It was a boring saturday.. day. What, did you expect a night? No. Anyways, the three people known as Edd, Tom and Matt were doing boring stuff as always, with nothing to really do. Edd had a green hoodie. He loved coke and his pet cat Ringo. He was watching TV with the little black cat on his lap. Tom was in a blue hoodie, which was his usual attire. He liked his broken guitar "Susan" and was trying to play a song with her. It obviously wasn't working well. Matt was different. Matt wore a purple hoodie he got from Christmas one time, which he wore the rest of the time. He also had a green overcoat over it. He also had a square face and, unlike the other two, wasn't... as intelligent and non-narcissistic. Nobody liked him as much as himself, and he would always get into some sort of trouble. Nothing had happened the entire day, and the three were getting bored just sitting around and doing nothing. So Matt (being the idiot he is) thought of a great thing to do. "Hey guys!" He had yelled out. "I've got a great thing to do together!"

A minute or two later, our three characters had been in their backyard, Tom had an old camera he had a long time ago, trying to make movies. Edd and Matt were on the roof of their house, Edd held a shopping cart with Matt in it, somehow. "Alright guys, this is called "The "Jumping Cart"! You ready?" The one in the green hoodie had said to Matt. "Couldn't be less ready!" Square Face yelled, smiling, as Tom held the camera to the two. Edd pushed the cart to a ramp that they somehow got in, and they were flying. Edd, Matt, and the cart. And the landing.. was pretty horrid. Tom's jaw just dropped, seeing as how green hoodie and green overcoat just survived a jump from a roof with a shopping cart. Matt just had his thumb up and muffled out "We're okay!" , as his beautiful face was buried underground.

The cart, afterwards, looked bent, broken, dusty, and dirty. Obviously they'd taken this cart from the local K-Mart Parking Lot. Too bad they closed. Closed or not, the three would have to deal with legal issues if they didn't order a new one. and the thing is, they only had 19 or 20 dollars, each. "Alright, uhh, that makes about 60 dollars each. Are we really going to waste our money because we're morons?" Tom had said. "Oh, of course we are." Mr Blue Hoodie said, once again. There were a couple of shopping carts on eWay, which is and isn't weird considering that someone once tried to sell all of Oklahoma on there. They ordered one, and it took about 2 days to arrive. Edd had told about the situation to the owners, and the cart was back in the lot, safe and sound, at the closed K-Mart. So, uh, happily ever after?
