Hey, guys! Thanks for the reviews and PMs praising my last two episodes as my best, but to be honest, I don't know if my next few episodes will be able to live up to "Betroth-Ed" and "Return of the Eds." But with the end of the Teens Series approaching, I'm doing my best with my final episodes.


Episode #21: Here Today, Ed Tomorrow


It's nighttime, and in Eddy's room, Double-D stands beside Eddy's bed as the latter throws out stuff from under it. Eddy groans in frustration.

"Damn, I know it's here somewhere. Maybe Mom misplaced it again." Eddy says in aggravation.

"Dare I ask, for what item are you rummaging under your bed for?" Double-D asks.

"Found em!" Eddy half-emerges from under his bed with a pair of bowling sneakers: "I was lookin for these, Sockhead! I need em for tomorrow noon."

"Tomorrow... noon?..." Double-D asks, emphasizing noon. "You do know that we'll be being educated during noon tomorrow, right? Because tomorrow is a Friday and thus, a school day."

"We won't be in school, because tomorrow is Senior Skip Day!" Eddy replies as Ed comes in, carry two bags: "Yeah Double-D, we're all doin it!"

Double-D is surprised by Ed: "Ed, you're skipping? But your need for education surpasses the importance for the rest of us!"

"I know, but if I don't go along, we won't have a plot." Ed replies.

"Thatta boy, Ed!" Eddy jumps onto Ed and takes one of the bags, using the bag to put his shoes and a bunch of clothes inside. He then leads Ed out while telling him "I'll show ya what you'll need for tomorrow."

Double-D is left alone in Eddy's room.

"Hymph, I almost pity them. There they go, frolicking off as they please without a care in the world." Double-D says, leaving through Eddy's back door. "But I, on the other hand, have no intentions to waste a single day's worth of academic experience."


The next morning, Double-D is asleep in his bed, but he remains asleep for a while even after the sun has risen up. Then his alarm clock finally rings.

"Happy dawn, world!" Double-D greets as he gets up to turn off his clock's alarm. But upon turning it off, he sees the time: "ELEVEN-THIRTY AM!?"

"Rise n shine, pointdexter!" Eddy greets from Double-D's open door.

"Outta my way! I missed breakfast and I'm late for school!" Double-D shoves Eddy aside as he frantically rushes into the bathroom to shower. He washes himself at cartoon-speed, but after coming out in his bathrobe...

"Hold it there!" Eddy puts his hand out to stop the still-running Double-D in the hallway: "Don't bother. It's pointless goin this late."

Double-D smacks Eddy's hand away and points an accusing finger at him: "YOU reset the time on my alarm clock, didn't you?" Double-D asks suspiciously.

"Ok, you got me there." Eddy admits. "But dude, you really gotta loosen up and have fun once in a while. Besides, you were already out sick back in March, so you ain't gettin no Perfect Attendance Award."

Double-D shouts "You don't understand. Acadamics take top prio-"

"Chilax, Double-D! Come downstairs and look at this." Eddy brings Double-D down to the living room, where news reporter Linda Simensky (who previously appeared in "From Ed to Eternity") appears on TV in front of Peach Creek High:

"Here we are at the Peach Creek High campus, where there are no seniors in attendance." Simensky reports: "According to the school administration, all 250 students of the senior class have skipped out today, a first in the school's history."

"Now, tell me that bein the only senior at school today wouldn't be lonely." Eddy tells Double-D.

"I can't believe it... Every... single... one?... Even Nazz and Jenna?" Double-D asks in bug-eyed shock. "But how could the entirety of the senior class have skipped?"

"It was planned, obviously. Don't know by who, but the word spread. And yes, even Nazz and Jenn!" Eddy presses Double-D's face on the front window to show the sunny day outside: "Not even Nazz and Jenn would skip out on a perfect day like this!"

Ed comes in from the kitchen, eating a grinder and wearing a bowling shirt similar to Eddy's, but with short sleeves and colored pink instead of yellow.

"And Jenn took her dad's old minivan to spend today and the weekend with Kevin at Pomelo Beach." Ed explains.

