Author's Note-I am so sorry for taking so long to update. I really need to learn how to manage my time better.
Disclaimer-Ed Edd n Eddy belongs to Danny Antonucci.
Eddy had spent the rest of his Saturday indoors, watching TV. He would've spent the day scamming with Double D and Ed, but he had to let them think that he was still sick so they wouldn't find out about his deal with the Kanker sisters. Double D and Ed spent the whole day watching monster movies.
The next day, Ed and Double D knocked on Eddy's door to check on him. When Eddy answered the door, Double D gave him a concerned smile.
"Hello, Eddy. Are you feeling better?" Eddy yawned, faking drowsiness.
"Yeah, but I'm still pretty sick and real sleepy. You guys should go out and play, while I stay and get some rest."
"Aww, but we wanna play with you, Eddy!" Ed pouted
"We can hang out tomorrow, Lumpy. Until then, I need to hit the hay."
"Well, I suppose some rest would be good for you if you're still feeling sick, but are you sure that you don't need any assistance?" said Double D
"I'll be fine. All I need is some sleep."
"But, what if your cold gets worse? What if you have a coughing attack? What if it becomes harder to breathe? What if-" Double D panicked before Eddy interrupted him
"Calm down, Sockhead! Geez, you're such a petastic."
"Eddy, I believe you mean 'pessimist'." Double D corrected
"Whatever." Double D sighed
"Very well, we'll see you tomorrow, Eddy."
"See you later, Eddy." said Ed cheerfully
Eddy closed his door and looked out his window. He watched Double D and Ed leave until they disappeared into Double D's house. He then quickly ran outside and towards the forest. The Kankers hadn't returned to the Cul-de-sac on Saturday because they were too busy, but on Sunday they met Eddy in the forest again. When Eddy got to the forest, the Kankers were already there, waiting for him.
"What took you so long?" Marie said impatiently
"I had to do something." said Eddy
"Whatever, let's just get this over with." said Lee
Meanwhile in the Cul-de-sac, Nazz, Kevin, and Rolf listened as Sarah and Jimmy told them about their encounter with the Kanker sisters from the previous day.
"Those three bullies ruined our picnic and stole our money!" Sarah yelled in anger
"They were so mean and violent! They called us names, and they stuffed me inside of a picnic basket!" Jimmy cried
"That's awful!" Nazz said with concern in her voice
"Those girls are total witches." Kevin said indignantly
"Rolf fears that the wicked Kanker girls will return... If they dared to go after the short-tempered sibling of the Ed-boy, then who is to say that they will not come back for all of us?" Rolf said, fearfully
Jonny, who just so happened to be walking nearby, heard their conversation and decided to join it.
"The Kanker sisters went after you guys?" he said while facing Sarah and Jimmy
"Yeah, what's it to ya', Baldy?" Sarah said rudely
"Those three went after me and Plank too yesterday!" Jonny paused for a moment before continuing "Plank says that he thinks that Eddy might be behind all this. Yesterday when the Kankers finally left us alone, me and Plank saw them walking away with Eddy."
"So the dork's behind all this! I should've known." Kevin growled
"Ooh when I get my hands on him I'll-!" Sarah began angrily but was interrupted by Nazz
"Now hold on a second, guys! Jonny, are you sure that it was Eddy you saw with the Kanker sisters? Because last time I checked, the Eds were terrified of those girls." Nazz said reasonably
"That's true." said Jimmy "Why would Eddy want to be around the Kanker sisters when they always go after him and his friends?"
"The Ed-boy may be afraid of the Kanker-girls, but if Rolf remembers correctly, Sarah-girl did say something about the Kanker-girls stealing money from you and fluffy-boy-Jimmy."
"They stole money from me and Plank too! It was the money that we earned in the fundraiser." said Jonny
"And stealing money is right up Dorky's alley!" said Kevin
"Why that greedy little-"
"Sarah, look!" Jimmy yelled in fear, pointing behind Sarah. Everyone looked in the direction that Jimmy was pointing in, and a few gasped when they saw the Kanker sisters standing at the entrance to the Cul-de-sac, with a nervous-looking Eddy standing beside them.
