Double D's log:
Something just didn't feel right today. I was ok and had everything packed already onto a small golf cart with a tow trailer in the back, which father had rented for me to use. There was enough room for more belongings but there was nothing I had left, so I headed over to Ed's home to see if he needed any help transporting.
*Ed's House*
I parked the golf cart parallel to the sidewalk neatly then slowly walked over to the door. Just as I was about to knock and ring the doorbell, Sarah had quickly opened the door carrying what seemed to be Ed's gym bag. The same gym bag we used as an excuse to find the "treasure" we thought Eddy's brother had hidden underneath the Kanker sister's trailer. What's odd about it is that his gym bag looked like it was just washed recently. How I wish one of those wish bones would've actually worked for me on that dreaded day.
"Oh good evening Sarah. I was just wondering if Ed was ready with his belongings". "Oh.. Err- hey Double D." blushed Sarah. Sarah still had a crush on Double D from the time he had given her the flower which made Jimmy angry for taking her away. "Um so yeah, I packed up some of Ed's stuff last night and was just helping him move it out". "Oh well that's mighty thankful of you Sarah. I actually came to see if he needed help as well because father had given me this tow trailer attached to the golf cart you see there to help him move some of his belongings". "Oh well that takes care of things. So is it true that you guys are moving into that abandoned house down the road?". "Yes it's very true. It was the only way to keep the three of us from being separated from each other". "How come?". Double D had explained all the events that had happened yesterday with their parents and the deal that was made, while he and Sarah were putting away all of Ed's belongings onto the trailer.
"I knew something was wrong with Ed last night but this sounded so horrible". "Indeed it does Sarah. You wouldn't have been able to see me, Ed, nor Eddy until we had finished high school in different states. Heaven forbid that we wouldn't have been allowed to come during vacation and holidays." "Well.. at least you guys made the right choice.". "Indeed. Now where is Ed if I may ask?". "I'll get em".
About a minute had gone by until the silence outside had been broken. "Ed! Get up right now mister!" yelled Sarah in a loud tone. "Ed don't wanna to go Sarah! Ed don't want to go!" pleaded Ed. Just then the door had slammed open because Sarah had just thrown Ed from across the entry way. I had quickly jumped for cover as Ed had slammed right into the pile of bags that his clothes were in on the trailer. "Goodness gracious! Sarah don't you think that that was a little too extreme?". "Hmm no. It was the only way that he was gonna come out. I'm gonna go call Jimmy. Bye-bye." waved Sarah walking back into the house. "Well then. Um let's get to our new place Ed. But first let's get Eddy". "Ouch.." said Ed.
"Eddy's House*
We came to Eddy's house close to 8:00 a.m. to see if he needed any help but there was barely any room left for anything big. As soon as we got there his dad had already told us that Eddy already went on ahead to the house. So we drove there to see that Eddy was sitting on the porch of the old wreck, surrounded by dandelions and a lot of his belongings.
*The Abandoned House*
"Well hello Eddy. Nice to see you here bright and early". "Yeah whatever sock head. I've been here since 7:00, carrying some of this load with me on the way". "Well we had stopped over at your place and your father had told us that you had already been here ahead of us.". Just then Ed jumped out of the trailer, inhaled the air around him carrying dust and started getting ready to sneeze. "No Ed no!" begged Double D and Eddy. "Ah-ah- ah-choo!" sneezed Ed.The dandelions were sent into the air like the first time they came to the house. "Come on lumpy you almost had it". "Sorry Eddy" said Ed. "Don't worry about it Ed. We're just nervous about this new experience living together" said Double D.
Just then a cop car pulled up to the sidewalk and out came out the Kanker sisters mom, Bebe, all dressed in uniform. "Evening boys. Ready to move in to your new pris- I mean new place. Hehe" Joked Bebe. "Just give us the keys already" grumbled Eddy. "Listen buster, that's your first strike already and that's just your first warning. Next one earns you a seat in the back with my girls." "Hiya boys" waved the Kanker sisters giggling. "Ahh!" screamed Eddy hiding in Ed's jacket pocket. "Oh my, Mrs. Kanker I do apologize for Eddy's rude behavior. It was an honest mistake. He just hasn't gotten over last night." said Double D. "Don't worry about it kid. Here sweet heart, take the keys. You have three copies right there out of six." "Where are the other three copies if I might ask?" "My girls got them around their necks right now." Double D was looking in udder shock watching the Kanker sisters swinging their copies back and forth from the back seat, giggling and throwing kisses towards him. "Don't you think that's a terrible idea for letting them keep those keys?" asked Double D shaking. "No my girls know how to handle themselves. Anyways, start moving your stuff in quick. I left extra planks of wood on the sides of the house for you boys just in case. Tools are in the shed in the back. I'm taking my girls to work now Hun". "Where do they work exactly?". "They got janitors work back at your school for the whole summer". "Oh well alright good for them."
