"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE LEAVING, SOCKHEAD?!"

Edd sighed. He knew Eddy would react this way...as well as Ed, who was currently crying loudly onto Edd's shoulder as the quiet boy rubbed small circles on his back in a vain effort to comfort him.

"I'm sorry, Eddy, but my parent's think this is what's best for me. I'll be spending my freshman year with family in Colorado. They think it'll be a good experience for me,"

"What's that?" A new voice interrupted. "The Double Dork is moving?" Sure enough, coming around the bend was Kevin, walking alongside his bike, Nazz behind him.

"Oh...H-hello, Kevin...Nazz..." Edd greeted. "No, not moving really...Just staying in Colorado for my freshman year,"

"Where will you be staying, Double D?" Nazz questioned, looking curious.

"With some family...I haven't exactly met them, but the father is my own father's younger brother..." Edd explained.

"So you're uncle...When are ya taking off?" Kevin questioned, trying to look casual, though Edd detected a note of something even if he wasn't quite sure what it was.

"Tomorrow morning...I only have time to say goodbye and pack my things," Ed sobbed louder at the sound of that, clinging tighter to Edd's shirt. "B-but...I will be sure to write and call...I don't want to loose touch with everyone here, after all...a-and I'll be back in the summer, once classes are out again," Edd continued, desperate to cheer Ed back up.

"Yeah, yeah, just be sure to send money!" Eddy demanded, crossing his arms stubbornly over his chest. "Just because you're not here doesn't mean that you can't help out me and Ed!"

Edd frowned at that. "Excuse me, Eddy, but what makes you think that I'm going to go along with your schemes when I'm practically across the country?" (A/N: okay, so I have no idea where the hell Peach Creek is supposed to be...I'm only guessing it's location based on what the setting looks like...Please bear with me...)

Eddy glared at him, not liking the show of defiance. "Look here, Sockhead, you're not getting out of your part of the work that easily!" Normally Eddy would try to show a little restraint when the people he wanted to scam were around, but the knowledge that his best asset was leaving seemed to take a toll on his already poor judgement.

Nazz and Kevin just watched on they caught that, rather than back down, Edd's cheeks were becoming flushed with anger and was glaring back. "Eddy, I'm not going to make a poor impression on the family members kind enough to take me in! And besides, it's listening to you that all of this is happening now anyway!"

"You sayin' it's my fault?!"

"That's right! It is your fault! You and your stupid scams!"

"Stupid?! My plans are not stupid!"

"Then name a single one of them that has ever worked!" At Eddy's angry silence, Edd huffed and stormed away, for once happy to be rid of Eddy's idiocy for longer than a few hours at night.