"For some loooone time!" Eddy adds, raising his eyebrows suggestively. "Now excuse me a moment, Ed!"

Eddy goes out the front door, then Double-D turns to Ed: "So Ed. If word of the senior skip was spread and eventually reached you and Eddy, then who's the one that told you two?"

"Uhhhh..." Ed takes a moment to remember: "Eddy told me, and he learned it from Paul. I think..."

Thank you very much, Ed!" Double-D thanks, dressing into his usual clothes off-screen before heading outside. "I'm off to find Paul- HEY!!"

"Yeah, we're borrowin your van for a little while." Eddy tells Double-D as he backs Double-D's retro van out of the driveway.

"HEY, DOUBLE-D!!" Lee and May pop out to wave at Double-D. They're also wearing bowling shirts that are respectively yellow and pink, and May did her hair into a long ponytail.

Double-D protests "ALL OF YOU EXIT MY VEHICLE THIS INSTANT! I GAVE YOU NO PERMI-"

Double-D then gets trampled mid-sentence by Ed as the latter rushes with his bag (the one he had at the episode's start) to join Eddy, Lee and May in the van.

"BOWLING ALLEY, AWAYYYY!!" Ed shouts excitedly as Eddy drives off with him, Lee and May, leaving a battered Double-D to give chase in futility, and he's quickly left in the dust. He drops and coughs in the cloud of exhaust smoke, and as it clears...

"There you are, cuddle-muffin!" Marie walks up to Double-D, grabs his arm, and yanks him onto his feet. "We're goin to the diner!"

Marie takes Double-D with her to her mother's pickup truck, which she is borrowing. Double-D asks "Wait, Marie. Is your mother ok with you driving her pickup truck?"

"She knows." Marie answers as she throws Double-D into the passenger seat, then she gets into the driver's seat to start the vehicle. "Me and Lee both got licenses, so Mom lets us drive whenever she ain't usin it. Now buckle up."

Marie drives the pickup truck down the street at a fast speed, passing Jonny along the way as he rides on his motor scooter. Jonny is also wearing a yellow bowling shirt. Marie then makes a sharp turn onto Main Street, making Double-D jerk in his seat.

"Marie, I don't mean to be impolite, but could you please drive a bit more smoothly?" Double-D asks, and Marie replies "No worries, we're goin straight from here."

Main Street widens as Marie and Double-D come to an intersection with stoplights. Then a car-horn beeps from their right, and they see that it's Rachel in her car. Rachel did her hair into a ponytail similar to Marie's.

"HEY, RACH!" Marie calls out. "WHERE YA GOIN?!"

"THE DINER!" Rachel answers.

"WANNA RACE?!" Marie asks with a devious grin. Rachel answers with the same expression, and she revs her car! This surprises Double-D, and he utters "Ohhh cr-"

The stoplights turn green, and Marie and Rachel zoom down the street, picking up speed as they go! While Marie and Rachel smirk at each other as they pass each other repeatedly, Double-D SCREAMS dramatically as he's forced back against his seat by Marie's driving speed. By the time they and Rachel reach the diner, called "DeLisle's Diner," Double-D cartoonishly melts into liquid and spills out of his seat when Marie opens the door for him.


Inside DeLisle's, Double-D, Marie and Rachel are eating together. Double-D is having a French-based lunch, Marie's is Dutch-based, and Rachel's is Irish-based. All have lattes as their drinks.

"You ok, Double-D?" Marie asks, and Rachel adds "Yeah, you didn't take one bite yet."

"Sorry, it's that I'm still reeling from the extreme acceleration you two engaged in." Double-D explains. "And Rachel, I never thought you'd ever do anything like that. And the face you made when you did so. Both were..."

"Out of character?" Rachel guesses, and Double-D answers "... Yes."

"You really don't know Rachel, do ya?" Marie tells Double-D as she eats.

"Emphasis on that." Rachel agrees, then tells Double-D "Believe it or not, Lee, Marie and I challenge each other quite often, and so do Sean, Bill and Dean."

