NOW PLAYING-Tatyana Ali-Daydreamin'-Eddy's sleep talkin lets him down again!
"can't...cycle...any...more!" wheezed Edd as he
struggled to pedal through the production of the 150th Vega
breaker. The wager was complete. tomorrow the eds would buy Kevin out
of the jawbreaker casino for good.
Edd still felt a chill at the thought of Kevin's inevitable wrath at this, and
wondered whether hey would live to tell the tale. The Garage was becoming chilly and 2am had chimed
on the stairway grandfather clock a while ago. Edd's head
bobbed forward with heaviness as he fought with every muscle
in his body to stay awake. On his head he had a hard-hat
with 3 containers filled with Xtra-Buzz cola, yet even such
a huge amount of caffeine as that failed to sustain him. He
snapped awake again for the 6th time in 5 minutes with a
jolt. He looked over rustily at Ed and Eddy, who were
snoring loudly and huddled up on the deckchair, Eddy
crouched up like a little hedgehog in Ed's coat. Edd slumped
off the bike onto his knees. He groaned as he rubbed his
sore shins and crawled over, his eyes stinging and his hands
twitching with pure exhaustion. He pulled himself up on the workbench and looked cynically at the sleepy pair. "tut...alright for some!" he huffed, then did a double take.
"What's all this Pyrex doing here?" he asked himself as he walked past a huge
sheet of plastic stood up against the wall on the workbench.
"Eddy...Eddy?!?" he poked at him. He glanced
down at them. "Aww...how adorable...wake up!" shouted Edd
down their ears. His lack of sleep took precedence over his
trademark good manners. Eddy flinched and his eyes popped
open. Ed slobbered and rolled over.
"Eww!" irked Eddy as he
found his nose buried in Ed's ripe armpits.
"Give me some quilt, May!" Ed complained in his sleep,
snatching the coat off Eddy. He and Edd stared in
bewilderment, then shook their heads briskly.
"Eddy, it's your turn on the machine!" whined Edd, pulling
Eddy up by his wrist.
"We need to finish the breakerbombs!"
"Double Dee, what do you think you're doing?!?" complained
Eddy, half-asleep. "I was having the coolest dream before you woke me up!"
"Hmm...did it feature Daisy, a jar of chocolate spread and
no spoon, perchance?" asked Edd sarcastically as he picked
up the oilcan to lubricate the pedals on the bike.
"How'd you guess?" asked Eddy with amazement, then he stopped himself.
"I mean,,,yeah, it did but not in the way you mean"-
"Give it up Eddy, you talk in your sleep!" Edd laughed as he
knelt down. "My, you sure do know how to make an innocent
guy like me blush!" He walked over to Ed and peeled his
eyelid back. "Why dont you just ask her out already and put
it out of its misery, sheesh!"
"Speak for yourself, Mr Personality!" Eddy snapped, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "I don't see YOU whipping out the red roses in a hurry either! We all know you're carrying a torch for Missy Twinkletoes!" He scoffed, pushing Ed's leg off him. "anyway, Double D, you know me! Im playing it cool, baby!"
"For your information Eddy, Melissa knows perfectly well how I feel about her." Huffed Edd as he scraped the last of the breakermix into the furnace. "In fact the only reason it isn't official between us is because,,,well, um,,,"
Eddy stood by in anticipation, when suddenly he began tittering like a chimp in a banana factory.
",,,You haven't kissed her, have you?!?" he laughed as he shook his head patronisingly.
"Um,,,well,,,no, I haven't kissed her,,,yet!" said Edd as he twiddled his fingers.
"Man, this is too funny!" cackled Eddy as Edd pulled on Ed's arm,
giving up on Eddy doing any of the dirty work.
"Last night you virtually gave her a sermon on how you'd
"fallen for her almost straight away!" mocked Eddy, fluttering his eyelashes.
"And you couldn't even score so much as a peck on the
cheek?!? Man, you're a slow learner, Double D!"
"C'mon Ed ...you need to wake up!" Urged Edd, dragging him over to the machine, Eddy's taunts seeming to fall on deaf ears. Edd strained as he pushed Ed on to the seat.
"Wham, Bam thank you Spam!" Slurped Ed as he came to. His head
lolled and clumped onto the handlebars. Edd pushed his forehead up and shoved a carjack under what chin he had to keep him upright.
"So Cmon Double D, quit avoiding it!" giggled Eddy. "What's the hold up?!?"
"Well, Ed refuses to wake up so I can only"-
"You KNOW what I'm talking about, Sockhead!" interrupted Eddy, sitting on the doorway steps cradling his stomach.
"you,,,Mel,,,Ello, Ello, Ello!" he croaked in a cranky
French accent, his hands clasped under his chin.
