It is evening and the Eds lounged and relaxed at Double D's labeled bedroom, while Mac showers and cleans himself in Double D's bathroom. Ed giggles as he plays with Double D's balancing stick and notices the movement of the green water moving.
"Cool!" Ed laughed.
"Isn't it wonderful of bringing in a new person here in the Cul-de-sac, Eddy!" Double D says while looking at his ants in his ant farm, "And have him spend time with us in my house!"
"What's with this kid?" Eddy said, while looking at Double D's human skull, "He just shows up after what everyone in Foster's Home for Big Jerks did to him today!"
"Well, Eddy!" Double D explained, "It appears as though Mac has been reliant on his friends that are mostly imaginary for most of his life, due to the lack of companionships from anyone around him!"
"What is he?" Eddy asked in response.
"Mac should eat more vegetables!" Ed said.
"What Mac was telling us," Double D continues, "was that his only good friends had all took advantage and humiliated him with their insidious prank and has lost self-confidence and companionships to everyone living in Foster's! So, we need to treat him with care and respect and act like what true friends are supposed to be! And that way, he'll be out of this brink of depression and sadness for good!"
"What a crybaby!" Eddy said, bored.
Then, Double D's bedroom door begins to open slowly. Mac peeks in through.
"Mac's here!" Ed said.
"Mac!" Double D says, "Come on in and don't be shy! Please make yourself comfortable at home here!"
"Ok!" Mac says sadly and he walks into Double D's room, revealing that he's all clean from the shower with every birthday cake icing being all gone and he wears one of Double D's robes instead of the clown outfit.
Mac then sadly sits on Edd's bed and sighs in depression.
"What's with Mac?" Eddy asked.
Double D notices his facial expression.
"It appears," Edd says, "that Mac is still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder because of what has happened today before he ended up here! He's emotionally scarred by it!"
"Where's his scar, Double D?" Ed asked.
"I don't have a scar, Ed!" Mac replied.
"Dear, Mac!" Double D asked, "Is there anything we can do to make you feel better?"
"Well," Mac asks, "What do you guys do here in the cul-de-sac?"
"I watch monster movies and read comic books," Ed said happily while bringing out his comic from his dark green jacket and showing it to Mac, "like this one, The Night of the Werewolves!"
"He has buttered toast for a brain, Mac!" Eddy said to him.
"I love buttered toast and gravy, Mac!" Ed said.
"Well Mac," Double D said, "I enjoy reading, learning, building and inventing things, and even spend some quality time with my ants here in my ant farm!"
"Really?" Mac asked.
"Of course!" Edd replied, "Let me show you!"
Double D takes Mac to his ant farm and shows him the thousands of red ants crawling around in and digging tunnels.
"Wow!" Mac says, amazed.
"Isn't it magnificent?" Double D said.
"It sure is!" Mac replied.
Mac, curiously, then looks around Double D's bedroom, seeing that his bedroom is all neat, tidy, and being labeled.
"Wow, Double D!" Mac said during, "Everything here is all nice and… labeled!"
"Oh, I always love to have my bedroom labeled!" Double D replied.
"I told you he's a neat freak!" Eddy muttered to Mac.
"Why do you wear a sock on your head, Double D?" Mac asked.
"Um…" Double D respond, nervously while hiding his sock hat, "Don't ask! Please!"
"Ok!" Mac replied.
"Double D wears his hat, Mac," Ed said, "Because he's-"
"ED!" Double D cried, "Please!"
"What!" Eddy said, "It's just a-"
"EDDY!" Double D stopped, "Please reframe from telling Mac about this situation!"
"Ok! Ok! Yeesh!" Eddy said annoyed before turning to Mac.
"So, Mac my boy!" Eddy said to him with a grin, "I lead the Eds, and what I like to do is to scam all the kids of the Cul-de-sac!"
"Scams?" Mac responded, shocked.
"Yep!" Eddy said, "I came up with various schemes to every kid on the block, so that they could cough up some cash for us!"
"Ok…" Mac replied, "But… why? Isn't that stealing?"
"Well," Double D said, "You see Mac, we're broke!"
"Our parents don't give us allowances!" Eddy said, annoyed.
"My mom always gives Sarah allowances!" Ed said.
"Well, that's too bad!" Mac says, "My mom gives me allowances whenever I go out!"
"Lucky!" Eddy said, annoyed.
