1:00-

"Yes, hello, may I help you?"

"Yes, you may."

"...What is it do you need?"

"I need to speak to Edward."

"Okay...May I ask who is asking for him?"

"You may."

The secretary looked funny at Ed, who towered over her.

"Can you not do that please."

"Oh, sorry." Muttered Ed sheepishly. "Old habits die hard." The secretary, unamused, presses down on her intercom.

"Sir, someone has came by for you." She let the intercom button go.

"Is it the Feds?" Eddy's voice was starting to crack, as if he was crying.

"Eddy, it's me, Lumpy!" yelled Ed into the intercom.

"Uh, Lumpy, I didn't press the intercom button yet." Said the secretary, annoyed by the oaf.

"Well, duh!" Ed walked toward Eddy's door. "Eddy could easily hear me without some...box!" he scoffed. He went inside, ignoring the secretary's voice

"Eddy, you ham, how's it- Ed stopped as he saw how Eddy's office looked.

The walls were bare, exposing the dim, gray walls. The floor, which Eddy was sitting on, was a wooden mess. The whole floor was sticky, and smelled funny, and you could easily find where the termites have eaten through the wood.

"Ew."

"Dammit, Ed what do you want!" yelled Eddy in an unknown rage.

Ed shifted to the side. "Where have you been friend?" Ed shifted to the other side. "Have you forgotten that you was to pick me up..." He looks at his watch. "...5 days ago in 5 minutes?"

Silence.

"You didn't even pick up Nazz!" He bent over and grabbed his toes.

Silence.

"I've been home for days, and you didn't even come to see me. Don't you even care? OHSAA!" Ed pulled his toes up, causing him to fall on his back. "Damn."

Silence.

Ed looked at Eddy, dumbfounded. "Case in point, friend, you don't care?"

"No, I don't. Go away."

Ed looked throughout this room, believing that this was impossible. How could his number one friend, not care? Unless, it was not him, but it was the-

"THE ROOM'S EVIL, EDDY! IT'S STEALING YOUR SUNSHINE AND EMOTIONS!!

Eddy stood up. "Ed," he said slowly. "I'm going to give you the count of-

Yahtzee!" Ed back handed the poor Eddy, and grabbed him by the shirt.

"This place is more bleak than Johnny's taste for garlic cloves!" Before Eddy could recover, Ed slapped him again, knocking him senseless. "Don't worry, this'll be our grandest escape."

The world started going clouded around Eddy, and was soon dark, and cold.

Chapter 4-Eddy

"Eddy, do you remember the time, when we made those muffins, and you said I ate all of them, and I said I had one? I had two. I was still hungry."

Eddy, who just regained conscious 5 minutes ago, looked at Ed insultingly. "Ed, do you remember the time when you came into my office, beat me, destroyed my office, and held me captive on top of a giant hill?"

"Yeah, Like it happened yester-

"It happened 15 minutes ago, you ass!"

Ed beamed with pride. "Good times, Eddy." The two stopped talking, and watched the nature around them.

"Don't bother getting my office back up." Said Eddy, silently.

"Like there was much of an office!" laughed Ed, but changed his tone, as he looked at how depressed his friend was. "What is wrong?"

Eddy, after saying nothing, spoke. "My father had the Edward and Son Auto Dealer for 20 years. Not much of anything, but above all, he always made sure of two things. One, that no lemons ever made the front line, and two, to treat everyone with respect...

Eddy sighed pitifully.

"Is there a point to this? I'm not here to listen to multiple life stories."

Eddy almost lost it, but cooled down immediately, unfortunately, Ed yawned. Rudely.

He heated up again "I slowly brung my father's biz down the toilet, okay! I got sexual harassment charges coming out my ass! Some rookie thinks he can buy my dealership! I haven't slept in weeks!"

"Uh Eddy?" muttered Ed uneasily; Eddy continued to rant.

"I didn't get any in months! I smell like a gym bag! Your gym bag! That Double Dipstick is trying to make a move on Sarah..."

"Dipstick?" Ed said silently. "Sarah?"

"And above all..." Eddy's tone lessened, he became depressed, and his eyes softened.

He laid down on the hill, and let himself roll.

When Ed finally got down the hill, he saw poor Eddy walking slowly to the city.

"Little Buddy, Wait!"

"I'm not little, I'm vertically challenged!" yelled Eddy. He looked back, and saw nothing. He turned around, and saw Lumpy.

"What is wrong, friend? Don't leave without sharing..." Eddy sat down, and sighed.

With a bit of uncertainty, Eddy started. "My father died in Miami one week ago. Car crash. I didn't bother to go to the funeral, I stayed home, crying, working. I didn't even speak to my brother, who by the way, went to the funeral...Happy, now?"

Ed looked shocked at his young friend, who is now, fatherless. Ed decided to make him feel better.

"We're going to Miami!" Eddy looked up at the idiot.

"I'm not go-

"I'll pack my things, and well, everybody else!"

"Ed-"

"And you'll get to kiss the mortician."

Eddy stared at him. "What?"

"When my Grammy died when I was...this many," Ed held out 10 fingers. "I went to the funeral, and everything was so well done, I kissed the mortician. She wasn't that cute though, and she smelled like eggs.

"...Ed."

Ed grinned in a way he hasn't in a long time. "It'll be great! Meet me at my house in 1 day!" He slapped Eddy, this time knocking him out the 1st hit. He grabbed Eddy's limp body, and skipped toward the city.

"Yaw! We're going to Miami! Miami, Miami, we're going to Miami, who as big and round as snow! Ed sang, and laughed heartily, Unknown to him that Eddy doesn't want to go, to Miami.

Why doesn't Eddy want to go Miami? Is Double Dip- I mean Double D really trying to make a move on Sarah? What will happen to the picture of Kevin drunk, and what of Kevin? And Ed kissing a mortician?

What is that about?

Stay tuned!!!!
