//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: A grim new day // Story: The Grim adventure of Ed,edd,eddy and sunset // by Savant 123 //------------------------------// It was a bright, sunny day, and sunset had just woken her up from her sleep. After a bit of stretching and a quick shower, she went downstairs to get breakfast. On her dining table, she saw Grim drinking coffee from a mug and reading a newspaper. “Good morning, grim.” Sunset greeted him as she grabbed a box of cereal and a carton of Mike from the fridge, and sat down on the dining table. “There is nothing good about today,” he said in a grumpy voice. "I have been enslaved by four kids—me, the grim reaper.” “Come on, grim." Sunset said, ”It isn’t that bad. So why don’t you finish your drink and get ready because we are meeting the Eds soon?” Sunset and Grim continue to enjoy their breakfast before going out to meet the rest of the Ed’s. The two meet the Ed’s at the front yard of Ed house. “Hi sunset, hi grim,” Ed said, greeting them. “Greetings,” Double D said. “What took you so long?“ Eddy complains to him, to which sunset just rolls her eyes. “It's still early, the sunset said in annoyance. “Whatever“ was his only reply. "Anywhere,"Sunset said, "what is the agenda for today?“ “It simply really,“ Eddy said, "we are going to find a use to have grim here and make us money.“ “Hold on right there,“ Grim said in protest. “I am the grim reaper, not an entertainer.” “Well, suck it up,” Eddy said. ”Because we are doing it.“ But before they can do anything, Rolf walks past them. “Greeting Ed boys,” he greeted them, but stopped when he saw Grim. ”May Ed boys tell Rolf why the grim reaper is on the tall Ed boys front yard.” "Huh, you seem to take the fact that there is the grim reaper here very well,” Sunset said. “I think I may know why,” Grim said. ”Your friend here is from the old country, a country where supernatural creatures and events happen almost regularly that the inhabitants aren’t phrase in seeing one.” “ Rolf, is that true?“ sunset asked Rolf, to which he nodded. “Well, to answer your question, Rolf,“ Double D said, ” Grim lost a bet, and now he is our best friend forever.“ “And ever,” Ed said. Eddy suddenly had an idea for a scam and turned to Rolf. “Hey Rolf,“ Eddy said. "How much you want to pay to have the grim reaper do all your chores.” “No thanks, Ed Boy." Rolf said, "Rolf, do not wish to be involved with another one of your scams today. So good bye.“ He walked away, much to eddy frustration. “Can’t this day get any worse?” Eddy said, and as if to answer his question, the Kakers sister appears. “Look, girls, it is our men,” Lee said to her sisters. “Oh, great, the Kankers sister,” Sunset said, annoyed. When she first met the Kakers sister, it was during the time the Ed’s were trying to get their anchor from their trailer. Since they only needed three people for their trench coat disguise, sunset was forced, in a brief case, to her frustration. After Ed made the disguise fail due to his idiotic nature, Sunset quickly came out of the briefcase to help them when it looked like they were in trouble. Luckily, sunset had in her her tasers and pepper spray she has on her just in case she gets into trouble. After stocking Lee and spraying Marie in the eyes, the last sister may quickly retreat back to her trailer while dragging her sisters back in. Since then, the Kankers have had it out for her, especially since they do not like having another girl near their men. They have been trying their best to get her back, but the former unicorn managed to not only evade them but also turn the table on them with each attempt. As sunset was about to take out her tasers and pepper spray, the Kankers noticed grim. “Hey, who is this guy?" Marie ask. “I am the grim reaper,“ Grim said, which caused all three girls to laugh. “Oh sure,“ May said sarcastically, “and I am the Easter bunny.” She laughed some more. Annoy grim pulled his head off, much to the girls shock. "AHHHHHHH,” they all scream. “Oh no, the Ed’s hired a supernatural hitmen to take us out,” Marie said as she screamed. “And not to dinner, kind of takeout “may said. Instantly, all three sisters run as far away as their can, as grim put his head back on. “Well, at least we now have a way to get those Kankers off our backs once and for all,” Sunset said as nazz suddenly appeared. “Hi guys, hi sunset,“ she greeted, but stopped when he saw grim. “Hey, whose you new friend ?