Hello everyone! I am here to try my hand at an ed, edd and eddy fanfiction. This show has always been a guilty pleasure of mine and I rediscovered it with my son a few days ago. So here I am corrupting fictional characters that are not my own. I hope you all enjoy ;)

Chapter 1
Eddward sighed as he idly bounced a stone off the toe of his black converse, yet another one of Eddy's schemes had failed so unsurprisingly he blamed the group Brainiac. Feeling understandably frustrated Edd saw fit to seek refuge at one of his favorite places as a child in order to rearrange his thoughts and emotions.
Edd burrowed deep into his grey hoodie and scowled out at the playground where he had spent many of his younger days. Though red was still his favorite color he had saw fit to retire the ties, purple shorts and red knee high socks for a more relaxed style upon entering high school. It was his hypothesis that looking less like a stereotypical nerd would help curb some of the bullying he had previously endured and it did…somewhat.
He was still laughed at for his obsessively hygienic tendencies and his constant As in class but he was of the mindset that somethings could not be helped.
The genius was pulled from his musing when the autumn wind saw fit to throw a cluster of wet leaves into his face leaving him sputtering.
"Filthy, filthy, filthy." He muttered pulling out a sanitizer wipe and cleaning his face.
"You know that's why you're always sick right?" The boy jumped and looked to his right where a girl was snickering as she leaned up against a nearby tree. "I beg your pardon?" She gestured to the bulging pocket of his hoodie where the cold medicine he always carried was poking out. "You constantly have a cold right? It's why you carry it?" he answered with a slight shrug and she continued. "It's because you haven't given your immune system a chance to develop, you're destroying germs before your body is given a chance to fight them off thus your immune system is weak." She sat down beside him while he mulled over her words. "I never thought of that, I will have to research to confirm of course." The girl chuckled and then fixed him with and intense look "So what's your issue, you look like the type that's only alone when you're upset."
Edd studied the stranger. She didn't look like someone he would expect to associate with. Long layered hair was dyed purple and blue and green eyes sparkled under dark liner. Her lean frame was covered in a black hoodie with a skeleton design and baggy pants layered with chains. Her spiked boots squeaked slightly against the pavement as she shuffled, waiting for his answer. She definitely seemed more like the type that would be associating with Kevin or Nazz, more likely Kevin as Nazz seems to prefer hanging with natural blondes like herself.
Perhaps it was her differences that intrigued him but Edd couldn't help but pour out his plight starting with Eddy's ridiculous scam and ending with the blame being wrongfully placed when the scam failed. The girl leaned back and looked contemplative for a moment. "Sounds like this Eddy is a bit of an ass." Edd shook his head at her language but agreed "Although crudely put, I would be inclined to agree. Eddy can often at times be contemptable." The girl laughed. "Contemptable, I like it. What's your name?" Edd blushed slightly "Eddward." A dark eye brow rose in amusement. "So you and both your friends have some variation of the name Ed?" Eddward nodded. "That seems to be the case, you can call me Double D, everyone does." The girl smiled. "Ok, my name is Mona, Mona Kanker."
Edd's blood ran cold. " K, k, Kanker?" The girl sighed. "I take it you've ran into my less than desirable cousins?" the boy nodded, slightly inching away from Mona who leaned back. "Well you can relax, I might live with them but unlike them I can take a no, nor am I nearly as, how to put it, disgusting?...yeah that works." Edd snickered despite himself. "Well I do find you more enjoyable to converse with than Marie, despite her misguided delusions." Mona laughed. "So you're the poor sap that Marie's going on about, I feel for ya buddy I do."
Edd smiled then shivered slightly as the sun finished setting. "I really must be going, School starts tomorrow and I must make sure I have an ample amount of time for preparation and rest." Mona grinned and stretched as she stood. "Got it, well then I will see you tomorrow." The boy nodded. "I look forward to it." The girl tossed back one last smile and disappeared into the woods as Edd's attention was caught by his to best friends.
"Geez sock head, I didn't mean for you to take it so hard." Eddy grumbled, clearly unhappy with being forced to search for his friend for the last two hours. Edd opened his mouth to acknowledge Eddy's admission of guilt but as interrupted by a typical bear hug from Ed. "Double D! Where were you! Ed could not find you! Were you hiding?" Edd patted his lovable brute of a friend on the head. "Of course not my friend, I simply needed some time to consolidate and reorganize my thought process." "And were you successful?" Eddy asked sarcastically, still obviously sour, Edd looked back at the woods and found himself smiling. "I believe I was."
The first day of Junior year was already half over and Edd was feeling quite pleased with the day's outcome. He had his two best friends in all of his morning classes and had Eddy in his math class after lunch.
The trio sat down in the cafeteria with their trays and Eddy immediately began spewing about another scam he wanted to try out over the weekend. Edd was nodding, pretending to listen as he mulled over the days homework when his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden weight on his shoulders. "Double D! How's your day going?" Edd smiled up at the colorful young woman and blushed slightly at the sudden physical contact. "It's going quite well, I have been most pleased by the morning's experiences, and you?" Before the girl could answer, their conversation was interrupted by a throat being obnoxiously cleared. "Who the hell are you?" Eddy asked scowling at the intruder draped over his intelligent best friend. Ed sat silent, watching the exchange with wide eyes, burger half way in his mouth. The female rose a brow but introduced herself. "I'm Mona I just moved here and you?" The shorter male leaned back still scowling. "Eddy, if you just moved here how do you know my best bud here?" Edd blushed and tried to shush his rude friend but Mona patted his shoulder as she slid into the seat next to Ed, ignoring the giant's stare. "Well Nosy, I met him last night at the cul-de-sac playground."
