October 30

For disclaimer, please see Chapter 6. If you don't feel like doing all that work, please read the following:

I don't own anything except my original characters, May, Carrie, and Naomi.

Double D walks into the school building with Crock and Reck helping him carry a box of invitations. Last night, he was awake until midnight making invitations with Ed, Carrie, and Crock decorating them, so he barely has the energy to stand.

"So, how did the invites turn out, Double Sockhead!" Eddy pulls one out and looks at it. On it is the correct information and underneath is are chibi versions of Ed and Carrie playfully hitting each other with baseball bats and in the corner is a picture of Dracula dancing. A huge sweat drop goes down Eddy's face.

"I helped draw the picture!" Carrie says proudly.

Eddy's sweat drop immediately goes away. "Looks good to me!"

"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP LAST NIGHT, EDDY!!!!!" Double D screams.

"Sorry, I was watching, um, the Charlie Brown Halloween special! Yeah…" Eddy flashbacks to last night where he's sitting on his couch covered in drool and watching some TV show about female lifeguards.

"That's no excuse! Me, Ed, and Carrie watched that same thing and drew the pictures at the same time!" Crock says. "You're just mean, making us do all the work!" Eddy backs down, realizing that he's contending with his crush and a giant reptile with jaws strong enough to snap him in two.

Carrie pulls out an egg McMuffin, takes a bite, and says something angrily at Eddy, but the only thing he gets out of the conversation is a face full of egg and biscuit. She swallows and says, "And I hope you got all that 'cause I'm not saying it again!"

"Well, at least me and Carrie are friends now!" Crock says. He tries to give Carrie a friendly hug, but she bites him on the arm, really hard! Crock screams in pain.

"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you, Crock!" Ed says. "Carrie doesn't like to be bothered when she's eating! Just ask Eddy." Ed shows Crock all of the bite marks Carrie left from all of those times he's gotten a little too close to her during mealtime. Eddy jerks himself free from Ed's grasp.

"Don't you ever touch me again, Ed!!!" Eddy roars. He looks behind him and sees Cosmos and K9 talking to each other. Carrie sees them too.

"Those are my new friends, um, I forgot their name…"

Eddy grabs a couple of invitations, slicks his hair back, and says, "I'm going to invite them to my party tomorrow night!" Eddy strolls over to Cosmos and K9 with Ed, Double D, and Carrie behind him.

"Let's head to class, Crock…" Reck says, bored. He and Crock go to class.

"Hi, Carrie!" K9 and Cosmos say.

"Hi Nazz and, um, Wendee Lee!" Carrie says. K9 and Cosmos stare at Carrie.

"So, this must be Ed, Double D, and Eddy." Cosmos says. "We've seen you in the halls before, but we've never actually talked. I'm Cosmos and this is K9."

The two of them turn to a smiling Ed. "And you must be Ed, Carrie's boyfriend!"

"Yup, that's me!" Ed replies in his usual tone.

"Ugh! He smells like Carrie's sandwich from her lunch the other day…" K9 whispers to Cosmos. Cosmos nods in agreement.

"And I'm Eddy! I just happened to have a couple of invitations to the annual Halloween party tomorrow night and I was just wondering if you'd like to come."

"Is Carrie going?" Cosmos asks. Carrie nods her head really hard which makes her hair hit Double D in the face a couple of times. "Well, it does look like fun…Okay! We're in!"

"Great! Now I've got to ask you something, do either of you need a date for it?"

"Yes," Cosmos and K9 answer. Eddy sweat drops and walks away sadly.

"If Eddy wanted a date so badly, I could've given him this one!" Carrie pulls a date (the fruit) out of her pocket.

"He doesn't mean that kind of date, Carrie!" Double D says, smacking himself in the face.

And so, the rest of the day, the Eds go around handing out invitations to all the kids. Before the third period late bell, Kevin goes to his locker door innocently and opens it, only to be crushed by a pile of invitations. He pokes his head out of the heap and sees Ed waving at him.

"Grr! DDDOOOORRRRKKKK!!!!!!!!!!"

"Dork!?" Ed says, confused.

During lunch, Miss Dorothy is innocently sitting at her desk when Carrie pops out of nowhere and stuffs an invitation in her mouth. Dorothy is so surprised that she nearly swallows the paper, but she catches herself and spits it out quickly.

"Are you out of your mind!? Wait, don't answer that…" Dorothy reads the paper. "So, this is that thing Double D's been working on with Frog Face…"

"Yup, and everyone's going to be there, except for the Red Guy because he won't put on pants and the Kankers because they dressed up like Jake Spiels once!"