Bebe got back into the car and drove off with the Kanker sister's fast, leaving a smoke trail behind. "Now we know what happened to the janitor" said Eddy climbing out of Ed's pocket. "Well fellows here are your copies of the house key. And Ed, do not swallow the key like last time" said Double D looking at Ed who was just about to put the key into his mouth. "Sorry Double D" apologized Ed. I walked up to the door and unlocked the entrance to our pest infested living quarters, only to be pushed aside by Eddy's rudeness of wanting to be the first one to be everywhere. "Eddy wait! Bebe said this house is in desperate need of repairs." Shouted Double D. "Would you relax sock head. Nothings gonna happen". Eddy walked 5 steps into the house and stood in the middle of the living room. "See. What I tell ya" Said Eddy.
Just then we heard creaking sounds echo throughout the house when suddenly the floor boards that Eddy was standing on gave way. Eddy quickly held onto the edge of the hole that was made from his weight breaking through the floor. "Ahh! Double D! Help me!". "Ed quick!" yelled Double D. "Don't worry Eddy I got ya". Ed punched a new hole through the floor, tearing off the piece of floor board that Eddy was holding onto and pointing it upward towards the ceiling. I was still in shock that Ed had all this strength and but still disappointed that he couldn't just do things the simple way. "Ed please just put Eddy down gently". Ed let go of the floor board he held onto and Eddy ended up face first on part of the floor that was still stable. Eddy was seeing stars. "Ed didn't I just say- Oh never mind. Hold on for just a second. I'm making a few phone calls". I quickly dialed for Kevin, Rolf, and Nazz as fast as possible before Ed had the chance to tear the house down completely. Heaven forbid that our first day here would be our last.
It took about 15 minutes for Kevin, Rolf, and Nazz to arrive but thankfully nothing else was broken. "Wow dude I can't believe you guys were moving into this place foreal. Sarah wasn't kidding when she called" said Nazz. "Oh I see she had already informed you our entire predicament". "Yeah you know. It beats staying at home with nothing to do, and being stuck at the Jaw Breaker's factory. So tell us what to do Double Dweeb. We'll get it done quick" said Kevin. "Well first things first-" (*Smash*). I was shocked to see that Ed had smashed his head through the wall next to the window, and Eddy was laughing in the background. "Ed! For Heavens' sake, would you please hold still?". "Sorry Double D. Eddy said there were spiders in my brain". "Eddy!" shouted Double D. "What? I was just messin' around".
"Eddy please. We haven't even been here for a day and already you're causing more unnecessary damage than the house can endure". "Eddy bro chill. Do you really wanna end up the same way your brother did?" said Nazz. Eddy was struck down deeply on the inside when he heard those words. "Ok I'm sorry. I won't do it again". With that said Eddy picked up a few planks of wood and a hammer from the side of the house. "I got some of these power tools and some boxes of nails that I bought with my paychecks from my job" said Kevin. "I brought these cans of paint that the art teacher from Peach Creek let me keep. I was her favorite" said Nazz. " And I, the son of a Shepard, brought victor here and gardening tools to help clear away this forsaken land fill left behind from the last owners" said Rolf.
Rolf managed to clear the entire yard around the house in less than 10 minutes. This was nothing compared to the farm work he does every single day. He even made a vegetable garden next to the shed in the back. While that was happening, the rest of us started taking out the old furniture lying around and put the out into the front yard. We started pulling out all the old floor boards out and into the garbage cans, while replacing the support beams underneath. I'm glad Kevin had a power saw with a stand to cut the wood equally. I was nervous seeing how far of a drop it would have been going to the basement. Eddy was lucky enough to survive, sort to say. We managed to get the living room finished by 11:00 a.m., when Jimmy and Sarah arrived with cleaning products to wipe down the furniture.
