Day 0: Moving Day 9:32 pm
Saying I was nervous about going back to the cul-de-sac is an understatement; I mean come on it's been 4 years since I moved. I don't think I've changed, except getting rid of my braids and growing bangs… oh and not just wearing my typical beanie. The thing I'm mostly worried about is Ed and Eddy; we didn't keep in touch after I moved. Did they even care; honestly, they didn't even come to wish me goodbye…
But here in the city, I actually have friends who have the decency to say goodbye and to want to keep in touch with me.
Parting is such sweet sorrow. Part of me wants to spend senior year at Lemon Brook, the other wants to spend it with the people from my childhood, I'm off to live with Avery and Jennelle, in my old house in the cul-de-sac, seeing since mother and father still own it, and trust me enough, and besides it won't feel any different since they're never home anyways. Perhaps I should talk about my new friends. There's Daniel, Avery, Keon, Kai and Eshe.
I just finished moving all my stuff in the van I should get there by 1ish though it's predicted to raining cat and dogs outside, here's to hoping I make it without any trouble.
Hmm I can't get over the thought of seeing everyone again; I wonder how much they have changed. I'm sure not at all. Well the guests are going to be here soon.
"Oh, Eddward I'm gonna miss you so much," cried Avery, Edd fidgeted them sighed "Avery, uh aren't you coming with me?" Avery gave a frustrated growl, then lifted a hand and placed it on his forehead " oh Eddward," then hit Edd on the shoulder " don't ruin my moment of sadness as my best friend moves away, forever" Avery fell to the floor as if he fainted. Edd just stared at the passed out boy.
The door swung open and in stepped Keon and Jennelle, "we bought food, our last meal, before Edd abandons us." Jennelle called out. Keon slowly bent down to pick up Avery off the floor "Is he awake?"
Keon glanced down and lowered his head to right by Avery's ear, so that only Avery could hear "I have not gotten fat, you, you little shitter" Avery flailed in Keon's arms in an attempt to escape " Well you gotten heavier since the last time I carried you-" Keon started but wasn't able to finish.
"I didn't ask you to that time either"
"You broke your foot"
"It was all your fault"
"No it wasn't it was all Kai's fault he pushed you."
"Wow, you two fight like an old married couple" Daniel said quietly
"Yeah and ruining Edd's goodbye party." Jennelle glared
"Our goodbye party" Avery pointed at Double D then back to himself.
"Are you ever gonna stop being so selfish?"
"Keon don't start up this up again" Edd smiled "ladies and gentlemen, this makes me realize how much I will miss you guys, and Don't you dare forget me or dare replace me, got it."
Keon and Avery looked at each other then burst out laughing leaving everyone else confused.
" So Edd, You excited yet, I mean I understand why you wanna go back But I don't understand why Avery would want to go with you" Daniel threw a questioning look at double d. " what are you implying, that me and Avery… preposterous"
"I was just saying, seeing since Avery and you are really close, and he plays for both teams" Now it was Edd turn to laugh, Daniel feeling uncomfortable ,decided to change the subject, "So where's Eshe?" Double D calmed down some "Eshe coming with me to move in tomorrow, but she'll be here later tonight."
"Yeah about that sorry I can't come, my parent are worried that I will become um," "Gay? Just by hanging around me." "…Yeah I'm stretching it by coming here tonight." Daniel lowered his head in embarrassment, his hair falling in front of his face. Edd just laughed again "it's alright Danny," "No it's not alright, I will barely get to see you again, unless I somehow figure out a way to lie to my parents, without them knowing I'm lying...-" Double D frowned "Listen it's getting late, I have to get going, so I guess this is it"
Daniel raised his head and looked Double D in the eye, and slowly wrapped his arms, or tried to, around Double D waist… to be honest the scene looked awkward, and of course Avery could not stay quiet "Daniel, Back off that's my Bender."
