The following day seemed like any other day for the neighborhood kids but Double D and Marie knew differently, for they knew what transpired last night in the woods surrounding the cul-de-sac. At Double D's house, our favorite sock bearing teenager Double D wakes up when his alarm clock radio goes off blaring the music of Imagine Dragon.
"I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive"
Double D, whose memories of yesterday still fresh in his mind, allows a broad smile to cross his face, before he walks over to his alarm clock and turns the alarm off. Double D sets his sock cap on his dresser before picking new clothes to put on after his shower; after his shower Double D puts on his normal clothes that he always wears to school, and quickly grabs a pop-tart before heading downstairs to begin his journey to meet up with Marie.
At the trailer park, a certain blue haired girl receives the same wakes up call; just like Double D, except to her favorite song by Billy Talent.
"Silent night for the chorus for the rest of my life
Silent night for the rest of my life
Violent knight at the edge of your knife
Forgive me Father… won't make it right
Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night at the edge of your knife
(You're guilty."
Not being a morning person like her boyfriend, Marie lazily got out of bed and after several times attempts of attempting to turn off her alarm with her eyes barley open just rages out and rips the chord from the wall socket. Preparing to start her day, Marie hears her phone vibrated; checking she notices she got a text from her Double Dreamy.
"I'm just leaving; meet me in the junk yard by the old van."
"Sure pumpkin." Marie responds before closing her phone.
Setting her phone down, Marie uses her palms to rub the sleep out of her eyes before picking out her new clothes for school. After her shower Marie walks into the kitchen to make up a quick PB&J sandwich before leaving to meet up with Double D. Marie spares the clock one last glance to see that she is going to be late if she doesn't hurry. Marie ran as if Hermes himself gave her his winged shoes, with only the pure desire to spend quality alone time with her Eddward, Marie made it in record time to the junk yard when where she saw Double D leaning against an old funky looking van. Marie crept around the van so not to be detected by Double D to spook him when she made herself known.
"Hiya Dreamboat." Marie announced, causing Double D to slightly jump in a panic.
Double D recognizing the voice of the girl he loves turns around and is awed struck at the sight that he beholds. Marie is wearing some dark green denim jeans, a black Billy Talent t-shirt, and a pair of black hi-tops sneakers. Double D's only response is incoherent babble but he quickly recovers his senses and complements Marie on her attire.
"Why hello Marie, I must say you look splendid this morning." Double D says in his normal gentlemanly fashion.
Marie blushes and giggles, "Thanks Stud, now what do you say we have some fun before we go to school."
Double D realizing that what Marie just said wasn't a question so he had little to no reason to go against her plan, so he moved forward taking her into his arms and connecting his lips to hers. Although what the kiss lacked in the passion that occurred the night before, it by far made up for in the love the two teenagers felt for one another. After the kiss had died down the pair separate resting each other's foreheads on the others eyes closed and breathing heavily: before they open their eyes, Double D wordlessly asking if she was ready to walk to school. Marie's only response is to grab his hand and start walking in the general direction of school. The newly formed couple enjoys their time walking alone, and enjoying the privacy of being able to hold hands without people gawking and starring which they know will happen once they get to school. It was a 30 minute walk to school but even that wasn't enough for the two teenagers; they spent the time talking about how they will they will tell people about their relationship, and how people will in fact take it.
"I'm most concerned how your sisters, Ed and Eddy will handle the news." Double D states, while looking straight ahead
"Don't worry about my sisters. Why are you concerned about Ed and Eddy, will you break up with me if they don't approve?" Marie asks dropping Edd's hand stopping to give Double D a glare that would make Batman quake in his boots.
Double D panics so he quickly grabs both of Marie hands, kissing both of them on her knuckles before saying, "No, of course not. They are my best friends practically my brothers, I just simply wish for them to accept us. If they don't then our friendship might end, if they can't accept us and our love. I love you Marie. NEVER forget that."
Marie smiles and blushes ever so slightly at Double D's affection, and his confession of love. "I love you too Edd and you BETTER not forget it either. And I'm flattered that you would give up your friends for me, let's just hope that you don't have to."
Edd and Marie continue the rest of the walk in a comfortable silence, knowing what needed to be said was already out in the open. When Edd and Marie walk through the front door of the school, Double D and Marie notice that there were no students or faculty members in the halls. Double D ponder why that is, while Marie couldn't care any less; so he looks his watch and checks the time.
"Oh dear Marie, it appears we are tardy this morning." Double D says looking up at Marie, to see a devilish grin crossing her face.
'God that smile indeed can't be a good sign. How can something so terrifying grace such a beautiful face?' Double D wonders to himself.
Double D feels Marie's hands run up his chest to the back of his head, before pulling him into a quick kiss sending electricity through their bodies.
"Then maybe we should ditch the rest of the day and have some fun stud muffin." Marie whispered the last part into Double D's ear, obviously not a question.
Double D blushes slightly, but decides he can't be as lenient as he was earlier gives Marie a stern look. "Marie you know we can't do such a thing. We CAN NOT jeopardize our school academic."
Double D grabs Marie's hand giving her a reassuring squeeze, as if saying he would love nothing better than to do just that. Marie gives a fake pout but gives into her boyfriend's logic.
"Fine Dreamboat, but you owe me. Buzz kill." Marie added before she led Edd into the school office to grab some tardy slips for class. Marie and Edd walk into the office where they are greeted by the front desk worker Betty.
