"Eureka!" Eddward stood over his experiment, fixing his black ski hat. "The carbonatite rock, that was it all these years!"
The 28 year old had accomplished his goal, he was proud but, his brain told him it wasn't enough. He had to do more, for heaven's sake, he was a certified genius. And he had known it since he was tested, that day... when his friend, his greedy friend... Eddy was it, went too far.
Edd stood back, he felt dizzy. The skinny, pale faced man, stared at an empty pill bottle on his coffee table. He tumbled to the ground, his eyes closing.
Eddy sat with his feet up, in a dirty old tank top and ripped, baggy and faded old blue jeans. He stared at the small, and cracked TV. "28 year old Eddward, unknown last name, found passed out in his pent house due to lack of sleep." "Ed!" Eddy sat up squinting at the small picture of Double D.
"Ed, you idiot, get your ass over here!" He screamed. "What ya want!" Big Ed ran out the bathroom, stomping on the old wood floor. Ed looked at Eddy, and turned to the TV.
"Ya What?"
"It's Double- Dufuss."
"Who's Double Dufuss?"
"Double D, you dumb ass!"
"Gosh Eddy, it sure is him!"
"Yeah, no kidding!"
Eddy walked to his bedroom. "Where ya goin'?" Ed was dumbfounded.
"To the hospital."
Ed could hear the drawers banging. The tall Ed, walked to his room, ducking under the door frame.
Ed and Eddy walked through the hospital doors, and to the front desk. "Um.. Eddward the unnamed's room." The woman looked at the abnormally short man.
"Room 263"
They turned, hearing the woman mumble under her breath "Wow, that guy sure has a bunch of friends."
The two Eds went up the elevator...
"Ed, keep an eye on the floor number.." Eddy said biting his yellow nails. "Uh.. Okay Eddy." Ed bit his lip and stared at the numbers. 5 minutes later Eddy looked up, they were on floor 5.. the second time. "Ed, you moron! We were supposed to stop on Floor 2!" Eddy smacked the back of his empty head. Eddy pressed Floor 2 and watched as the buttons flickered. The two got out of the small elevator.
"259, 260-" Ed sang as he skipped down the white tiled floor. "263!"
Eddy slid in front of Ed and put his hand on the door knob. He slowly turned it. "Eddy, just open it!" Ed pushed the door open.
"Sleep little Edd boy, sleep, like victor the goat after eat a heap-" Rolf sang.
"Look who decided to show!" Kevin sat by Double D's bedside.
"Oh shut up!" Eddy snarled at him.
"Shh." Nazz stood by Johnny in the corner.
"Damn, it's like a reunion!" Eddy thought.
Jonny stared at Eddy with wide eyes, "Geez... he sure looks different... hey, he doesn't carry around that piece of wood anymore" Eddy continued, searching the room. Everyone was there, even The Kankers. Eddy's eyes widened, there was someone else, a little kid. Holding that piece of wood... Plank, it must be Jonny's kid. Double D's eyes slowly opened, he stared at the pack of people here for him... they were his old childhood friends, mostly enemies. "Jimmy...Ed...Rolf...Sara... Nazz..." Edd whispered, he stared at his arms. Although the man with the beanie never had believed in ghost... he was too smart for that nonsense, but being in the hospital had scared him. By the door was Eddy, the one who pushed everyone apart after high school graduation., everyone went their separate ways. And when they saw each other at the gas station or even on their way to work... all they did was look at each other for just a second, say just simply "hi", and turn away like they weren't all friends once. Eddy noticed Double D staring at him and awkwardly put his hands in his pockets. Maybe people do grow apart...
Jimmy was the one to break the ice, "Well, Edd... Hope you feel better, but look.. I gotta get to class." Edd nodded, and waved goodbye.
Standing next to him was Sarah, giving him the evil eye. "Actually, one day absent couldn't hurt." Jimmy stared at his old friend Sarah, regretting falling for the eye, like he was a child again. "Honestly, Jimmy... your absence in class may affect your degree. Feel free to leave as you please." Double D said, knowing the young student should leave. "I'll stay." Jimmy stated, looking at the pale man.
"Well... Double Dork, hows life?" Kevin smirked, still sitting by the patient.
"Kevin, please.. we are grown... and besides I've always known the true meaning of dork."
" Hey.. Double D... when you getting out?" Eddy said before Kevin could open his big mouth.
"Double D... no ones called me that in a while... Oh, um today."
" How about a party... kind of like a reunion?" Eddy smiled.
"And where would that be held ?" Edd looked at the former friend.
"Your penthouse, of course" Greedy Eddy proposed.
