If you didn't know, all my OCs (except Kyle) are named after the show's cast and crew members. I edited my OCs bios on my profile to show who they're named after.


Episode #3: Music to My Eds


Ed lays on his bed, listening to metal music on his radio. He shakes his head to the song's beat, and during the instrumental part, he knee-slides onto the floor, plays an imaginary guitar, and mouths the singer's hardcore screaming!!!

But suddenly, a Jack Russell terrier flies in through Ed's window and jumps all around his room, messing up things and knocking over his radio thus crashing the music.

"What the-" Ed catches a mere glimpse of the dog as it zips under him, then he finds it ripping up his pillows. "HEY!"

Ed tries catching the dog, but it repeatedly dodges him and escapes back out through his window. He jumps outside, and finds the dog running all around the cul-de-sac, barking as it goes. Sarah, Jimmy and Double-D are trying to catch it.

"ED, HELP US CATCH ZOE'S DOG!" Double-D calls out to Ed, who joins the chase.

"GET HIM, JIMMY!" Sarah shouts to Jimmy, who manages to grab the dog's tail but isn't strong enough to stop it. He gets dragged along instead. Meanwhile...

"Eddy, you are so amazing!" Eddy proudly marvels at his completed work: a 10-foot Eiffel Tower made of cards. But then the dog (dragging the screaming Jimmy) comes along and runs through it, destroying it. "MY TOWER, MY BEAUTIFUL TOWER!"

Zoe pops out of a bush, in search of her dog: "Oh, Sparky!..... Sparky, my cuddly wuddly woogums!" she calls out as she searches through the bushes, down into the sewers, and back to the surface... "SPARKY, YOU HERE?!" she searches up a tree, checking around from the top: "SPARKY, WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"I GOT HIM!" Jimmy shouts as Sparky drags him down the street. "BUT HE'S GOT ME, TOO!! AAAHHH-"

Sparky jumps through a treehole, which Jimmy gets stuck in. Zoe drops down as Sparky zips to another block.

"DUDES, HE'S GETTIN AWAY!" Kyle alerts the others, and they run down the neighborhood blocks in pursuit of Sparky.


Several blocks down, Rachel is band-practicing in her garage with fellow goths Sean, Bill and Dean. Sean has long black hair with puple fringes and cheek piercings. He wears a black shirt with long fishnet sleeves and black cuffs, black pants with chains, purple shoes, and an ankh necklace. Bill is very tall and skinny, having purple-rooted black hair covering his eyes, and a septum piercing. He wears a frilled black jacket, black pants and shoes, and white gentleman gloves. Dean is overweight, has 6 arm piercings (3 on each arm), and he doesn't talk. He wears a sleeveless black shirt with a purple skull logo, black pants with chains, black shoes, and a black beanie with some purple hair sticking out.

"Ready!" Sean signals.

"3, 2, 1, GO!" Rachel starts the band practice. Rachel is the lead vocals, Sean is the guitarist and backup vocals, Bill is the keyboarder, and Dean is the drummer and percussionist.

Meanwhile, Sparky runs through the streets, causing cars to spin out. Ed, Double-D, Zoe, Sarah, Jimmy and Kyle try catching him, but he evades them all. He even causes Jimmy and Kyle to run into each other at full speed, causing their attire to briefly switch!

"Hehe, so that's how he's playin!" Zoe exclaims. "I love a good challenge!"

"THAT WAY!" Double-D points out Sparky, and more chasing ensues. Sparky still evades them all and heads towards Rachel's garage. Sparky barks as he jumps into Rachel's garage and onto Bill's pants.

"What the- ACK!" Bill leaps off his keyboard to get Sparky off himself, but Sparky zips onto Dean's hair, messing it up. Then Sparky munches on one of Sean's shoes, and he lifts up the foot.

"The hell did you come from?" Sean reaches for Sparky, but Sparky jumps onto Rachel and licks her face. Covered in slobber, Rachel throws Sparky off, and they try catching him.

