Errr… please excuse the odd disclaimer. Let's move on to the next chapter, shall we?

-------

Nazz came running out of her house to join the other kids in the cul-de-sac.

"What was that explosion?" she asked urgently.

"That's what we're trying to figure out." Kevin replied.

"It's the end of the world!" Jimmy yelled as he ran up.

"Listen, Fluffy," Kevin said coldly, "I understand if that explosion scared you a little, but it wasn't the end of the world."

"It's not that!" Jimmy continued "King Plank and Jonny are missing!"

"MISSING?!?" Replied the other kids.

"That's awful!" came a voice from behind them. They turned to see their neighborhood rip off artist trying to hide his usual sleazy grin. Even if Eddy hid his grin better, the exasperated look on Edd's face gave it all away. Those Eds were up to something.

Kevin stepped up to Eddy and picked him up by the collar, "You have something to do with this, don't you?"

"Me?" Eddy replied, "Why would I do that to our great king?"

Eddy waited for a reply, but heard nothing but silence, so he continued.

"-But since Plank is no longer around to be king, the title should go to the runner-up." Eddy finished.

"And that would be him." Edd added, rolling his eyes.

"Right!" Eddy agreed. He stood up straight in an attempt to look like one who has a lot of authority.

The silence among the kids continued, until Nazz broke it.

"Well, that makes sense…kind of" she said.

"It's just until Plank comes back, right?" Jimmy asked Sarah.

Eddy grinned. There was no argument. One by one the kids left the cul-de-sac for their homes with a feeling of dread. But who cares? Eddy was now king! Only Kevin stood in the middle of the cul-de-sac, glaring at Eddy.

"I'm keeping an eye on you." Kevin stated. He turned and returned to his house.

------

Eddy jumped down from a chair. He had just put a record onto his turntable and was basically just enjoying his victory.

"What's your problem?" Eddy asked Edd, who was sulking in a corner of Eddy's room.

"I just can't help but feel guilty, Eddy." Edd replied.

"Oh, come on! It's just a plank of wood!" Eddy argued.

"To Jonny, it isn't!" Edd snapped back.

"Jonny's a freak… who cares?" Eddy shot back.

"Eddy," Edd retorted, "Jonny is just a regular kid just like you and me, he just has-"

"Just what are you doing?" his brother's form asked.

"My brother…. I…"

The form sighed, "What did I say about replying to voices in your head?"

Eddy remained silent. He waited for the image of his brother to continue. Edd's "speech" was still going on in the background.

"That sock headed friend of yours' child is going to steal your crown. That's what the Kanker's said- and they were right about the first two things!"

Eddy glanced at Edd, who was still talking.

This guy was a threat to him?

This guy's children was a threat to him?

They're pre-teens, why are they thinking about children?

"The crown belongs in our line now- and you will not let him take it. You will get him out of the way."

"-so in that way you should admire Jonny rather than criticize him-"

"You will get him out of the way."

"Eddy! Are you even listening to me?" Edd asked.

Eddy nodded. He will get him out of the way.

"Hey boys, let's take a field trip to the forest." Eddy announced.

"The forest?! Why are we going there?" Asked Edd.

"To eat, drink, and be merry?" Ed asked.

"Close enough." Eddy replied. "Let's go"

"I'm not moving until I know why we're going to the woods." Edd said stubbornly.

"Ed, get Double D." Eddy ordered. Ed picked up Edd, Eddy picked up some rope, and they headed out to the forest.

"I have a bad feeling about this…" said Edd.

---------

They were pretty deep in the forest when they finally stopped.

"Double D, would you mind hugging that tree for me?" Eddy said.

Edd eyes narrowed, "Now I know what you're up to. I am not going near that tree!"

"Awww, come on Double D" Insisted Ed, "It looks like it needs a hug." He pushed Edd into the tree. "There, there, weeping willow, Double D will dry your tears."

"It's an oak, Ed." Edd corrected.

"No, it's a banana!" argued Ed.

Edd sighed, there was no use continuing this argument or any other at this time. Eddy already begun tying him to the tree and it was already beyond escape.

Eddy stepped back and admired his work. "Okay, Ed. It's getting dark, let's go home."

"G'Night Double D!" Ed chirped as he followed Eddy away from Edd.

---------

"What? Double D disappeared too?" was the phrase that was mumbled around the cul-de-sac the next morning.

'This was getting way too out of control.' Kevin concluded. 'That dork has definitely gone too far.'

Kevin hurriedly packed some supplies and left the cul-de-sac in hopes of finding Plank, Jonny, or Edd.

Ah, and that was the third chapter! Did you like it? Thank you very much for reading this far and I hope you stick with it the rest of the way.

Btw, ZephyrSamba and I have a team-up pen name now, and we are in the process of posting a story we wrote together. I suggest reading the story if you haven't yet. Our pen name is "Jaha and Zeph" (yes, inspired, I know.) and the story is called Mission EdPossible. What would happen if the Eds started a kissing booth scam? Well, read that story to find out! And that's an order!