"Well, for one thing, Eddy,,," hissed Edd, putting Ed's feet on the pedals and taking the X-tra Buzz hard-hat off his sockhat (sorry, folks!) and placing it on the sleepy simpleton's head.
" Any chance I've HAD of kissing her has been quickly and cruelly annihilated by YOU!"
"What? How's it my fault?!?" creaked Eddy. "You've had plenty of chances!"
"Y'know Eddy, somewhere in the midst of this soap-opera called
Double Dee's Love Life there's a factor popping up that continues
to puzzle me!" Edd spat as he marched over to Eddy, Ed slowly
unravelling again.
"You listened sooooooooo attentively to our conversation on the walkie-talkies yet you failed to notice the few moments
silence between us when something COULD have ha"-
"Arf!Arf!" barked Ed as the X-tra Buzz kicked in and zapped
through his body. His feet spun wildly and the rickety
machine vibrated viciously.
"It's amazing what 3 brain cells and a can of cola can do!"
snorted Eddy, heading for the door.
"Dont forget to paint that Pyrex, Double Dee! we need it for the stage background."
Eddy pointed to a stack of multi-coloured paint cans
standing next to the machine, and 2 huge vats of glitter.
"Where do you think YOU'RE going?" demanded Edd.
"Home, Im beat!" said Eddy, yawning. Edd stumbled after him and
fell onto him lifelessly, his tired legs quaking.
"I,,,I,,,can't feel my legs anymore, Eddy! I'm,,,I'm dead from
the waist down!" he squealed, hanging onto Eddy's shoulders as he walked.
"I am dead from the neck up!" said Ed as he cycled. Suddenly
sparks flew up from the tyres and concrete chips scattered
as they drilled into the floor, Ed still pedalling
feverishly.
"Oh, the calamity!" swooned Edd. "thank the heavens I've already made 150 vegabreakers already!"
"Yeah, but we could've just put my bike on instead!" shrugged Eddy.
Edd looked up at Eddy with a glaring and twitching eye,
swirling with tiny red veins.
"A bike,,," he spat. "You,,,mean to tell me,,,you had a bike
I could have fixed up to the machine and cut my workload by half,,,this whole time?!?" He stammered, murderous rage growing in his voice.
"Yeah,,, your point is?" asked Eddy ignorantly. Edd nodded his head insanely with an icy grimace on his face.
"Really?,,,I'm gonna kill you." He said with a jittery laugh, one eye protruding madly.
"W-what?" asked Eddy, hardly listening.
"I'm gonna KILL you!" repeated Edd, swinging Eddy back by his collar with all his might. Eddy broke off and started walking backwards towards the machine.
"Now, now, Double D! Ease up, buddy!" he pleaded with a nervous grin, his arms outstretched.
"I'm gonna kill you, Eddy!" he snarled stomping towards him.
"C'mon now"-
"No, no no I'm serious I'm gonna KILL you!" he launched himself at Eddy. Ed looked on confused.
"Ed, he's a wild animal! Help!" appealed Eddy, holding Edd off with his hand under his chin as he reached for his neck.
"8 hours Sleep! That's All I ask for and -you-have-to-tall-y-an-hi-a-lated-my-sleep-ing-pattern!" chanted Edd as he shook Eddy vigorously by his shoulders, banging his head unintentionally on the base of the improbreaker machine, making it shake.
"Duououble D-e-e-e-e-e!" juttered Eddy, mid-strangulation. "Ye-ou-ou-ou-r ha-a-a-an-ds are fr-eie-e-I-e-I-ee-I zin-I-I-I-I-ing"
"Here I come, guys!" laughed Ed as he belly-flopped onto Edd,
sitting on Eddy's chest as he shook him. The machine teetered and CRASH!
Fell against the planks of wood underneath the paint cans and tubs of glitter.
The Eds froze mid-fight and watched with awe as the paint
cans soared through the air and crashed against the Pyrex with the glitter. They gaped as they watched the vibrant fuschia pink and fluorescent orange mix and swirl
together. The emerald green glided into the gaps while the yellow mingled
with the scattered glitter, creating a groovy disco affect.
The midnight blue had a stinging contrast as it snaked its way through the tamer tones of hot chocolate and purple.
The Eds stood up and Edd flicked the main light switch on. The boys squinted as the light bounced rebelliously off the brazen colours, and shafts of tiny light danced off the glitter.
"Double Dee, you're a genius!" squeaked Eddy, hugging Edd as he stood still,
quaking with overwhelming situation overload. "It's perfect!"
"Yeah, lovely,,,can I go to bed now?" Edd asked in a monotone.
