Chapter 5 Where's Ed?
Disclaimer: I don't own anything included in this Fan Fiction.
Eddy and Kevin ran through the shelter of trees only to holt to a stop and practically collapse. From the old river canyon, the two had ran across a field and up a hill, and now stood in front of the rest of the cul-de-sac kids gasping for breathe.
"Eddy….Kevin, where have you been? Why happened?" Double D spat out, they finished the group discussion and just realized that Ed, Eddy, and Kevin were missing.
"In…..the….(gasp)….canyon," Kevin rasped out in between gasps.
"We….saw…(deep inhale)……something," Eddy finished, exhaustion was equally evident in his voice.
"What?!" the other kids asked in unison.
Kevin, finally catching his breath, answered, "Some weird rabbit-thing…..,"
"and a dog," Eddy finished.
"That's it," Sarah shouted, angry she'd been led a stray.
"No, I'm serious," Eddy, shouted defensively, "These things were huge! Right, Kevin."
"Yeah," Kevin added, "and they were yellow and green."
"Kevin and Watch-Your-Wallet-Ed-Boy have spent too long in the sun, yes?" Rolf asked.
"No way, man," now Kevin was shouting defensively, "They were real!
"What do you think, Plank?" Johnny asked the piece of wood trying to figure out who to believe.
"What about you, Double D?" Nazz questioned.
"Well," He began, "it goes against everything in the known biographical world, but I guess it makes as much sense as anything else goes."
"That a boy, Sock Head," Eddy chimed.
"What!.." Double D gasped, "Where's Ed?!"
Kevin and Eddy turned around to make sure that Ed wasn't still making his way up the hill or something. On they saw Ed wasn't there, or even anywhere in view for that matter, they stared at each other guessingly.
"Didn't you make sure he was following us," Eddy demanded, pointing a finger at Kevin.
"Me?" Kevin questioned, "He's your friend!"
Before Eddy could reply, the two boys fond that Sarah, with a foot on each one's chest for balance, had grabbed their throats and was in the process of strangling them.
"How could you two leave my idiot, big brother alone with those things?!" she demanded, tightening the hold on their throats.
"Sarah, please," Double D consulted.
Sarah turned to stared at him while Eddy and Kevin started to turn blue in their cheeks.
"We need to try and find Ed now, since that appears to be the case," Double D concluded.
Sarah let go and jumped down to the ground, leaving Eddy and Kevin gasping again as their faces turned back to their normal colors thanks to the oxygen coming from their aching wind pipes.
At the canyon….
Ed strode happily along the edge of the canyon, keeping his eyes pealed for any fussy creatures with jet packs, when an all too familiar scream hit his ears.
