Meanwhile At the Candy Store...

A short blonde-haired girl named Nazz von Bartonschmeer looked over. "Sarah, Jimmy, are you guys, like, okay?"

"That Jo yelled us for having a tea party on the soccer field." Jimmy snorted.

"Yeah, we weren't doin' nuthin'." Sarah added, glowering.

"Rolf doesn't see the point of these parties of tea with fictional liquid..." the blue-haired, tan-skinned country boy was lost as always, most of the tea parties he knew had 'pretend tea'.

"Well, at least you didn't get hurt by Jo." the red baseball capped boy known as Kevin said.

"Plank says that Jo is scary." a bald boy with a piece of wood with a face on it spoke for his 'friend'.

"Jo could probably turn Plank into a tooth pick... Bummer..." Nazz murmured.

"All 'cuz I was talking to Justine." Kevin sighed.

Sarah snorted. "What's so great about Justine?"

"She's Justin's sister," Nazz replied as she put paint on her nails, looking rather snobby. "She can do whatever she wants... Everyone loves her..."

"'Cept her mother." Jimmy grinned rather evilly.

Marie Kanker was on her way in the candy store, then overheard the kids and hid as she overheard them, plotting against Mike and the others again. She was isolated from almost everyone, but she actually redeemed herself and was a good person now, even if she still fought with her abusive mother and sisters and used to bully everyone like the cul-de-sac kids.

"You guys hear somethin'?" Jonny asked.

"What, did Plank say somethin'?" Sarah scoffed.

Marie made sure no one saw her and luckily, they didn't and she kept listening as the kids kept wanting to do something bad to Jo and it switched to topics about a new kid they could probably take advantage of. The Kanker sister forgot about her candy craving, then went to look for her only true and first ever friend, Mike.


With the gang, Jo and Mike heard something and stopped for a second.

"Hear that?" Mike asked.

"Yeah." Jo nodded.

"Umm, I don't hear anything." Cindy was unsure.

"MIIIIIKE!" Marie rushed over.

"Oh, hey, Marie." June greeted, she didn't like Marie at first because of the Kanker sisters loving the Eds when she, Dee Dee, and Mike claimed them as their own.

"You okay?" Dee Dee asked.

Marie paused to catch her breath. "Time-out..." she said, holding up her hand as she panted. "Blood sugar droppin'..."

Ashlyn offered her bottle of water. "Here, what's going on?"

"Thanks," Marie smiled to Ashlyn, then drink the water down, taking deep breaths and cleared her throat. "It's those punks at the Candy Store..."

"Cul-De-Sac kids?" Cindy guessed, feeling a bad vibe from those certain kids now.

"Yeah, talkin' 'bout Justine and tryin' to use some new kid to use to their advantage cuz new kids will believe anything..." Marie rolled her visible eye, then noticed she hadn't seen Cindy before. "Oh, no offense."

"It's okay, I get that a lot." Cindy smiled to the blue-haired girl.

"Are they gonna do something... You know.. Terrible?" Brianna asked.

"You know teenagers these days, probably enough to get arrested but as long as we all suffer, they won't care." Marie looked grave and serious.

"Not even I'd stoop that low." Duncan commented, it made him think of when Heather was flat-out insulting Lindsay to the core and mentioning she only used her, not really wanting to become her friend.

"Me neither," Abby agreed with her brother. "Even though I'm a delinquent, I wouldn't stoop to their level."

Jo narrowed her eyes and snarled.

"What are they plannin' to do?" Double D asked, never thinking he would be able to talk with Marie outside of the unfortunate kissing.

"I think they wanna sabatoge everyone." Marie shrugged, honestly not sure.

A pale blonde-haired girl with deep blue eyes in a green sweater, dark-colored skirt, blue tights, and black shoes came up behind Cindy. "Greetings, friends."

Cindy yipped, jumping into Eddy's arms, a little startled by that.

"Oh, hey, Li'l Hippie." Jo smiled a little to the moonchild.

