Fourteen-year-old Ed was in the park swinging one afternoon after school. He was all by himself, since Bella and Edd were cleaning Bella's fish tank and Eddy had gotten detention again. Ed laughed as he swung higher and higher. Just then, a boy appeared. He was the same height as Ed, but a little stronger-looking. He had messy blond hair and blue eyes. He wore a green shirt with the sleeves torn so they were only down to his elbows. His baggy jeans were torn on the knees.

"Jib?!" Ed cried happily, jumping off the swing and running over to the boy, "Jib, it is you! You have returned! Oh, boy, I have so much to tell you!"

"In due time, Ed," the boy said, "I've missed you, dude, but I have some...business...to take care of."

"Oh, pleeaase?" Ed begged, "Come on! It won't take long!"

"Soon, Ed," Jib smiled at his friend's behavior, which hadn't changed a bit, "Soon. But, first, how are your friends, um, Eddy, Bella, and Double D?"

"Oh, they're cool! We're still best friends, of course!" Ed smiled, "We're gonna be best friends forever!"

"That's nice," Jib said, "Can I see them?"

"Oh, oh, yeah!" Ed said, "Eddy's got detention, though, but Bella and Double D are at their home! Come on!"

Ed dragged Jib along by his arm over to Bella and Edd's house, where they had just finished cleaning Bella's fish tank.

"Grazie, again, Doppio D," Bella sighed, flopping down on the couch by the fish tank, "That jug is so heavy when it's full."

"Yes, well," Edd sat down on the couch, too, also tired, "I know how important your fish are to you."

Just then, they heard the door bell ring.

"I got it!" Bella cried, jumping up and running to the door. Felice followed closely. Bella opened the door to see Ed and another boy standing there, "Ciao, Ed. Who's this?"

"Come on, Bella, you remember Jib," Ed said, wondering how Bella could forget.

"Oh, Jib," Bella said, a bit confused. Yes, she remembered that day when Ed had an 'imaginary' friend which turned out to be real, but she never actually saw him. Neither had anyone else, "Yeah, I remember now. So, what brings you back?"

"Uh, just something I have to...take care of," Jib answered.

"Um, well, come on in," Bella invited Ed and the no-longer-invisible Jib inside to the living room, "Um, Doppio D, you remember Jib, right?"

Edd looked up at Ed and Bella. No one else was there, but by the name Jib, Edd could imagine that Ed's imaginary friend had returned.

"Oh, of course," Edd decided to play along, "Jib, right. So, how have you, um, been?"

"Well, that 'hotel' that Eddy guy sent me wasn't all that nice," Jib grumbled.

"Jib said the hotel wasn't good," Ed said, tilting his head questionably at his friend.

"Oh, I'm sorry to...hear...that," Edd said. He had really thought Ed had grown out of this by now.

"So, where's the short guy?" Jib asked.

"Jib wants to know where Eddy is," Ed said.

"Well, his detention should be over-" Edd began before they heard the door open and slam and Eddy walked in, "-soon. Hello, Eddy. You remember Jib, don't you?"

Eddy stared at Edd, who tilted his head in the direction of the only-visible-to-Ed-and-Bella Jib, who glared slightly at Eddy.

"Ugh, did Ed really bring that back up?" Eddy groaned, "Ed, it's not real!"

"He is so, Eddy!" Ed glared, "He's right here!" He thumped Jib on his back, sending him forward a bit. Jib righted himself back up. He knew the others couldn't see him, but it seemed the cat-girl could see and hear him now. Maybe he could use this to his advantage...

"I think he really is, guys," Bella said, kinda quietly, "Either my eyes are playing tricks on me, or else...I actually see him."

"Really?" Ed gasped happily, "Bella, that's so cool!"

"Come on, babe, quit jokin'," Eddy smiled and put his arm around Bella.

"Guys, I'm serious," Bella said a little louder, "He's actually there."

"'Course I am!" Jib said.

"Are you sure, Bella?" Edd asked his step-sister, "I mean, you couldn't see him last time. Why would you be able to this time?"

"I don't know, but...I can," Bella said.

Jib tried to think of some way to make the other two believe that he was actually real. He saw the jug of old fish water that Edd and Bella had yet to dump out. He smirked slightly as he dipped his hand in and threw a handful of the dirty water at Eddy's head!
