Episode #9: The Incredible Ed


Physical Education class is in session at Peach Creek Jr. High, where today it's being held outside. We see Jimmy preparing to race against Zoe and three other students through an obstacle course. Jimmy wears a white shirt, turquoise sweatpants, tennis sneakers, and a turquoise headband. Zoe wears a black tanktop, yellow shorts, black-&-white sneakers, and the same armbands. Her normal pigtails were restyled into a ponytail for Physical Education.

"Ready, aaaand... GO!" The gym teacher signals, and the racers begin.

"Time for Zoe to put her ninja skills to use!" Zoe says in third-person, dashing ahead of the others to jump over and roll under barricades, run across a long balance beam, climb a rope-net, swing between elevated platforms, go down a slide, jump a wide gap, and climb a stone wall to ring her bell at the top! "WHOOHOO, I WIN!"

The other racers, being less agile than Zoe, take longer to get through the obstacle course. Jimmy quickly falls behind them as he has much more difficulty keeping up, due to his weak physique. He finally falls while swinging between the elevated platforms.

"AAAAAAHHH!!" Jimmy hits the ground hard. He manages to get up and catch his breath, then a volleyball lands at his feet.

"Hey dude, come join us! We need another player!" Kyle invites Jimmy to play volleyball. He wears a white tanktop, green shorts, and white sneakers.

"I'd be delighted!" Jimmy joins the game on Kyle's team. Kyle shows amazing skill and spikes the ball at one point to score for his team. But when the opposing team turns the tables...

"JIMMY, QUICK!!" one of Jimmy's teammates shouts at him to hit the ball back over the net. Jimmy does hit the ball, but so weakly that it still lands on their side, allowing the opposing team to score. They laugh at Jimmy, whose teammates berate him.

"Lay off, guys." Kyle wards off the others in Jimmy's defense, then tells Jimmy "No offense Jim, but you really gotta work on your arms. Try liftin some weights over there." he points towards the weights.

"Um, ok." Jimmy goes over to lift weights, where Sarah is doing the same. She wears an outfit similar to what she wore in "Rock-A-Bye-Ed." While she is easily lifts fifty-pound dumbells, Jimmy can barely lift twenty pounds!

"Come on, Jimmy! Put some muscle into it!" Sarah cheers on Jimmy, who strains so much in lifting the dumbells that he turns red and veins bulge out of his head. So Sarah helps him lift up the dumbells, but she applies too much force and makes Jimmy whack himself in the face with one of the dumbells, sending him for a loop and he lands face-down!

"Oooh, I'm sorry Jimmy!" Sarah apologizes, helping Jimmy up.

"Aaaargh, what's wrong with me?!" Jimmy asks himself in frustration as he was unable to even lift lightweight dumbells.


Later, lunchtime comes. Sarah, Kyle and Zoe sit at their table with school-served lunch while waiting for Jimmy to arrive. Jimmy comes in with his own bag and heads towards his table.

"GAH!!" Jimmy halts in front of a big, intimidating bully. He wears a sleeveless black shirt, blue jeans, black sneakers, a red bandana, and has a "Mom" tattoo on his shoulder.

"Um... Hello, Andrew..." Jimmy greets shakily.

"Hey, squirt! Let's see what ya got today!" Andrew reaches for Jimmy's lunch. Sarah, Kyle and Zoe hear Jimmy's scream, then rush over to see Andrew taking his lunch away and rejoining his gang. "Yo, boys! The squirt got fruit this time!"

Andrew and his gang all share Jimmy's lunch with each other and walk away while eating it.

"HEY, WHO THE HECK YA GUYS THINK YOU ARE?!" Sarah shouts angrily at the bullies, but Kyle holds her back.

"Sarah, don't make a scene or you'll get in trouble!" Kyle warns Sarah while Zoe tends to the bruised Jimmy, who finally breaks down:

"WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"


Jimmy continues crying after school in his room, where his parents hear him from downstairs.

"Uuugh. Wendy, go check what's wrong with James." Jimmy's dad sends his wife (Wendy) upstairs. She stops at Jimmy's door.

"Jimmy?... Is something wrong, dear?" she asks.

"I HATE MY LIFE!! WHY WAS I BORN LIKE THIS?!!" Jimmy cries. "I'M SO WEAK!! AND BECAUSE OF THAT, EVERYDAY'S THE SAME!! NOTHING EVER CHANGES!! BOY WAS I DELUSIONAL TO THINK THAT I'D BE A WORLD-FAMOUS ENTERTAINER SOMEDAY!!! I'M PATHETIC!!! I'M NOTHING!!!"

"Don't say that, you're not nothing." Wendy tries cheering up her son: "You're our special and talented little boy! Come on, let's talk for a little bit."

She opens Jimmy's door, only to be blasted back by a deluge of tears that Jimmy flooded his room with. It surges downstairs, where Jimmy's dad (James Sr.) is also caught, and he and Wendy are washed out through their front door. Then Zoe suddenly appears in Jimmy's room, sitting with him.

