Welp, this is probably the longest chapter in this fic, and we're only at the third chapter right now. (This chapter is currently standing at 9,113 words, not accounting for word-count resulting from authors' notes.) I decided to post this earlier than scheduled, as I already had one-third of this chapter written by the time I had published the second chapter, so I hope you enjoy the early update.

Once again, I thank you all for taking your time to enjoy Ed, Edd n RWBY and your favorites, reviews and follows. Due to low reception though, I'm still going to respond to the individual reviews made between the last update and this one.

As always, the rest of the author's note will be appended at end of this chapter. I also have an announcement to make at the end as well, pertaining to the idea of pairings in Ed, Edd n RWBY.


Ruby went down the steps of Peach Creek, sighing with the utmost relief that her first day of school had went by without any trouble whatsoever. She can finally now return home, get on her GS3 or maybe Vitae, maybe play some Mask 4: Emerald and finish off the final, tough-as-nails dungeon. Of course, she'll have to do her homework before then. Thankfully, the homework load wasn't too big. Or maybe instead of playing Mask 4, after her homework of course, she should try leveling up her real-life social stats so she doesn't have to be that awkward, shy kid who's actually a genius.

Last she checked, her Expression and Courage levels were both currently Sucked.

As she continued to consider her options, two people popped up right in front of her and Ruby found herself stopped in her tracks. She realized they were Ed and Eddy, her new 'friends,' or so they had claimed.

"Ed? Eddy?" Ruby noticed the lacking of one of their friends. "Where's Double-D?"

Eddy just smirked. "Oh don't worry about Double-D, he's just studying with Pyramid."

"You mean Pyrrha, right?"

"Who cares, same thing, right?" He gestured for her to come with him. "Anyway Red, I got something cool to show you and the others. Wanna come with?"

Cool? What kinda cool was Eddy talking about? And did he say there were others coming with him?

"Eddy, right?"

Thankfully, Blake came in just at the right moment. Ruby saw her descending the stairs and approaching them, looking as quiet as ever. "Have you seen Double-D anywhere? I-I can't find him."

"Double-D is studying with Pyrrha right now, Blake!" Ed said before patting her head. "But don't worry, for I am filling in for Double-D for today!"

Blake frowned, both unsure of Ed's hand and anxious about her stepbrother's anxious. "Um, thanks Ed, but…"

"Cool, now let's get going you two!" Eddy ran around behind them and began pushing them together down the sidewalk. "You guys are gonna get your socks knocked off when you see this!"

Panic broke out in Ruby's voice. "B-But I don't wanna get my socks knocked off! I like my feet warm and fuzzy!"

"Don't your feet need to breath, Ruby?" Ed ran in front of the girls in that strange, airy gait of his.

Ruby blinked. "Uh, what? People don't breathe through their feet, Ed…"

"Just ignore Monobrow, Red."

"I got a name, you know!"

"Yeah yeah yeah, I know, Riding Hood, whatever, now come on!"

In spite of Ruby's protests Eddy had pushed the girls all the way to the playground of the Cul-de-Sac, where a small crowd of kids stood there at the entrance. When they reached the playground's entrance, Eddy parked Ruby and Blake right behind Jaune, Nora and Ren before zipping off to Lord knows where.

"Uh," Ruby glanced at Double-D's stepsister. "Blake, right?"

"Yeah. You Ruby?"

Ruby nodded. "Yep, that's me alright."

"What's exactly going on here?"

To be honest, Ruby was wondering why she, Blake and the other transfers were standing in front of the playground entrance. She shook her head, eyes narrowed. "I have no idea."

Then they all heard an engine roaring down the Lane. Was there a car coming down this narrow alleyway? They all looked down to the right, only to back away as a giant, cardboard box with wheels, drawn in the likeness of a bus, rolled right past them. The box bus stopped exactly right at the entrance, and when the ladder, cobbled out of rope, plank and kitchen utensils, rolled down Eddy had jumped onto the ground wearing a hula shirt, sunglasses, straw hat and a camera.

"Hello suckers– I mean, newcomers to Peach Creek!" Eddy flamboyantly spread his arms out. "Welcome to Eddy's Deluxe Tourline! It's the swankiest, the most hippest, but not too expensive tourline in the Cul-de-Sac, and this time we're offering special new offers to our new neighbors who just moved in here!"

Jaune's eyes became wide with awe. "Whoa, a deluxe tourline?"

"We have to get on this tourline, Ren!" Nora squealed with excitement as she crushed Ren in a bear-hug. "It sounds like fun, don'tcha think!? Plus we'll get to know everything about the Cul-de-Sac!"

"Uh," Ren gasped for air. "Huh… ack!"

