The Last Scam on Ed
Part 3: Eddy's Brother is Coming to Town…
Right?
Eddy's House
"Ed, Double D, my brother sent me this yesterday, look at it!" Eddy said, taking the package out of under his bed. The Ed's Custom Made T-Shirts was closed till the afternoon. "You guys look through this stuff while I call him," Eddy said, picking his phone up. He called his brother's number, and it rang twice.
"Hello?" a female voice said. "This is Annie, who is this?"
"This is Eddy, can I speak with my brother?" Eddy said.
"Oh, OK, I'll get it to him," She said. "Eduardo! Your brother wants you!" She said. The phone shuffled.
"Hey, Eddy, what's up?" Eduardo asked.
"Um, Ed kind of has to move in a week," Eddy said. Maybe he'll come earlier now, Eddy thought.
"What?! I was looking forward to having Annie meet him, and her sister's coming, she loves B-Movies," Eduardo said.
"Hey, maybe you guys can come earlier," Eddy said.
"I'm going to see if we can, if we can, I'll be there in three days," Eduardo said. "Anything else?"
"I succeeded in business, finally," Eddy said.
"Eddy's the man with the plan!" Ed yelled.
"Is that Ed?" Eduardo asked?
"Yep," Eddy said.
"Hey, listen, Eddy, I gotta go, tell Ed that I'll see about coming earlier," Eduardo said.
"OK," Eddy said, the two hanging up simultaneously.
"Eddy, Eduardo is your brother's name!" Edd yelled. He knew Eddy was part Spanish, but he never knew there would be another Ed. That makes four Eds.
"Yep," Eddy said, walking out the door.
"And the lamp, I think it's a good gift," Edd said.
"Lets tell the others!" Ed yelled.
"If they buy a T-Shirt that is," Eddy said, walking to their stand…
Ed's Custom Made T-Shirts"Attention kids of the cul-de-sac!" Eddy yelled in a megaphone. The kids turned towards him.
"Dork!" Kevin yelled. Eddy, luckily, didn't hear him.
"My brother, Eduardo, is coming home soon!" Eddy yelled.
"Why should we believe you!" Nazz yelled. Last time she thought her crush would come back it was a lie.
"Because I have proof from him himself!" Eddy yelled, taking out the letter. "A letter straight from him himself! This is what it says!" Eddy yelled, starting to read it all. He read it, read it and didn't say anything faulty.
"Rolf must guard Rolf's poultry!" Rolf yelled, running back to his house. He thought that Eddy's hate of chickens came from his brother, and he knew the rumors were true, so he figured Eduardo would try to hurt the chickens.
"I can't believe that he's already taken!" Nazz said running to her house depressed.
"Are the rumors about him true then!" Kevin yelled.
"Yep!" Eddy pronounced proudly.
"I'm running for it!" Kevin yelled, running to his house to get his bike.
"Plank wants to meet Eduardo!" Jonny yelled, not at all panicking.
"Brothers are stupid, right Jimmy," Sarah said.
"I don' know, Sarah, I don't have one," Jimmy said, laughing.
"And now, we are back to selling T-Shirts for a quarter again!" Eddy yelled into the megaphone. Unfortunately, the kids were preparing for Eduardo's returning, and could not buy, except for Jimmy, Jonny, and Sarah.
"I heard you three are selling T-shirts," A voice said.
"Kankers," Eddy said as Lee walked up. May and Marie followed.
"We'll take a T-Shirt from you guys if it displays our love for you three," Marie said.
"Yeah!" May yelled.
"Um, Ed, get to work on their request," Eddy said nervously. "Kankers, if you give us a quarter you can have your T-Shirts," Eddy said.
"Eddy, you could get the to leave us alone," Edd whispered into Eddy's ear.
"We can pay," Lee said.
"On second thought, you can have them free, if you leave us alone for a year," Eddy said, grinning.
