[Ed is twanging a rubber cord.]

Edd: "Ed, please? The vibration from the rubber band could interfere with the gyros of our jawbreaker surveillance satellite!"

Ed: "I have no idea what you just said, Double D. Can I wind it up now? Pleeease? Can I? Huh? Oh, come on."

Eddy: "Hang on to your neck, Orville. Double D, tell me again. I'm drooling!"

Edd: "Well Eddy, with the proper atmospheric conditions our satellite will be able to pinpoint every jawbreaker within a four-block radius of the cul-de-sac."

Eddy: [pleased] "Really?"

Ed: "Contact!"

Edd: "Oh, dear."

Eddy: "Ed, let go of that propeller!" [Ed has wound the propeller all the way up.]

Ed: "Roger, Eddy."

Nat: "No Ed wait-"'

[Ed lets go, and the propeller begins spinning.]

Edd: "Ed, no, reverse that, grab hold of the propeller!"

Ed: "In your hat, Double D." [He bites down, stopping the spinning blades.]

Eddy: "Now what?"

[The satellite starts spinning. Edd, Nat and Eddy are thrown off. Ed lets go of the propeller, and the mechanism shoots straight up, into the bright blue sky.]

Ed: "Look at it go, guys and girl!"

Nat: "Oh no."

Edd: "Oh dear, oh dear–" [resigned] "Oh well."

Eddy: [defeated] "Just once, I'd like something to go right." [The satellite collides with him.] "Hello!"

Edd: "Lucky for us, I can track its every whereabouts." [He pulls a tracker out of his pocket and runs off. Ed and Nat follow.]

Eddy: [dazed] "Wait up! That's my waffle!"

Jimmy: "Your turn, Sarah!" [Sarah leaps over him.]

Sarah: "Leapfrog!" [The tracker sails overhead.]

Jimmy: "You're so nimble, Sarah. My turn!" [When he leaps, the satellite hits him.] "Of all the darn luck. Space junk attack! Darn, my perfectly manicured nails!" [His nails can't hold, and he falls off the machine.]

Edd: "If my calculations are correct, it should land–" [a crunch is heard] "...in that tree. Damaged, fractured, and out of order."

Eddy: "Smooth move, Lumpy."

[He, Nat and Edd start for the lawn.]

Ed: [hauling them back] "First one there is a rotten egg!"

Edd: "No, wait! Please, Ed. Send an impulse to your brain and stop!" [He manages to hold Ed back, barely keeping from touching the lawn.] "Ed, are you standing on my shirt with your filthy shoes?"

Eddy: "DOGPILE!"

Edd: [grunting as he holds up Ed and Eddy] "For Pete's sake. We're not allowed on the grass!" [He collapses on the sidewalk. Nat comes over and pulls them off him.]

Eddy: "Who says?"

Edd: "Please read the sign." [He points to a "Keep Off the Grass" sign.]

Eddy: "Keep off. So what?"

Edd: "Eddy, you must observe and obey the sign. Signs are in place so that order is maintained in an otherwise uncultivated society. And I, for one, uphold these silkscreen policies!"

Nat: "Double D's right Eddy."

Eddy: [stretching his leg out over the grass] "Don't you know adults come up with this stuff just to bug us? See?" [He puts his foot down.] "I step on the grass, and nothing happens."

Edd: "Have you no moral fiber?!"

Eddy: "Be a rebel! Try it!" [He tosses Edd down.] "It's just a dumb sign." [Edd is balanced like the hypotenuse of a triangle between the sidewalk and the sign, which he clings to for support.]

Ed: "I'm smarter than a sign!" [He lifts up the edge of the turf and crawls under.] "Look at me!"

Eddy: "Go on, touch it!"

Edd: "I can't! It's not in me, Eddy! Think of the melee and–" [he realizes Eddy is standing on his back] "Excuse me, but has my shirt become a doormat for everyone's filthy shoes?"

Ed: [poking his body out of the grass] "Boing!"

Edd: "Well, I suppose technically Ed's not on the grass."

[The turf rug he ripped off comes flying at Edd and Eddy. Nat pulls them out of the way. Ed proceeds to smack his head against the dirt.]

Ed: "I'm a woodpecker!" [he resumes, then stops] "Except with dirt."

Eddy: [rubbing his hands together] "Let's find some more signs!"