Next thing we did was take down the stairs; well Ed took down the stairs towards the upper right corner. Apparently he got the same skill from his parents, except he just grabbed it from the side and pulled it off; Replaced in 30 minutes. Then we replaced upper walkway, but only a few boards were old and creaking. I walked towards the first door turning into the right and no surprise it was locked from the inside. "Wait here people. Ed, Eddy and I will go around to the back way and we'll open the door" said Double D. So we headed down the hallway and turned to the left corner only to see that the back way had a wide open hole, with a plank of wood as the walk way. I knew that none of us were gonna make it if we jumped. We would've ended up underneath the house. So I got on top of Ed and Eddy got on top of me and we walked together as one person across. The wood broke apart though, so there was no going back.
We walked in and saw that it was a library and pool table room. A fire place by the wall with a trophy shelf, a pool table in the middle of the room, a coffee table, and a trophy stand on the second floor row of the room. I felt like I was in Heaven again with all the knowledge surrounding me. There were a few spiders jumping at us but thankfully Ed managed to squash them all, without using his head of course. I unlocked the door quick and we got out and headed back down the hallway again to the other door, but sad to say that it was also locked from the inside. " Double D, didn't the Kanker sister's mom give you keys to the rooms as well?" asked Jimmy. "No she didn't. She only had six copies of the house keys. Ed, Eddy and I have three and the Kanker's have the rest. We'll just have to look around the house for the back way into this room. Then we'll make the room keys later".
We all headed downstairs to the living room and went through the other hallway. There was a piece of the wall missing and yet another hole we had to cover up. I didn't even attempt to open the door ahead because I already knew that it was gonna locked. I instead went to the hole in the wall towards my right, which looked like a way into the room that was locked. "Can somebody lift me up over this hole over here?" asked Double D. Ed and Eddy came and threw me over. The room had a TV set, a cabinet and a wardrobe. I unlocked the door and asked Ed to move the wardrobe closet at the far corner of the room, over to the side. "Why do you need to move it over Double D?" asked Sarah. "I actually forgot to mention that I looked up the design of the house last night before I slept and saw that there were several designs that showed secret passage ways. You see Sarah; this switch here was hidden because there is in fact an underground passage way that goes through the house". I turned the switch and we all heard a rumbling noise coming down the hall. "Oh look Sarah. The book shelf over there is moving" said Jimmy. "Well that's one passage way down" said Nazz.
We all went towards the secret entrance and saw a pile of junk blocking our way to the left, so we went down the flight of stairs that still looked like they were intact. Somehow it was well lit. I'm guessing that the stone must've been a special material that reflects light. Around the stone walls were hearts painted in different colors. No doubt about it, this was where the Kanker sisters had us on that frightening rollercoaster ride experience. We reached the end of the hall to see a wide open room in the middle. Over to the left was a huge hill walkway heading up to what seemed to be another room. Kevin went up to inspect it. "Double D Ed boy, come look at this here" said Rolf. I walked over and saw a chasm full of water and a bunch of wood pointing straight to the other side. "No doubt about it, we would never be able to jump this or attempt to swim over to the other side. The wall is much too high for any of us to reach over, due to the water level being too low". "Hey guys. I actually found more old furniture up here and water pipes connected. A coffee table and some chairs. Real nice." said Kevin. "Kevin do you hear any water running through those pipes?". "Nope nothing, but there's a switch here I could turn it. Let me see". Kevin turned the switch and we all heard the water running through the system. Slowly the water in front of us was rising right up to where we needed it.
We walked over into another hallway towards us but out of nowhere these bats came and flew down from the ceiling. The girls, and Jimmy were screaming and running around shouting "Ahh! Get em off, get em off, get em off!". Rolf pulled out a beet from his pocket, jumped in the air and started wailing on the bats. "Away with you, pests from beyond what is good and sacred! You will not escape the son of a Shepard!". One of the bats was on the ground trying to jump in the air and fly away. The rest managed to run quickly out the way that we just came from. "Dude not cool. I swear I might have rabies if that those things bit me" said Nazz. "Not to worry Nazz girl. For the son of a Shepard shall be here to clear the way". "Let's just keep going and hope for the best" said Double D. We kept going forward and saw another flight of stairs that leads up to what seems to be a room, blocked off by a concrete wall. "Ed. I can't believe that I'm saying this but, please use your head". We all moved to the sides of the stairway as Ed ran as fast as he could towards the door way. I thought that it would be hard but it smashed to pieces right on contact. "Good idea telling mono-brow to use his head, sock head". "Why thank you for that compliment Eddy. I think".