"I don't wanna hear no lip from you, Ren!" Nora happily crushed Ren in her death grip even more.

Blake stared at the cardboard bus. "Uh, nice bus, Eddy…"

"You really think so!?" Eddy hopped right front of Blake with a squeal. "Oh say it ain't so! You get the front seat, my treat!"

Disturbed by Eddy's leering, Blake tried to protest but found herself getting thrown on top to the bus. There, she realized she was sitting on a dusty old armchair at the very front, near a steering wheel stuck to the cardboard floor itself. Luckily there were cardboard rails on top, but still.

There were other yells from below, and Blake saw everyone getting thrown up onto the cardboard bus's roof: Ruby, who landed right next to her, the blonde boy, who now sat across from her and Ruby, and those two eccentric kids, who were now seated behind everyone else. Eddy had hopped onto the driver's seat last.

"Now," Eddy turned to the passengers, putting a cash register right in front of him with a smirk. "Shall we go over the expenses first before we begin our tour?"

Out of everyone in this tourline, only Ruby appeared to be gloomy, for even Blake had appeared to express an interest here.

Glancing around, Eddy began accounting the expenses. "That'll be 25 cents for the tour, 25 cents for the bus," He looked up with an even bigger grin. "The initial fee is 50 cents per customer!"

"50 cents?" Jaune scratched his head. "That's not bad at all."

"You brought the money, right Ren?"

"Uh, sure…?"

Blake checked her wallet, only for Ruby to gasp. "Even you are considering this?!"

"Well," The mysterious girl put away her wallet with a blush. "I do want to know where everything is…"

"Oh please."

The retort came not from Ruby, but from a newcomer who looking up at the bus from the ground. Eddy leaned over and saw the illustrious Weiss Schnee herself glaring at him. Money signs practically popped in his eyes. He could milk that Schnee girl dry and be literally swimming in bags of cash like Scrooge McDuck!

"Weiss Schnee, was it?" Eddy grinned at her. "Care to join our tourline? It'll be nothing for someone of your wealth!"

She scoffed. "I know you're gonna charge me extra for this sad excuse of a tourline. Everyone knows the breadth of the wealth my family had accumulated thanks to the Schnee Candy Company, after all."

Eddy's grin became a stare. Sad excuse of a tourline? Who does she think she is?! Still, he restrained himself from yelling and waved to her. "I promise ya', it'll be a tourline you'll never forget, Weiss Schnee!"

"Just call me Weiss," The heiress scowled, but it relaxed into frown. "But you're right, I got nothing lose, so I might as well try out your tourline and see if it's worth the 50 cents you charge these kids with."

Ruby glared at Weiss as she came up on top and took her seat next to Jaune. Who does she think she is, looking down on hard-working, middle-class folk like herself?! Jaune tried to make another cheesy one-liner for Weiss, but one glare was all it took for him to sit still in fear and shut up.

"Unbelievable!" Ruby whispered to Blake. "Can you believe the nerve of her, Blake?"

Silence. When Ruby turned to Double-D's stepsister, all she saw was a quiet, but terrifying glare in her eyes―pointed straight right at the haughty heiress. Ruby swallowed and sat back in her seat properly; Blake must've definitely disliked Weiss for some reason.

Eddy hopped in front of the steering wheel and turned to everyone. "Now, shall we get this show on the road?" He turned to the front and peered down. "Hey Monobrow, get movin'!"

On the ground, Ed, who was hooked up to the front of the cardboard bus like a horse drawing a cart, stood up and saluted Eddy. "I get to be a cow, Eddy! Moo moo moo!"

He sped off and already began pulling strongly on the bus. At once, the bus picked up speed with Ed, and Eddy cried out, happily steering the wheel―which allowed him to control Ed's movements with ease―while Weiss, Blake, and Ren held on for dear life; Ruby and Nora, on the other hand, held their hands up high, cheering in excitement. Blake was the most terrified one out of everyone―eyes shifting, shallow gasping, fingers clenching―for she never experienced such an adrenaline rush in her life―not since before she came to Peach Creek.

Double-D, where the heck are you!?


"Oh," Double-D's eyes were wide and sparkling. "So you have an appreciation for Maxwell's equations?!"

Pyrrha chuckled, though it was tinged with anxiety. "Uh, I do. They do form a foundation for a large part of classical physics, after all…"

Thank goodness Double-D was able to pull her out of that crowd of kids back there at Peach Creek; otherwise, she wouldn't know what could've happened. She and Double-D had been talking at the town park for a couple minutes now, sitting on a green bench next to the street on this fine Autumn afternoon. For a brief moment Pyrrha watched the dark, orange leaves being carried by the wind's lofty wings as Double-D gushed over her apparent appreciation for an admittedly important piece of mathematics.

