Hello. This is an idea I came up with while watching Ed, Edd 'n Eddy's Big Picture Show. It takes place during the scene where Eddy and Ed are supposedly sinking in quicksand. If you have not seen the movie yet, watch it and then come back and read. This may be AU, but I will not be yelled at by assholes who don't listen for "spoiling the movie."
With that said, please enjoy.

They were gone.
It had happened so fast, he wasn't sure if he had seen correctly. His best friends, the only two people he had in this world, sucked under the murky sand, stolen right from under Fate's nose. He had tried to get them back. He'd tied the thickest vines he could find around himself and dived in after them. He searched for as long as he could without being sucked in too deep himself, but when he finally, miraculously, pulled them up, neither were breathing.
He tried CPR, he got them breathing again, though barely. They wouldn't last much longer. Now, the only thing left was to accept it. Accept that, without them, he would be alone in this world. On the run and without any allies, he knew he wouldn't last long. He would end up alone, he was sure of it. His cell phone, to be used in emergencies, sat at home, safe in his drawer and the last road he'd seen was miles away.
He shivered, cold, and held his friends' hands. Oh how icy they were, how pale their normally healthy skin tones had turned. What was he to do? Who could he call? No one. The only ones he could ever call were lying at his feet, hanging onto to life by a thread.
He couldn't hold it in anymore. He sobbed. His tears cleared the sandy mud from his cheeks, showering them in salt water, and he did nothing to stop them. Everything they'd been through, all they ran from, only to end up here. It couldn't end like this. Not for them. Not for Ed and Eddy.
Behind him a twig snapped. He didn't bother turning around. It was probably just some animal, looking on curiously, slowly creeping closer to determine if there was a threat. Then came the sound of soft footsteps. A gasp. He turned around and saw Kevin, standing a few feet away. His face was pale, his brow scrunched up in confusion. After about a minute, his face turned from them, to Double D. His eyes held questions he didn't dare answer. As the tears fell from his scared eyes and onto his lips, the third Ed uttered a simply phrase, the only words he could manage.
"Help me."

Very, very short, I know, but it doesn't really need to be long to be powerful. Next, the real chapters start and they'll be much longer. I hope you enjoyed and that you stick around to read.