[Wet cement signs are all around. Kevin stands on top of a sign, holding Jonny out. Jonny is extending Plank, and they are both reaching for a basketball mired in the middle of the cement.]

Jonny: "Plank says he's almost got it!" [The ball sinks under.]

Kevin: "Rats." [He pulls Jonny in.]

Jonny: "That coulda been us! Good thing Plank read the sign."

Eddy: "If someone told you to jump off the Empire State Building, wouldja?"

Edd: "Don't jump, Eddy, don't!" [Eddy leaps off of one of the signs into the mire.] "Oh, you're so stubborn."

Kevin: "What're you doing, dork?"

Eddy: "I'm following my own rules, Kev. If you want the ball, just get it." [He fishes the ball out, and Ed leaps from one spot of the cement to another, grabbing the ball in his teeth as he goes.]

Sarah: "Oh, you're in big trouble, Ed!"

Eddy: "Nah. Rules are for losers."

Ed: [making a cement angel] "I'm an angel, Sarah!"

Kevin: "What a couple of screwballs."

Edd: [clutching at Kevin] "Try to talk some sense into them! They're loose cannons, ready to blow!"

Kevin: "I'll give you three to let go of me." [Edd immediately does so, clinging to Nat instead. He immediately realizes this and lets go embarrassed.]

Eddy: [pulling out a cake] "Let's have some dessert before dinner and eat it with our hands!" [mouth full] "Then talk with your mouth full."

Ed: "Eddy's the man!" [He scarfs down the rest of the cake.]

Sarah: "Mom's gonna be so mad, Ed!"

Eddy: "You kids still listen to Mommy and Daddy? Too bad. I guess you won't be joining us for an after-dinner swim."

Jonny: "You can't do that, Eddy!"

Eddy: "We can do whatever we want, Jonny boy."

Jimmy: "But you'll get a cramp!"

Eddy: "That's exactly what adults want you to think."

Edd: "Okay. This has gone far enough!"

Jonny: "Can me and Plank go to bed without brushing our teeth?"

Eddy: "Let 'em rot, Jonny boy!"

Sarah: "Can I stay up late?"

Jimmy: "Can I wear shoulder pads?"

Eddy: "Knock yourself out."

Kevin: [grabbing Eddy] "You're just trying to get us in trouble, aren't cha?"

Eddy: "Help, help! Kevin's beating me up!" [Kevin drops Eddy.] "Is the fuzz on its way? I think not." [to Kevin] "See, you live by the rules. Just like Double D and Nat."

Edd: "But rules are a joy to uphold!"

Nat: "There's nothing wrong with that!"

Kevin: "Dork alert! Rules are for losers!" [A ball of wet cement plasters him just above the left ear.]

Ed: "What do I win?"

Kevin: "A five-finger sandwich, ya big–"

Ed: [tickling Kevin] "Coochie coochie coochie!"

Kevin: [laughing] "Quit it!"

[Rolf, carrying a big bale of grass on his back and pushing Wilfred in a wagon, walks down the street.]

Rolf: "Come, Wilfred, we have much to do!"

Eddy: "Hey Rolfy! All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

Rolf: "Who is this Jack? I know no Jack."

Edd: "Don't listen to him, Rolf! Eddy only wishes to eviscerate social order as we know it!"

Ed: [riding Wilfred] "Ed on a pig!"

Nat: "Ed please don't hurt him!"

Edd: [running after the pig] "Ed! You can't do that!"

Eddy: "Take a break, will ya? Relax!" [He pushes the bale off Rolf's shoulders.] "Wouldn't you rather be sloshing around in some wet cement?"

Rolf: "Why do you hinder Rolf's drudgery, three-haired Ed-boy? If my chores are not complete, I will be banished to the–" [shuddering] "–cupboard."

Eddy: "Who's gonna know? C'mon, there's a clod with your name on it." [He indicates the kids.]

Rolf: "Rolf is humbled by the cement. It makes him yearn for the life of leisure."

Ed: [playing with Wilfred] "Ha ha, what a pig."

Rolf: [joining the kids] "Give it up for Rolf, everybody!"

Edd: "Well it seems you've convinced all but two, Eddy, that rules need not apply in this cul-de-sac. Well mister, I remain an anchored ship to those rules. Terra firma, baby." [Eddy smiles evilly.] "A penny for your thoughts? Not good!"