True, Pyrrha had seen Maxwell's equations before, but she still had trouble making heads and tails of it. She was studious, diligent and a very promising athlete―in fact, she dreamt of participating in the Olympics for the US―but a legitimate genius, borne from the fruits of American education? If people knew she's just really, really motivated, Pyrrha was sure half of her scholarships she had earned would be dropped and half of the organizations she was in, many of them being of true academic caliber, would cut their ties with her. And she would surely disappoint her parents–

"I've heard countless great things about you, Ms. Nikos," Double-D's eyes might as well have sparkling hearts in them. "But to think a lowly mortal such as I would chance a meeting of a lifetime with who might as well be a demi-goddess worthy of a seat in Mt. Olympus!"

Pyrrha continuing chuckling, anxiety infecting her feigned levity more and more. "Oh Double-D, I may be studious, but I don't think of myself as the best in the nation!"

"Being modest now, are we?" Double-D chuckled, oblivious to Pyrrha's plight. "But I have to admit, you are the best this country has to offer! Your academic record, not to mention the credentials in which you carry, thanks to your efforts in scholarship and charity work, is almost worthy of a Nobel prize!"

The happiness radiating from Double-D only made Pyrrha's heart twist even more with regret. She despised having to break this poor young man's fantastical perception of her―a Greek demi-goddess who was capable of being granted a proverbial seat in Mt. Olympus―but she didn't want Double-D to face more heartbreak when he finds out she's no genius. Besides, Pyrrha would rather have Double-D crush on her for who she is rather than who he perceives her as. If that had been the case, she wouldn't mind being his girlfriend―plus, she thought he was the true genius here. If anything, Double-D was the one who deserved her seat in Mt. Olympus.

Sighing, Pyrrha turned to the boy crushing on her. "Double-D, um, there's something I want to tell you."

The hearts in his eyes only sparkled even more. Pyrrha's heart threatened to snap in half.

A speeding cardboard bus suddenly stopped right in front of the pair. Double-D and Pyrrha first spotted Ed, who was hooked up to the bus like a horse, then they spotted the heads of Eddy, Jaune, Ren, Nora, Weiss, Ruby and Blake peering over the railing.

"Ah, the lovely Peach Creek Park," Eddy said loudly on a microphone, gesturing to the park. "Watch as the autumn leaves carelessly blow in the wind, and as couples spend their time together, staring into each other's eyes to profess their love. Just like those two down there!"

"Pyrrha?!" Weiss's eyes became wide. "What are you doing there? And is that dorky, no-name loser your boyfriend?"

The athlete ignored the boyfriend remark, too surprised by Weiss's appearance. "Why are you riding on a cardboard bus driven by a boy pretending it to be an actual tourline…?"

Meanwhile, Nora's eyes seemed to have wandered off. "Ah, the autumn leaves, blowing in the wind as Ren and I stare into each other's eyes…"

"We're intruding on a couple's privacy, though." Ren could only witness the surprise reunion between Pyrrha and Weiss.

It was short-lived when a flustered Double-D saw both Blake and Eddy on the same bus; it didn't took a genius for the gears to click. "Eddy! You double-crossing, money-grubbing, no-good, depraved excuse of a friend! You better not had charged Blake with anything amounting even to the tiniest decimal of a penny!"

"Whoops, looks like we better leave these lovebirds to their business!" Eddy turned and peered to the front. "Yo Ed, let's beat it!"

"Okey-dokey Karaoke!"

The passengers yelped once more as the cardboard bus broke off and sped down the street, leaving Pyrrha and Double-D in the dust.

"T-That," Double-D growled, shaking with anger, "T-That no good, little," He stomped on the ground. "That rapscallion!"

Pyrrha backed away a bit, slightly shivering with fright. Though Double-D looked harmless, it seems that pushing the right buttons will send him into fury mode. Good Lord, he's scary when he's angry…

"Uh, Double-D?"

He spun to Pyrrha, only for his demeanor to soften a bit. "I-I apologize, i-it's just that my friend," Double-D scowled at the poisonous word, "has made off with my sister along with the rest of the transfer students! I have no doubts he will milk all of them dry of their hard-earned allowances in order to get his grubby hands on those oversized, sugary, confectionary treats! I have to stop him!"

"Wait, you're never gonna catch up to that bus on your own!"

"Oh I may be mediocre in gym class," Double-D rolled up his sleeves, "but when one is fueled by the passion of wrath, one mustn't dare stand in that passionate one's way!"

Double-D broke off into a sprint, leaving Pyrrha in the dust.