Double D was the only one, besides Jennelle, to understand the meaning. "Avery! Don't say that, I am not your, uhm cough bender!!" Daniel kept looking back and forth between Avery and Edd confused, He began to open his Mouth when Keon asked for him "What's a bender?"
"Come on it's not that hard to figure out, you lot are smart." Jennelle paused for a moment "A bender is the opposite of a thruster, get it now? The same thing as a Catcher…"
Daniel blushed and let go of Edd. "Relax Daniel; I was only kiddin' no need for embarrassment, unless you really want Edd?" "OF COURSE NOT", Daniel roared, then stormed out of the door right as Eshe came in, and managed to push her, over into the bushes. "'Ey watch it Daniel jeeze what's his problem?"
Day 1: Moving In 6:26 am
Finally time to get in the van and head to the cul-de-sac, we're getting there a month before school start, so plenty of time to get settled. It took me about an hour to get Avery and Eshe up, of course Eshe had to do her normal Praise the sun right after she wakes up, for some reason, which I'm going to blame it on Avery, Eliot showed up, I've been trying to avoid him, but no luck, he followed me, so now thanks to Avery he's coming with me to help me unpack… no I am not okay with this at all, He dumped my for that stupid, sl- I mean woman Casey. But I'll deal with it, telling myself Ed and eddy are waiting, well not really I didn't tell them, in fact haven't talk to them in the last, four years?
Avery stop Reading over my shoulder. Yes you are, how else would you know what I'm writing. Hmm? That's what I thought.
Well I have to get going.
"Okay, you, me and Eshe's got the moving van, Double D and Eliot get the Truck."
Jennelle called to Avery,
"What are you doing Jennelle; it's over between them, let it go,"
"But Avery there so cute together, and they both Love to invent things, work with their hands" Jennelle nudged Avery in the ribs and winked, who in turn rolled his eyes, and move to get in the van.
Despite being forced to share a car with his ex, the drive went well, if you would call it that, for the first 10 minutes being dead quiet except the buzzing of the radio, then the car breaking down, and being forced to watch as he fixes the car, thus delaying your way a few hours, then yeah it went well.
By the time Double D and Eliot arrived Avery and Jennelle had finished unloading what was in the van, and had already attracted a few people., Avery was already chatting animatedly with a hippie looking boy.
Double D ruffled his hair, and yawned then took a better look at the guy talking to Avery, the guy was slightly taller then Av, eye-catching, shaved head, wearing all hemp, he was tan, and slightly muscular, not too bad to look at, which was why Avery was talking to him.
Edd was so deep in thought he didn't hear Eshe calling him, so how do you get someone who isn't listening to you to look at you, throw things of course. Eshe started to throw anything she could find, poor snail, after the fourth object, Edd finally turned towards Eshe, fuming. "What do you want woman!?" Eshe simply waltzed over to Edd "I was wondering if you knew him" pointing to Hippie man. Edd glanced back "Seems familiar but the only name that pops up is this …interesting boy named Jonny years back."
Eshe raised an eyebrow then turned towards Hippie man "Hey Jonny!!" She yelled "Eshe don't." Edd pleaded, Avery and Hippie man turned to look at Eshe, Double D leaned over to cover his face with his red bangs. He could hear foot steps coming closer on the concrete and felt a Shadow covering him.
He lifted his head slightly in order to see who. And came face to face with the hippie, crouching down "You look like someone I know." His voice was rough but soft. Double D yelped and step backed. Avery took the opportunity to grab one of Double D's beanies and pushed it on his head. "Now do you get a name, Jonny? Perhaps Double D, hmm."
"Avery" Edd shushed. "Nope, doesn't ring a Bell." Avery huffed and left to talk to the forgotten Eliot.
"Jonny?"
"Yes"
"How do you not remember him, from what I heard he used to hangout with to other guys…named Ed, and Eddy and scam people."
"Oh Ed and Eddy, they were the schemers back in the day, but now the team's extinct, Eddy's now in the clique, and Ed's an angsty sculptor, he's actually really good, he wants to become a special effect artist on movies, pretty cool huh?"
