Chapter 1

D & K in the Cal-de-Sac

This is co-written with Kiyo Hosokoawa.

We own ourselves and I own the OC's. We do not own Ed, Edd, n' Eddy. If we did, this would be a cartoon. ^^


Dream Dragoness' POV

I groaned as I woke with a throbbing headache while trying to remember what had happened. One minute, I was typing a new chapter for one of my fan fictions, and then next, ZAP! Out like a light.

"Ugh. What was the number of the truck that hit me?" I groaned sarcastically, hating the headache.

But my hatred would turn to shock as I opened my eyes to a familiar landscape.

"Where on Oddworld am I?"

I was in the middle of a cartoon-style ally way that connected a forest at one end and a town in another. I was certain that this was very familiar, but I didn't know until I looked down at myself.

"Wha-!"

Instead of my normal body, I was a cartoon. And shorter as well. Finding a broken mirror near some trashcans, I picked up a shard and gaped as I saw myself. Not only was I a cartoon, but I was younger. I was medium height and thin, estimating about twelve. My red hair was long and tied back in a low ponytail with a purple twist-tie.

I was dressed in a purple tank top with blue jean shorts that went to my knees, Velcro sandals that went to my ankles, a beaded rainbow bracelet on one arm and a watch with glittery butterflies on the face on the other arm. I also had my favorite earrings, which was tear-drop shaped and had a painting of a crescent overlooking a hill in a purple starry sky, and a dragon pendent.

I pushed up my violet/maroon lotus-style-on-the-side-of-the-frame glasses as I gaped.

"Holy Monkeys! Am I in…?"

My question was halted by another groan near some trashcans.

"Stupid computer. Shorting out on me like that."

I approached the voice and saw that it was coming from a boy who seemed to be my current age. He had brown hair, a black shirt with a gray tank top over that, magenta pants, and black hiking shoes.

"You ok?" I asked.

The boy got up as he answered.

"I think s—?"

When he saw me, he looked like I was familiar to him.

"Question? What's our passion?"

I thought for a minute until I realized it was a code that I shared with a friend of mine on the internet.

"Fan-Fiction and Awesome Crossovers!"

His eyes widened as he asked me, "Dream Dragoness?"

My eyes equally widened as I answered my friend with a question.

"Kiyo Hosokoawa?"

"The one and only. But what's going on? Why are we-?"

But I held up my hand to shush him as I heard a familiar set of voices coming from the other side of the wall.

"Over there. I hear something."

I found two holes in a fence and looked in, where we saw three familiar boys setting up a stand.

"Come on, Sockhead, we needed to have the scam done yesterday!"

"Highly impractical, Eddy. You have only thought up the scam twenty minutes ago. We'll be finished with the set up in another ten minutes."

I was squirming in my spot while Kiyo just stood there. Shocked: Stupefied mode. We were seeing Ed, Edd, and Eddy for real.

As much I should've been in shock myself at how this happened, I couldn't help myself from having a quiet squeal-fest. But as my squeals began to grow a bit louder, Kiyo covered my mouth with his hand.

"Shush! You can't squeal here. People will think you're insane."

Even though it was difficult, Kiyo was right. Taking his hand off of my mouth, we began to figure out what to do next.

However, we were unaware that one of my squeals was heard by a familiar lovable oaf.


Third POV

Ed heard a faint squeal from the ally. While his two pals were preoccupied with the "Map Scam," he decided to go around the fence to see who or what was making that noise. He beamed as he yelled out loud, pointing to Dream Dragoness and Kiyo.

"Hey guys! New kids!"

The sudden yell scared Dream Dragoness so bad that she screamed at the top of her lungs, causing both Double D and Eddy to check the ally out and Kiyo's head to vibrate.

Clutching his head, Kiyo groaned as he spoke sarcastically at his red-headed cohort.

"Could you scream a little louder? I think I can still hear."

Dream Dragoness chuckled nervously.

"He-he. Sorry, Kiyo. That's what happens when someone or something surprises me."

Ed, not even noticing that the redhead even screamed, approached the pair and held out his hand.

"My name is Ed, friends. Uh, well, it's just 'Ed', not 'Ed Friends.' I am Ed and you are friends-."