"It's the Kankers!" Nazz yelled fearfully
"And Eddy!" Kevin growled angrily
"Heh heh, Hey guys...I can explain!" Eddy said nervously
"No need." Lee said before facing everyone else "So what if Eddy's working with us? It's not like you guys are gonna beat him up for it." Lee then walked up to Kevin, grabbed him by the shirt collar, and pulled him close until his face was inches away from hers. "Unless you want to get pounded for it." Lee growled
"U-uh..." Kevin stammered in fear
"That's what I thought." she said, letting go of Kevin. "Now, you all better give us your money or else!"
"Hang on!" Kevin began indignantly, regaining his composure "I'm not giving my money to anyone but the teacher. We shouldn't just give in! We can't just let these three take our money! Especially since Dorky's with them!"
"Kevin's right!" Nazz agreed "We can't just let them bully us! We need that money for the fundraiser."
"...Well, Rolf feels that we should FLEE!" Rolf suddenly yelled in panic, running in the direction of his home.
"I agree with Rolf!" Jimmy yelled fearfully before running away
"Wait for me, Jimmy!" Sarah called, running after him
"Plank's freaking out!" Jonny yelled before running away
Nazz and Kevin were the only two left with the Kankers and Eddy. The Kankers each held sinister grins as they stared at the two remaining kids. Nazz shivered slightly in fear, but Kevin simply glared in Eddy's direction. Eddy cowered in fear behind the Kankers to avoid Kevin's glare. Suddenly, Lee pounced on Kevin, knocking him over.
"Kevin!" Nazz yelled in concern
"Get out of here, Nazz. Save yourself!" said Kevin. Nazz hesitated for a moment, but when she noticed Marie and May grinning evilly at her, she began to run away. Unfortunately, she didn't get very far before May pounced on her from behind, causing her to fall forward with May on her back.
"Give us your money, Blondie!" Marie growled
"Ahh! Kevin, help!" Nazz yelped
"I can't!" Kevin called as he struggled under Lee's grasp. Lee was on top of him, and she had his arms pinned down to keep him from getting up.
"Get his wallet, Marie!" said Lee
Marie, who had just taken Nazz's wallet, did as she was told and took Kevin's wallet out of his pocket. She took money out of each wallet and then tossed the now-empty wallets to the ground, carelessly.
"I got it, Lee." said Marie
"Good." Lee said before standing up. May also stood up. Nazz and Kevin stood up from the ground, but before they could run away or do anything else, Lee grabbed them by the sides of their heads and knocked their heads together, giving them headaches and effectively knocking them out. The two fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Okay, Marie, you go get the farm-boy, and bring him here." Said Lee
Marie ran in the direction of Rolf's house with a mischievous grin on her face. Lee faced May before continuing.
"May, you go get the little red head and her friend, and I'll go get the weird, bald kid."
"But Lee, we already beat those kids up." May said as she raised an eyebrow in confusion
"I don't care! Just do what I said, and bring them here!" Lee shouted impatiently, causing May to run in the direction of Jimmy's house. Lee turned to face Eddy.
"You stay here, and make sure that these two don't move."
"What am I supposed to do if they wake up?!" Eddy asked, nervously
"I don't know. Knock them back out or something!" Lee said, and before Eddy could argue, she ran in the direction of Jonny's house, leaving behind a nervous and unsure Eddy.
Meanwhile at Double D's house, Ed and Double D were in Double D's room. Ed was sitting in a chair, and Double D was sitting on his bed and holding a book.
"Are you gonna read me a story, Double D?" said Ed
"Why yes, Ed. This is an encyclopedia, and I'm going to read it to you so that we can experience the joy of learning." Double D said excitedly "This encyclopedia will focus on the study of insects."
"Cool! That reminds me of a movie I saw once called 'I Married a Thorax'. It had lots of bugs in it."
