My little cousin is so adorable! I just hate it when I have to change her... thank god its nothing TOO bad... ^^; Also know that I try to update as much as i can. I look at this in the morning and in the afternoon so don't think I'm leaving you people hanging. Patience is a virtue, remember that. =.=

She pulled him out of the closet and he could see that she was in a white party dress. "We've gotta find the others and get out of here." He said, also noticing that Dolly was shoved somewhere among a huge crowd of jocks and she couldn't get out.

Outside

Alex rode on Napoleon, the pony she found in a pile of presents. Minnie was right now napping in the pool, faced up. She had a big punch ladle in her hand. Ed rode behind, with the reigns in his hand. He flicked them and the pony went wild and crashed right through the glass door and into a jock. Alice and Eddy looked at them like they were insane. Which, they probably were. "VIVA LA VIDA!" Screamed Alex.

"CHICKENS!" Ed screamed. Alyssa and Double D looked through the broken glass.

"We are so screwed..." Alyssa muttered.

"Please no bad language. But yes, we're in very deep trouble." Double D answered. Dolly finally pushed through the crowd.

"YOU ARE GOING TO PAY!" She screamed. Ed slapped Napoleon's behind and he ran off, taking Alex and Ed with him. The pony jumped the fence and they were clear heading back for the house until the horse stopped all of a sudden at the farm on the way, sending them both flying.

Back at the party

The four were running for their lives as Dolly, Minnie, Rebecca, and the entire party came after them. "GET BACK HERE YOU FUCKERS!" Screamed Dolly. That only encouraged them to run faster. Finally they passed a small shed and Eddy pulled all three of them into it. Alice fell onto something soft.

"OW!" She turned to see that she was sitting on Dolly's little sister, Dylan. She got up.

"Oh, uh, sorry!" Alice apologized.

"It's fine... just get... wait... why the hell are you two here? It's not like sis to just invite her enemies..." He said, thinking.

"SEARCH EVERYWHERE FOR THEM! MAKE SURE THOSE PRICKS DON'T LEAVE!" Screamed Dolly outside. Dylan's eyes widened.

"You... you're being hunted down!" Dylan said, but found it hard to move. Eddy got in front of him.

"So what if we are? What are you gonna do about it?" Eddy said, making a fist. He faked a punch but accidentally hit and oil can, and it toppled and spilled all over Dylan's pink suit. Everyone but Eddy gasped. Dylan was wide eyed as the oil dripped. He looked up at them and opened his mouth. Everyone braced themselves for Dylan to yell for his sister.

"There's a door in the fence across from here. Here's the key for it." Dylan dug through his pocket and produced a small key.

"But... why? Eddy got your suit dirty." Double D said, catching the key.

"Exactly. Now you better get going, the yard is clear for a little bit." Dylan said, peeking outside. Everyone ran out. Alyssa patted his shoulder on the way out.

"Thanks man, we owe you one." Dylan nodded and watched as they left the yard.Those guys aren't half as bad as Dolly made them out to be. Dylan thought.

Outside

They ran off, people not seeing them. Alice jumped into the front seat and started the car. The others began to pile in. "C'mon c'mon c'mon you guys!" Alice said.

"THEY'RE OUT HERE!" Yelled someone.

"SHIT! FLOOR IT!" Eddy yelled. Alice did. Alyssa and Double D held onto the handle's of the car for dear life as Eddy and Alice were in front. As tey drove off, one kid came out from under the car. Rebecca came to the kid and handed him a 20.

"Did you get it?"

"Yep." REbecca smiled.

Car

They all breathed easier now as Alice loosened her footing on the gas. A stoplight was about to come but when she pressed the brake... it didn't work. "Oh why... why does this always have to happen to me?" Alice muttered.

"What?" Double D asked.

"Oh nothing. I suggest you guys hold onto something though." Without questioning the reason, the two in the back gripped the handles tight and each others hands tighter. Alyssa began to say the 'Our Father' to herself and Double D was sweating bullets.

"What are you talking about?" Eddy questioned.

"The brakes won't work..." Said Alice, stomping on it but it wouldn't stop the car. Everyone began to scream. Eddy quickly took the wheel and swerved them through five lights before finally they crashed into a old apartment complex. People began to crowd. They all piled out and Alice was given a rather large ticket and people yelled at them. Eddy shrunk and Double D tried to talk to them rationally, but they wouldn't listen.

The next day

Bills. That's all there was on the table were bills. Double D stacked all the papers into two neat piles and there was so much they owed, even if they took all their money in the entire house and their college funds it still wouldn't be enough. "...This is why I told you Dolly wasn't the kind of person you should be around... EDDY." Alice hissed. Eddy was staring at the two large stacks with wide eyes, then he passed out. Never before had he ever been in this much debt.

"Well, we could sell some of our things, but that wouldn't help much." Alyssa said.

"It will lessen our dues though. I'll go look for some things we could sell. Come on Eddy." Double D left with a zombified Eddy. Alyssa was about to follow when she saw that Alice was still at the table, but now staring at the phone. Alice was silent and seemed to be contemplating something.

