Chapter 1: The beginning
Dee watched the baseball fly cross the field as her boyfriend rounded the first base. It was sailing, higher and higher, until it went out of the field and, "Home run for the Clobbers!" Dee grinned, shooting out of her seat with the rest of the crowd. Nazz, who demanded to sit next to the teen, pulled her into a death gripped hug. Three more bodies were added to the hug as Marie, Sarah, and Jimmy cheered with the two girls. The group followed the rest of the crowd out onto the diamond, squishing Dee in between the others. Kevin was hoisted up on shoulders as the surrounding players broke out in chants and cheers.
As she drew closer to the red-head, Dee felt a familiar tug at the core of her body. She stopped for a moment, placing a hand on her abdomen as if willing it to cease. Nazz and the others did not seem to notice, much to her relief. A certain red-head however did take note of a scared expression he had come to know. Skillfully, Kevin pushed himself off the shoulders of his team mates, pushing his way through fans. When he finally made it to Dee, he took her up in his arms and ran off toward the locker room.
"How much time?" He asked, pushing the locker door open. Dee writhed in his arms, pain shooting through her body.
"N-not enough." She breathed her answer, as he settled her on one of the benches. Kevin did not waste time, pulling his jersey and pads off his body. When the circumstances' are different I shall take time to admire his physic. Dee laughed painfully at her thoughts. She had seen Kevin stripped several times before, each time had been the same; close to leaving a now peaceful place that the two of them created after finding each other again.
"Hey, it'll be okay." Kevin thumbed her cheeks as tears she had not even realized were there, rolled off her cheeks. She could only nod. Of course it would, next time they would figure this out. Next time they would be able to go home.
"Please… Please remember everything." The words came through clenched teeth as Dee doubled over. "I… I lov—"
"NO!" Kevin reached out to grab her, but in a flash Dee was gone. The sound of the rest of the Clobbers filing into the locker room was the last thing Kevin heard as the same blinding light reappeared and engulfed him. Just like the first time…
{~The First Time Through~}
It had been a normal day for the Eds. Dee had been forced into creating some crazy machine out of what could be found in the junkyard, Ed got in the way though he tried his hardest to help her every which way. Half way in to building the stupid machine, Dee was greeted by a headlock, causing a part of the machine to be tampered with unknowingly. She squealed, a hand instantly going to her hat out of habit.
"Kevin! Have we not already moved past these silly antics?" As the arm loosened the hold on her head, Dee looked up at the former bully of the Cul De Sac. She was still in a strange sense of disbelief every time she looked into those emerald eyes. She reasoned that this was something she wore plainly on her face, for every time her thoughts would trick her into believing it was all a dream, Kevin would crush his lips against hers. That time was no exception.
"It ain't a dream, babe." He grinned fully releasing the poor girl, who was trying to catch her breath after the searing kiss left her lightheaded.
She rolled her eyes, a smile playing at her lips.
"Isn't." She corrected; another habit she had picked up, though this one after she had begun dating the jock from across the round-about. Dee moved around the jock, continuing her work on Eddy's machine. "What do I owe the visit, Kevin?" She offered an innocent smile, showing off the small gap in her front teeth that had survived through years of braces. It was that very smile that sent butterflies through Kevin's stomach and caused the teen to blush feverously.
"Whatever dork. So what is all this? Another scam prop?" The red head raised an eye brow at the mess of mechanical parts. Dee gave a giggle, wiggling a wrench at him.
"Perhaps. Though I promise if it is that you and the others shall be perfectly save from the scam itself. I highly doubt that this will even function." After a few more minutes of tinkering, Dee took a step back, placing her tools on the ground. "Care to see a test run?"
Kevin offered a shrug, shoving his hands into his pockets. "What does it do?"
Dee simply smiled. "I haven't the slightest idea." Before anything more was said the ravenette flipped a switch and took a step back. A flash of electricity connecting through old wires, and a sudden burst of smoke were the entire machine offered, before the mechanism blew sending the couple falling backwards. Sharp stabs of pain were sent through the two as pieces of metal embedded into soft flesh.
Yells of concern could be heard as the other teens of the Cul De Sac began to gather around the mess. Slowly the smoke began to dissapitate, but it was quickly replaced by a blinding white light and a shrill scream of pain. When all this was over and the old gang was able to see again, they were greeted by empty space and outlines of where their friends had once been.
Only one teen knew what might have happened in the few moments before the dust settled so to speak. But she was gone.
Hello everyone!
This is my first Kevedd story so please be gentle when if it happens that some characteristics are missing and what not. I promise it will get better as the story goes on. Speaking of the story can anyone guess what might have happened to our lovely pairing? :3? Well that will be explained in chapter two. Reviews are always welcomed and appreciated! (In fact they are treats and make me want to update that much quicker.)
I can't wait to see you guys in chapter 2! (BTW it's a sing-song chapter.)
{Sneak Peek of Chapter 2}
She couldn't help herself. The words just came out as if she had no control. A hand flew to her mouth, as she tried to keep the song from leaving her mouth. Kevin simply stared at her in confusion; numerous questions filled his mind, but were quickly dismissed at the sight of Dee struggling to control the way her words were formed.
"Oh, I can't take another heartache,
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wits' end!
You say you're love is bona fide,
But that don't coincide with the things that you do
And when I ask you to be nice, you say"
Though the words were muffled by her hand Kevin was able to make them out all the same.
"Dee—" She cut him off, placing the hand that covered her mouth over his. Music that seemed to come from nowhere filled the empty hall as Dee once again began singing.
" You've gotta be
Cruel to be kind in the right measure,
Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign,
Cruel to be kind means that I love you,
Baby, you've gotta be cruel to be kind.
Well I do my best to understand dear,
But you still mystify, and I want to know why.
I pick myself up off the ground
To have you knock me back down again and again!
And when I ask you to explain, you say
You've gotta be
Cruel to be kind…"