"Yes well, I'm glad that you're feeling enthusiastic, Ed" Double D said before opening the book "Now, let's begin. Chapter one..."
At Rolf's house, Rolf was hiding in his shed where all of his cows, chickens, and other animals were currently residing. He had decided to hide all of his animals in his shed to protect them from the wrath of the Kanker sisters. Rolf shivered in fear as he looked around nervously at all of his animals, who were bunched up together in the tiny shed, not leaving much room for Rolf to move.
"Stay silent, for they may sense our fear..." Rolf whispered
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance, causing Rolf to stiffen and hold his breath for a moment. After a moment, the sound suddenly stopped, and Rolf began to sweat nervously. After a few more moments of silence, Rolf let out a breath of relief, but his relief was short-lived because soon a SLAM could be heard as Marie Kanker slammed open the door to Rolf's shed.
The loud noise startled Rolf's animals, and they began to squeal in alarm as they all stampeded out of Rolf's shed, leaving the farmer behind with the blue-haired Kanker sister. Rolf stared at the Kanker sister before him in shock and in fear. Marie simply grinned mischievously as she began to advance toward Rolf.
"Stay back!" Rolf yelled, but Marie continued, and soon Rolf's yells could be heard coming from the shed, as the shed tilted left and right, and crashing noises came from it.
Later, Lee returned back to the main part of the Cul-de-sac, with a dazed Jonny in her arms. May returned with an angry Sarah, who was growling, and a crying Jimmy in her arms. And Marie returned with a beaten-up Rolf in her arms. The three sisters approached Eddy.
Eddy sighed in relief. He had never been so relieved to see the Kanker sisters. While they had been gone, he had been worrying about the possibility of Kevin and Nazz waking up. He wasn't sure how he'd explain things to Kevin if the jock had woken up and tried to pummel him for making the Kanker sisters steal his money. Fortunately, the two unconscious children remained unconscious while the Kankers were away.
As the Kanker sisters approached Eddy, Nazz and Kevin began to stir. Kevin groaned as he began to sit up, but soon, Jonny, Rolf, Sarah, and Jimmy were thrown in a pile on top of Kevin and Nazz. The beaten-up children moaned in pain as Eddy and the Kanker sisters stood before them.
"Now," Lee began, as she addressed the children lying before her "If any of you even think about telling the teacher about what we did to help Shorty here-"
"Hey!"
"-win the contest, whoever snitched is gonna get pummeled to a pulp! Got it?"
The children all frantically and fearfully agreed to not tell the teacher about what happened.
"Good." Lee said with a grin before scowling "Now SCRAM!" The children rushed to leave, as they all ran away in fear to their own respective houses. The Kankers each gave Eddy the money that they had collected that day, and Eddy wore a huge grin as he counted the money in his hands.
"Sweet! Now I can win the contest!" Eddy said excitedly
"Yep, and you and your friends are gonna go on dates with us." Lee reminded him, causing his smile to disappear.
"Oooh, I can't wait! I can't believe I got a date with big Ed!" May said excitedly as the Kankers began to walk off.
"I can't wait to see the look on Double D's face when he finds out!" Marie said with an evil grin before the Kanker sisters disappeared into the forest.
Eddy groaned and face-palmed as he began to regret making that deal with the Kanker sisters. He could only hope that he and his friends would be able to get the date over with and never speak of it again afterwards.
Speaking of Double D and Ed, they had spent the day at Double D's house reading the encyclopedia, so they were unaware of the events that took place outside. Double D was currently finishing up.
" ...And that is how insects live their lives. The End." Double D looked up from the pages of the book, and his eyes widened slightly in surprise when he saw that Ed had fallen asleep on the chair that he had been sitting on. Double D sighed.
"I suppose that learning isn't a suitable hobby for everyone" He said as he reached underneath his hat, pulled out a blanket and draped it over his sleeping friend, gently before leaving the room to call Ed's mother and tell her that Ed would be sleeping over.
