Author's Note: How about 2 chapters back-to-back? Why not? Besides... this is quite the chapter so... enjoy two chapters mostly back-to-back!

Chapter 19: Evil Never Dies

By this point, everyone is sleeping, or, MAYBE you're Ed or Chris, watching a movie, or playing some games. Even then, everyone is mostly tired, as the party at Double D's house was quite the event. From stories shared, to general fun, to music. and many other things, everyone simply was drained, so to say. Although, Marie was one of the few exceptions. She, as you just saw, finished up talking to Double D about several important things to both of them. Currently though, she is walking back to her trailer, surprisingly happy. Then again, she got her dream boy, and basically sealed the relationship... again. Or, in better words, it's basically FOR SURE SURE sealed, as the fact that Double D was willing to still keep this thing between them make her happier than usual. And, one thing is FOR sure too, nothing or no one was gonna rip this relationship apart, as clearly both of them were 110% committed to this. Not 100, 110. Regardless. Marie smiles her head off as she heads towards her trailer, and along the way she has several things on her mind about Double D, to the point where it seemed like she got to the trailer in half a second. It was like a 5 to 10 minute walk. But either way, home sweet home. Although... the sweet part might not be 100% true.

Marie enters her home, and May asks her,

"Where were you Marie?"

"Mind your business May!"

May, surprisingly, still remembered what occurred yesterday, when Marie was with Double D and Chris, trying to figure out a plan to make May happy, but... yeah that's practically non-existent at this point. Either way, May had to figure out what was up.

"Marie! I have to talk to you!"

"About what?! You messed up your hair!?"

"No! Shhh! Lee is not really in the mood..."

That is true, because Lee is still recovering, granted she is not like, close to death or anything, let's relax lads. She is simply restoring herself for now. Anyways, Marie says,

"This better not be stupid. I'll beat ya if this is."

And so, the blonde haired and blue haired Kanker sisters went up to the bedroom, and so, May asked,

"What were you doing with Double D and Chris that day?"

Marie was shocked. How in the heck did May find out about this? She wasn't there at all! Little did Marie know that when she screamed INSANELY loudly, May heard that, and recognized that it was Marie was screamed. Marie, wanting answers, said.

"How in the heck do you know about that?"

"You screamed loudly and it kinda scared me! I had to see what you were doing! And I saw you with them!"

"May, do not tell Lee about this. If you do, I will actively make you fight Chris, and I'll tie your hands, and make sure he does not hold back, GOT IT?"

"Relax! Jeez... do you have to be that rough?"

Marie's little blackmail was... not very smart to say, because... well... you know what she doesn't. Anyways, Marie begins to explain,

"Remember that day that the boys did that stupid stunt? Yeah, I went to Double D to talk about it, and he revealed the truths. About how Eddy and Chris made up the stunt, and during that, I explained how you got hurt to Double D, and he offered to try and help. He then tried to talk to Chris, and after some convincing, Chris joined. We then went to Ed's house to convince him to tell you that the whole stunt wasn't his idea, but Eddy wouldn't stop talking, and I had to shut him up. But I left afterwards, as I was too angry to continue the whole plan. That's the basic story."

"So it's true? Ed didn't do the stunt?"

"Did Double D tell you or something?"

"No. Chris sneaked in here earlier today and I THINK he had your diary. I caught him and he explained everything. But I don't know what his plan is now to help me with Ed."

Marie was shocked, as because Chris basically hid everything, but of course Double D was purely honest about this stuff. Marie tells May,

"Double D told me the whole thing about the diary. I'll save you the details and say that Chris was meant to return it. I see that he did. Good."

May says, "He promised to help me out with Ed, but is he even gonna do it now?"

"Relax May! It's most likely not you or me he has a problem with, it's Lee. And... she has an issue with him. So, this might be hard, but wait for a while until he gets this fixed, alright? Surprisingly, he has listened. But... he better pray that his moves and tricks don't fail him..."

Marie and May laughed a bit, before May said,

"Where did you go earlier though? I tried to find you earlier today, but you went somewhere. Did you go to Double D's? Hmmm...?"

May said that in a playful tone, as if to make fun of Marie, but Marie... well, she decides to tell May about the relationship between her and Double D. But this could be a bad choice on her part, let's see.

"Me and him are... well..."

"Wait... he's dating you?!"

"Yes. KEEP. QUIET. He basically poured his heart's honesty to me, and I honestly couldn't believe he revealed everything. The diary, the whole schemes, and then he revealed the whole plan then. I... well, kissed him in a little bit too quickly, but he GAVE IT BACK! And then, he actually asked me to be his girlfriend, which of course I said yes, and that's how it started." Marie explained to her sister.

May could hardly believe those words that Marie said, because May always knew that Double D was WAY WAY too much of a shy dude to even look at Marie without wanting to move to Nepal or something. Marie then says,

"I know, hard to believe."

May then says, "But who knows about this? Of course Double D, but does Eddy or Ed know?"

"Those two and Chris. Plus... you now too. Me and him agreed however to keep this under 'public view' as he would most likely say. But trust me, he's a really great guy. At least to me."

May says, "What's the plan now? We don't have any time today to really do anything. I just hope Lee doesn't make us do something dangerous..."

"She can't anyways. Don't tell her I said this, but she needs to stop acting so irrational. I stopped doing that with Double D, and looked what occurred! Plus, it's honestly getting old, we are now what, 15? This is just getting old."

