AT KEVIN'S HOUSE:
At Kevin's house, we see five of the kids (Kevin, Rolf, Nazz, Sarah and Jimmy) and the Eds having a party that Kevin threw himself for the Eds to make up for all the times he's been rude to them. Needless to say that the Eds were impressed, as were the other kids as they were all planning on having a good time.
"Alright sweet," Kevin commented. "This was a great idea dudes."
"You got that right Kevin," Eddy agreed. "I've never been this happy since…well, ever."
"Yeah, it's gracious that the kids decided to do something like this for us," Double D complimented. "I'm astounded guys."
"Happy days everyone," Ed cheered excitedly.
"You said it big bro," Sarah agreed, not showing any malice towards Ed at all.
"Rolf agrees that we should be open and offer the supposed friendship circle for the Ed boys," Rolf made his comment.
"I say this was a radical idea dudes," Nazz spoke. "I'm happy to have this happen to our friends the Eds."
"I'm as happy as the rest of you are," Jimmy said. "Though I can't help but feel like something's missing."
"Eh don't sweat it bro," Kevin told him. "It's probably nothing important."
"Yeah Jimbo," Eddy agreed. "Liven up a bit, it's a party."
"I suppose your right," Jimmy went with it.
It was then Chaosky then popped into the living room where the party was being held as he made an announcement.
"Hey guys," Chaosky got their attention. "Andrew's back."
"Alright, so the squirt came back," Kevin commented.
It was then Andrew made his way into the living room, as he looked like he had something he needed to accomplish, but nobody appeared to notice that.
"Hey guys, I'm back," Andrew said as he got into the living room.
"Alright!"
"And I brought with me a special guest," Andrew announced.
"Huh," The others were curious as Andrew said that.
"Who is the guest dude," Nazz asked him.
"Yeah, who did you bring back," Kevin was surprisingly curious too as was everyone else.
"Allow me to reveal him to you guys," Andrew said as the others had raised their eyebrows when he said 'him'. He then backed to the side and behind him was none other, than Jonny who had Plank in his hands, as he looked kind of nervous about what was going to go down.
"Uh, hey guys," Jonny said nervously.
It was then the Eds and the kids tensed up as they saw Jonny.
"JONNY!?" They shouted together as some of them started speaking separately at once.
"Whoa man," "What the heck?" "Jeepers!" "Oh dude." "Are Rolf's eyes fooling him?"
"Andrew, why the heck did you bring that bald kid here," Eddy was a little aggravated by the presence of the one who attacked him and his friends. "That bald kid doesn't belong here!"
"Eddy, please don't be rude," Double D informed him.
"Well I have every right to be pissed," Eddy growled. "That kid attacked us out of nowhere when we were least expecting it, after everything we had gone through, he came out of nowhere!"
"I understand your anger is justified towards him Eddy, but there are other non-violent and more modest ways to deal with this," Double D informed him.
Ed was confused, wondering what Jonny wanted.
"Andrew bro, why the heck did you bring that dweeb here," Kevin asked, showing aggravated looks towards Jonny. "He attacked our friends you know!"
"Yeah Andrew," Sarah then spoke. "That bald idiot and his piece of wood decided to harm our friends the Eds!"
"Rolf is curious too, why is Jonny the Wood boy who attacked the Ed-boys here?"
"Jeepers, I hope Jonny doesn't hurt us next," Jimmy stated.
"Andrew, why is Jonny here?" Nazz was the least aggressive, but she still had a firm tone in her voice.
"Alright guys, before you attack Jonny, I should let you know that this was all a misunderstanding!" Andrew insisted.
"What the fact that he came out of nowhere and attacked us!" Eddy questioned as Double D tried to get him to settle down but to no avail.
"No! I had no idea what went down!" Jonny cried in defense. "I thought the rest of you turned on me!"
"Pffftt, yeah right Jonny, like we'll believe that," Sarah wasn't buying it.
"ENOUGH YOU GUYS!" Andrew shouted causing the others to be taken by surprise. "He's telling the truth! Jonny wasn't completely unaware of what happened in the park before he showed up and he had no idea what Eddy's brother was really like! Jonny here was simply misunderstood by the whole thing and had no idea what went down!"
The kids were shocked that Andrew decided to step in, as were the Eds. Considering that Andrew had already told them that he himself has mental problems, leading to him being bullied constantly when he was younger by a bunch of jerks who admitted that they hated him and saw him as annoying, even going as far as making a holiday where everyone is to bully and pick on Andrew everywhere in the school, which he told them all during the trip back to the cul-de-sac to explain how he isn't a Mary Sue and has experienced people that admitted to hating him, they decided not to protest against him about it.
Noticing that the kids and the Eds were giving him shocked and surprised looks, Andrew then decided to say.