Dream Dragoness snickered as Kiyo, who was also snickering, shook Ed's hand, interrupting his long dialogue.

"Uh, nice to meet you, Ed. My name's Kiyo. And my friend here is-."

"DeeDee. I'm DeeDee."

Kiyo nodded as he whispered to his fellow Fic-Author.

"Nice one…DeeDee."

The newly named DeeDee smirked as Double D and Eddy came around the corner to meet up with the trio. Eddy was irritated at first, but smirked as he realized the two newbies were sucker material. Double D, however, was happy to see new youths.

"Why salutations! I haven't seen either of you before, so welcome to Peach Creek. My name is Eddward. That's with two D's, so I prefer others to call me Double D. You have already met Ed; and this…"

But Double D halted as Eddy sped toward the new kids with hand-drawn maps in his hand.

"You two look like you are lost. Well, not anymore! For a mere 25¢ each, you two can have your very own map of this Cal-de-Sac!"

Double D frowned at his scheming friend.

"Eddy! Show some respect!"

He then turned to the pair.

"My apologies. That is Eddy."

Kiyo and DeeDee were doing their best not to snicker at the event that was before them. Seeing the tension, DeeDee waved her hand.

"As they say in Australia, 'No worries.'"

Kiyo then got a plan and pulled his friend back.

"Could you excuse us for a minute?"

Double D and Eddy looked confused as they nodded, allowing the two friends to huddle a few feet farther.

After a few minutes of whispering, Kiyo and DeeDee came back with smiles on their faces.

"We'll take two."

Double D's eyes widened while Eddy's turned into dollar signs.

"Two maps, comin' up!"

In a flash, Eddy returned with two crudely hand-drawn maps, while Kiyo took out two quarters.

"Here you go."

DeeDee took the maps and handed one to Kiyo while Eddy gazed insanely at the loot.

With a smirk, the two Fic-Authors activated their plan. DeeDee took the Kiyo's map and handed them back to Eddy.

"Ok. We're done. That'll be 50¢, please."

As she did that, Kiyo quickly took the quarters before Eddy knew what hit him. When he looked at his hand, his eyes widened in confusion.

"What the-? What just happened?"

Double D, however, caught this and spoke, impressed at the pair's cunning.

"That was clever."

DeeDee gave Kiyo a high-five just as Eddy yelled, "Hey! Give me back my quarters!"

Kiyo waved a finger at the short Ed.

"Uh-uh-uh. We had a deal. Two maps for two quarters."

DeeDee and Double D chuckled at the short Ed's frustrations with the new boy.

"You're a hoot, Kiyo." DeeDee chuckled.

Double D then looked at the red-head.

"Anyway. I haven't seen you or your friend before. May I ask for your names?"

DeeDee nodded.

"My name's DeeDee and the guy who took back his quarters is Kiyo. We…uh…just moved here."

Kiyo nodded in the background at DeeDee's choice of words.

"Yeah. We live…"

Kiyo eyed the Cal-de-Sac until he spotted a familiar building. He pointed to a broken down house that was seen in the episode 'Honor thy Ed.'

"…over there."

Looking at the decrepit house, the Eds' eyes widened.

"No way! You live in the house of the Phantom of the Earwax? Cool!" Ed spoke, impressed as always.

"Are your families insane or something?" Eddy asked them.

"As much as I don't want to agree, I must ask what possessed your parents to move there." Double D spoke.

Kiyo looked to DeeDee for an answer, which she just happen to have.

"Yeah. Uh…actually, it's just the two of us. We wanted to prove to our folks we can live on our own. Long story short, we're the new owners of the place."

Double D was suspicious about the pairs' answers, but left it alone as the neighborhood kids spotted them and began to approach the group.

"Hey guys! Check out the new kids!" A familiar blond called as she ran toward the lane.

Double D waved as he called out.

"Greetings, everyone! I'd like you to meet Kiyo and DeeDee.

DeeDee looked at Kiyo as they headed to the sidewalk.

"Oh, boy. More intros. I hope there are some beds in that old house."

