DJG: I do not own Ed, Edd, N' Eddy, Nat Goldberg, Reverse!Kevin or Reverse!Double D! I am huge fans of them, however. I've read tons of stories about the Reverse versions of Kevin and Double D, but rarely ever find them in the same story. I always wondered how Kevin and Double D would get along with their opposites, so here you are! Enjoy! (Oh, and expect the possibility of it being cloudy with a chance of KevEdd!)

The town of Peach Creek was a peaceful one, with not much new happening outside of the cul-de-sac being built; that was ten years ago and nothing that major had happened since. Sure, there was the time the creek flooded the golf course by the river, but that righted itself in a week or so, and that really wasn't all that exciting. So when the neighboring town's school district filed for bankruptcy due to the lack of students and funds, the whole town was ablaze with gossip.

"Lemon Brook High School is closing down? How horrid!"

"Their swim team was amazing!"

"So what do you think is gonna happen to the kids?"

The remaining 42 children in the school district were going to be merged into Peach Creek High, and the old Lemon Brook school building would be torn down sometime in the next few months, once the desks, books, and other commodities the Peach Creekers could use were taken out of it. There was talk of keeping the auditorium and swimming pool standing, but the rest wasn't really worth saving. There were parts of the school that needed renovations or remodeling that had never been done, and plumbing that needed repairs as well. All in all, nobody with the funds to buy the school were interested in keeping it up to code.

This is where our story begins…

BREAK

Ed giggled to himself as he waddled down the hall, his mind on things such as comic books and video games instead of schoolwork. And that he had a destination in mind: the robotics room. He was on the hunt for his favorite hat-wearing friend and Double D was always in this particular classroom. Peach Creek Elementary didn't have any robotics classes, so once they had moved up to Peach Creek High, the smartest Edd had quickly signed up. Normally the class wasn't offered to freshman, but once the teacher realized Double D probably knew more about robotics than him, he had let him sign up last year. As it was right now, Double D was the only student taking the class during fourth period, so he had the room all to himself. The teacher normally took an early lunch break now, so Double D was completely alone. Ah, solitude.

Now the three Eds were sophomores; Eddy because he was held back due to so many suspensions, Ed because he was a naturally slow student, and Double D because he fell in an age bracket that dictated that he was only supposed to be a sophomore instead of a junior like almost everyone else from the cul-de-sac. There were some negative things about being young, after all. Rolf, Kevin, Nazz, and Johnny were all juniors, but Jimmy and Sarah were freshman. Plank was technically a junior too, but since the piece of wood mainly resided in Johnny's locker, no one really counted him.

Ed had finally made it to the robotics room. Peeking in through the window in the door, he could see Double D working on some sort of project, tweezers in his hand as he steadily began to tweak some miniscule part. Of course, that was when Ed threw open the door and rushed in yelling: "Hiya, Double D!"

With a small shriek, the hat-clad boy reacted as anyone who was surprised would: he flailed backwards and fell of his chair, taking his project with him. It shattered beside him on the ground, and he gave a small groan. "O-Oh dear! Curse your over exuberant entrances, Ed!"

Ed grinned cluelessly, helping Double D up. "And your hair looks nice today too, Double D!"

Double D sighed as he realized his words had once again gone over Ed's head. "I-I mean that you shouldn't sneak up on people, Ed! Now, what did you need?"

The taller boy stood there, blinking as he tried to remember what was so important. "Oh yeah! Eddy said that we are getting new suckers coming to our school today! I want suckers Double D! They are almost as yummy as jawbreakers or gravy!"

Double D blinked. "N-New suckers? Oh! I'm sure he's referring to the new students transferring from Lemon Brook, correct?" At Ed's blank look, he shook his head. "Never mind, Ed. That's wonderful news! Perhaps there will be some other children interested in robotics and the joys of learning!" he said somewhat dreamily, as he always did when talking about school.

Ed burped loudly and then giggled. "I hope they all bring their comic book collections!"

A new voice chimed in from the doorway. "Yeah? Well, I hope they bring all their cash!" Eddy cackled, making his way into the room. AS he headed towards Ed and Double D, he stepped on the previously discarded robot, squealing as he fell backwards and landed on his butt. "Gah! Pick up your junk, will you, Double D?"

The intelligent Edd gasped and lunged for the broken pieces, muttering something about 'spare parts' and 'clumsy rapscallions' as Eddy stood up and continued as if he hadn't been interrupted.

"Okay! So here's the scam, boys! When the new kids get here, they ain't gonna know how things work around here! I'm sure they all gotta get new library cards for the school library, so we're gonna make fakes and charge them for 'em! Five bucks apiece! Heheheh, it's perfect!" Eddy said excitedly, money sins in his eyes as he rubbed his hands together.

