Enjoy, I do not own Cartoon City's Denizens, they belong to their respective owners.
Chapter twenty-six: Proud Family Dinner~
"Dinner." Edd's voice was heard as we go to the Proud Family's house. "Often times it's a good thing if you're surrounded with the ones you love. However, it can be a nightmare." We go inside to see Eddy wearing a black wool mask getting thrown into the TV with a huge crash. He falls on the ground holding his side as he looks up to see an old African American woman glaring at him. She had white puffy hair and red frame glasses, wearing a pink dress-like outfit and pink slippers.
"You done messed up now boy! I'm going to show you why you don't mess with Suga Mama!" Suga Mama glares as she holds her cane up.
"Someone, help me! I don't want to die!" Eddy shouts holding his hands up.
"Little busy here!" Siri groans in the corner, her black panties over her head.
"I got ya Eddy!" Ben runs out of the kitchen slamming on the watch turning into Blitzwolfer and grabs Suga Mama. "Let's all calm down- "He stops as she pulls him over her shoulder and throws him on Eddy, the short con artist groaning as Ben's backside was in his face.
"This is not the last thing I wanted to see!" The short con man groans.
"This is all your fault!" Penny glares at a skinny African American man, his hair shaved, his eyes a light brown. He was wearing a light blue shirt with red tie, wearing blue jeans with blue suspenders and blue shoes.
"It's your fault for dating a hoodlum!" He glares at her.
"I didn't think it would get this out of hand." Jenny walks in holding two babies. One was a girl with a few strands of hair wearing a pink T-shirt and diaper. The other was a boy with black afro covering his eyes wearing an orange T-shirt and diaper. Suddenly, a loud banging was heard at the doors.
"Police! Officer Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps here about a noise complaint!" A female voice was heard from the front door as time paused. Edd walks into view as he looks around and sighs shaking his head before looking to the reader.
"It's funny how one dinner can turn into chaos." Edd comments as he goes into the kitchen. We see a woman pulling a burning roast out of the oven, frozen like the rest. She had dark brown hair done into a bob cut, her eyes a light brown, wearing a lime green blouse and brown khakis and brown dress shoes. "The dinner was supposed to be beef wellington, but…chances are we will order pizza if this is sorted out right. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I should bring us back to the beginning."
~Eight hours earlier~
"This all started at Pop's Moon Palace Diner after it was rebuilt. Amazing what construction drones can do." Edd narrated as we go to the Diner. "It was burnt to the ground completely and yet it was rebuilt in less than a day. Anyway, the gang were talking as I was lost in thought."
"I'm telling you, Kouta could kick Sento's ass!" Ben glared as the group sans Edd was having a serious debate in one of the booths next to the window.
"And I say dragon crap to that! Sento, could beat Kouta down to the cellular level with genius form!" Rex glared.
"Kouta is a freaking god! And sent a bunch of monsters to another planet!" Eddy shouts in anger pounding his fist on the table.
"Because the power was given to him! Sento worked for everything he has!" Ed glares.
"Okay, how did we get from talking about what to eat, to talking about Kamen Rider apparently?" Max questioned.
"That's our group's chemistry." Jenny smirks. "Also, you idiots are all wrong, it's obvious that Ryuga would kick both their asses, and take both their ladies. Because he can reach black hole levels cause of Evolt's DNA."
"Jenny, I love you, but shut your face before I slap your mouth off it." Scamp glares.
"...How would that even work?" Max questioned.
"Oh, so you think just because you know everything about Kamen Rider, its lore, all the movies and specials that makes you an expert- and I am gonna stop because I realize I'm just making your point for you." Flame haired blonde pouts.
"Yo, Sockhead, you're a nerd for this kind of math, who would win, Sento, Kouta or Ryuga?" Ben questioned as Edd looks up.
"Huh? Oh, uh whichever." He answered indiscriminately, causing the group to look at him confused.
"Doubles, what's wrong?" Scamp asked.
"Penny's parents found out about Penny and I's dating in secret and now they want to meet me at dinner tonight." He sighs as Ed, Scamp, Ben and Eddy look shocked at that. "I just have the strangest feeling when all's said and done, I'm going to be single again. But I'm trying to figure out how tonight will be saved."
