Chapter one:
Eddward, also known as Edd, blinks awake as the morning light shines through the window of his small room. He sits up to find that it's a beautiful day outside. He throws off the covers and takes a quick shower in the tiny bathroom he has up in the attic that is nothing fancy but it works. He heads to his closet to get ready for the day once his shower is complete.
Once dressed in the usual outfit he wears since he's a servant so Jimmy made sure that he did not have anything fancy.
His t-shirt an orangish red to go well with his red knee high socks and finally he has on purple knee length shorts. He brushes his hair then adds his favourite hat that his father had given him. He's ready to face the day now and he heads down the stairs out of the attic coming across two rather lovely mice that he's seen around. He pauses turning to them. "Good morning Sarah and Nazz." He greets the two mice he named when sent to the attic and they became his friends which felt nice due to him not really having any friends.
The two mice squeak in greeting.
"I'll make sure to leave some cheese for you." He says and with the two mice as his friends he doesn't try to get rid of them; plus they are the only mice he's seen here so he's pretty sure that the house is ok.
Not to mention that the two mice like to either hang in or around the attic or around him as he works. Thus there isn't really anything to worry about.
He goes to continue down the stairs and the two mice squeak bringing his attention back to them. "Alright." He gives in and holds out a hand letting the two climb on then let's them slip into one of his pants pocket. "But don't let anyone know you're there." He says before continuing along to get the rest of the way down the stairs. He reaches the end and opens the door heading towards the kitchen.
"Hey! Double dweeb!" Eddy is heard calling out impatiently as he uses the nickname he decided to give Edd. "Where's my breakfast!?"
Edd sighs. "Yeah yeah I'm coming." He lets the mice out of his pocket and grabs a few pieces of cut cheese he made for the mice from within the sandwich bag he placed in the fridge. He puts the pieces on the floor where the two are before putting the rest of them inside the bag back into the fridge. "Now remember to be careful." He says in a gentle reminder as he begins moving around getting breakfast ready.
"Double dweeb!" Eddys shouts can be heard from his bedroom.
Edd finished breakfast deciding on the traditional cereal since Eddy seems to have woken up a little earlier than normal. He picks up the tray and hurries to Eddys room opening the door while carrying a tray glad for all this time of practice doing so letting him avoid spilling anything. "Here you are." He says placing the tray on the nightstand.
"What took ya so long?" Eddy questions sitting in his bed with his dollar sign pattern pyjamas. His arms crossed over his chest. "Shouldn't you know that I want my breakfast ready for me when I wake up?! Time is money and any dawdling can ruin any chance of getting good money! I have plans to get me more money! I need to do them and not have a moment to waste!"
"Well might as well eat then. I got your favourite cereal today. You gotta have something in your belly to work out all your plans." Edd says trying to be optimistic to calm Eddys yelling.
"Yeah that's true." Eddy says and begins to eat.
With that Edd leaves glad to be out of there.
Between Ed and Eddy he'd rather deal with Ed than Eddy. But alas he has no choice in the matter and must deal with the two of them plus Jimmy.
He heads back to the kitchen to get the rest of the breakfast all set for the other two deciding to start with Ed. He hardly notices that the mice have left off somewhere probably following him but he doesn't pay mind to it as he trusts them.
Ed was simple and even toast for breakfast satisfied him so that's exactly what Edd made.
Edd spreads honey on the toast for that sweet taste then with a glass of milk on the tray he heads off to his second step-brothers room. He pushes his back on the door to open it since it's not fully closed. He heads inside and sees Ed just waking up. "Here's your breakfast." He says placing it on the nightstand.
"Toast!" Ed says with a grin and as Edd steps back he begins to dig in.
Edd turns and heads out of the room leaving the other to stuff his face of toast.
One last breakfast to deliver.
Now Jimmy usually wanted a rather specific breakfast delivered each morning.
Some pancakes with some milk and the pancakes had to be soft with the milk having to be two percent milk. The pancakes must also have soft and chewy chocolate chips in them meaning that it is best as freshly made. There also must be just enough syrup to not fill the bottom of the plate quickly on top of the pile of pancakes.
Edd gets to work quickly making the pancakes as the mice, who had been following him as he suspected, scurried around making sure to dodge Edds feet as they watch Edd.
Once everything is all set Edd picks up the tray heading off to Jimmys room.
The door is open by a crack so Edd pushes the door open heading inside.
The sunlight seeps through the curtains but with the drapes tied back at the head of the bed it makes the sunlight even more dimmer around Jimmys head.
Edd noticed Jimmy is already sitting up and petting the cat that he got named Jim.
The cats claws are rather pointy like a thicker version of curved cactus spines. His eyes only help the image of a cactus by being a cactus green color and his fur is a white color.
Edd brings the food over to the nightstand that Jimmy made sure to add under the drape on one side of the bed. "Here's your breakfast. Just as you like it." He says backing away once he has put the tray on the nightstand.
Jimmy turns to it as Jim raises his head from his owners lap. "It appears so." He says picking up the glass of milk. "Have you started your chores?"
"I was about to get to that." Edd says starting towards the door.
"Hey Edd!" Ed says coming into the room with a few spots of honey left over on his lips. "Mice!"
Edd figures that the mice must have gotten a little careless in their following of him and when Ed came over he had spotted the two.
Jimmys eyes narrow. "Mice!?" He looks to Jim. "Go get them Jim."
Jim hurries off as if the main thing he heard was mice and wanted to investigate if there really are mice for him to hunt.
Jimmy turns with an accusing stare at Edd. "It is clear now that you are not taking very good care of this house. Especially if you are letting such vermin into the house." He says. "Clean this entire house. The carpets the drapes anything!"
"Ok." Edd says leaving the room and heads to find the two mice. He finds them cowering from Jim who is investigating possibly on a scent trail of the two. He lowers his hand letting them scurry onto his hand before putting them in his pocket. "Stay quiet." He says and heads back towards the attic.
Once there he lets them out of his pocket by letting them crawl into his hand then puts them on the floor.
"Stay here and out of trouble." He says then heads out to begin his chores making sure to close the door to his room behind him. He begins his list of chores and is currently sweeping the floor by the front door when a knock comes to said door. He turns to it pausing in his work only to go over with only the broom in hand to open the door.
