Forecast: Cloudy with a chance of Rain
Location: Peach creek, Cul-da-sac
A Young boy walked into the halls of the school, He was of normal size, but looked very scrawny in stature, he had a plain orange shirt and a black hoodie, accompanied with purple pants, red socks and dark blue shoes, he was going to one of his classes as he was also admiring the aroma of the halls, hearing the teachers give their lectures in their rooms, and more importantly, the fact he and his friends finally made it to high school, the last step before college, and then the chance to become a full fledged responsible adult.
"Ah, the beauty of Education" He said with nothing but excitement "What wonders will you have for me today?"
As he soon looked around, he saw a bulletin for a sort of new experience, The young boy soon walked to the paper and then looked at the wording
Looking for young and Enthusiastic students to help 8 lucky students join our school for five months in our new 'Schoolers across the world program' do you have the determination and enthusiasm to welcome our neighbors of Inaba of japan? Sign up now!
He soon looked at the paper and read it carefully, it seemed new students were joining the school roster for a while, he soon smiled out of excitement and realized he and his other companions could get a chance to make new friends from across the world, this was a very exciting moment for the hood wearing lad, he soon signed his name "Eddward 'Double D'" he soon noticed no one else actually signed the paper, which was sad, but at least he knew he could get the chance to accompany new classmates to his home.
"Oh I'm sure the fellows will be excited to hear about this news!" He said as he soon ran off to his class, but soon realized he was running too fast, so instead he began to just downgrade to a power walk.
After School
"Sheesh sockhead" Said the smaller teen "I don't think, giving a tour of peach creek to some japanese guys sounds so exciting to me, besides, they have money in Yen, I can't make a profit from these guys with my scams!"
This was one of Double D's Friends, Eddy, He's the self-proclaimed leader of the Eds, he had a yellow shirt with purple collar and sleeves, and a red line on the right side, accompanied with blue jeans and red shoes, The two were walking home from school, while going to their friends Ed's house since he was home sick all day, Double D soon sighed and then continued
"Glad to know that you know what the currency in Japan is eddy…" Said Edd, unamused of Eddy's act of greed "This is a chance to get to know new and interesting people, make a fresh start in the lives of others, and more importantly, welcome them to our humble abode that is known as peach creek, doesn't that just sound invigorating?"
Eddy soon Yawns and then continues walking, he wasn't really the person to really make friends with complete strangers, when he saw somebody he didn't know or care about, he just decided to scam them out of their money (most of the times, he'd even scam his friends)
"Eddy please" Double D soon held both his arms together and looked at his friend with anguish in his eyes "This is a big opportunity for me, you and Ed to finally make friends from a distant place, and more importantly, we can show them all the wonders of our home, it can help us make a bond with these people and have a special conection with us and them"
Eddy soon sighed and rolled his eyes at the taller boy, he soon began to think, if by any chance their coming over, the school has to use their currency and give them american money right, so that means he COULD scam them out of their profits, right? It didn't matter, once he became rich he could just go to japan or something, he soon grinned and made his decision
"You know Double D" he said "You're right, maybe it's best if we hang out with these guys and make friends with them or whatever"
"Eddy you really mean that!?" said Double D with excitement
Eddy soon grinned and gave his friend a thumbs up, the other boy soon jumped up for joy as he soon gave his other friend a grateful smile
"Oh Eddy, I'm so proud of you, now come on, let's go and find Ed, he'll be very happy to know what we'll be doing!"
"Alright" Said Eddy as he followed his friend to Ed's house
Later
The boys soon walked to the house of their friend Ed, but Soon Eddy looked back at Double D who was now putting on protection suit to prevent him from being sick
"Sockhead…" said Eddy "What are you doing?"
"I'm protecting myself Eddy" Said Double D "I don't want to get sick and risk losing my perfect attendance because I got sick from Edd, besides, with all those germs, it could be hazardous to my health"
"Ed just has A cough" He said sounding a bit annoyed at the germaphobe "it's not like he's dying or anythi- Wait...Sockhead do you hear that?"
From Ed's room came some very up beating music with someone singing the song as well as Ed himself
"Hm...That sounds strange, were we scheduled to have a musical number right now?" Double D said as he soon checked his watch
"No way" Said Eddy "This isn't that kind of Fan Fic"
Eddy soon opened the door to see a Large young man with a green Jacket, with a T-Shirt with Red and White lines coming down horizontally with dark blue Jeans and black shoes, it sounded like Ed was feeling better, his room still covered with tissues and snot on the walls floor and ceiling, he soon looked at the two friends and then gave them a giant hug.
"EDDY, DOUBLE D!" Ed said happily as he soon let go of his friends "I just saw this Singer called Risette and she cured my sickness with her voice!"
