Hi darling readers,
what is standing in front of you is my first ever Ed Edd n Eddy story, which also appears to be my first work on a cartoon. However this show was a great part of my childhood, so I've decided to write my own story about it. I haven't yet came across on a story from this type here in the achieve (There surely are at least several, but I haven't yet found them) so with that being said I wish you having a pleasant time reading the first chapter of Ed Edd n Eddy: What we had was luck, what you have is a gift from God.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Ed Edd n Eddy. However I do own the storylines woven in this fiction.

1.

Eddy helped his son with his luggage, as he joined him on his way to his mom's house. It was a peaceful September afternoon at Peach Creek and the young dad had to leave his kid at his mom's place for his weekly sleepover weekend.
"Ok Benny, be good. See you on Monday."- Eddy patted his son's shoulder, and was just about to leave, when a familiar voice called him.
"Eddy?"-he turned around and saw a young woman with blond hair in an up-do smiling at him. "Won't stay for a cup of tea?"
"Thanks Nazz, but I have to go. I promised to take care of Ben while Ed's out of town."-Eddy ran a hand through his dark hair.
Actually he wasn't being honest. Yes indeed, he had told Ed, he'd take care of his son, but Double D had already gone to take him to his house, so practically he could stay and chat with his son's mother. But things were too complicated for that.
"Okay then."- Nazz continued her attempt to start a conservation. "You can drop by at any time if you'd like to see Benny, or something. I mean since out houses are so close to each other."
" Yeah, thanks Nazz."- Eddy said again.
There was an awkward silence.
"Ok Benny, Kyle and Stacey are waiting for you in the back yard. There's food in the stove, so just tell me if you're hungry, okay sweetie?"
" Sure mom."-the young boy said walking inside. "Bye dad!"-he yelled.
"Bye Benny."- Eddy replied.
It was hard to tell like who Benny looked like more. He surely was a perfect combination of his parents' looks and personalities, which hadn't change that much over the years. He was taking after his dad's money obsession, but at the same time he had the gift to easily charm people like his mom. Eddy liked joking that with those traits he could scam his peers perfectly. And Benny did plan scams, although not like his father in the past. His ideas were far more relevant and easily excepted from the other kids in the Cul-de-Sac. Together with his best friends Benn and Ben, who happened to be his father's best friends' children they were the next legendary trio of Peach Creek.
"See you Eddy."-Nazz smiled softly.
"Yeah."-was all Eddy could say, before walking away,
He felt stupid. He should have stack around for a little longer. The only reason he decided to leave was his fear. He feared that he'd say something that would ruin his friendship with Nazz and Kevin who were now married. It was just too risky for him. He had chosen to leave things like they were. In the name of good sake.
"Why hello Eddy."-Double D greeted him as he entered his house.
"Hey Sockhead."-Eddy replied quietly.
"Is everything alright?"-Edd asked him a bit worried.
"Agh I'm fine."-the other man assured him pulling his suit's sleeves. "Where's Ben anyway?"
"I'm here uncle Eddy!"-a tall twelve years old boy ran around him laughing. He wore a stripped white and green T-shirt, a red sweatshirt and dark jeans. He had short reddish hair and olive skin. His dark eyes shinned playfully as he talked. "I'm ready for a party uncle Eddy."-he announced with a grin.
"Oh Ben."-Double D exclaimed. "You look just like your father. I'm so proud of you two."
Ben looked at him not understanding what he had said, but smiled anyway.
"Hi Ben."- a boy his age walked down the stairs. He wore a red T-shirt with white baggy short pants and red socks to match. On is head he wore a black cap.
"Hi ya Double N."-Ben greeted him.
"Dad can we please go out and play now?"-the cap headed boy asked politely.
"Of course Bennjamin, but don't forget to be calm and play safe and quiet games please."-Double D smiled at his son.
"Absolutely father. I assure you that everything will be as calm, as the White Sea."
"Thank you in advance Bennjamin, you can go now."
" Here you go boys."-Eddy gave Benn a five dollar bill. "Go to the candy store and buy yourself jawbreakers."-he suggested.
The boys laughed satisfied and ran out of the house with the money.
