Ed Edd n Eddy: Friends Forever

(2 Months after Big Picture Show)

Chapter 1. Début

It was a crisp, fall morning and Double d was ready for the first day of the new school year. Life had become easier ever since the incident with Eddy's Older Brother. Kevin, Nazz, Rolf, Jimmy and Sarah were a lot nicer and accepting of him and his friends. In fact, The Eds and the other kids were all going to be walking to school together that morning. The only people they hadn't completely made amends with were the Kankers and Johnny 2x4. He was optimistic about Johnny coming back around, even though that hadn't seen him since it all happened. As for the Kankers, Well He didn't really want to think about them. "New year Eddward, New Curriculum" He said to Himself in the mirror, adjusting his tie then grabbing his bag. He couldn't help but get giddy and full of joy just thinking about all the new things he'll get to learn. He made his way down the stairs and opened the door to head out but forgot to say goodbye to his parents. "Im off to School Mother and Father" He yelled. They didn't answer back but he was in too much of a hurry to care. He walked outside and was greeted with the sight of Ed and Eddy already standing outside.
*That's odd* He thought to himself. *Those two are never up this early, let alone ready for school*.
"Hello Double d!" Said Ed, embracing his friend in a big hug. Double d almost couldn't breathe from how tight the hug was. "Hello to you too Ed, could you please put me down" he exclaimed.
"But Double d, I just couldn't sleep last night! The new comic store opens today! Do you know how many Evil Tim comics they will have?! I'm going there right after School" Ed shouted, unable to contain the excitement and enthusiasm
"Yeah, Lumpy over here made sure to wake me up this morning. I could still be in bed right now." Eddy grunted, crossing his arms and looking at the ground. Well that explained why they were both up, so Double d cleared his mind.
"Well Ed, I may accompany you there later" hesaid, making Ed's smile even bigger. "But we must hurry and meet up with the others, I'm sure they're waiting for us"
"Well Me and Ed have been out here all morning and haven't seen any of the others." Eddy said, causing Double d to raise an eyebrow. He knew the two companions to be late usually, but not the other kids.
"I'm sure they just slept in, why don't we go see if we can get Kevin up" He said, Beginning to walk towards his house.
Once they arrived, Double d rang the door bell once, but there was no answer. He stood there a few more moments and rang it again, to his surprise, there was no answer again.
"You two are sure none of them already left to the school?" He asked his friends. Both shook their heads no, So he tried ringing it two more times, yet still there was no answer. The boys tried Nazz's house, Rolf's and Jimmy's but there were no answers.
"Ed did you see Sarah leave your house this morning?" Eddy asked.
"No, I thought Sarah was still asleep. I woke up really early to be ready for the Comic book store to Eddy. Maybe Evil Tim got them!" Ed said panicking, clinging to Double d. Eddy too began to get a tad bit worried.
"Nonsense" explained Double d. "I'm sure our friends are at school. We need to be heading there also or we will be late, so lets make haste". He started to speed walk down the road towards the school, Ed and Eddy followed.
The Eds arrived there and hurried to their Homeroom that they shared with Kevin.
"Im sure we will be acquainted with the familiar phrase "Hey Dorks" when we enter" Double d said. His two friends both still had a worried look on their faces. As the three walked in, they were hit with a shocking sight. There was no one in the room, no teacher, no students, no Kevin.
"Evil Tim has gotten them ALL! What do we do now Double d?!" yelled Ed, backing against the wall and breathing heavily. Eddy tried very hard to act cool and unaffected, but was too getting worried. Double d was trying to find words or some explanation as to why there was no one there. Kevin now being there was one thing, but everyone not being there baffled him.
"I- I.." He muttered. " I don't understand. Maybe there is an assembly in the gym or the cafeteria." He quickly turned around and headed to the gym, his friends close behind. When they got there, it was dead silent and completely empty. They had not seen a single person since they'd been there. But, A laugh could be heard coming from down the hall.
"That sounded like it was coming from the Cafeteria!" He exclaimed "Lets go check". They made their way out andto the sound. Still no one was there.
"But that's impossible" Said Double d. "I Know I heard something".
"I did too man, this keeps getting weirder and weirder" Eddy stated. "Well at least there's no School" he said trying to make light of the situation. But it was bothering all of the boys. None of the kid's parents even answered the door when they knocked. There were cars outside the school but no one was there.
"Theres no anything Eddy." Said Double d. "And it doesn't make any sense. Its as if everyone just vanished, no tra.." Doube d paused and glanced at floor underneath one of the Cafeteria tables.
"What is it Double d?" said Ed, watching as his friends reached underneath the table and pulled something out. It was a hat that looked just like Kevin's.
"That has to be Kevin's!" said Ed. "Does that means hes here with us Double d?"
"Yeah Sock head, do you think hes here?" Eddy added. Double d didn't know what to say. Part of him wanted to look for an explanation and reassure his friends there was nothing to worry about, but the other part of him wanted to freak out. He examined the hat for a moment and noticed there was a liquidy substance on the back by the snaps. He pressed his finger to it and when he pulled it away, there was some on his finger. He dropped the hat and began to shake, looking at his hands and seeing it had gotten all over them.
"is that BLOOD?!" Ed Shrieked. Double d couldn't speak, he just began to shake more when he heard that word. It couldn't be blood, why was Kevin's hat here and why did there seem to be blood on it? He tried to make sense of it in his head but it all boiled over in him mind and he too panicked.
"We have got to get out of here!"" He yelled. The three quickly started towards the front entrance of the school. Their blood was pumping, all that could be heard was the sound of them running, the dead silence piercing their ears, causing them to run faster.
"This is just a joke right? That isn't blood is it Double d?" Eddy wailed. He couldn't answer and says it wasn't, but he didn't wanna alarm his friend.
"We can just get back to my house and tell my parents, they'll call the police and they can see whats going on" he bellowed. The Eds made it out and started heading down the road. Mean while, there was a pair of eyes watching them from bushes by the entrance of the school as they ran by. A smile went across their face, knowing it all was going according to plan.