"Huh?" Double-D asks. "I never would've thought, because I believed that you and those boys would... detest that form of activity. I always saw you four as... well, you would be offended."

"You always saw us as goths." Rachel assumes after sipping her latte.

"... Sort of." Double-D answers.

"Well, just because we're 'goth' doesn't mean we constantly obsess about death, worship Satan, hang out in cemeteries, and basically hate everything." Rachel explains: "All of that crap is nothing more than stereotyping bullshit, kinda like how this one prick said I always eat potatoes because I'm Irish. Us 'goths' are completely normal people like everyone else. We 'goths' laugh and joke around like everyone else, and hell, we even laugh at ourselves. Us 'goths' believe in all kinds of religions like everyone else. I'm Catholic, and Dean is Jewish. And us 'goths' also have tons of interests and fashion tastes like everyone else. Bill, Dean, Sean and I came together because we listen to the same kind of music, we read and discuss literature, and we like the colors black & purple. And to tell the truth, we don't really like being called 'goths' either. But since some people are stubborn assholes who'll always call us that, plus other names like 'emos,''vampires' and 'corpses,' we just settled for 'goths' because we find it less offensive."

"Gee, that... really shed some light for me." Double-D says.

"Hey, you learn something new every day!" Rachel replies. "Now let's hurry up and finish lunch, or brunch in your case."

Once lunch is finished, the three head outside. As they go, Double-D sees what appears to be a telescope sticking out of a bush at the corner of his eye. He stops and turns to it, but the telescope retracts into the bush.

"Will you excuse me a minute, ladies." Double-D asks Marie and Rachel, who are heading towards Rachel's car.

"Sure! We need to smoke anyway." Marie answers as she and Rachel light cigarettes in front of Rachel's car. Double-D goes up to the bush...

"Back up, DD! Go away!" Paul's voice mumbles from inside the bush.

"Paul?..." Double-D recognizes Paul's voice, then Paul's arm reaches out and pulls Double-D into the bush with him, where Paul has his telescope.

"You tryna blow my hidin spot, man?" Paul asks as Double-D notices his telescope. "I'm dead if Ray Ray spots me."

"What?... After everything Ed, Eddy and I did to assist you with suppressing your perversion back in January, you're up to your old dirty shenanigans again? And with Rachel of all people?" Double-D asks. "You remember what happened when you peeped on her in seventh grade, don't you?"

"I ain't peepin on her or Grungy Blue if that's what yer thinkin." Paul explains as he looks at the smoking Rachel: "I'm followin Ray Ray around in secret as part of my experiment."

"Experiment?" Double-D asks in confusion.

"I been studyin Ray Ray since Monday." Paul explains, showing a notepad to Double-D: "I'm observin her and writin down her hobbies, likes, favorites, everythin. No I ain't some creepy stalker or pedo or nothin, and I don't wanna go back to bein some bitchass perv either. Everyone hated me for it, especially Ray Ray. But she's just so fuckin hot n classy, y'know? She a white girl with a Puerto Rican ass and tits that ain't too flat or huge. I couldn't help myself, and my horniness... It got the best of me..."

Flashback: We see the 13-year-old Paul inside an empty locker in the PCJH girls' locker room. He giggles as he watches Rachel, who has her hair in a ponytail and is wearing a gray tanktop, purple sweatpants, and black-&-white converses.

"Oh yes!" Paul whispers with pervy glee as Rachel removes her tanktop, revealing a black bra! Paul giggles "Geeheeheeheeheehee!!..."

"Huh?" Rachel hears his giggling and looks around, but since it's too vague, she shrugs it off and continues undressing by removing her sneakers.

"Ooohhhh!!" Paul arousal builds up as Rachel begins to pull down her sweatpants. "Oh God, yes! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!"

But Paul only gets a glimpse of Rachel's pink-&-purple panties before she pulls her sweatpants back up, for she has heard Paul. She reaches for the locker he's in, and she opens it!

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!!" both scream, and the very angry Rachel yells "YOU SICK PERVERT!" as she grabs Paul by his shirt!

