A/N: Story request from cartoonnetwork90sfan. I hope it goes better than I think it did once I typed this up. I'll continue more later, be on the edge for the first ever Ed, Edd, n Eddy/WordGirl fan fic! WOOOORD UP!
The Botsford family car was driving and leaving R-Fair City. Becky was sitting next to her pet monkey, hugging him tightly as they left the city far away from friends like Violet, and Scoops, well, just Violet and Scoops. Becky's younger brother, TJ, was staring out the window, dressed in short-sleeves and shorts with a neckerchief and cap, going to a boy scout camp for the summer.
"Now, Becky, you know that your aunt and uncle don't like animals in the house, but I'm sure you'll have fun with your cousin and his friends in the cul-de-sac without Bob anyway." Tim Botsford tried to comfort his daughter seeing as she and the monkey were practically inseparable.
Bob the monkey squeaked and chattered to Becky, looking confused.
"Oh, a cul-de-sac is a street neighborhood where a few people live in. My cousin, aunt, and uncle live in a cul-de-sac with their friends while we live in the city." Becky explained while a whimsical chime played in the background as she defined a vocabulary word to her pet.
"MOM! Becky's being like WordGirl again!" TJ whined.
"Now, TJ, your sister is just as smart as WordGirl, but they are not the same person," Sally scolded, but had a charming smile to show she wasn't being nasty with her children when they tattled on each other. "They're both very unique people with their pet monkeys, being the same age, height, and having a special vocabulary."
"Huh, I guess you're right, Becky only wishes she could be WordGirl!" TJ said, taking out his WordGirl and Dr. Two-Brains action figures.
"You'll both have nice summers, TJ and Bob will be boy scouts, and Becky, you'll have a lot of fun with your cousin, Eddward." Sally assured.
"What're you and Dad going to do while we're gone?" Becky wondered with a smile.
Both Tim and Sally grew nervous. They knew what they wanted to do while they would have the house to themselves, but it was a little weird to discuss in front of children, especially a young monkey, seven-year old boy, and ten-year old girl.
"Oh, look, we're here!" Tim quickly changed the subject once they pulled up to a nice suburban house with the name Vincent on the mailbox.
"Wow, that was fast-paced." Becky said.
"Becky, be good to your cousin and have a nice time!" Tim called once his daughter left the car with her luggage.
"Okay, Dad, bye Bob, have a good time at boy scout camp!" Becky called, waving goodbye to everyone.
"Goodbye, Becky!" Tim called.
"Bye-Bye, sweetie!" Sally added. "Say goodbye to your sister, TJ."
"Bye to your sister, TJ." the younger brother sounded like he didn't care as he stared out the window, eager to get to camp.
Sally laughed a little. "That's a good joke, TJ!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." TJ rolled his eyes.
Bob squeaked to Becky.
"Sure thing, Bob, call me when you get there!" Becky answered his question and waved goodbye to him.
The Botsford family car left. Becky coughed a little from the smoke leaving the gas pipe and suddenly there was disinfecting spray in the air. Becky coughed heavily than when the smoke hit her and turned to see a boy who looked a little older than her with a mask on his face to protect from the spray.
"You must be my cousin, Rebecca Botsford." the boy said, removing his mask to talk with her properly.
"That's me, but please, call me Becky."
"Very well, Becky, my name is Eddward, but my friends call me Double D."
"Why do they call you that?"
"Because my name is spelled with two D's."
"Oh..."
"Well, come inside, Mother and Father told me about you coming and I've been anticipating ever since!"
Becky smiled, carrying her bags and walked inside the house with her cousin, Double D. Becky looked all around, seeing plastic on the furniture, safety plugs everywhere, and it looked like a perfect house for a paranoid neat freak. It was probably good that Bob wasn't there to ruin it all. Not that Bob wasn't messy all the time, but he was a monkey and probably would be overwhelming in the situation.
Double D sniffled and sneezed suddenly.
"Gesundheit." Becky told him.
"Thank you," Double D said, then blew his nose as he suddenly sounded stuffed up. "You know it's funny, the only thing I'm allergic to is monkey fur..."
"Oh, that must be from Bob... We hugged before I came out here." Becky looked at her clothes, probably having the chimp's fur plastered over her body.
Double D stepped back suddenly, putting on a surgical mask and rubber gloves. "Becky, I'm sorry, but I must remove your clothing and give you something more suitable to wear."
"Hey! What the-"
Suddenly Double D came over Becky and took off her sweater, undershirt, skirt, knee socks, and dress shoes. Even her headband. Becky screamed that she was naked, but Double D then placed a dress shirt, suit like jacket, tie, skirt, new socks, and Mary Janes over her.
"I look like a business woman..." Becky remarked, looking around her new clothes.
"Could be the case, Mother wore the very same outfit when she was your age." Double D remarked.
"Speaking of which, where are your parents?" Becky asked, following him to the kitchen for a little snack after her weary travel.
"Mother is out of town for a meeting in Japan and won't be back for another week, and Father is in the office working overtime, meanwhile it's just me and you." Double D said, taking out dry wheat bread, soy butter and gluten-free jelly to make a sandwich.
"Is that soy butter and jelly?"
"Yes, I heard that your school cafeteria serves the same thing for lunch, so why take it away from the city girl?"
"Uh, thanks Eddward..."
"Please, call me Double D, my friends Ed and Eddy will be here any minute and we don't want to get ourselves confused, do we?"
"You and your friends have the same name?"
"Yes, isn't it humorous?" Double D giggled in amusement with himself.
"Yeah, I guess, confusing though." Becky shrugged, forcing down her sandwich as a snack.
Double D giggled and made himself a sandwich to eat with latex gloves.
"What's with all the sticky notes?" Becky asked as she glanced around her cousin's house.
"That's how we communicate in my house since my parents are busy all the time. You do know what communicate means, do you Becky?"
"Sure, communicate means to talk or discuss things with other people, like right now, we are communicating about your family's lifestyle." Becky defined, the same chime in the background.
Double D looked around. "Is that the doorbell?"
"What?"
"Didn't you hear that music while you defined that word?"
"What music?"
"You didn't hear-Never mind..."
Becky and Double D continued to eat their sandwiches. Becky liked the sight and sound of this so far. No WordGirl interruptions, no bad guys to fight, maybe this would be a good visit. For once, she could be a normal girl in a normal place with a normal family. Well, almost normal. Suddenly, she heard a cry for help with her super hearing.
"HEEEEELP! THE KANKER SISTERS ARE ROBBING FROM THE CANDY STORE!"
"That's great, but why are you telling me this?"
"Isn't this the police station?"
"No, it's my club house, and I think you're in the wrong state."
"Oh, thanks. HEEEEELP!"
"Are you alright, Becky?" Double D asked. "You just kind of zoned out."
"Oh, uhh... I just remembered that I have a bag outside..." Becky lied the best she could. "I'll be right back."
"I'll disinfect it for you!" Double D stood out of his stool.
"NO! Uhh... I'll take care of it!"
"Take this."
Double D handed her his spray.
"Uh... Thanks, Double D. I'll be right back." Becky smiled, then rushed outside, closing the door behind her so her cousin wouldn't see her. "Oh, I guess I can't get away for once in my life. This also looks like a solo job without Bob's help. Oh, well. WORD UP!" she hit her shirt, turning into her superhero identity and flew off to the candy store.
The curly-haired boy, Jimmy, had seen that while riding on his tricycle on his way home after playing with Sarah. He then turned around, revved up the engine to see her as soon as possible.
"SARAAAAH!"