"Wow…tough man. Welp, I need to pee." Max walks off as Ed and Scamp nodded to each other. The German Shepard makes his way into the bathroom, which was pitch-black, when the light turned on revealing Ed and Scamp standing there, startling the canine. "Jesus Christ! What are you- "The two pull him into the bathroom as the terrier locks the door.
"Max, we're going to need your help to make sure this date goes off without a hitch." Scamp began. "You see it's our fault Penny's parents found out. Well, Penny's grandparent anyway."
"Wait what?" The brown canine questioned.
"See, Scamp and I were in a Boy Scouts troop when we were young, and we learned those skills hard." Ed informs. "So, we helped Suga Mama and her boyfriend Papi cross the street."
Flashback~
"Don't worry, we'll help you across the street." Scamp smiles as he was carrying Suga Mama bridal style. Ed was carrying an old man with pale skin and green hair, wearing a pinstripe suit.
"My, such nice young gentlemen you are. Ya know, my Grandbaby Penny would love to date one of you nice two." Suga Mama pinches Scamp's right cheek.
"Actually I'm dating someone, and so is Penny with Double D- "Scamp closes his mouth as he sets her on the other side of the crosswalk. "Ed bolt!" Ed drops the old man on the ground and runs off with Scamp.
Flashback's end~
"You revealed it? I kind of pictured Ed revealing it." Max comments. "Anyway, what's the plan Scamp?"
"We're going to make Double D look like an angel." Ed smiles.
"So, a good person?" The German Shepard inquired.
"No, he's already a good person. We're going to make Double D an actual angel, without killing him of course." The terrier smiles.
"Oh god." The second canine facepalms at the idea. Meanwhile with the others, we see Ben's eyes darting back and forth and he pulls out his phone.
"Oh no, Runt ate my home phone again. I better go. Rex, you're going to help me." Ben slams on his Omnitrix turning into Fasttrack and picking the technopath up bridal style.
"Wait what-"
"See ya!" He speeds off before he could get an answer as Eddy looks around and pulls his phone out.
"Oh no, I'm meeting with Siri soon. Jenny come on; I need a second set of arms for this job." He grabs Jenny's wrist.
"What? But I haven't even ordered lunch yet!" The fiery blonde questioned, only for Eddy to let out his Charizard who picks her up and slings her over his shoulder.
"We'll get lunch on the way there!" He shouts as he runs out with the two, leaving Edd alone.
"I guess I'm the only one who wasn't in a rush for their lunch break." The gray-haired genius picks up the menu and looks it over as we go to Ben running into Bravo Condos and into his apartment.
"Ben, I am not helping you sift through dog crap for a pointless device that was made obsolete by smart phones." Rex glares getting out of the alien shapeshifter's arms.
"No, its my fault that Penny's parents know about their dating." Ben revealed. "Well, Penny's mom."
"What?" The Latino hero questioned.
Flashback~
Ben was rubbing Rita's back as they set in a Veterinarian's office as the woman pulling the beef wellington out of the oven walks in. She was wearing a white doctor's coat over her outfit holding a clipboard.
"Well, so far Rita's in perfect health, but I thought you said Runt was coming too." The woman questioned.
"Well Trudy, Runt's not good with vets especially after one tried to steal his brain." Ben informed. "Long story short, just give me the okay for both pets, I can tell Runt's okay."
"I can't do that Ben, we'll have to schedule another appointment." Trudy wrote it down on the clipboard's form.
"No, that means I'm literally paying double the co-pay for both pets." The brunette hero groans.
"Well maybe next time you-"
"How about when I bring Runt here for the second appointment, you'll not charge me the co-pay and I tell you a secret Penny is keeping from you." Ben offered.
Flashback's end~
"You dick! You sold your friend out for free Co-Pay?" Rex glares as Rita walks by.
"I said the same thing." The gray cat smirks.
"Oh, I'm sorry for keeping you healthy with my money." Ben glares at the feline who sticks her tongue out at him. "So, Rex, will you help me with this? I have a plan and I-"
"Will fail horribly, whenever you have a plan for relationships its always bad. Like going back in time before you had the conversation with Kai Green in the future." Rex declared walking out the front door. "I'm out, and you should stay out of Double D's love life." He closes the door as the omnitrix hero looks to Rita and Runt, grinning like a mad man. As he schemed, we see Eddy running into the Milk Bar Condos' lobby with Jenny in the Charizard's arms.