Pyrrha went after him. "Double-D, wait, hold on!"


Having seen her brother being left in the dust along with that famous Pyrrha girl, Blake was already having enough of excitement for one day. Or for an entire month. The wind slapped her face and messed up her hair, which threatened to debow her hairbow altogether had not she clutched it in place with a free hand; her other hand was gripping on the arm of her seat.

Eddy turned to everyone as he drove. "Is this thrilling or what?!"

"Watch the road, you dolt!" Weiss growled.

"Don't worry, Snow White," Eddy waved her off. "This bus is powered by the state-of-the-art, 100 bazillion horsepower, V8 Motor-Ed Engine! It practically drives the bus itself!"

"Vroom vroom!" Ed laughed from below.

Blake peered out of her seat and glared at the scammer. "Eddy! C-Can I get off this bus, now?"

"What," Eddy threw his hands out, "and miss out on the awesome car chase scene?! You paid to get on this tourline, y'know!" However, he ended up shrugged. "Oh well, your loss!"

The bus didn't seemed to slow down.

"Uh, Eddy, the bus isn't stopping…"

"We're in a car chase scene, alright!? You can't skimp out on this, this is how we run things here, kid! Besides, you and everyone else are part of the show now―which is being written as a fan fiction at the moment―but if you want out you're gonna have to get off yourself, goth girl!"

Oh the nerve of that Eddy…!

Blake turned to Ruby, expecting her to be still gloomy and in complete agreement with what she was about to say―only―to her surprise―to see her cheering as her arms dangle like noodles amidst the roaring winds.

"Woohoo!" Ruby laughed, as if she were without a care in the world now. "I thought I would hate this tourline, but this is fun!""

Come on, first she hated this tourline, now she was having fun!? Unbelievable! Blake shot another glare at Eddy.

"Ah," Eddy adjusted the rearview mirror so it showed his reflection. "This is the life! I'm so gonna be swimming in jawbreakers!"

"Did you say you were going to be swimming in jawbreakers?" Weiss said, raising an eyebrow.

Before Eddy could correct his mistake, he noticed the familiar sock-head rising up from the sidewalk. He gasped and turned around to see Double-D running after the bus; following behind him was that Pino girl or whatever her name was.

"Ed, run faster!"

"Got it, Boss!" Like a motorcycle on overdrive, Ed's legs practically spun as the bus reached what would be considered highway speed. "Running faster, running faster, running faster…!"

Eddy turned to the now disappearing duo and sneered. "Hah! See ya' later, Sock-Head and Pyramid-Head!"

Double-D had ran like he never ran in his entire life, but despite his best efforts he was already starting to slow down. "I can do it," He gasped, "I can do it, I can do it," He legs felt like they were gonna fall off, "I-I can do it," He was already slowing down to a jog, "I-I-I-I can't do it!" Double-D collapsed on the sidewalk, face-first.

"Double-D!" Pyrrha came over and helped him up to his feet. "Are you alright?"

He groaned. "Oh Pyrrha, it seems that the passions of wrath wasn't enough to keep this thin, underweight, sorry excuse of a body running long enough to catch up to Eddy. O woe is me, Eddy has won this fight…"

"Are you just gonna give up?" Pyrrha stared at him. He can't give up, not now!

"What else am I able to do? I've already exhausted my body and I can't force it anymore lest I break."

Pyrrha pursed her lips. That bus was fast, very fast, and for someone like Double-D she knew he was never going to catch up to it. Maybe if he had her help…

A moment of thought, then she threw Double-D on her shoulders and fell into a sprinting pose. "Hold on tight, this'll be fast."

"P-Pyrrha?"

"I can't let someone down when they're calling for help; I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I ignore those who are in need!"

Double-D felt his heart melting, losing himself in his own world again. "A sense of justice and morals, as well?!"

Ignoring Double-D's gushing, Pyrrha broke off into a powerful sprint and she dashed down the sidewalk. The wind slapped her face, but it remained firm, and already she began feeling the adrenaline rush she had so longed for that came only in exercise. This was it; this was her element. She could finally help someone in need and be rewarded only modestly; this was how Pyrrha wished things were for her: a simple life of saving those in need with only modest thanks in return.

Soon, Pyrrha and Double-D were already nearing the back of the bus.

"Hey," Weiss called out to Eddy. "I thought this was a tourline, not some sadder excuse for a rollercoaster ride."

"Hey lady!" Eddy glared at Weiss. "I'm the tour guide here, I get to go wherever I want, and I say we're going–"

"Holy toledo!" Nora cried out as she pointed at the back of the bus. "Those guys are coming back!"

