Ed was sound asleep in his bedroom on the morning of his birthday. He had expected many good things to happen on his day. When his alarm went off at 9:45 A.M., his eyes were wide open and he was ready to go.
Sarah, on the other hand, was not too thrilled about his birthday. Year after year, she had to put up with his loud and jovial nature on his birthday. She sulked into the kitchen to make herself breakfast when Ed stampeded into the room.
"BIRTHDAY! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!" he shouted as he ran across the house.
"Ed, you idiot," Sarah shouted back. "Keep it down. Mom and Dad are still sleeping."
"But, Sarah, this is the best day of the year." He enveloped his sister into a big hug, much to her disgust. "I need to go to my friends' house and celebrate with them. Get ready for my party tonight."
Just for the heck of it, he added before going off, "Teddy Bears! Don't you love them."
Sarah simply sighed in disgust as she continued her breakfast before heading over to Jimmy's.
Eddy had just gotten up and was enjoying his morning shower. He knew it was Ed's birthday and he was not looking forward to it.
"Why do we have to celebrate Lumpy's party?" he grumbled to himself. "Couldn't we just go to a carnival instead? This is the time of year when the weather gets nicer and nicer. I'd rather enjoy that."
Suddenly, Ed made his way through the shower drain and popped up.
"Hiya, Eddy," he cheerfully greeted.
"Ed!" Eddy screamed in shock as he ran out as quickly as possible to put his bathrobe on. "What in Heaven's name are you doing here?"
"Don't you have a car flood light?" he asked just as demanding.
"Look, Ed. I know it's your birthday, but why are you in my shower? Are you trying to look at me naked?"
"Yes, I do, Eddy!"
"Just get out of here! Go find Double D and torture him." Eddy tried to go back to his shower.
"We shall do that, Eddy!" He flew out of the house towards Edd's house – taking Eddy with him.
"Edd, what are you doing?"
"Taking us to Double D's house just like you said, Eddy!"
Edd was finished with his breakfast and had finished wrapping Ed's present. He, for a change was looking forward to Ed's party.
"Hello, Double D." he yelled as he made his way into Edd's room.
Startled, Edd kept his composure and greeted him. "Hello, Ed. I took the liberty of making you a present."
"You're the best, Double D!" he ran over and embraced Edd, grossing him out. He opened the present and found a huge box of Chunky Puffs.
"Double D, you shouldn't have!" he exclaimed before eating the entire box in one big bite. He then ran off to his house to get ready for the party that was to start in three minutes.
"Eddy, why are you in your bathrobe?" he curiously asked.
"I'll give you one good guess, Einstein," he replied, still in a bad mood over being abruptly dragged out of the shower.
Later on, the Eds and an extremely reluctant Sarah were on the lawn, waiting for everyone.
"Ed, did you send out invitations or put up fliers, or DO ANYTHING TO PROMOTE YOUR PARTY!" Eddy asked when it was 10:30 and no one showed up.
"No, I didn't, Eddy," Ed happily said.
"Well, I'm going to bed and you can't stop me," Sarah said as she slumped inside.
"Oh, no, you don't!" Eddy dragged her back and then went to retrieve someone.
"Oh, I smell trouble," Edd said to himself.
A couple minutes later, Eddy came back dragging a half-asleep Kevin and a fast asleep Jimmy onto Ed's lawn.
"Hey! You be careful with Jimmy!" Sarah shouted and came to his side.
"Wha – What's going on?" a groggy Kevin asked. He fell asleep in front of the TV watching March Madness. When he came to his senses, he became angry. "Okay, which one of you dorks dragged me out of bed?"
"I did, buddy, so that you can enjoy Ed's party," Eddy calmly explained to him.
"I wouldn't enjoy Triple Dork's party if my life depended on it." He attempted to get back home, but Ed pulled him back and took him for a ride around the cul-de-sac.
"Put me down right now, dork!" he yelled. Ed would not let go.
"Isn't this fun, Kevin?"
When they got back to Ed's lawn, Kevin was red in the face and livid.
"Now it's you turn, Jimmy!"
Jimmy, who had still been asleep until Ed woke him up with his ride, was terrified when he realized what was happening to him.
"Help, Sarah, help!"
Sarah came running to his rescue. "Ed, you put Jimmy down, moron!" But try as she might, Ed's grip on him was too strong and there was no way he was going to let go.
"Oh, you want one, too, baby sister? Very well." He promptly picked her up and whirled her around the cul-de-sac as well.
"Ed, let go of me or I'm telling Mom!" she screamed. But Ed had already finished the ride and would have put her down anyway. "You're disgusting!"
"But I thought you liked rides, Sarah. You always loved them at the carnival.
Little did everyone realize that Kevin had gone to fetch the other cul-de-sac kids, Nazz and Rolf, minus Jonny and Plank, and he had a birthday present for Ed.
"Oh, Ed," he said when he returned. "How foolish it was of me to not bring you a present. I brought everyone to give you Birthday Beatings for ruining your own party. Don't ever wake me up like that again!"
"Let's get them!" they all said.
"Wait! What did we have to do with it!" Edd asked horrified.
"Don't blame me too," Eddy complained. But it was too late. Everyone had crowded around them and started giving Ed Birthday Beatings. Ed and Eddy just came with the package and they were beaten, too.
In his house, Jonny woke up from the commotion and looked out the window.
"Aren't you glad we didn't get invited, Plank?" he asked.
Plank gave him a blank look.
"So am I, buddy. Good night."
