I don't own The Loud House or Ed, Edd n Eddy. -_-
Chapter 2: Scamming with the Eds
It was early morning in Peach Creek, and the sun was just beginning to peak over the horizon. All of the residents in the Cul-De-Sac were blissfully asleep. Including a particular short statured Ed, who was enjoying an unusual dream about himself.
"Why yes, I'll gladly accept 'The Nicest Guy In The World' trophy. Thank you, thank you, I'm just that-"
BOOOOOOM
Suddenly, Eddy's dream was interrupted by a loud noise that came from outside. Eddy quickly shot from his bed and clung to the disco ball that was hanging from the ceiling.
With the noise not stopping, Eddy asked through gritted teeth, "What the heck is that racket!"
The rest of the children were also awoken by the loud sounds. While still wearing their pajamas the kids gathered together in the middle of the Cul-De-Sac. Double-D was the only one who was wearing his standard attire since he is usually always awake before everyone else. The rest of the children, with angry and tired expressions, started to look around for the source.
"Who keeps making that noise!" yelled Sarah.
"What are you dorks up to this time?" questioned Kevin immediately.
"It's not us!" replied Eddy.
"Yup," said Ed.
"Well whatever it is, can't someone like stop it?" asked Nazz.
"Yes, please. The sounds are disturbing Rolf's livestock," pleaded Rolf.
"Me and Plank actually like it," said Johnny as he started to jive to the random sounds.
"Sarah, please make it stop," said Jimmy.
"Okay that's it, you dorks better fess up or I'm gonna pound ya," announced Kevin angrily while clenching his fist.
"Are you deaf or stupid? I already told you it's not us!" responded Eddy.
"Yeah right," said Sarah.
"Um, excuse me," said Double-D, hoping to get everyone's attention.
"WHAT!?"
Double-D then nervously pointed towards the Loud's house. They then realized that all the sounds were coming from inside the house, which they would've noticed if they haven't been too busy yelling at each other.
"You've gotta be kidding me. They're this loud in the morning?!" exclaimed Eddy in slight annoyance.
Ed got excited and started to jump up and down, "Party at the Loud house, party at the Loud house!"
Nazz just giggled at the situation, they are called the Louds after all.
Getting more and more furious, Sarah finally erupts, "That's it! I'm giving them a piece of my mind!"
Double-D quickly steps in front of her, stopping her march towards the house. "No! Wait, Sarah! This is just probably how they always are in the mornings. We can't tell them to stop, remember it's our job to make them feel welcomed here." Double-D began to nervously sweat as he tried to calm Sarah down.
She still seemed angry as she glared at him.
"Please," pleaded Double-D with a nervous smile.
"Fine, whatever," responded Sarah before walking away, causing Double-D to let out a sigh of relief.
'Besides, this way they'll be able to wake up early instead of 9 o'clock.' He thought as a small smile grew on his face.
With tired eyes, Eddy looked back at the house with one thought in mind.
'That's the last time I do something nice,' as he could clearly hear the electric guitar being used.
(In the Loud house)
It was absolute chaos. Lori was busy talking to her boyfriend, Bobby on the phone. Leni was being chased by Luan with a fake spider. Luna was shredding her guitar in the garage. Lynn was playing a solo game of basketball on roller skates. Lucy was reciting her new poems. The twins Lana and Lola were fighting. Lisa was busy mixing dangerous chemicals, which caused a few explosions. Lily was walking around the house without her diaper on. And Lincoln was trying to make it to the bathroom in one piece.
Yup, it indeed was a typical morning in the Loud House. Even though many of the neighbors found the ruckus unbearable, two people couldn't be happier.
Hearing their house filled with noise again brought joy to Rita and Lynn Sr. They were in the kitchen busy making breakfast for their large family.
Rita and Lynn Sr. couldn't thank the neighbors enough, because of them their children are back to their regular old selves. And for that, they're truly grateful.
After Lincoln left the bathroom, he couldn't help but smile at the surrounding noise as well.
'Yup, it's good to see that everything's back to normal,' he thought, but then he realized something, "Wait, when did Luna get a new guitar?"
Being overcome by curiosity Lincoln decided to ask his sister himself. When he entered the garage, he found Luna bobbing her head up and down, still fully indulged in her music. Lincoln slowly walked up next to her and tried to get her attention.
"Hey uh… Luna," Luna didn't immediately notice her brother, so she continued to play. Knowing that there's no stopping her once she's in the zone, Lincoln decided to wait. After a full minute, Luna finally finished her song.
"Thank you Loud house!" she shouted as she did her rock-pose.
After her pose she started to hear clapping, she turned around and saw Lincoln who was applauding her.
"Hey little bro. How long have you been standing there?" Luna asked.
"Not long, I just wanted to ask you something," he answered.
"Okay, shoot."
"Where did you get that guitar? I don't remember any of the kids bringing you one last night," he asked, which caused a small smirk to grow on Luna's face.
She answered the question while ruffling his hair, "Sorry dude, a girl's gotta have her secrets."
Before Lincoln could ask again, he caught something at the corner of his eyes. Past Luna on Luan's bed he saw a puppet, a puppet that looked very familiar. The appearance of the doll caused Lincoln to raise an eyebrow and tilt his head.
'Why does that puppet look like Ed-'
KNOCK KNOCK
A sudden loud knock at the front door interrupted Lincoln's thoughts.
"I'll get it!" once again driven by curiosity, Lincoln went to answer the door himself. When he opened the door, he was greeted by the three Eds themselves.
"Good morning Lincoln."
"Hiya Lincoln."
"Hey, Link."
"Oh hi, guys, what's up?" Lincoln asked.
Eddy answered that question in a rather fast paste, "There's no time to waste kid I just got the best idea for a new scam, and we need your help! So come on let's go!"
"Wait? Scam?" responded Lincoln with a raised eyebrow, but he quickly shook it off, "Look, guys, I'd love to hang out with you, but we're about to have breakfast. Can't we wait until later to-"
"Nope," exclaimed Eddy as he grabbed Lincoln's arm and dragged him away. The other two Eds followed them.
"Wow, Eddy! What's the rush?!" Lincoln asked with a slight tone of panic in his voice.
"The sooner we get started the better, and besides. This is payback for waking me up in the morning," this answered caused Lincoln to give Eddy a deadpan look.