"Good morning Marie, I see you're late again. Oh and Eddward what brings you here this morning?" Betty greeted the two students.
"Yeah I'm late again and so is my Double Dreamy here. So if you could give us some tardy slips, we will be on our way." Marie replies to Betty for both herself and Double D.
"And why are we late today?" the office worker questions, looking up seeing a pink coloring Edd's cheeks.
This time Double D was the one who answers for Marie and himself. "Marie and I lost track of time walking to school this morning but I can insure you it won't happen again. We have no excuse."
Betty spares the couple a glance before writing the slips and informing them that they will have detention after school today after school for having an unexcused tardy. Double D grabs both his and Marie's slips before exiting the office.
"I would like the honor of walking you to class, my blue haired angel." Double D says bowing ever so slightly, offering his right hand to Marie.
Marie blushes and mentally swoons, happy that Double D even after they got together is still the same gentlemen. Marie extends her left hand firmly grasping his right before happily walking to her first class, where they will have to separate before Double D has to go to his first class. The pair arrive at the door to Marie's first class, in which Double D gives Marie a quick peck on the lips; leaving her smiling from ear to ear, when she enters her classroom her classmates including her sisters and the Ed boys look at her questioning as she sits down instantly drifting into la la land.
"What's wrong with your sister, Kanker?" Eddy questions Lee with his distain prominent in his voice.
Lee snarls and looks down at Eddy, saying "I don't know shrimp!" "But I intend to find out." Lee adds turning her head towards her younger sister.
Double D walks to his first class. His hand feeling cold and empty without Maries hand in his; as Double D reaches the classroom, he remembers that he only has three classes left until he sees his Marie again. At lunch where they planned on making the knowledge of their relationship known to all, including the Ed's and Kanker sisters. Double D enters the classroom with a smile his classmates have never before seen on his face, a mixture of anxiety and pure bliss.
What seemed like forever for the students of the high school seemed even longer for Edd and Marie; they promised to meet each other at the entrance of the cafeteria before they divulge their relationship to everyone. Edd and Marie both ran from their respective class, meeting at the entrance to the cafeteria. The whole cafeteria stopped dead quite when Edd and Marie walked through the doors holding hands and smiling at each other; the pair walk to an empty table in between the tables which sat the Ed's and Kanker's sat so not to alienate one and not the other. Once they sat down everybody in the cafeteria started chattering with one another about what they just witnessed between an Ed and a Kanker.
Some of the things that the pair heard around the cafeteria were, "Did she threaten him?" "Did he finally snap?" "Did she blackmail him?"
And the only two voices of Nazz and Rolph who yelled positive words of encouragement, "It's about time!" "It's as you say about time smart Ed boy."
Nothing happened for the rest of lunch except for when Nazz, Rolph, and Marie sisters came over demanding to know everything, how they got together, when it happened, and if they kissed yet. Marie and Edd take turns explaining the events of last night when they were both interrupted by the angry tone in Eddy's voice.
"WHAT the meaning of this Sockhead! Not only did you start dating someone without telling us, but with a Kanker no less." Eddy demands to know snarling at both Double D and Marie.
Before Edd, Marie or any of the other people at the table could retort; Eddy storms off not sparring anybody a second glance, leaving Ed looking at Edd and Marie in what appeared to be deep thought. To Edd it seems all of his worst fears are coming to life, Eddy just abolished their friendship and it appears the big lovable oaf Ed is about to follow in the footsteps of his shorter friend. The kids all stare blankly at Ed while he just continues to stare in deep thought at Edd and Marie; May not being able to take it anymore walks over to where Ed stands and waves her hand in front of Ed to get his attention. At first she fails over and over again but instead of getting angry but such circumstance, she grows more concerned for the Ed that she loves. May simply just decides to give Ed a wet willie yelling his name, which proves to work for Ed snaps back to reality.
"Are you alright Big Ed?" May asks Ed her concern prominent in her voice.
"Of course, I'm most sorry May if I caused you any concern for my will being. Thanks for that concern" Ed turns from May to his friend Edd and Marie before speaking once again.
"Although it hurts that you didn't tell Eddy nor myself when it first happened and we had to find out with everybody else; it is your life and I will respect your choices, lord knows you have done that for me." The calmness and maturity leaves Ed's eyes as he turns back into his normal self, yelling "Friend of Edd's is friend of Ed's."
Double D and Marie share a look happiness at the acceptances of Ed before showing their gratitude. "Thanks Ed you're a true friend." Marie states giving Ed a grateful smile.
"I concur with Marie Ed, what you just did show great maturity and the depth of your character." Double D states while placing his hand on Ed's shoulder, applying slight pressure, to show great gratitude.
"Butter toast Double D and Marie butter toast." Ed replies to both Double D and Marie in his own way of simply saying 'you're welcome.'
Ed nods at his friend Edd and his new friend Marie before smiling at May as he walked away to confront Eddy. As Ed walked away it finally hit May like a ton of bricks, Ed just smiled at her. May starts jumping up and down, not able to contain her excitement.
"Oh my God I can't believe it, Big Ed just smiled at me. Does that mean he likes me, does that mean I have a chance?" May asks the last part to Marie.
"Maybe one day May, maybe one day." Marie replies before the lunch bell rings signaling the student to go to their next class. Marie grabs Double D's hand before walking off to face life, know that they have each other in their times of need.