"In fact, there's something about Jonny that should be revealed to you guys," Andrew informed them. "About why he acts the way he does and other stuff that he had wanted from you guys."
The kids were silent for a minute or so to think about this. After thinking about it, the kids and Eds reluctantly decided to hear Jonny out as they decided to make their approval comments.
"Fine, let's hear Jonny out," Eddy groaned, unable to believe he was doing this.
"What Eddy's saying is that we'll be more than welcome to hear you out Jonny," Double D remarked. "Right Ed?"
Ed nodded as a result.
"Fine bro, let's hear what Jonny has to say," Kevin said.
"Let's get this over with," Sarah was reluctant about this too.
"Rolf would like to know why Jonny the Wood boy acts like he does as well." Rolf was curious.
"Let's hear you out Jonny," Jimmy commented.
"Okay Jonny, you can tell us what you need to," Nazz was willing to give Jonny a chance.
"Okay Jonny, they're giving you a chance to speak," Andrew told him. "So go on and tell them what you have to."
"You got it Andrew," Jonny said as he then turned to face the others. "Okay guys, here's how it begins."
Jonny then started telling them how all he wanted to do was to have some friends in his life, how most people saw him as a weirdo, and he also told them that he always did stuff with the kids since he wanted to make friends with them and why he took part in the Eds scams because he wanted to have fun with them and hopefully become friends with them. He then told them that he wanted to invite everyone to Plank's Groovy Arbor Day Party because he wanted to hang out with them and socialize like friends should and that he was devastated that no one but Andrew and the Eds showed up. He also explained that he became an Urban Ranger and took on a super hero alter ego because he wanted to help people and become friends with the others. Afterwards, he then told them that after the kids beat him up, he felt devastated and that they had betrayed him so he wanted to plot revenge until that backfired and then he told them that he was planning on leaving Peach Creek altogether because he felt like the others saw him as the new outcast of the cul-de-sac since the Eds were finally accepted by the others.
"…and that's why I broke down after all that happened, I thought you guys turned on me and didn't appreciate anything I did," Jonny was wrapping up as he was growing sad. "I had no idea that all of that happened at the park. I feel so ashamed about it now and I could have possibly left this town because you guys saw me as an outcast. That's why I act the way I do, I just wanted to become friends with you guys!"
Jonny then started sobbing at that moment as Andrew was comforting him. Chaosky had overheard it all and felt sympathy for Jonny as well. The others were surprised by what Jonny had revealed to them all. All the kid wanted was to have some friends since nobody wanted to talk to him over the years. He had done all that stuff to earn some friendships from everyone else. Sure he tried to plot revenge against them, but it was because he feared the others had turned on him. They had no idea how to respond to that as they were silent for several minutes…
Nazz, being the most compassionate girl in the cul-de-sac decided to act first. As a result, she approached Jonny and decided to comfort him.
"Oh Jonny, I'm so sorry that all that had happened to you," Nazz cooed as she gave him a hug. "You could have talked to me about it. I would have been happy to be your friend."
"You would," Jonny asked.
"Nazz is right Jonny," Double D spoke. "If you had wanted friendship this whole time, you could have asked any of us for friendship and we'd be more than happy to oblige."
"Still, that doesn't excuse everything that I did," Jonny still felt guilty, hoping the kids wouldn't attack him again.
The others were making sounds of shock and gasps as Jonny then told them.
"I'm sorry for all those times that I have been a bother to the rest of you," Jonny started to apologize. "I'm sorry for doing stuff like stealing Kevin's bike and taking away Jimmy and Sarah's shovel just because Plank and I wanted to make a donut, and I'm also sorry for ruining and trashing that Urban City scam that the Eds did just because Plank got into it as well as the rest of you, and I'm sorry if I've caused so much commotion and annoyance. But most of all, I'm sorry Eddy about what your brother did to you and I'm sorry for attacking you guys without a second thoughts for being unaware of what really happened. I apologize for everything, and Plank is sorry too. I just wanted friends and Plank was trying to help me have you guys be my friends. I just hope that you guys still don't see me as an outcast."
The others were taken back by Jonny's heartfelt apology, not expecting one from him at all. They had no idea how to react to it as they were all stunned and shocked by everything Jonny revealed to them today and why he acts the way he does.
After a moment of silence, Andrew then asked them the important question.
"So guys, can you all forgive him for what he did?" Andrew asked.
After thinking about that for a few minutes, the others then started speaking one by one.
"Oh Jonny, of course I forgive you dude," Nazz stated as she continued to hug him. "And by the way Jonny, you are not an outcast."
"Rolf agrees with the trendy Nazz girl," Rolf stepped in. "For the Urban Rangers would never be the same with you Jonny the Wood Boy, so Rolf is willing to let bygones be bygones."
"Rolf is right Jonny," Jimmy then spoke up. "We wouldn't be the same without you, and besides, I do see you as a personal friend of mine Jonny."