Eddy hopped on top of Nora, pushing her head down with a hand, and saw Pyrrha sprinting towards them, carrying Double-D on her shoulders, without even breaking a sweat.

"Eddy!" Double-D shot a glare at him. "You get back here right this instant!"

His face scrunched with fear, Eddy ran back to the driver's seat. "Ed, kick it up to overdrive, prompto!"

"I'll be as fast as a speeding hedgehog, Eddy!" Ed's legs practically became wheels as the bus now began speeding up to a 100 miles.

The distance between the pair and the bus was starting to become greater. Double-D growled, not willing to be beaten by Eddy when they came so far.
"We're losing them, Pyrrha! We have to do something!"

At this rate, even Pyrrha knew she will start losing steam soon. So in a last ditch attempt, she held Double-D's hips tightly, much to his surprise and embarrassment, and she threw him as hard as he could. Double-D yelled as he soared through the air in an arc, Pyrrha slowing down and watching him fly.

"Good luck, Double-D! And I'm sorry!"

Eddy saw Pyrrha sinking into the sidewalk and he chuckled maniacally. "Man, I'm getting good at this!"

All of the sudden he heard an ever-growing yell from Double-D. When he turned to look where he was, Double-D slammed right onto him and shook the entire bus. All the passengers peered from their seats and watched as Double-D leaped right up onto his feet and gripped Eddy's shoulders.

"Ooh man," Nora giggled with excitement as she ate popcorn. "This is the confrontation scene where the hero and villain finally fight, Ren!"

Ren could only stare at either Nora or the feuding Eds. "Uh huh…"

"What has this tourline become, a merry-go-round for toddlers?!" Weiss rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "I didn't pay 50 cents for this!"

"Beat his butt, Double-D!" Ruby cried out, wearing Double-D's hat and waving a giant foam hand that had 'Go Double-D!' printed on its side. "Send Eddy packing!"

Blake could only watch the entire scene unfolding. What kind of neighborhood did she just ended up moving in?

As for the two Eds, Double-D planted his feet on Eddy's chest while the latter was struggling to pull Double-D's hands away from his shoulders. The friends grunted and struggled, locked in a furious stalemate.

"These ridiculous, greed-fueled shenanigans has gone on far enough, Eddy!" Double-D poked Eddy's chest. "I demand that you stop this bus at once!"

"No way, Jose!" Eddy growled. "I'm the tour guide here, and I get to say when we stop this bus!"

"Release my sister from this torment, Eddy!"

"Says who!?"

"Greedy, obstinate, rapacious cheapskate!"

"You little son of a–!"

"Foul-mouthed, simple-minded barbarian!"

"How 'bout I put my foot right up your–!?"

"Carnivorous, gluttonous, lecherous kidnapper!"

"Alright, that's it!" Eddy punched Double-D right in the kisser and sent him tumbling down the walkway. He stomped towards the intelligent Ed, rolling his sleeves. "You wanna a piece of me, Double-D!? Oh I'll give you your piece!"

Double-D cowered in fear. "I-I give, I give! Please spare this poor soul!"

Eddy stopped, staring at his friend in utter shock. "That it?" He facepalmed and shot up in frustration. "Come on, we were just getting to the good part!"

"Yeah!" Nora cried out from afar. "Beat each other's butt already! Boo! I want my money back!"

"Nora, don't encourage them."

"Me too." Weiss glared at Eddy. "This isn't a tourline; I can't even call it a scam at all! This is so pathetic, it makes me want to hurl!"

Eddy steamed like a hot teapot. "Why you little…!"

"Hey Ice Princess!" Ruby of all people was the one who shouted. "What's your problem!? This tourline's fun! Why don't you pick on someone your own size!? Or do you need something expensive and exquisite," Ruby gagged, "for your cultured tastes?!"

Eddy turned his fury to Ruby. "Who you callin' short, shortcake!?"

"Excuse me?!" Weiss stared at Ruby in shock. "For your information Miss, I'm not criticizing the quality of this tourline; it's a scam for Pete's sake! I'm criticizing how poorly designed and executed this scam was! And I don't need something expensive and exquisite to satisfy someone of my own tastes, thank you very much!"
Before Ruby could retort, Blake of all people shot up and glared down on the Schnee. "Shut up! I had enough of hearing garbage spilling out of your mouth, Schnee! All what your family does is profit off of other's people's backs and treat them like they're machines! You're unethical!"

Everyone―even Double-D―stared at Blake's outburst. Double-D himself was utterly stumped by his stepsister. "B-Blake?

"U-Uh, um, I-I," Blake's face became red as a tomato and she immediately sat back down, facing the other way in hopes of disappearing from everyone's minds. "S-S-Sorry," she said in an inaudible whisper.