Double-D caught up to Eddy and was running next to Lincoln, "I do apologize for this Lincoln," he said.
All Lincoln could do was roll his eyes. Still, he was excited that he could spend time with his new friends.
'What's the worst that can happen?'
(later that day)
The Eds and Lincoln were in the forest and Eddy had given them the critical job of collecting rocks, while he would just sit on a log and supervise them.
Lincoln and Double-D were struggling to carry their piles of rocks.
"So guys, please tell me. Why are we doing this?" Lincoln asked while struggling to carry his rocks.
Eddy was more than happy to answer his question, "I'm glad you asked Lincoln, my boy. It's really quite simple. We're gonna take these rocks and paint them so that they would look like real gemstones. Then we'll sell them to everyone as jewelry. This'll be the best scam ever since girls love jewelry, and you have ten sisters!" yelled Eddy in excitement.
"I'm telling ya boys, tonight we'll be swimming in jawbreakers," said Eddy as his mouth started to water.
Double-D grew a bit irritated as his legs started to give way to the weight of the rocks, "This… would go a lot… faster… if you'd just… give us a hand Eddy!"
"No problem Sockhead," replied Eddy as he proceeded to clap his hands.
"Wait, this is the line of work you mentioned yesterday? Scamming people?" Lincoln asked in disbelief.
"Yup," replied Eddy with pride, causing Lincoln to give him another deadpan look.
Lincoln then turned towards Double-D, "Why are you friends with him exactly?"
"Believe me Lincoln, I ponder that question every day," Double-D answered through gritted teeth.
"LOOK OUT BELOW!"
BAM
Suddenly out of nowhere a giant boulder landed amongst the group of three. The impact caused Double-D and Lincoln to lose balance and fall to the ground. Right after the rock landed, Ed came out of the woods and ran towards it.
Ed stood next to it and then he turned towards Eddy while showing his goofy grin, "Look what I found Eddy, it's a rock."
"Wow, way to go Lumpy! We'll get some big bucks for this thing!" exclaimed Eddy while patting Ed's head.
The boulder was twice Ed's size, so Eddy truly believed they would get a lot of money if they could sell it.
While picking themselves up from the ground, Lincoln turned towards Double-D with an unamused look, "Do these things ever work?"
"Hardly,"
(an hour later)
All of the children were now busy playing in the Cul-De-Sac, completely forgetting about the "loud" awakening they had earlier. Lori, Leni, and Nazz were just at the side-walk busy talking about fashion and other girl stuff, with Lori occasionally texting to Bobby while holding Lily. Luna was wearing her headphones, and she was busy enjoying her tunes. Luan was pestering everyone with her puns. Kevin, Rolf, and Lynn were playing a game of soccer, with Lynn winning of course. Lucy was under a tree, busy writing a new poem in her book.
"Hey Luce, whatcha doing?" asked Johnny as he appeared out of nowhere, hanging upside down from one of the branches.
Lucy answered in her usual monotone voice, "I'm writing my deepest darkest thoughts of suffering and anguish in the form of a poem. Want to hear?"
"Sure, me and Plank love poems. Isn't that right buddy?"
"…(ahem)...Darkness, every day I felt its pain inside me as it twirled.
I felt greater pain when it swept away my world.
Darkness, now standing stronger with new might.
Was overtaken by a small glimmer of light.
Darkness, it is never truly gone.
It will always rise, just like a new dawn.
Darkness, even if everyone is singing and dancing.
It will always be smiling."
There was a moment of awkward silence between the two before Johnny responded.
"Neat," he said with an oblivious smile.
"Hey Johnny I was looking for you!" exclaimed Luan as she ran towards Johnny and Lucy.
Johnny suddenly grew nervous, "Oh no, it's her. Run for it Plank!" he yelled as he jumped out of the tree and ran away.
Lana was busy rolling in a pile of mud with Rolf's pig Wilfred. Sarah, Jimmy, and Lola were playing with their dolls. Lisa was taken notes of the foliage surrounding the area.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Eds' Gem Emporium is now open!" yelled Eddy.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the poorly constructed stand at the sidewalk was the Eds and Lincoln were standing at. The wooden stand was painted in plain white with a sign above it that read 'Eds' Gem Emporium' in red paint.
On the stand were all the different rocks they've collected earlier, only this time they were painted in bright colours, and some were covered in glitter. And the giant boulder stood next to the stand wholly covered in red glitter.
All the children were now surrounding the stand to see what was going on.
"Behold our wide selection of rare and priceless gemstones," said Eddy as he gestured to the stones, trying to persuade his customers.
"Look Sarah they're beautiful," said Jimmy.
"I'll say they are," she responded.
"These will make great gifts for Nanna," said Rolf.
"This will look totes adorable with my dress," said Leni while inspecting one of the stones.
"I heard some of these things bring good luck, so I definitely want one," said Lynn.
"Wait, like how much do they cost," Nazz asked.
"These may be priceless, but for a once in a lifetime deal you can have your own for 50 cents each!" exclaimed Eddy as he placed a '50 cents' sign on the counter next to an empty jar.
Immediately the kids started buying the stones and gave the Eds and Lincoln their money.
Lynn leaned on the stand and asked, "Hey Lincoln, do you think you can give us a family discount?"
"Sorry Lynn, I can't do that," Lincoln answered. Lynn then gave him a death glare, and she began to crack her knuckles.
Sweating nervously Lincoln quickly changed his answer, "I mean sure, how does 50% off sound?"
"50! That's almost half! No way, I'm not gonna-"
"Hey," said a feminine voice, interrupting Eddy's outburst.
Lori leaned over the counter and spoke in a somewhat seductive tone, "It would literally mean a lot to me if we can get a discount."
Eddy began to grow bright red and started to sweat nervously, "U…Um… sure, why not?" he said with a nervous smile.
"Great, thank you," said Lori.
And after a few minutes, everyone now owned their own stones, and the jar was almost full of quarters, causing Eddy to grow a massive smile on his face.
Lincoln observed everyone and noticed that none of them seemed displeased.
'Maybe nothing bad will happen,' he thought as he shrugged his shoulders. At that moment he suddenly remembered about the puppet on Luan's bed.