"So," Mac asked, "Why do you guys like to swindle people's allowances for?"
"Mac!" Eddy said to him, "We do this to buy the sweetest and yummiest candy ever!"
"What's that?" Mac asks.
"JAWBREAKERS!" the Eds cried.
"Jawbreakers!?" Mac replied.
"They're big! Round! Costs a quarter!" Eddy cried.
"Mouth-watering gifts from the heaven!" Edd explained.
"Sugar and sweet! To eat, perchance to slobber!" Ed said happily.
"Ok…" Mac says, confused, "But aren't they kind of dangerous don't you think?"
"Relax, kiddo!" Eddy explained, "You just put them in your mouth and suck in it! It'll melt with in it!"
"The juice and sugar would go down into your belly!" Ed said, "Yum!"
"Oh!" Mac replied, "Ok!"
"So, tell us, Mac!" Eddy said, "What's Foster's Home for Imaginary Phonies like?"
"Is Jib there?" Ed asked.
"Who's Jib?" Mac asked.
"Why that's Ed's imaginary friend!" Double D exclaimed.
"He loves chickens like me!" Ed said, "He's very strong like me! He loves to play with plungers like swords and his favorite game is to spin on revolving chairs! He is also very nice to all the kids of the cul-de-sac and gave them presents!"
"Wow!" Mac responded.
"Jib thinks Eddy is as blind as a bat!" Ed said.
Ed, Double D, and Mac giggled as Eddy snarls and growls in annoyance.
"Yeah, right!" Eddy said irritated, "He ruined my scam at the time and threw me up to the air like I'm a basketball!"
"Jibs fun!" Ed said.
"What does he look like?" Mac asked.
"He is a zombie mind-muchar from Mucus Mansion!" Ed replied.
"He made Jib from out of one of his comics!" Double D said.
"Is Jib in Foster's?" Ed asked.
"I don't think so!" Mac said, "I never even met or saw him! Maybe he might have been adopted before I first came!"
Ed sobs in disappointment and cried, "It is not fair!"
"Good riddance!" Eddy muttered in annoyance.
"At least Jib didn't take part of the embarrassing prank I was given today!" Mac said unhappily.
"So, when do you come to Foster's for, Mac?" Double D asked.
"Everyday at 3'o clock in the afternoon after school," Mac said, "to make sure that my now former 'best-friend' Bloo, the B-team leader and the one who's always one step ahead of me, doesn't get adopted like I promised him the day I first brought him in and how I made a deal with Madame Foster also! But now, ever since then, he's been causing so much trouble and chaos and has been a big jerk to everyone… including me!"
"Like what?" Eddy asked.
Mac sighs.
"Like," he continued, "breaking the statue of Madame Foster, flooded the house, opened a secret door wreaking havoc on everyone, uploaded two videos to make Mr. Herriman a fool, flooded the house, threw a party against house rules, destroyed a beloved toy elephant, completely ruined my reputation at school, blew the roof off my house, break into my bedroom despite that my mom strictly prohibits him to coming into my apartment, and now this! He thinks he's the best imaginary friend ever, but… he's not!"
"Boy, Mac," Double D said, surprised, "You truly created a monster!"
"Yeah!" Mac says in mellow, I guess he deserves to be adopted, especially for what he and everyone did to me today!"
"Why did you create him a big jerk and care about him, Mac?" Eddy asked.
"He already told us in the playground earlier, Eddy!" Double D said, "Remember!?"
Double D turns to Mac.
"So, why does your imaginary friend like to throw embarrassing surprise parties at you every year Mac?" he asked.
"I don't know!" Mac says in melancholy, "He just does! He does this to me every year, even when I tell him to stop! And he gets everyone, even my mom and my brother Terrence, to take part in it!"
"Like what?" Ed asked.
"Well," Mac said in mellow, "the first embarrassing surprise party he threw to me was when I was five where I was showering and he, my mom, and my greeted me there and laughed at me naked!"
"Ewww!" Double D and Eddy said, disgusted.
"The second," Mac continued, "was when Bloo replaces the ketchup with hot sauce, and he turned off the water from the sink. So, when my mouth was burning from the hot sauce and find that the sink isn't working, I had to drink from a dog bowl!"
"Oh dear!" Double D said.
Eddy giggled.
"You were drinking, like a dog!" Eddy said, "That's stupid!"