Unfortunately, the Ice Princess became a Fire Princess.

Weiss got up and shoved Eddy out of the way, the scammer crashing into Double-D, as she stomped towards Blake. Shooting a glare at Ruby, at which she smiled anxiously and moved away from her, Weiss turned Blake's shoulder around and unleashed a horrific glare upon the poor girl.

"I want you to say that again about my family." Weiss's eye twitched. "Come on, say it. I dare you. I double-dare you. I triple-dog dare you," Weiss raised a fist, "you insolent little–!"

Blake pounced on Weiss into the walkway and began beating her up.

"Finally, a fight!" Nora cheered and popped more popcorn, coated in butter and maple syrup, into her mouth.

Eddy peeled himself off from Double-D and stomped towards the dust cloud that was Blake's attack on Weiss. "Hey hey hey, break it up you two, I'm running a tourline here!" He picked up and separated a dirty, struggling Blake and a beaten-up, mortified Weiss. "Why don't you take your stupid fight somewhere else!?"

Meanwhile, Jaune was hurling into his vomit bag, his face very much green. "Why did I took this tourline!? Of course I would get motion-sick! I'm such an idiot!" Jaune's eyes went wide and he hurled again in his vomit bag.

"Hey," Eddy turned to Jaune. "You're gonna have to pay extra for the vomiting and cleanup expenses, blondie!"

Double-D got up from his spot, rubbing his head and adjusting his hat. "Curse this frail and weak body!" When he saw Eddy's hands on Blake and Weiss, he steamed and stomped towards him. "Unhand my dear sister, knave!"

"Oh come on, now you wanna go again!?" Eddy threw Blake and Weiss onto Ruby and rolled up his sleeves. "You better put up a good fight, this time!"

Just as Double-D and Eddy were about to pounce on each other―with Nora leaning in excitement, Ruby zipping out of the pile and watching―everyone heard Ed screaming bloody murder. Even Jaune, Blake and Weiss looked at the source of the scream.

"K-K-Kankers!"

To most of the transfers, they obviously were oblivious to the meaning of the term.

To the Eds―it was as if the minions of Hades were descending upon them once again.

Double-D and Eddy ran up to the front of the bus and stuck their heads up, the wind slapping hair and hat respectively, and sure enough―there they were.

The Kanker sisters were crossing the street when they spotted the speeding bus fast approaching them. When they saw the familiar faces of their beloved, they all giggled and cackled evilly, as if a thousand scenarios involving the Eds ran through their minds.

"Look guys," May pointed at the cardboard bus, "it's our boyfriends!"

Marie squinted her eyes with a devilish glee. "Ooh, looks like our boyfriends have been playing with the transfer students!"

"The tall Asian kid is so cute!" May giggled. "He's so cute I wonder if he's actually a 'she,' like reverse Mulan!"

"Tell me about it." Marie grinned. "I like the blondie over there; I'm glad this stinking Cul-de-Sac finally got a blond boy, I've been itchin' for one for too long now!"

Lee stepped up, an evil grin widening on her face. "No boyfriend of mine ain't hanging around with any of them hussy transfers! Let's welcome the newcomers the Kanker way!"

The other Kankers cackled maniacally.

Double-D and Eddy had a look of panic on their faces no one among the transfer student group had seen before. Ruby was confused at their plight. Blake was worrying for Double-D's welfare. Weiss was wondering why the Eds were terrified of three no-name girls. Jaune lightened up at the prospect of getting a girlfriend. Nora had suddenly clung to Ren as if he was going to get whisked away by three hot girls―even if they were the Kankers. Ren, well, he stopped giving a flip about this whole situation he and Nora had found themselves in now.

"Ed, Lumpy!" Eddy peered over the railing. "Do something! Turn around!"

Double-D became even more distressed. "The force of direction is too great, Eddy! At this velocity, we will only be able make at best minor adjustments to our trajectory!"

"What does that mean!?"

The intelligent Ed grabbed Eddy's shoulders and shook him. "It means we can't avoid the Kanker sisters!"

Eddy screamed in terror.

"Oh," Jaune appeared between the two Eds as he cupped his eyes out for the three succubi. "Is that who they're called?"

Blake, smoothing her hair back into its proper place, approached her stepbrother with worry. "Double-D, are you going to be alright?"

"Run them over!" Nora angrily shouted out from a few seats over. "Ram this bus into them and make sure it crushes every single bone in their bodies!"

"Nora, aren't you getting a little bit melodramatic?"

Eddy peered over the railing once again. "Slow down, Ed!"

