"End of the world insurance!" Eddy shouted from atop a crude stand, "Get your end of the world insurance here! Insures against floods, Blight, asteroids, anything!" Double d was there, humiliated over his friend's scam, and Ed was begging for some insurance, which Eddy gave to him free of charge. All they really were were soup labels with random promises scrawled on the back of them. "Really, end of the world insurance!" Johnny looked excited before turning to his wooden friend, plank, "What do ya mean it's a scam?" nonetheless, Johnny bought the insurance. So did Jimmy, Rolf, and two of the three kankers. Only Nazz, Kevin, Sarah, Marie kanker, plank apparently, and secretly Eddy saw through the scam. Thus was the cul-de-sac divided over the issue of the end of the world. But what of Double d? His inner common sense screamed that no such thing could happen, but some tiny voice asked inside him, what if? He shook this off as paranoia as the Eds hurried off to buy jawbreakers, for the first time in a long time. "Should've thought of this in the first place!" Eddy commented. "Come now Eddy, this end of the world stuff can't last forever."

"It doesn't haft to! It only has to last a week!"