"GET HIM!" Bill shouts as he, Rachel, Sean and Dean try catching Sparky outside. Ed and Double-D hear Sparky's barking, and find the goths trying to catch him.

"CAR!" Rachel points out a car headed towards her and the goth boys. Sparky runs towards it, barking at it. This causes the car to kareen off the street, and everyone freaks out as it spins towards Sean.

"WHOA!" Sean braces himself, but luckily the car misses him and hits a pole. "Whew, that was a-"

The pole falls and POWS Sean into the ground.

"SEAN!!!" Rachel, Bill and Dean rush towards Sean. Dean throws off the pole, pulls Sean out of the ground, and they tend to him. Ed and Double-D rush over, where Double-D checks Sean while Ed chases Sparky.

"How bad is it?" Rachel asks Double-D about Sean's condition.

"Oh dear, we need to get him the hospital immediately!" Double-D says as he heads into Rachel's house to call 911.

"Oh, that's just great!" Bill exclaims sarcastically as he paces around. "Without Sean, we can't make it to the Battle of the Bands this Saturday."

Ed finally catches Sparky in his hands: "I GOT HIM, GUYS!" he tells the others, but then Sparky angrily bites his arm!

"................ YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!" Ed screams in pain. Double-D sees this through Rachel's window and panics, but the goths have a different view on Ed's bite-triggered scream:

"That scream was... incredible!" Bill says in amazement.

"I think we just found our replacement, boys!" Rachel says as an ambulance arrives for Sean.


Later at Ed's stoop, Sparky is handed to Zoe, and Double-D starts bandaging Ed's wound. Eddy complains about how Sparky ruined his card tower:

"Thank God you guys got that damn terrier, cause now I can put another 6 hours into REBUILDING MY TOWER!" Eddy leaves.

"Thanks, Ed!" Zoe thanks as Sparky licks her.

"Gee, Sparky must have a monster bite to make someone like Ed scream." Jimmy comments.

"Careful, Double-D." Ed says with pain in his voice.

"I'm applying the bandages as painstakingly as I can, Ed. Don't move." Double-D says.

"But it hurts so much." Ed whines.

"Oh stop it, will ya!" Sarah scolds Ed: "A 16-ton safe didn't hurt ya, yet you're crying from a little bite. That's pathetic."

"Besides, it could've been so much worse!" Zoe says. "Sparky could've bitten your cubes or even your rod or somethin!"

Everyone stares at Zoe for her gross remark.

"Let's not talk about that, Zoe." Kyle tells Zoe as they, Sarah and Jimmy leave, with Sparky on a leash.

"There, all better!" Double-D finishes bandaging Ed's wound. "Now remember, Ed: many canines, Jack Russells in this case, are big dogs in small packages. So it pays to handle them carefully to avoid accidents like what happened to your arm."

"Yessir!" Ed replies, kissing his bandages. Then Rachel comes.

"Oh hello, Rachel!" Double-D greets. "How's Sean?"

"He got some fractures, so he'll be in a wheelchair for a few weeks." Rachel answers. "Now Ed, I wanna talk to you."

"... About what?" Ed asks.

"Judging from how you always listen to metal on the radio, I take it that's your favorite music or one of your favorites, am I right?" Rachel asks.

"I heart metal, ehehe!" Ed answers.

"Great, because I have an offer!" Rachel begins: "Sean was the guitarist and backup vocals for our band, Eterntal Moonlight. But since he's out of the question now, we're looking for a replacement so we can participate in the Battle of the Bands for a 500-dollar prize. And we're considering YOU, Ed! Your scream earlier was totally hardcore, and I think you'll provide perfect backup vocals until Sean recovers! Plus, I got a spare guitar in my garage! So what do you say?!"