"Cute!" Ed said.
"Ed!" Double D scorned, "Eddy! Please!"
"Then the third time," Mac continued, "was when he replaced my towel with tutu, and I was forced to wear them when I got out of the shower and that's when everyone laughed and made fun of me, even my mom!"
"Oh my!" Double D said in shock.
Eddy laughed.
"Aww cute!" Ed said.
"Did you take ballerina class, Mac?" Eddy laughed, "You got to be kidding me!"
"Eddy!" Double D scolded, "For heaven sakes! This is Mac! He's psychologically tormented and traumatized by those surprise parties that everyone had thrown for him! He is suffering large amounts of depression from what happened today! So, we need to treat him with care and respect and cheer him up!"
"Alright! Alright!" Eddy replied, "Yeesh!"
"Reminds me of when Eddy's dad becomes scared of him being a figure skater, because he's too 'girly'!" Ed said, while Eddy glares at him.
"Shut up, Ed!" Eddy replied annoyed.
Mac sighs in depression.
"But this surprise party he threw at me today that I've already mentioned," he said, "was the worst one he's ever did! And everyone was in it, including those that I used to consider close friends with until then and they all went too far! But they don't care!"
"Who were they?" Double D asked.
"Well…" Mac says, "There's Eduardo!"
"Cool!" Ed said, "Another Ed!"
"Sweet!" Eddy said.
"What's he like Mac?" Double D asked.
"He's big!" Mac begins, "He's purple and hairy! He's got horns! Big teeth! Large eyes! He speaks Spanish! Wear a belt with a skull on it! He may be a giant monster, but he's gentle and sensitive on stuff! He's afraid of spiders!"
"Cool!" Ed said, "A monster afraid of spiders!"
"Yeah!" Mac said in depression, "Then there's Wilt who's very tall! He's red! He has one right arm! A crooked left eye! He loves and plays basketball!"
"Like Kevin and Rolf!" Eddy said.
"He also says 'Sorry' a lot constantly," Mac continues, "and even always asks if everything is 'ok'! Then there's Coco! She's a chicken-airplane-pineapple…thingy-"
"Cool!" Ed said, "I love chickens, Mac! I want to hug her!"
"Yeah!" Mac continues, "She only says mostly 'Coco' but we all know what she's saying! Then there's Goo!"
"Is she a giant blob of goo?" Ed asked.
"No," Mac said, frowning, "she's just a young girl I first met, and I brought her into Foster's, and she since then visits Foster's because of me! Her full name is Goo Goo Ga Ga!"
Eddy and Ed burst into laughter.
"Goo Goo Ga Ga?!" Eddy said in laughter, "That's a stupid name!"
"Cute!" Ed said, "Is she your girlfriend?"
"NO!" Mac yelled annoyed before he continues talking, "She's not my girlfriend!"
The Eds stared in silence. Mac sighs.
"She's very hyperactive, talkative, and annoying!" Mac says, rolling his eyes, "She creates new imaginary friends like non-stop, one after another!"
"Reminds me of Jonny!" Eddy replied.
"Yeah!" Mac says, "Then there's Francis Foster, but we call her Frankie!"
"Who is she?" Double D asked.
"Is she Frankenstein?" Ed asked.
"No, Ed!" Mac replied, "She's the house's caretaker and the granddaughter of the mansion's owner and founder Madame Foster!"
"What she like?" Eddy asked. Mac began thinking about her lustfully.
"She's so awesome and so sweet and like a big fun sister to me!" Mac said lustfully with a big smirk and a tongue sticking out, while laying down on Double D's bed, "She has very beautiful eyes and flowing red hair!"
"Was she in that mermaid movie?" Ed asked.
"She's a lot like a mermaid, especially when she swims!" Mac continues lustfully, "She's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life!"
Mac sighs in lustfulness before his facial expression quickly changes back to a frown.
"But I'm too young for her!" he said quickly, "I'm 8 years old and she's 22!"
"Oh!" Double D replied.
"Blegh!" Eddy said, sticking out his tongue.
"Maybe she can transform into your age, Mac!" Ed said, "By a device made by an imaginary friend that de-ages people like what the aliens did to all the humans in The Daycare to all Space Mutants!"
The other two Eds and Mac stare in confusion.
"That's STUPID!" Eddy replied.
Mac sighs in depression and continues laying his back on Double D's bed.