Double D piped up from his place on the floor. "It's impossible, Eddy. Those library cards are already made and laminated, they're in a folder in the principal's office. I just took it down to him last period, per the librarian's request."

Eddy blinked for a long moment before shrieking and lunged at the other boy, grabbing him by his hat. "You did WHAT?! Now my scam doesn't have a chance! Come on, Double D, you're supposed to be the smart one! What do we do now?"

Double D yelped and clung to his hat for dear life. "I-I don't approve of this plan anyways, Eddy! A-and I had n-no way of knowing about it to b-begin with!"

Eddy groaned and released his grip on Double D's hat, groaning as he flopped himself down in a chair. "Now what are we gonna do..?"

Ed, who had been standing there with a blank cheerful expression, looked up at Eddy's words. "Elementary, Eddy! We must find one of Rolf's chickens and then paint the roses red!"

Both Double D and Eddy stared at Ed before giving each other looks of disbelief. "Er, Ed, I don't believe that will work…but thank you for trying." Double D finally answered.

Eddy huffed impatiently. "Yeah, way to go, monobrow. We need a plan that will actually work."

Double D paused and rubbed his chin a bit. "W-Well, ah, there is a way you could get those library cards, Eddy…a-all you have to do is get a detention for after school today and then sneak a few of the cards out from the folder…" He was blushing bright red as he said this. Double D was correct in saying he didn't approve of this plan, but as his friend he felt obligated to help Eddy.

Eddy's eyes went wide as he grinned. "That's perfect, Sockhead! But why not all of them?"

Double D frowned, still more focused on his robot than this little money-making scheme. "Because, Eddy, if you take all of them it is more likely you'll be caught in the middle of this and have to return all of their money."

Eddy clung to Double D's shirt, as if scared of the thought. "Give it all back?! No way! Fine, I'll only grab a couple. Now, come on, Lumpy, we've got a detention to get! Let's go put ketchup in Kevin's gym bag again!"

"Okie dokie Eddy!"

And with that, the two Eds were gone, leaving Double D to sigh and see what parts of his robot were still repairable. It was supposed to be a project for the upcoming science fair, but it looked too damaged to be fixed by then…he'd have to come up with something else later, but for now, he still wanted to work on it. As he tweaked and prodded at it, he was too absorbed in his work to notice the door to the robotics room creak open nearly silently. A small figure about Double D's size set down his bag on the counter, before giving Double D a confused look. All he could see of him was his hat, bobbing slightly as he repaired the robot.

"…Eddward?"

With a small shriek of surprise, Double D jumped, the part he was trying to fix snapping off. He looked up at the boy in front of him and blinked. Huh…big, bulky glasses, a green sweater, and a large red hat on his head that said 'Quiz Bowl'…? Double D had never seen this student before. The boy seemed to be sizing Double D up as well, green eyes looking in confusion from his hat, to his face, to the gap in his teeth.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry! I thought you were someone else… and I made you break your robot…" the redheaded boy said ashamedly, rubbing the back of his head. Double D frowned a bit as he took in the three bangs poking out from under the kid's hat, the familiar face shape…this kid looked a lot like…

"Kevin? Hey, Kev, where'd you go, man?" called an unfamiliar voice. A very tall kid with teal hair was standing in the doorway, looking impatient.

"Yo, Baarbie, we gotta go! Lunch is the most important meal of the da- wait a minute. Edd? That you? Hell, you got shorter, man!" The kid leaned against the doorway, eyeing Double D confusedly.

The redheaded boy grumbled under his breath. "I am not a Barbie. Stop calling me that…"

Double D looked confused, giving the redhead and the newcomer a strange look. "I-I'm afraid we've never had the pleasure, a-and I'm not sure I can see the resemblance between him and a Barbie doll…w-wait, how do you know my name?"

The teal haired kid stepped into the room, giving Double D a close inspection before grinning cheerfully and sticking his hand out to shake. "Hey, you're not Eddward! At least, not the one I know! Oh, the nickname? This is Kevin Baar, but he sorta acts like a fragile little doll sometimes, so I call him Baarbie. The name's Nat, by the way."

Double D blinked and sprayed Nat's hand with disinfectant before shaking it. "E-Er…I'm Eddward, but my friends call me Double D." He was trying to wrap his head around the idea of a kid at this school who resembled Kevin the bully a great deal, and not only that, had a practically identical-sounding name!

Nat grinned again and pumped Double D's hand. "Far out! Hey, Kev, this kid looks like he'd be a good friend for you, you both seem to be drawn to the robotics room!"

At Nat's outcry, Kev blushed bright red. "I-I…yeah. I really like robotics, but our old school didn't have a class for it…I got excited to come see the room even though I'm not signed up yet…"

Double D smiled brightly, pleased to have actually found a new friend with common interests. "Oh, that's wonderful! Here, you may be interested in these new soldering tools we just inherited from the art metals class! Not enough students signed up, so we get the equipment this year!"