Nat: "Oh no!"

[Eddy plunges a large cardboard box over Edd and Nat.]

Eddy: "No rules rule, Double D! Nat!"

Nat: "Eddy let us go!"

Edd: "Eddy! Help us!"

Ed: "Arf!"

Edd: "Gah! Eddy, stop!" [Eddy is mixing up the books in Edd's room.] "What in the Sam Hill are you doing? I precisely alphabetized those books for immediate reference!"

Eddy: "Alphabets are for soup." [picking a book up] "What's this? 'Joys of Rules'? Man, get a life, Double D."

Edd: "Eddy, no!" [Edd is only restrained by his hat, which is tied to a lamp. The arms of Nat's sweater is also tied to the lamp, restraining her as well. Eddy stuffs a fish in the middle of the book and slams the book shut.] "Okay, that's it! I'm gonna give you such a thrashing!"

[Edd's hat pops off of his head.]

Eddy: "Geez Louise!"

Ed: "Cool."

[Nat stares in shock.]

Edd: [nervous] "If you say one word to anyone I'll never speak to you again!"

Nat: "Eddy please stop!"

Eddy: "Stay outta this turtleneck!" [He opens the window, and holds Nat's butterfly house out.] "Or I let your caterpillars go!"

Nat: "No please they haven't grown yet!"

Ed: [Edd's skull on his head] "I am dead from the neck up."

Eddy: [tearing the covers from Edd's bed] "I'll just save it and use it for ammo when I need to, Double D."

Ed: "Eddy's always a step ahead."

Eddy: [noticing the tag] "Ooh, look at this thing. Do not remove under penalty of law."

Edd: "Eddy, don't you dare remove that!"

Eddy: "Or what?" [singsong] "I feel my hand slipping!" [He starts to tear it away.]

Edd: "No, Eddy! You can't!"

[The tag tears through completely.]

Eddy: "I'm such a bad boy!"

Nat: "Eddy I'm begging you!"

Eddy: [Opening the house] "What did I say?"

[Having had enough Nat slips out of her sweater and takes the house away from Eddy. The Eds stare in shock as she slips back in her sweater.]

Nat: [worried] "Don't ask, Don't say a thing, or I'll never forgive you!"

Edd: "You've broken me, Eddy."

Eddy: "Hmm?"

Edd: "Set me free and I'll join you in destroying everything that separates us from the primates."

Eddy: "Now we're making progress."

Ed: [holding Edd's ant farm] "Yum! Like cheese?"

Edd: "No, Ed. Progress, not–" [seeing what Ed's holding] "Process! Put them down, Ed! You leave my ants alone!" [Ed spills the farm, and Edd wraps his legs around Ed's neck.] "Five thousand two hundred and thirty-nine ants, Ed! Pick them up, pick them up!" [He begins to strangle Ed with his legs.]

Eddy: "Slow down, Double D."

Ed: [choking] "I'm sorry."

[Ed accidently bumps into Nat and she drops the house opening it and releasing all her caterpillars.]

Nat: "My caterpillars!" [She puts her arms around Ed.] "I'm begging you please pick them up!" [She ends up squeezing Ed.]

Ed: [turning blue] "I'm sorry."

[Eddy opens the door and drags Ed with him.]

Nat: [still squeezing Ed] "Ed please come back and pick them up!"

Edd: [still strangling Ed] "Where do you think you're going? Get back in here! Five thousand, two hundred and thirty–" [Ed's head slips from the headlock, and Edd and Nat shoot back inside. His ants and her caterpillars go out the door.]

[Eddy steps carefully through the cul-de-sac. All of Rolf's animals are running wild.]

Eddy: "Hi, Rolf."

Ed: [chasing a chicken] "Chickens!"

Eddy: "How's it going, Stretch?"

Rolf: [relaxing] "No more chores for Rolf. I am a lazy good-for-nothing, just like the others."

Kevin: "Say goodbye to dirty dishes!" [He shoots the dishes with a slingshot.] "Awesome, eh, Nazz?"

[Nazz takes a big swig from a bottle of soda and belches deeply in reply.]

Kevin: [amazed] "Good on ya."

Nazz: "No rules rule."

Jonny: [running nude through the cul-de-sac] "Feel the wind, Plank!"