"Oh my God... MY DREAM'S COME TRUE, DOUBLE-D!!" Ed shakes Double-D excitedly, then does a spontaneous metal number in which he jumps around, runs up his house's wall (classic Ed), and drops down while playing an imaginary guitar. But then he abruptly freezes mid-jump... "Could you teach me how to play guitar?"

"Sure!" Rachel answers, then Ed happily continues his metal number, ending it with his HARDCORE SCREAM!! Then he does his trademark excited laugh.


Over the course of several days, Ed takes part in band practice with Rachel, Bill and Dean. After a few rough starting sessions, Ed eventually masters the electric guitar, learns the songs' backup lyrics, and later goes to Hot Topic at the mall...

Sarah is eating dinner at the table with her parents. Ed's & Sarah's mom closely resembles Sarah but has dirty blonde hair tied into a bun, paler skin, and wears a blue housedress with an apron. Their father (reading a newspaper) more closely resembles Ed with yellow skin, red hair and a unibrow, but he also has a beard that connects to his hair. He wears a white polo shirt, blue jeans and black shoes.

They hear Ed coming in: "I'M HOME!" he announces as he enters the kitchen...

".... OH MY GOD, EDWIN!!..." Mom shouts in shock upon seeing Ed's new appearance: he dyed his hair black-&-purple, and is wearing a black T-shirt with a cross logo, black pants with chains, purple shoes, and black wristbands.

".... Pffff!... Ehehe!... Eheeheehee!" Sarah giggles at Ed's new goth look, then falls to the floor in a fit of all-out laughter while their mom just stares in utter shock.

"Heh, kids these days!" their dad merely continues reading the newspaper.


The next day, Double-D sees Ed's new look as the latter meets up with Rachel at the candy shop with his guitar.

"..... ED, IS THAT YOU?!" he asks, shocked by Ed's new appearance.

"You bet it is!" Ed answers. Eddy sees this, and laughs so hard he turns red!

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!! ED'S JOINED THE EMO TRAIN, HAHAHA-"

Rachel grabs Eddy by his lip and lifts him off the ground (yeowch): "Let's get one thing straight, buddy. We are GOTHS, not EMOS. Remember that, because this is strike 1 out of 3."

"Got it!" Eddy utters in pain as he gives an affirmative thumbs up, then Rachel drops him.

"So Ed, how's band practice going?" Double-D asks. "You're still going for the Battle of the Bands tomorrow night?"

"It's splendid, guys!" Ed answers. "I'm the most wicked screamer alive! Eternal Moonlight has the 500-buck prize in the bag!"

"Did you just say '500 bucks?!'" Eddy asks with interest.

"Yup, and we're winning it!" Ed answers.

"We'll still have some solid competition, Ed. So remember to do your best!" Rachel tells Ed. "Now let's rehearse one more time for tomorrow!"

Ed and Rachel go to her house.

"Doesn't it just hearten you to see how well Ed's progressing with his potential music career?!" Double-D asks Eddy.

"Of course! Just imagine all the money they'll make, and Ed's sure to share some with us!" Eddy exclaims. "But wait... that girl with Ed, what's her name again?"

"Rachel." Double-D reminds Eddy.

"Yeah, her! She's right about their havin solid competition." Eddy says. "500 dollars is too good to miss, and Ed ain't the only hardcore screamer around."

"What are you getting at?" Double-D asks.

"Oh, nothin!" Eddy lies. "I'm just crossin my fingers for my dear rockstar pal! I suggest you do the same and pray that the tables sway in their favor, because the Battle of the Bands is gonna be intense this year!"

To be Continued...


Trivia: Sean is named after Sean Pierce, the show's music recording engineer. Bill and Dean are named after the sound mixers, Bill Sheppard and Dean Giammarco.

Character Inspiration: I designed Rachel and Sean after 2 goths (I forgot their names since I lost my yearbook) who attended my high school. But only the girl ever went to class and talked to me, so I made Rachel one of my 5 main OCs. I added Bill and Dean to make my goths into a band.
