Well, this is the last chapter of the story! I know this story is short but I hope you'll enjoy it.
While Double D was talking with Jonny, Ed was asking Eddy why he kicked Double D out of the group. Ed looked very distraught about this while Eddy looked aggravated.
"Eddy, why did you yell at Double D?"
"Ah, Double D was just slowing us down! Besides we can finally get some quiet around here!" Eddy hissed.
"You're a bad pirate Eddy!" Ed remarked, he had tears forming in his eyes. Eddy turned to Ed, he looked like he was not in the mood.
"If you're just gonna whine about Double D not being here, then you can go join him Ed!" Eddy snapped.
Meanwhile, Sarah and Jimmy were also going through some problems. Jimmy was getting tired and Sarah had been doing 3 times as much work as him.
"Sarah, can we just go home? It's getting late!" He whined.
"No Jimmy! We have to find the treasure!" Sarah answered.
"But Sarah, there might not even be a treasure! Can't we just go home?"
"Grrr, Jimmy you didn't do any work and now you want to go home?!"
"B-but I've worked as hard as I can Sarah!" Jimmy argued.
"Whatever Jimmy, if you want to leave then go..." Sarah snapped, Jimmy left the park, Ed followed soon after. The 4 remaining kids continued their search.
In the Lane, Jonny and Double D were discussing how they can stop this treasure hunt. The noticed Jimmy and Ed walked home with a discouraged expression on their faces.
"Jimmy! Ed! What happened?" Double D called them.
The two boys explained what had happened.
"This is getting bad Double D!" Jonny noted, Double D nodded in agreement.
"What are we going to do?" Jimmy asked. The four boys worked together to think of an idea that would stop the kids.
Somewhere in the woods, Rolf completed his mushroom gathering ceremony and was getting ready to head back to the cul-de-sac after a hard days work. He had also wanted to see his friends today and see what they were up to. Unbeknownst to Rolf however, things weren't going so well.
Back at the park, Eddy was going to go dig by the teeter-totter. Though Kevin had picked that area as his next digging spot.
"Hey Dork! That's my spot!"
"Oh! Excuse me!" Eddy barked with a sarcastic tone. "I don't see your name on it!" Eddy began to dig a hole in that area, but then he was tackled down by Kevin! This shocked Nazz and Sarah.
Back in the Lane, the four boys were still trying to think of an idea to get the kids to stop looking for the treasure, Ed and Jonny thought that they should just tell them to stop, but Double D said that it isn't that easy. Though they were interrupted by a friendly voice.
"Hello fellow Urban Rangers as well as Brainy Ed Boy and Noodle-Headed Ed-Boy!" Rolf greeted. Ed's face lit up with joy when he saw Rolf, he ran over to him.
"Hiya Rolf!" Ed greeted with his usual cartoonish grin. Rolf noticed the other 3 boys looking upset and worried.
"What is this that troubles you?" Rolf asked.
"Well you see Rolf, earlier this morning it was revealed that there was supposedly a large amount of treasure buried somewhere in the park. Everyone went to go search for it, but now everyone seems to be going against each other. Eddy snapped at Ed and I and Sarah yelled at Jimmy. Now the four of us are trying to think of a way to stop all of this!" Double D explained, Rolf looked irritated, he began to walk in the direction of the park. The four boys gave each nervous glances before following Rolf.
The 5 boys entered the park again. Eddy and Kevin were still fighting. Eddy's shirt was torn, he had a black eye, he was missing a tooth and he had bruises on his face. Kevin had a bloody nose, his hat was off, he also had a black eye. Sarah and Nazz were fighting as well, though nobody was really sure why, Kevin an Eddy were too busy fighting to know. Rolf looked at them with a disgusted look on his face.
"ENOUGH!" Rolf shouted, this got everyone to freeze right in their tracks. Eddy was even frozen in midair! "What is the meaning of this madness?!"
Before anyone had the chance to respond, Double D stepped forward and began to speak.
"Dear friends, don't you see what's happening?! The very thought of this treasure is turning us against each other! Friendships are being torn apart, and for what, some treasure that might not even exist! Please, we're begging you, give up this search! Let's go back to just living our lives without greed and distrust!"
Double D's speech managed to calm everyone down. Everyone who fought apologized to each other. Sarah apologized to Jimmy. Eddy approached his fellow Eds.
"Sorry about how I acted today guys, I guess the treasure just made me act crazy..." Eddy said sadly.
"Apology accepted Eddy, I'm sure this escapade can be a good learning experience for you!" Double D replied.
"We are friends once more!" Ed said happily, he gave Eddy a huge bear hug. The kids all went home. From behind some bushes, the Kankers sisters appeared.
"Aww man, the show's over!" May complained.
"Well it was good while it lasted." Lee stated.
"I knew my man would be the one to stop the fight! He's so dreamy!" Marie swooned, some shiny object had caught her eye. She and her sisters went over to the object, which was in the hole Eddy was digging by the teeter-totter. She moved some of the dirt away and pulled out a large wooden chest. Lee opened the chest, there were diamonds, rubies, pearls, and gold inside!
"Well, well, well! Look at what we found here girls!" Lee chimed, the Kankers Sisters took the treasure and headed home.
We'll that's the end! Sorry if this story seemed a little bland, but I hope the message it tells at least got across. Remember, greed changes people. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!
