Prophetic Ed
(where the Eds come across a strange, ghostly
form that seems to have a piece of important knowledge of some sort, but the Eds are so distracted with other things
and how interesting this ghost is that they don't listen to the fact that something is out there).
"Argh!" yelled
an annoyed and upset Eddy, pacing back and forth in front of his friends. There they were, in the middle of the junkyard.
Ed and Edd stood there, watching Eddy continuously pace back and forth in front of them. Eddy had been frustrated over
his final scam that had just failed, and as he paced, he tried to think of thoughts for a fail-proof scam. His scam involved
a museum full of fascinating things. A gold-painted jawbreaker that was really a ball coated in cheap, fake gold paint.
There were gravy sculptures made by Ed (passed around), inventions made by Double D (which were also demonstrated).
But Ed's intrusion, the tampering with Edd's inventions, etc caused a whole lot of chaos, eventually resulting in the museum
collapsing and all of the kids leaving in disgust, getting their refund. Finally Eddy stopped and stared
at his friends. It looked as if they were tracking his every move. "It's all YOUR guys' fault!" yelled Eddy, still stricken
from the terribly failed scam. Eddy looked straight at Ed. "Why do you always have to scare the kids away, LUMPY?! And
running around, messing up all of the museum's equipment. You helped mess the whole thing!" "Can I have buttered toast?" "NO!" "Awww"
whined Ed, looking at the ground in disappointment. Then Eddy cast an evil eye on Edd. "And you, sockhead, your inventions
were terrible! And you kept leading people into the wrong directions during the tour, and you never kept an eye on them!
Sheesh!" "But Eddy," Edd was about to inform, "It wasn't our fault that the building collapsed." "What are you talking
about, Double Mint?" Eddy snorted. "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO BUILT IT!" "But I-" Edd said shakily, but Eddy just gave an ignorant
gesture and strolled off. Edd was losing his patience. He and Ed followed up behind Eddy. "Eddy," Edd said, losing his
temper, "The scams you always get us into contain too much risk! I got worried when the kids looked suspiciously at the
fake golden jawbreaker. And think of all the other scams we had." Eddy, however, turned to face him and snarled "Well,
the scams go GREAT, at least I don't mess them up all the time, with inventions that fail, everything." "Wait," Edd
said, "my inventions break down or don't work because people tamper with th-." "YOU'RE A FAILURE!" Eddy yelled at Edd.
With his feelings hurt, and nothing more to say, knowing he had lost, Edd, discouraged, stared at the ground sadly,
too ashamed to look up. "That's right!" Eddy yelled at the two. "YOU'RE FAILURES!" Ed sat on the pavement and groaned
"Awww, no gravy" with a very disappointed look on his face. But after recovering from his anger, Eddy apologized and cheered
his two friends, and decided that they go over to Eddy's house. In Eddy's room, the Eds are having a conversation.
"I'm tellin' ya," says Eddy, "I used to own a dog, and they are GREAT pets! Until I sold him for jawbreaker money."
Shocked, Edd and Ed looked at Eddy like he was insane. "What?" Eddy asked. Returning to the conversation, Edd said "I don't know,
Eddy. As adorable as they are, dogs can attract fleas, and sometimes you don't know where their fur has been. Very unsanitary!"
"My friend's puppy once licked me until I was wet all over!" Ed remarked, giving one of his silly laughs. Edd withered,
and said "Oh dear, that's VERY unsanitary!" Eddy said, "Aw, c'mon, it's only a-" *CRASH* The Eds were startled as
Eddy's glass window shattered, and Rolf went through it, panicking and running away in Eddy's home, screaming "Save yourselves,
Ed-boys! A specter has come to the cul-de-sac! Rolf must gather his animals and find an escape! The specter will burn those
in the cul-de-sac!!! Have mercy on the son of a shepherd!" "What was that all about?" Eddy asked, confused. "Well, although
Rolf's culture and personality and superstition may never be understandable, I really think he saw something." Ed said
"Oh no! This reminds me of the time in Attack of the Evil Shadow Townspeople, when everyone ran away from the strange,
ghostly mutants who planned to capture them and make them read evil ghostly textbooks forever in the afterlife!" There
was a pause for a moment, and then Edd began giggling. Eddy started laughing. Ed stared at his friends for a moment,
and then started laughing with them, even though he didn't know why. However, they were so distracted by that, that they
had forgotten the issue. That is, until, all of the other kids (with the exception of the kankers, wherever THEY were)
bust through the broken window and ran for cover in Eddy's room. Eddy grew infuriated, but everyone said the same thing that
Rolf did, with the exception of sounding like... Rolf. With every single one of the kids including Rolf scattered throughout
Eddy's home, picking hideouts, Eddy yelled "RRRRGH! What is the problem?!?!", and that was when the kids all said at
once "There's a ghost out there!" Eddy laughed, and then gestured his friends to come with him outside. It was pretty
dark outside, which made it spookier. They finally proceeded out of the door. Ed recited flashbacks from the movie, and
Edd said "Eddy, I'm not sure if this is a great idea. Even if the rumors AREN'T true, which is positively correct, I...I..."
Edd stuttered. "Look," Eddy said, "we'll just look around the corners of this place, and if there's no 'ghost', then we'll go!"
They walked around the cul-de-sac, searching everywhere for what the kids rumored to be a 'ghost'. Ed dug through the trash,
Edd examined things (as to find out if there is any possible trail that the 'ghost' had left) and Eddy just simply looked
around. Edd was busy examining something peculiar looking when a very shocking view caught his eye, just above the object
he had been examining. Frightened, he looked up, and gasped. There it was. Eddy heard Edd gasping, and
went over to where he was, "Didja find him, Double D? Huh? Did you find him?" when he came across Edd, who had just fainted.
After seeing Edd laying there, fainted, Eddy looked up, and saw it, a human-looking form, but red, and red SMOKE. There
it was. The rumor, the 'ghost', whatever it was, and it didn't take him much longer than a second or two to realize
that this was it. And there were some answers to get. The ghost simply stayed, floating where it was, with its eyes meeting
Eddy's. It was like a face-off. The ghost seemed to be about to communicate, but then: "ED!" Eddy yelped in excitement,
"I found it!", but that was when the ghost dissolved in a puff of red smoke. When Ed came, he looked around. "You found a
tomato-soup can too?" "NO! NO! The ghost! He was right here, I tell ya!" After seeing that Ed didn't see anything, Eddy
grunted in frustration, banging his fists on the wall. Eddy and Ed dragged Edd into Eddy's house. After
telling the kids that the ghost had left and that they were safe, the kids evacuated as ordered. Eddy took a bucket
and filled it with water. He then went to where Edd was laid out, and then revived him by pouring the water over him. As
Edd finally gathered his senses, soaking wet, Ed said "I like a drink of water in the morning! And some buttered toast
and gravy!" "Oh dear," Edd said, "Th-th..." Eddy knew what he was trying to say and said "Relax, Double D. That ghost is history.
Heh heh, get it, HISTORY?!" Edd was unmoved by the joke. But he said in excitement "D-did I REALLY spot an ectoplasm?"
Ed said "Ectoplasmic species are often the results of investigation from paranormal investigators." Edd and Eddy stared
at Ed for a while, surprised at what they had just heard. But of course, it was just another rare occasion, as Ed went
back to his usual self, blurting his traditional phrases. They continued with their conversation in Eddy's room, when in
the distance, they could've sworn they heard a strange, humming, noise.
To Be Continued...