"Any particular reason you kidnapped me and brought me to the place that one of my exes dumped me in?" Jenny asked as Siri walks over wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans. "Hey Siri."
"Did you tell her what you did?" Siri asked the short con artist who glares.
"What did you do now Eddy? Scammed one of the cartoon devils?" The fiery blonde guessed in annoyance.
"I'm the reason Penny's dad knows about their dating." Eddy admits. "But its mostly Siri's fault."
"How is this my fault!?" The clouded leopard questioned.
"You kept getting the wrong Oscar! Oscar the grouch, Oscar the fish from that fish show. And let us not forget Oscar the elephant from Summer Camp Island." He listed off as the leopard pouts.
"It's your own damn fault for not giving me a photo of who Oscar looks like! There's a dozen toons named Oscar! And I don't regret bringing Oscar the elephant." She holds up her wrist showing a friendship bracelet. "He didn't give me any crap and gave me this nice friendship bracelet. What do you give me?!"
"Food, shelter, freaking money?!" He argued in annoyance. "I'm not having this argument again. Anyway, FireButt I need your help to make sure this dinner date goes smoothly." He looks to the blonde who smirks.
"You know my price; five-hundred dollars and you buy me two expensive video games." Jenny grins.
"Fine, get Dukey and get a burglar mask. I have the best plan that'll show Penny's dad that Double D is a damn good boyfriend." The con artist grins. "Here's the plan." As he begins to explain.
"I'm going to fast forward to when I arrived at the house." Edd narrates.
~Seven hours later~
Edd pulls up on his scooter wearing a red T-shirt with white long sleeve undershirt and blue jeans with black tennis shoes. His hands were wrapped in bandages as he goes to the front door and rings the doorbell. The door opens revealing the tall skinny man from earlier as the genius smiles nervously.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Proud- "He stops as the door was slammed in his face. 'That actually went a lot better than I expected.' He thought to himself. Suddenly shouting was heard on the other side, before the door opened showing Trudy holding the man by the ear.
"Say it, Oscar." Trudy pinches his ear.
"Welcome to our home, won't you come in-ow you're squeezing too hard!" The man winced.
"Thanks." The timid genius walks past them as Oscar shuts the door with a pout. As he walks in, he sees Penny coming down the stairs. "Penny, it's so good to see you." He smiles and was about to hug her, only to stop seeing Oscar's glare and merely shakes the teenage girl's hand.
"It's good to see you too Double D." Penny smiles pulling him into a hug, causing her father to glare.
"So, you the boy who's dating my grand baby?" Suga Mama walks up to the two as they break their hug. She looks him over walking around him. "Stand up straight boy!" She smacks his butt causing him to stand up straight at attention. "Hmmm." She feels his stomach. "Got a hidden six-pack under there." She then starts to feel his arms causing him to wince. "Strong arms. Tell me Double D, if someone disrespected Penny what would you do?"
"Well, it depends on what Penny thinks since it's her opinion, but I'd still be angry about it until I heard Penny's thoughts on the matter." Edd answered.
"Now he's a keeper, I approve." She smiles as the two blushes at her comment.
"Suga Mama?!" Penny blushes.
"What, it's the truth." The old woman smirks. "Heck, if I was a few years younger and I hadn't met Papi I'd date him."
"Mama!" Oscar blushes. As they argued, we see Scamp, Max and Ed watching from the bushes.
"Okay, how exactly are we going to give Double D wings from the bushes?" Max questioned as the terrier holds up a blue wand with a gold coil around it.
"I got this wand from Sabrina's magic shop. It's the Whenever-Wings wand, it has the power to bestow wings on anyone." Scamp smiles. "I'll need a clear shot, but I can't get one now with them crowding over Double D."
"We'll get our chance." Ed smiles petting the terrier's head as we go back inside.
"Dinner will be ready in a few minutes. We're having Beef Wellington." Trudy informs as she goes into the kitchen as Oscar was eyeing Edd from afar.
"Hats off indoors boy." The skinny man glares.