"Well what do you know? Another room and covered up old furniture. A half broken mirror, 2 clothing drawers, a wardrobe closet, and a window blocked by wood. Oh hey, this one has a bunk bed" said Kevin. "Well it's very convenient that this is here, but I would rather have my bed to sleep in" said Double D. "Double D look at this" said Nazz. Nazz was looking out the door next to the opening Ed made, so I walked over to see what she wanted me to see. "Look over there towards the chandelier swinging". "My goodness! Just what were the last owners doing or what were they even thinking?". Everyone came out to see why I was yelling and came over to see an even wider chasm opening. Only this time it was extremely long and had an even longer piece of wood as the walkway. We could see the windows in front of us blocked with wood. Towards the left side seem to be another room and towards the right was a bathroom that looked completely filthy. "Either the last owners were crazy or they must've been circus performers to want something this big dude". "You could be right about that Nazz".
"Ed quick, go to the room and move that wardrobe closet out the way. I know that switch is behind there". I flipped the switch and what was weird is that the bunk bed flipped into the walls instead. I thought it would help open another passage but I guess not. At least I won't have to try to squeeze through and risk deep cuts. "Ok I'm climbing over this hole myself". I jumped through the hole in the wall into the bathroom, and good lord I couldn't stand that god awful smell. It smelled like.. Well due to my good nature, I wouldn't dare say the word. I ran to the door quickly and begged Nazz to spray the place down with perfume, if she had any on her. I quickly got a hold of myself and took in fresh air. "Dude that bathroom is just- oh man who would even live like this?".
The bathroom was such a wreck. 2 windows blocked with wood, a shelf, a mannequin standee, a mirror by the door, a water heater, 2 more drawers, a partially, yet filthy bathtub, the toilet looked worse than anything else in here, especially the inside. Guess we know why the place smelled so awful. "Ok everyone, here's what we're going to do. We're all going to have to walk across this long plank of wood to the other side". "Are you nuts sock head? What if it breaks?". "Eddy please. Ok if you feel that it may, and I actually believe that it will, then only 3 people should go; Ed, Eddy and I. If my calculations are correct, the door you see over there on the other side is actually the locked door that we passed earlier. So just in case, the rest of you go back the way we came and wait for us there". Nazz, Rolf, Kevin, Jimmy and Sarah went back, while Eddy, Ed and I climbed on top of each other again and walked our way across, while making sure the swinging chandelier didn't knock us over. Who knows how far that drop is? Even I didn't want to find out. The room seemed to be a make-up room of some sort. I bet Nazz would've loved to have this room to herself. More mannequin standee's, another trophy stand, three more mirrors, but two were make-up beau roes. The rest was covered up furniture that's probably old or broken.
1:00 p.m.
"Come on lets open the door already" rushed Eddy. "Hold your horses please". The door opened and the others were right outside it like I thought they would. "Well it seems that we have some more work on our hands". "No sweat, we'll get this done easy" said Kevin. It was already 1:00 p.m. and we had so much garbage stuffed into the garbage cans lining up by the sidewalk. At least we managed to get the rooms and the hallways secured with new wood. We still didn't have the right tools to fill in the holes in the walls but we'll get them for some other time. Even though it was work of the Kanker sisters, I decided not to clean off the hearts drawn on the walls of the passage way. It sort of gave life to the place. I'm still wondering how there's light shining through with no problem. It must've been special glow in the dark paint. The good thing about this is that we're all a little safer now that we can walk through easily. As for the bathroom, we actually borrowed a hose from Kevin and sprayed the whole thing down and managed to clean it off easy. The windows were finally unblocked as well.
2:13 p.m.