"Z-Zoe? How'd you get in here?" Jimmy asks.

"My beastly ninja stealth!" Zoe answers. "Now listen up! Kyle's gonna help you improve yourself with this wicked workout routine!"

"It isn't gonna help." Jimmy says gloomily. "I couldn't even lift ten-pound dumbells for Pete's sake."

Hearing Jimmy's pessimism, Zoe becomes more serious: "Kyle planned this routine specifically for you, Jimmy. Do ya wanna be a noodle-armed weakling all your life?"

"......... No, not anymore." Jimmy answers. "I'll do it." he accepts, and Zoe's smile returns!


Soon afterwards, Kyle starts helping out Jimmy, who's in his gym attire again.

"Ok man, legs straight and chest out." Kyle fixes Jimmy's posture.

"So when do I start?" Jimmy asks.

"Right now!" Kyle answers. "First, you're gonna run ten laps around the cul-de-sac. Come and tell me when you're done. And by looking at how much you sweat and your respiration rate, I'll know if ya did ten laps or not."

Jimmy's eyes bug out upon hearing this, but he regains himself. He runs the exhausting ten laps, after which he tells Kyle and is rehydrated by Sarah. Then Kyle has him do push-ups, sit-ups, chin-ups on the monkey bars at the park, crunches, and so on while Sarah and Zoe cheer Jimmy on. They repeat the routine for the next few days, and he eventually collapses while doing the ten laps again.

"Oh, this isn't getting me anywhere." Jimmy sulks, trying to get up again.


At Rolf's farm, the sheep are grazing. A coyote sneaks in to take one of them, but he's quickly caught and thrashed around by Fido (this is a homage to the "Ralph and Sam" skits from Looney Tunes). Nearby, Rolf is wheeling a wheelbarrow full of orange mushrooms down the sidewalk, past Ed and Kevin who are playing basketbal against each other, and towards Double-D's garage where he's taking part in a science project with Double-D and Eddy.

"Here you go, head-in-sock Ed boy! The final supply of Titan Caps, the enchanted fungi that grant even the wimpiest of wimpy creatures the strength of an ox!" Rolf delivers the Titan Cap mushrooms.

"Thank you, Rolf! I already managed to extract enough Titan Cap enzymes for about three dozen doses!" Double-D answers and shows three racks on their worktable, each of which holds a dozen vials filled with Titan Cap extract. "Now Eddy... Eddy?..."

"Oh, comin!" Eddy comes back in from a fruit beverage scam he's doing on the front lawn. "What is it?"

"Did you get the test mice, Eddy?" Double-D asks.

"Oh yeah, right." Eddy zips away for a sec, then returns with a tank of mice. "So what are we doin again?"

"We're testing out how different quantities of Titan Cap dosage effect mice." Double-D explains while caging the mice in seperate cages: "We'll inject each group of mice with different amounts of Titan Cap extract, then we'll monitor their progress over a three-day period and record the results! The point of our project is to determine whether or not Titan Cap extract has the same side effects as anabolic steroids, thus ultimately confirming whether or not it could be used as a safer alternative in the future. Speaking of which, Rolf, do you know of any side effects?"

"Rolf does not, for Papa only allows one fungus for every twenty-four hours to work the lean winter days." Rolf answers.

"So, what you guys are sayin is these toadstools make ya stronger?" Eddy asks.

"Yes." Double-D and Rolf answer. Eddy sees Jimmy struggling to complete his laps outside, then takes two racks of Titan Cap extracts. Double-D asks "Eddy, where are you going with those?"

"Takin em to my place for safe keepin, just in case!" Eddy answers. "Besides, I doubt we'll be usin all of it."

Eddy is actually using the extracts for his fruit beverage scam. He takes the vials, pours the extracts into the drinks, and shakes them to mix. Then he renames his scam, painting "BUFFRUIT SHAKES"(merging "buff" and "fruit") onto his stand. Jimmy, now laying exhausted on the ground, sees this...

"Buffruit?.... Oh, GOODY!" Jimmy springs back onto his feet and dashes towards Eddy's stand.

"Welcome, Jimmy my boy!" Eddy greets. "Feelin like a wimp and you wanna do somethin about it, but can't cuz you're THAT freakin weak? Then today's your big break! Buffruit Shakes build muscle faster than you can say 'onomatopoeia', and they come in many different flavors! Plus, they're only a dollar each!"

"Yes, YES!! I'll take one!" Jimmy pays to buy one, and immediately drinks up. He shakes for a bit...

... Then he buffs up Popeye-style, blowing steam from his ears!

"W-Wow, I can already feel it taking effect!" Jimmy exclaims, then a basketball lands at his feet.

"Yo Fluffy, pass the ball back here, will ya?" Kevin requests so he and Ed can resume their game. Jimmy picks up the ball, then he decides to test his new strength with it. He dribbles the ball towards the hoop and makes an easy slam dunk, causing Ed's and Kevin's jaws to drop to the ground in surprise and amazement!