"I apologize, but could you be so kind as to- "Edd stops as the man snatches the hat off his head, revealing he had a blonde spot in the center of his hair. Everyone looks shocked at what was under the gray-haired teen's blonde spot.
"Huh. So that's what's under his hat." Max mutters outside.
"What the heck is going on with your hair?" Oscar blinked as he held onto the teen's hat.
"My biological parents disliked my blonde hair; they saw it as a sign of a slacker." Edd informs. "So, they forced me to bleach it back when I was a kid." The three women in Oscar's life glared at him with daggers.
"Can you excuse us for a moment?" Trudy smiled, as she pulled the skinny father by the ear and carried him off into the kitchen. As she did, the genius felt something pull at his pants leg and looks down to see the two infants.
"I see these two haven't forgotten me." He smiles picking the two babies up, wincing only slightly. "BeBe." He looks to the afro one. "And sweet little CeCe." He smiles at the girl infant.
"You obviously never had to change them." Penny jessed as we go outside the kitchen window to see Ben looking inside with Rita and Runt behind him. He grins as he holds the omnitrix and starts to select an alien form. He then slams on the omnitrix as he was bathe in a green glow. A few minutes later, we see Penny and Edd sitting on the couch as they watched television with Suga Mama who was sound asleep. Spats crawled onto Penny's lap and nuzzled against her lap.
"Spats seems to be doing well." The gray-haired genius noted as the African American girl chuckles.
"Yeah, he's been a little high strung lately, but I think he's finally starting to unwind." She smiles reaching down and scratching the squirrel/cat experiment's head making him purr more.
"That's good to hear." Edd smiled before Oscar came back into the room, rubbing his ear as he cleared his throat getting the duo's attention.
"Eddward, I apologize I was a little out of line there." He informed as the genius smiled a bit.
"It's quite alright Mr. Proud, I understand." He smiles before he felt his hat being placed back on his head as he glanced up at Trudy.
"I'm sorry your parents put you threw that Doubles, I can promise you no one here thinks you're a slacker." She smiled as he smiled back until he noticed her eyes were green.
'Wait Doubles, green eyes? Oh god no…' He thought in annoyance, before 'Trudy' was about to sit down.
"Ya know, I've heard Double D works at DexLabs as a teacher and an inventor as well as being the brother to Dexter himself." Trudy declared with a grin.
"Really?" Oscar questioned.
"Um…I think I'd like to see how the Beef Wellington's doing, don't you Trudy?" Edd grins his left eye twitching.
"Oh, I think it's- "Trudy stops as the gray-haired genius glares and mouths something to her causing her to stand up. "Okay, let's go." The two walks into the kitchen as Edd checked on the Beef Wellington to see it was still cooking before looking to her.
"Ben, why are you possessing Trudy?!" He questioned in a hush whisper at her.
"It's not my fault, I was aiming for Oscar." Ben's voice came out of Trudy's mouth. "But this is perfect, for my plan can be used to the fullest. Every man falls to the whims of a woman, and this way I can put in a good word for you while enjoying looking fine."
"Ben, please for the love of god leave!" Edd glares. "I'm already tense enough as it is, I don't need you using Trudy's body like a meat puppet!"
"You worry too much. Besides, tell me you never pictured of entering a woman like I can." The omnitrix hero comments as his friend blushes.
"Ben, sometimes I ponder if the omnitrix messes with your sanity when you transform." The stressed genius facepalmed at the thought.
"Relax dude, what could possibly go wrong?" Ben smiled when suddenly the door was kicked open.
"Alright, nobody moves or else you want to see the river Styx!" Eddy's voice bellowed as the two looked out the kitchen. They see Eddy dressed in a black ski mask, wearing a black turtleneck sweater under his yellow coat. Standing behind him was Jenny, Siri and Dukey wearing turtlenecks and matching ski-masks. They were holding Tommy guns while Eddy was holding a hand pistol. "This is a robbery, we're stealing all your shit, unless a smart badass can stop us!"
"What do you think you're do- "Oscar stops as the short con artist slaps him over the side of the couch. As he fell, he landed on Spats tail, causing the experiment to shriek as he fires two blasts at Penny and her father on accident. The experiment falls off the girl's lap and lands on the remote on the ground turning the TV off, causing Suga Mama to wake up.