"Well, at least I won't have to compete with Marie for Double D…"

"So, are you going, or am I going to have to swallow this sword?" Carrie pulls a sword out of her pocket and holds it over her mouth.

"Wait! You're going to hurt yourself!!! Okay, I'll go, but only because Double D's going…" Dorothy grins sinisterly.

The classes are easy today; Dorothy lets all of her classes goof off as long as no one disturbed her. Unfortunately, Irwin failed to do so and was thrown in the trash can by Ed at Dorothy's request. May was the only teacher who made the kids do any work, even though it was only notes. Lunch was filled with more orange fliers and invitations and everyone but Bowser Jr. accepted them openly.

"I hate Eddy! I want to DJ the party!" Bowser Jr. stood in his place and festered in his anger. "I'm going to ruin their fun! I'll show them once and for all!!!!"

Naomi is looking for Eddy after her friend Carrie gave her an invitation. She finally finds him where he's just gotten punched in the face by Sarah because the invite gave Jimmy a paper cut.

"C'mon Jimmy! Let's get you to a nurse!"

"So, you're hosting a party on Halloween, huh, dork?"

"Um, yeah, what's it to ya!?" Eddy asks trying to act tough, but the pain in his mouth after being hit by Sarah made that hard.

"So, give me a good reason why I shouldn't trash this party? I accept most forms of bribery, especially cash bribes, but an oral appeal works just as good, if it's good enough. So, either fork over a hundred bucks or convince me not to take your little party and pull the plug!"

"Well, uh, I don't know! Either come and don't mess things up or stay home!"

"Fine, but only because I like ya, dork! And you gave me five bucks!" Naomi holds her hand out and Eddy reluctantly places a five-dollar bill in her hand. She stuffs it in her pocket and walks away. "Later, dork!"

Zim is the next to receive an invitation, and he is quite happy, but in a bad way…

"Yes! Now I can crush them all at once with my new and improved giant alien robot!!!"

"Hey, you can't ruin the Eds' Halloween party! We called dibs!" Lee says, walking up to the unusually short Irken with May Kanker and Marie.

"No, I called it! I want to make those Eds pay for not picking me to DJ their party!!!" Bowser Jr. adds. The five of them argue with each other until Marie decides on something.

"SHUT UP!!!!!!! I suggest that we go by first come, first serve! Whoever gets to Eddy's house first gets to trash the party!"

"Oh, that's a relief! I thought you were going to suggest working together. ZIM WORKS ALONE!!!!!"

"Same here!" The Kankers, Bowser Jr., and Zim stare at each other intensely and they go their separate ways.

After the Red Guy has a mental breakdown from not being invited and Carrie makes Grim literally fall apart in History class, school ends.

"Okay, me, Grim, Double D, Dorothy, May, and Reck will decorate, Cat and Crock will be in charge of cooking the deserts and preparing the candy for tomorrow, and Ed and Carrie will call everyone and leave reminders."

"Hey, why don't we get to cook and prepare the candy?" Carrie objects bitterly.

"Because, you'll eat it all!!!" May answers.

"Well, not all of it…I'd leave some for Mr. Bean. He's nothing but bones!"

"Oh, sure! Make fun of de skinless guy!" Grim says sarcastically.

"Okay, let's get to work!"

"Right!" Everyone says, separating into their work groups. Ed and Carrie are left standing in Eddy's front yard, holding May's cell phone.

"Okay, so how do I work this thing, Ed?"

Ed pulls out an instruction manual and reads. "It says here that you have to open it." Carrie looks at the phone and bangs it against the mailbox. Finally, she lifts up on the top part of the phone, finally opening it, but her eyes swell up with tears.

"Oh, no, I BROKE IT!!!!!!! Whaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry!"

"No, Carrie! It's open! We didn't break it! Now all we have to do is dial a bunch of people's numbers and remind them about the…"

"PARTY AT EDDY'S HOUSE!!!!!!!!!" Ed and Carrie shout.

Carrie presses the number 3 and the phone makes a beeping noise that amuses her. She laughs and presses it again, and again, and again, and again, until the phone randomly falls apart.

"Okay, now I think it's broke!" Ed says. Carrie just whistles and tosses it into a nearby bush.

"Okay, job done! Now let's go help in with the…"

"PARTY AT EDDY'S HOUSE!!!!!!!!!" Ed and Carrie run into Eddy's house. Five minutes later, the sound of glass breaking shatters the silence of the cul-de-sac.

"Ed!!!!!!!! Carrie!!!!!!!!!!!"
