Midsummer Night's Ed

By: Jaha Canon

Disclaimer: Nothing has changed since last chapter- as far as I know.

Warning: This chapter (and most likely the rest of the story) has a curse word in it. I don't want my review space to be taken up with complaints about it. The word is being used in the same fashion Shakespeare intended- as a donkey. I'm just doing what I can to avoid a hassle.

Well, the play, Midsummer Night's Dream ended last Thursday.

But for Midsummer Night's Ed- you've only read the tip of the iceberg!

You ready?

-Chapter 2-

The moon shined brightly on the fairy queen's face. She rested peacefully on her bed.

One of her fairies stood there- tonight's watch. Her alert eyes did not catch the shadow that came from behind her. Before she could react, a hand waved before her face.

The guardian fell unconscious into the fairy king's arms. He placed her gently on forest ground and, with Puck in tow, walked over to Titania's bed.

Oberon pulled a flower from his pocket and waved it in Titania's face.

"When you awake, you will fall in love with the first thing you see- whether it is human or a beast."

Oberon smiled, satisfied, when the spell was cast. He, still accompanied by Puck, woke up the fairy before they escaped… unseen.

In the same forest, three figures walked though.

"Tell me again why we're meeting at night, Eddy!" Edd complained while holding back a yawn.

"My, the day is sure dark today…" Ed commented blankly.

Eddy was too excited to be tired, "We need to rehearse if we want this play to be any good! Double D had to go and pick out a lame one!"

Edd was shocked, "Excuse me, Eddy" he said, "this is the tragedy of Pyramus and Thisby! It's a classic! Why, Shakespeare himself even had it as a play within one of his plays- although it was more of a joke."

"Who cares…" Eddy said, "So, what are the roles."

"Well," Edd said, "despite my horrible stage fright, I think I should be Pyramus considering I'm the only one of us who will really take this seriously. Eddy, you can be Thisby and-"

"Wait!" Eddy interrupted, "Just WHO is Thisby?"

Edd stopped, wondering how Eddy would take this, "Thisby is the heroine of the story."

Eddy frowned, "Meaning?"

"Thisby is the female character in the tragedy."

"WHAT?!" Eddy screamed. "I am NOT playing a woman!"

Edd turned and ignored him, "Ed, you can be the lion."

"But Double D! I'm not good at knowing lines!" Ed complained.

"Ed, it's just roaring."

Ed blinked "Roaring?"

Eddy stood on a tree stump to be eye-to-eye with Edd.

"I will not be a woman." he said coldly.

"Then who will be Thisby?" Edd asked, giving up.

"Ed will!" Eddy said.

"He won't be able to memorize the lines in time!"

"Then you will!" Eddy vouched.

Edd was too tired to argue, "Very well, I will take Thisby on me."

The Eds began rehearsing- they didn't notice as Puck came in (which makes sense, because she IS invisible.)

"What's this?" she asked, knowing, but not caring that no one will answer, "A play rehearsal? Maybe I'll watch- who knows, maybe I'll be an actor… if I chose to."

"Okay, let's give this a try." Edd said. "Eddy, go into those trees over there and wait for your cue."

Puck grinned and followed Eddy into the trees.

Edd cleared this throat and used his best girl voice (which actually wasn't very good,) "As true as the truest horse that yet will never tire!"

The cue passed- but no Eddy came.

"Eddy! You missed your cue!" Edd called. He cleared his throat again and used the same voice, "As true as the truest horse that yet will never tire!"

"Oh Thisby!" came from the trees and a figure emerged. Followed by an amused Puck following unseen by the Eds.

Edd screamed, "What happened! How?!"

"Creepy!" exclaimed Ed before he realized he should be afraid.

"Err… what's wrong guys?" Asked a confused Eddy. His friends didn't answer before they ran off screaming.

His head was no longer his own, but that of an ass.
