"Yep, you can bet on that Lumpy, we just need to get Double D in on this and we're golden." "Oh boy, tonight will be the coolest yet!" He shouted at Eddy excitedly.Įddy turned and looked over at Ed eagerly, he too was enthusiastic. There would be an all-night monster movie marathon on tv, and he was dying to see it. Regardless, knowing that the work needed to be done, he began.Įddy and Ed were busy making their way over to Double D's house, Ed was overjoyed at tonight's plans. Lately however, a growing weariness of these chores had emerged within him. For years he'd accepted the incredible amount of work placed on his by his parents. Picking one up it read "Dear Edward, your father and I expect you to have all your chores done today, love Mom". Heading downstairs, he instantly noticed the plethora of sticky notes that littered his house. Aside from this minor alteration, the rest of his attire had remained the same. The only noticeable change he'd made since he was younger, was the inclusion of a long black sleeved shirt, which he now wore under his familiar red shirt.
He changed into his clothes Double D hadn't made any major alterations to his wardrobe in the last two years. Sauntering to his window, looking over the neighborhood, he noted a lingering sense of peace, for the time being anyways. After all was done, he would have time for other things. Today though, he had plans, a carefully regimented set for chores awaited him. Most days he was free to spend his time however he'd wished. No longer would he have to worry about embarrassment due to a failed scam or some other unsuccessful rip off. Though the change was a welcome one, now Double D could enjoy his summers differently than he'd ever been able to before. At first this required some adjustment on the Eds part, as going from being considered the neighborhood nuisances to just being part of the group took some acclimation. The ones who had once ridiculed and mocked them, now accepted them as their own. Each of them had been given their fair share of pummeling's and humiliations, both deserved and undeserved.īut all of this was in the past, for the last two years had been spent in relative peace. Most unsuccessful, with these cons invariably earning them the ire of the local cul-de-sac kids. Previous years had held many exploits, all stemming from various scams they had attempted. No doubt involving many misadventures, he could see them vividly. He knew that his friends Eddy and Ed, had big plans for the summer. Endless possibilities for what the coming days would offer dashed through his mind. For this was the first day of summer vacation.
A dim orange glow hung over the cul-de-sac one May morning, this day held a great significance to Edd, known to his friends as Double D.