The girl turned to the new girl. "You're Cindy," she said, seeming to already know the girl, even if this was their first meeting. "From the city Gumboot, you always got bullied by Maggie Quinn."

Cindy bit her lip, she didn't know this girl and yet this girl knew all about her. "Uhhh..."

"Let her breathe, she's had a big day." Eddy said, but he dropped Cindy out of his arms.

"Am I the only one creeped out right now?" Cindy looked very unsure of the girl.

"I'm so sorry, deary," the girl soothed. "You see, I can see people's aura."

Cindy blinked. "Aura..." she mumbled, then tried to use the brain power she had.

"Yes, it's a-" Double D was about to explain for her.

"Basically the atmosphere about someone whether they're a person or a thing, it's like deep within your soul..." Cindy already explained, then looked back at the moonchild. "How do you do that?"

"I was born with that gift," the girl explained. "You see, my mother had the same ability as me, so we had to fight to see who was going to be the next moonchild and Mother didn't want to fight her child, so she took her own life."

"That must've been so hard." Cindy frowned to her, she liked this girl again now so far.

"What can we do ya for, Dawn?" Marie asked. "Didja have a vision?"

"Yes, I did," the girl, Dawn, nodded. "About the cul-de-sac kids, they want to take advantage of Cindy because she's the new kid, and they're also planning on getting rid of Jo."

"What!?" Jo and Justine cried, Jo was angry and Justine seemed devastated.

"New kids are easy targets..." Cindy mumbled, she had to admit that.

"Unless you're like me, Lee, and May," Marie said then. "We were new kids even if we lived in the trailer park, but no one dared cross us..."

"I remember that, you made us wear your fathers' robes and treat us like husbands!" Eddy cried out.

"Sorry, I didn't wanna do it, but I had no choice," Marie said to him. "It was do it or have Lee beat the living tar of me... Sorry about disrespectin' your privacy, Double D."

"Aw, poor Ed..." Dee Dee hugged Ed, then kissed his cheek, making him chuckle.

"Jo, are you okay?" Justine asked in concern.

"I'll be fine, I'll just do some extra work-out after school." Jo reassured her.

"You must be careful, Jo, and you too, Cindy and Justine." Dawn advised.

"Don't worry, Careful's my middle name." Jo promised.

Cindy was a little overwhelmed then, but heeded Dawn's warning, she seemed so wise and mysterious.


At the Candy Store...

Kevin looked all over. "Where's my wallet?"

"You don't have it?" Nazz asked him.

"If I did, I wouldn't be lookin' for it, now would I, Nazz!?" Kevin yelled rather nastily to his girlfriend, he wasn't that kind to her, he liked his bike more than her and often flirted with other girls behind her back.

"Maybe Kevin traded his money holder for the magic beans, foolish Kevin, only in fairy tales!" Rolf scoffed.

"I saw those two juvenile delinquents with a wallet." Jimmy remembered.

"Who?" Nazz asked.

"Abby and Duncan Nelson," Sarah folded her arms in annoyance. "Ya know... Their parents are rich, but they practically break the law all the time."

"Those guys give me wedgies all the time." Jimmy shook in slight dear.

"They're always mean to me!" Sarah added.

"I don't see how Duncan got to be on Total Drama," Nazz folded her arms, looking peeved off. "He should be locked up in the state prison or somethin'."

"Abby needs to be in the State Prison too." Sarah added.

"How did Duncan and Abby get so popular anyway?" Jonny rolled his eyes.

"Beats me." Nazz huffed.

"Probably cuz of Mike," Kevin looked angry as he said the tomboy's name. "She used to be OUR friend until the dorks made her stupid into thinking they were better friends than we are!"

"Speaking of Total Drama, Nazz, isn't it true that you can't stand Anne-Maria?" Jimmy asked the blonde girl.

"Ugh, she's just some wannabe," Nazz rolled her eyes. "She thinks she's sooo pretty with that hairspray and that spray tan... She looks like a giant orange."

"She's pretty hot." Kevin whispered.

