"Double Dee! Hurry it up already!"

Eddy was leading his friends to this haunted place.

"Eddy, why do we have to stay here," Double dee complained.

"Just follow my lead, boys."

Ed was staring at his fingers, attempting to count.

"Ummm... 8, 100, 50, and 30! I've got 30 fingers, double dee!"

"No, Ed. It goes, One, two, three, four, five! Now you try."

Ed looked nervous.

"Ummm... one." He looked at Double dee.

"Keep going, Ed," he said.

"two?" Double dee nodded.

"ten?"

Double dee slapped himself on the forehead.

"C'mon, guys! We're gonna miss out!"

"On what?"

"Buttered toast!"

"On Boy's night. It's when boys in any cauldasac stay at the most haunted place in town. It proves that they're guys, and not sissies."

Double dee shook his head.

"Well in that case, I'm a sissy," he remarked.

However, Eddy would not be outdone. He dragged Double dee to the house. The house was crooked with broken windows and shattered windowpanes. It was always raining there and the sun never shone.

"You knock, Ed,"

Eddy said as he pushed Ed foward. Ed peered inside. It was clean and looked like it had been recently used. In fact, there were still items there. Very few, though. Double dee unloaded the provisions from their sacs. Double dee took out a dusting pan from his bag along with a broom and started sweeping.

Well, nothing unusual happened until later that night, right after they had started a fire, the door opened. A girl walked in. She was taller than Ed even - But only by a little bit.

"Ummm... excuse us ma'am, but you see, we're staying here for the night. And I would like to ask for you're age please."

The girl answered as she laid down her dagger, reflecting in the light of the fire. She had Brown hair, blue eyes, and was slender. Her hair was up in a low ponytail, tied back with something. She answered in a kind of dangerous way.

"My name is 0016. Don't ask. I come from Japan. I left my family behind in the war of Izikama. I swore by my swords that I would return and avenge their deaths."

As 0016 told her story, Ed, Double Dee, and Eddy stared at her and listened with their ears wide open.

"Wow. I can't believe what you went through," Double Dee said.

"That's ok," 0016 replied.

"I've been a wanderer since, picking up every sword and Kung Fu trick in History."

"Will you let us see," Eddy asked.

"This is my reply."

0016 picked up her favorite sword, despite the fact that is was the weakest, the reverse blade sword, and then put the others down. She cleared a small space and asked the eds to back up. When all that was said and done, she took her sword out of her sheath and started to swing it around.

She was very agile. For example, one second she was at the top of the stairs, and the next, she was pointing her swordtip at Eddy. After that and the applause, she started punching like crazy. She knocked the wall in the top room down without hurting herself much. After she did that, she looked embarrased and stopped.

"Whoops. Guess I shouldn't have punched so hard. Oh well."

Eddy and Double Dee were shocked. Ed was staring at the fire, chanting,

"Buttered toast!" 0016 looked at Eddy.

"I answered all of you're questions, now YOU answer MINE." Eddy was stunned.

"Wait," he said. "You never answered my question of how old you are."

"I'm 13. Now answer MY questions. Who are you? What are you doing here? How old are each of you? Where do you live?"

"Ummm... I'm Eddy."

"I'm Edd but you can just call me Double Dee."

"Buttered toast!"

"And that's Ed."

"Now answer the rest of my questions. What are you doing here?"

Eddy answered.

"Boy's night out. Prove that we're boys."

0016 sniggered a little.

"Now, how old are you?"

"Ummm... can we please just say that we're not kids and be on with it?"

"Nope."

Eddy made that little annoying grunt thing as he answered.

"I'm 13."

0016 burst out laughing.

"HAHAHA!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE 13!!!! YOU LOOK LIKE AN 8-YEAR-OLD!"

Eddy looked annoyed.

"That's it! You're gonna pay!"

Eddy launched himself at 0016. She Sidesteped it easily and gracefully as Eddy went hurtling into the wall behind her at mock 5. He hit the wall and rubbed his head in a painful way.

"Eddy, you forgot her-"

"god-like speed, I know."

"Eddy! My goodness! Language!"

"Well, it's true!"

"Forget it."

0016 sat back down in the dark, where she was isolated and looked very dangerous. The questions and answers were forgotten that night... But not forever. That night, Ed took his bed out of his bag.

"Good gracious, Ed! That's why it was so heavy," remarked Double Dee.

