Chapter 13: Bark At The Moon
"Marie?" said May, quietly.
May saw that Marie was going to Ed's house, but with Chris and Double D. May wanted to figure out why Marie was with them, but she didn't want to provoke them, especially Chris. May decides to sneak in different bushes to see what's going on.
However, what is Lee doing? Well, Lee is in Eddy's backyard, getting ready to kidnap Eddy to bait Chris into a trap. However, Lee got unlucky. Why? Eddy isn't actually home, as he decided a while ago to go to Ed's house to play some games. So... Eddy, unintentionally, saved himself from getting kidnapped.
"Hmph. Shrimp got lucky. Maybe he's at Double D's house..." Lee said to herself.
Talk about double unlucky, AND lucky aswell, seeing as no one is there either. Wow. Convenience upon convenience!
Back to Chris, Double D, Marie, the three of them camp up to Ed's door, and hit the bell. While waiting, Chris says...
"This is just crazy..."
Marie, curious, says, "What do you mean?"
"Well, what seemed like seconds ago, you were someone that I hated. Now? Here we are, trying to help someone close to you. At least, that's what I would presume." said Chris.
"So, do you trust me?" Marie asked, reluctantly.
"That'll depend on what happens, because you haven't exactly been all friendly now, right? Plus... I know what you've done with the Eds. And your sisters too." responded Chris.
Marie didn't know what to say other than, "...like what?"
"Well... the time that you trapped them in a wall, the time that you your sisters forced them to marry you three, the time that you and Lee kidnapped Ed for May for some reason, the time..."
Essentially, Chris brought up various fights, or generally any conflict between the Eds the Kankers. Double D felt embarrassed, but Marie felt guilty at the end of the day.
"...you get the point." stated Chris.
"Chris, while I can certainly see your point of how Marie has done rather raunchy things in the past, don't you think we can move past them, or at least try to?" said Double D.
Chris, although agreeing with Double D, was kinda reluctant to the idea, as knowing their history, he would have to take time to used to even considering Marie her sisters friends even. Either way, he says, "...you got a point, but give me time to adjust, alright?"
He turns to Marie and says, "I guess we can at least be cool with each other. Agree?"
"Sure." she responds.
Afterwards, they shake hands on it, and Chris says, as he opens Ed's door, "Alright, let's start this."
Chris came into Ed's house and didn't see him anywhere.
"Huh... where is he?"
"Perhaps he is downstairs? Ed always stays there." Said Double D.
"Let me go check. Also, Marie, stay back for a bit, as I doubt Ed will listen if he sees you and starts freaking the heck out. No offense of course." said Chris.
"Fine." Marie said.
"Double D, I'll take care of Ed. You and Marie just stay here."
"Can do." Double D responds.
Chris went downstairs, and opened the door to Ed's room, then went inside and Ed greets him, saying,
"Oh, hello there Chris!" said Ed.
"Hey Ed." said Chris.
"Chris! What's up? Me and Ed are just here playing some games, not sure what sockhead's doing." said Eddy.
Chris was surprised to find Eddy, and he already knew that the plan to help out May wouldn't exactly go as he planned, seeing as he didn't account for Eddy's involvement. Well, it seemed as though it came time for him to improvise a plan... somehow some way...
"Howdy Eddy." said Chris, before he inhaled and said,
"Ed, I have to talk to you. Can you talk real quick?"
"Okie-Dokie! Eddy, keep an eye out for the aliens!" Ed yelled out.
And so, right outside Ed's door, Chris began talking to Ed.
"Hey, I need you to well... help me with something." Chris said, not 100% certain at all as to how to reveal his idea to Ed.
"Do tell more!" responded Ed.
Chris decided to not drag on and just said, "Ed, it's about May. She's not... um... very happy."
Ed just said, "May? Sad?"
Chris then said, "Yeah, she's really upset because of the stunt."
Ed yells out, "I'M TOO YOUNG TO FALL IN LOVE! WE MUST RUN BEFORE-"
Chris put out buttered toast, that he had in reserve, in front of Ed to calm him down, after which he states, "Ugh. That always works... Okay. Ed, this isn't a music video from 1983 dude! All I plan to do is have you make May happy. That's it. Heck, you don't even have to be friends, Just be normal. Okay?"
Ed, still appeared reluctant, as he didn't trust May having feelings that weren't your average obsession. Then again, Ed has never seen that happen ever.
"May, I hope you thank me good lord..." Chris said in his mind, before saying, "Ed, if you do this, I'll give you a double gravy filled buttered toast sandwich. Deal?"
"Okay." said Ed, slightly reluctant.
"Remember this, if anything goes wrong, trust that I will handle it." Chris said, trying to make sure Ed wasn't scared. As they were both going upstairs Eddy comes out from the room and says, "Boys! Where ya going?"
"Ah crap." said Chris.
"Naughty language mister!" said Ed.
"Let's go get sock head or something. Because I'm guessing you've got a plan for something, right Chris?" suggested Eddy.
Chris was lost of what to do because he severely doubted Eddy would've agreed to the plan. However, Eddy would certainly catch on sooner or later. So, he decides to explain it all in the living room, saying, "Well, why don't I explain in the living room?"
And so, they went to the living room. However, Chris forgot about that both Double D and Marie we're in the living room, talking about things, and seemingly getting along. Not romantically at all, but as friends. After all, it's not like they just sat there, not saying anything to each other.
"Uh..." said Double D.
"Oh for gods sake!" said Chris.
"Double D! What the heck are YOU doing dude!? That's a Kanker you're falling over for!" yelled an angry Eddy.
