Chapter Two: Trust-Ed?

"TREASURE MAP!" finished Eddy.

"Can't I say one sentence without being interuppt..."

"Whatever, sock head!"

Eddy's eyes suddenly grew big, but his pupil's small. "This is a treasure map to the... GOLDEN Jawbreaker!"

Instantly, everyone started to drool. The thought of a golden jawbreaker made visions of cash dance around in Eddy's head, visions of winning prestigious scientific awards in Double D's, and visions of owing a chicken holding a pot of gravy in Eds.

"Wait a moment! Eddy, your brother has played this kind of trick on us before. How do you know he's not tricking us again?" Double D said.

"Cause, sock head, that moose was in our attic since before he was born. And my bro hates the attic."

"That's not a very good reason. He could have gone up there and hid it."

"Then, cause that plot'll be two close to O-Ed-Eleven," finished Eddy.

"It's not just a gym bag, it's a way of life!" Added Ed.

"Fine," Double D said. "Well gentlemen, shall we go on this exhilarating excursion?"

"Nifty alliteration," said Ed absentmindedly.

"You bet your sweet ptootie!" shouted Eddy. "What's the map say?"

"I'm afraid that's left to be discovered," Double D pointed out. "The directions are written in another language. Latin, I think. I'll go home and decode it. Come back tomorrow."

"TOMORROW? Then? You're the smart guy, you should know this!" Eddy hollered.

"Latin is a very complicated language, Eddy. It'll take me at least six or seven hours."

"WHAT? Can't you do it half an hour!"

"Do you want the treasure or not?"

"I want a picnic on the back of a silverback anaconda!"

Double D and Eddy stared at Ed.

"Shoot! Well, fine. See ya tomorrow."

Eddy, Ed and Double D walked to their homes. Eddy pulled out a "Bikini Babes" magazine and started "reading". Minutes pass. The magazine slips off Eddy's face, which revealed an Eddy gritting his teeth. He got out of his house, and stormed out to the playground to the slide. Eddy climbed to the top and sat there. He liked sitting on top of the slide. It made him feel important, as if he were a king on top of his thrown, or Richey Rich sitting on his wads of cash. Eddy never got on the slide around Ed, Double D or anybody. He thought people would think he was a baby. But today was a nice calm day. The wind blew through the leaves of the trees, which looked like crisp bills of cash to Eddy. He could see the whole cul-de-sac from the slide, or at least he thought so. He saw a black hat behind the fence that separated the park from the lane.

That looks like Double Ds hat. And that's Ed's buzz cut. What're they doin... Eddy, you idiot! They've betrayed you. I better stop them and tell 'em off. Wait. I'll catch them in the act of digging up the treasure. Then they're trapped.

Eddy followed Ed and Double D out of the cul-de-sac, through the trailer park, into the forest, until they stopped in front of a big hole.

"Ah Hah!" Eddy yelled as he jumped on Double D. "I knew you were trying to get rich without me! You dorks betrayed me! After all I did..."

Eddy continued to pound on Double D until Ed got the message that Double D was hurting and threw Eddy off.

"Eddy, Ed and I weren't going steal the treasure. Ed and I were going to... Wait! Come with us Eddy. I'll show you!" Double D said.

"Well, maybe I won't," said Eddy, trying to salvage the remainder of his dignity. He turned his back to Ed and Double D, pretending to flip through an imaginary agenda.

"Well let's see. Dinner at six-thirty, I can't miss that again. At seven-thirty, high tea with the queen of England, at eight, planning for scams until bed at nine-thirty. Nope, sorry sock-head, can't come with ya."

"Eddy, it's two thirty," Double D said.

"It's two-thirty," mocked Eddy. "Well fine. If you're going to cry about it!"

"Cry a pie up in the sky," said Ed.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy walked around the hole, which was in the construction site, through the junkyard, and past their school. Then they finally got to their destination.

"THE PEACH CREEK LIBRARY!" Eddy asked rather loud.

"Right you are Eddy. Ed was going to help me check out some Latin dictionaries," Double D said.

"Ahh, this is bum," said Eddy. "I'm going home!"

Eddy walked off and left Double D and Ed standing in front of the library.

"Well Ed, I trust you brought your library card," Double D told Ed.

"You betcha!"

Ed pulled out an old tin can that once held gravy. He pulled his wallet out of the can, which was beat up and covered in dust. Then he pulled out his library card, which was in better condition than Double D's.

"Ed. When did you get that card?"

"Kindergarten."

"But how did you get it so clean?"

"Leather and gravy are natures cleansers."

"I'll probe that theory later. Right now we need some books on Latin dialect."

Authors note: Sorry about the very long delay. I've been very busy. I'm hoping to update soon, give me two weeks, tops!
