//------------------------------// // Low Ed Structure // Story: Ed, Edd, n' Eddy: Equestrian Mis-Edventures // by Barracuda cyborg //------------------------------// It was a productive day for Applejack, she was busy kicking trees and tending to the farms many chores. Granted for an Apple this was nothing special, but what made this day more surprising was with what had happened in the barn. "Applejack, I could use some help!" The farm girl's brother; Big Macintosh exclaimed. "Hold on Big brother, I'm coming!" Applejack shouted as she hastily made her way towards the barn. She soon saw the red stallion using his hind legs to keep a part of the barn from falling over. "How the hay did this even happen?" Applejak asked. Big Mac simply shrugged as he jerked his head towards what seemed to be some broken support beams. "Great, looks like I'm gonna have to find something to hold that wall." "Or Someone." Big Mac replied, little did he know that he just gave her sister a good idea. "So what do you need?" Ed asked as he followed the farm pony. "I just wanna see if you can hold up a wall for me." Applejack replied, "Twilight told me you practically smashed a tree when Trixie came back to town." The duo eventually made it to the barn and it looked like Big Mac was struggling to keep his legs up any longer. "Well have at it big guy." "Hooray!" Ed exclaimed as he ran up towards the wall, with the boy's tremendous bulk the wall shifted itself back into place which also gave Big Mac a chance to fall back to the ground. "She was right, you are strong." Applejack said, completely surprised that Ed was able to push a barn wall in so easily, "Now Ed, I need you to stay here keeping the wall up while me and Big mac go and get supplies to fix that wall, don't move a single muscle." "Gotcha AJ." Ed replied as he instantly froze like a statue, taking Applejack's words to heart. Hours seemed to pass by until Eddy and Double D happened to come across the big lug. "Hey mono-brow, whaddya doing here?" Eddy asked. "Oh hey Eddy, I'm keeping a wall up for Applejack while she gets stuff to fix it." "Oh come on Ed, we managed to scrape up a few more bits for those super huge jawbreakers and we were gonna hit up Sugarcube Corner before it closes." Eddy stated before he pulled up a bag full of bits. "Sorry Eddy, but I promised Applejack that I would not move a muscle." Ed replied, "A promise is a promise." Eddy was a bit shocked that Ed was rejecting jawbreakers, he thought the wall was getting to him, so he tried his best to try and dislodge the oaf from his spot. Eddy tried with all his might, but it was a classic definition of a unstoppable force and an unmovable object, "Jeeze Ed, did you stick your shoes in cement or something?" "Nope, just following orders to not move a muscle." Ed replied. "Come on Double D, I could use some help here!" Eddy exclaimed as he continued to push Ed with no avail. "Eddy please, I for one respect Ed and his commitment to his promise." Double D responded to Eddy, "Besides we could just go to store tomorrow." "I am not gonna wait another day to get the jawbreakers so big they rival truck tires!" Eddy Shouted as he continued to push Ed. The whole thing kept going until Applejack and Big Mac came back with the tools. "Oh hey AJ you're back!" Ed exclaimed, "And despite Eddy's attempts, I haven't moved an inch." "Well that's mighty fine of ya, but could ya keep holding up the wall for a bit while we do the repairs?" Applejack asked, much to Eddy's dismay. "Oh come on!" Eddy shouted, "We've been waiting for hours!" Double D sighed at Eddy's impatience, "Eddy we've only been here for an hour, read a magazine or something if you want to kill time." "I would if there were some enjoyable." Eddy replied as he sat down in the dirt like a stubborn goat. "Oh come now Eddy, this will only take a moment or two." Applejack said flatly, "Besides it ain't like you guys have any plans for today anyways." The repairs didn't take much time, but to Eddy it felt like an eternity with every single nail pounding. After testing that the wall was sturdy enough, Ed was relinquished of his job. "Sweet, if we hurry then we can make it to Sugarcube Corner before it closes!" Eddy exclaimed as he grabbed his friends and rushed out of the door. At Sugarcube Corner Pinkie Pie was in the process of closing the shop for the day, but before she could even turn the 'open' sign to 'close' the Eds had rushed into the store, "I knew we'd get here in time!" Eddy said happily, "Three Jumbo-delicious-Jawbreakers-that-literally-break-your-teeth jawbreakers please." Pinkie Pie looked surprised, "You guys are in luck, I'll be back with them in a few seconds!" The party pony made a mad dash behind the counter and pulled out the giant orbs of deliciousness, "I just need the cash." "No problemo!" Eddy replied as he reached into his pocket, his eyes grew wide as he suddenly realized what was going on, "I left the cash back at the farm..." he muttered, "How could I just leave cash behind!?" Double D reached into his hat and pulled out the little bag, "I have the cash, I took it when we were waiting for Applejack." "How did you take it from me?!" Eddy asked, "I didn't even feel my pants get lighter." "I took it from you when you passed out from trying to pry Ed from the wall." Double D responded before turning towards Pinkie, "We'll take the jawbreakers." Moments later the Eds were enjoying the candy outside of the store, "See Eddy, all that waiting paid off." Eddy sighed as he looked at the giant sphere, "I guess, but for crying out loud sockhead, you practically gave me a heart attack." "Patience is a virtue, but having the goal within your grasp makes the victory sweeter." Ed said as he licked on the candy, before shoving it into his mouth.