Kevin's eyes lit up as he saw the small precision blowtorch, among other things that would make soldering robotic parts much easier. "Dude..!' he breathed, itching to work on something.

Nat yawned dramatically from the doorway. "Come on, you two, you can play mad scientists later!" the older boy teased. "It's lunch time!"

Kevin looked very put out, but Double D offered a small grin. "Don't worry, we can resume our work after classes are over. It's important to eat a nutritious meal around this time of the day, as well."

Kevin sighed a bit glumly and nodded, pushing his glasses up. "Let's do it, then! Hey, you don't, uh…you don't mind if I sit by you for lunch, do ya? Nat and me normally sit together, but he found a few new jock friends and I think he wants to sit by them, but won't tell me."

Double D smiled while Nat looked embarrassed, all three of them having made their way to the lunch line. "H-Hey, Kev, I'll still sit by you, you know! We've been friends a lot longer…"

Kevin waved him off, smiling. "No, no, it's okay! It's important to make new friends, especially for you. You're probably going to be on sports teams with a lot of these guys anyway."

Nat gave him a grateful smile for his understanding. "Thanks, Kev, man. We'll hang out sometime after you two are done with your robot thing, if that's cool?"

Kev nodded. "That's cool, Nat. See you!"

Nat waved and headed towards the jock table, smoothly sitting down between a bushy haired and strong looking blond and the redheaded terror that had harassed Double D for most of his childhood. Oh, dear, he was looking at him!

The sweater clad Kevin adjusted his bow tie and gave Double D a confused look. "What's wrong, Double D?"

Double D shook his head and continued to hide behind Kev, hoping the other one had lost interest. "Th-that's…Kevin. He's…a bit of a bully, especially to students with more academic interests. He's not so bad when he's alone, but with the rest of his peers watching…erm…"

Kev frowned and turned to look over at the bully, realizing with surprise that the taller boy resembled him a good deal. "H-hey, he looks like me! What's his name again?"

"Why, that's Kevin Barr." a new voice said into Kev's ear. He squeaked and jumped, turning to look at the not-so-new face of one of his own personal harassers from Lemon Brook. Eddward Khouth. The black jacket clad bully had pushed himself right in front of Double D and was smirking at Kev. "He's practically your twin, but he isn't as smart as you. Don't worry, you haven't been replaced, Pumpkin."

Double D squeaked in terror. He had never really listened to Ed when he went on and on about doppelgangers from his comic books, but maybe he should have. If the old Kevin and the new Kevin looked similar, than this person might as well be his reflection. He was much taller, and older, but he looked identical to Double D, down to the gap in his teeth, the black beanie, and even his voice sounded similar! However it was apparent that Double D's inherent kindness was one thing this version of him didn't have. His words had a deceptively cruel, biting edge to them, and he just looked like trouble. Double D was wary of him immediately.

Kev's face was red from how close Eddward had been, but he managed to step back a bit. "Please, Eddward, just, leave me alone, okay?"

Eddward made a mock pout. "Oh, have you replaced me already? How sad. Hey, adorable." He shot the last line towards Double D, who squeaked and pulled his hat down over his eyes. Eddward chuckled and returned his attention to Kevin. "Anyways, Pumpkin, I need your assistance in repairing something of mine. Come over to my house after school and I'll show you, got it? You know what'll happen if you don't show."

Kevin's face turned red, but he nodded.

Eddward grinned, showing off his gap. "Excellent. See you around, then. Goodbye, sweetheart and Pumpkin." With that, the beanie-clad bully vanished, disappearing into the crowd of students. Double D pulled his hat back up and looked around nervously.

"K-Kevin, wh-who was that?"

Kevin looked just as flustered as him, re-adjusting his bowtie. "I, uh…that's Eddward. Eddward Khouth. He's my…um. I'm not sure, actually. He's nice to me when we're alone, but he's a real ass at school."

Double D paused, thinking. "…Is frenemy an inappropriate term?"

Kevin gave a solemn nod. "Yeah, that's about right."

DJG: Hello, and welcome to the end of the chapter! In case anyone was wondering, Reverse!Double D's full name comes from the real voice actor of Double D, who according to Wikipedia is sometimes credited as Samuel Khouth. It also said that Kevin's voice actor is sometimes incorrectly credited as a misspelling of Barr, and is credited as Baar. Hence, Double D's full name is Eddward Vincent, Kevin's real name is Kevin Barr, Reverse!Double D is Eddward Khouth, and Reverse!Kevin is Kevin Baar. I'll be doing my best to make Kevin and Reverse!Kevin easily distinguishable, but let me know if it isn't clear who is who. Hope you enjoyed!