He turned towards Eddy before asking, "Oh Eddy I almost forgot. Earlier today I saw on Luan's bed a puppet that-"
"Ahem,"
The boys' attention was now drawn to the only two people who didn't buy anything. Standing in front of them with their arms folded were Lisa and Lola, and they were giving the boys an unamused look.
"Aww it's the other Sarah and the other Double-D," said Ed as he proceeded to ruffle their hairs.
Ed flinched when Lola spoke, "Touch me again, and you'll be sorry."
"I'd also prefer if you didn't make physical contact with my protein filament," said Lisa. Ed didn't really understand her, but he decided to retract his hand.
"How can we help you two?" Double-D asked.
"Cut the act already," said Lola.
Lincoln once again began to sweat nervously, "What are you talking about?"
"Oh come now brother, Lola is a beauty queen, and I'm far more intelligent than the average juvenile. Thus we can differentiate between semi-precious stone and the common surface minerals you four are selling," explained Lisa in her stoic tone.
Eddy tilted his head to the side a bit and gave Lisa a confused look. He then turned towards Double-D, "English Sockhead,"
Double-D answered with a worried tone, "They know these are fake."
"Oooohhhh,"
Lincoln looked down at the ground in defeat, "Oh we're so dead."
"Relax, it's not like everyone's gonna find out," said Eddy.
Lisa then looked at her watch and began to count down, "4, 3, 2, 1 and…"
"Sarah look!"
"What the heck!"
"What sort of tomfoolery has plagued Rolf!?"
"This is not cool dudes!"
"We've been hoodwinked Plank!"
The boys started to notice the commotion that was happening around them, and they saw all the dissatisfied customers coming towards them. They then looked back at the two Loud siblings who were giving them a quirky smile.
"Next time I suggest you use glue and paint that won't dissolve when in contact with sweaty palms," said Lisa as she adjusted her glasses.
"Why you little-"
Before the boys knew it, they were surrounded by the angry customers.
"Give me back my money or face forces that are beyond your comprehension!"
"Rolf agrees with Witch-girl Lucy, return Rolf's money!"
"That wasn't cool little bro, give me back my dough!"
"Give us back our money dorks, or heads are gonna roll!"
"Yeah!"
"That really was a boulder move guys, hahahahahaha. Get it? But seriously give me back my money."
Eddy just scoffed at them and said, "What do we look like a bank? No refunds."
SOUND OF KNUCKLES CRACKING
(1 minute and 45 seconds later)
The Ed's and Lincoln were walking down one of the lines, battered, bruised and penniless. Eddy with his back hunched and clenched fists lead the group.
He was busy mumbling angry threats to himself, "Stupid Pointdexter. If I ever get a chance, I'm gonna-"
"Now Eddy you know it wasn't her fault," said Double-D who overheard his friends mumbling.
Eddy shouted back in annoyance, "Shut up Sockhead, I'm not in the mood!"
Lincoln and Double-D were walking next to each other, while Ed was a few meters behind them without a care in the world.
"Well, that could've gone better. Does this sort of thing happen a lot?" Lincoln asked the smartest person in the group.
"I'm afraid so, this sort of thing happens on a daily basis,"
In response Lincoln gave Double-D a perplexed look, "I don't get it, are those jawbreakers really worth it? Doing this sort of stuff every day just to get beaten up every time, and still be friends with him? Why would you continue to do this? I'm sure there are other things you'd want to do."
A moment of silence fell on the two boys as they continued to walk. Double-D gave him a smile before answering-
GRRRROOOOOOWWWLLL
Everyone stopped walking and turned towards the white-haired boy.
He placed his hands on his stomach and gave the Eds a sheepish smile, "Sorry, I didn't have breakfast, so I'm kinda hungry."
"Mmmm, you know I think that's a capital idea Lincoln. I'm quite peckish myself," responded Double-D.
Ed then grabbed Double-D and Lincoln into a bear hug as he exclaimed with joy, "Yay! Food for Ed, food for Ed!"
"Fine whatever, I got nothing better to do," said Eddy as he shrugged his shoulders.
Lincoln was trying to get out of Ed's grip as he asked, "I could really use some energy right now. Do you guys have a bakery around here or something?"
That's when a light bulb turned on in his head, "That's it guys, why don't we have a bake sale!? If there's one thing I know about my sisters, it's that they're well-known chocoholics, and they have a huge sweet tooth. So maybe we can bake some pastries and sell it to them," he said with enthusiasm.
Ed then started to spin around with excitement, "Oh oh that's better! Sweets for Ed, sweets for Ed!"
While also struggling to get out of Ed's grip Double-D responded, "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give it a try."
"No way!" was all Eddy said.
This caused Ed to let go of his friends and give Eddy the sad puppy dog eyes, "But Eddy, we were gonna bake cupcakes."
"I'm all for eating cupcakes Lumpy, but there's no way a lame-o scam like that's gonna work. We need to come up with something better," Eddy then folded his arms turned his back towards his friends.
Lincoln felt offended by this, sure it wasn't the best idea in the world, but it was at least decent.
Luckily Double-D spoke before Lincoln could retort, "Very well Eddy we'll try something else, but remember what happened last time you didn't listen to someone's idea. Need I remind you the Jimmy incidents?"
Eddy's eyes immediately went wide in shock.
"What are we waiting for boys? Let's get baking, to Double-D's house!" said Eddy as he ran away.
Ed soon followed right behind him while yelling, "I'm in my happy place, Eddy!"
Lincoln wasn't sure what just happened, so he turned to Double-D for answers.
Double-D gave him a smile and said, "You're welcome."
(At Double-D's house)
The scene in the kitchen can be best described as a chaotic scene from a Food Network show. Flour was all over the counters and floor, empty cartons were scattered, and random ingredients were everywhere, much to Double-D's dismay.
Double-D and Lincoln were wearing stained aprons over their clothes, and they were busy making the batter for the next batch of cupcakes.
Eddy was also making his own batter, but with little success. He ignored all of Double-D's instructions and would just throw in anything in a bowl. He would then just throw the empty boxes anywhere.
Double-D didn't want Ed's unhygienic hands to touch any food items in the kitchen, so he promised that Ed could lick the bowls when they're done. All Ed had to do was stay in the corner and not do anything.
DING
"The cookies are done Eddy, could you please take them out of the oven?" said Double-D while still busy with the batter.
