Wow this took longer than I thought it would... Part of the chapter is based on the song 'Creepy Toast'. I didn't write it or anything. Been looking forward to this chapter for a long time! :3 Random sentence of the day: Bucket of denial! *Hits you with ultimate bucket of denial*
Ed was going through the pantry, his stomach growling like crazy even though he just dinner only five minutes ago. "Alyssaaa! I'm hungrryyy!" He yelled.
"We already ate Ed! Wait for a while!" Yelled Alyssa from the living room. Ed whined a bit and continued to hunt for food. There was barely anything IN there except for a lonely slice of bread.
"Awww... Are you feeling lonely there bread? I know! I wanna eat some buttered toast!" Ed then ran to the toaster and put in the oddly smelling piece of bread. He waited for a minute then pulled it out. It was still bread. He put it back into the toaster and pulled it out another minute later. Still bread. He did the same thing over and over until he got so frustrated that he was about to eat the toaster instead when Double D came in and stopped him.
"You gotta plug it IN first Ed." He said calmly, putting in the plug then the bread. The toaster heated up the bread. Ed cheered and then hugged Double D tightly. The toaster dinged and when the toast shot up Ed dropped Double D immediately and grabbed his toast. He stared at it for a second.
"Double D?"
"Yes Ed?"
"I'm winning."
"You're winning what?" After a few seconds, Ed had a victorious look on his face.
"I beat you toast! I beat you at staring!" Double D was thoroughly confused now. He looked at the toast and then screamed like a little girl. The toast... had EYES... and a MOUTH! He ran out of the room as fast as he could. "Double D? Where are you going?"
Living Room
Alex crept up from behind the couch where Eddy and Alice were sitting. In her hand was a banana. As quietly as she could, she put the banana into Eddy's ear. Eddy lifted his hand up and tried smacked away the banana. She pulled it out and ducked behind the couch. "What the heck?" He looked around but didn't see her. She came back up and put the banana back in his ear. He tried to smack it away again but she hid again before he got the chance to catch her in the act. Alex was about to put the banana back in Eddy's ear when Double D crashed into the room, pale and looking like he was going to piss himself any second.
"Woah. Double D, where's the fire?" Alice asked, lounging on the edge of the couch.
"I-I-I-It's... ALIVE!" Double D cried out.
"What's alive?" Eddy asked.
"Ed's toast! I-It's got eyes!" He said, flailing his arms. Ed came out of the kitchen with the toast in his hand.
"That's totally stupid Double D! Why would a piece of toast have..." Alice started, but then Ed showed them the toast and they all were awestruck. Alex was the first to regain her composure.
"That... is... AWESOME! Can it talk? huh? Huh?" Alex asked, all sparkly eyed. The toast only glared at her in response with strange red eyes. Alyssa came down the stairs with some of her school papers but when she saw the toast she dropped the entire stack of papers.
"What the..." Double D hid behind her.
"I think I'm gonna go take a shower now..." Alice said, getting up from her seat and refusing to make any eye contact with the freaky piece of toast.
"Ed... you really need to get rid of that thing. It looks even worse than mold." Alyssa said. Ed clutched the toast to his chest.
"No! We are best friends!"
"EAGH! YOU ARE MAKING ME CRUMBLE!" Screamed the piece of toast. There was silence, then everyone except for Ed backed up and ran off in some direction that wasn't close to that thing. Double D and Alice screamed like crazy.
"They're just jealous!" Ed said, not really understanding why his friends left.
"Why don't you eat me?" The toast asked. "I am PERFECTLY tasty!"
"Because we're friends!" Ed said, matter-of-factly. The toast only answered that statement with a malicious looking smile that would have droven anyone BUT Ed off. He took it as a kind smile and then ran off to do things with his newlyfound friend.
Later that day
Alice and Alyssa were outside in the yard talking about some project when Ed brought out the toast so that they could play in the dirt. The toast winked at the girls and they went pale in the face. "Is that thing... Checking us out?" Alice asked, grossed out. Alyssa looked like she was gonna vomit.
"I sure hope not..." They creeped away, feeling very nervous as the toast's red eyes stayed on them until they went out of sight. After they were gone, the toast's disposition darkened.
"Toast? Are you okay?" Ed asked, now covered from head to toe in dirt. The bread didn't answer and continued to make an a angry face. "Toast? Toaaaast?" The toast hissed and tried to bite him. "No! No biting!" Scolded Ed. The toast hissed at him and wiggled around, trying to escape his grasp.
