Double Dee sat in his car as his two best were arguing about the radio station. Big Ed wanted to hear rock, while Eddy wanted to listen to his cassettes. He couldn't help but laugh. Then again, five hours crammed into a small car, they needed to vent out their frustration. But that wasn't the reason for his enjoyment. He and his best friends were going to the same college, and he was glad that they weren't getting split up. Before summer had started, Edd had just gotten a letter from the school saying that he had been accepted. On his way to tell his friends, he had found out that they too had been accepted. He had hoped this would happen. What was even more of a shock was when he found out that his beloved Marie, the girl who used to torment him, had not only been accepted into the same school, but so did her sisters. May, the youngest, got in on an athletic scholarship. While Lee, the oldest, got in with an academic scholarship. He was surprised by the fact that all of them would still be in the same school. So not only would he and his friends be together, but their beautiful girlfriends as well. "So, Sockhead!" Eddy said, snapping him out of his train of thought. "What do you think?"

"I was thinking we could listen to something that we all can enjoy." Double Dee replied.

"I'm not talking about that." Eddy continued. "I'm talking about the Ed's and the Lonergans going to the same college together. What are the chances?"

"Astronomical, Eddy!" Edd said.

"That's right, Double Dee!" Eddy said. "Besides who would have thought that the Ed's and the Kankers would end up together."

"Not me Eddy," Ed said in his usual dopey voice. Making Double Dee give off a little laugh.

"I quite agree," he replied. "No one would have guessed this would have happened. But," Edd gave a sigh as he thought of Marie, "love is strange that way."

"Yeah," both Ed and Eddy said with the similar sigh. After a moment of silence, Eddy began rummaging around in Edd's glove compartment.

"Um," Double Dee started to get nervous, "Eddy? What are you doing?"

"Looking for your iPod." Eddy explained. "We need some music." It was at that moment that Eddy noticed a small black box. "What the hell is this?"

"PUT IT BACK NOW!" Edd yelled at Eddy. Eddy in just stared at him in shock.

"Geeze, Double Dee." Eddy said. "What the hell is wrong with me finding this box? It's like the time we took your hat."

"Double Dee," Ed said in a small voice. "What's wrong?" With a sigh, Edd apologized.

"Forgive me," he said, "I wanted it to be a surprise. If you would please open it, Eddy, you will understand." As Eddy opened the box, he had found a small golden ring with a rather large diamond set into it.

"Double Dee." Eddy was shocked. Then a sly grin crept across his face. "You shouldn't have!" He played as he mockingly wrapped his arms around him. The three friends shared a brief laugh at Eddy's joke. "But seriously, Double Dee. What so bad about this ring?" With a heavy sigh, Double Dee took the ring from Eddy, whilst keeping one hand on the wheel, and told them his plans.

"I am planning on proposing to Marie." They looked at him in stunned silence.

"Seriously?" Eddy looked at his best friend.

"Wow, Double Dee." Ed said, understanding what was going on. "You really love Marie, don't ya?"

Edd simply smiled into his rear-view mirror towards his large friend. "Yes, Ed, I love her." Double Dee replied. "She is my angel."

Meanwhile, in another car a few hours behind the Ed's, the Lonergan sisters were enjoying their own little conversation. "Who would have thought that we Kankers would be going to college?" Lee said to her sisters. "I mean, not only did we get our boys, but we were accepted into the same school as them. What are the chances?"

"No one could have seen that coming." May said as she smiled, thinking of her Big Ed. "What about you, Marie? Did you think you and Double Dee would end up together?" Marie looked up from her sketchpad. She had been currently drawing a portrait of her and Double Dee together, both staring straight ahead, with her in his arms.

"Nope," she replied with a smile. "But I'm glad it did happen. Otherwise, I would still be that blue-haired, emo-punk that we all knew and loved." As she said this, all three girls began to laugh. Just then, May grabbed Marie's sketchpad and began flipping through the pages. "Hey," she said, "give that back." Just then, May turned to the page that Marie wanted to keep a secret, to which she turned red. Looking down, she handed the book back to her sister.

"Wow, Marie," she said, still slightly embarrassed by what she saw. "Is that what I think it is?" Marie's face turned a bright red.

"What is it?" Lee asked. Glancing towards Marie, she took a good look at the picture. It looked like the photo of when their dad proposed to their mom. The only difference was that instead of it being Rod and a pregnant Tabby, it was Marie and Double Dee. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"It's just something I want to happen, okay?" Marie replied as her cheeks began to turn a bright crimson. "Anyway," Marie desperately wanting to change the subject, "have the guys told you about the house we're staying in?"

"According to what your boyfriend told me," Lee explained, "we'll be staying in a co-ed building with four other kids. Don't know who they are," Lee shrugged, "but at least we'll be staying with the Ed's."

"How did they manage that?" May asked.

"Dad did that." Lee replied. "Apparently, Dad and the head of Campus Housing went to high school together. The guy owed him a favor, and agreed to let us all stay together."

"Well," Marie said, "I heard that one of the guy's we're staying with is really responsible, even though he the same age as May here." The girls all laughed. "Anyway," Marie smiled, "do you think the guy will mind if we share the rooms our Ed's will be in?"

"I'd like to see the guy try and stop us." Lee said with a smirk. "If anything, my little man and I need our quality time together." Lee smirked at her pet name for her boyfriend. As they continued down the highway, they began to talk about what classes they were gonna take. Preparing themselves for the bright future that had been laid out before them.