Just then a familiar voice echoed through the house. "Knock- knock; Guess whose back". It was the Kanker's mom. "I see you boys done a fine well job with the wood I gave ya. And I see you had some good help from your friends here". "Oh well if it wasn't any trouble, I actually called them here for a little bit of their time that they could spare. Ed, Eddy and I would've taken probably days alone to get the living room done". "Well you boys did well. Eddward come with me to the car real quick. I brought this cooler with drinks in it. I know you boys must be thirsty by now". Bebe wasn't kidding about the drinks, but I for some reason it felt a little quieter than usual. I looked at the back seat of the cop car and saw that the Kanker sisters weren't in there. "Pardon me Bebe, but where is Lee, May and Marie at?" "They stayed at the school for overtime hours. They told me that they were gonna walk home like they usually do". "Oh well that's good of them for being so hard working". "If you're trying to ask one of my daughters out, just remember this, I'm a cop". Bebe lit up a cigarette as soon as she finished her sentence. I couldn't stand the smell of that cancerous stick of torture. "Well uh, thank you for the reminder Bebe. I'll be sure to remember that clearly every time". I picked up the cooler and started walking back towards the house, as Bebe got back inside the car and drove off. "Asking out a Kanker sister? Does she really think I would ever do something as life threatening as that?".
2:34 p.m.
"Well everybody let's give ourselves a little break for now, shall we?". I opened up to cooler to reveal over a dozen bottles of soda's freshly bought and cold to the tip. There was a huge variety from cherry, orange and even pineapple. We all grabbed them in enjoyment, and some of us got brain freezes from drinking them too fast. "Double D, was that the Kanker's mom you told me about this morning?" asked Sarah. "Yes indeed that woman was their mother; Bebe Kanker. She was the one that was gonna take us all away for all the times we caused damage to the cul-de-sac involving Eddy's scams". "I'm surprised you came back alive without getting jumped by the Kanker's" said Eddy. "They're at the school right now working overtime hours Eddy. She said that they'll be walking home like usual". "Dude it feels so quiet and relaxing with the Kanker's not around during the day time" said Nazz. "Speaking of quiet, has anybody noticed that Johnny hasn't showed up today?" said Kevin. "You don't think that he's still mad at us about the whole incident with Eddy's brother last year and us jumping him?" said Nazz. "Johnny the wood boy, must still hold a grudge or maybe not. He's been so good and forgiving at the Urban Ranger's meetings" said Rolf. "I actually talked to Johnny this morning. He said he was waiting for his melons to grow in his yard" said Jimmy. "Well that answers the questions of Johnny the wood boy, now does it?".
2:40 p.m.
As we continued scarfing down the sodas, we immediately resumed our work and started heading down to the basement. Yet another flight of stairs we went down towards, and were in mint condition. They almost seemed to have been installed recently. It almost seemed to look like a good place to be a laundry room. There were some old boxes full of junk, rolled up carpet, shelves, and paintings on the floor, a work table and other things. There was an elevator but it wasn't working for some reason, or maybe it was off. We went into another room in the corner and it was completely wide. I bet Ed would've liked to stay in this room, since he's been so used to sleeping in a basement his whole life. For some reason there was a sandbox in the back and I didn't really think about how we were gonna get rid of it. There's the possibility of vacuuming out the sand then taking the wood off. There were tool boxes, tool shelves, a book shelf, a cabinet shelf, more rolled up carpet, and more boxes full of junk.
"Ed, lift me up on top of the book shelf please; gently though." "Ok Double D I got ya." "This switch up here should turn on the elevator". As soon as I flipped it, we went to the elevator and rode it to the library room. There were more shelves full of books and stairs to one of the shelves, two separate carpets were already spread out on the floor, a coffee table in the middle, and wouldn't you know it, another switch right above the book shelves. I unlocked the door to the room which seemed to exit out to the upstairs hallway to where the other library room was at; the one with the pool table. I had Ed lift me up again to flip the switch. One of the book shelves slid open to reveal a secret room behind it. We were all amazed to see just how big the room was and how high the ceiling went.
"My-my, this room seems to be an observatory of some sort. I would just love to be in here for the time we stay in this house" said Double D. There were chairs, more book shelves and a work table for writing, several windows with broken glass, and scaffolding walkways with only one plank of wood each, that led up to a connected walkway close to the ceiling. I climbed up it myself to observe and report back. Halfway up were two ledges on the walls, the one towards me looked like a good place to relax or maybe put some furniture on, and the other one was small and had a window above it. I guess you could say that it was used for an emergency exit. I climbed up a little to reach the extension of the ledge and went up a few stairs to a support beam that seemed strong enough to walk on. It was connected to a platform in the middle in the direct center of the whole room. I was surprised at how good the architect must've been to have perfectly held it up to the other three platforms with other support beam walkways. These lengths of wood looked too extremely heavy for one person to even carry and lay down without dropping them to the ground. One platform to the left had a small light post, the one to the right had another window with a trophy laying on it, and the one all the way to the front had a trophy stand.