"Awesome," Eshe replied uninterested.
Double d on the other hand began to think, about the past, about eddy, and Ed, and also the first time he discovered he was gay, and his first 'real' crush, Kevin.
As Edd snapped out of his reverie, he found himself all alone except for Avery, in his front yard. Avery was staring at him, "You ok? You need a hug?" "No, I'm going for a walk"
"I'll come with you, I need to check out the neighborhood, see what the bloody hell I'm looking at."
Edd smiled at this "Can we stop somewhere first?"
"Avery, ring the door bell."
"Why do I have to ring it."
"Cause I told you to"
"But you wanted to come here"
"You wanted a tour"
"Fine I'll ring the Door, you bloomer."
Avery walked up to the white door and rang the bell, then stepped back.
They waited a moment, and as double D was about to ring it again, a blonde Arrogant looking boy answered the door. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah you can help us by gettin' rid of that fake accent, hell you sound gayer then me."
"Avery don't be rude" Blonde boy rolled his eyes, Double d spoke up "We're here to see Ed," then snooty boy mocked surprise "Hardly anyone ever comes to see that." "Jimmy who's at the door?" A voice called form behind the door "No one important, Sarah."
"No one important my arse, let us in you twit, were just going to bob right in."
By this time Sarah had come to the door, right behind Jimmy. "ooh their cute, are they here to see me?" Sarah giggled. "We are here to see ed."
Sarah pouted, "he's in the basement, wait how do you know him?"
Edd smiled, showing off his gap "I'm an old friend"
Sarah stopped for a minute, giving Edd a once-over
"Jimmy, come on we have to finish practicing the routine."
Jimmy glared at the two boys then wandered back inside "close the door when your inside." Edd and Avery stepped inside after jimmy and Sarah, who pointed towards the stairs to the basement.
Avery went down first "Damn it's creepy"
Double d followed suit. "Relax it's no big deal"
They reached the bottom of the squeaky stairs and stood outside of the door, flashes of light seeped under the doorway. And sounds of metal on metal were heard.
Double lifted his hand to knock .But Avery was quicker and turned the knob, luckily it was unlocked. Avery pushed open the door, there stood a giant with his back to them, busy working on some project. Avery tapped on his shoulder, the giant(6'7) turned around, scrap metal in hand, and lifted his mask "Sup, damn your taller then I'd thought you'd be." Edd was busy stealing glances around the room, then finally his eyes landing on the Giant, who had turned to look at him.
They stood there staring at each other for a few moments.
"Hello, anyone paying attention to me…"
"… Your rooms cleaner then I remembered, Ed." Edd began but stopped under the stare of Ed, and started to fidget.
Ed took in the appearance, of the returned Edd, slender, Gray Beanie visor, shoulder length hair, some dyed red, 5'6-5'7, black framed glasses, tight red t-shirt, Purple skinny jeans, and Black boots. Still looks as frail as before. Ed thought.
At the same time Edd dealt with the many changes of Ed. Muscled, Orange Mohawk, Black wife beater, Black baggy pants with multiple chains, several tattoos, snake bites (lip piercings), no more unibrow, right eyebrow piercing, and angry expression, seemed to be permanently on his face, oh and the fact of him being so freaking tall.
And Avery stood between them glancing back and forth between them.
"You know Ed's kinda hot, like a bad boy." Double D blushed, and looked away to hide it. "You know you like it Eddward." Ed was still staring at the boy before him.
Finally he spoke "Double D?"
Double D glanced up. Ed walked towards him.
Edd was lifted up into a crushing hug.
"Double D I missed you."
Yea!! I finished whoop. I know I didn't type that much but right now I have to go do my homework, which I saved for Sunday.
Anyway next chapter is going to be finished probably and posted by Wed, or sooner.
In case any of you wanted to know Avery is 5'7, wearing a striped light blue shirt with blue shorts on with Black converse. And a Bowler's hat. XD
