from drugs; he's under the influence from the sky falling!"
Chaosky stared in an annoyed manner, a sign that he was not buying Sarah's lie one bit, he was much smarter compared to Andrew, who wasn't really stupid, just naïve and rather out there at time, but not as much as Ed is.
"Uh huh, yeah that's a good one Sarah…" Chaosky sarcastically said.
"I'm serious," Sarah shouted. "Big brother, don't stay outside or else you too will fall under the influence like Chaosky!"
"Okay dokey baby sister!" Ed shouted as Chaosky couldn't believe that Sarah was messing with Ed like this.
It was then Double D arrived at the scene.
"Um Ed, is everything all right?" Double D asked in concern as Ed looked at the sky.
"Allow me to explain it to you Double D," Chaosky said.
He then explained to him that Ed was told that the sky was falling. Double D was shocked and bewildered by this.
"My, Ed my friend, I assure you that the sky is not going to fall at all," Double D assured him. "You're perfectly safe."
"SKY! FALLING! AAAHHHHHH!" Ed screamed as he grabbed Double D and brought him inside. "EDDY! THE SKY IS FALLING!"
Chaosky then heard Eddy saying something along the lines of Ed finally growing a brain from the contact the block made to his head.
"Oh Chaosky, the sky is falling," Sarah smirked devilishly, while Chaosky didn't have time to deal with this.
"I don't have time for this," Chaosky sighed. "I'm out."
Chaosky then went to the house to see if Andrew was ready to go. Jimmy got down from the roof and approached Sarah, a look of worry on his face.
"Sarah, this isn't good, I think Chaosky is starting to figure out our plan," Jimmy explained. "It's only a matter of time before Andrew finds out."
"Oh come on Jimmy lighten up," Sarah told him. "Andrew is not going to find out, in spite of what Chaosky saw, he isn't going to know the truth."
"Right…" Jimmy wasn't completely buying it, but he still went with it.
"Anyway Jimmy, we should go and claim those front seats now that Ed and his pals are going to stay home and not go on this field trip," Sarah sang.
"Okay Sarah," Jimmy tried to smile. "Anything for you…"
"I'm glad you'd see it my way Jimmy," Sarah smiled at him.
The two kids then went and decided to head for the bus departing for the Jawbreaker Factory…
Meanwhile, at Andrew's house, we see Andrew in his room preparing for the trip to the Jawbreaker Factory today as he made sure he was in good condition.
"Alright, that should do it," Andrew said to himself. "Now I should be able to get some jawbreakers and claim the middle seat." Andrew then sighed. "I just hope this plan works…"
It was then Andrew then looked at the readers and started speaking to them.
"Oh hey readers, now I bet most of you are asking questions like 'Andrew, what is so special about the middle seats?' or 'Andrew, why are you desperate on getting some jawbreakers?' Well the answer is simple," Andrew started to explain. "Nobody seems to appreciate the middle seat, as most people prefer the front seats. Not only that but from what I have concluded, the middle seats tend to be very comfortable for anyone that wants to sit in them, not that anyone cares since, well, you already know…"
Andrew then sighed and then explained the answer to the second question.
"As for why I want to get jawbreakers, I want to get the Eds some jawbreakers, to make up to them for being innocently insensitive to them at times," Andrew sighed sadly. "I might have acted as a bad friend because of it, but today, I plan on making it up to them and proving that I'm a good friend!"
Andrew then started shouting.
"AND I HOPE THAT THIS PLAN THAT I CAME UP WITH ACTUALLY WORKS THIS TIME!"
It was then Chaosky called from downstairs.
"HEY ANDREW, COME ON, WE HAVE TO GET TO THE BUS!"
"OH, COMING CHAOSKY," Andrew then said to the readers one last time. "That's my cue guys, wish me luck."
Grabbing his backpack, Andrew went out of his bedroom and went downstairs to meet with Chaosky.
"So Andrew, you ready for the trip today," Chaosky asked.
"I sure am Chaosky," Andrew smiled. "I hope this plan actually works."
"I do too," Chaosky stated as they both walked out the front door, locking it behind them. "This ought to be an interesting day."
"What makes you say that Chaosky," Andrew had a confused look on his face.
Before Chaosky could answer, they heard Jonny in the distance as he was stuck in the tree, again. Andrew and Chaosky saw this as they then saw Eddy with wide pockets and Double D come by as Jonny asked if they could help them. Eddy then asks Ed to help him for a quarter.
