A/N: This is my first Ed, Edd, n Eddy multi-chaptered story, and it takes place after the Big Picture Show, two weeks to be exact. The story will have a mention of that in this chapter. This is merely my opinion on what happened after the events of the movie.

And sorry if the characters seem a little out of whack.

Disclaimer: Antonucci owns everything. I own nothing except my ideas.

Chapter 1: Misplaced Memories

"We did it, Double D! We're finally in, baby!" Eddy could not stop celebrating. They really had finally gotten the other kids to like them.

Darkness. That's all he sees.

"Let's sing a song!" Ed exclaimed, an idea which Jimmy agreed with, because he began to sing.

He can't open his eyes.

"When you stub your toe and it hurts, you know~"

"Friends are there to help you~!"

He can feel four of his five senses working. He just can't see anything.

Because his eyes won't open. It's like something is keeping them shut.

These memories he sees eventually fade from his mind, and he cannot bring them back.

"Double D?" A girl is there with him.

Wherever he is. All he can see is darkness. He is in an abyss he cannot escape from.

"Double D, please open your eyes," a little boy begs him.

Apparently, that's his name.

Double D.

But why do these people call him so? His real name is Eddward.

"Sockhead, wake up."

He can feel himself shiver.

That's what the kids at his old school always called him. Because he often wore a ski hat, shaped somewhat like a sock. But now, he wears it all the time.

"Sockhead?" But this boy seems to really be worried. He doesn't appear to be a bully at all. "You're scarin' us now. Wake up, please."

He now has the ability to open up his eyes.

Although it felt more like paranoia was sealing them shut. After all, he has no idea where he is or who these kids are.

But he has the courage now. Perhaps, he can trust these people.

But there's always the off chance that he can't.

And that's why he opens his eyes slowly.

The first pain that alerts his nerves of its presence is in his head. His hands fly up to the top of his head.

"Sockhead, you're awake!" And he winces at the volume of the kid in the bowling shirt.

"Can you please not call me that?" Edd asks calmly, almost scared.

"B-But...you always let me call you that...what makes now any different?" His voice is quieter, as if he can sense something is wrong.

"I do not want to speak of the reasons why. Just please, do not call me that anymore," and their faces meet.

He was right. He's never seen this face before.

The kid had a scowl at first, but Edd observes it quickly change into a worried glance.

"So, Sock-...ahem, Double D, do you remember what happened?"

Edd raises an eyebrow.

"Maybe you oughta explain, Nazz..."

The blonde girl, beside her a little boy with a retainer, speaks up softly, "Well, long story short...we were having that party at Kevin's, you know, the one we all talked about for at least two weeks after the whole amusement park fiasco, and Johnny accidentally hit you with Plank and sent you flying head first into a wall. We all kinda shrugged it off, until Jimmy here noticed you were bleeding. Ed was the only one strong enough to lift and carry you back to your house, and Sarah had her mom get your mom to take care of you. Rolf managed to keep it wrapped long enough until your mother got home, but by then, you had lost a lot of blood. We only saw bits and pieces of the whole thing, but luckily Eddy here had seen it all, and so he was able to give a close to accurate picture of what had happened to your mom. That was last Saturday."

"You've been out for five days, Double D," the boy Jimmy adds. "You had us all so worried."

That sounded like a short story made long.

But...Nazz, Kevin, Johnny, Plank, Jimmy, Ed, Sarah, Rolf, Eddy...

Who were these people?

And why is he hanging out with twelve, thirteen, and fourteen year olds? He should only be five or six years old.

Edd catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror, in his bedroom apparently. He doesn't remember those house, only looking at it during the open house.

He himself is thirteen. He looks thirteen.

"Double D!" Edd jumped when he heard Jimmy call out his name, throughout the darkness of the greenhouse room. "You cross-pollinated a rose and a baby blue gym sock! Only hummingbird's wings could have done this! I believe you, Double D!"

His head is aching up a storm, and he is trembling, but he manages to shake out, "I apologize...but nothing rings a bell to me...now, please...l-leave..."

"D-Double D?"

"P-Please!" Edd grinds out. It was Eddy who had just spoken, and Edd wants to apologize for being so rude, but what he needs right now is to be alone.

A black-haired woman pokes her head in the door. "Kids, I think it's best to leave Eddward alone for now. Why don't you tell the other kids that he will be alright?"

The three kids in the room with him hang their heads, but they comply. "Yes, ma'am." And they leave him in solitude with his mother. Edd can understand why the kids went to his mother. She is a nurse, after all.

"Sweetie, is your head hurting?"

And the pain disappears. "Mother...who were those strangers?"

"Strangers?" She sounds surprised. "Honey, those were three of your friends. For seven years now. You really don't remember them?"

Edd shakes his head in response.

Eddy, Nazz, and Jimmy returned to the others, and Ed immediately went up to them. "Did Double D wake up?"

The lump had not been getting any sleep at all, due to pure worry over one of his best friends.

Nazz and Jimmy cannot answer, so Eddy replies for them, but when he speaks, it appears he's about to cry. "Yeah, but...there's just one problem."

"He cannot find his buttered toast?"

"No, Ed," Eddy nearly scolds him. "He can't remember any of us. He can't remember any of his seven years here at Peach Creek. He's got amnesia."

To Be Continued...
