Royalty of Halloween Town
By: Jennifer Gay
Summary: An Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy/Nightmare Before Christmas crossover that is my own sequel to Halloween of Hair by AMX. It is almost a week before Halloween starts in Peach Creek. And around this time, Double D's cousin comes to live with him in the Cul-De-Sac and befriends the other two Ed's. She seems pretty normal by their standards while she and Eddy grow a bond between each other. But when Halloween finally rolls around the corner, an old enemy of the Stouthearted Ed's comes back, along with someone else; someone from one of the Ed's and Alani's pasts…

Chapter 1: Saturday--A New Face in the Cul-De-Sac
It was a somewhat peaceful, fall morning weekend here in the little community of Peach Creek as we zoom in on one of the neighborhoods; the Peach Creek Cul-De-Sac. And in the second house on the right of the entrance, that's where we start this story. We see a figure in his room, sleeping in his circular-shaped bed. He was a teen boy that seemed to be just a smidge too short for his age of fifteen and had only three, long strands of dark blue hair on his head.
His name is Eddy Wendell; he hasn't really changed in his attitude too much since he was twelve. But he has been better about caring for other's problems, thinking that he would get something in return for helping them.
Anyway, Eddy was starting to wake up from his slumber, stretching a little as he did; he showed his dark, foggy blue orbs. He noticed what time it was now; seven o'clock. Eddy made a little smirk to himself; time to think of a scam for the kids to fall for.
He then proceeded to get himself dressed for the day without any hassle on time. He wore a yellow t-shirt that went right to his waistline. The shirt had a purple collar and a red stripe coming down the right side of his shirt. He wore baggy blue jeans with a silver wallet chain coming out of his front left pocket and also wore red tennis shoes.
Eddy then proceeded to leave his house after he got dressed. He walked across the street and down the sidewalk to get to his friend's house. His friend, Double D, was waiting for him at the front of his house. His other friend, Ed, was also there waiting for him.
Ed was a tall, fifteen year old boy with a red-tinted buzz cut, a unibrow and had hazel, green-brown eyes. He was wearing a red and white striped t-shirt that was underneath a long, green jacket that went a little past his waist, baggy blue jeans, and black tennis shoes. Ed's intelligence has improved a bit since a year ago, though he still is a little slow in understanding a few things.
Double D was a middle sized twelve year old boy that had only three strands of black hair coming out of the back of his white-striped, black sockhat and had dark, jade green eyes. He wore a red t-shirt that went past his waist, purple carpenter pants that went to his knees, and blue tennis shoes with long, red socks that went to his mid calf. Double D hasn't changed a whole lot since a year ago. He is still the kind, caring person he has always been.
Ed was the one to notice Eddy coming to them, "Hi Eddy!" greeted as Eddy came over to his two friends and Double D turned his attention to Eddy.
"Hey guys," Eddy stated with a weak smile, "What're you guys doing out here?"
"Why Eddy, don't you remember what I told you yesterday?" Double D asked him.
Eddy arched an eyebrow, "Umm… No."
Double D rolled his eyes, "My cousin who lived in England is coming to live with me for a while."
"Umm… Why is she coming here again?" Ed asked.
"I can't really tell anyone why she's coming to stay…" Double D stated with a sigh, "But all we can do for her is--?"
Suddenly, they heard and saw a Greyhound bus coming to the Cul-De-Sac and stop near the entrance; at the bus stop, to be more precise. Soon a person walked off the bus with one suitcase; the person then put the suitcase down as the bus then drove away from the Cul-De-Sac.
"Ah, and there she is now," Double D said with a wide smile as he walked over to the person who got off the bus.
Eddy and Ed looked at each other, both shrugged their shoulders and both went after Double D. When they finally arrived to the bus stop corner, they got a good look at the person.
The person was a slightly paled, fifteen year old teen girl with long, jet black hair that went to the tip of her hips and had radiant, forest green eyes. She was wearing an orange t-shirt underneath a long sleeved, white denim-like jacket that almost went to her ankles; an ordinary pair of blue jeans, and orange and white tennis shoes.
"Alani, hello!" Double D called out to the girl as he and the other two Ed's started to walk over to the girl.
The girl turned her attention to the arriving Ed's; she made a wide smile, "Cousin Eddward!"
She then picked up her suitcase again and ran over to the arriving Ed's, "It's nice to finally see you again, cousin."
"Likewise to you," Double D replied.
The girl then noticed the two other Ed's with him, "Are these your friends?"
"Yes," Double D started to say as he pointed to Ed, "This is Ed…" he then pointed to Eddy, "… And this is Eddy."
They both made little 'hello' waves; Ed's wave was his usual greeting, while Eddy's wave was short and hesitant.
"Nice to finally meet you two as well," the girl said with a smile, "My name is Alani," she then looked around for a split second, "Which house is yours, Double D?"
"Oh, it's the first one on the left," Double D stated as they soon walked back to Double D's house without a problem.
They all then stepped into Double D's house, talking off their shoes as Double D directed them to do when they walked in. They soon walked into Double D's living room.
"So Alani," Eddy started to say as they sat down on the couch. Alani turned to him, "Why did ya come to stay here with Double D?"
Alani made a sad face to him, as if it brought back a sad memory, "Well, I--"
"T-That's not a topic to be discussing at the moment, Eddy," Double D quickly interrupted, "Maybe another time."
Alani made a relieved sigh as Eddy looked at her, slightly worried; what happened to her to make Double D so protective?
"… Well, do you want us to show you around or something?" Ed asked, changing the subject of the conversation, "You know you're gonna have to know where everything is."
Alani giggled a little, "Of course," she said as she and the Ed's stood up from where they just sat, "Show me the Cul-De-Sac!"
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the Peach Creek Junkyard, we see a huge, patched cloth bag lying on the filthy ground of the junkyard. For some reason, a bunch of different-colored bugs of different shapes and sizes were being attracted to this big piece of cloth. It also looked like they were going inside the cloth, one-by-one… It looks like it would take a week before the bag would be full of bugs…
Well, this is another idea that's come into my brain. Actually, I've been thinking about this since AMX's Halloween of Hair ended. I've contacted her and told I was going to do this, now I need a reply back. But, in the meanwhile, enjoy this little bit of it for now!