"Whoa Jimmy! When did you get so good?!" Ed asks. Sarah, Zoe and Kyle saw the whole thing.

"WHOOHOO!!" Sarah and Zoe hug Jimmy, while Kyle remarks "Looks like my plan's startin to pay off!"

"Boy Jimmy, we can't wait to see how well ya do in gym tomorrow!" Sarah exclaims.

"Yeah, you could probably be a ninja now!" Zoe adds. After they go, Jimmy returns to Eddy's Buffruit stand.

"I'll take all of them; they beat working out by a long shot!" Jimmy pays up to buy ALL of the Buffruit shakes. Eddy is speechless at first...

"....... GYAHA, NOW I GOT THE MULA TO KEEP ME GOIN TIL I GET ANOTHER JOB!!" Eddy dances around with his jar of money!


The next day in school, Jimmy drinks Buffruit for gym class to boost his performance. He manages to keep up with Zoe on the obstacle course, plays volleyball with Kyle to lead their team to victory, and easily lifts heavy weights like Sarah! Even the gym teacher takes note of this.


Later, the four are going to lunch together. Jimmy has his own lunch again.

"The gym teacher said I've improved enormously!" Jimmy tells his friends. "He even suggested I join one of the sports teams!"

"Wow ahahahaha, most WICKED!" Zoe exclaims. "But you should totally be a ninja, like me!"

"Which one you wanna join, dude?" Kyle asks.

"Don't know yet." Jimmy is unsure. They enter the cafeteria, where Andrew and his gang stand in their way.

"What do ya got today, squirt?!" Andrew lifts Jimmy upside-down by his ankle, but Jimmy holds onto his lunch.

"Don't let him get to you, Jimmy!" Sarah shouts, and Jimmy breaks free from Andrew's grasp.

"Andrew, I'm not the same as before. I'm not letting you take my lunch this time!" Jimmy stands his ground.

"Heh, ya got guts, squirt!" Andrew comments. "But now I'm gonna have to rip em outta ya."

Andrew attacks Jimmy, and Andrew's gang holds back Sarah, Kyle and Zoe to make them watch. Jimmy tries fending off Andrew, but in the process, he drops his lunch and accidentally falls on it, ruining it.

"..... You ruined my lunch..." Andrew then slams Jimmy. Despite Jimmy's new strength, it's still no match against the brutish Andrew. Everyone in the cafeteria watches Andrew pulverize Jimmy and throw him around, cracking the floor and walls in the process. Sarah, Zoe and Kyle try breaking free from the other bullies to help Jimmy.

"GET OFF!!" Sarah releases herself through sheer force. Zoe uses her flexibility to slip out from her captor's grasp, and Kyle bites the arm of the bully holding him to make him let go. Sarah, Zoe and Kyle rush to get Andrew off Jimmy, but then teachers step in.

"OK, THAT'S ENOUGH!!" one of the teachers shouts, and all the students freeze. Another looks at Andrew and his lackeys. "You're coming with us."

The teachers take Andrew and the remaining bullies to the office. Sarah, Kyle and Zoe help the heavily bruised Jimmy to the nurse's office. Then one of the teachers comes in for Sarah, Kyle and Zoe:

"You three. We need you in the office for what happened during lunch." the teacher says.

"Right." Sarah, Kyle and Zoe leave with the teacher. Jimmy covers his face in frustration, remembering all the times Andrew bullied him.

His frustration turns to anger, then more anger. He starts shaking with rage and he turns red. Then the screen cracks, and it finally shatters!


The next morning, the vengeful Jimmy takes all the Buffruit from inside the refrigerator.

"Push me around, will he?" Jimmy drinks a Buffruit, then another, and another... "HE'LL REGRET THE DAY HE FIRST MESSED WITH JAMES LUCAS BLACKWELL JR!!!"

He drinks ALL the Buffruit..... then he feels a sharp pain in his stomach. Holding his stomach in pain, Jimmy SCREAMS as his body trembles and shifts like crazy (like Ed did in "Flea Bitten Ed"). Then...

"GRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!" we see Jimmy's shadow grow ten times bigger and develop a ripped outline!!! His mom Wendy, wearing her morning robe and slippers, comes into the kitchen after hearing his screams. She sees Jimmy...

... And immediately faints!!

To Be Continued...


Trivia: Jimmy's bully Andrew is named after one of the storyboard artists, Andrew Park. And in "Your Ed Here," Eddy calls Jimmy "Blackwell" at one point, so I believe that is Jimmy's surname.

Character Inspiration: Kyle is based on (and named after) one of my old friends from middle school, and he was one of the very few friends I had at that time. He enjoyed playing his guitar, which he deeply cherished, and I exaggerated this trait for Kyle's character. He also helped others a lot, and this the inspiration for my character Kyle helping Sarah with her anger and Jimmy with his insecurity. And since the name Kyle always makes me think of a stereotypical surfer dude, I decided to add that theme to him and his house.