"I hear Jo liked Brick." Jimmy said.

"She did, until she met Justine... Haven't you heard?" Jonny spoke up. "Plank said that Jo REALLY likes Justine."

"That means she's a lesbian." Sarah explained.

"Eww." Nazz flinched.

"What's a lesbian?" Jimmy asked.

"Ya know, a dyke," Kevin replied, then saw he was still slow in response. "Chicks who like other chicks."

"I would never ever ever become a lesbian, not in a million years, they're disgusting!" Nazz was disgusted.

"But it's hot to watch 'em make out with each other!" Jonny laughed then.

"Rolf has never heard of this." Rolf said then.

"I wonder what Justin would say about his own sister being a lesbian?" Sarah smirked slightly.

"He'd probably be disgusted with her." Jimmy laughed.

"Yeah, lesbians are hated in their houses." Kevin chuckled.

Jonny saw the group coming. "Here they come!"

"Aw, great." Sarah snorted.


Kevin went to the group. "Hey, no dorks allowed, so leave!"

"Then why are you allowed in?" Cindy retorted, making her friends laugh, she had picked up some self defense and comebacks from them.

Duncan high-fived Cindy. "We taught her well, Abby."

"Hell yeah." Abby chuckled.

"Yeah, well, we don't want you losers, especially lesbians here!" Kevin then snapped.

"So just go away!" Sarah hissed.

Cindy giggled to Duncan and Abby, then paused. "Lesbian...? What lesbian?"

"That one!" Kevin pointed to the group.

Cindy looked back at them. "Who?"

"Your mom's not here, punks." Jo scoffed.

Kevin pointed to Jo and Justine. "Them!"

"You guys are lesbian?" Cindy asked. "Why didn't you tell me? I wouldn'tve judged you..."

"What do you know? Your girlfriend gets F's in everything!" Jo snorted, not seeming to feel any different whatsoever, even if Justine was now worried.

"I wonder how Justin would feel if his own twin sister is a lesbian?" Jimmy taunted.

"You can't tell him that!" Justine cried, she got along fine with Justin, but she wasn't sure how he felt about this sort of thing, she knew her mother wouldn't approve though.

Jimmy smirked. "What if I do? What are you gonna do about it?"

"A super wedgie so hard you'll be short for the rest of your life." Jo threatened, she learned that one from June when Ray-Ray was being a pain back home.

"Oh, your girlfriend is sticking up for you, how sweet." Sarah mocked.

"Rolf is disgusted with girls liking girls!" Rolf interjected.

"Just leave us alone..." Justine said in a whispering tone.

"Just leave them alone, they've done nothing to you, especially Ed, Edd, and Eddy," Cindy glared herself. "They told me all about how you would be mean to them for no reason!"

Abby pointed to Jimmy. "He framed Ed, Double D, and Eddy for something they didn't do and the losers believed them!"

"YOU LEAVE JIMMY ALONE!" Sarah snapped.

"I don't know what they're talking about..." Jimmy looked innocent.

"Yeah, right, Saturn face," Cindy insulted him unintentionally, then smirked to herself, chuckling a little. "That was totally mean, but kinda funny..."

"BULLCRAP!" Eddy shouted. "That twerp framed us!"

"And you guys are so stupid!" June snapped. "Eddy doesn't play hockey and wouldn't put the stick in the heart during Friendship Day!"

"Get lost if you all know what's good for ya!" Kevin snapped. "We're out!" he told his friends, leaving with them.

Jimmy looked back at Cindy, then stuck his tongue out at her before disappearing with the others.

"What do they have against the Eds?" Cindy asked.

"I dunno, but I don't like it, I never let anyone hurt my friends." Mike said with a sharp glare.

"Hey Jimmy!" Abby yelled out to him.

Jimmy turned around. Duncan and Abby then both gave him the middle finger. Jimmy blinked in offense, but growled at them and went off with his friends.

"Ever be in a candy store before?" Duncan asked the new girl.

"A long time ago." Cindy giggled, putting her hands in her pockets.