I slowly made my ascension down to meet the others, carefully making sure that I didn't fall off, almost like the time my parents forgot to remind about the bathroom in our house getting taken down. "We're gonna have to save this room for some other time. There's much work to be done with the other rooms we were just in". "No problem dude" said Nazz.
3:00 p.m.
Ed cleared out the basement of all the boxes, we actually found dishes and utensils in several of them and decided to keep them in the living room until we had the chance to convert one of the rooms into a kitchen. While he was doing that, Sarah, Jimmy and I took an hour to clear and scrub the whole room from top to bottom. "Oh-oh Double D. Can I please have this room?" asked Ed. "Why of course Ed. After all you've enjoyed being in the basement your whole life. Don't like to see you have to be forced to change your lifestyle".
Kevin, Nazz, and Rolf brought more lengths of wood from outside the house to replace the planks of wood that were used as walkways. Kevin managed to make sides for the scaffoldings to make sure nobody fell off from the edges. He made the spaced-out ledge even wider and put more secured sides so that nobody fell off when they woke up in the middle of the night. As for the platforms close to the ceiling, he made extensions of the support beams so that the wider lengths of wood would have something stable underneath to hold them and not break off. There were a few close calls where he nearly slipped and needed Rolf to pull him back up quick. He was a bit shook up but managed to get the job done. I decided to take the elevator upward to dust and vacuum out the library myself.
I walked into the observatory and saw the amazing work that Kevin managed to pull off. It actually gave me a good idea. "I see that things are going great in here. Nice construction work there, Kevin". "Thanks bro". "Kevin had a few close calls falling but thankfully Rolf caught him in time" said Nazz. "Oh my; I see that you're alright Kevin. Don't worry; we won't have to do any construction for right now. Let's head down to the living room shall we". Ed, Sarah and Jimmy were already downstairs waiting for us.
"Everyone, I wanted to thank you all for sparing your time helping us fix the place up. Seeing as how we managed to develop this broken down screaming death trap into a safer environment, I actually had a good idea seeing the work that Kevin did in the observatory room". "What idea did you have in mind Double D" asked Jimmy. "Yeah tell us how my work inspired ya" said Kevin. "Well seeing as this house is bigger than just Ed, Eddy, and I to live in, I actually came up with the idea of all of us bunking in together in this place". "Dude that something huge to take in" said Nazz. "You sure that that's even a smart idea to do yet?" asked Sarah. "Yeah Double D, we're not in college yet" said Eddy. "I know Eddy. I actually thought that could be like a fraternity type of way". "Double D that's a good idea and all but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here that has a stable job" said Kevin. "Yes Double D Ed boy. Most of us are yet to be hard working laborers" said Rolf. "Yes I can see that but now that you've all brought that up, it actually occurred to me. What if we all had jobs and then moved in here together? This place is actually feeling more like a guest house in a way."
"Double D does have a point you know" said Jimmy. "Jimmy you and I are still kinda young you know" said Sarah. "Yes that's true". "We'll have to think about it dude. Maybe we could have sleep overs and stuff but living together is gonna have to wait" said Nazz. "Well those are all good points, so I thought about making this an emergency place to escape to if anything. I even thought about where your rooms should be at". "Really you already picked out our rooms? That's so cool" said Nazz. "Yes indeed Nazz. When I get the chance I'll head to the hardware store to get replacement locks for all the doors. So here's how I thought the order should go".
"Room number 1: the pool table room. Eddy will sleep in that room since he's fond of playing the game. Room number 2: The observatory. I thought about having Kevin's help into converting the upper layers into three, maybe four rooms and the floor level into a kitchen actually. I actually wanted to be there. Room number 3: The make-up room. The one down the hallway there should go to Nazz. Room number 4: The TV room. The room across from the one I labeled for Nazz should go to Kevin. Room number 5: the bunk bed room. Sarah and Jimmy should share it. Rolf I actually thought that you should be one of the people to go into the observatory room, when we convert. What do you guys think?"
