What Came First the Chicken or the Ed?

Ed once again goes after Rolfs Chickens. But actions have consequences, and Ed may have to learn that the hard way. Will the forces set in motion result in tragedy, and will this mean that Ed may never get to see the chickens again?

Electric Fences

Having woken up and realizing what was going on, he proceeded to give the Eds a piece of his mind.

"ED-BOY You HARRASS MY CHICKENS LIKE A VIKING FOX, TO NO END!"

"But Rolf, I love chickens" Ed responded, "I didn't mean no harm"

Rolf tried to get up and lunge at ED, but Double D had anticipated this and had tied him to the nursing bed he set up in his living room, so he couldn't get up.

"YOU HAVE BROKEN THE VENERY STOCK ON THE BACK OF A SEA URCHEN…!" Rolf said as he proceeded to yell a series of things; most of which were sayings that only someone familiar with his native culture would get, and some of it was even said in his native language.

"Now Rolf, Please calm, down we can talk this out civilly and try to find a reasonable solution" Double D said, as he calmly approached closer to the bed. He turned and said, "Eddy, please take Ed outside, so I can try to calm Rolf down."

Eddy and Ed went out to stand on an area of sidewalk near Double D's House. Even though Rolfs yelling became quieter, it was not time to come in yet. The waiting felt like an eternity to the two impatient boys.

"This is your fault you know", Eddy said to Ed, "if it wasn't for your obsession with chickens, we wouldn't have to waste time standing out here, and we could be making big bucks". "I'm sorry Eddy Ed responded.

"Oh, Ed" they heard as they noticed Sarah walking toward them, with a tea pot in her hand, and Jimmy following closely behind her.

"What do you want Sarah" Eddy said in an unfriendly tone.

"Out of my way, blockhead" Sarah angry stated.

"I'm not going anywhere, so you can just…" Eddy said, before Sarah growled, before putting the tea pot on his head, kicking him off to the side.

"oh, Ed" Sarah stated as she turned toward him.

"oh, no" Ed began to run away. But he didn't get more than a few feet before Sarah tackled him and began mauling him like an angry cat.

By the time Eddy had gotten tea pot off of his head, Ed was lying on the ground, all scratched up, and Sarah and Jimmy were walking off. As he got back to where Ed was, they were approached by Johnny and Plank. "What do you what?" Eddy said in an annoyed tone.

"Plank was nearly lost in the sewer, look at how unhappy Plank is" Johnny said as he held up a filth covered Plank"

"How can you tell?" Eddy responded

"What's that Plank", Johnny said holding Plank to his ear, "you wanna show them what we caught? Ok". Johnny, with a devious smile on his face pulls out an octopus, and throws it on Eddy. As Eddy roles on the ground trying to fight of the octopus, Johnny pulls out a bucket of eels and pours them down Ed's pants; causing him to get the bloated fish look his allergy gives him. Ed falls over onto the octopus, allowing Eddy to get away from it.

"Aaaaa Fish face" Eddy exclaimed as he saw Ed.

"Uh Eddy, could you get my allergy medicine?" Ed asked as the octopus was wrapping his tentacles around him.

"On it" Eddy responded as he began running towards Ed's house. As he runs he dodges a bike wheel flying through the air. "What the" Eddy exclaimed. He turned to see, on the other side of the Cul-de-sac, Nazz bandaging an injured Kevin, and Victor prancing about nearby, as Kevin's bike lie shattered in pieces on the ground. He thought to himself, "oh well I'll figure out about that later", and returned to running to Ed's house.

Across to where Nazz and Kevin are at;

Kevin sits down as Nazz wraps his arm in a bandage.

"Hold still Kevin" Nazz says while Kevin does not pay attention and grumbles to himself. "Kevin!" Nazz states; this time getting his attention. Turning to a kinder voice she resumes. "Hold still Kevin so I can get you bandaged up"

"yah, whatever" Kevin responded; now making sure to hold his arm still. "stupid goat" Kevin says to himself.