Double dee cleared out a corner and took out his sleeping bag. Eddy went next to the fire, making himself at home.

0016 took her belongings and went outside to sleep.

*********

The next morning, while 0016 was still asleep, Eddy went outside and started creeping up silently to her. When he was within her arms reach, he started becoming very cautious.

"Don't even think it, shorty."

"But How'd ya-"

"Smell, Hearing, practice, and a warrior's spirit."

"Oh."

0016 Stood up.

"Well, time for me to head out. I see this place is no longer safe for me."

"Whaddya mean? You can stay with one of us!"

she looked down.

"Only in an emergency."

"Then where are you gonna stay?!"

"I dunno."

"We're gonna help."

0016 looked annoyed. She balled her fist up and shoved it under Eddy's nose. She looked sorta angry. (no, ya think?)

"Look, I can do this on my own."

"But we wanna help, 0016!"

"fine. Whatever."

Double dee went outside to see where Eddy had gone. Ed followed shortly. Eddy passed a note to Double dee when they were passing silently.

"What's the note say?"

"Good gracious, are you physic?"

"nope. Just good at catching stuff like that."

"oh."

"So why'd ya come out here?"

"Ask you something."

"Ask away."

"Why won't you stay with one of us?"

"dunno."

"ok... I think I'll just be going now."

When Double Dee went inside, he looked at Ed. Ed was trying to count his fingers again. Eddy kicked Ed outside. Ed suddenly looked up at 0016, then to Eddy and Double Dee. Then, he started walking to 0016.

"WHAT NOW!?"

"Ummm... Eddy wanted to know. I mean I wanted to know who will you stay with."

"Ask me one more time, and I definitly won't give you an answer."

"ok."

"Well, are we going?"

Eddy and Double Dee came out. 0016 Jumped in front of them.

"Hurry up, guys! You're leading!"

Ed was in the lead this time.

"Come on, guys! I want to go home now!"

A minuite later, Eddy, Ed, and Double Dee were in her dust, panting. Double Dee took out some water and started to drink it. The Eds had been running as fast as they could to keep up with 0016's playful jogging.

"We're never gonna catch her! Do something Ed!"

"ok! one... ten..."

"NOT THAT, ED! SOMETHING TO CATCH UP WITH HER!"

"oh."

Ed started running mock 5 again, with Eddy and Double dee following. Ed stopped when a branch fell on his head. He looked up and he saw rustling in the trees. All of a sudden, 0016 jumped down on Ed's head.

"Awww... C'mon! Can't you go any faster? I was trying to be slow for you guys to keep up! Now where do we go?"

"still straight, 16!"

"ED! WHY'D YOU TELL HER?! NOW SHE'S ONLY GONNA LEAVE US AGAIN!"

"No I'm not!"

0016 took three ropes from the inside of her kimono thing. She tied all three to her waist, then one to Ed, one to Eddy, and one to Double Dee. After that, she took off like a bullet.

"just give me the directions as we go!"

Eddy and Double dee were losing it because they were going so fast. Ed, however, was laughing.

"right!" 0016 turned right.

Within five minuites, 0016 was running through the cauldasac and people were opening the windows to see what was happening.

"STOP! STOP! STOOOOOOOOOP!!!"

0016 came to an arupt halt and cut the ropes with her dagger. Kevin came out of his house. Pretty soon, there was a really big crowd around her.

"woah! How'd ya do that?"

"practice."

"where'd ya meet the dorks?"

"old house."

"you meen the creep house?"

"ya."

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Back up! Get your own!"

"you mean to say that I'm property?!"

0016's eyes started to glow blood red at Eddy's remark. She raised her fist to Eddy's face. Eddy laughed nervously.

"No, no. Of course not."

"Good. So, who will I be staying with?"

"You mean you're gonna stay?"

"Duh! I mean, is there anywhere else?"

"not really."

"then who?"

0016 looked around at all the kids. She finally decided to check out all the houses before deciding. First, she went to Eddy's. She checked out the extra space and everything. She saw how Eddy's was more of a party room.

The next house she went to was Double Dee's house. She looked around. She saw how neat everything was. And so on went the rest of the hour, checking out houses and seeing how everything was. She finally made her announcement.

"Him." She pointed at Double Dee.

"Check it out! The girl's staying at Double dork's house!"

"I'm 0016. Not the girl."

"sorry, 16."
