Thanks for the reviews; it makes me happy that people like it so far. I don't own Ed, Edd & Eddy but I seriously wish I did or at least meet the people who do their voices. (Go Matt Hill, Tony Sampson, and especially Samuel Vincent.)
"In the junkyard! That's where you expect to find Nazz's present! In a junkyard!" Double dee shouted disbelieving. The Ed was searching through trash and other discarded items in search for something that Eddy found "worthy" of Nazz.
"What? Chicks dig antiques. My brother told me so. That's how he got his fifth, seventh and twelfth girlfriends," Eddy argued. "You found anything yet, lumpy?" he shouted at Ed who was now waist deep it broken combs and empty toothpaste containers.
"Do you think she'll like this tooth brush?" Ed asked holding up his prize as an ant crawled in and out of it.
"No, keep looking. There has got to be a old brush or flashlight that needs batteries somewhere," Eddy called out again.
"Antique! This is trash, garbage! Nazz probably threw out what ever you are planning to give her. Do you understand Eddy, if you get something here then she won't like your present. Then again I suppose it's the thought that counts, but for crying out loud, Eddy, you haven't but much thought into it!" Double dee yelled in Eddy's ear, making sure every word was heard.
"You have a better idea sock head? I'm broke, I can't by her anything so I'll have to find it," Eddy snapped back.
"Why don't you knit her a-"
"Knit? Are you kidding me? I don't know how to knit, much less will I. It's so girly. Besides I can't make her anything, if Kevin found out I made her something, he's rub it in my face!" Eddy retorted, yelling at Double dee like he had said something truly outrageous.
"Oh and if Kevin found out you found her gift in the trash would be much better?" his friend scoffed.
"Is this good Eddy?" Ed asked holding up what looked like an old music box. It was pink and tattered but Eddy has happy anyway.
"That's great! Come down here lumpy and give it to me," Eddy said excited. Ed ran down the pile of trash holding the music box above his head.
"Why, that is an antique!" exclaimed the brainy boy in utter shock and disbelief.
"Told you I'd find something good," Eddy bragged.
"Ed found it," Double dee pointed out. "May I look at that please?" Ed silently handed Double dee the music box. Double dee took out his magnifying glass and studied it intensively.
"Why would anyone want to throw this out? A little scuffed and it could use a new gear, but it is really quite a work of art. Then I suppose one man's treasure is another man's trash, but I must say that you have hit the jackpot, Eddy" Double dee said after looking it over.
"Well, I'm glad it met your approval," Eddy said sarcastically, snatching it back. Double dee looked rather annoyed.
"Come on lumpy, lets go and wrap this thing up," Eddy said referring to the box.
"Doesn't Ed need to get a present for Nazz, as I can only assume that he was planning to get Nazz something here as well," Double dee stated.
"That's okay Double dee. I already got her a gift. Do you think that she'll like butter toast?" Ed asked. Both Eddy and Double dee looked at Ed strangely not comprehending how Ed could be that nieve. Would have thought they would have expected it by now.
"No, sorry Ed, I don't think Nazz would like butter toast as a birthday present," said Double dee patting Ed on the shoulder who looked deeply crestfallen.
"Can we get on with it!" Eddy shouted. "Let's got to my house."
Nothing much funny happen for the rest of the week. The Eds pulled several unsuccessful scams and one err…they made one quarter that week (which was lost down the drain thanks to Ed.) Then finally the much-anticipated party had arrived.
"Nice party Nazz," Kevin said after entering the back yard with his present.
He took a look around. There was a small table where some presents were piled. There was an oddly shaped one, two with very vibrant colored ones and one that was in a cardboard box tied with twine. There was also a table for snacks with chips and dip and a big bowl of punch. There were several fold-up type chairs on the edges of the yard for people to sit and chat. A large area was cleared for dancing where Jonny, Rolf, Sarah and Jimmy where already on the floor. Some sort of mid 70's disco was playing from a boom box on one of the chairs. Rolf dancing somewhat overly done, he looked like he wasn't even dancing to the beat at all. Jimmy was encouraging Sarah to dance while dancing himself like he was a superstar. Sarah was a bit annoyed with Jimmy's slightly pompous way of dancing. Jonny was dancing with Plank and was actually rather good and appropriate to the time era of the music. If you asked him why he knew how to boogie he would say "Plank's, grandma taught me. Boy can she move her twigs for her age!"
"Thanks Kev'," replied Nazz after Kevin took a look around. "Do you mind if you DJ for us dude? I kind of don't have one. You can still hang out but you'll be the one to play the CD's," Nazz smiled weakly.
"Would I! Over course, Nazz!" Kevin said as though she had complimented him and ran to the boom box with a stack of Nazz's CD's next.
"Hey Kevin, ya' mind if you not change the music style for a while? Everyone seams to like this, if that's cool," Nazz cautioned.
"Whatever, you're the birthday girl," Kevin said smiling but he really wanted to play something more modern. He let the song finish and played another 70's song, though a bit more rocking then the last. Then the Eds arrived.
"Told you didn't need to wear that tie, Double dee," Eddy said triumphantly.
Everyone was dressed in their normal attire with the exception of Double dee would was wearing a blue tie. Double dee nervously removed it and shoved it in his pocket. The three of them carried their gifts to the table, careful not to let Ed's present touch any of the others as it was dripping. Ed had given Nazz gravy in a somewhat leaky Tupperware. Both Eddy and Double agreed that butter toast was a much better gift. Double dee had in fact knitted Nazz a yellowish green, dark orange and plum scarf, as they were the only colors that his mother hadn't yet knitted into a sweater for some relative or for himself. The colors clashed horribly, but the craftsmanship wasn't bad. Eddy made Double dee fix the music box and wrapped it with out adding a paint job, so it worked, but it still looked tattered. Ed went off to dance with Rolf as the two quickly drove everyone else of the dance floor (somewhat to Sarah's relief, but she still yelled at him any way.) Eddy spied the snack table and went over to it to have a snack. Double dee was about to sit on one of the chairs when he saw Nazz.
"So glad you and your friend's could come Double dee," Nazz said in her blissfully polite way.
"Nice um… party you err…have here. Um, yes," Double dee said dripping with sweat and with every muscle shaking and refused to keep still no matter how much Double dee's brain commanded them to.
"Thank you Double dee," Nazz replied completely oblivious to Double dee's state of nervousness.
"Right. Hope gift like you," he continued to stutter and went to sit down cursing in his head that he failed to use proper English and then cursed in his head for cursing in his head.
Kevin played a softer 80's hit (he wanted to work up to the time period of his preference and also he wanted Ed and Rolf to cool down a bit) and walked over to Nazz to ask her something that he had been meaning to for the last week.
"Um, Nazz? Why did you invite the Eds?" he asked like it was a stupid thing to do but tried not to let Nazz see that.
"Oh, I had to. My mom told me I had to invite everyone. But don't tell them. I was thinking of inviting them anyway, they aren't that bad, you know. It's just that she made me invite everyone, you know," Nazz told Kevin. Kevin was slightly relieved by the fact that she was forced to invite them even if she was thinking to anyway. Kevin then thought of something bad, absolutely horrible and disturbing. The sudden realization struck his very heart with regret that he had to ask another question.
"Um, Nazz. Did your mom force you to invite the Kanker sisters?" Kevin asked in a very worried tone.
"I'm hoping that they don't come, or if they do then don't see the Ed's," Nazz said solemnly knowing that it was inevitable.
Hope you liked it. As you can see there is going to be a bit of a problem more then expected. Thanks again for the reviews!
