Chapter 1: Odd Beginnings

Double D woke up early to the beeping of his alarm clock. He gets up starting his daily morning routine of making and pressing his bed then getting a bath as well as dressed before grabbing his backpack filled with all his precious text books. He was up late the night before studying up to be ready for all his classes that day since he always prized himself on being prepared for anything. Double D walks up the sidewalk to Ed's house, where he sees his friend all jumpy with excitement for the first day of high school. Ed turns his head to see Double D and screams at him. "Good Morning Double D! Where's Eddy!?" "He's at his home still Ed. Let's go wake him and get him shall we." Double D tells him as they walk next door to Eddy's house. Ed knocks on the door with his head hard and a few minutes sleepy Eddy answers the door. Before having a chance to say anything Ed picks him up over his shoulder and rushes off to school with Double D jogging behind to catch up.

As the group walks through the doors into the school Double D takes a deep breath in and says to his friends, "Can you guys just smell that, the sweet scent of learning and academic." "Just shut it Sockhead and let's just get to homeroom." Eddy barks at his friend as he grumbly walks down the hallway mumbling about getting dragged out of bed for this. At this point it seems like a strange sense of luck has taken the boys this morning since they all have the same homeroom teacher as well as having their lockers right beside each other but with that their luck has run out. As the boys get accustomed to their lockers, they meet their locker mates which are none other than Kanker sisters. With their locker doors open they don't see the trouble sneaking up on them until it's behind them and blocking any means of escape. "Oh look girls, our boyfriends have the lockers right next to ours." The gruff voice of the eldest Kanker sister, Lee, chimes in behind the Eds. A sweat breaks out onto their brows as they slowly turn around to come face to face with the sisters. The sisters smirk as they start putting on their own specific colors of lipstick, as they do Eddy lends over to Double D whispering, "Please tell me you have some way out of this?" Double D shakes his head prepared for the onslaught of smooches that was to come soon. Just as the girls begin their attack with their lips Ed screams, "Gurl Germs!" As the girls leave lipstick marks all over their self-proclaimed boyfriends' faces, Marie Kanker stops and watches as Double D shakes with fear then a thought comes to her mind. She leans close to him and whispers to him as she slips something into his hand. "I'm sorry Oven Mitt."