"But they, along with Madame Foster, Mr. Herriman, and all the other house keepers, all took Bloo's side, took advantage of me, and stabbed me in the back!" Mac said in depression, "They all tricked and lied to me that the party I destroyed as a way to stop Bloo from embarrassing me was a 4th birthday party for that stupid imaginary friend Goo created that they all loved and worshipped named Artie, which turned out to be that witch: Madame Foster in disguise!"
"What does he look like?" Eddy said as he takes one of Double D's sticky notes and pencils.
"He's short," Mac says, "he's green with rosy cheeks and a pink nose, he wears pink shorts, he wears a white T-shirt with the letter 'A' on it, and a strand of green curly hair on top! Everyone loves and cares for him more than me!"
Eddy writes it all down as he follows what Mac was saying.
"Where is he?" Eddy asks.
"Madame Foster kept that stupid thing in… I don't know, her closet or wardrobe!" Mac continues, "But I don't care! I hate Artie! I hated that stupid costume the witch made and owned!"
Eddy wrote it all down. Eddy snickers during it, while Double D notices what Eddy was doing.
"Eddy!" Double D asks in suspicion.
"What?" Eddy says, "I'm just writing my idea of a scam inspired by Mac using one of your sticky notes!"
"Ok," Double D replied, "but I hope it's not something dire!"
The Eds turned to Mac.
"Who's Mr. He-man, Mac?" Ed asked.
"That's Mr. Herriman, Ed!" Mac corrected in disappointment, "He's the head of the mansion and he's Madame Foster's imaginary friend! He's very bossy, rude, strict, stern, and is always bent on the rules. He also took part in the stupid embarrassing surprise party! I even ask him to make sure Bloo doesn't throw a surprise party at me, which he accepts, but…!"
He sighs unhappily.
"He, along with everyone else, took part into Bloo's prank!" Mac sadly continued, "He yelled at me for ruining Artie's 4th birthday and made me feel so sad and guilty that I embarrassed myself! He even laughed at me and called me a party animal!"
Mac mopes in sorrow.
"What a jerk!" Eddy said.
"What does he look like?" Double D asked.
"He's a giant, grey rabbit," Mac replied, "with a mustache, a monocle, a top hat, and a tuxedo!"
"Cute!" Ed said, "I want to hug and pet him!"
"Ed," Double D said cautiously, "I wouldn't!"
Double D turned to Mac.
"He's allergic to rabbits, Mac!" he said to Mac.
"Oh!" Mac replied.
"So, what did those jerks in Foster's got against ya, Mac?" Eddy asked.
"They blame me on a lot of things, Eddy!" Mac said in disappointment.
"Like what, Mac?" Double D asked.
"Well," Mac said sadly, "there was this time that the witch Madame Foster yells at me when I was doing bowling with them, because it was the first time I bowled and kicks me out of her bowling team against Jerkins and her team. And at the time Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco wrongfully accused me for abandoning Bloo while they were searching for an imaginary friend and Wilt scolded me hard. And the time where Duchess moves into my apartment and it made mom wanting us to move to Singapore and Terrence tells everyone in Foster's that Bloo and I are bringing in Duchess and Madame Foster and everyone else declared war on me, took Terrence's side, and attack me and Bloo and forced us to be Duchess's servants. And that time where I won tickets for a trip to Europe and invited my former friends to join in and I tried to get everyone ready for the flight, but everyone keeps slacking off and barely be ready from Bloo changing his mind on whether or not he should go on the trip, to Eduardo having a hard time deciding on what stuffed he should bring, to Coco being afraid of flying, to Mr. Herriman being slow on the schedule and don't know the time zones. Then, the wicked witch Madame Foster stole my tickets while giving me a hug and heads to Europe with Jerkins and her senior friends while everyone yelled and blamed me for losing the tickets and not going to Europe. And that time I first met Goo and Bloo suggests about bringing her to Foster's and she starts talking a lot fast, makes too much imaginary friends that it made everyone live in the bus, Frankie and Mr. Herriman got ticked off and yelled at me, and they all think it's my fault. And that time Frankie yells at me and kicks me out of the house for jumping on Madame Foster's mattress as what Bloo forces me to so he can get in trouble without supper and I nearly got arrested! And that time that they all went to the beach without Bloo and I, even though it's because of Bloo causing trouble at the beach. And definitely today when everyone in Foster's all angrily yelled and emotionally hurt me for ruining that birthday for Artie that turned out to be the witch when I was trying to stop Bloo from throwing me that stupid embarrassing surprise party at me!"