That night
Ed couldn't sleep at all. Toast kept making scary faces at him with those scary red eyes of his. The toast also made horrible breathing and hissing noises. Unable to take anymore, Ed scrambled out of his bed in his underwear and ran out the room. The toast smiled evilly where it lay. Ed ran through the halls until he came to Eddy's door. He banged on it wildly but Eddy was out like a light with tissues stuffed in his ears according to another visit a few nights ago from Alex and three crabs that somehow got in his bed. He jiggled the knob but the door wouldn't open. Ed tried to break down the door but he wasn't as strong as he was back then because of him no longer being a cartoon. He didthe same on Double D's but when he opened the door he wasn't there for some odd reason. Ed opened the door to Alice's room as quietly as he could to find her sleeping. A rush of perfume hit him and he shut the door, the stench too much. Then he looked in Alyssa's to see her asleep and Double D on the floor, reading a thick black book with the word 'grimoire' on the spine. He read it under the light of a flashlight.
"The answer cannot be logical... so it must be SOMEWHERE in here." He muttered, going through some pages until he came across a mentally scarring one, causing him to flinch and shut the book. "Double D?" He looked up, alarmed.
"This isn't what it looks li-" Ed shut the door, not even caring. He just wanted somewhere to sleep without anything yo bug him. Finally he came to Alex's room and opened her door to find her sleeping. There was a cozy smell of dirty socks and rotting food in the room. Smacking his lips with drowsy eyes, he crawled into the bed with her without even realizing or caring she was in the bed. He hugged her, thinking she was a Teddy bear, and slept peacefully. She smelled something gross, but ignored it and they both snored away.
The next morning
Sweating like crazy, Alex awoke to something poking at her backside and something smelly across her body. She looked down to see something going in her shirt and groping her. Horrified, she looked behind her. To see Ed drooling on the pillow wearing nothing but his dirty underwear.
Downstairs
Eddy looked over the card Dolly had given to him a while ago. Alice came down the stairs and he hid the invite. She went into the kitchen and came back out with cereal and a bowl. She poured in her cereal and put a spoonful of cereal and milk in her mouth. "EAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHH!" Alice did a huge spit take all over Eddy. He glared at the girl and she just ignored him, eating again. "What the heck Alice!" He yelled.
"Sorry Eddy." She said, then threw him a napkin.
Living room
Ed flew down the stairs with multiple bruises. He landed on a set of knights armor and crashed on the floor. Alex stood above him, panting and sweating with a huge blush across her face. "Why did you hit meee?" He whined, feeling his sore head.
"You fucking come into my room at night and I wake up to see you feeling my boobs! Why WOULDN'T I hit you?" She yelled. Alyssa came down the stairs grumbling.
"What the hell is all the racket for?" She muttered.
"Ed is a pervert! That's what!" She screamed, then stomped up the stairs. It was silent for a moment until Ed got up.
"Hey... where is that toast you had yesterday?" Ed gasped and ran upstairs. Alyssa shrugged it off and went into the kitchen. Double D was fast asleep on her carpet for some reason with her grimoire on his lap.
Ed burst into the room to find the toast was no longer on the pillow. He dug around everywhere but there was no red eyed toast anywhere.
Kitchen
"I will come to you when you sleep... and steal all your souls..." Said the toast in a monotone. Alice and Eddy stared at it with disgust and fear. Alice was in mid painting her nails and the shock of seeing the toast suddenly there made her miss her finger and onto the table with royal blue nail polish. Alex then came in and snatched up the toast, not even realizing it was THE toast and she took a big chunk out of its head. It screamed in pain and a small green soul flew out of the toast, surprising Alex and making her drop the toast.
"What the hell did I just eat?" She asked with a mouthful of toast pieces. No one really answered her but she ran to the bathroom and spat out all the pieces. Ed came into the room and found the toast, now dead.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" He cried out, holding the corpse of his toast. But then he ate the rest of it. "HE WILL LIVE ON IN MY TUMMY!" He cried out. Alice and Eddy just ignored the show Ed was putting on. She noticed something poking out of Eddy's pocket, so she stole it.
"HEY! Give that back!" Eddy yelled. Alice looked over the envelope and narrowed her eyes at Eddy.
"You were thinking of going to that bitches party weren't you?"
"So? I can go if I want to!" He yelled. She handed him back the envelope. "And there's nothing you can say that will change my mind!"
"Then go." She said, strangely calm. Eddy paused. He expected something else than that. It kind of creeped him out. She left him in a eerie silence.
School
Eddy had his hands stuffed into his jean pockets as he stared at the hard floor in anger like he would burn two holes through it. Double D noticed his odd behavior. "Is something amiss Eddy?"
"No, just mind your own buisness sockhead." All of a sudden, an announcement came on the intercom. Alice was prepared to throw something at the intercom speakers when she heard WHO'S voice it was.
Heeey people! Just wanna remind you that MY special sweet sixteen is coming up, THIS FRIDAY! So prepare to be rocked because we're gonna have live music and lots of food! Bring a bathing suit too because there's gonna be a pool and everything. Hope all you POPULARS can come!
"Eddy, weren't we invited? Does that mean we're popular?" Ed asked excitedly.
"I guess so..." eddy said, not believing it himself. Double D was weary about the idea of going to the party. Alyssa came by with a large stack of books in her arms.