Eddy shot Edd a glare "Really now, that's just awesome." Mona rose a brow at Eddy's sarcastic tone "Right… what's your next class?" Edd shifted slightly under Mona's penetrating stare, both uncomfortable and slightly flattered by the attention. "Mathematics and you?" The girl smiled, still ignoring the seething midget across from her. "Same, anyways I gotta go get familiar with everything while I still can, I'll see ya there." Edd watched the girl stride off without an answer before he turned his attention to an obviously irritated Eddy "What?" The shorter male leaned back in his seat "When were you gonna tell us about your new secret friend?" Edd rolled his eyes. "Come now Eddy, she's not a secret. I only met her yesterday." "She's a menace." Edd started to ask what Eddy meant but was interrupted by Ed. "Eddy is Jealous because Double Dee met a new pretty girl first and she doesn't want to give Eddy attention." The other two stared in disbelief as Ed became distracted once again by his fries, dipping them in a cup of gravy he brought from home. "Don't be stupid Lumpy." Eddy growled, picking up his half full tray "I don't give a shit about some weird chick, besides she's probably a duke." "Eddy! There is no reason to be crude!" Edd scolded following his friend to the trash. "Whatever" The other muttered. "Let's just get to class."
Math class passed Fairly quickly and with minor incident. Only an angry hiss from Eddy When Mona was called Ms, Kanker and which was accompanied by an angry glare when Said female leaned over and asked Edd to tutor her in the subject since she was 'complete crap'….her words.
"How the hell am I supposed to get you to help me if you're gonna be tutoring the she witch?" Eddy growled as they stomped off to Edd's art class. The taller male rolled his eyes. "First of all Eddy, Me helping you always inevitably leads to my completing your assignments for you, and secondly she's not a she witch." Eddy rose a brow. " You never complained before and of course she is, she's a Kanker and your little crush isn't going to change that."" I do not have a crush." Edd muttered " I have not spent an adequate amount of time with her to know if I could consider myself interested in her for anything other than companionship." This time it was Eddy who rolled his eyes muttering in disagreement as the bell rang.
The two parted ways with promises to meet up after school and Edd shuffled into the art studio. This was the only class Edd did not look forward to beside Physical education. He had always managed to find a way out of art class before but this year it was the only elective class that had an opening and he was forced to take it.
Placing himself at a random easel, the genius was slightly perturbed to realize that not only did neither of his best friends end up in the class, but no one from the cul-de-sac had yet to walk through the door.
"Geez, you're blind when you're not paying attention." Edd smiled widely as he looked up at Mona. "I am quite thrilled to see you." The girl took over the easel to Edd's left and winked at him. "What? Did yah miss me?" The boy blush and look down at his hands. "That would be an unfair question as I have not known you long enough to have developed feelings of longing when you and I are parted." The girl snorted and bumped Edd with her shoulder. "Relax Double Dee, I'm kidding." The boy nodded "I see, well I am happy to share this class with someone I can converse with, I am not very artistic."
Class began before Mona could reply and much to Edd's dissatisfaction the teacher was delighted in revealing that every student would find a partner to work on a group project that would be due at the end of the year. Edd felt a light nudge to his shoulder and turned to see Mona smiling. "I'll be you're partner, I'm good at art and can help you. Consider it a trade for you tutoring me in Statistics." Edd let out a breath of relief "That would be most welcome thank you."
The rest of class was spent brainstorming project ideas and working on a schedule for both the art project and Mona's tutoring sessions. Edd found himself surprised when the bell rang, signaling the end of the final class of the day. "So any plans for the rest of the day?" Mona asked as she leaned against the locker next to Edd's. " Nothing to much, just spending time with Eddy and Ed. How about you?" The girl shrugged "Gonna go home and ignore Lee and Marie, Maybe drag May to the park or something. She's been sneaking out lately and I haven't had a chance to spend some time with her." Edd nodded as he gathered his things. " So you don't get along with Lee or Marie but are close with May?" Mona shrugged. "Lee and I get on ok except when she gangs up on May or tries to order me around, I don't like authority. I'm protective of May because she is the youngest and gets shit on a lot, she's sweet just kinda lacking in the common sense department. And Marie and I? Well Hate is not a strong enough word. Anyways I'll see you tomorrow after school for tutoring."
Edd watched in confusion as the girl suddenly wandered off and turned to find himself face to face with a scowling Eddy and a confused Ed. "So she's stalking you now?" Edd rolled his eyes. "Of course not, we were merely discussing the scheduling for her tutoring and our project." Eddy's scowl darkened as they walked out of the building and headed for the bus. "So you two have a project too? When Are you gonna have any time for us?" Edd sighed as the trio claimed seats "Don't be ridiculous I will of course make time for you and Ed. That is why I combined Mona's tutoring time with Kevin's, I figure I can tutor them both at the same time and that gives me more time during the week. The shorter male practically growled as the Kanker group sidled into seats at the last moment and turned his eye back to the taller teen. "So She with AND Shovel chin? Sounds like a hell of a party." Edd did not miss the sarcasm in Eddy's tone and rose a brow. "I see you're still sore about the arrangement that Kevin and I made last year."
Suddenly Eddy's hands started flying around as he vented his outrage at Edd's choice to be helpful. " I mean seriously Double Dee, Having those two around you all the time is gonna be trouble you just watch!" The genius tuned out the rest of the shorter boy's rant and snuck glances at the Violet Hair girl laughing four seats in front of him. He felt himself blush as she caught his eye and flashed him a knowing smile and silently he thanked any deity above that Eddy was getting off the bus ahead of him so he missed the exchange.
Edd followed behind his two best friends as they headed to Eddy's house in order to work on the latest scam, HE glance across the street to the woods and smiled as he saw Mona wave before disappearing down the trail to the trailer park. He felt something inside him shift, he didn't know what it was or what it meant. Only that he liked it.