"A year of leaving you three alone for shirts displaying that we love you, we'll have to think about it," Lee said, the three Kankers huddling together. Eddy and Edd were sweating as Ed worked on the shirts. Eddy started to bite his nails when Ed gave Edd the shirts. Edd looked at them and saw that on them it showed the Kankers hugging the Eds and the Eds hugging the Kankers.
"Ahh!" Edd said, dropping the shirt by accident. He picked it up and dusted it off, and then put it on the stand.
"We'll do it," Lee said. Edd gave them the shirts, and was still shacking. The three Kankers were leaving when they went back to normal.
"I can't believe it! We're free!" Eddy said hugging the other two Eds.
"Free?" Ed asked.
"No more Kankers, Ed! Their going to leave us alone for a year!" Eddy said, walking out of the stand and putting a closed sign on it. "Lets celebrate at my house with a party!" Eddy yelled walking back to his house with the two Eds. Eddy's House, 9:00 PM
"Whhhooooohhhhhhoooooooooooooooo!!" Eddy yelled, as the three Eds partied to their freedom. Eddy had his "Freedom and Justice" record playing to celebrate, and the Eds were having a huge dance party. Sure they were the only people there, but the house had the volume in it up to the max, even if Edd was wearing earmuffs.
"I'm so excited!!" Edd yelled, cracking open a soda. He drank some of it, and put it on Eddy's record shelf's top.
"You can dance now!" Ed yelled, dancing his own dance.
The phone rang, and Eddy picked it up. He froze. Edd turned the music off when he saw Eddy's face, and walked over to him. "Eddy?" Edd asked. Ed was still dancing, unaware of the music stopping.
Eddy stood there, and then fell over.
"Ed! Eddy fainted!" Edd yelled, snapping Ed out of his own little world.
"Eddy!" Ed yelled, running over. Edd checked Eddy's pulse. It was normal.
"Ed! We need water!" Edd yelled, realizing Eddy fainted from shock.
"Water!" Ed yelled, running into the kitchen, where he got a bucket of water and ran into the room again. "What do I do?" Ed asked in a half yell.
"Splash the water on Eddy's face!" Edd yelled, hoping it'd work.
"OK!" Ed yelled, splashing the water onto Eddy's face, waking him up.
"Ed! Double D!" Eddy yelled, as a tear apparently ran down his face.
"What happened, Eddy?" Edd asked.
"My parents are in the emergency room in the hospital. There's a large chance their going to die… and I'm going to have to move in with my brother," Eddy said, crying.
"It's going to be all right, Eddy, we're here for you," Edd said, hugging Eddy.
"Yes we are," Ed said, hugging Eddy.
"Thanks guys. I just don't know what I'm going to do," Eddy said, sadness in his voice as he stopped crying.
"We'll write if you move in with your brother," Edd said.
"But I'll still have to move," Ed said.
"Oh. Thanks Double D, Ed," Eddy said.
"Wait, I'll be the only one of us still here! What am I going to do?" Edd asked, panicking.
"Whatever you did before you met us, Double D," Eddy said laughing.
"Well, I'm tired. I'm going to bed," Edd said, as he saw it was 10:00 PM.
"No you aren't, Double D. The party's just getting good!" Eddy said, closing the door Edd just opened.
"Fine, Eddy. I'll stay," Edd said, as Eddy turned the music back on…
"T-shirts! Get your custom made T-shirts here!" Eddy yelled from the both. Unfortunately, no kids were going outside at the moment. "I don't get it, why aren't they coming?" Eddy asked.
"Because their too afraid of your brother, Eddy," Edd said calmly.
"Eddy has a cool brother, Double D!" Ed yelled happily.
"Why do I have to have an older brother everyone's afraid of? Now I can't scam anyone," Eddy said. "What are we supposed to do right now anyways?"
"There's a monster movie marathon on again today," Ed said happily.
"Then lets watch it!" Eddy said, walking to his house.
"You have channel Movie Land?" Ed asked curiously.
"No, why?" Eddy asked.
"It's on Movie Land!" Ed yelled, his mind bending to the movie.