"Have fun!"-Eddy yelled after them.
"Eddy they shouldn't eat jawbreakers before dinner!"- Double D scolded his friend.
"For cryin' out loud Sockhead, give them a break. Your being annoying as hell with your stupid good attitude. When we were their age, nobody controlled us like you do now, and we were good. We made it to thirty, now didn't we?"
Double D made an attempt to say something, but was interrupted by the kitchen timer.
"Oh dear."-he cried storming in. "The lasagna!"
"You're making lasagna?"- Eddy followed the delicious smell to the kitchen.
"This lasagna is for the boys Eddy."- Edd explained. "You know Ben's appetite, I'll be glad if this eight portions recipe is enough for both of the kids,"
"And what are we eating?"-Eddy exclaimed.
"Steamed vegetables Eddy. Did you know how much fibers there are in them. Isn't that intriguing?"
Eddy frowned.
"No."
Double D narrowed his eyelids.
"Well I do hope you didn't expect a gala diner, after all the work I had this week! Seven heart surgeries for five days! I'm exhausted, that was the best I could do."
"You could've made two trays of lasagna you know…"
"Perhaps you could've helped instead of just giving advice, Eddy?"-Double D crossed his arms at him.
"Hey, hey, hey!"-Eddy put his hands up deafeningly. "I was busy too you know. If I want to be a CEO anytime soon, I have to jump over three more people. They are my rivals in work you know. I've spent months trying to surpass them. Besides being a lonely father is very tiring."
" Eddy Nazz practically leaves across the street. You could always use her help."-Double D reminded him serving the steamed vegetables.
"Ah, you know what I mean! It's not just that."-Eddy said loudly, opening the fridge. "Do you have beer or something?"
"Yes Eddy the third display, behind the bean cans."-Edd replied.
"Geez did you like sort your stupid fridge by letters?"- Eddy exclaimed placing two bottles on the table.
"Yes Eddy, alphabetic orders are very helpful when used in households. Would you like soya sauce on your vegetables?"
" Sure. Maybe that'll make them tastier."-Eddy replied sitting on one of the chairs. "Do you have any idea where Ed is?"
"In Lemon Brooke I believe."- Double D answered sitting in front of Eddy.
"What the heck is he doing in Lemon Brooke?"
"He said he had work to do."-the other man explained opening the bottles with his multifunctional Switzer knife." He wouldn't specify."
" Ah, like you asked for any details."-Eddy waved his hand.
"I did asked him politely Eddy."-Double D objected a bit irritated.
"So he didn't understand you."- Eddy laughed. "You know how Monobrow is Double Dee. You need to be more direct when talking to him."
"That's very rude of you Edward."-Edd exclaimed frustrated. "I believe that Ed really increased his intellect over the years!"
"Alright, alright!"- Eddy laughed. "I was just curious why he had to travel during the weekend that's all. I thought that… you know…he may have a date with someone…"
"Please Eddy, that girl was a mess! You can't seriously think that Ed would see her again, I mean…"
"Who told you I meant Anny, or whatever her name was…"-Eddy exclaimed.
"It was Amy."-Edd corrected him calmly.
"Who cares?! I mean Ed deserves a girl now doesn't he?"
" Of course Eddy, everyone deserves to find true love."
"Or maybe he is having fun, if you know what I mean."-Eddy whispered slyly. "Maybe that's way he was so eager to leave for the weekend."
"I think that he'd tell us if he had a relationship with someone Eddy."- Double D objected.
Eddy made an irritated face.
"It doesn't have to be something serious Sockhead. He's a young man after all. He can have fun. How about we ask him when he comes back. We'll see what he'll answer.
"Okay."-Edd agreed. "Although I believe that we should not invade one's privacy, I agree."
"Good."-Eddy grinned gladly. "You'll see that I'm right."
Suddenly their conversation was interrupted by the doorbell.
"I wonder who that could be."-Double D commented, as he went to answer the door. To his surprise on the threshold stood a young woman with light brown hair and green eyes. Awfully familiar eyes.
"Where's my son?"-she said in a raspy voice. "I want to see my son."
Double D couldn't do anything but gasp.
"Oh dear."-he muttered quietly.
