Elaina Charmer had recently moved to Peach Creek in late June; the summer breeze was beginning to blow in the cul-de-sac as the young thirteen-year-old began to explore her new neighborhood. She softly hummed a tune to herself as she walked down the street remembering her old home in the city but taking in the suburbs of Peach Creek at the same time.
Across the fence, a scam had just gone wrong; "I told you this wouldn't work, Sockhead." Eddy yelled pulling on Edd's red t-shirt "For your information Eddy, it was your idea to trap everyone in a cage until they gave you money for your own wants. Not to mention scaring them out of their minds with your completely idiotic displays of terror." Edd replied with a hint of sass adjusting his beanie, and dusting himself off "It seems that someone's got rain in their boots, with a pinch of gravy." Ed said without thinking "We need to think up a better plan." Eddy stated "But how?" he then turned his gaze to the smartest of the bunch and smiled "Oh Double D," Eddy cooed making Edd irritated "I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no." Double D said crossing his arms and turning away beginning to walk. Ed began to pull on Edd's arm like a rubberband shouting "Don't go Double D, you need to help us pretty please with gravy on top." Double D sighed as his friend pulled him back to Eddy.
As Ellie made her way around, she saw a girl her age and walked towards her "Hi, my name is Ellie what's yours?" the blonde girl smiled and took her hand "My name's Nazz, are you new here?" she asked "Yes, I am and trying to make new friends." Ellie said shyly fixing her ponytail of black hair "How about I show you around," Nazz suggested, "So where do you live?" "I live in the house right there." Ellie pointed to the large, house near the center of the cul-de-sac. "Cool," Nazz smiled "I live in the house next door." she said pointing to the house on the left; that's when the sound of brakes began to creak, a boy in a red baseball cap had just stopped in front of Nazz and Ellie "Hey Nazz," he said getting off "who's this?" Ellie blushed, and Nazz giggled "Kevin, this is Ellie. Ellie, this is Kevin." "Hi," Ellie said quietly while her cheeks turned red "It's very nice to meet you, Ellie, I'm sure you'll like it here." Kevin said as he winked at her, Nazz saw Ellie's reaction and giggled "Aww Kevin, you're making her blush." Ellie backed up slowly, and walked away from them both and continued towards the fence.
"It's nearly finished, Ed." Eddy said with a grin "Once they see this contraption, it will surely give me- oh I mean us some moolah." Edd just groaned and rolled his eyes "Eddy, I'm pretty sure this is bound to work." he said with a weak smile "Excellent," Eddy said, "Leave it all to me boys." Ed soon spotted someone in the distance and yelled: "Eddy, hide a monster has arrived." Eddy punched Ed in the head and wondered what Ed was talking about; then, he saw her: A girl with long, black hair tied up in a ponytail; her eyes were blue as the ocean, and her skin was fair leaving the Eds speechless. "I believe that we have a new customer" Eddy cheered "Come on, get ready." Ed listened, but Double D was in a haze; "this girl looks familiar," he thought "HEY SOCKHEAD," Eddy yelled, "ARE YOU HOME?!" Edd, was frightened by that but kept a straight face "You know, I hate when you do that Eddy." he said, "You almost hurt my eardrums." "Eardrums," Ed started "I always wanted to play that instrument." Ellie found the stand that the Eds were at and decided to take a closer look, "Umm excuse me," She said, "I was just wondering what you're doing." Eddy beamed with pride and started "Well, as you can see, I am here to take a peek into your mind and find your goal in life. For just a quarter." Ellie thought about it and asked "Well I love science, it's pretty much everywhere once you know more every day and it makes you want to know more. Do you know how?" Eddy was confused and flustered, but Double D was intrigued by what she liked; Ellie then stated "I just came here to meet new friends, and-" "Just put in the quarter." Eddy commanded "Now!" Ellie was about to speak when she dropped a few objects on the ground; Edd ran over to help pick up her fallen items, they had cleaned up most of it until their hands met on a clipboard leading them both to look up at one another.
"Do I know you?" they both thought still remaining silent and confused "Elaina?" he said curiously "Eddward?" Ellie said in shock. They both smiled at each other as if to say "Yes, it's me." and hugged each other happily and giggled "I thought I'd never see you again." Ellie smiled "Me too." Edd replied happy to be reunited with his childhood friend. Eddy cleared his throat and glared "Sockhead, who's your friend?" he said impatiently Edd stood up, and brought Ellie closer to his friends "Ed, Eddy, this is Ellie, she's my friend from the city we have known each other for many years and have a lot in common with one another." he said "Nice to meet you Ellie, we're going to have so much fun together." Ed said excitedly shaking her hand hardly "Lumpy, calm down." Eddy said pulling Ed off her hand "You trying to kill her?" Ed just laughed "Goodness, he sure has a strong grip." Ellie said trying to get control in her arm "So, Double D, is there anything else we should know about her?" Eddy asked "Double D?" Ellie questioned looking at Edd in confusion "It's a nickname." he whispered into her ear making her figure it out "Oh, I get it, I like that nickname, Double D." she said trying it out making Edd giggle "And, Eddy, my answer to your demand is no." Ellie said with a smile which made her proud "Would you like me to show you around, Laina?" Edd asked with a smile "Of course, Eddward, I would love it." she said taking his hand and walking with him out the alleyway. "Is it just me, or am I seeing double." Eddy said scratching his head "The only thing I see double, is Double D, Eddy." Ed grinned "He's the only Double D you have." he said, patting Eddy's back.