The Eds stare in shock and silence.
"Man!" Eddy says, "This kid never gets a break from them, huh?"
Mac sighed in sadness and laid his back on Edd's bed.
"Are you ok, Mac?" Double D asked.
"Not really!" Mac said sadly, "I just don't really want to go to Foster's ever in my life again! Ever! I guess coming there was a big waste of time for me! I don't trust anybody from there anymore after what they did to me today! I guess it's because… I'm a kid and most of the residents there are adults! And I'm sane!"
"Well," Double D said, "I'm sure that they'll realized their mistake, are regretful about it, and want to make this up with you and apologize for what they've all did!"
"Yeah right!" Mac said in depression, "They all helped Bloo humiliate and torment me! They don't care about me at all and never did! And never will! They're not going to accept how bad it was, and I think they're still laughing about it and enjoying it! And they are going to rub it into my face when I show up there tomorrow! They never said sorry to me and realized their mistake and felt bad and ashamed! They never stood up to me! They all thought it was funny and they all laughed about it and made fun of me! They're going to do it again, because Bloo's been doing this to me every year, even when I tell him stop and everyone is going to join in and have fun with it, even when I tell them how much I hate surprise parties!"
"That is so mean of them!" Ed said.
"Man! The writer of this stupid episode really hates you huh, Mac?" Eddy asked.
"Yeah!" Mac says in depression, with a sigh and being in a little anger, "I hope Bloo and everyone in Foster's get what they deserved for what they all treated me today! I hope he, Wilt, Coco, and everyone gets adopted by new kids who are big bullies and jerks! I hope Goo is friendless! I hope Foster's is burnt down or bulldozed! I hope that stupid witch and Mr. Herriman are homeless! And I hope Frankie will lose her job, be homeless, and be broke!"
"Well, Mac!" Double D replied, "Don't you think you're being too harsh to them about it?"
"No!" Mac replied, unhappily, "I don't care, because if that's what they're going to do to me for the rest of my life, that's fine! I just really hope this happens after what those stupid jerks did to me! That'll teach Bloo and everyone in Foster's Home for Stupid People whose 'one step ahead'!"
Mac sighs and moans in disappointment.
"I don't want to be friends with Bloo or everyone in Foster's anymore after what they've all done to me today!" Mac says unhappily, "I'm done with them and that stupid place!"
"Then don't Mac!" Eddy said, "We'll be your new trusted pals here in Peach Creek instead!"
"We'll cheer you up with a lot of respect and care, Mac!" Double D happily.
"And we will have so much fun together like peanut butter and mayonnaise!" Ed said in joy while picking Mac up and dances and spins while holding him.
"Whoa!" Mac said during this while Ed says giggling.
Mac laughs and enjoys his play until both boys land on the bed, laughing.
"I gotta say, Ed!" Mac said, "You're a fun guy!"
"I love little Mac!" Ed said happily and then he petted him on the head, causing the little boy to giggle.
"So, Mac!" Double D said.
"Are going to come over to the Cul-de-sac here after school at 3 pm to be hanging with us!" Eddy asked.
"Well…" Mac said while starting to decide, "I guess I will do that!"
Mac smiled and the Eds cheered.
"But I got to get home to my apartment!" Mac said, "It's getting dark!"
"We'll take you home little Mac!" Ed said as he picks Mac up and puts him on his shoulder.
"Can you give us your address?" Double D asked.
As night hits, the Eds and Mac, still in his robe, have reached to his apartment.
"There it is guys?" Mac said while pointing it out.
"This is your apartment, Mac?" Eddy asked.
"Cool!" Ed said.
As the Eds and Mac reach the latter's door, Mac turns to the Eds.
"Thanks guys!" he said to the trio.
"With our great pleasure Mac!" Double D replied.
"You're very welcome, Mac!" Ed said.
"Umm…" Mac said to them, "How about tomorrow at three, you guys come over here and hang out with me and have fun!"
"It'll be our pleasure, Mac!" Double D replied.
"We'll have SO MUCH FUN!" Ed said in happiness and excitement.
"Yeah!" Eddy said, "And we'll bring out my idea for a scam of mine tomorrow that you can help us with!"
