Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep
Double D's eyes opened slightly to the loud, annoying sound radiating in his room.
He moved his noodle arm and slapped the top of his alarm clock, filling the room with silence.
Sighing, he got out of bed and walked groggily towards his bedroom window.
Looking out, he saw the young sun light up the sky, revealing an orange horizon, pink clouds, and a light blue sky.
He then looked around the center of the cul-de-sac to see Rolf chasing one of his barn animals that managed to escape his backyard, making Edd chuckle at the sight. He then looked around at the other houses to see Kevin riding his bike, possibly to either help Rolf or just laugh as well. And one by one, every other kid came out of their house to socialize.
But the one house the he paid most attention to was the vacant home that sat between Eddy's and Jimmy's house.
Ed's place...
The cul-de-sac has been quite ever since Ed disappeared and his family moved out about two months after his disappearance.
This took a tole on each of the kids, including Double D.
Him and Eddy hardly pull anymore scams since there was always a three person system that went with making them. Ed(muscle), Edd(brain), and Eddy(mastermind). But with him gone, it just got harder to rather boring to make scams without him.
Eddy and Double D still hang out but it usually takes an awkward turn since the two boys would always bicker and Ed would interrupt with something random.
At first, everyone suspected that Ed just got lost in the woods so a search party took place only to come back empty handed, then it was theorized that Ed may have gotten injured and/or trapped at the junkyard but there was no Ed. Lastly, the kanker sisters were accused of kidnapping Ed so they were interrogated. But the three turned out innocent, May Kanker then busted into tears in front of everyone over the missing ed boy she loves.
Soon, Ed was declared missing leading to amber alerts along with his family who moved out sometime after as they wanted to move on. It was a long goodbye, even with Sarah and Jimmy hugging each other as they didn't want to separate.
It's been almost eight months since Ed went missing and his family moved away, everyone seems to have gotten over their lost neighbor. Rolf found out that he misses when Ed used to chase and play with his chickens, Johnny misses the conversations that he, plank, and ed will have. Everyone else just feels like the cul-de-sac is empty without him.
No one knows what happened to Ed...no one except Double D.
Sighing, Edd put on his usual clothes and hat as he exited from his room and down the stairs towards the kitchen.
Judging by the mass amounts of sticky notes on the refrigerator, his parents will be at work all day. Good
Double D walked towards the cabinet and pulled out a box of chunky puffs and sat it on the counter.
He then headed towards the counter and grabbed a loaf of bread that has yet to be open.
Edd sighs.
"This will take a while" he moans
Over 10 minutes later, Edd holds a plate full of buttered toasts. Hopefully his parents wouldn't notice that he made toast out of the whole loaf...again...for the twelfth time...
Edd grabbed the box of chunky puffs and walked out of the kitchen, towards the basement door.
As he opened it, he was faced with a dark stairway with the sounds of growling at the bottom. Not feeling fear, Edd went down the steps until he finally reached the light switch.
Flipping the switch, the basement lit up, revealing something disturbing.
Inside of the basement was a large creature with gray skin, long fingers with sharp claws, eyes that belongs to a bug, beer belly, and a large set of teeth biting at the air. The monster was crouched as it pulled on it's chain attached to the collar tied around its neck. But the monster won't have enough strength to break free, double d made sure of that.
"Hello, Ed." double d greeted
The monster, now revealed to be Ed, turns his attention towards edd.
He stops chewing on the chain and begins to pant like a dog with his snake like tongue sticking out of his mouth, the ed-monster looks excited to see him.
Edd approached the monster as its mouth forms into a smile.
"Sleep well, old friend?" Edd questioned
Ed grunted in response.
Edd smiled softly as he tossed the box of chunky puffs towards the ed-creature who caught the box with his mouth and began to devour it whole.
While the monster who once was Ed continued to eat, Double D reached into his pocket and pulled a small tablet out and placed it under one of the many toasts.
"Alright, Ed. dig in!" said Edd as he places the plate on the ground and slides it towards his friend who's eyes shines as he begins to eat.
Double D looks at the monster form who was once a lovable oaf with a face of guilt.
While everyone believes that Ed is missing, double d knows the truth.
It happened eight months ago:
It was just a normal day, Ed was at Edd's house doing his thing while Edd was working on a serum to help against diseases. But while he was distracted, Ed saw the beaker with the serum and believed it to be a soft drink.
Ed drank the serum in front of his friend who found out last second.
Ed suddenly fell to the ground as he withered in pain, double d sat next to him, fearing his friend was about to die until he started to transform instead.
Double D backed into the corner of his room in terror as Ed became a monster.
The monster looked towards the smart Ed and believing that he was about to meet his end, edd closed his eyes.
But Ed didn't attack double d, instead he just looked at him smiling, as if he held no resentment towards double d.
Fearing that if anyone found out about this, Double D hid Ed in the basement where he chained him up and tried every way to avoid having his parents going down to the basement and finding out.
Edd watched painfully as everyone struggled to find Ed and began to hate himself for being responsible and lying to everyone.
But what could he do?
If everyone were to find out, Double D would go to prison while Ed is taken to a military facility where he will be cut opened and studied. So Double D kept this secret to himself, not even Eddy can find out.
For all of this time, Double D has been studying to find a way to make a cure for Ed.
Even if it means him going to prison after the truth is revealed, he would be happy knowing that his friend's life will go back on track.
After Ed ate the last piece of toast, he began to feel groggy, telling Edd that he ate the sleeping pill hidden under the toasts.
A few seconds later, Ed fell asleep.
Sighing again, Double D grabbed the plate and headed back upstairs but not before looking back at the sleeping monster.
"I promise you, Ed. I'll turn you back to normal. I'll fix my mistake."
And with that, Double D left the basement and went back to his room, still trying to develop a cure.
This is my first story about one of my favorite shows as a child: Ed, Edd, n Eddy.
I had this idea for a while and I hope you all enjoyed!