"That's a lesson to anyone except the aforementioned badass." Eddy declared.
"Dude, I don't think Double D's here, we might be early." Jenny whispered.
"Impossible, we saw his- "He was cut off as the elderly woman drop kicks him into the kitchen.
"Your badass is here!" Suga Mama glares as she picks her cane up.
"Please, you think I'm afraid of an old lady- "Eddy stops as she smacks him in the mouth with her cane knocking out one of his teeth. "OWW! What the hell?!" She then hooks her cane's curved handle around his ankle and pulled sending him to the ground. She grabs his ankle and throws him into the trash causing it to burst onto the floor.
"Looks like I'm about to take out the white trash!" She cracks her knuckles.
"Uh someone help! I'm about to be beat up by an old lady!" The scam artist called for help as Siri runs into the kitchen. She throws a punch at Suga Mama only for the old woman to move out of the way in time and puts the feline into a headlock.
"Let me tell ya something boy, you ain't dealing with no ordinary old lady. I'm Suga freaking Mama!" She declared as she holds the feline's neck with one arm and uses her free hand to reach down into the cat's pants. "And this is what's going to happen!" She yanks out a black thong out of the feline's pants causing her to mew in shock as she was put into an atomic wedgie.
"Don't worry Siri I'll save you!" He throws an empty soda can at Suga Mama's face, causing her to let go.
"Oh, so you want to have what your friend is having?!" The old woman grabs him by the long coat and tosses him through the kitchen hitting a wall, causing him to groan weakly.
"Dukey, what are you standing around for? Help him or we don't get paid!" Jenny pushes the brown dog into the fierce African American. Dukey smiles nervously as he prayed to black out after the first punch. Edd and Ben watch in horror as the canine was viciously beat up.
"Should we help them?" Ben whispered as he looks himself over enjoying Trudy's body.
"I want to say yes, but I honestly think even if they didn't deserve it, nothing can stop Suga Mama now." Edd declared. "I just hope Penny and Oscar are-"
"This is your fault ya know!" Oscar glares.
"How is this my fault?!" Penny glares back.
"If you hadn't dated behind my back, we wouldn't have this dinner date thing and we wouldn't be robbed at the moment!" He argued.
"Oh, so I somehow orchestrated this entire night, just so I could have our home invaded by crooks?!" She questioned in anger.
"I've told you before, the only time you can date, is when you're married!" He declared.
"That doesn't make any sense!" She glares.
'Welp, I need to protect myself when Suga Mama's pounding the guys and Siri.' Jenny thought to herself and picked up BeBe and CeCe. 'She'd never hit me while I'm holding her grandchildren.' We go back to Suga Mama who tied up Dukey in his tail as Eddy tried to sneak out. Suddenly, he was grabbed by his hood and was soon lifted over the old woman's head. She throws him through the living room as he hits the TV hard falling on the ground.
"Hey, do you smell something burning?" Ben asked.
"The dinner!" Edd shouts as Suga Mama runs into the living room.
"Uh, oh no, Eddy's going to die if we don't stop her." The omnitrix hero flies out of Trudy's body, showing his form was a whiteish green specter/like alien with one eye. It had shackles on its arms, neck, and waist, with chains hooked to the omnitrix core. He times out as Trudy groans holding her head, she sniffs the air and sees the oven spouting smoke.
"You done messed up now boy! I'm going to show you why you don't mess with Suga Mama!" Suga Mama glares as she holds her cane up.
"Someone help me! I don't want to die!" Eddy shouts holding his hands up.
"Little busy here!" Siri groans in the corner, her black thong over her head.
"I got ya Eddy!" Ben runs out of the kitchen slamming on the watch turning into Blitzwolfer and grabs Suga Mama. "Let's all calm down- "He stops as she pulls him over her shoulder and throws him on Eddy, the short con artist groaning as Ben's backside was in his face.
"This is not the last thing I wanted to see!" The short con man groans.
"This is all your fault!" Penny argued with her father.
"We're all caught up now…" Time stops as Double D walks into view. "And we're not even done yet. I'll fast forward to the cops entering."
A red fox and gray rabbit run in, wearing blue and gray police uniforms holding two tasers as everyone looks to them. "We've got a noise complaint and heard someone shouting like their lives were on the line." The fox informed.
