About the story:

First, if you have an impressionable mind don't watch the video, the way the characters look will stick in your mind forever. Actually some of this won't make since if you don't see the actual music video; it's just that the way they are drawn was stuck in my mind for a loong time... (Of course that could be the coffee :D ).


Anyway:

Okay, so I'm not sure if any of you know about this but, there is a song by they might be giants called 'Crazy Bastard wants to Hit me' that many people think might be a story about Double D and Ed in the future. In the video Double D sees Ed and doesn't recognize him; and is actually scared of him. Ed, however, recognizes Double D and starts trying to get him to remember him. He chases him down pointing out his many scars from all of their 'Ed-ventures'.

There are also many people who say that it couldn't be about them because of the video's end. In the end we see the supposed Ed get mad and apparently (since the screen blanks out and all we see is a fist) hit the supposed Double D. However, since we don't actually see the end, and we all know Ed is unintentionally harmful, one could perhaps explain the ending scene.

Also, the 'Ed' in the video puts a bag over his head before he supposedly attacks the 'Double D' in the video. One could relate this to the monster suit in 'The Day the Ed Stood Still' and that would also explain the rage scene at the end. Anyway, because of those reasoning's behind why the ending doesn't disprove the video's connection to EEnE, here's my version:


Eddward opened his eyes, feeling faint and nauseated.

He was being choked! He knew he was!

He lifted his head to find himself in the strange man's arms, the bag over his head was gone, and... he was smiling stupidly.

Hugging him to death. Eddward put his head down. This was uncomfortable, but not...deadly. After a few minutes Eddward sighed, wondering how long the insane man was going to hug him.

"It's okay Double D! You don't have to be afraid of me for I have bathed!" The man said cheerfully, pulling Eddward's face towards his, smiling insanely. Eddward pulled his head back, squinting his eyes.

"W-w..what do you want?" He whispered, utterly scared.

"To play of course! Silly Double D!" The man said smiling even more, if that was possible.

"Let, let...let me go. I- I just want to go home. I-I need to go home..." Eddward bent his head down, biting the neck of his vest.

"Oh." The man said softly, biting his lip as confusion clouded him for a moment. Hope sparked in Eddward, praying the man would let him go. Instead the man's eyes lit up, unsettling Edd once more. "Uh...Oh! Come on, I need to take you to Eddy, he'll know what to do." The man sat him down, one arm still around his shoulder, tightly.

Eddward sighed inaudibly, excepting his fate. He was going to die. The man was going to take him somewhere remote and strangle him. He closed his eyes as the world started to spin again.

"Double D.. Are you okay.. I think you're gonna loose your lunch again... are you?" Eddward squeaked in surprise to see the man's face two inches from his own. He took the moment to look at the man. He might as well know the man that was going to kill him. He had long 'slightly-more-red-than-auburn' hair and facial hair, many freckles and marks from what could be assumed acne, and, at the moment, sad and worried eyes, his mouth turned in a pout. Eddward looked down to the ground, scared and suddenly sad. Was his fate truly going to be death by some poor, pitiful man who probably needed as much help as he did?

"Awwww, stop shaking. Double D... do. .do you remember me? It's me, Ed.." Ed said to Eddward, picking him up and walking around to the other side of the car, sitting him down in the passenger side and shutting the door behind him, getting into the driver's side and starting the car. Eddward was curled next to the door in shock looking at the man who called himself Ed start his car. Ed turned and looked at him and Eddward closed his eyes tight. Ed clucked his tongue and reached over and buckled Eddward's seat belt.

"Don't want you to fall into a stray portal, now do we?" He said, buckling his own seat belt and driving out of the parking lot. Eddward scrunched his entire body against the door, staring widely at Ed.

"Y-...y-you you you d-don-don't.." Eddward stammered, not knowing why he was even talking. Ed kept driving but gently put his hand on Eddward's left shoulder, rubbing slowly in small circles.

"Shhh, sound it out Double D, just sound it out. Remember, that's how you taught me big words? You just take it slow and calm." He said reassuringly. Eddward shook, but slowly nodded.

"Y-You forgot your shirt. You, you don't have a shirt on...are-are,are you c-cold?" He stammered, feeling a little light headed. Ed laughed and looked at him funny.

"I didn't even notice. Oh well.. I'll get it later, I've been working out, I doubt anyone will want to go within ten feet of the thing." He replied, with an obvious attempt to lighten the mood. Eddward ducked his head, but couldn't hide the small grin. "There you go Double D! Aww, you still have the gap!" He exclaimed happily, as he turned into the parking lot of a small apartment complex. Ed stepped out of the car, fully intent on having to escort Double D into Eddy's apartment. Eddward, however, had seemed to warm up to this huge, yet inviting, man, at least a little. He opened his car door and stepped out, shutting the door softly behind him. He looked around and wrapped his arms around himself. Ed walked over to him and held out a hand. Eddward flinched and step back a little; then looked timidly at Ed.

"Y-You're not gonna kill me are you?" He asked seriously. This time it was Ed's turn to step back. He sighed and looked at Eddward worriedly, his eyes set.

"Double D, I would die before I'd let anything hurt you. Do...What's going on? Do you not remember me?" He asked stepping closer. This time Eddward didn't back away. In fact Eddward stepped closer to him.

"Four years ago.. almost five, I was in a bad car wreck. Nothing actually happened to me, but it killed the boy who was driving the car I was in. He was a friend of mine from college, or so I'm told, but, the car wreck caused me to forget my entire childhood. I can't recall anything short two minutes prior to the accident. I've been dealing with it. I don't know who I am though.. " He said looking off to the side, wondering why he hadn't thought of this before. Ed stuck his lower lip out and pulled Eddward into another tight hug.

"Well, I'm pretty sure you're my best friend." He said looking longingly, "I have problems too.. I'm..uh, mentally retarded," Eddward made a face at him, and Ed laughed. "Well I am! I mean, that's the diag-diag, ha, uh that's what the doctor's told me! It's nothing bad." Eddward relaxed a bit, humor finally appearing in his eyes. "Well, anyway, I also used to have severe autism, but, in high school you helped learn so much that I started to love learning. I actually got much better. When you went to college I tried so hard to continue learning new things and how to do stuff. You cheered me on, until you disappeared. You know, we talked still trough the computer and the phone, while you were at college, but you stopped calling and emailing, Eddy said you didn't like us anymore, but I thought something else happened...I even kind of thought you would talk to me again, if I became smarter... So I think I actually decided to learn twice as hard after that." Ed gave him an impish grin. Eddward returned a scared, but sincere smile. "It worked too. I made it to The Art Institution of Chicago, which is, well, why we live in Chicago now. Honestly, if it weren't for you, I'd be in a different institution." He said laughing softly and running his hand over Eddward's hat. Eddward's eyes were beyond wide. His body trembling, but not from fear.

"That's one of the top three art academies in the country!" Eddward exclaimed, his respect for the man hugging him escalating. Ed nodded.

"Yeah, they're all paintings of you." Emotion sparked in Eddward. An emotion stronger than anything he'd felt since the car crash.

"Ed." Eddward looked at him, hugging him back just as tight. "I'm not sure if I'm your best friend or not, but I hope I am." He whispered softly. Ed smiled.

"Okay, Mr. gravy! Lets let Eddy see you!" He said grinning insanely again.

"Oh... Uh, I have turrets too!"

Eddward giggled.

"Of course you do Ed, of course you do." He said as they began walking up the stairs to Eddy's and Ed's apartment.