"That actually sounds cool and all but Double D don't you think Sarah and Jimmy sharing a room is a little R-rated?" asked Nazz. It took Double D a few seconds to realize what he just thought about the room arrangement. "Oh my" blushed Double D. "Yes of course. How could I not think straight about that? Then Nazz would you share the bunk room with Sarah and Jimmy convert the make-up room into his style?". "Yeah sounds good". "I didn't understand what the R-rated part meant" said Jimmy. "Um, you'll know later on" said Sarah. After that little discussion, everyone liked the idea that I had come up with and decided to agree on doing it as they feel. They helped us bring in our belongings into the rooms I had labeled for Ed, Eddy and I. Then they helped us get our beds and moved in our furniture around.
4:00 p.m.
"Hey guys I'm gonna leave this paint here for tomorrow ok. I'm actually gonna see if there's any summer job opening's available. Sarah, Jimmy; come with me and search too. I wanna work together in the same place" said Nazz. "Sweet, I wanna work in a doll store" said Sarah. "Beauty products for me" said Jimmy. "Rolf does not need to slave over a table all day to satisfy another fowls needs. I make my living by selling the freshly grown jewels of life in my garden to the market. With that I shall bid you all farewell and continue tomorrow". "Yeah I'm gonna head off too. Gonna go adjust my bike for work tomorrow. Later" said Kevin. "So sock head, how's this gonna work out; everybody moving in with us?". "Well Eddy it's not technically moving in just yet Eddy. It's pretty much giving them a second home to run to if anything". "So are going to share the same bathroom Double D?". "Well that was also on my mind Ed. I really don't know how all of us would share one bathroom and the time it takes us to shower quickly. I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, try to sweep and vacuum this place up. I'll be down the hall fixing the bath tub."
4:45 p.m.
I honestly couldn't believe how long it was taking me to fix a simple tub. The disgustingness coming out of this tub and shower head; It's was like some type of horror film that Ed watches in his basement. Mud kept on spewing out and this foul odor kept coming out like it was connected to the sewer lines. Now this green slime was building up from the drain slowly. I honestly didn't know how to stop it. I suddenly heard my name being shouted while I was sweating from plunging the slime back down the tub. "Double D help!" shouted Eddy. "Eddy this better not be another one of your pranks from the first time we were in this house!". I didn't believe or buy what Eddy had to say until Ed shouted out the forbidden name. "Kanker's!". I froze in fear after hearing what he had just said. I then heard footsteps coming towards the door. I panicked and couldn't think of a place to hide. My heart was pounding so hard that I could barely move. I slowly tried to make a run for the bunk bed room next door but it was too late. The door we had built for the bathroom opened fast; slammed onto the wall and made the lights flicker on and off. A dark figure came in slowly through the doorway and whispered "Hiya dreamboat". It was Marie Kanker. "Wait no please! I'm too young!". Marie was giggling as she stepped closer and closer towards me until finally she grabbed me from my shirt and dragged me back to the living room, probably to sexually harass the three of us once more.
I was thrown onto a couch in the middle of the room where Ed and Eddy were sitting down in. The Kanker sisters were still giggling which frightened the three of us, causing us to shake. "You boys know exactly what we're here for right?" said Lee looking down on us smiling. "Just get it over with please!" said Eddy. "May, get the bags over here quick" said Lee. "Why do I have to do all the work?" said May. "Now!". Lee threw May out the front door. May came back in dizzy carrying three bags stuffed with items. "We heard you guys were gonna need some help fixing this place up but looking around here, you already did" said Marie. " Yes well um, we had the kids come over and help us rebuild the place up a bit. The only thing left now is the cleaning and fixing the bathroom, and other stuff" said Double D. "Well what a coincidence cause that's what we're here for" said Lee. Lee opened up the bags to reveal that it had cleaning products in it. "Where did you get those cleaning products from?". "Oh we took them from the supply closets around school. They're not gonna notice or even care. Now let's get to cleanin' girls" said Marie.