"Ed" Double D started "I'm sure you probably healed from your sickness because of all the soup your mother and father gave you, Doesn't that sound more realistic?"
"I don't know Double D" Eddy Said "I mean, I it could be possible if a girl's really hot enough, but anyway, come on Ed, you can't even understand her, she was singing in Japanese."
"But Eddy" Ed Said "Music isn't something that you listen to for the lyrics, it's a way to listen to nice sounds and every time I see her she makes me feel queasy on the inside of my-"
"Whoa Whoa Okay we don't need to hear that!" Eddy said as he interrupted his large friend.
Double D soon smiled then took out a piece of paper with the information and the names of the contest winners.
Your Job is to provide the company of the classmates of

Your job is to welcome them to their home and show them where they need to go and make sure they do not do anything to get in trouble, or it will mean immediate termination from the school and an early trip back hope to Inaba, Good luck, and give them the good old fashion Peach creek welcome!
Ed's lips soon curved upward as he soon began to cheer for one of the guests that we're coming to the cul-da-sac.
"RISETTE IS COMING HERE!?" He asked excitedly "OH BOY OH BOY THIS IS SO COOL I GET TO MEET RISSETTE, I GET TO MEET RISETTE!"
Double D soon looked at the name of one of the guests then gasped, this was the first time anyone really famous came to the cul-da-sac, and it happened to be one of the most famous pop idols all around the world.
"Well now" Double D started "It looks like we'll be providing assistance to some celebrity of some sorts, that must be really exciting!"
Eddy soon grinned even brighter with this fact, they get to hang out with some famous celebrity, that must mean she must be banking in some fresh dough right? Of course she was, she's famous!
"Well" Said Eddy "I think it's best we hit the hay huh? it's already 6:00, So I'll see you guys later."
"W-Wait Eddy" Said Double D as he stopped his friend from leaving for a split second "We need to discuss what we'll be doing for tomorrow, since their coming to the cul-da-sac in three days, we need to prepare ourselves! I've already began reading the Japanese translator to make sure I learn a few phrases and sentences in Japanese."
Eddy soon groaned and then pulled himself away from Double D
"Come on Sockhead" Said the smaller boy "It's been a long day and we can figure all that stuff out tomorrow, besides as much as I'm proud of Ed for finally liking something thats human, I'd like to not hear 999 useless facts about Risette the super dee duper popstar."
"Alright Eddy…" Said Edd "I guess you can leave, but I asked the teachers to let us have the rest of the day to figure out what to do to welcome our new temporary neighbors, and don't worry, I asked to give us all our assignments as well, so we won't have to worry about-" At the time Double D was talking about Homework, Eddy had already left the room, and quite possibly the house, leaving the young brainiac to sigh
"Why do I even bother…?"
Later
Eddy was tired from his day of planning schemes for the upcoming students, but sadly he didn't have an idea that had any real way of scamming the new kids, he decided to quit and then laid down in his water bed
"Hah, new friends" Eddy Said "Give me a break, I mean, who would actually make friends with a complete stranger...I mean, sure the others forgave me but in the end when they found out about..him...b-but still, No way they can actually be friends with me, I'll just have to get some new suckers for saturday and for five months...alright, I better go to sleep before I continue to talk to myself." he said with a slight chuckle and then turned on his lava lamp them went to sleep
later Eddy soon woke up as he heard the sound of white noise from the other side of the room, he sighed as he soon got up and began to walk to the living room, he soon looked at the time from his watch as it said it was exactly midnight, obviously his dad must've slept with the TV on again.
"Hey Dad…" Groaned Eddy as he gave out a yawn "Do you have any idea what time it… is…?" he soon looked to see that his father was nowhere to be found, but then he looked at the TV.
This was strange, apparently Eddy's Dad was no where to be found, he wasn't on the couch or anything, he soon decided to turn off the Television set, but as Eddy was eating some food from earlier, he soon stepped on a jawbreaker then began to run on top of it then trip face first into the TV set, at this point you'd think he'd break the TV, but instead he went through the TV and then began to fall down to a portal of some sort, and as he fell, Eddy began to scream in fear.
He soon closed his eyes but then felt the falling stopped, he soon opened his eyes slowly then find a man sitting in a Limo, he was bald, but had hair growing from the back of his head, a black butler looking uniform, very large eyebrows, he also had pointy ears and a very large nose, he was also with a woman in blue, she had strange circles on her uniform as well as a book of some sort around her arms, she also had gray hair and looked quite beautiful.
"Welcome" Said the mysterious man "It seems you've stumbled upon here without knowing, allow me to introduce myself, My name is Igor I am delighted to make your acquaintance."
"H-Huh wait a second!" Said Eddy in a sudden outburst "Wh-Who are you, and where the heck am I!? Y-You better give me answers or I-I-I'll…do something!"
