Rolf, Double D, Eddy, Johnny, Kevin, and Nazz sat around the campfire blazing in Rolf's backyard. The smoke seemed to go up for miles into the suburban, starry night sky. The fortress Rolf built around his farm was at least 3 times taller and wider than the fortress he built for the "supposed" return of Eddy's brother.

Ed came running back with Sarah in one hand and Plank in the other.

"PLANK!" Johnny cried as he grabbed Plank and hugged him.

"Ed! What the heck are you-" Sarah began.

"Fret not, She Who Gives a Migraine, for I will tell the tale of Slenderman… as it's said in your country," Rolf said.

For once, Sarah sat down quietly. Ed closed the rather large entrance of the fortress and then the entrance to the farm. Rolf sat on a log, while the others sat on the bare grass.

"Urban areas bring monsters to their parts," Rolf began the tale. "But one… stands out from the rest. He is one whose face is… blank. He wears a formal suit, the kind I wear on my family reunion sometimes. He is tall, 9 or 10 foots tall-"

"I… uh think you mean feet, Rolf," Double D said, not being able to take any grammar mistake.

"No time, Ed boy. We must make haste! This creature is said to hunt down children and impale them," Rolf continued. "But he does not come out often. He resides in forest areas, much like the Cul-de-Sac. We're children, 13 or 14 years old. But She Who Gives a Migraine and Crybaby Jimmy were both only 8 or 9."

"Dude, what you're saying is that it hunts down the youngest ones first? That's messed up," Kevin said.

Rolf nodded darkly. The others shifted around uncomfortably. Sarah was breathing hard because she realized that she'd be next.

"The tale doesn't end there," Rolf continued. "It says if you look at Slenderman too long, you'll get paralyzed and impaled. Do not go near the forest, especially at night, when you are vulnerable.

"Rolfie Boy, why don't we just call Animal Control and they'll take care of this?" Eddy said.

Rolf shook his head.

"They will die. And it would not matter. When Slenderman finds his next victim, he would not stop until he kills them. Anyway, friends, I insist that you stay in my fortress, for it is not safe outside. Crymouth Jimmy was a victim of this… Slenderman," Rolf offered.

The others agreed. It wasn't the slightest bit safe outside. Besides, there were like, LOTS of rooms at Rolf's place. The 3 Eds got the shed, and promised Rolf they'd be careful this time. The others stayed in numerous rooms inside the 2nd floor of the house. Rolf sat in a chair outside, offering to keep watch for tonight. He started sharpening a harpoon.

Inside the shed, the 3 Eds set up Ed's room again. Double D was reading a book, Eddy was sitting on top of the cow, bored out of his skull, and Ed was running around collecting the chickens.

Double D always knew that supernatural things existed, but he didn't expect something like this. Eddy didn't really care about Slenderman. And Ed said "I haven't got a clue to what you're saying, Double D."

"This is so useless. So what if this Slenderman dude shows up again. We've survived a waterfall, my brother, a haunted house, Evil Tim's curse, Edzilla, a lot of other stuff, and we've managed to make a whole lot of scams. What's so different with Slenderman, huh?" Eddy ranted.

"Please refrain from touching the cow, Eddy," Double D commented, looking up from his book. "It's all fun and games until someone breaks a rib falling off of a farm animal."

Rolf came running in.

"Ed boys! Come quickly! She Who Gives a Migraine is missing!" Rolf yelled.

"Baby… sister?" Ed asked.