Sarah: [on top of an ice-cream mountain] "Banana chocolate fudge!"

Jimmy: "And lemon sorbet!"

Sarah: "Meet you at the bottom!" [She slides down, guzzling ice cream all the way.]

Jimmy: [finishing his slide] "I love ice cream! Yummy!"

Eddy: "Isn't this cool, Ed? We can do whatever we want!"

Ed: "Like fly?" [He attempts this and falls on Eddy.]

Edd: "Attention please. Your attention please!" [He is wearing pantyhose on his head and standing on a fire hydrant.]

Ed: "Why's Double D wearing pantyhose on his head?"

[The cul-de-sac goes silent in order to listen to Edd.]

Edd: "I have good news for us all. I have taken the liberty of phoning all your parents!"

The Kids: "What?"

Nazz: "Oh man!"

Jonny: "You didn't!"

Kevin: "You're bluffing."

Edd: "No! Really! They're on their way home right now. No thank-you's are necessary."

Eddy: "He's flipped!"

Ed: "Am I in trouble now?"

[The cul-de-sac panics and tries to clean up the mess.]

Rolf: [gathering his animals] "Come, Wilfred! Quickly!"

Sarah: [cleaning up the mountain] "Scoop faster, Jimmy!"

Jimmy: "My tummy hurts!"

Nazz: [ants crawling on her] "Get off!"

Jonny: "I can't find my clothes!"

Edd: "No need to panic, as order will soon be restored!" [Ed pulls Edd off of his perch.]

Eddy: "Now we have to do what grown-ups tell us to again!"

Kevin: "Double Dork! You broke the number one rule: don't squeal!"

Rolf: [rushing past] "Wilfred is a very quiet pig, Kevin."

Kevin: "Hold it, Rolf." [He pulls Rolf back.] "Give me a hand here."

Rolf: [tossing his animals away] "Yes. The closet can wait!"

Jonny: [getting in line next to them] "I've got goosebumps!"

Eddy: "See, Double D just broke a rule. Like us, guys."

Edd: [not recognizing his crime of being a tattle tale] "No, I didn't–"

Eddy: [clamping Edd's mouth shut] "He's delusional. The pantyhose is too tight. His brain is squished."

[Ed, happy with this explanation, nods smilingly.]

Kevin: "I think it's time for a little order."

Rolf: "Ya ya."

[Jonny laughs menacingly as they close in on the Eds.]

[The Eds are stuck in a cage that hangs from a tree branch.]

Eddy: "I can't believe you told on us!"

Edd: "I apologize. I'm not sure what came over me. The flagrant disregard for rules must have caused me to go, uh, temporarily insane."

Ed: "Somebody's coming!"

Eddy: "Hey, over here!" [He puts out a sign saying "Help."] "Help?"

Edd: [holding a "Please Assist" sign] "Please assist!"

Ed: "Ketchup!" [He holds out a sign with the word written on it.]

Eddy: "Yoo hoo, up here!" [Rolf walks by.]

Ed: "Just a squirt?"

Rolf: [faintly] "You crazy?"

Eddy: "Can't you read?"

Edd: "Signs are meant to be read?"

Ed: "There's Jonny!"

Eddy: "Hey, up here!"

Jonny: "Listen to the clams gurgle in the bucket, Plank."

Eddy: "Help us out!"

Jonny: "Gesundheit!"

Eddy: "Be a rebel, c'mon!"

[Nat shows up in a t-shirt and scarf, holding her butterfly house.]

Eddy: "Nat finally what took you so long?"

Nat: [annoyed] "Well I WOULD have been here sooner but I had to look for my caterpillars and Double D's ants."

Edd: ''You found them all?"

Nat: "Yes ALL of them."

Eddy: "Yeah whatever can you let us out?"

Nat: "Fine."

[Nat takes of her headband and uses it's edge to pick the lock. The cage unlocks and she pulls the Eds out.]

Edd: "How is that possible?"

Nat: "Cartoon logic."

Hi it's me the author first I want to say thank you for over 1,000 reads it's truly incredible and it means the world to me. Second I unfortunately have less time to write because I have a Youtube channel now (My name is Rosalicious in case your wondering) and I want to dedicate my time to making videos for it so chapters may take longer to come out since I only have time at night. If your annoyed I'm sorry if not I thank you for understanding.