"Here's the burglars Officer Nick!" Suga Mama holds up Ben and Eddy as Nick sighs as the rabbit goes over to the con artist and removes his ski-mask.
"Eddy McGee!" Everyone questioned.
"Wait, why am I saying that, I knew that." Jenny mutters under her breathe as the fox handcuffed the scam artist.
"Ya see! Double D's best friend is a con artist, and the one I had to find out from that you were dating!" Oscar glares.
"Why do you hate Double D so much?!" Penny glares. "You act like he's a criminal, when he's literally the furthest thing from a criminal, heck he could pass for an angel!"
"That's our cue! Flutterus Featherus." Scamp fires the spell as it hits Edd.
"Please, he's no angel! I don't see any wings- "He stops as white wings appeared on the gray-haired genius' back. "I don't see a halo!"
"CRAP!" The terrier shouts as everyone turns to see the three in the bushes. "Uh…hey, pretty nice night for a stroll."
"Nick don't arrest me. This was all my fault yes, but it was only because I told my best friend's girlfriend's father about their secret dating it's my fault." Eddy looks down.
"It's not just his fault, its mine. I told Penny's mom just to get a free trip to the vet, and the way I tried to help was to enter Trudy's body-"
"Stop saying it like that!" Edd shouts blushing.
"We're bad boys!" Ed whimpers running in.
"Ed and I spilled the kibble to Suga Mama and her boyfriend Papi! We're bad boys!" Scamp whimpers getting on his knees. "Take us to jail! We deserve to be locked up and not given any dinner!" He cries into his paws as Ed hugs him close.
"Okay…" Nick looks to the rabbit known as Judy. "Judy, what do we have here?"
"It's a Code 9-0210. Parents meeting the boyfriend and the boyfriend, or his friends were trying to help with insane plans and make the parents fall for the boyfriend." The rabbit declared. "You're all free to go."
"Wait for reals?!" Eddy questioned.
"You have no idea how many times this happens in a week." The fox chuckles. "Heck, ya should've seen the last time this happened at Transylvanian Apartments. Some girl was trying to impress her vampire girlfriend's dad and aunt. Have a nice night." The two cops walked out as Trudy walks in face covered in soot as she coughs.
"Well, this has certainly been a night. Who wants pizza?" Trudy asked as almost everyone held their hands up. A few moments later, we see the entire group eating pizza in the living room.
"Am I the only one who thinks this is the strangest dinner ever?" Siri questioned.
"Eh you hang around this family long enough you'll see stranger." Suga Mama comments.
"Sockhead, we're sorry this date…went balls up." Eddy apologized. "I just wanted to make you look like a macho man in front of Oscar and Trudy."
"But instead you got your butt whooped." Max chuckles.
"Not funny Barkin!" The con artist glares.
"It's fine." Edd smiles weakly as Oscar sighs.
"Alright, you two can still date." Oscar choked out in annoyance as everyone gasps. "But if you step one foot out of line. One pinky toe, then you're gonzo."
"You're going to turn him into a Muppet?!" Ed questioned.
"I guess Rex was right about staying out of this." Ben comments. "But its too bad, because he doesn't get pizza." He reaches out for the pizza only for Suga Mama to smack his hand with the cane.
"That's mine boy." She glares at him as the man reaches for the omnitrix turning it on. "You want to go?" He slams on the watch turning into Four Arms. As they started to brawl, we go to train station at night to see a lone figure standing at the tracks.
He was around the age of nineteen as had on an orange hoodie with black sleeves and black pants with black sneakers. His face covered by long white and blackish red hair. His skin was a dark tan, his eyes a light orange as he pulls a photograph out of his pocket. The photograph was of the Eds, Scamp, Ben, Rex, Jenny before her gender change and another kid smiling. The kid had black hair with a white hair in the form of a star on his forehead and dark tan skin. He had on an orange T-shirt with black long sleeves and a snake in the form of an S on the chest, wearing beige pants and black sneakers.
"Can't wait time see you guys...hope you haven't caused too much chaos without me." He chuckles as a red and blue futuristic train pulls up to the station.
I'll let everyone's imaginations run wild with how Suga Mama VS Four Arms turns out~