"Then we'll have to go to my house," Edd said. As the three went to Edd's a sticky note was on the door. It read: "Dear Eddward, the power bill apparently didn't get to the electric company and now the power isn't working. Love, Mother"
"No TV!" Ed yelled in horror, sad.
"What about your house, Ed?" Eddy asked.
"Sarah and Jimmy are watching something," Ed said.
"Don't you have two TVs?" Eddy asked.
"Yes! And they both have Movie Land!" Ed yelled happily.
"Then to Ed's house!" Eddy yelled, the trio running to Ed's house…
The next day, Ed woke up in his now empty room. He had to move in two days, and he had to have the best two days with his pals he could. As he walked upstairs, Sarah was standing there, looking impatient. She wasn't allowed to Ed's room now because of the fact that they couldn't sell a house with broken walls or damages. "Ed! Mom said you need to help dad pack!" Sarah yelled.
"Dad!? Ed must help dad!" Ed yelled, happily. His dad was next to never home, and when he was Ed and him always watched monster movies continuously. Ed ran to the kitchen, and his parents were there.
"Son, follow me," his dad said, walking into his and his wife's room. Ed walked in nervously. This room was next-to-forbidden to him and Sarah.
"Dad?" Ed asked nervously.
"Son," Ed's dad started, getting a picture off the desk by him. "I know you don't want to move, but it's natural. I went through the same thing when I was your age," he looked at the picture. It showed Ed's dad and two other kids, laughing.
"Really?" Ed asked. He never was told this before.
"Yes. I moved from my old house to Peach Creek and I missed my friends, but, I did meet your mother when I moved," his dad said. This was the first time he told his son that. "I thought you should know that," he said giving Ed the picture.
"Wow…" Ed said.
"Now go and have some fun with your friends, Ed," his dad said, ruffling Ed's hair.
"Awesome! Thanks, dad!" Ed yelled, running out of the house and outside. Ed and Edd were outside, and he ran over to them.
"What we doing today, Eddy?" Edd asked.
"We're going to throw a "Going Away" party for monobrow!" Eddy yelled.
"It's me!" Ed yelled running towards his friends.
"Ed! Eddy wants to have another party i-" Edd started, but Ed already interrupted.
"PARTY AT DOUBLE D's HOUSE!" Ed yelled.
"My house! But why?" Edd asked.
"Because, Ed's moving tomorrow so he's the boss for the day," Eddy said. "And, my brother'll be here tomorrow," Eddy said.
"Fine, if you two insist," Edd said, the three going to Edd's house...
"Ed! Stop! That's so unsanitary!" Edd yelled, as Ed drunk a gallon of soda, spilling on the floor sometimes.
"Give it a rest, Double De-e-e-e!" Eddy said, as he slipped on the soda Ed spilled.
"My turn!" Ed yelled, sliding on the floor, hitting the wall making a hole in it.
"Now you've done it, Ed! Mother and Father will ground me!" Edd yelled.
"Don't worry, for you'll have nothing to care about once me and Ed leave!" Eddy yelled.
"Your right… I have no life outside of you guys," Edd said. "You two I could see living without the other two, but me, I'm basically a hermit," Edd said. "What will I do with myself after you leave!" Edd yelled, looking at the other Eds.
"You will grow a tail!" Ed yelled, laughing. A door closed from the outside.
"Mother and Father are here! We have to leave!" Edd yelled. "They'll yell at me for having someone in my house at night!" Edd yelled.
"I'm going, I'm going!" Eddy yelled, opening the window and jumping out. Ed followed, and Edd climbed down the side, and fell onto the ground then.
"EDDWARD!!" Edd's father yelled as he walked into the house and seeing an empty bottle of soda on the ground. "GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT YOUNG MAN!" he bellowed.
"Father's found out! You two go, I'll stay," Edd said, walking towards the front door.
"No! We are a team!" Ed yelled, grabbing Edd.
"Yeah, what monobrow said. You've got in trouble because of us so we're not letting you take all the blame," Eddy said.