“ “I am the grim reaper,“ Grim said. “Oh, ok," nazz said. ”By the way, I don’t know what you doing to keep your figure, but keep doing it; you look good. Anyhow, I got to get home and am watching this horror movie marathon that is about to start. The first one is called Vampires from Mars.” “Oh, that's my favorite,“ Ed said. "My favorite part is where...” “Ah, no spoilers,“ Nazz said as she walked off. “Anywhere," sunset said, “so what are we going to do today?” Before anyone could say anything, Johnny came into the scene, having been hiding in a tree nearby and watching everything. “Hey guys,“ Johnny said as he greeted them while climbing out of the tree. ” Plank wants to know if we can play with your grim reaper friends, Scythe.” “I don’t think that’s wise,“ Grim said. “My scythe is a powerful artifact that...” However, Eddy interrupted him. "Sure, just give me a quarter, and you get to play with it,” he said as he outstretched his hands to receive the quarter, which Johnny did. After paying him, Eddy grabbed a grim scythe and gave it to him. After Johnny ran off to play with the scythe grim, sunset and Double D glared at him. “Eddy,“ Double D said in anger, “Out of all the scams you have done, this is without a doubt the lowest you have done. Letting someone like Johnny play with a sharp item. He could poke his eye out.” "That is the least of our problems,“ Grim said. ” As I was saying before being rudely interrupted, my scythe is a powerful supernatural artifact that, if it falls into the wrong hands, can bring great disasters upon this world.” “I quite agree with Grim here,” Sunset said, knowing that powerful magical artifacts are not something to be used lightly. Her experience in the fall formal has been proof of that. "Ah, come on,“ Eddy said, dismissing their worry about ” what the worst could happen.“ As soon as he said that, a scream was heard. Instantly, everyone ran toward the source and found Johnny blasting everything and everyone with the scythe. He blasted a trash can, giving it a spider leg, causing it to walk away; he blasted Kevin, who was on his bike, turning him into a monkey and his bike into a tricycle; he blasted Sarah and Jimmy, turning her into a frog and him into a chicken, respectively. “I think that’s enough,“ Grim said. “Hey Johnny boy, your time with the scythe is up, so give it back and no refunds,” Eddy said before being zapped by it, turning him into a donkey. Johnny then zaps Grim, turning him into a penguin. “This is fun plank,” Johnny said to his wood friend. “All right, Johnny, fun’s over,” sunset said, “hand over the scythe.” “Why” was his only simple answer. “Because you are causing problems, so let me have it,” she replied. “You heard her plank, let her have it.” Johnny then zapped sunset with the scythe turning her into her pony form. “Huh, what are the chances I turn into this?” Sunset said, looking over her body. She then heard another zap and looked up to see Ed turn into a fish. “I am a fish,” Ed said. “That does it,“ Sunset said as she used the horn to perform telekinesis, taking the scythe away from Johnny, and give it to Grim, who used it to restore everything to normal. “Hey, no fair," Johnny said before grim knocked him unconscious. …. After everything was turned back to normal, the five left the scene quickly, but not before dragging an unconscious Johnny and burying him and Plank in a garden with only their heads sickening out as punishment. Currently, all five of them are in sunset house watching TV. “Well, that was an interesting day,“ Grim said. “And something tells me it's only going to get more interesting,“ Sunset said. Unknown to all of them, however, behind them and outside the window, a camera was sticking out of the ground, watching them before it returned to the ground. …. Who sent that camera, and what adventure will this lead to? Find out in the next chapter of the Grim Adventures of Ed, Edd, Eddy, and Sunset.