"you know Kevin, Victor is a big animal, there's no shame in getting beat by him" Nazz said

"That goat got lucky" Kevin stated "he only won cause he caught me off guard and used dirty tactics, but even then, if hadn't knocked me off my bike the way he did or if he had got a better grip when I first tackled on him he would have been toast. He got lucky"

"yah he got lucky when he beat you" Nazz said and more quietly added "in six fights in a row"

"Hay, after he injured me in the first round, he had an advantage. If I had injured him in the first round, do you think that wimp dorky goat would have tried again? Don't think so." Kevin said, "but that does not matter anymore, wo won or not"

"good" Nazz states in a more positive mood, that was soon replaced with a more unhappy mod by what Kevin said next"

"that dork ruined my bike and he's not gonna get away with it" Kevin stated, "that goat is gonna pay"

He shot an angry look at the goat, and after Nazz finished bandaging him, he got up, turned and walked away. As he was walking away victor looked at him mischievously, and proceeded to then charge at him and send him flying into the air. "Dork!..." Kevin shouted before landing in a tree.

"Hang on Kevin, I'll get a ladder" Nazz shouted before running off.

Eddy spotted Kevin in the tree as he rushed back from Ed's house, and laughed inside his head at Kevin's misfortune, wishing he could stop to actually do it in his face. Eddy got back to Ed, who had already beaten the octopus and scared the eels back into the sewer. "Okay Lumpy I got your medicine, now use it so I don't got look at your fish face no more".

"Roger Wilko Eddy" Ed responded. Ed took his allergy medicine and was back to normal standing next to Eddy by Double D's house as Edd stepped out.

"Well gentleman I think we've come to a solution" Edd said

"What took you so long, we've been attacked by half the neighborhood while you were chatting with Rolf" Eddy responded.

"My apologies you two. But at least now I have worked out a possible solution with Rolf that will keep him from exacting revenge" Edd stated.

"Well at least we're getting somewhere" Eddy stated.

"But I will need your help in setting up something, and Ed will need to be occupied" Edd stated.

"Ok. Ed go make one of your freezer experiments, Double D and I have something to do" Eddy stated.

"oh goody-goody" Ed said as he raced of and Eddy and Double D walked off in another direction.

Scene transition to later in the day

Ed was back to where he was standing before, holding a being of sown together meat and freezer materials that looked like an alligator.

He approached by Eddy, Double D, and Rolf.

"Now Rolf, once we place this device on Ed we can demonstrate the effectiveness of the new system" Edd said.

"This better work head in sock Ed-boy. Or else Rolf will have you thrown in a pit of pickled cabbage and have Wilfred devour all your breakfast turnips" Rolf responded.

"And we wouldn't want that" Edd responded; not exactly understanding what exactly he meant.

"Hiya Rolf, are you still mad at me" Ed said.

"Yes" Rolf said, resisting the urge to yell at him.

"Come on Ed lets go" Eddy said as he grabbed Ed's jacket sleeve and pulled him along.

They arrived near Rolf's house.

"Now Ed let me put this on you please" Edd said

"Ok Double D" Ed said.

Edd then put the collar like device around his neck and pulled a controller from his pocket; using it to activate some metal box linked to a series of metal pipes forming a fence like frame around Rolf's house and yard.

"Now Ed I would like you to walk toward the chicken coop" Edd said.

"Chickens" Ed said as he rushed toward the chickens, only to be stopped by being shocked. "Ouch" Ed said.

"You see gentlemen, this system is a failsafe to aid in efforts to keep Ed under control. In case he caves to impulses, the collar will give him a slight shock to prevent him from reaching the chickens" Edd stated.

"Kinda like the collar my uncle has on his dog" Eddy said.

"Admittedly it is somewhat similar. But this only a temporary measure until we can help Ed gain the skills needed to have the self-control to contain himself. I wish it didn't have to come to this" Edd stated.

"Good, now if we're done here, I'm going home" Eddy stated.

"Chickens…zap….Ouch" Ed continued to try to rush at chickens.

"But Eddy" Edd stated

"he'll get tired of it in a while" Eddy responded.

"You're probably right, he shouldn't take long to get the correlation" Edd responded.

Eddy, Double D, ad Rolf went home, and Eddy kept trying to get past the shock line without figure out how to, until Sarah showed up to drag him home for bedtime.