"Oh! Alyssa! Let me take a few of those..." Double D was prepared to take a few until one of the jocks shoved her and all the books tumbled out of her arms. Double D caught her. The jock laughed and walked off. Alyssa got back up and brushed off her black shirt with a cute chibi panda on it.
"Maybe the popular thing hasn't traveled around yet." Eddy said, sweating. Alice just rolled her eyes and walked away. "What's her problem?"
"I dunno. Maybe she have her 'cranky time'." Ed said.
"...cranky time?" Double D asked. It took a minute for them all to understand to what Ed was referring to.
Friday: An hour before the party
Dylan tied up his pink tie and inspected himself in the mirror with disgust. Leave it to his older sister Dolly to find him a pink tuxedo that was both tight and stiff. His dark blond hair was slicked back with his favorite gel and black shoes on his feet. The collar was practically choking him to death. He tugged at it but the stupid thing refused to loosen. The only thing he was allowed to wear was his favorite sunglasses. A friend gave them to him after he moved and ever since then he never went out without them, either on his face or stashed someplace in his pockets. "Dylan? Are you ready?" Asked his mom. He slid on his sunglasses and looked himself over with a sigh.
"Yeah! C'mon in!" He yelled. His mom, wearing a magenta sparkly dress with pearls and high heels came in. She was especially bony and wrinkly. Red lipstick and pink eyeshadow on her face along with blush. She looked like some sort of crazed clown.
"Dylan! What have I told you, not to tug at your ties!" She scolded, then re-tightened his collar, choking him again. Dolly stormed into the room, curlers in her pure blonde hair and a facial mask still on her face. Now there was a clown AND a zombie in his room.
"MOM! Where is my necklace? You SAID that it would be on my dresser!" She yelled. Dylan flinched, when that woman yelled, it was almost too high for his poor eardrums to handle.
"Oh I'm sorry dearie! Let's go find it. Dylan, you keep your tux in clean and in order or I will ground you for a month!" She said, then finally leaving the room with Dolly. Dylan looked over himself again, he could barely feel his limbs as the blood began to rush but he moved around and secretly loosened some buttons.
An hour later
People began to come into the large white mansion, and the party was held in the backyard. There was a huge table full of food, a pool full of people having fun, a rock band and a bunch of people dancing. There was also a huge pile of presents and among them was a brown pony with a pink saddle and a bow on its head. The Eds came into the party without the Als. They had completely objected to going to the party, so they stayed at home. Double D placed their present among all the others. Minnie caught sight of the boys and directed Dolly's attention to them. Rebecca was the first to pounce. She had on a orange skirt with a yellow blouse and high heels. She grabbed Double D's arm and refused to let go. He didn't enjoy it very much and slid out of her grasp, backing away as she came closer than he wanted. Dolly came in a sparkling beautiful white dress with pink and she took Eddy's hand and dragged him inside the house as Ed was taken away by the strangely friendly Minnie who was wearing a strapless red dress that was strangely tight, showing off every curve she had.
"Do you like the party Edmund?" She asked, not even caring about his name.
"It's Eddy."
"Whatever. Now that you're here, why don't we talk?" She cornered him between two walls, blue eyes glowering down on him.
"About...?" He was beginning to dislike this girl.
"Your connection with Alice. You see... the reason I invited you and your friends here, is to get under her skin. And maybe even steal her boyfriend." She put a finger under his chin and he ducked and got out of his trapped position.
"Look lady, I only came here to hang. Not deal with more romance shit!" Eddy yelled. By now they were causing a stir and some people were watching.
Outside
Double D ran for his life among the crowd, Rebecca chasing after him. If she was a cartoon she would be having hearts fluttering around her head and in her eyes. Ed was shoved into the pool and constantly being pushed into the pool by Minnie. Right now she had a BB gun and she shot at him as he swam for his life. She laughed like a maniac until the gun was hit from her hand and another threw her into the pool. Ed climbed out and looked behind him. Something whinneyed loudly. "ONWARD NAPOLEON!" Screamed a very hyper voice.
"Come back here! I want to talk to you!" Rebecca shouted, but Double D kept running. All of a sudden, a foot popped out from behind him and it tripped Rebecca, making her slip and fall onto the paved ground. Double D looked behind him to see her gone.
"Enjoying the party?" His attention was directed to a person offering him a lemonade glass.
Inside
Eddy ducked into the closet and slammed it behind him. Dolly banged on the door. "Go away you crazy stalker!" He yelled. The pounding continued for a moment until it stopped. He let go of the handle and was about to peek through the crack under the door when it swung open and a flash hit his eyes. He had to sheild his eyes as a familiar voice came out and a hand with royal blue painted nails and a bit on the finger stuck out for him to take. "So... enjoy being popular yet?" Asked a mocking voice. Eddy narrowed his eyes but had to let a smile onto his face as he took the hand and it pulled him out of the closet.