"Let Lincoln get it, I kinda got my hands full right now," answered Eddy as he was punching an ever-growing dough. The dough was now twice his size and had just swallowed his hands.
Eddy then screamed in a panic, "Ed help!"
Ed got excited, "Oh I know what to do!"
He then started jumping on the dough like a trampoline, this action caused the mixture to release Eddy's hands. Not wanting to be left out Eddy soon joined Ed and began jumping on the mix as well.
Double-D shouted in annoyance, "You two better behave yourselves in my kitchen!" But his threat landed on deaf ears.
After retrieving the tray of cookies from the oven, Lincoln couldn't but laugh at the comedic scene.
(Later at the Cul-De-Sac)
"So they like do that sort of stuff every day?" asked Lori.
Nazz replied with shrugged shoulders, "Yup, pretty much dude."
After the scam went wrong, the children went back do to their prior activities. Nazz had informed Lori and Leni that this sort of thing happens all the time. Much to Lori's surprise.
"Personally I'm already tired of them," said Lori while filing her nails.
While holding Lily Leni tried to defend them, "Aw come on they're not that bad. They're also kinda cute, especially the big goofy one."
Lori and Nazz gave her a look but quickly shook it off.
"Well, needless to say, those dudes sure make our lives interesting," said Nazz.
At that moment Lily's nose started to twitch, and she smelled something that brought a huge smile to her face.
She got excited and started to flair her arms up and down, "Choca!"
"What was that Lily?" asked Leni.
"Choca! Choca! Choca!"
Nazz didn't understand what she was doing so she asked Lori, "Is she okay?"
"I don't know, maybe she's-"
Sniff sniff
Lori stopped in mid-sentence when she smelled something heavenly as well.
"Oh, what's that smell?" she asked.
Nazz and Leni started to sniff the air as well, and sure enough, they smelled it too.
Soon all the kids stopped doing their activities and smelled the delightful scent. Before anyone could ask where the smell was coming from their question was answered by a familiar loud voice.
"Come one come all, Eds and friend's bake sale is now open!"
Everyone turned towards Double-D's house. In front of the house were the Eds, Lincoln and a few tables with baked goods and deserts on them. Chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cupcakes, chocolate cake slices, chocolate pudding, etc.
The Cul-De-Sac kids weren't immediately enthusiastic, so they kept their distance from them.
While holding a soccer ball, Kevin gave the Eds a critical glare, "Just what are those dorks up to this time?"
"Maybe the Ed-boys and White-hare boy suffer amnesia since we punished them too hard," answered Rolf.
Kevin let out a mocking chuckle before saying, "I swear they're getting too cocky, right Lynn?"
No response.
"Lynn?"
Kevin looked to his side and saw that Lynn wasn't there, but instead, she and the rest of her siblings were swarming around the delicious treats.
Lincoln put on his salesman routine and tried to bring order to the chaos around them, "Alright ladies, these delicious mouth-watering treats can be yours. All you have to do is pay a measly 5 cents for each snack, and then you can indulge yourself in sweet, savory heaven."
As if on cue the sisters immediately started buying the deserts, which impressed Eddy greatly.
Eddy then wrapped his arm around Lincoln's neck and gave him a proud smile, "You know Kid, you're gonna go far."
"Thanks, Eddy," said Lincoln while returning a smile.
The Loud sisters were now thoroughly enjoying themselves as they savored every bite from their deserts.
"Wow, this is literally amazing!" exclaimed Lori.
"Totally! Did you guys make these?" asked Lana.
"Oh it was mostly me and Lincoln that bake everything," Double-D answered with a shy smile.
"Actually it was Double-D's recipe. I was just following his instructions," said Lincoln as he pointed towards Double-D with his thumb.
Double-D began to get a bit embarrassed as tried to respond, "Well… yes but… it's nothing really…"
"Nice dude, you can play wicked tunes, and you can bake awesome desserts. Whoever is your main squeeze is one lucky lady," said Luna who was now standing next to him, which caused him to grow bright red.
"Yeah nice job loser," said Lynn before she playfully punched his arm.
"I gotta say this was really sweet of you guys, hahahahaha," said Luan which caused her two sisters to groan, "Get it?"
Being surrounded by three girls was just too much for Double-D to handle. So he quickly and quietly walked away from the group.
'Why did they have to be girls!?'
As he was walking away, he noticed someone was lying on the ground. It was Lisa, she was laying on her back and around her were 10 cupcake wrappers.
"Lisa, have you already eaten 10 cupcakes!?" he asked in utter disbelief.
She then shrugged and answered in her stoic voice, "Hey, I'm only human."
"Say Ed, did you make anything?" asked Leni before taking a bite out of a cookie.
With a goofy grin, he answered, "I licked the bowls."
"Cool."
The other kids grew less suspicious when they saw the Loud sisters enjoying themselves, and they decided to join in. After a few minutes, all of the treats were sold.
Lincoln watched everyone as he saw how happy they were. He felt proud that his idea actually worked, making people happy and getting money while doing it. That's when a realization struck him.
'I forgot to keep a few cupcakes for myself!'
"Hey Link,"
Lincoln then turned towards Eddy who was walking up to him.
Eddy then gave Lincoln two cupcakes as he said, "Here ya go, I swiped them earlier when Double-D wasn't looking."
"Gee thanks!" said Lincoln as he was more than happy to accept the cupcakes. He immediately started to scarf them down without hesitation, but Eddy didn't mind.
Eddy then picked up the full jar of money and gave it a little shook, enjoying the sweet sound of victory.
'Jawbreakers here we come.'
While enjoying her cookie, Lana saw something that made her a bit concerned.
She then walked towards Rolf and tugged on his pants before asking, "Uuuh Rolf, what's wrong with Wilfred."
Rolf was confused by this question, but when he saw said pig it made him more confused. Wilfred was busy squealing and running around in circles while dragging his rear on the ground.
Rolf walked towards him and asked, "Wilfred have you been eating Papa's secret beats again… wait."
Rolf pulled out a cooked chicken leg and placed it towards his ear. After a few seconds, Rolf suddenly grew a fearful expression.
In the blink of an eye he quickly grabbed Wilfred and ran away screaming, "RUN FOR YOUR MISERABLE LIFE, IMMORTAL DOOM IS COMING!"
…..
Everyone just stood silent for a few seconds, not really knowing how to respond to what just happened.