"I'll be slower than a snail after Happy Hour, Eddy!" Ed immediately complied, he too not wanting to meet the Kanker sisters, and he planted his feet on the ground.

Double-D's eyes became wider than dinner plates. "No Ed! If we tried to decelerate too quickly, then the resulting force will flip this bus over!"

Unfortunately, asphalt was already flying out of the long fracture driven by Ed's feet by the time Double-D had warned him. Sure enough, the bus was slowing down at first―much to Eddy's relief―and Nora's disappointment―but then the bus suddenly began twisting and turning. The wheels made sparks on the street as the cardboard bus swerve out of control, going straight off from the road. Everyone cried out in terror, desperately holding onto the railings as if Death was looming upon them―awaiting to take any of them.

"I don't wanna die!" Ruby cried out, tears flying out of her eyes.

Weiss struggled to hold on on her seat; Blake, holding on Double-D's ankles, the latter holding onto the railing, reached out for the heiress and she grabbed onto her hands.

Eddy held onto the railing as well, while Jaune restrained himself on the railings and remained in his seat. However, he was vomiting more of his lunch all over the street.

"Ren," Nora held onto her friend for dear life, and Ren held onto his seat as if he was moments from being ripped out of the bus. "If we don't make it, I just wanna say that I love–"

The bus crashed right into the tree, next to the crossing where the Kankers were situated. As for the Kankers, they giggled and made their way towards the wreckage.

The crash site was something straight out of a disaster movie. Tracks from both the wheels and Ed's feet had been dugged into the skin of both the street and the earth. Dirt and asphalt were strewn about the tracks like shattered glass. As for the bus itself, the front of the cardboard had collapsed in on itself from smashing right into the now splintered tree. Smoke hissed from what had been the front, and armchairs, railings and other cardboard debris were also strewn about, as if they were innards ripped from a carcass.

Ruby was the first one to rise, shaking off debris and dirt from her dress as she rubbed her head. "Wow, the light's so bright. Is this heaven...?"

"Ugh…"

Ruby heard groaning from inside the wreckage. Regaining her senses, she quickly made her way inside the bus and saw a battered, beaten-up Weiss.

"Oh my gosh, Weiss!" She then quickly pulled her out and laid her on the grass, fanning her head with her hand. "Are you alright?! Where does it hurt?! Do I need to get you a glass of warm milk?! Answer me!"

Weiss was in a strange daze, chuckling to herself as if all things were amusing to her now. "Winter, are you writing those trashy romance novels about sparkling vampires, werewolves and yourself in a room again…?"

"Oh no, if she's talking about Half-Light, then she really needs help!" Ruby grimaced and was on the verge of tears.

Glancing around, Ruby saw Ed sliding out from the crack between the front of the bus and tree like paper and fell down to the ground. He got back up and struggled to maintain his balance, chuckling like Weiss.

"Who's up for a game of cribbage?"

Ruby zipped to Ed. "Oh no, not you too!"

"Ed's fine, shortcake."

Ruby glared at Eddy as he got out of the wreckage, sweeping dirt off of his hula shirt. "Lumpy's always like this, just give him a minute and he'll come back around."

"How can you be so calm when someone could've been killed in this accident?!"

"Kid, you of all people obviously shouldn't be talking."

And soon enough, the others began emerging from the wreckage. Double-D pulled himself out of the wall of the cardboard bus and began heading to where Eddy, Ruby and Weiss were. Blake also pulled out an armchair that had gotten stuck around her neck and threw it away before joining up with the others. Nora bounced up from a pile of debris, pieces of cardboard falling off, but stared off into the distance as if all sound had just vanished―when she realized Ren had somehow gotten stuck himself in her ears; she pulled him out and set him standing straight on his feet, but he too struggled to maintain his balance.

"I-I think I had enough excitement to last me a lifetime…"

Nora just grinned and hugged Ren. "Well, at least we're not dead!"

As for Jaune?

"Uh, guys? Help! I-I'm stuck up in this stupid tree!"

Sure enough, the group looked up to see the poor, beaten-up blondie hanging off from a high tree branch by his bunny-printed underwear.

Weiss scoffed. "Seriously, bunnies?"

"Don't look, don't look, don't look," Ruby had covered her eyes.

Blake could only stare with a slight blush.

"Oh man, he's wearing that?" Nora couldn't help but chuckle at Jaune's choice of underwear, and Ren could only feel sweat dripping down his forehead.

Double-D rushed up to the tree. "D-Don't move, we'll call for help!"

"The only help you all are gettin' will be from us!"

The Eds froze, a perpetual, familiar state of fear now pumping through their veins once more. For the transfers, regardless of their previous impressions of them, all of them now had a sense of dread befalling them all. The Kanker Sisters stood at the scene of the crash, eager for another round of smoochin' with their boytoys.