"Thank you," Edd said as he smiled. The three walked towards Edd's front door. "I haven't been completely honest with you though, Eddy. I impersonated the principal when you got detention it. I was too afraid of mother and father though to take the blame," Edd said.
"WHAT!? You little weasel!" Eddy yelled. "I'm not taking the blame for this then!" Eddy yelled, puffing in anger walking to his house.
"I helped, Eddy!" Ed yelled. The two Eds then walked into Edd's house.
"EDDWARD! HOW DARE YOU DISOBEY YOUR PARENTS!" Edd's father yelled.
"Mister Edd's Dad Sir, I did some it," Ed said.
"WELL WHY DID EDDWARD LET YOU IN!" Edd's father yelled.
"Because Ed is moving tomorrow and we were having a party for it," Edd said.
"Well then, Eddward, I suppose it's not all bad. I'll let you two have your fun, but if Eddward does this again, he's grounded for three months!" Edd's dad said with strict tone, and then walked off.
"I think we should rest for tomorrow, Ed," Edd said to Ed.
"Yes sir!" Ed yelled, running to his house…
"Eddy, what'cha doing?" Eduardo asked as he got out of his car. Eddy was already by the car, on the sidewalk waiting for Eduardo.
"Well, me and the other Eds are waiting for you here," Eddy said as Allie and her sister walked around the car.
"So your Eddy's brother. I've been waiting to meet you. Eddward, AKA Double D, at your service," Edd said, extending his hand in a handshake.
Eduardo shook Edd's hand. "I heard your pretty smart," Eduardo said.
"Eddy's brother!" Ed yelled, hugging Eduardo.
"Ed, what you doing, man?" Eduardo asked, he finally meet his brother.
Allie's sister looked like Allie, only a lot younger. She walked over to Ed and smiled. "I hear you like B-movies," she said smiling. Her name, was Anna.
"Yes I do!" Ed proclaimed.
"I have some pretty neat B-movies back home, too bad your probably not moving to Lanta," Anna said.
"But I am!" Ed yelled.
"That's great! We'll be able to watch as many B-movies as we want!" Anna said.
"So who are you?" Ed asked.
"Anna. I know that your Ed, Eddy talks to Eduardo about you and Double D all the time," Anna said, smiling.
"Ed! We're moving in five minutes!" Sarah yelled, storming out of Ed's house. She saw Eddy's brother and froze. A sense of fear and appreciation swept over her. "EDDY'S BROTHER IS HERE, EVERYONE!" she yelled as loud as she could, and the kids looked out their doors and stepped outside them. They stood in fear and didn't move.
"What's everyone being as stiff as a board about?" Eduardo said, laughing at his hidden joke.
"Your… Eddy's brother?" Kevin asked in shock.
"Last time I checked, shovel chin," Eduardo said.
"Why you!" Kevin yelled, running towards Eduardo. Eduardo put his hand on Kevin's head and held him at bay.
"I really don't want to fight," he said.
The kids walked over to him, and started to ask questions. Five minutes later, they all have said goodbye to Ed, and Ed had left. Eddy and Edd managed to sell some shirts they made saying "I hung with Eddy's Brother" with a picture of Eduardo, but it didn't seem the same without Ed.
Iris Fade out…
End of story…
Read on to the
bottom…
It's an Epilogue…
Epilogue
Eddy: Eddy found out his parent's lived, and they returned to Peach Creek where eventually him and Nazz got married. Eddy did begin a world famous clothing store called Ed's Custom Made, and his wife Nazz became a model for it's female department. They had two sons named Ed and Chris, and one daughter named Lucy. Eddy died at the far too young age of 67.
Edd: Edd ended up going to the Massachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT), where he graduated after twenty years. While there, him and May ended up falling in love, and getting married. Edd and her became world-renowned scientists, discovering Extraterrestrial life, discovering a new element, and then finding a cure to AIDs. They had two sons named Clark and Walter. Edd died at the ripe age of 131 thanks to his medical status.