"Yeah if they say it's alright then I guess I'll forgive him too," Sarah stated.
"Uh yeah dude, I guess I'll be willing to forgive Jonny for what he did," Kevin went with it. "No hard feelings."
"Yeah Jonny, we are more than willing to put this behind us and become more open towards you, so I personally forgive you as well," Double D told him.
"I forgive him too," Ed stated.
"Eddy, do you also forgive him as well," Double D questioned.
Eddy then let out a sigh and then said.
"Sure, I forgive you too Jonny," Eddy said. "But only because you had no idea what was going on in the park and what was happening to me!"
"And Jonny, we are more than willingly to offer you our friendship to you," Nazz informed Jonny. "Isn't that right guys."
The others ended up saying yes even Sarah, Kevin and Eddy as they no longer seemed angry with him.
"Wow, do you guys mean that," Jonny asked.
"We mean it dude," Nazz nodded her head as did the others.
Jonny felt so touched by these words as he realized that he wasn't a true outcast at all. Tears were filling up in his eyes as he then gave Nazz a meaningful hug.
"Thanks everyone, this means a lot to me," Jonny thanked them. "And Plank is happy too. I hope you all don't mind that I'm friends with him."
"Of course not Jonny, we are alright that your friends with Plank, right guys?" Nazz stated.
"I'm not bothered by it," "Rolf is willing to allow the wood to be friends with Jonny the Wood Boy." "I guess I'm alright with it." "No sweat bro, it's cool."
The Eds weren't bothered by it at all, as Ed thought it was cool to have a piece of wood as a friend, Double D figured that Jonny had some mental problems and thought it would be fitting for Jonny to keep Plank, and as for Eddy, he decided not to be bothered by it either, as long as Plank doesn't do anything that could put the Eds through harms way. The Eds gave their response to Jonny as well.
"Thanks everyone," Jonny thanked them. "Plank says thank you too."
The others were relieved by that as everyone was satisfied. Andrew then decided to give his comment.
"So that worked out better than you thought Jonny," Andrew told him. "So do you still think of yourself as an outcast Jonny?"
"Not anymore Andrew, thanks to you," Jonny told him. "Oh and Andrew, you were only doing the right thing, not trying to get me to like you. Plank says so too."
"Yeah Andrew dude," Nazz said. "This doesn't make you a Mary Sue."
"Yeah, you did what was right and not force us to like you," Jimmy told him. "And we were happy to comply."
"Rolf agrees that you are not the one that they call 'sue', for the Son of a Shepherd appreciates everything you've done and weren't forcing us to like you."
"Yeah Andrew, what they said," Sarah jumped in. "I wasn't nice to you until you had that talk to me and wanted to make things right."
"Yeah dude," Kevin agreed. "You cleared the Eds name on your own because you wanted to do the right thing and we understand that bro. You didn't force us to like you."
"ED IS HAPPY TO HAVE ANDREW AS A FRIEND!" Ed cheered.
"Yeah Andrew, everything that you did for us doesn't make you a 'Mary Sue', since you didn't force us to like you and we decided to appreciate you on our own and from learning that your not good at everything." Double D made his comment.
"Yeah Andrew, I really got to hand it to you, I really appreciate you as my friend," Eddy then said. "I mean sure I was a jerk to you a lot and you did what you thought was right and not forcing us to like you. That's what makes you cool kid."
Andrew was touched by this as these people actually liked him not by force, but by deciding on doing it on their own. Sure the nicer kids Jonny, Nazz, Jimmy and Rolf along with Ed and Double D were instantly open to him from the start since they were being polite, and the meaner kids Sarah and Kevin along with Eddy weren't nice to him at first but in later times they learned to appreciate what he does and decided to become friends with him on their own. Heck, they even understood that he had some mental problems after he shared with them about his early life and how some people actually expressed hatred towards him.
Andrew then spent the next moment taking this in as he then said.
"Gee guys, this actually means a lot," Andrew expressed his thanks. "Thanks for all this."
"You're welcome Andrew," Nazz spoke up.
"Yeah Andrew, Plank says your welcome too." Jonny stated as the other kids made their comments about this.
"Alright now that all of this is settled and Jonny has been accepted by us again, are we going to get this party started or what," Eddy commented.
"Sure thing Eddy bro," Kevin stated. "We can start this party now!"
"WAIT!" Andrew stopped them from starting it. "We still have three people that need to attend as well!"
The others including a recently accepted Jonny were curious as to what he was referring to. It was then one of the kids then asked.
"Who are we forgetting?" It was then the next thing Andrew said shocked them to no end.
"The Kanker Sisters!"
Everyone in the room gasped in shock, some horror and were taken aback by that while Chaosky wasn't surprised to hear Andrew said that…