Lincoln would be the one to break the silence,"Okay, that was weird."
After Lincoln's words, everyone started to hear giggling.
Evil giggling.
All of the Cul-De-Sac residents started to panic and run towards their homes, dropping all of their desserts on the ground.
"Run for it, Jimmy!"
"I'm trying Sarah!"
"Make like a branch buddy!"
"I'm outta here man!"
"Not cool dudes!"
The Louds remained stationary, now more confused than before. Lincoln turned towards the Eds, hoping for an explanation. But they were acting similarly.
"What do we do Double-D?! What we do?!" exclaimed Eddy as he ran back and forth between his friends.
"I don't know Eddy! We should hide, but they could be anywhere!"
Lincoln cocked his head to the side as he raised an eyebrow, "They? Who are you guys-"
Suddenly Ed grabbed Lincoln at the shoulders and said with great fear, "Save yourself Lincoln!"
Then Ed with all his strength he threw Lincoln at the sky in a random direction. Lincoln let out a scream as he flew through the air before he disappeared from view after a few seconds.
"LINCOLN!" screamed the sisters in dread.
"ED!" screamed Eddy and Double-D.
"Ed you just launched Lincoln through the stratosphere without any concern of where he'll end up! How could you do such a thing?!" Double-D asked with anger and fear in his tone.
Ed answered with a blissful smile, "Aw it was easy Double-D, I just threw him."
Before Double-D could retort he and the Eds were surrounded by the now angry Loud sisters.
"Oh you guys are so dead," said Lynn, who would've complimented Ed on the great throw if she wasn't livid.
"If our brother is not alright I will literally turn you all into human pretzels!" threatened Lori.
"Ooo yummy, I would like two please," said Ed while licking his lips.
The Louds continued to threaten the Eds, causing them to become more fearful of the sisters and completely forgetting about their prior anxiety.
Double-D hesitantly tried to defuse the sisters' anger by saying, "N…now ladies pl…please calm down. I'm sure Lincoln will be alright. Hopefully."
Feeling almost just as scared as Double-D, Eddy thought to himself, 'Geesh I don't know who's scarier, these girls or them.'
"Hiya boys,"
'Definitely them,'
The Loud sisters turned around, and standing a few feet behind them they saw three girls.
The girl on the left had straight blond hair that passed her shoulders, buck teeth and freckles on her cheeks. She wore a gray T-shirt, red shorts, and red shoes. Her name is May.
The girl on the right had short blue hair that covered her right eye. She wore a dark green wristband on her left arm, black shoes, green pants with a pink belt and a black tank-top. Her name is Marie.
And the girl in the middle had large orange curly hair that covered her eyes and freckles on her cheeks. She wore golden earrings, a white tank-top with red polka-dots, blue jeans with a pink belt and purple shoes. Her name is Lee.
Lisa noticed that the Eds had grown silent, so she quickly turned around to see the cause. She then saw that the Eds had become pale and they were staring at the three girls, like dears in a headlight.
Overcome with curiosity she asked in her stoic manner, "And who are these individuals?"
They answered in a fearful tone, "The Kanker Sisters."
Lee started looking around, seeing all the Loud sister staring at them and the deserts on the ground. She picked up a half-eaten cupcake and looked at it with a smile.
She then turned to her sisters, "Would you look at this girls, our boyfriends were having a party without us."
"Man, talk about rude," responded Marie.
"Yeah, but look. They left us a bunch of yummy treats to say sorry," said May as she pointed to all the deserts.
Lee shrugged her shoulders, "Good enough for me," she said before eating the cupcake.
"Ewwwwww, show a little class!" shouted Lola in disgust, catching the Kanker sisters' attention.
"Oh look!" shouted May as she ran towards Lola and picked her up, "Big Ed got me a talking doll!" she said with excitement.
Lola struggled to get out the Kanker's grip as she yelled, "Put me down, or I swear I will bite you!"
"I'm gonna call you Barbie, and we'll be the best of friends," said May while hugging Lola tightly.
"You asked for it,"
CHOMP
"Ow!" said May as she threw Lola to the ground.
May then rubbed her arm, trying to soothe the pain, "No, bad Barbie! You're not supposed to bite me."
"I warned you, didn't I?" said Lola as she dusted herself off.
"Wait one second," said Lee as she finally realized something, "I don't think I've ever seen these gals before."
"Hey yeah you're right, they must be new or something," responded Marie.
"In that case, welcome to Peach Creek!" said Lee before waving to the Louds.
The Louds looked at each other in confusion. Then everyone besides Lola hesitantly waved back.
"We just have two rules here, don't mess with us!" said Lee in a threatening manner.
"And keep your hands off our boyfriends!" finished Marie as she pointed towards the still frozen Eds.
Leni grew a smile and said, "Oh you're their girlfriends? Hey, guys why didn't tell us you had-"
Leni was interrupted by Marie who grabbed her cupcake out of her hand and started eating it.
"Hey um… that was mine," said a disheartened Leni.
Marie responded with a full mouth, "Yeah, so what?"
Lori scoffed as she walked towards the Kanker while holding Lily, "Have you like no manners? That was super rude!"
"Oh I'm sorry, am I too rude for you? Hahahahaha!" she said with a full mouth, causing her to spit up some cupcake in Lori's face.
Luna leaned towards Double-D and asked in a whisper tone, "Are these gals really your girlfriends?"
"No, no they're not."
Marie was laughing at Lori as she tried to wipe her face clean. The laughter stopped when Marie turned around and saw Luna talking with Double-D. She then stormed to the rocker with newfound anger.
"Hey!"
Luna turned around and was quickly grabbed by her shirt with one hand.
"Wow, what's your deal man?" asked Luna the angry Kanker.
"Stay away from my boyfriend!"
"Hey let her go!" yelled Lynn as she ran towards Marie.
With her free hand, Marie stopped the speeding Loud by pushing against her head.
"Hey, what are you doing? Knock it off!" said Lynn as she tried to push the arm back, but with little success.
"Hey Lee, look what I found!" Lee then turned towards May who was standing next to Lucy.
Lee walked towards them with a curious grin, "Well what have ya got here May?"
"Someone who has a hairstyle like you. See, no eyes!" answered May with a smile.
Lucy responded in her monotone voice, "My hair is nothing like yours."
