Author's Note: well, it's here. Sorry for the hiatus of this story, but I'm glad to be doing more of it. The story has now moved ahead a bit into the future and there have been some changes in the city.

A few months had passed and things had changed quite a bit. Allot of cartoon cartoons were now out of business and the Eds and Courage, Billy and Mandy were some of the few remaining.

Bloo and Lazlo had taken up allot of the network along with some other new toons and things weren't looking too good. The Eds were feeling a bit down with the changes and allot of their fellow cartoon pals getting the boot from the network.

Double D was sitting in his bedroom, by his desk as he was looking back and remembering some good old days he had in CN city, especially with his old pal Dexter, fellow boy genius.

Double D then heard a knock at his door. He walked downstairs to answer it and saw it was Ed and Billy. After being rather lonely for past few days he was very excited to see them. "Ed, Billy, why come in, but be sure to wipe your feet first."

Ed and Billy just rushed in and forgot to do what Double D said. Double D just sighed and said, "Oh, well..."

"Hey, Double D! Coming to your house is a blast! Haha," Ed said. he and Billy then ran into Double D's room and started jumping on his bed.

Double D rushed upstairs and ran into his room and said, "Now, that's quite enough. I know that the city that used to give us enjoyment isn't the way it was, but can't you and Billy find other stuff to keep yourselves occupied?"

Ed and Billy then jumped off the bed and Billy then started to cry and said, "But Double D! We tried having fun at Ed's house, but Sarah was mean to us, and Mandy and Grim don't wanna play with me today!" He then picked up Jim and said, "Also, your cactus is cool! Haha," Billy then took a bite out of Jim and then screamed, "Oww! Cactus hurts my tongue!"

Ed then laughed as Double D then gasped and ran over to Billy, grabbing Jim and said, "Billy, shame, mister. Cactus have feelings just like-"

Before Double D could finish, he then noticed Billy was in tears. He then put Jim down and said, "Oh, dear, Billy. Are you in pain?"

Billy then tried to crack a smile and responded, "Oh, no, Double D. It's just-" Billy then pulled out a picture of Bubbles in his pocket and said, "Cartoon Network just isn't fun anymore, like the old days in the city."

Ed then began crying next and said, "Yeah, Double D. Cartoon Network gave Dee Dee the boot. I will never forget her, no I won't." He and Billy then were both sobbing.

Even Double D at the moment couldn't say much to help. He then sat down at his desk. "Oh, dear. I had a feeling something was going this happen those months ago, when Johnny and Courage both tried to warn us. Oh, little did we know the new cartoons were going to take over in less then a year."

Eddy then jumped through Double D's window and said, "They didn't take over. We still got us, Billy, Mandy and Courage, right?"

Double D then stood up and gasped. "Eddy, must you barge in like that? And did you wipe your feet?"

Eddy just looked at him and yawned. Double D just looked irritated. "I tell you guys, we can't let this Bloo whatever the heck he is, his monkey friend and all those new toons run us out. We've been with this network for years. They ain't giving us the boot!"

"Just be thankful we got a season 5 that's coming this year, Eddy. Though I do feel that our days on Cartoon Network might be coming to a close." Double D responded in a rather stressful tone.

Eddy then grabbed Double D by his hat and said, "We shouldn't have to hide all because Bloo wants to keep things his way. I'm not gonna stand for this. We still got a city out there with cool happinin' stuff for us to do. Let's go check it out and ignore this Bloo guy!"

Eddy then left Double D's room and headed for the door. Ed ran after him and shouted, "Let's go to the city, Double D!"

Double D then followed him, along with Billy and Double D then sighed and said to himself, "Oh, my, do I miss the powerhouse days."

About an hour later, the toons were walking in the city and Eddy began getting bored after awhile. "Man, this place really has died, ain't it. Everything thing looks like a ghost town."

"I miss the old days, Eddy!" Ed sobbed as he then saw the candy store that they saw on their first day in the new city and he rushed over to the closed down store and said, "Ed needs jawbreakers, guys!"

"Get a hold of yourself, lumpy. We'll get control of this. That little Blue piece of nothing can't just come kick us out of our domain!"

"Eddy, Bloo might hear you. He has watchers. He sees everything that happens!" Double D said, nervously.

Eddy just laughed and said, "Oh, you mean like Lazlo, Robot boy or Jake the monkey?" Eddy then started cracking up

He then picked up Ed and said, "We're getting some jawbreakers, sockhead." He then used Ed to bust the door open.

"I'm the door opener! Haha," Ed shouted.

Double D just facepalmed and Billy then ran into the candy store with them. "I like chocolate! Hehe?"

Double D then followed them and said, "Oh, I got a bad feeling in my stomach right now."

Eddy then stuffed a jawbreaker in his mouth and said, "You just need something to calm your nerves, Double D."

Double D soon couldn't help to enjoy the jawbreaker as he then forgot they shouldn't be in that store.

Author's Note: sorry for the short chapter. The next one will explain more that is going on and will also be up in time for the story's one year anniversary.
