Author's note:
This fanfic is situated after the well-known and monumental 'Take this Ed and shove it' episodes. For the people that do not know where I am talking about: The last episodes of the fourth season of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In that episode, we get a little confuzed.. are the Eds old and were the episodes we saw just Eddy's memories of their young years, or is Eddy having a nightmare about becoming old?
Even though we will find out the truth in the upcoming fifth and sixth seasons, I'd like to present you my ideas...
"Eddy?"
Eddy could hear his name being called in the distance. He looked around himself, but only saw images of himself and his friends, being old, and then, all of the sudden, being kids again..
"Eddy? Wake up, Eddy. You're dreaming."
The voice became more clear as the images changed into a reddish color. Eddy finally noticed that his eyes were closed, and he was laying in the sun. Slowly but surely, he could also hear the sounds on the background.
"Eddy?"
He opened his eyes, and blinked as the sunshine shone brightly into them. When he looked around, Ed came into his vision.
The big guy smiled at him.
"Good morning, Cinderella!" Ed said happily.
"Aurora." a familiar voice corrected, "The fairytale you meanth is the Sleeping Beauty, and according to the fairytale of Grimm, the princess was named Aurora, also known as Briar Rose. Even though not many people know that... she's still known by the nickname Sleeping Beauty."
It was Edward who gave his friends the lecture. As Eddy looked over to his hat-wearing friend, he noticed some new things. Edd was no longer wearing his trademark black beany, and his black hair was flowing next to his face. Eddy knew that Edd had long hair, but it seemed to have grown a lot longer. Also, the red t-shirt and purple pants were replaced by an army-green, sleeveless shirt and darkgreen, baggy pants. As Edd was trying to adjust the snares of a guitar, Eddy took a closer look at Ed.
The big doofus hasn't changed a bit. He was still wearing his old clothes, and still had his happy look on his face. The only thing that might have changed was that he grew taller then he already was.
It all made Eddy wonder.
"Hey, Double-D, how long have I been out cold?" he asked.
"Uhm, about half an hour, I think. You still have fifteen minutes left until next class." Edd answered, brushing his hair out of his face.
Eddy was still wondering. All those scams and fun and laughter... were they realy memories? Were those just small dreams? And why did he dream about being old?
He thought he was going bananas. They seemingly have grown up, but still, he couldn't remember of what he did an hour ago, where he was at this very moment, and what his plans were for the future.
All became more clear when he saw a familiar figure running towards them. It wasn't a figure of one of the Cul-de-Sac kids, but still, he recognized her.
As the girl reached them, she sat herself next to Ed, who gave her a hug. She giggled, heavily breathing from all the running.
"Hi guys!" she said, smiling.
While Ed greeted her with a loud 'Hello Eden!', Eddy thought about how they met Eden...
Okays, end of chapter 1!
Please notice that I am still Dutch, and that english is a foreign language for me. So do not tell me that my grammar sucks until you can write a Dutch story without any mistakes in the vocabulary.
