*Chapter One
Our story opens in the cul-de-sac, one very early June morning. The sun has just peaked over the trees in the distance and races up the pavement. It should be a great summer; one where all the kids are together but it won't be. This summer their parents have made plans.
Ed and Sarah are to go on a cruise with their parents. Of course Jimmy didn't want to be away from Sarah and was granted permission to go along. Ed also begged for his two best friends to go along but his parents would only allow one. The choice wasn't difficult, however. Double D's parents were hardly ever there and had no problem with him going while Eddy's parents, afraid of the constant trouble Eddy gets into, said he would just have to spend his summer at home.
Rolf's summer was going to be a trip back to his homeland. Nazz and her folks were off to DisneyWorld. Johnny's destination was the mountains. Eddy was left all alone and was fairly certain that his summer was going to be the most boring three months of his life.
Today was the day. Almost everyone was leaving today. All but Johnny, and he only had two days before he would leave. Eddy got out of bed fairly early anyway. He got dressed slowly though. He was in no real hurry. Everyone had left before dawn. He did want to see if Johnny would be up to doing anything today but he probably wouldn't be up for a while.
Eddy was soon outside and walking down the sidewalk. He scanned his friends houses, knowing they were empty. What would he do all summer without them?? Eddy's thoughts were interuppted by a familiar sound. It was the sound of a bike coming up the street. Eddy turned to see Kevin riding slowly towards him. Eddy's expression was one of surprise for a moment. He had forgotten all about Kevin.
Kevin's bike skidded to a stop a few feet in front of Eddy. "What's up, Dork?? Why aren't you gone with your dorky friends??"
Eddy took a deep breath before answering. "I didn't want to go on a stupid cruise. That's why!"
Kevin studied Eddy's face for a moment. He knew that wasn't the truth. "Whatever." Kevin didn't give Eddy a chance to say anything else before his feet were on the pedals. He was halfway down the road before Eddy knew what happened.
Eddy stood there a few more minutes. It dawned on him that Kevin had said nothing about a trip for his summer vacation. Now Eddy's worst fears were confirmed. He would not be spending his summer all alone. He would be spending it with Kevin. It couldn't get any worse than this.
Later that day Eddy was hanging out with Johnny at the park. Eddy sat on a swing and watched as Johnny played with Plank in the sandbox a few feet away. He didn't really have much to say to Johnny. He only wanted the company, knowing that he would be without any for quite a while.
Again, Eddy's thoughts were interuppted by the sound of a bike coming towards him. He looked up to see kevin racing through the park. Chasing behind him was the worst thing imaginable, the Kanker Sisters. This was not what Eddy wanted to see right now. He and Johnny were on their feet instantly, ready to run. Surprisingly, they didn't have to. The Kankers ignored them and continued chasing after Kevin. That's when Eddy noticed that there was a Kanker missing. Lee and May were running alone, without their sister Marie. Johnny must have noticed it too. He scanned the rest of the playground and then quickly behind him. He must have been expecting a sneak attack.
A few seconds passed, and still nothing. Then he saw her, walking slowly out of the woods. She looked angry. Johnny wasted no time. He grabbed Plank and started running as fast as he could in the oppisite direction. Eddy started to run but then stopped when he noticed that she wasn't even looking in his direction. She was just walking with her arms crossed across her chest and that awful look on her face. She kept walking, never looking in Eddy's direction until she had left the park completely.
Eddy was a little confused but more worried about the other two coming back and him being there. He left the park and it wasn't long before he found Johnny and Plank, hiding from the Kankers, up in a tree. "Johnny, get outta there before ya' get stuck and I ain't gettin' you out!" Eddy wasn't in the mood for this and was looking around for something to throw at Johnny when he saw Kevin walking up the sidewalk. Beside him, he was pushing his bike, it's front tire flat.
"Outta my way, Dork!" Kevin pushed past Eddy without another word. Eddy glared at him. It was gonna be a long summer.
"Mad 'cuz your new girlfriends messed up your bike??" Eddy just couldn't resist. He knew he'd probably end up regreting it later.
Kevin stopped and looked back at Eddy over his shoulder. "You'll pay for that one, Dork." His eyes were cold and sent shivers up Eddy's spine. Kevin turned and began walking again.
Eddy dared to speak again. "Kevin, why were they after you anyway??" His tone was mocking but he really was curious.
Again, Kevin stopped and turned. His eyes were still like ice. "It's none of your buisness."
"Oh well., Johnny jumnped from the tree to join in the conversation. "I don't care. We won't have to put up with them all summer. Will we Plank??, Johnny paused to smile at his silent friend. "But we sure feel bad for you guys. All summer with them!" A brilliant smile on his face remained.
"Not quite!, Kevin decided to reveal what he knew. "They leave in the morning. Think they're gonna be models. They're goin' to a modeling school for like 2 months or somethin'. I told 'em they could model dog collars and that's why they were chasing me."
Eddy and Johnny looked at each other and then back at Kevin, who was already walking away again. They started behind him and almost immediately realized that there was someone behind them. That's when they heard her speak.
"He's right. They can't be models! They're just gonna waste their entire summer!" Johhny and Eddy turned to see Marie Kanker standing behind them.
Johnny, terrified, jumped behind Eddy, who rarely seemed to fear the Kankers. Usually, they just made him angry. This time was no different. "Don't ever sneak up on us like that! And what do you mean 'they'?? You're goin' to aren't ya'??"
"No way!, Marie walked right up to Eddy. "I don't wanna be a model! I have way more important things to think about!"
"Oh yeah! Like what?!"
"Like …uh…having fun! That's what!"
"Get outta my face, Marie!"
"Make me!" Marie didn't blink. Johnny thought for sure they were about to go at it. He started to back away from the two and waited for them to act.
After a moment, Eddy just grinned at her and walked away. Johnny quickly ran after him, afraid Marie's attention would turn to him. Marie stood there smiling, for in her mind she had won and victory over the Eds was always sweet.
Johnny just continued home, leaving Eddy at his driveway. Eddy stopped as he came to another horrible realization. He had been wrong earlier. Things could definitely be worse. Now, worse than spending all summer alone, worse than spending all summer alone with Kevin, Eddy would spend all summer alone with Kevin and Marie Kanker.