As quickly as they came they swept throughout the house alike a plague, but instead of sickness it was cleanliness. I've never seen a house so clean in my life. We've seen how the trailer was but for them to leave a place spotless was unbelievable. "Double D when are they gonna leave?" whispered Ed. "Let's try to make a run for it guys" whispered Eddy. We slowly tip-toed to the door as quickly and quietly as possible, but then out of nowhere May had appeared behind the door and slammed it shut. "Where do you think you're going?" snickered May. Somehow Lee and Marie didn't appear. "We were- we were um- Just-just going to get some parts; yes parts for the bathroom" said Double D. "Oh don't you worry I got everything here". May took out another bag and out came a bunch of pipes and parts to fix and replace the tub and shower head. "Don't you worry about a thing. I'll go fix the tub. You guys just stay and watch some TV" said May flipping the channel to the fish show we always see.
6:00 p.m.
It's been more than an hour already and we've been hearing power tools, sawing and breaking sounds all this time. We couldn't even get out the couch out of fear of whom or what could happen next. Finally the sounds all stop simultaneously. "Hiya boyfriends!" said the Kanker's sneaking up behind the couch. We huddled together in fear of what they would do to us. "Come on. We got something to show ya" said Lee. They all dragged us by our shirts to the bathroom passing the make-up room. "My word; I've never anything like this" said Double D. The bathroom floors were all white tiles, the walls were painted white, the edges were painted light blue like the sky, the toilet looked like it was new off the store shelf, the sink was made into two separate ones with a wide counter with drawers and a mirror on the wall, and the bath tub was a like a wide hot tub with the shower head having different turn settings. "Oh you guys don't gotta worry about not having hot water. We rigged the hot water heater to be temperature controlled whenever you want it to be. So you have unlimited hotness" said Marie. "Also we saved you the trouble of just having one bathroom. Come check this out" said Lee. We managed to walk, instead of being dragged, to the underground passage way and crossed the water bridge to see that the upstairs room had a wall built already. "So this is what that sawing noise was earlier? You built another bathroom by hand and with stairs to easy access?" asked Double D. "Yep. Go check it out" said May. The three walked up the ramp way, opened the door and saw that this bathroom was almost the same as the other one but even better.
"Wow this is actually cool" said Eddy. "It sure is" said Double D. "So what do ya think?" asked Marie. "I must say, this is ingenious. However did you three learn to do this?" "We've messed around a lot in the trailer park. Oh and we've installed a washing machine and dryer under the stairs in the basement. We messed with the electricity too" said Lee. "Just give us some more time and we'll be done quick" said May. "Actually I did need some assistance. You see I had the idea of converting the floor level of the observatory, the room behind the library book shelf, into a kitchen. I was hoping you know where I could find items for it". Eddy and Ed still looked scared of the Kanker sisters still being in the house longer. "Sure we can do that" said Marie. "I'll gladly drive with you on the golf cart to go get the items if necessary". "Sure let's go". Ed and Eddy stayed behind while I drove with the Kanker's to the trailer park to go get the items. We went into an abandoned trailer that's been labeled un-livable by the county, we took the microwave, took down the cabinets, oven, sink, and fridge. They told me that anybody was allowed to take the items apart but decided not too since they wouldn't know where to put them. We hurried back and placed the items in the observatory and installed them quick. Thank goodness the Kanker's knew a lot about electrical wiring. We cleaned everything up to make sure it was disinfected from not being used in so long. Only thing we were missing was a food closet but we can build that later.
7:30 p.m.
"Well ladies I'm glad you were able to lend us a hand with the house". "Don't mention it. Call us when you need us" said May. All three of them handed me their numbers on a slip of paper. "Wait hold on it's getting late. Let me take you three home quickly". They gladly offered my service since it was already getting dark out. They thanked me as soon as I dropped them off to their trailer. It seemed that their mother must've been asleep or something since I didn't hear her. I drove the trailer back to my house, or my former home, to drop off to father and mother. I walked back down to our place and saw that Ed and Eddy were enjoying themselves on the rest of the sodas left in the cooler. "Double D you took so long. While you were gone, Rolf came and gave us all this meat and stuff to cook with" said Eddy. "Jimmy came and gave us half of his peaches and cream too" said Ed chugging down the cream. "Well I must say that was nice of them". The fridge was practically full and we had our food for the rest of the week. Hopefully Ed doesn't scarf it down like he did when he was sleepwalking. "Well gentlemen, let us enjoy our first night here in our new home". I grabbed a cherry flavored soda from the cooler and drank it in satisfaction. Deep inside I was excited to be living on my own for the first time with my friends, but on the inside I felt sad and scared. I wonder if I'll get over this feeling.