"Eddy, please! Have some manners!" said Double D.
"Geez shorty, you're still calling me by my last name?" said Marie.
"Zip it! Get out of here!" yelled Eddy.
"Excuse me! Eddy, do you have any manners?" said Double D
"A Kanker doesn't deserve-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH! ALL OF YOU SHUT UP! NOW!" yelled Chris INSANELY loudly...
They all went silent.
"... are we done?" said Chris.
"I am so confused..." Ed, randomly said.
"Chris! Are you nuts!" said Eddy in protest.
"Eddy, do me a favor and-"
"What is miss 'blue-haired devil' even doing here?! She doesn't deserve to be here!" Eddy said, cutting Chris off.
"Eddy, stop." said a concerned Chris.
"Where's double-tooth and the red-haired skank at! I know that you brought them here Marie!" Eddy said, obviously referring to Marie's sisters.
However, umm... well, okay, Chris, look at Marie.
"Why?"
Look dude!
"Uh..."
Marie was very noticeably angry, and looked as though she wanted to kill Eddy. Yes, kill. That's not a good thing.
"Eddy, that's enough! Seriously, stop!" Chris, worried, said.
"Double D! Get away from her, you'll contract Kanker love like that one Valentine's Day! And it'll be worse!"
"YOU LITTLE RAT!" Marie yelled, reaching her breaking point, before charging at Eddy and attacking him, beating him up.
"Oh no... Marie! Stop!" yelled Chris.
Chris tried to get Marie off of Eddy and stop, but this resulted in failure, as Chris was kicked to a wall by Marie, essentially resulting in him slamming into the wall, very hard.
"Ow... ah crap..." thought Chris.
Marie, after a lot of punches and kicks, grabbed a table, and slammed it insanely hard on Eddy, and at that point decided to leave, running away from Ed's house. How she was feeling is not exactly hard to guess. Right?
"Holy crap... that ended so poorly. Eddy?" said Chris.
"OH MY LORD!" yelled Double D.
Eddy was severely hurt, and two of his teeth were knocked out. At that moment, it seemed as though he fought a wrestler on stage or something, not a blue-haired girl that got insanely angry to no avail. Although Chris kinda felt bad, let's be honest, he and everyone else saw that coming.
"ED! WHAT'S ALL THAT RACKET!" yelled a voice.
"What the? Who's that?" asked Chris.
"That's my baby sister, Sarah." Ed said.
"This might not end well..." stated Chris.
"Jeepers! What occurred here?" said a different voice.
"It's a long story." responded Chris.
"Who the heck is that?" asked Sarah.
"That must be the new kid I told you about! Remember, he's the new one in the cul-de-sac I told you about Sarah!" responded the other voice.
"Hello there, my name is Chris." Chris responded to the two.
"Hi there, name's Jimmy."
Sarah was the mess that occurred, thanks to Marie's burst of rage at Eddy.
"Alright, who did this mess!?" yelled Sarah.
"Well..."
Chris began to explain how a conversation between the Eds and Marie was supposed to happen, but because Eddy wouldn't stop insulting Marie to no end, she just attacked him relentlessly and left.
"Ha! Short mouth got what he deserved!" said Sarah.
"Well guys, I'm not sure what to do really. Also, notice the time?" said Chris.
"9 PM. Oh dear... fellas! We must get to sleep!" yelled Double D.
"And for tomorrow?" asked Chris.
"NO WAY! Argh, We're going nowhere near those animals!" yelled Eddy, still in protest unsurprisingly.
"Maybe, just maybe, if you would've relaxed for a second, it would've gone differently, and you wouldn't be hurt right now Eddy." responded Double D.
"Those Kankers never, 'talk', are you nuts!?" Eddy blurted.
Chris, at that point, was simply too tired to be bothered with this, and just said, "Let's just continue tomorrow maybe. My god, you are impossible to work with."
And so, all of the boys simply went and returned to their homes (minus Ed, who was obviously already home) and just adjusted themselves to bed, or did something else before sleeping, as the whole sudden plan turned out to be quite the failure unfortunately.
But what about the Kankers? Oh boy... well...
Marie... honestly, isn't this kinda obvious? Angry. Mad. And other synonyms you could think of.
May is another story however. Although she saw most, if not all of what occurred, she wasn't sure WHY, or better yet, HOW her sister was talking to Double D and/or Chris. She had no idea what was going on at all, and decided to go home and perhaps talk to Marie about what exactly occurred.
But May probably won't exactly be able to ask. Especially with Marie's anger right now.
As for Lee, her plan completely went downhill, and resulted in failure, as the boys basically moved moved from different places, to the point where she just considered quitting, calling the plan a huge waste of time at that point, as it was getting too confusing for her. Also, oh boy, she is just "slightly" mad at Marie, as Marie basically abandoned the whole plan. She could imagine Marie probably letting her "feelings" for Double D slip. Which sounds very wrong when put that way
As for everyone else...
Everyone simply went to sleep. What else needs to be said really? Actually, hang on a second, what is going on in the Kanker's trailer?
"MARIE!" yelled Lee in her trailer.
"What?!" snapped Marie.
"Where were you?" said a serious Lee.
"None of your business!" said an obviously irritated Marie.
"Marie, if you think-"
Marie just punched Lee in the mouth, before just pushing her away to shut her up, and went to sleep upstairs.
May, who saw that all go down, decided to maybe wait till tomorrow to ask. As asking when Marie is like that is unlikely to be a smart idea.
This "Get This" attitude could become an issue...