"You're right, but we can fix that," said Lee as she slowly pulled out a pair of scissors from her pocket.
Seeing the scissors, Lucy quickly tried to run away, "Oh no you don't," but she was grabbed by May.
Lucy tried to plead with the Kankers, "No, let me go."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
They both responded by just laughing at the struggling goth.
Hearing that her younger sister was in trouble Lynn immediately turned around and ran towards Lee.
"Just relax Spooky, this won't hurt a-"
THUD
Lynn suddenly tackled her from the side, causing them to fall. Seeing this Marie and May decided to let their victims go and try to help Lee.
"Get off of me squirt!" yelled Lee as she managed to kick Lynn off of her.
The Loud sisters and the Kanker sisters regrouped, and now they were facing each other. Both groups were sending death glares to one another.
Lee was the first one to speak up, "What's the big deal all of a sudden?"
In response, Lily blew her a raspberry, "PFFFFFFT!"
"I agree with our infant sibling, your barbaric behavior towards us is most unwelcome. I suggest you leave before you have to suffer the consequences," said Lisa.
"What?" responded May.
While still glaring at the Kankers Lori said, "We heard your rules, now it's time you hear ours. We're the Louds, and if you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us."
"Is that so?" said Lee as she and her sister readied themselves.
Amongst the tense atmosphere was the Eds, still behind the table.
Eddy whispered to Double-D in a fearful tone, "What are we gonna do Sockhead?"
"I don't know, the situation has definitely become quite dire."
"I don't know about you, but I'm getting outta here with the money."
"You can't be serious Eddy."
"I ain't losing all my money today. Come on Ed let's book it."
"Gotcha Eddy."
Eddy quietly grabbed the jar full of money and attempted to stealthily tiptoe away. Unfortunately, it didn't go unnoticed.
"Hey where do you boys think you're going?" asked Lee in a threatening manner.
All the Eds answered, "Ummm, bathroom?"
(half an hour later)
"Ow… darn it, Ed. What was that all about anyway? I hope they have a good explanation."
Earlier Lincoln had collided with a tree that stopped his flight. Luckily he wasn't too far away from the Cul-De-Sac so he could find his way back.
Currently Lincoln was walking down the lane, mumbling to himself. He only suffered a few scratches from the tree with a few sticks and leaves in his hair, so he wasn't in any pain.
He was just annoyed.
Lincoln finally made it back to the Cul-De-Sac, and he was shocked by what he saw.
In front of Double-D's house were his sisters and the Eds. His sisters were cover in bruises, and they were lying on the ground. Lily wasn't hurt, but she looked at everyone with concern.
The Eds look like they had the worst of it. Their clothes were torn at certain parts, they were covered in bruises, and they were also included in red lipstick marks.
Lincoln was confused, but he was more worried about his family. So he quickly ran to them, to see if he can help.
"Guys, oh my gosh are you-"
"Lincoln!" suddenly he was wrapped in a group hug by his sisters who tried to comfort him as if he was the one in pain.
"Oh Linky we were so worried about you, are you okay?" asked a concerned Leni.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. But what about you guys?"
"Oh don't worry about it, this is nothing," said Lynn who was now bearing a black eye.
"But-"
"Don't worry about Lincoln we're fine," said the oldest sibling, putting her brother's worries at ease.
"I'm glad you guys are okay," said Lincoln.
"Oh don't worry about us, we're just fine! Thanks for asking!" exclaimed Eddy sarcastically as the Eds struggled to stand up.
Lincoln quickly walked to his friends and asked, "Man, what happened to you guys?"
Ed answered, "The Kankers happened, Lincoln. Icky, yucky, bad Kankers." Then he started to shiver, remembering what they did to him.
"Who?"
(one explanation later)
"Wow, that's scary. And all I did was get hit by a tree," said Lincoln after hearing everything that transpired.
"And you wanna know what the worst part is? They took all my money!" screamed Eddy as he started to walk back and forth in a huff, "All that money just gone, taken by those stupid Kankers!"
"Be grateful that we're still alive Eddy," said Double-D.
Eddy retorted, "What's so great about being alive if you don't have a penny to your name!"
Everyone continued to watch Eddy for a few seconds as he continued with his tantrum.
Lincoln then thought to himself, 'Mmm, reminds me of Lola.'
Lincoln quickly shook the thought out of his head and said, "Well what are we waiting for? Let's get the money back."
"Dearest brother, it would be utterly futile to pursue them," said Lisa who was busy fixing the frame of her glasses.
"Those girls are ruthless," said a bruised Lana.
"Yeah dude, there's no way we can stop them," said Luna.
Lincoln pondered for a minute, trying to think of a strategy. "Well, if we can't out muscle them, why don't we try something else, like scaring them. Are they afraid of anything?" he asked.
Eddy stopped his tantrum and answered, "Sorry kid, the Kankers are the definition of fear. There's nothing in this world that can scare them."
Lucy then spoke up, "I can always summon dark spirits to put a curse on them. But honestly, I want to stay away from dark things for a while," she said as she wrapped her arms around herself.
Ed then had an idea, "My mom says my ingrown toenail is really scary, wanna look?"
"NO!"
Lincoln pondered again, trying to think of something else. That's when it hit him.
"I've got it, but I'm gonna need bait. Is there something that's really important to them?" asked Lincoln.
There were a few moments of silence until Double-D answered.
"Well, there's one thing..."
(Later)
Close to a river at the edge of the woods, the Kankers were enjoying their spoils.
"Man those cupcakes sure were good," said Marie after she finished her last cupcake.
May also added, "And we had fun teaching those new kids a lesson."
"You said it May, no one messes with the Kanker sisters! And the best part is," Lee then held up the money jar and lightly shook it, "We got a ton of cash too."
"Oh, what are we gonna spend it on?" asked Marie.
May was quick with a suggestion, "How about some beauty products? I wanna look super cute for big Ed."
"Forget about it, I need new clothes to impress my man!" said Marie.
"Beauty products!"
"New clothes!"
"Beauty products!"
"New clothes!"
"Beauty products!"
"New clothes!"
"GIRLS SHUT UP!" yelled Lee, silencing the squabbling girls. "I'm in charge here, and I've decided that we-"
"Ahem!"