"Sure thing, Eddy!" Mac said.
Mac is about to open his door.
"Well," he said to the Eds while waving goodbye to them, "See you guys tomorrow afternoon!"
"Bye Mac!" the Eds said to Mac as he enters his home and closes the door.
Once Mac's inside, the Eds depart the apartment.
"Isn't it wonderful Eddy that we made a new friend today!" Double D said.
"Mac sure is a fun little guy!" Ed said.
"Yeah!" Eddy said, before he yawns, "Let's go guys! I need to get some shut eye!"
As Mac, still in his robe he got from Double D's, walks to his bedroom, his older brother Terrence bursts in front of him, glaring sinisterly.
"Hey dweeb!" Terrence roared at him, "You're late! Where were you today? And what's with the robe?"
"None of your business, Terrence!" Mac said, while still depressed, and was about to walk only to be grabbed by the 13-year-old in his robe collar.
"I said WHERE WERE YOU?" Terrence yelled while holding him.
"It's none of your business!" Mac cried, "Just leave me alone!"
Terrence raised his fist, ready to punch his younger brother in the face.
"Okay!" Mac cried, not wanting to get beaten and pummeled and then sighs, "Bloo threw in an embarrassing surprise party at me… again!"
"Is that so?" Terrence asked.
"And everyone in Foster's took part of it and all made fun of me!" Mac says in sadness, "So, for that reason, I have decided to never go to Foster's again and never trust anyone from there!"
"Well, then!" Terrence says, before he sadistically threw him on the floor hard, "What a shame! Because you used to come and enjoy Foster's every day at 3 pm and now you decided to not come at all and leave Bloo for adoption all because of those embarrassing birthday parties he throws in for you, like he does every year!"
"Yeah!" Mac says sadly, "I'm never going to be friends with and trust anyone in Foster's ever in my life again!"
"Ok!" Terrence says.
Mac gets up and begins to walk to his room only for Terrence to pull his right leg and trip him. Mac tumbles and falls, laying his back on the floor, while Terrence, with a sadistic grin, stares down at him.
"Then I guess," Terrence says maliciously to his younger brother, "you're going to be with me every day at 3 for-"
The bullying was cut short by the door being opened, revealing to be their mother arriving from work. The tall women with short brown hair and wearing a mostly brown work outfit with a skirt approaches her two sons.
"What's going on?" she demanded.
Terrence notices this and starts to run to his mother.
"Oh, it was awful!" Terrence said while faking, "Mac was out of control today after drinking a bottle of champaign and I tried to stop him before he starts ruining this place!"
"Mac!" their mother said, scolding, "How could you do this?!"
"But mom!" Mac argued, "I didn't-"
"I don't to hear another word!" his scorned, "Go to your room now!"
"But-"
"No, buts!" his mother roared, "Into bed now!"
With that, Mac mopes sadly while walking to his bedroom, then looks at Terrence who gave him an evil grin. He would never know that despite making new friends, today's horrible day he had would end in such a foul and cruel way.
Mac jumbled into his cluttered and empty bedroom.
"Hey boy! I'm home!" He droned, "Oh right. I don't have a dog."
He then walked over to his nightstand and looked at his picture of Bloo and puts on his answering machine which rang out in a hissing and mocking voice from earlier.
"One Step Ahead", the voice says.
This sadistic tease from his so-called "best friend" had sent him over the edge, causing him to let out an incredibly scream in frustration. Afterwards he picked up a nearby baseball and threw it at the phone causing minor damage.
He then turned around the picture of the imaginary friend out of the frame before running to the kitchen. Mac slammed the paper onto the counter then proceeded to spit on it vigorously. Once he had no more saliva left in his mouth, he shoved the picture in the kitchen sink drain and flipped the switch, turning on the garbage disposal, ripping the photo to shreds.
"Hey you!" Terrence says, "Mom says to stay in your room!"
With that, Mac furiously storms off to his bedroom.
Mac lays in his bed in the middle of the night, struggling during his slumber. The humiliating surprise party he had suffered by everyone in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, whom he now holds a grudge against, had not only traumatized and emotionally scarred him, but it has already haunted him, giving him the worst dream he has ever had in his life.
During this, he hears Bloo's "One! Step! Ahead!" mock several times.
