"Yes, last day of school!" Bella cheered. Edd sighed.

"The academic year has been unbelievably short," He said.

"Been too long, in my opinion," Bella said.

"Monster movie marathon tonight!" Ed cheered happily.

"Back to the scamming business," Eddy smiled happily.

"And no homework for three months!" Bella cried happily, spinning in a circle.

"And the pool is open," Edd added.

"Yay, I missed swimming," Bella said, "It's my second favorite hobby."

"It's my fourth favorite next to science, social studies, and math," Edd said.

"My first favorite is reading and writing," Bella said.

"Wait, is reading your first favorite, or is writing your first favorite?" Edd asked, confused.

"Both," Bella giggled, "They're tied for first."

"That's mathematically impossible," Edd said.

"No it's not," Bella said, "They're my favorite things."

"Whatever ends this conversation," Eddy said.

At the end of the day, the cul-de-sac kids were in their homeroom as they counted down till summer vacation.

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1..."

The bell rang for the last time and everyone ran out the doors with their stuff, cheering. Eddy pulled a list out of his pocket and showed it to Bella.

"Here's the list of scams," He said.

"Ok, cool," Bella said, "Well, I'm gonna be spending some time writing, so you guys can do that."

"And I'm doing a monster movie marathon," Ed repeated.

"I'm going to re-organize my bookshelves," Edd said.

"Sorry Eddy," Bella said. Eddy frowned.

"That's fine, I can do my scams on my own," Eddy said. The four split up to do their own things. Eddy walked down the sidewalk, grumbling to himself. Sarah and Jimmy ran past, laughing happily.

"Whee, summer!" Sarah cheered.

"Let's have a tea party, Sarah!" Jimmy said. Eddy looked at the first thing on the list.

"Hmm, an ice cream stand," He smirked.

After the 'ice cream stand' was complete…

Eddy was sitting and waiting for people to get 'ice cream.' Kevin and Nazz walked up.

"Where's the other dorks?" Kevin asked.

"What other dorks?" Eddy shrugged.

"Ed and Double D, duh," Kevin said.

"I don't know or care," Eddy said.

"Hey dude, like, what happened?" Nazz asked, "Did you guys get in a fight or something?"

"No, they're busy," Eddy said, getting annoyed.

"Oh, ok," Nazz shrugged, "So what's this?"

"Ice cream, duh," Eddy said.

"Oh, I'll try some," Nazz said, "Want some, Kevin?"

"Fine, I guess," Kevin said. They both handed Eddy a quarter each. Eddy smiled.

'See, I don't need them,' He thought. They both took a bite but quickly spit it out.

"Hey, this isn't ice cream!" Kevin yelled angrily.

"Dude, this is nail polish!" Nazz gagged, "Gross!"

Eddy laughed nervously and put up a closed sign.

"Hey, give us our quarters back!" Kevin yelled.

"Sorry, no refunds," Eddy said.

"That wasn't even ice cream!" Kevin said.

"Potato, patato," Eddy said.

"Dude, so not cool," Nazz glared.

"Give us our money back!" Kevin shouted.

"Sorry, no refunds," Eddy repeated. Kevin grabbed the front of Eddy's shirt and held up a fist.

"How'd you like a knuckle sandwich?!" Kevin yelled.

"Here, take 'em," Eddy said, throwing the quarters at Kevin's face. Kevin growled as him and Nazz walked off. Eddy sighed.

"Aw man," He said aloud.

"Hey Eddy," Bella said, popping up in front of Eddy and startling him, "What's up?"

"Working," Eddy said.

"Oh," Bella said, "What is it this time?"

"Nothing. Shouldn't you be writing right now?" Eddy asked.

"I'm looking for inspiration," Bella sighed, "I got writer's block. I can't come up with a new story idea."

"Wanna help out?" Eddy asked.

"I guess," Bella shrugged, "What're you doing?"

"Scamming," Eddy said, "Duh."

"I mean what IS the scam, duh," Bella rolled her eyes.

"Ice cream," Eddy said. Bella glanced at the 'ice cream supplies.'

"Made of tennis balls, sandpaper and nail polish?" She asked.

"Yeah," Eddy said. Bella rolled her eyes.

"No one's gonna buy that, you know that, right?" She asked.

"Shut up," Eddy whispered.

"Hey, just trying to be realistic," Bella shrugged. A monarch butterfly landed on her finger. She smiled than gasped happily, "I got it! Butterfly fairies! Fairies with the wings of actual butterflies! That would be adorable!"

"Okay, see you later, I guess," Eddy sighed.

"Nah, I'll stay," Bella said, "I'll work on it later."

"Ok, awesome," Eddy said.

"So, what should I do?" Bella asked.

"Help me make the ice cream," Eddy said. Bella looked up at the sign that read 'ICE CREEM'

"It might also help if you spelled cream correctly," Bella said.

"Whatever," Eddy said.

"And-" Bella began before running to her house and returning with three containers of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, "-used actual ice cream."

"What about cones, genius?" Eddy asked. Bella thought for a minute.

"I think my papa got some," She said, going back to her house and coming back, "I only have 10, though."

"No big deal," Eddy said.

"Cool," Bella said, "Now I'm gonna need two dollars for each container, so I think the least we can do is 50 cents for each. Also, we need a cooler." Eddy pointed to a cooler behind his stand.

"Awesome," Bella said, putting the ice cream inside. Jonny walked up.

"Hey Eddy," He said, looking up at the sign, "Ice cream? Cool!"

"Yeah, only one quarter," Eddy said.

"Two," Bella said, "Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream costs a bit more."

"Wow, chocolate chip AND cookie dough?" Jonny asked, handing Eddy two quarters, "One scoop, please!"

Eddy took the quarters and handed Jonny his ice cream.

"Wow, look Plank!" Jonny said, tasting, "It's awesome!" Jonny walked off. Bella took a quarter.

"Haha, awesome," She smiled.

"I like this version of scamming," Eddy said, smiling.

"Actually, it's not scamming if you're actually selling something worth their money," Bella said.

"Hmm, I'm doing this from now on," Eddy said. Bella smiled.

A few hours later, Eddy was sitting on the curb with Bella, Edd, and Ed.

"Oh boy, that monster movie marathon was awesome!" Ed said happily.

"Big friggin deal," Eddy said.

"Eddy, don't be rude," Bella said, counting her quarters, "I'm gonna buy, like, so much white chocolate."

"I'm gonna have so many jawbreakers," Eddy said.

"Wow, cool," Ed said, "Can we have some?"

No, you didn't help out, so you get nothing," Eddy said. Bella rolled her eyes and handed Ed and Edd each one quarter.

"Here, it's not your fault if you're busy," She said.

"Well Eddy, I suppose that's fair," Edd said. "YOU were the one doing all of the work."

"Yeah, but you can't help it if you're busy," Bella said, "Just take one. Besides, you're our friends."

Eddy rolled his eyes.

"Whatever," He said.

"Let's just go, the candy store closes in half an hour," Bella said, standing up.

"Ok," Eddy said. They walked off to the candy store.