The Kankers' attention was now drawn to a white-haired boy, who stood a few meters away with his arms behind his back. He gave them a determined and slightly afraid look.
"What's up with the grandpa?" asked May.
Lee shrugged, "Beats me."
"I'm not a grandpa I'm 11 years old," responded Lincoln.
"Sure, and I'm the queen of Albuquerque," said Marie.
"Ha, good one Marie," complimented Lee.
Lincoln then proceeded to ask, "I assume you're the Kanker sisters?"
May then answered, "Yeah, what's it to ya?"
"Well, you did beat up my sisters and stole my friends' money. So I'm here to get even," explained Lincoln.
Lee started to pound her fist into her other hand, "Oh a tough guy, are we? Well, this should be-"
"Wait a minute, which one was your sister?" asked Marie.
Lincoln answered the question after some hesitation, "Um, all of them."
Not really believing him the Kankers look at each other, making sure they all heard the same thing.
Lee quickly brushed it off and said, "Whatever, say your prayers, old man!"
The Kankers slowly advanced towards Lincoln.
He took a step back and said with an assertive tone, "I wouldn't come close if I were you."
"And why's that?" asked May.
Lincoln then gave them a sly grin as he said, "You took something from my friends, so I just took something from you."
He then revealed what he was hiding, the Kankers' eyes became as wide as dinner plates.
"OUR SHIP IN A BOTTLE!"
Indeed, in Lincoln's hand, he held a ship in a bottle. And that was all it took to get the Kankers beyond mad.
"GIVE IT BACK!"
"Uh oh!"
Lincoln ran into the forest, hoping to outrun the mad girls. With many years of running from his sisters and chaos, he felt a bit at ease knowing that he would have a lead on them. But as he ran, he quickly looked back and saw that the Kankers were only a few feet away, and gaining fast.
"Oh no," said Lincoln to himself, becoming rapidly nervous. But luckily for him, he was at the right spot.
"Quick catch!" he yelled as he flung the bottle in a random direction, causing the Kankers to stop and watch in fear.
Their ship in a bottle was about to be smashed, and they can't stop it.
But before it could hit the ground, Ed came out of nowhere and caught the bottle.
He then ran away screaming in an accent, "DO U KNOW DA WAE!?"
"Ed, give it back!" said a disheartened May.
"Let's just get him!" order Lee as they began their chase again.
Ed was in near panic as he ran in random directions trying to stay ahead. And since Ed's route was unpredictable, the Kankers struggled to keep up. With a reasonable distance between them, Ed then threw the bottle to someone else.
"Hot potato Double-D!"
Double-D quickly caught the bottle and placed it in his slingshot.
"Okay Eddward, just remember to breathe and stay calm. Stay calm, stay calm," said Double-D to himself as he began to aim in a random direction.
Just as the Kankers were breathing down his neck, Double-D launched the bottle, sending it hurtling through the forest.
The Kankers were too focused on the bottle, so they completely ignored him as they ran past.
Double-D let out a sigh of relief before passing out.
The Kankers ran frantically around, trying to see where the bottle landed.
"Where the heck did that thing-"
SPLAT
"Aaah gross what is this thing!?" screamed Lee when a round object collided with her face.
The object then fell to the ground, revealing to be a full diaper.
The Kankers plugged their noses and took a few steps back.
"HAHAHAHAHA," The Kankers then looked to the side and saw Lisa and a naked Lily.
"Take that you miscreants!" yelled Lisa, before she picked up Lily and disappeared into the forest.
Lee then shuddered in disgust and said, "Aww gross, that thing touched my face!"
"Stop being such a baby!" exclaimed Marie.
SPLAT
"Ah! My hair!"
Suddenly the Kankers were met with a barrage of mud balls flying towards them. They tried to take cover, but the mud was relentless.
The Kankers were now covered in mud, much to their disgust. After wiping away the dirt, the sisters saw the person responsible.
Standing a reasonable distance away was the tomboy Lana, who gave them a cocky smirk while holding a mud ball.
"You little pig, you're dead!" yelled Marie as the Kankers charged towards her.
Lana didn't seem fazed by this, as she continued to smirk at them.
While running the Kankers accidentally stepped on a trip wire, this caused a giant bag above them to open and spill out all its contents on them.
The Kankers were engulfed in a pink cloud, causing them to cough violently. When the cloud dispersed it revealed that the Kankers were covered in pink glitter.
"THAT'S FOR RUINING MY DRESS!" yelled an angry Lola in the distance.
After a few seconds of struggle, the Kankers finally managed to open their eyes. After looking around for a few seconds May spotted the bottle to her side, it was lying on the ground.
May got excited and pointed to the bottle, "Hey guys there it is!"
Grabbing her sisters' attention, they both looked towards her direction and grew excited when they saw that their bottle was still intact.
"Good going May," said Lee as the three walked towards it, "Now we can finally take it home and- AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Before they could reach it, they fell into a pit that was covered by leaves. Lee hit the ground first then her sisters followed by landing on her.
"Get off of me!" she yelled as she pushed her siblings aside.
She stood up to see how deep the pit was. They weren't too far from the top, it was only around twice her height.
Lee got really angry when she saw a familiar face looking down at them from the surface, it was Lucy.
"You have no idea how good that felt," she said in her monotone voice before disappearing. She might not have shown a smile on her face, but inside she was smiling like crazy.
"This is getting ridiculous, come on girls!" exclaimed Lee as she started to climb up. Marie and May stumbled a bit over each other but quickly joined Lee.
Lee's upper body was out of the pit when she was greeted by another Loud.
'You gotta be kidding,'
Standing in front of her was the sports girl herself, Lynn. She held the bottle under her right arm like a football.
She gave the struggling Kanker an arrogant smirk and said, "Looking for something?"
"Give me the bottle shrimp, or I'm gonna give you another black eye!" said Lee through gritted teeth.
"Okay, but you have to catch me first!" and with that Lynn suddenly took off, leaving the Kankers in her dust.
With newfound adrenaline, the Kankers quickly got themselves out of the pit and gave chase.
Lynn was fast, but she knew the Kankers would eventually catch up. Good thing her turn was coming up.
After a few seconds, Lynn led the Kankers to the lane where they continued the chase. Lynn took a sharp left, out of sight for short second. The Kankers followed her without hesitation, but when they turned left…
WOAAAAAAAAAH!