Ed: Ed graduated from Lanta University after four years, and then him and Anna got married. He directed three films with his wife, and became a famous director, for his films "Men on a Gas Giant," "Pizza Men from Outer Space," and "The Pebble in the Pond" which was dedicated to Eddy after his death in 2060. Ed and Anna had one kid, that they named Horace. Ed died at the age of 121.
Sarah and Jimmy: Sarah, after college, married Jimmy, and the two of them began the famous line of stuffed animals called "Little Jimmy's". Sarah and Jimmy had one son, that they named Jonny after their childhood friend, who sadly died an all-too-soon death at the age 21 in a traffic accident. Sarah and Jimmy died together, in a fatal plane accident on an August morning in 2078 while they were 85.
Jonny and Plank: Jonny became an environmentalist, who ended up promoting a non-polluting energy. He started a national park in Peach Creek, where nature could live freely. Him and Plank both died in the fatal car accident on Washing Street in 2016 at age 21. After death, a national monument was built in his honor in the shape of Plank called the "2x4 Monument" where he was buried in Washington D.C.
Kevin: Kevin dropped out of high school, which he later on regretted in his life. He started the Dead Man's Bluff Vultures pro football team, and he encouraged kids to stay in school for the rest of his life. He never married, although he almost did, before realizing the women was planning to take his money and leave him. He died at age 119 in the terrorist bombing of Death Valley in 2111.
Marie and Lee: Marie and Lee Kanker both married brothers Chris and Roy Armstrong, and the four of them became the famous band The Armstrong Family. Marie and Chris had no kids, but Lee and Roy had one boy they named Richard. The four of them died in 2091 at age 99 for Marie, 100 for Lee, and then 98 for Chris and Roy in a shooting at one of the concerts. The funeral was nationwide, mourned by nearly everyone alive that knew them personally or otherwise.
May: May married Edd after the two graduated from MIT, and as I said before, they had two sons named Clark and Lewis, discovered Extraterrestrial life, a cure to AIDs, and a new element. May died at the age of 129, in a car accident when a tanker carrying Ewanium, the element her and Edd discovered, crashed and the liquid element caused the bridge to collapse causing a hundred deaths in 2121.
Nazz: Nazz, as stated earlier, married Eddy and became a model for his clothing line. She died at age 68, after a year of depression from Eddy's death. Those who knew her know that she is happier now, even if she died while choking on food at dinner, because she's with Eddy, her one love.
Rolf: Rolf went through law school to learn the ways of the United States. He graduated after ten years, and then went on to become Governor of Florida in 2039, and then after thirteen years (two terms and then some vacation) he became president of the United States for two terms, leading to the formation of the World Peace Association. He married Dian of England when he was 29, and they had one kid that they named Aberfoot. He died at age 100 in the Old Country vacationing with his wife after a terrorist attack.
The kids of these twelve did build a monument after searching for each other, and that monument stands in Peach Creek even four hundred years later, and it shows the twelve as kids, when they were, for one rare moment, all friends getting along. Kevin is in his football uniform, Eddy his trademark shirt, Ed in his jacket, Edd in a lab coat, Nazz in her sweater, Jonny holding Plank smiling, Jimmy and Sara playing skip rope, Rolf with a plow, and the Kankers laughing about something. On the bottom of the monument, a plaque reads "Those who merely seek fame will never get it. It is those who seek to do merely what they enjoy and nothing more that receive fame. This monument is in honor of twelve great people that did just that: Ed, Edd, Eddy, Kevin, Nazz, Jonny, Jimmy, Sarah, Rolf, May, Marie, and Lee."
A note from the author: I greatly enjoyed writing this story, and in all honesty, I wrote it merely because I wanted to. I hope this story teaches you nearly as much as I meant it to. It has a moral, and it is what the plaque says: Those who merely seek fame will never get it. It is those who seek to do merely what they enjoy doing and nothing more that receive fame.
And now… I leave you the finished edition of "The Last Scam on Ed" and remember; A great story doesn't come unless you write about something you truly love to write about, not because you want to become a famous writer.
And now, if you please, I ask for some reviews so I can merely better myself so I enjoy writing another story just as much…
