Kevin was at home, watching the game when his dad called out, 'Kevin, could you come outside for a minute?'
The jock got up off the couch and went outside where his dad was waiting in front of the garage.
'What's up, Dad?', Kevin asked him.
Calvin grinned before pressing a button on his keys. The garage door opened. Kevin's eyes grew huge and his mouth began watering as he saw that his garage was now filled with jawbreakers.
'Whoa, Dad…How?'
'Just got a new job at the jawbreaker factory,' Calvin gestured towards the garage, 'And this is inventory.'
'Um, Dad, could I have one?'
'Have as much as you want,' Calvin grinned, then paused, 'But not too much, you understand?'
'Yeah, Dad,' Kevin went into the garage and grabbed one.
'So, did we score yet?' Calvin began walking inside.
'Got one touchdown in so far.'
Kevin already had the chips and water set up near the couch, in preparation for his dad's arrival.
Father and son sat down together to enjoy the game. And once over, they had dinner.
'So, Kev, what happened today?'
'Oh, nothing unusual. Played with Rolf. Had to deal with one of the Eds' scams again.'
Oh…them, Calvin thought. Kevin shared a lot with his dad, including how the trio was a bunch of troublemakers and would-be con artists (and Calvin knew the youngest to be the kid brother of that punk who used to bully Kevin).
Calvin was divorced from Kevin's mom, with him taking custody. Though Calvin loved his son and was proud of him, he still took effort not to spoil him.
So, when Kevin asked him, 'Hey Dad, could I give some of the jawbreakers to my friends?', Calvin thought long and hard about it before answering, 'Sure thing, son.'
'Thanks, Dad,' Kevin began to turn to leave.
'Hey, son…'
'Yeah, Dad.'
'About what you said about those…Eds, maybe you should give them some as well,' Calvin frowned at Kevin's surprised look at his suggestion, 'Y'know, offer them an olive branch?'
Kevin nodded and went upstairs.
Later:
Kevin was walking through the cul-de-sac, carrying a box filled with jawbreakers.
His first stop was to hand Rolf (who had just finished his chores) a jawbreaker. Then, Jonny.
Continuing on, he saw Sarah and Jimmy crying in an empty pool (well, Jimmy was crying; Sarah was more-like angry). Stopping to ask what was wrong, he was told that the pool had dried up so, to cheer them up gave them each a jawbreaker.
And that's when he saw them. The dorks. Doing another one of their scams: Double D and Eddy were filling a hole with water while Ed was holding up a door.
Offer them an olive branch, Kevin mused as he approached the trio. But before he could say a word, Eddy told him he had to pay a toll to cross the 'moat'. Kevin tried to speak again only for Eddy to shove a cup in his face and demand money.
Annoyed, Kevin kicked the cup away, causing it to hit Eddy in the head. The midget told Kevin to hit the road. Kevin huffed and left with his box. Whatever. Dorks.
After handing out some more jawbreakers, Kevin decided to give his last jawbreaker to Nazz right when the Eds came up to him and asked him for three jawbreakers only for Kevin to reveals he was out before leaving. They had their chance.
That night, Kevin and Calvin sat down for dinner.
'So, Kev, did you do it?'
'Yeah, but they just told me to buzz off.'
'…Well, at least you tried, son. That's what's important.'
The next day, Kevin was riding on his bike when the Eds, with a similar bike, rode up next to him. Wearing the same clothes as him. And the same hat.
Weirded out, Kevin sped away, with the Eds trying to follow him.
Later, in his house, Kevin checked his window because he heard a loud disturbance outside. That was when he saw: Ed and Eddy were shirtless and wearing body paint and were bashing trash cans together while Double D was playing a kazoo. All while doing this lame cheerleading routine about his name.
In response, Kevin only held up a sign labeled 'Dorks.'
The next day, Kevin was doing his chores-starting with cleaning the chimney when the Eds-again dressed like him came up and offered to help. Kevin, realizing he could use this, perked up and let them at it while he wandered off to have some fun. Maybe the dorks would be useful for something after all.
Kevin was playing in his backyard when part of his house's wall fell down-right on top of him. Out of the wreckage, emerged Kevin and the Eds all covered in soot.
Kevin surveyed the damage. His chimney was destroyed. His house was missing a wall. And his living room was filled with soot.
Enraged, Kevin grabbed a broom and chased all three away.
Now alone, Kevin dreaded his father coming home to find the wreckage. Having enough, Kevin decided the least he could do was clean himself up.
Kevin was taking a bath when-What the heck?!
The Eds, fully clothed, popped up in his bath. Boiling with rage, Kevin snapped out of the bathtub and pulled the drain, sucking all three down.
As far as Kevin was concerned now, the less he saw of the Dorks the better.
Then, he heard his dad's yell, 'KEVIN!' and gulped.
