A/N: Hello there and welcome to a new story. This was on my mind for a while after watching several magical shows and I just can't help but write. I'm setting aside The Icon of Kiyosumi for a short while to work on this.
Disclaimer: I don't own Ed, Edd n Eddy.
Its been days ever since the destruction of the cul-de-sac, getting hunted by the kids, meeting an older brother and finally being accepted by everyone. Ed, Edd or Double D and Eddy has nothing more to ask more as the friendship they long awaited was finally given to them.
All is good except for one thing.
The moment they came home, the trio were scolded by their parents for the trouble they made and as well running away without permission. The three were all guilty and ashamed and were ready to accept their punishment until Rolf and the rest of the kids defended them.
Touch by everyone's kindness, the Eds specifically Eddy promised that he will never repeat any of his misdeeds again and while they escape punishment of being grounded or being sent to military school, the parents decided to punish them by fixing the mess they made which all comply. But they are not alone on this one, as every kid joins them in to helping restore the cul-de-sac the way it use to, with the Eds happy about that.
The next day, it was crisp morning and inside Double D's home, we see the brainiac in his room fixing his bed before grabbing some materials he needed for his punishment and he quickly ran out of his room to living room greeting his parents whom nodded at him. Then he went straight outside and was greeted by Ed, Eddy and rest of the kids, all holding materials from brooms, paint brush to rakes.
He smiled at everyone, "Well everyone, it's time to do this.'' he said.
"Yeah! The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can hang all out together!'' Eddy replied as everyone cheered as if they were about to fight a mob.
And everyone began to do work.
(Play This is my Town - Cartoon Boyfriend)
This is my town, Watch you're step if you come around
We see Edd, Nazz whom still wearing a bandanna and Jimmy uncomfortably picking up scraps of trash from the streets before stuffing it in bags, Rolf meanwhile was raking some leaves and saw the three with a disgust look on their faces as they continue to pick trash, the farm boy just scratches his head.
I don't think i know you, Well maybe it's time to show you
Ed, Eddy and Kevin were fixing the roof of Nazz' home. Eddy is seen hammering while Kevin paints, Ed meanwhile is carrying a box of materials before he missed his step and fell on the ground, Eddy and Kevin rush to see if the big lug is okay only to find him laughing below like nothing happened to him.
This is my home, I'll be standing here alone
Both Rolf and Double D are seen carrying a piece of lumber with the former seems fine and the latter seems having trouble carrying but the two paused for a minute when they saw Sarah lifting a pile of woods all on her own, the boy's jaw literally drop from witnessing that.
And if you think you're ready well, Come in and ring the bell
Back in the roof, in one end Kevin and Eddy are discussing what to do next when Ed in another end hammered the floor making the other end bounce up sending Kevin & Eddy flying but the two quickly fell back down from were they were before which cause the other end to bounce and send Ed flying up before falling to the ground.
Hello mister Hill, Finally you got your hit
Rolf and Double D were fixing the lane's fence while behind them was Jimmy whom is pulling a weed, the boy tried to pull the weed hard until it comes off sending him backwards hitting the newly fixed fence making it collapses to the ground, Rolf & Double D glared at Jimmy whom only smiled sheepishly.
Coming from the nowheres, Lying across the clovers
Kevin and Eddy were checking the edges when they saw Ed's helmet tied on his butt, the tow chastise him that it's not safe and tried to pry it off but Ed was stubborn to let it go when they got it off there was a collision which results of the three falling to the ground.
Hello lady slick, Did you pull another trick
Nazz and Jimmy were mowing the lawn while Sarah was tending the flowers suddenly a gopher pops out from the ground startling her then she grab a piece of wood and tried to bash the gopher but only hits the flowers, Sarah stopped and facepalm when she notice that she ruined the flower bed as gopher manage to escape.
Beautiful makeover, make the perfect couple
Kevin and Eddy were happily painting the roof before turning their heads to Ed whom is tied in the chimney while also painting using his feet preventing him from falling again.
Do you know things don't come easy so
Sarah kept on chasing the gopher and she accidentally hits Nazz causing the party lover to fall in a man hole with Double D and Rolf scampered to help her.
This is my town, Watch your step if you come around
Eddy is seen hammering Kevin's window while the boy himself was sawing a wood, Ed walks by between them carrying a long 2x2 on his shoulders when suddenly Sarah called him as he turns to her, he did not noticed that ends of the wood he was carrying hits the heads of Eddy and Kevin, knocking them out silly.
I don't think I know you, Well maybe its time to show you
Double D was placing another bag of trash in a corner of the street when he noticed that one bag was moving. Curious, he opens the bag and to his horror he saw Marie Kanker inside blowing him a kiss, the brainiac quickly closed the bag, tied it tightly before throwing the bag into the river, not caring how gruesome it is.
This is my home, I'll be standing here alone
Rolf and Kevin was setting up the lamp post with Rolf holding the post while Kevin fix its roots meanwhile Ed and Sarah are chasing the gopher and Ed almost got it when it suddenly leap and hide in Rolf's pants startling the farm boy and accidentally letting go of the post, Kevin tried to stop it from falling but it crashes down. Kevin glared at the siblings whom only smiled while Rolf runs around shaking his pants.