"... Maybe I should call my parents... " She said. Alyssa went up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Let's not get too hasty here. We'll follow along with what Double D is planning, and if we don't get enough to pay for at least half of our debt... we'll keep coming up with stuff! Nothing is worth shaming you!" Alice laughed and removed her friend's hand from her shoulder.

"You're a good friend Al."

"Damn right!"

Three days later

Eddy held the stack of dollars proudly until Alyssa took them away. Ed was using the stack of already paid for bills and debt to make a paper mache boat. Right now he had half of the lower portion finished. Double D looked at what was left of the bills and there wasn't much of a dent in the piles. Alice worried again. Alex drove away the greedy tax collectors that had already gotten their money and Alyssa was already feeling the wrinkles of worry on her forehead. "So this is what it's like to be old..." Eddy muttered, feeling the money slip away again. Instead something hard and round filled his hand. He looked up to see a huge jawbreaker. Not as huge as the ones back home, but this must have been the biggest ones he's seen in the real world.

"For all your hard work for once." Alyssa said. Eddy quickly shoved his in his mouth as did Double D and Ed.

"This is... too kind of you girls!" Double D said, his knees practically melting away at the exquisite flavor that was a jawbreaker. ED was just drooling and sucking away at the jawbreaker obnoxiously. Alex and Alyssa popped in one into their mouths.

"I'll be right back..." Alice said worriedly, then left. The guys didn't even notice and sucked away.

The next day

For some reason, both the bills and Alice was gone. Ed sniffed for them but it seems they had both left the house. "THE MONEY'S GONE!" Eddy yelled, holding the money jar they kept the tax money in. It was empty, not a single penny in there. Alex looked outside to see the car gone as well.

"THAT SON OF A BITCH!" Alex yelled. She and Eddy began to go wild and stomped around the room angrily.

"Where do you think she went?" Asked Double D.

"Where is the Captian Crunch?" Asked Ed.

"I have a pretty good idea where..." Alyssa said, not very happy and then pointing to the cabinets. Ed dug through them and pulled out some Captian Crunch cereal. He ate the entire box in one bite then took the milk and chugged it all down. He burped loudly, making puffs and milk fly in the air.

Later

All five of them, after a very long time of exhausting walking, stopping at the donut shop for some reason, and walking more, blanched when they saw where Alice used to live. It was a large open mansion on a hill, the gate had a big swirly H in the middle and there was a guard posted at the front. "Man I always hated visiting..." Muttered Alex.

"So did I... did you know the guard nearly shot me for returning Alice's bag once?" Alyssa said, then pressed the button.

"What do you want?" Asked the guard.

"It's Alyssa Clarise. Friend of Alice."

"Do you have my donuts?" The guard sounded hopeful.

"Yes I did. Jelly filled and powdered, just how you like it." The gate opened and she dropped the bag of donuts into the guard's meaty hand.

"Is that how you got past him all this time?" Alex asked. Alyssa just smirked.

"Bribery is no good. Criminals could get past him if he's bribed so easily!" Double D warned. The girls along with the other two Eds shushed him. A piano played beautifully inside.

"Well done child. Now go into your room, tommorrow is a very big day for you." Said someone inside. Sounded like a man.

"Yes Father." That sounded like Alice. Eddy looked through the window and his eyes shrunk and you could see he was struggling not to laugh.

"What is it- oh my word..." Double D looked into the window and saw what Eddy was seeing. Alice was dressed in a brown sweatshirt with a turtleneck, a purple light vest over it. She had on designer brown pants with it and her hair was tied into a tight bun with designer boots on her feet. She had on a lot of make up and wore pearls around her neck and ears. She seemed to be the complete different of Alice. She went away to somewhere in the house in silence and her dad went to work on his laptop and bluetooth.

"This is even worse than I thought..." Alyssa said.

"I know right. Who knew her mom would make her wear all that crap!" Eddy said with a snicker.

"No... you don't understand."

"What do you mean?" Double D asked.

"Wait... you don't mean she actually DID IT!" Alex had Alyssa's hand slapped over her mouth.

"SHHH! Yes! She did it." Alyssa hissed.

"What? What am I missing here?" Eddy asked, angry he didn't know what was going on.

"Well... you know that Alice's family is fabulously wealthy right?" Asked Alex.

"Yeah! they have a fountain with a kid peeing in it! I tried to beat him, but he won." Ed said. Alex and everyone else was speechless for a second.

"Uh... ew? Well, before Alice lived with us, she said she didn't need any help from her parents. Because she knew eventually they'd be asking for something in return." Alex continued. "Alice told her parents that if she ever called for help in any financal need, she'd do whatever they say."

"And they said... if she ever needed their help, they'd only require one thing." Alyssa said, then facepalmed when eddy and Ed began to get curious and crowded.

"And that would be?" Eddy asked.

"To date one of my parent's choices for a spouse." Said Alice, standing right behind them. The Eds were speechless and surprised.