"Lee is actually 16, but I suppose you make sense..."

"See!? But when she gets back up to speed, what is she gonna make us do? Whatever it is, please tell me I can count on you not joining her...?"

May, without even a hint of reluctance, says,

"Yes. Of course."

Although, this whole little thing about not joining Lee in whatever scheme she might in mind is likely to be for naught. Why? Because downstairs, Lee yells,

"GIRLS! GET DOWN HERE!"

May and Marie are slightly concerned by that scream, because whenever Lee yells like that, it's usually not anything that could be considered within the realm of "good". But the two sisters are forced to see what Lee wants, because not responding to her usually results in her getting angry. And so, they both go downstairs, to see Lee, while injured, can still do her basic tasks really. Then again, it's not like she needed help from her sisters, even when they intitally came back from the fight. Either way, Marie decides to speak to Lee first, by saying,

"What the heck do you want?"

"Watch your tone Marie, and... it's time for payback."

This cannot be good, both Marie and May thought to each other simultaneously.

"Those boys think they have it all perfect? Well... time to make their lives a bit harder."

"By doing... what?" asked May.

"Because now that both of you are here and fully ready, I now have the perfect plan for a little payback. Since it's now their little bedtime, we now have a basis for a good attack."

Let's just say what she is saying, she is planning to redo that plan of kidnapping the Eds again, just with all 3 sisters doing it this time.

"Lee, this plan failed last time! Why do you-"

"BECAUSE YOU LEFT DURING THE PLAN ONE-EYED BUG! NOW, LISTEN, OR YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET IT!"

Uh oh...

"Get some ropes ready. We leave now, before we don't have any more time. Got. IT?"

At this point, while both Marie and May swore to not doing any bidding for Lee, as they both mutually agreed that this whole thing was just getting out of hand now, they had no choice, or else who knows what Lee could do. Besides, she was clearly not happy AT ALL. So, no choice for the most part, unfortunately. However, Marie says,

"How much rope?"

"For 3."

Yep. The EXACT same plan as in Chapters 11-13. The only change this time is that it's mainly just for revenge, and also May is now in this. Marie was severely reluctant to do this, but again... what choice does she have? However, she is going to do a secret trick behind Lee's back, which is basically to leave a note for someone to help her. Whoever this person might be... it better be someone who can help, because this is most likely to get ugly. Either way, she gets a piece of paper and begins writing a little thing detailing what is going on. This piece of paper is most likely going to Double D, as he is the one she likely trusts with this information, but we shall see soon.

The sisters are now ready to execute the plan,..

(10:45 PM) The 3 sisters are now in the cul-de-sac, and Lee tells her sisters to get their Ed. So, Lee will get Eddy, Marie gets Double D, and May gets Ed. Simple, ain't it? Either way, Marie goes to Double D, and oh boy... it just isn't the same. Marie decides to kidnap Double D in a different way. She first decides to wake him up,

"Marie...? What is...?"

"Hi Double D." She says.

"What time is it? It can't be 12 even..."

"I'm sorry, but Lee has snapped and wanted us to kidnap you. She is going to force this, and if we don't do it..."

"Lee?! Does she..?"

"No. Don't worry. But can you do another act? I know we just did one, but we HAVE to, or else this will end badly. Just act alright?" Marie says.

Double D is very concerned as to what exactly could occur. But he decided to trust his girlfriend, after all, the last act they did didn't end in the WORST manner... but it could've gone better. At least, in his mind.

"I hope I can trust you Marie."

"Thanks sweetie!" Marie says, then she kisses him before saying.

"Oh, yeah... I have to tie you up to make it look convincing. Don't worry okay?"

And so, Double D gets up from his bed, stands up, and Marie just ties him up to where all of, if not most of the rope covers him. Marie simply carries him, but before she gets to the trailer, which is where Lee said to go after the sisters got their Eds, goes to another house.

"Marie... where are we going?"

She simply puts the letter she made into a mailbox for someone.

"We're good. Don't worry."

Double D simply decided to dismiss what she just did, he didn't even understand what was going on fully, and for the most part he was just thinking that the constant events occurring were too ridiculous for him. Either way, to his surprise, May had got Ed, but that wasn't very difficult as he is QUITE the deep sleeper. The thing with May was that, yeah she wanted to stop her attitude too, but this plan had conflicted with her process. She got him, but she just felt bad, as unlike Marie with Double D, she couldn't exactly assure Ed that it was an act, as Ed most likely still thinks she is the same person as say, when they first met. May REALLY wanted to show a change, but this was going to be a LOT more difficult than it appeared. As for Lee, Eddy was also a deep sleeper, so he had not reacted at all to what Lee was doing. It's probably good that Eddy didn't react, as well... the things that Lee could do to him were most likely going to be VERY bad. So... now all three Eds are taken into the trailer, and the sisters just put them next to each other, still tied up and with Ed Eddy still sleeping. Double D of course, while awake, simply didn't comment on anything. Mainly because he had to keep an act with Marie that wasn't fully planned yet, but also because he couldn't believe that the Kankers... or more like Lee, stooped down to this level. Before the sisters leave to go to bed themselves, Marie winks at Double D for a second, and he smiles a little back at her. However... what exactly is the act or whatever that Marie has in mind?

Well...