"OH SHIT!" Paul quickly frees himself and tries to run, but Rachel tears the door off the locker Paul was in to throw it at him, knocking him into the wall and he bounces back towards Rachel's feet! He sees Rachel standing above him with a dark, scary look on her face, frightening him and he starts sweating in fear!

"Oh please, Ray Ray! I'm sorry!" Paul begs for mercy, but Rachel grabs his ankle. The Kankers come in and see what Rachel is about to do to Paul, but we only see their shadows on the wall. Paul SCREAMS as Rachel flips him over and holds him by the ankle. The rest goes unseen, but we hear a ripping sound, and the Kankers smile in amusement as Paul SCREAMS and SCREAMS!!

End Flashback

"That day still haunts me, and Ray Ray still scares me shitless." Paul shudders. "But I wanna change that. I wanna make it up to her and show her I changed. That's why I'm studyin her. You feel me?"

"I see, Paul, but-" Double-D is cut off when Marie calls for him: "YO CREAM-PUFF, WE'RE GOIN!"

"COMING!" Double-D answers, but remembers to ask Paul something: "Oh Paul, um... Who informed you of the senior skip?"

"I believe... Country Boy." Paul answers.

"Thank you! Now you just be careful with Rachel. That's all I can say." Double-D tells Paul before leaving the bush to rejoin Marie as she and Rachel get into their vehicles. "My apologies. An intriguing insect caught my eye."

"I'll see you two at at the party tonight!" Rachel says as she closes her car door.

"What? We're... You're attending a party?" Double-D asks in surprise.

"Wow, Double-D. It really seems you don't know people as well as you think you do." Rachel says. "Yes, I'm attending Nazz's party. Even I need to get loose every once in a while."

"See ya, Rach!" Marie waves goodbye as she back out of her parking spot and drives off with Double-D, who asks "Marie?"

"Yes, sweetie?" Marie asks.

"Will you drop me off at Rolf's? I must speak with him." Double-D says.


Meanwhile, at a bowling alley called "SAMPSON'S SILVER LANES," the yellow-wearing Eddy, Lee, Nazz and Jonny are bowling against the pink-wearing Ed, May, Steve and Christine.

"SPARE!" Ed shouts after scoring a spare.

"Eight out of ten." Jonny says after he bowls his frame.

"Ok, so that brings your score to 102." Eddy says as he grabs his ball. "My turn!"

Eddy bowls, and he scores a strike. His team cheers, and as Nazz goes up to bowl, Lee tells Eddy's score: "135, munchkin! We're winnin right now!"

"Not for long, guys! We got Turkey Sandwich Ed on our side!" Steve points to Ed who's sitting as he awaits his turn, with May massaging his shoulders while Christine bowls.

"Heh, you'll need more than him to beat me, McCrankin Eddy!" Eddy boasts while posing, then Nazz approaches him from behind after tagging Lee to bowl. "Wassup, Nazz?"

"Eddy, you remember to buy the drinks for my party, right?" Nazz asks.

"Yeah, I'm buyin a whole bunch at Francis Wines & Liquors." Eddy answers. "It's all good!"

"Oh and Ed, Rolf wants over at his place once we're done with our game here." Nazz informs Ed.

"Got it." Ed affirms as he steps up again to bowl after May finishes. We see from the pins' perspective as he bowls, knocking all the pins for a strike and they fly into the screen, blacking it out.

To be Continued...


Trivia: DeLisle's Diner is named after Grey DeLisle, my ideal voice actress for Rachel! And Double-D, Marie and Rachel respectively getting French, Dutch and Irish meals there are references to what I see as their ethnicities: Double-D being French (or partly at least), Marie plus the other Kankers being Dutch (again, at least partly) because "Kanker" is Dutch for "cancer," and Rachel is Irish. Sampson's Silver Lanes is named after Eddy's voice actor, Tony Sampson, and Ed's & Eddy's bowling aliases are based on terms from bowling jargon. Francis Wines & Liquors is named after Andrew Francis, my ideal voice actor for Kyle!

And also, thanks to CasaNova73099 for helping me out with this episode, particularly with Ed's fourth-wall break!
