The weekend quickly passed for the boys that were working the dance. After working for most of the day on Saturday, they all went home and passed out. The rest of the cul-de-sac kids went to Ed's house for a movie marathon. When Sunday rolled around, everyone did their own thing and stayed with their families.

On Monday morning, the sky was dark and cloudy. Eddy woke up, showered, and got his school stuff ready. He grabbed his book bag and walked outside, where Double D and Ed were waiting in Double D's Impala, which was blasting some dubstep music. Eddy slid into the back seat and the Ed boys drove off.

"Guys I need help." Ed said as soon as they pulled away from Eddy's house.

"What's wrong, Ed?" Double D asked.

"Well you guys know how I like Emma? Well I want to ask her out on a date, but I'm too scared. Will you guys help me?" Ed asked, a little embarrassed.

Double D and Eddy looked at each other and grinned. They were happy that there big oaf of a friend had finally found a girl.

"Sure, Ed. We got you!" Eddy said, patting Ed's chest.

"I knew I could count on you guys!" Ed exclaimed.

The three laughed as they pulled into their schools student parking lot. They all grabbed their stuff and headed toward the building with their lockers.

"Eddy!"

Eddy looked up towards the gym, cringing. Ms. Campbell was waiting there for him with Jonny and Kevin. Eddy told his friends he'd see them in a minute and walked over to her.

"Who's ready for working again? Now get in there!" Ms. Campbell yelled.

"But what about our classes?" Jonny asked.

"You can go to those as soon as you finish today's task!" Ms. Campbell told him with a sneer.

Ms. Campbell opened up the gym door to reveal a pile of streamers, a pile of balloons, a helium tank, a disco ball, and a ladder.

"What do we do with these?" Kevin said, groggily.

"What do you think? You hang them up! Get to work!" Ms. Campbell said with an evil smile. She walked away laughing.

"This bites…" Kevin said.

"Well, let's get to work." Jonny said.

The boys walked to the pile of streamer, grabbed a latter and some tape and went to work setting up the streamers. They taped them about twenty feet up on the wall and covered the whole gym in about an hour. Next, they inflated all 75 of the balloons and tied streamer to their ends. They tied the balloons to the tables and sent some up to the ceiling. After about two hours of doing that, they still had the disco ball to put up.

"How do we do this?" Jonny asked, scratching his head.

"Uh, do we have a scissor lift?" Kevin pondered.

The three left the room, looking for Ms. Campbell.

"What are you three doing, patrolling my halls?" a high pitched voice asked.

"Jimmy." Eddy said, shifting his eyes.

The three turned around, and saw Jimmy standing with his hands on his hips. He was wearing a hall monitor's uniform, similar to what police men wore, reflective aviator sunglasses, and had a whistle in mouth.

"We're just looking for, Ms. Campbell, dweeb. Leave us alone." Kevin said, turning.

"Not so fast, Kevin. I'm going to need to see a hall pass." Jimmy remarked, tilting his sunglasses.

"We don't have any. Ms. Campbell didn't give us any." Jonny said, scratching his arm.

"Well you boys are going to have to come with me."

Jimmy led the three straight to Ms. Campbell's room. When they entered, Ms. Campbell awoke from a nap and looked around a little cluelessly. When her eyes met the three older boys', they turned into a glare.

"What are you doing outside of the gym?" Ms. Campbell barked.

"We came looking for you because we have no way to set up the disco ball." Kevin snapped.

"We'll have none of that attitude, mister! Follow me." Ms. Campbell said, standing from her chair.

She led the three boys and Jimmy to the janitor's closet. When they entered, they found him playing an online video game.

"What can I do fer ya?" the janitor asked, not taking his eyes from the screen.

"These boys need a scissor lift, and they need your help operating it." Ms. Campbell remarked.

The janitor sighed, removed his hat, and ran his fingers through his hair.

"All right, come with me." the janitor said, standing up.

"Jimmy, go with them. I don't want them to get in any more trouble." Ms. Campbell said.

"Ma'am, yes ma'am!" Jimmy said, saluting.

The janitor led the boys behind the gym and revealed a large door on the outside. He fumbled through his keys and opened the door after a few tries with different keys. The door creaked open and revealed a scissor lift coated in cobwebs.

"She hasn't been used since '03. Don't break it." the janitor said, leaving.

"Wait, how do we…" Jonny tried to ask, but the janitor had already left.

"Get to work!" Jimmy sneered.

"Shut up, Jimmy. I got this." Kevin said, jumping onto the lift.

After pressing a few buttons, Kevin got the thing running and slowly moved it out of the giant closet. He almost ran into the wall a few times getting it back into the gym. He positioned it in the center of the gym and stopped it.

"Hand me the ball and some streamer." Kevin said.

Eddy handed Kevin what he wanted and Kevin rose up to the top of the gym. He tied a streamer to an attachment on the disco ball and strung it up on a ceiling support.

"Is it tight enough?" Jonny yelled up.

"Yeah." Kevin said without checking it.

Kevin came back down and wiped his hands on Jimmy's uniform.

"Hey!" Jimmy exclaimed.

"My bad. Let's go, we're done." Kevin said.

As they left the room, the bell rang signaling for lunch time.

"Word!" Eddy said, sprinting towards the cafeteria.

"Not so fast, Eddy!" Ms. Campbell, said grabbing his shirt as he entered the lunch room. "You have work to make up."

"Are you dead serious?" Eddy asked, less than amused.

"Of course!"

Ms. Campbell dragged Eddy back to Kevin and Jonny and brought them to her room. They had piles of books and paper on their desks.

"Now work."

The boys sat and worked, complaining about the unfairness of it. They worked until the end of the school day and Ms. Campbell dismissed them.

"Hey, let's check out what we've done, and make sure no one's messed with it." Eddy said, as they left the room.

The three headed for the gym, avoiding Jimmy and his hall monitorness. They joked as they walked into the gym, but they stopped as soon as they saw what had happened to their hard work…