"My, very feisty aren't you" he said with a light chuckle "This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter, this my dear boy, is a room that those who only are bound by a contract may enter, why… it may even be a fate…that fits YOU in the future… now then… Why don't you introduce yourself?"
it was official, Eddy was losing it, but for some reason, he was almost obligated answer, he couldn't lie to him, or at least, he thought he couldn't, could he?
"No, don't be stupid" Eddy thought "J-Just tell him the truth and you'll be fine…"
He soon took a deep breath and answered the large nose having fellow
"E-Eddy…" he said as he was in a state of confusion and fear.
"I see" said Igor "Now then, lets take a look into your future shall we?" Igor soon made a blue card appear out of thin air
"Do you believe in fortune telling?" he asked as Eddy soon shook his head
"A-Ain't that a bunch of M-Mumbo Jumbo?" Eddy asked
"Well now…I wouldn't say that…" Igor said as soon made more cards appear "Each reading is done in the same cards… yet always different, I mean… life itself follows the same principles don't you agree Eddy?"
"No" He said impatiently "J-Just tell me my fortune so I can get out of here, please…"
This only made Igor chuckle as he soon moved Eddy's card face up to see that he had the Temperance in Reverse.
"Oh dear, The temperance in the reverse position" He said "You will soon have some sort of imbalance in your life, most likely that will be the key to make your contract… And the card indicating the future beyond that…"
He soon turned another Card right side up was the star
"The star, in the upright position" Said Igor "This particular card, represents Renewal and hope...quite interesting if I say so myself… It seems that you'll meet of a great mystery, and you must be the way of light"
"Wait, Great mystery?" Eddy said "W-What the heck does that even mean, like who are you, and why am I here!?"
Igor soon chuckled and then answered the boy's question the best he could
"My duty, is to assist you from the upcoming year, for if I do not, your future may be lost… But of course, We will not let this happen" he soon made all the cards disappear in thin air as if it was nothing
"Oh my, I've done it again" He said "I have forgotten to introduce my assistant to you, her name is Margaret, she herself is a resident here"
Eddy soon turned his attention to the quiet woman as she began to speak
"Good Evening" She began "My name is Margaret, I am here to accompany you through your journey"
Eddy soon got up and then looked around
"Okay, th-thats good and all but" he said "But what am I even doing here, who are you people really, WHERE THE HECK AM I!?"
"We shall discuss this another time Eddy" He said "But until then...farewell"
January 15'Th, 2012
Forecast: Sunny
Location: Peach creek, Cul-da-sac
Eddy soon Opened his eyes and saw that he was back in his bed, he looked around to see that everything was the same, was it all a dream? Was it some sort of weird dream?
"M-Maybe I shouldn't think about this whole thing…" He said nervously "I...I better get ready, those Japanese exchange students are coming here in a few days…"
He soon got up and ran to the closet to get his clothes, he didn't have time to take a shower so he just grabbed everything he needed for school and began to walk.
Later
All Three of the Ed's we're sitting down in a table, as Double D was discussing to Ed on what he needed to learn and what he needed to do in order to make his new guests feel comfortable, so he made about a three hour seminar of what not to do when encountering your favorite Idol, since Ed is a big fan or Risette, it was probably a good idea to tell him what he shouldn't do or to her, Eddy, was not paying attention, in fact, he was actually finishing his homework, he felt as if he needed to do the whole 'welcome to peach creek' thing, this caught Double D's attention, he soon stopped with his lecture and then looked at Eddy.
"E-Eddy?" he said "Your...doing your homework?"
"Yeah, What's it to ya huh!?" Eddy said
"I Apologize Eddy" he said nervously "I-It's just… You never do your homework… it's very… Unsettling to say the least… Is something bothering you Eddy?"
"..." he stayed silent, this made Double D worried, he soon walked over to his friend as he soon, sat down next to his smaller friend
"Eddy...What's troubling you chum?"
The Smaller Ed soon looked up at his two friends and gave out a deep sigh, what ever was bothering him, it must have been too tragic
"Like...I..." Eddy began "I had this, dream I think it was a dream but I...I don't know what the heck it was about...Like, Was it a dream, o-or was it some sort of weird hallucination, I-I'm seriously freaking out here man!"
"Eddy get a hold of yourself!" Double D insisted "I understand you're going through A lot of stress right now but I seriously Need you for this...Please Eddy, this is very important for not just me, but for you and Ed as well..."
MAybe that was it...was he just freaking out because he wanted to impress the new kids? sucker them out of their money...probably, he wasn't sure, so he nodded for Double D's sake, he then sighed deeply as he soon out his face down on the table.
"These new kids...what if their trouble or something?" He asked
"...Well..." Double D soon pondered for a moment then smiled
"We'll just have to wait and see Eddy"