"NO! COME INSIDE NOW!" Ed shouted. "THE SKY IS ACTING ALL DANGEROUS TODAY!"
Ed dragged his two friends into the house and kept them from exiting as Andrew was all confused by this.
"What's up with Ed," Andrew scratched his head.
"Don't ask," Chaosky simply said, not wanting to explain to him how Sarah is messing with him, that would get him fired up and immediately would do something about it, and he didn't want him to forget about his plan regarding the Jawbreaker Factory. "It's not important."
"Well in any case, looks like Jonny could use some help," Andrew then approached the bald headed kid. "HEY JONNY!"
"Andrew, I'll be at the bus stop," Chaosky called out. "I'll see you there!"
"OKAY!" Andrew shouted as he approached the tree Jonny was stuck in. "Jonny, need some help out of there?"
"I would really appreciate it Andrew," Jonny begged.
"Alright, I would normally use a chain saw to cut down the part your stuck in, but I have no clue how to use one, so I'll have to go with an all time favorite," Andrew then took out a lasso from hammer space. "I'll pry you down from there with this lasso!"
"You sure that'll work Andrew?"
"I hope it does, we don't want to miss the trip," Andrew exclaimed. "Now let me do this."
Andrew then tried his hardest to imitate the cowboys in the Western movies he saw with the rope trick and successfully latched Jonny's waist with the loop part of the rope.
"Alright Jonny, now I just need to pull you down with the rope," Andrew grabs the other end of the rope firmly. "Get ready!"
Andrew then pulled the rope as hard as he could not sure if this'll work. In a matter of moments, Andrew successfully pulled Jonny down as Jonny now had a piece of the tree still stuck to his head.
"Alright," Andrew wiped his forehead in relief. "That should do it."
"Holy cow Plank! Did you see that," Jonny was ecstatic. "Andrew sure knows how to work the rope, doesn't he buddy?"
"That's a nice compliment Jonny, but we better get moving if we want to make it to the factory today!" Andrew reminded him.
"Right, let's go Plank we got a trip to make," Jonny told his wooden pal as they then headed for the bus to get ready for the trip…
It took some convincing on Double D's part (informing Ed of the danger that Sarah could be in if the sky really was falling and she would be the next victim) to get Ed to exit and allow them to leave the house. Ed rushes off to save Sarah, hiding under a frying pan for protection as he starts flipping cars over just to save her. Eddy wanted to head for the bus stop but Double D proclaimed to him that there was no time for that now and that they had to go with an alternate solution. They went into the garage as Double D started to construct something incredible.
Sometime later, Ed was still searching for Sarah, as he was tearing apart a mailbox, roughly opens a sewer lid and even goes as far as tossing a car into Kevin's house, unaware that he wrecked Kevin's house to an extent.
"Sarah? Sarah! Sarah?" Ed kept desperately looking for his sister.
It was then shown that Double D and Eddy were riding in a fan powered wheelbarrow that Double D constructed himself. They passed by Ed as Double D takes the pan from Ed and lures him into the vehicle, which was powered by two other frying pans and a tennis racket.
"Quick, Ed! Board our tactical search-and-rescue vehicle," Double D told him which Ed complied. "These sky-repelling force shields will protect us from any plummeting cosmos composite!"
Double D then went with the act as he hands Ed and empty milk carton with a wooden satellite taped to it.
"Ed, would you man the 'sister detecto-meter' and alert us to Sarah's location?" Double D asked.
Ed was more than willing to comply with this as he then went to work.
"Batten down the poop deck! Pull up your bridges! Let's sit and serve–" He sees a down arrow on the carton and his instincts kicked in. "Oh! Oh! It says Sarah is thataway, buckos!"
"Great! Let's go," Double D said. "Let's hope that Andrew is on that bus too that is safely protected from the sky."
"ANDREW'S IN TROUBLE!" Ed shouts. "WE GOTTA SAVE ANDREW TOO!"
"Can we just get to the bus before it takes off and we miss the trip," Eddy was getting a little impatient. "I want to get those jawbreakers."
"One moment please Eddy," Double D informed him. "Alright, let's get to the bus stop gentlemen."
The other two Eds went with it as they headed for the bus stop, unaware of the hysteria and madness that'll occur from arriving too late and from the lie that Sarah told Ed…