Kiyo nodded at his exasperated friend. Once they reached the sidewalk, each of the kids approached them and introduced themselves in their own way.

"Hi. I'm Nazz." Nazz spoke as she shook hands with the pair before pointing out something on DeeDee.

"I like your glasses."

DeeDee grinned.

"Thanks."

"`Sup. I'm Kevin. But you can call me anything you want, beautiful." Kevin spoke after he moved his hat in a cool way toward DeeDee, making the red-head mentally sweat-drop.

"Uh~ Just 'DeeDee,' thank you."

The two Fic-Authors leaned back as a bald kid with a 2x4 in his hand appeared in front of them.

"Hey, new kids! My name's Johnny and this is my buddy, Plank."

"Uh~ Nice to meet you." Responded both Kiyo and DeeDee.

Two younger kids then approached them, the auburn girl tossing Johnny aside so that the curly head boy could greet them.

"Hello. My name is Jimmy."

"And I'm Sarah."

The pair waved, knowing what a fierce temper Sarah had.

"Nice to meet you two." They spoke.

Once they had met Sarah and Jimmy, DeeDee and Kiyo were tossed into the air and they found themselves being juggled by Rolf.

"Rolf wishes to greet the Dee-girl and Kiyo-boy with the Juggle of a Thousand Welcomes!"

Both Kiyo and DeeDee were becoming dizzy until they landed on Ed and Eddy, DeeDee's bum on Eddy's back and Kiyo's head on Ed's head.

"Oh, boy. Spinning planet~" DeeDee groaned as she tried to regain her stability.

Kiyo's watch beeped, causing the author to look at it. The watch said it was 3 o'clock. Wanting some rest, Kiyo grabbed DeeDee and headed to the house.

"Nice meeting you guys, but we got a lot of unpacking to do and stuff. So see you tomorrow."

The kids waved as the Fan-Authors made it to their new house.


DeeDee's POV

When my line of vision became straight, I saw that Kiyo had gotten me to the house we pointed out was ours.

"You OK, DeeDee?" I heard Kiyo asked.

I nodded.

"Still a little dizzy, but I'm fine."

Seeing our new abode, I spoke.

"Wanna check the place out and find our rooms?"

Kiyo nodded as we trailed around the old house.

As we did, we did some commentary.

"Wood is what we need majorly. Replace all the rotten and decaying wood will keep the structure intact." Kiyo commented.

"And we need some paint. If this is gonna be our base, we need to make it look good."

Kiyo looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"You sound like you're in an Invader Zim fan fic instead of an Ed, Edd, n' Eddy fic."

I looked at him with a 'WTF' look.

"We're here for one chapter and we're already breaking the fourth wall."

Kiyo snickered at my comment as we continue to make a list of what's needed. We found later on that we had some money in our chosen rooms for groceries and stuff.

Weird.

We ordered some pizza, soda, and sides for supper as we removed the tarp from the furniture, which was surprisingly well preserved, and cleaned the living room. We moved the furniture just in time when the pizza came. We ate in the living area with the blinds closed and a couple of candles lit. We sat on two couches that were separated by a coffee table where the pizza and stuff were set.

"I can get the fridge repaired tomorrow after I took care of the power. Smart thinking with the windmill-for-power idea." Kiyo complement me as he ate a breadstick.

"Well, I'm a bit of an environmentalist. Plus, we make our own power; we won't need to pay any electricity bills." I told him.

Once we at all of our dinner, we headed for our rooms for the night, ready to get an early start in the morning.

"Night, Kiyo."

"Night, DeeDee. Maybe we can figure out why we're here tomorrow."

I took a room that was next to the library and was facing the Cal-de-Sac. There were clean clothes in the dresser and closet, the dresser having a mirror on it like a vanity. The bed was an old canopy bed with surprisingly clean sheets.

I changed into a pair of cotton shorts and a Milwaukee Brewers t-shirt that went past my hips and I had clean socks on my feet.

Once I got under the covers, I looked at the window.

"I wonder how we got here and why? Maybe Kiyo's right. Maybe tomorrow might hold some answers."

After that thought, I closed my eyes and went to sleep.


Me and Kiyo thank you for reading. Please Review and no flames. ^^