And if you think you're ready well, Come on in and ring the bell
Everyone are seen all together smiling at the work they just finished.
(End of song)
"Look at that...like it was never messed up!'' Eddy said in amazement.
"I believe this fruit fall of our combine efforts.'' Double D explained.
"Rolf agrees, all of us did a marvelous job.'' Rolf followed.
"I'll say...but all this work makes me hungry.'' Kevin said while rubbing his belly.
"Well then, let us all get some snack and let us meet up back at Kevin's house.'' Nazz suggested.
"That's a good idea! Ed, Jimmy let's go make some sandwich.'' Sarah called out.
"Okie-dokie sister!'' Ed replied with a mock salute with Jimmy followed.
"I'll whip you guys with my special omelets, I can cook those in a jiffy!'' Eddy offered.
"Rolf and I will buy some drinks.'' Nazz said with Rolf nodding to her.
"I'll wait back in my house and prepare you guys some jawbreakers.'' Kevin said which everyone cheered.
"Well then, I'll have you all do that while I put away all the materials at everyone's shed." Double said.
"Okay sockhead, let's meet up later.'' Eddy nodded as everyone went separate ways.
As everyone did their chores, Double D goes from everyone's backyard putting away the materials they used in each shed. And lastly, Double D is seen in his backyard closing his shed.
He wipes the sweat on his forehead before nodding.
"Well...that's that. I believe the thing I need to do is go to Kevin's house and wait for everyone.'' Double D said as he began to walk but he trip on to something causing him to dive on the lawn, "Oof! Still clumsy...am I...'' he grumbled.
He slowly stood up from the ground and dusted himself before turning around to see what made him trip.
To his surprise, he saw a shining object sticking up from the dirt. Curious, the brainiac decided to pull it from the ground and despite his weak physique he managed to pull it out, of course, with him falling on his rear.
After he recovered from the fall he looks at the object, "What is this strange artifact?'' he asked to himself as he inspects the strange object, The object was long as his forearm, its structure is made from pure titanium and on the end was a cylinder shape stub with a crystal in the middle slightly glowing green.
"Fascinating!'' he said before he ran inside his home to his room before placing the object on the table and began to study it. He look through books looking for something similar to the one he found.
Then he came to a conclusion, "It's a scepter!'' he said, "But for what purpose does this scepter can do?'' he asked himself again before thinking deep however his thoughts were cut when he heard someone calling for him.
"HEY SOCKHEAD! EVERYBODY'S AT KEV'S HOUSE WAITING AND WERE THE ONLY ONES NOT THERE YET!'' Eddy called out.
Snapping from his thoughts Double D quickly placed the scepter on the top of his bookshelf before running outside his room, "Coming Eddy!'' he replied back.
The scene changes at Kevin's home, as we see everyone gathered in the living room enjoying their snacks while chatting.
"I gotta admit Eddy, this omelets are tasty.'' Kevin complimented while taking another bite.
"Thanks!" Eddy replied.
"So...what are you gonna do about your hair, Nazz?'' Jimmy asked the bandanna wearing girl.
"I guess I'll just wait until it grows back.'' Nazz sadly replied.
"Again...we apologized for what we did.'' Double D apologized with the others Eds following suit.
"Nah...it's cool.'' Nazz waves it off with a smile, reassuring the boys.
"Rolf can help Go-go Nazz girl's hair dillema.'' Rolf revealed.
"Really?'' Eddy asked.
"Yes! You see my family uses a shampoo that makes hair grow faster than a rabbit, Rolf can lend you some.'' he offered with the blond smiling.
"Really!? Can I?'' she asked giddily.
"Yes! Just come to Rolf's humble abode later and your hair is back to normal.'' he replied.
"Oh gosh! Thanks Rolf!.''
As everyone kept eating and chatting something came in Eddy's mind.
"Hey guys since I stopped doing scams I need another way to earn money.'' Eddy said earning him looks from everyone.
"And what for you needed the money?'' Double D asked raising an eyebrow.
"I wanna buy a guitar!'' he answered.
"A guitar? For what for?'' Nazz asked.
"Oh! I know he wants to buy a guitar so he can become a wandering minstrel that goes from different towns to perform while battling the music hating ninjas!'' Ed said with glee while everyone stares at him weird.
"You read that from a comics do ya?'' Sarah asked.
"Yep!''
"Figures.'' she muttered.
"Setting aside Ed's comment, care to share why you wanna buy a guitar, Eddy?'' Double D asked the short boy.
"Well...all my life the only thing I'm good at is scamming.'' Eddy began to elaborate with everyone paying a close attention to him then he continued, "But after what happen days ago I need to find a new purpose in life, I thought hard and it finally came to me that I should focus myself in music after hearing a song from a radio.'' he said.
"Music? That's wonderful Eddy!'' the sock wearing boy smiled at his friend.
