"Thank you very much, sir, you won't be disappointed." Double D assured his new boss with a nervous, slightly twitching smile. He had been able to convince the man to give both him and Eddy a job. They'd mostly just be sweeping the movie theaters out between the ending and beginning of the movies. Double D was certain that he wouldn't disappoint... but he wasn't so sure about his friend.

Double D excused himself from his boss' company and headed back towards the cul-de-sac to talk to Eddy about their new responsibilities. On the walk, he starting feeling a bit guilty for not vouching for Ed too but Double D didn't feel Ed was ready for such a bit responsibility. Ed did like movies so maybe Double D would help him apply for a job at the movie rental shop.

"Eddy!" Double D called to his friend, knocking on the boy's door. "I have wonderful news!"

Eddy swung the door open with a large yawn, his hair stuck up in different directions. "Sockhead, its Saturday... I'm not due until 2 o' clock."

Double D gave his friend a confused look and glanced at the watch on his wrist. "It's one in the afternoon Eddy. It's not healthy to get too much sleep."

Despite his reluctance, Eddy let Double D into the house.

"Anyway, I was able to convince Mister Wethermeister of Peach Creek Theatres to give us jobs. It was very generous of him." Double D explained. "We're working in the evenings on Saturday and Sunday. We're starting tomorrow. Here." He dug into his bag to retrieve a Peach Creek Theatres vest that was a very unattractive color that was neither orange nor peach.

"What the hell." Eddy frowned and rubbed the crust from his eyes at Double D dropped the vest in his lap.

"There's no official uniform, just wear black and that." Double D point at the vest. "Please do your best. I'm not going to back up any of your shenanigans or schemes..." He let out a deep breath before pulling on a grin. "Isn't this exhilarating, Eddy? Our first job!"

"Oh, you have no idea, Sockhead..." Eddy rolled his eyes. "I'm ecstatic."

The sky nope

Birthdays are stupid no

He doesn't know how much I NO

"Dammit!" Marie shouted and threw her notebook across the trailer. The pages flutters and slapped against the wall and then onto the floor. "May!"

"What?!" May screeched from the bathroom. She was sitting on the counter, basically in the sink as she pouted, her buck teeth poking her bottom lip a little and sniffled at her red reflection. She was rubbing aloe vera all over. "I hate you..." May whined.

"I hate you too." Marie got up and went over to bathroom, poked her head in, looking at her sister. "Hey. What do you think about?"

May didn't look at Marie, just tenderly touched her red skin. Marie's question basically went in one ear and out the other.

"Did you hear me?" Marie jabbed a finger into May's sunburnt shoulder.

"OW!" May screamed. "I heard ya! Geez... I don't know. I don't know." She answered. "What do ya think I think?"

"Honestly?" Marie blinked at her sister, bored. "I think that you think you don't have to think about anything."

"What's that supposed mean?" May frowned.

"I don't know." Marie rolled her eyes. "Why don't you think about it?" Marie whirled around only to almost bump right into Lee.

Lee had her hair in curlers at the moment. "Did you finish your poem thing?"

"No." Marie huffed.

"How about we all go to the movies tomorrow?" Lee suggested. "You might just need a break or something."

"I'm not going out like this!" May cried.

"Then you can stay home!" Lee plopped down on the couch to apply a fresh coat of red nail polish to her finger and toe nails.

"Fine!"

Sunday evening...

Eddy was leaning against his lobby dustpan watching Double D sweep the aisles between the seats in record time. The theater was a bit dim but it was easy to see everything. Double D was such a clean freak as well as a control freak all Eddy had to do was stand back.

"Did you see that cute girl working at the ticket booth?" Eddy asked. "Do you think I could score her number?"

"Diane?" Double D said, concentrating on getting the popcorn that was stuck behind the leg of one of the chairs. "She's a nice girl."

"So could I get her number or what?" Eddy huffed.

"Maybe." Double D replied and then stood at the top most stair to look at his work. Nothing was sparkling clean but it was good enough since moviegoers were to file in within the next minute. "Let's go."

They exited the theater, Eddy rolling a trashcan out behind him and then left it to the side of the door. "So when are we going to get those perks? You know, free movies? Free popcorn?"

"We don't get free popcorn, Eddy." Double D scoffed, lightly.

"Then movies. Why can't we just sit in one, since we'll clean 'em out afterward anyway?"

"I don't think that's allowed, Eddy." Double D shook his head.

"Just one!" Eddy grinned and nudged his friend. "Come on! Just one..."

Double D glanced at Eddy. "No."

Eddy groaned and grumbled. "Fine... I'm going to get popcorn."

"We don't get free-"

"I know! I'll pay for it, a small popcorn." Eddy said.

Double D started sweeping up stray pieces of popcorn in the hall, waiting for Eddy to come back. Once Eddy came back, he came back running and without popcorn.

"Sockhead!" Eddy hissed, quietly. "The Kankers are here!"

"They are?" Double D rose an eyebrow in interest.

Eddy grimaced in disgust at his friend. "Don't look like that."

"Like what?"

"Like you want to see them!"

"I don't." Double D tried to say.

Eddy just waved it off. "Anyway, I am not going to let them see us." He grabbed his friend's arm and pulled him into a movie that had just started, the theater was dark already, the only light coming from the screen and then little line of lights along the stairs. He pushed Double D down into a seat in the front section and Double D started to protest but was smothered into silence by the glares from the moviegoers around them.

Double D started to relax into his seat just a little bit when he heard Eddy curse, quietly. He looked over his shoulder to see Marie and Lee walk into the small theater. Double D turned back around in his seat, sucking in a deep breath as he turned his gaze to the screen. He felt nerves twisting up in his gut for some reason.

As luck would have it, Marie and Lee chose to take the seat right in front them. Eddy had to put a hand over his mouth to stifle noises of protest and detest. He was practically holding his breath, trying not to breath in their air or something...

Marie and Lee sat there eating popcorn and slurping their drinks, noisily. They put their heads together every once in a while to whisper something to one another. Even though they were just trying to enjoy like everyone else, Eddy looked like he wanted to kick the backs of their chairs.

Double D frowned at his friend and shifted in his chair only to freeze. He was sitting in one the really creaky chairs and this one happened to be especially loud. He pressed his lips together in a thin line and looked up only to meet one beautiful hazel eye. He quickly looked away with an awkward cough.

Lee grinned, looking at the two Ed boys. She easily climbed over the back of the chair and plopped down beside Eddy. "Hey, baby." She whispered to him and he just grunted and refused to look at the girl.

Marie sighed and also climbed over her chair to sit down beside Double D. "Hi."

Double D put on a small smile. "Hi."

They watched the movie but Double D was very aware of the fact that his and Marie's hands were very close. Their pinkies where almost touching. He felt very warm and he was embarrassed to realize that he wanted to hold her hand...