Then he sees 'Artie' floating in front of him, crying that Mac had ruined his 4th birthday party. Then he sees the face of Mr. Herriman shaming him in an unnecessarily cruel way. Then out of nowhere, angry faces of Frankie, Eduardo, Goo, Coco, and Wilt starts appearing and floating around Mac, chastising him cruelly for ruining 'Artie's' birthday as well as those of all the imaginary friends of the mansion (such as Jackie Khones, the balloon-headed friend, Fluffer Nutter, Preparation Ape, Burple Bear, Yogi Boo Boo, etc.) glaring at him, which terrifies the poor kid. Then Bloo's face appears to demand him to dress up and act like a clown. Then 'Artie' appears again smiling and then turns into the 'witch' Madame Foster giggling. Then the floating faces of Frankie, Wilt, Goo, Eduardo, Coco, Mr. Herriman, and all the residents laughed mockingly at Mac, teasing and ridiculing him, much to the kid's horror and fright while Bloo makes the sadistic smirk and says his one step ahead taunt at him.
This makes Mac to wake up in fright and pants. He anxiously looks around his bedroom and sees that there is nobody around and that it's morning now. He comes down from his bed and walks to the door, but steps onto something. He looked down and saw a baby toy rattle being broken into pieces by his foot. He then hears a crying sound. Mac turns and sees a little baby making a crying sound and then bursts into tears. Feeling ashamed of what he accidentally did and frightened that he might be yelled at and chastised like what happened at Foster's yesterday, he runs to the door, only to find that it's locked.
"What the!" he cried.
Mac turned and saw the baby crying and crying. He tries to look around to see what to do that would calm it down and stop crying. He tries making a funny face that would cheer him up, but to no success and the baby still cries. Then Mac rushes to his closet and to his shock, finds that it's entirely empty, except a hanger with a diaper, a binky, and a toy rattle.
"What!" he cried, "Are you kidding me!"
Mac turned his head and saw the infant is still crying none stop. Seeing that there is nothing else to stop the toddler crying, Mac reluctantly puts the diaper on, puts the binky in his mouth, and carries the rattle. The toddler is still crying, so Mac reluctantly decides to act like a baby and then starts making crying sounds like a baby. This time, the baby stops crying and then giggles and cheers, much to Mac's delight. Then Mac continues his baby cries and then suddenly, he hears giggling of a familiar voice. It's revealed that the 'baby' was really Bloo tricking and embarrassing him again, like he does every year and holding a birthday cake with candles.
"I'm always one step ahead of you, Mac!" he mocked at him.
This makes Mac, while still dressed as a baby, to furiously run after Bloo in retaliation, only to find wooden bars appearing out of nowhere in front of him. Mac looks around and in shock and horror, finds that he's in a baby crib. And to make matters worse, he sees not Bloo, but everyone around him laughing and mocking him, calling him names, all around him in a red background, while carrying presents and balloons. These include his mother, Terrence, his school classmates, his teacher, his principal, Frankie, Madame Foster, Goo, Mr. Herriman, Eduardo, Coco, Wilt, Duchess, and all the Foster's residents, and even other people like Jerkins and her friends, and even a news reporting woman and camera crew. There were also flashes of cameras and video cameras all around him of the laughing and teasing people that they brought in to take photographs of him as a baby. This horrifies Mac as he walks around to get away from his humiliation, only to tumble and fall on the crib, laying on his back, and whimpers and saddens in misery and embarrassment as everyone leans down to stare and continue their laughing and ridiculing on him and taking their pictures and filming of him. Then Bloo, with a sadistic smirk, pops up and teases "One! Step! Ahead!"
This nightmare causes Mac to wake up in fright again and finds that he's still in his bedroom. After panting from it, he sighs in relief and lays down on his bed. As he then turns his head to his nightstand, he sees Bloo, with that malicious grin, hissing in that tease "One! Step! Ahead!"
This causes him to literally wake up in the middle of the night and scream in fright, ending his nightmare for good and seeing that he's in reality now. Mac huddles and holds his legs in fright while shivering and looks around his darkened bedroom. Seeing that there was nobody around and stuff, Mac lays down with his face on the pillow and starts weeping. He had not fallen asleep since then.
But at least tomorrow, he's hoping would be a better day for him now that he's hanging with some new friends he met from Peach Creek after his humiliation: in particular, three boys who are named Ed, Edd, and Eddy.
