I don't own EEnE.
Mother and Father got new job transfers recently and little Eddward was taken along to their new home across the country. He was a little scared, but also excited to meet a whole new set of people.
The moving truck had already brought all of their things to their new house and now Eddward sat in his car seat while Mother and Father drove in the front seat and talked about their job. Eddward knew better than to disturb them while discussing work so he busied himself with the scenery rushing by.
The big city buildings had long since passed and now they were passing by a large field of wheat. There was a small town a little further ahead and that was where home was now.
Mother and Father pulled into a little cul-de-sac at approximately two-thirty. Two-story houses lined the one-way road. They were all uniform, but with little differences to each for the different families that lived there.
Eddward saw a boy and girl staring at his car as they passed by to their new house. Maybe he could introduce himself once he'd helped Mother and Father with anything they needed?
Father pulled into an empty drive and he and Mother got out, inspecting the front lawn and face of the house. They looked pleased.
Eddward unbuckled himself and carefully hopped out of the car, following his parents silently, taking in all the new things.
The inside was full of carefully labeled boxes. Their furniture had white sheets over them and upstairs, Eddward found his room, since it held the boxes with all his things.
He busied unpacking, placing his books on his new desk, standing on his tiptoes to reach over the edge. His baby cactus, labeled Jim, was placed in the window sill for some much needed sun. He found his label maker and got to labeling all his new things; his bed, closet, door, window, desk.
Once everything was in its carefully designated place, little Eddward make his way downstairs to help with Mother and Father. He searched the living room and then the kitchen and found a sticky note hanging off the counter at his eye-level.
Dear Eddward,
Mother and I have gone to purchase a few groceries for the week. Please unpack the bathroom amenities for the according bathrooms.
Love, Father
Eddward disposed of the sticky note and hurried to complete the task his Father left him before his parents returned home. He found the boxes labeled for each bathroom and unpacked and settled everything into its rightful place.
Just as he was finishing, there was a knock on the door. Eddward hurried down the stairs, careful to hold the banister like Mother always reminded him to, and answered on the third knock.
"Hello, I'm Eddward," he said as he opened the door. He smiled wide, showing off the gap in his teeth. The girl and boy from earlier were standing there.
The girl giggled. "Hello, Eddward. It's nice to meet you." She giggled some more and nudged the boy in his ribs.
"Yeah, hey."
"It's a pleasure to meet you both," Eddward said politely.
"I'm Nazz, by the way," the blonde-haired girl said. "And this is Kevin. Do you wanna come play with us? We could show you the other kids here? There's lots."
"I'm not sure I should leave, just yet, Nazz," Eddward said. "Mother and Father left to purchase a few groceries and I don't think it wise to leave without their acknowledgment."
Nazz frowned, but nodded, and Kevin shrugged.
"I'd love to accompany you later, though. I'm very excited to meet the acquaintance of my new neighbors.
"Just steer clear of the Eds," Kevin said.
Eddward didn't quite follow his train of thought. "Excuse me, Kevin, but what do you mean by that?"
Kevin shrugged. "The Eds. They live down the street. Their dorks."
"Well, even so, I think it's intriguing that there are others so nearby who share a variation of my name."
"Anyways," Nazz cut in. "We'll see you later, Eddward! You should totally come over once your parents get home!"
