((First chapter and first story I'm submitting here. Ooooh, boy... God, I am so nervous!
Contains (kinda) one-sided KevEdd and my OC. My OC's name is Jaja and she's the girl I use for my profile picture. The story's also on my DA, link to my DA account is on my profile!))
An airplane landed in Peach Creek's airport and the passengers slowly started to file out. One of the last people off the plane was a skinny girl with shoulder-length black hair wearing a red bandana and a red dress. Her name was Andreja Andrade, but everyone just called her Jaja. This wasn't the first time she was visiting Peach Creek and she wasn't certain it wouldn't be the last.
"It's been a while since I was in Peach Creek," she smiled to herself, "I don't think it's changed in the slightest."
Jaja collected her bags, hailed herself a cab, and gave the driver the address.
"Where are you visiting from?" the driver asked. Her accent gave away the fact that she was from Britain, but where in Britain is what he wanted to know.
"I'm from Bath," she answered, "Y'know, the place with the Roman baths? I'm just here to visit my cousin for a little while."
They didn't talk after that, except when the driver announced they'd reached their stop. She paid the driver and walked up to the blue house on the corner of the Cul-de-Sac.
"This house hasn't changed at all," Jaja tilted her head in curiosity, "I wonder why that is? Oh, well..."
She rang the doorbell and waited patiently. Inside, her younger cousin, Eddward, or Edd, was doing some last minute cleaning up for her arrival. He would've had more time to organize the house if his friend Eddy hadn't dragged him into another scheme. The doorbell chimed and Edd quickly ran to answer it.
"Eddward!" Jaja grinned and hugged the shorter boy, "It's been far too long, my darling!"
"Andreja," Edd said awkwardly, "It's only been about 7 years."
He didn't hug her back because he knew how dirty the planes could be.
"Look how...slightly taller you've gotten!" Jaja pulled away to look him over, "Aunty and Uncle have been taking good care of you. Where are they, anyhow?"
"They were called away on a last minute business trip," Edd explained.
"Well that's a shame! I was hoping to catch up with them, too. Whatever, we can have a nice time by ourselves, love."
"I suppose we can. Can I get you anything, Andreja?"
"If you don't mind, I'd like to use your shower. That plane has left me feeling so unclean."
Edd showed her to the bathroom and left to prepare snacks. Shortly after he started preparations, his doorbell rang.
Probably Ed and Eddy, he thought.
His suspicions were confirmed when he opened the door and his two best friends sauntered in. Ed looked happy as always and Eddy was fuming with rage.
"That stupid Kevin thinks he's so great!" Eddy shouted in anger.
"Hello to you, too," Edd rolled his eyes at his friend's typical behaviour.
"Double D!" Ed smiled eyeing the bags at the door, "Did you get a puppy?"
"I did no such thing," Edd sighed, "What's Eddy going on about this time?"
"Shovel-Chin gave everyone jawbreakers but me!" Eddy stomped and shook his fist, "Where does he get the nerve?! After everything he did to us, he owes me!"
"Maybe it's because he doesn't like you?" Edd said boredly, "Or he doesn't respect you. Or both."
"Respect?" Eddy asked with piqued interest, "That's it! If I can make Kevin respect me, then he'll just give me ALL the jawbreakers! But how do I do that?"
"Eddward!" Jaja called from upstairs.
"Did you get a parrot?" Ed asked with happy anticipation.
"No," Edd answered, "That would be-"
"Eddward!" Jaja came down the stairs in nothing but a towel and shower cap, "Do you have a hairdryer? I couldn't find one, and-"
Eddy was looking over the black haired girl with wide eyes and a dumb expression. Ed just smiled and waved at her.
"I didn't know we had company!" Jaja said without a hint of embarrassment, "Please excuse me while I get changed."
"I didn't know you had a twin, Double D!" Ed said when Jaja went back upstairs.
It was true, Jaja and Edd looked very similar. If Jaja were to hide most of her hair under a black sock hat and wear the same thing as Edd, she could easily pass for him. The easiest way to tell them apart (without her speaking) was Jaja had longer eyelashes and she was a little taller.
"She's not my twin," Edd went back to making his snacks, "She's-"
"A vision of beauty!" Eddy interrupted, "And my ticket to getting some respect! How old is she?!"
"She's my cousin, and if you must know she's 16."
"Perfect!" Eddy rubbed his hands together, "Having an older girlfriend will definitely get me respect. All I have to do is woo her."
"You're not woo-ing my cousin!" Edd snapped, "She's only here for one week, then she flies back to England."
"And older AND foreign girlfriend! Even perfecter!"
"But how will you tell her apart from Double D?" Ed scratched his head in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Eddy scoffed, "She looks nothing like Double D! She's pretty!"
Edd decided to ignore the subtle insult about his looks and set out the snacks and drinks. Jaja came downstairs wearing the same red dress and purple shruggy, plus her red bandana.
"I'm guessing you two are Ed and Eddy?" she asked, "My name is Andreja. But you may call me Jaja if you want. I'll be with you darlings momentarily, I need to take the rest of my bags to the guest room."
"I can carry your bags!" Eddy quickly volunteered.
"That's quite alright," Jaja reached for her bag, "But thank you!"
"Or I can carry you!" Eddy tried to lift Jaja but found he was unable to.
"You REALLY don't have to do that..." Jaja raised an eyebrow at the boy's strange behaviour.
"Then I'll carry your bags and Ed can carry you!"
"What?"
"At your service!" Ed saluted and carried Jaja bridal style up the stairs to the bedroom next to Edd's.
"How...kind?" Jaja said uncomfortably.
"Do not mention it, Miss Double D!"
"Darling, there's only one 'D' in 'Andreja'."
Eddy slowly made his way into the room where he set the heavy bags down.
"Darling," Jaja took the bags from him, "Don't strain yourself. I can lift my bags just fine."
"It's no trouble," Eddy wheezed, "Do you need me to carry anything else?"
"No thank you, love. But I do believe my in-flight meal has worn off. Would you both care to join me for lunch?"
Jaja told the other two Ed's about her childhood and life in England. Jaja wasn't actually born in Bath, she was born in Bradford but her family moved to Bath because they thought Bradford was too unsafe. She spent summers with her grandparents in Cambridgeshire where she worked on their farm. That was why she was so strong, even if she didn't look it.
"If you want," Eddy said in his best Casanova voice, "I can show you around Peach Creek, later."
"That does sound lovely," Jaja nodded, "We can all go together!"
"As a group?" Eddy's spirits dropped.
"Of course as a group! Just let me get my handbag."
"You got it, Miss Double D!" Ed waved as she went to get her purse.
"Why does Ed keep calling her that?" Eddy asked, genuinely confused.