"Yeah it it but I need to learn first so that's why I need a guitar.'' Eddy said.
"Could you just have your dad buy you one!?'' Jimmy suggested.
"Nah...I cause too much money problem on my parents from the past years so that's why I need to learn to earn money in the most legal way.'' Eddy explained.
"May Rolf suggest something?'' Rolf asked as Eddy turns his attention to him, "If you are looking for way to earn of this country's currency Rolf suggest you work at Rolf's farm and earn 2 dollars a week, its a small pay but it's worth it, yes.''
"It is small but if it means me learning to work hard then I'll take it!'' Eddy agreed.
"I'll help too Rolf!'' Ed volunteered which earn a smile from the farmer.
"You are welcome to join.'' he replied.
"You'll joins us too huh Double D?'' Ed asked the brainiac whom looks nervous.
"Well...I appreciate the offer but...I don't think I can handle it...'' he said sheepishly.
"Double D, no offense but I think you really need to have a workout!'' Eddy claimed, "And working in Rolf's farm may help you improve your physique.'' he finished with everyone agreeing with him.
While shock at Eddy's words, Double D thought about it and realize he was right plus he is getting frustrated at his weak body so it was just right to do what Eddy said. He look at Eddy and smiled, "You're right Eddy, I needed it.'' he replied.
"Sweet! So when do we start Rolf?'' Eddy asked.
"You can start tomorrow.'' the blue-haired boy replied.
"Deal!'' Eddy agreed while shaking hands with Rolf.
The get-together continue on until the sky finally turn dark and with that everyone decided to call it a day and went home...well almost everyone...as we see Eddy and Double D strolling in the newly fixed lane while looking at the stars.
The two were silent at first but Double D finally spoke.
"You know Eddy, I can't help but be proud of you.'' he smiled.
Eddy chuckled, "You sound just like my mom.'' he joked with Double D giggling, "But thanks.'' he smiled before he spoke again, "You know aside from getting a new hobby I thinks its about time I get serious in school.'' he said.
"Oh...but you always hated school, why is that?''
Eddy look above the stars shining in the dark sky, "I wanna be a better person, Double D, a person that people can trust and rely on and a person that can be a role model to kids.'' he said before turning to Double D, "But I can't do that alone, will you help this runt become a better man?'' he asked.
"Of course Eddy.'' he replied before snickering. "Though I can't believe you called yourself a runt.''
Eddy chuckled back, "Well I am small.''
The two burst into laughter so loud that everyone hear it but decided to shrug it off. The two boys stopped laughing before turning their heads upwards while staring at the stars.
Late that evening at Double D's home, we see the sock-wearing boy on his desk inspecting once again the scepter he found, he tried to dismantle it but it proven futile and that puzzles him but what got him interested the most was the translucent crystal in the middle that kept on glowing with green aura.
"Oh dear...I still have no clue of what this thing can do.'' he muttered.
He then brought out a book about ancient artifacts and he began to search. After looking at several pages he found something that shocks him.
I t was a picture of a young man with a face almost identical to him only wearing a wizard's hat and has red-piercing eyes, the young man is wearing a black robe with a big crescent necklace dangling on his chest and he was holding the same scepter Double D found.
The brainiac shook his head from shock and began reading.
"In early 1800's, Araya a young man born from a wealthy household was known for by helping others by using magic from healing people to producing food from dirt and was soon being worship by many people and began calling him a God.'' Double D paused from reading, magic? While he found it ridiculous he push the thoughts aside and continued reading, "However as years gone by the young man began to change, he became arrogant and refuses to help other people anymore, he even began to threaten others to do his biding and as this continues, he turned to worst as he murdered the current ruler of his country using his magic and began to reign terror by bringing out strange creatures that attacks it's citizens.'' the brainiac shivered from what he read before reading again, "But his reign terror was put in a quick end when seven brave warriors arrived and slayed him, the leader of the group took the scepter and throws in a deep lake where no one can find it.'' he finished reading.
Double D stayed quiet while thinking if what he read was fiction or not but seeing it was written in a history book about ancients, he began to doubt that. He was also puzzled that if the scepter was thrown in a deep lake why it's in his backyard but he quickly dismissed it thinking the scepter was just a replica.
He sighed and decided to call it a night, he place the scepter on the top of his bookshelf before exiting his room to go to the bathroom to brush. He later return and changes to his pajamas, then he turns-off the lights before crawling on his bed to sleep.
As the night goes, Double D was fast asleep that he is oblivious to the phenomenon happening on the top bookshelf, inside the crystal of the scepter, a black miasma began to form into some sort of face...laughing.
A/N: So what do you guys think? While adding magic in EENE is not that common, it's a lot better than reading too much Kev/Edd fics...uhh...
You guys also notice that Eddy is completely an OOC while I love the original Eddy, I like to write Eddy in a much better persona but his snarky remarks will remain. Eddy's character will play a big role in this fic, so watch out for that.
Next chapter, Double D will finally learn how to use magic.
Thanks for reading and tune in next time.
