Edd was packing away the small amount of belongings he'd brought back with him. He had finally finished and put away his bag when he remembered Rose's phone call. He quickly pulled out his phone and found her contact name. the phone rang three times before she picked up.

"Rose, it is me, Eddward… I'm calling to ask what you wanted with me earlier when I was too busy to talk."

There was a short pause before he heard Rose's voice on the other end "Oh! Edd! You took too long so I couldn't be bothered waiting I'm already heading over!"

"H-heading over… What on earth are you talking about?"

"My parents were being totally lame… There's no way I hang around there for summer listening to them nag me! I'm coming to stay with you!"

"W-what? That is not acceptable! You cannot just come here and demand to stay for the summer… That… That's three months!"

"Ok! See you soon!"

"Listen to me right now! You go right back home! I will not-" but it was too late, Edd could hear loud beeps signalling the end of the call.

Kevin went for the door as soon as he heard the dork yelling from across the road. He was surprised, to say the least, to find three teenagers standing out the front of Edd's home. At the front of the small trio stood a girl with dark pink hair, dragging an angry looking boy behind her and right behind him was another boy, this one with a ridiculous grin. He jogged over, seeing other cul-de-sac kids coming out of their houses to see what was going on.

"Rose, you cannot just come to my house and demand I let you, Rave and Joshua stay for the summer! Did you not even consider how it might inconvenience me?"

The girl with the pink hair, Rose pouted, "C'mon, Edd! It'll be super fun! All your boarding school friends and all your cul-de-sac friends you always talk about!"

"I would much prefer to finally be able to sleep without a roommate actually… no offense Rave. Speaking of which; just because you were unhappy with how you were to spend the summer why did you find the need to drag Rave and Joshua here as well?"

Rose stepped forward, dragging the boy whom Kevin guessed was Rave, "I'll have you know Josh was really excited to come and Rave may have taken a little more convincing but he came around eventually as well!"

Kevin didn't think he'd come around at all, he looked like he'd rather be anywhere instead of where he was right then. Rave looked like he was about to say something when Nat strode forward with Nazz. God damn it, Kevin thought when he saw him, does he never go home?

"hey, hey, hey, what's goin' on over here then?" he asked walking over to Edd and wrapping an arm over his shoulders.

Edd looked up at him and stuttered, "My f-friends here expect me to let them s-stay for the entire summer! Q-quite preposterous c-considering I lack a guest room and three months is an awful long time!"

Nat looked over to where Kevin was standing and winked, "Well I think I have a solution that'll make everyone happy!"

Oh no… This isn't going to be good! Kevin thought, coming forward so he might shut Nat up before he could spew whatever idiotic idea he had.

"Edd, first off; are you okay with letting one person stay over at your home for the summer- if you're comfortable with them?"

"I-I suppose…"

"OK! Well Kevin has a guest room with two beds and his parents are away for the summer! So, if Kevin here stays at your house then the two guys can sleep in the guest room and this lovely lady can have Kevin's room! Everyone wins!"

"What?" Kevin had finally reached Nat and he hit him over the head, "You expect me to agree to that?"

Nat grinned up at him as he moved his arm off of Edd's shoulders, "Come on, Kev! It'll make everyone feel better! Plus, you'll get extra catch up time with Double D!"

"Double D?" Rave had managed to detach himself from Rose and looked slightly confused at the nickname.

"Uh… Yeah it's what we call… Uh… Edd here. We have two other Eds in the cul-de-sac so it's easier…" Kevin muttered looking over at Edd's boarding school friends, are these people really expecting me to let them live in my house?

"Double D… Double D. Double D~!" The girl Rose was trying out Edd's nickname while Edd became more and more flustered.

"Excuse me, but there are more pressing matters than my nick name! Kevin has not agreed to letting you people stay at his house so I don't know what you will do instead…"

"W-what?"

"What is it, Kevin? You didn't seem like you agreed to it…"

Kevin stared at Edd, "I-I didn't, not really, but the way you're talking… It's not like you would have agreed either!"

"I don't see why I wouldn't…"

"Really? You'd be okay spending three months with me in your home?" he asked sarcastically.

"Well, I do admit it wouldn't be completely comfortable but considering how stubborn Rose is I doubt we would find a better option…"

Kevin looked at the others, Nat was smirking, Rose was batting her eyelashes at him and pleading and Josh was smiling hopefully. Rave on the other hand didn't look like he could care less. I'm going to regret this…

"Fine."

"Yeeesssss!" Nat cried, fist pumping, "Come on I'll help you pack some clothes, I mean you can always go back to get more but I'm sure you'd like to clean up your stuff as well!"

"Th-thank you, Kevin!" Edd seemed very relieved, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience…"

"No problem, dorko." Kevin muttered as he was pulled by Nat back to his house.

Seeing the problem was resolved the other cul-de-sac kids wandered back to their houses leaving Edd and his boarding school friends alone.

"This is going to be so much fun!" Rose cried jumping up and down like a little kid, "I should call Samson to see if he wants to come over for a day or two!"

"Really!" Joshua all but screeched, catching Rose's excitement, "Are you going to call him?"

The two continued to chatter and Edd smiled at Rave who still seemed a little annoyed at being in peach creek. Edd didn't say anything but he found it a little odd considering Rave was an orphan.

It was a long time before Joshua and Rose had calmed down.

"Am I a great friend or what?" Nat laughed when they were in Kevin's room cleaning and hiding the dirty magazines.

"I'd say 'or what'…"

"Aw, come on! I scored you three months living with your boo!"

"I thought I said I'm not gay… Didn't I say I'm not gay… I could of sworn I said I'm not gay!"

"Whatever, babe- keep lying to yourself, then."

"You're an idiot."

Nat opened up one of the magazines he'd been putting away and scanned through it, "Idiot and proud! But seriously man; if you're ever even a little curious about your sexuality, you can tell me- I won't judge."

"Look Nat no matter how many times you say 'I can trust you' I won't magically become gay!"

"No matter how many times you say you're not gay I won't believe you!" Nat laughed hiding the last magazine in a lockable draw.

"Honestly, Nat! What am I supposed to do then?" Kevin was quickly losing his patience.

Nat shrugged, "Admit you're gay… C'mon, even I like seeing a nice, little bit of man ass every now and then"

Kevin shook his head, "You're a complete moron…"

Nat laughed, "Like I said before; idiot and proud!"