CRASH
All three of them stepped on banana peels and slid across the lane, eventually colliding with the fens.
Luan then poked her head out of a corner and said, "I must say that was very 'a-peeling,' hahahahaha! Get it?"
"That's it!" screamed Marie as she and her sisters charged towards the comedian.
When the Kankers turned around the corner, they immediately stopped.
Standing in front of them was a giant speaker, which seemed to be made out of random objects. Standing on top of the speaker was the one and only Luna Loud herself with her new guitar.
"You ready to rock dudes!" she yelled before strumming the strings.
BOOOOOM
The speaker sent out a sound-wave which blasted the Kankers, sending them crashing through another fence.
Feeling slightly dazed and deaf, May was the first to sit up and see the next sister.
Standing a few feet away was Leni and she gave them a smile before saying, "Hi guys, I got your ship thingy."
"The dumb blonds got our ship in a bottle!" said May while pointing at Leni. This caused her sisters to immediately sit up and look at the said Loud.
They all yelled, "GET HER!"
"Uh oh."
The chase was on again, and Leni was hoping to herself that this plan was going to work. She felt the angry gazes of the sisters getting closer and closer.
Leni spotted a trashcan at the side and felt as if a huge weight was lifted from her shoulders.
After passing the trashcan Leni through the bottle over the fens, and the Kankers quickly followed it.
Hopping over the fence, the Kankers found themselves at the construction site. The sisters quickly scanned the area, but they couldn't see the bottle. With each passing second, the Kankers grew angrier and angrier.
CAMERA FLASH!
Once again their attention was drawn by a Loud. Standing in front of the girls was Lori, who was blissfully busy on her phone.
"Oh I'm definitely saving that one," said Lori referring to the picture she just took. The image showed the Kankers, but they were bruised, dirty and had glitter at a few spots.
Lee couldn't take it anymore, "Enough games! Give us our ship in a bottle!"
Lori answered innocently, "Games, what games? If you want it to go ahead and take it," she then stepped aside and gestured to a huge wicker basket in the middle of the site.
Without hesitation, the Kankers immediately ran towards the basket and jumped right into it. And sure enough, they found the ship in a bottle inside. As soon as they recovered it, they started fighting over who gets to hold it.
"Hey wait a minute!" said Lee who just came to a realization, "This isn't our ship in a bottle!"
"What?" responded May.
"What do you mean it's not ours?" asked a confused Marie.
Suddenly they felt like they were being watched, they then looked to the side and saw Ed, Double-D and the Louds together watching them. That's when they also noticed that the wicker basket they were in was on a makeshift catapult.
They looked back at the group and saw Lisa holding a remote, and she was giving them a stoic look.
Without looking away, she pressed the button.
"WUUUAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
The catapult sent them into the sky, where they disappeared over the horizon.
"Don't forget to write!" yelled Ed as he waved them goodbye.
Everyone started to celebrate the group's victory, giving each other hugs and high fives. Except for one.
Double-D looked down with a worried expression as he said, "Oh dear, father is going to be crossed when he finds one of his ships missing."
Lisa walked over to him and patted his leg, trying to provide comfort.
"My friend for the greater good, sacrifices must be made," this didn't make Double-D feel better at all.
Out of nowhere, Eddy came running towards the group with the money jar in hand.
"Hey guys, did I miss anything?" he asked as he stopped next to the group.
Eddy's words immediately brought Double-D out of his slight depression, "Eddy, where have you been?! You were supposed to help Ed!" he yelled in anger.
Eddy just shrugged his shoulders as he answered, "Hey I was doing the most important thing. Getting the money, can you believe they just left it back there? Anyway, come on boys to the Candy Store!"
With that Eddy turned around and left the group with gusto.
"Eddy! You get back here right now mister or so help me I'll-"
"Jawbreakers Double-D!" yelled Ed as he grabbed Double-D and followed Eddy.
Lincoln turned to his sisters and gave them a sheepish smile, "Thanks for everything guys, I'll see you later."
Lincoln then followed his friends with his sisters bidding them farewell.
(Later)
The day had just ended. The sun was busy setting over the horizon, and outside the Candy Store our 4 boys were sitting and enjoying their well-deserved jawbreakers.
"Man this stuff's really good," said Lincoln who was enjoying his oversized treat.
"Yup, and if things keep going right we'll be able to eat this stuff every day," responded Eddy.
"Wouldn't we eventually get tired of it if that happened?" asked Double-D.
"Tomato potato Double-D," stated Ed.
Lincoln had to admit, even though this day was full of ups and downs, it was quite fun. And he really enjoyed hanging out with the Eds, even with the many differences they stick together.
Kinda like his family.
That reminded Lincoln of something he wanted to ask before, he turned to Eddy and asked.
"Hey, Eddy."
"What's up?"
"I forgot to ask you, I saw in Luan's room that there was a puppet on her bed. The puppet kinda looked like you, do you know anything about it?"
Eddy began to sweat nervously and stumble over his word, "I don't… um… what… ahem….. boy it's hot today."
Double-D overheard the conversation and asked, "Wait, Luan has a puppet that looks like Eddy?"
"That sounds like Eddo!" said Ed with a happy grin.
Double-D then quickly looked towards Eddy and saw he was avoiding eye contact.
This caused Double-D to grow a sly grin, "Why Eddy, that was awfully nice of you."
Eddy could just retort, "So what if I did give them a few stuff, that doesn't mean anything!"
"Eddy is Mr. Nicey McNicepants!"
"SHUT UP ED!"
There we go, another chapter just for you guys. Honestly I didn't think this fanfiction would do so well, because there are Loud House and Ed, Edd n Eddy fanfictions that are better than this.
But I would like to thank you all very much for your support, also HUGE thanks to Hotspot the 626thfor editing this chapter he's a big help.
I also want to tell you all the reasons why I don't update often:
1: I'm an artist first and a writer second, I focus more on my drawings on Deviantart, Tumblr and Twitter. I write as a side hobby.
2: Writing is mentally exhausting for me, since I'm not use to it.
3: I have a life outside the internet, I have a ton of other responsibilities and duties.
With that being said I'm sorry it takes so long for an update, but believe me I have a bunch of ideas for future chapters.
That's all for now, thanks for reading and I'll see you guys next time.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go watch the newest Loud House episodes.
