It was a warm summer night in Peach Creek on Rathink Ave. It wasn't very late in the night, it was just after the sun had set. The fireflies were spread out into the summer air and the Eds were sitting on Eddy's back porch right in the middle of it all.

"I've got the scam of a lifetime!" Eddy declared, "the king of 'em all!"

A grin stretched across his face and a familiar twinkle in his eye could be seen as he continued his self-praise.

"This scam's gold, I tell ya! We'll be swimming in jawbreakers by the end of tomorrow."

And by the next morning, the Eds got their scam ready in Eddy's front yard. Ed hauled the stand they used for their energy drink scam, which Edd had repaired. The old sign had a piece of paper taped over it that had "Learn to Fly" crudely written on it.

A few minutes passed by, and it seemed like they had no customers. Maybe everyone was busy with their own things. But then they saw three kids walk by and stop in front of their stand.

Ed was in his own little world as usual and Eddy couldn't stop daydreaming about jawbreakers until a voice interrupted the short one's thoughts.

"Learn to fly?! That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!"

"Oh yeah?" Eddy leaned forward from behind the stand, getting ready to yell in the kid's face, "who asked you-"

He stopped in his tracks when he realized the kids that stopped by didn't live in the cul-de-sac. He'd never seen them before! The kid that criticized the scam was a short one, wearing a blue shirt, red pants and orange beanie. His friends were a boy and a girl. The boy was dark skinned and wore a green beanie, the girl was tan with dark hair and wore dark red.

"Wait," Eddy said after his realization, "you guys aren't from around here."

"Yeah," the short kid said, "we're from out of town. If this is supposed to be a scam or something, then it stinks."

"What are you saying?" Eddy asked, challenging the kid's opinion.

"Any other ideas you've come up with before this one?" The kid asked.

"Our lawn mowing idea went pretty smooth," Eddy said confidently.

"Actually," Edd said, pointing out the failure, "that plan failed."

"Anything else?" Asked the kid.

"Peach Creek Cruise Lines," Eddy said.

"Stupid," the kid shot back.

"Ed's Friend Store," said Eddy, still trying to change the kid's mind.

"Yawn," said the kid, unimpressed.

—"Rent A Clown?"

—"Boring!"

"Man," the kid said, completely exasperated, "I can see why they all failed. Your scams are weak! Why don't you just quit while you're at it?"

"Like you can come up with anything better?!" Eddy shouted.

"Why would I want to think of stupid ideas?" The kid said.

"Then," Eddy said, starting to get angry, "get lost!"

"Wanna start a fight," the kid said, also getting heated, "bring it on, Flat Head!"

"You better watch your mouth, squirt!" Eddy screamed.

"Why do you," the kid said, holding the bridge of his nose, getting irritated, "do these stupid things, anyway?"

"To get cash to buy jawbreakers!" Ed blurted out.

"Well, in that case," the kid said, throwing his hands up in annoyance, "it'd be easier to take the stupid jawbreakers from the stupid store and walk out without even paying!"

He turned and walked away, but not before saying,

"And if you're smart, you'll follow me, and I'll show you how it's done."

"You're not serious..." Edd said worriedly, and walked after him to convince him not to shoplift.

"Follow the leader!" Ed shouted and ran after them.

Eddy, completely aggravated by the kids' sudden appearance, though not wanting his friends to leave him behind, followed reluctantly.