Eddy, Double-D and Ed backed up against the wall of the cardboard bus as the Kankers approached them, dangerous grins on their faces.

"You boys have been having fun with the transfer students?" Marie held her heart and feigned pain. "Without us?"

Lee chuckled. "I hope we're not too late to the party now, are we?"

"That Asian boy over there is cute!" May's eye sparkled with hearts as she leered at Ren. "I don't mind bringing him along as a third wheel between me and Ed!"

"Hey!" Nora stepped in front of a disturbed Ren and spread her arms out. "Hands off the merchandise, bub! Ren's taken already!"

"Oh, so this chick's one of them girls, eh?" Lee cracked her knuckles. "Why don't we teach her a lesson and give her a good ole' punishin'?"

Marie grinned evilly. "Shall I bring out the rope for our little rebel here?"

"Sure thing, Marie. And make sure to tie her up extra nice!"

The Kankers' shadow loomed malevolently over a shivering Nora and Ren. Their hands snatched Nora's collar and pulled her right into their grasps; Nora yelped while Ren cried out for her. Nora tried to resist the Kankers, but the sisters kicked and beat up Nora with their number and strength and tied her up in a hog-tie; a handkerchief was stuffed in her mouth and duct-taped over for good measure.

Nobody, not even Jaune, could believe what had just happened.

The Eds, Ren, Ruby, Weiss and Blake found themselves all backed up against the cardboard wall of the wrecked bus. Lee, Marie and Kanker surrounded them all, their arms and legs spread out and their fingers tingling with sadistic delight.

"Hey look!" May snatched Ruby from her spot and showed her to the others. "I found Little Red Riding Hood!"

Marie pulled out a red dress-skirt with an apron, a red cape and leather boots and stuffed it onto Ruby from head-to-toe. "What's Little Red doing all the way here from Grandma's house?"

Flushing terribly, Ruby pulled down her ridiculously-short skirt as best she could. "D-Don't look! I-I hate skirts!"

"Obviously she ran into Three Big Bad Wolves!" Lee cackled and pulled out a picnic basket; she let Marie stuff a terrified Ruby right inside.

The lead Kanker then threw the basket right next to the tied up Nora. Everyone began screaming and yelling in terror.

Weiss was the most shaken out of everyone, apart from the Eds. Lee noticed her fear and leered at over, the gaze not going unnoticed by the other Kankers.

"Check it out, Snow White's frozen as a snowman."

"I like her dress!" Marie chuckled, pulling out a ragged-looking, drab-grey dress of her own. "Think she would look good as Cinderella, girls?"

May pulled on Weiss's feet, dragging her to between the Kankers, and ripped off her dress shoes―holding an ugly, rusted, steel nail filer right next to Weiss's pedicured, icy-blue painted toes. "We should get rid of her pedicures first!"

"And the manicures, too!" Marie held out Weiss's manicured fingers, pulling out her own ugly nail filer. "Some ketchup and mustard would also go right with her hairstyle!"

Weiss glanced at the Kankers fearfully. "Hey, I-I-I just got both of my toenails and fingernails filed, painted and manicured! Y-You're gonna ruin three hour's worth of work!"

"Just for the nails?!" Lee sneered at the heiress. "Eh, you rich types don't need no fancy manicures! Just look at ours!"

The Kankers showed their chipped, ugly nails at Weiss―and the latter found herself gagging.

"Whoa," Jaune gazed at Weiss's feet. "Your toenails are the color of your eyes, Weiss!"

"Stop looking at my feet!"

Jaune's cheeks became red. "I-It's not my fault they look nice and cute! Why don't you stop looking at my undies–! Wait a minute," His blush disappeared as he rubbed his chin, an airy smile forming on his lips. "Maybe my undies could help me out here…"

"You're still thinking about that!? Unbelievable!"

The Kankers dropped Weiss on the ground and approached the tree, looking up at Jaune. The latter smiled at all of them with a slight, anxious wave, but the Kankers looked unamused.

"Boring!" Marie yawned. "He's cute, but he wants it."

May crossed her arms. "Men are so much more fun when they resist!"

"Snoresville! Sorry Blondie," Lee reached her hand out, snatched Jaune's collar and pulled him down to her level. "As much as you're handsome and all, you just ain't no fun. Y'see, us Kankers like men who're hard get and all, I'm sure ya' understand."

Jaune winced. "W-What?! Oh come on…!"

"Don't worry, we'll be knockin' on your door when you finally scared of us! 'Till then, see ya' later, cutiepie!"

Lee pulled on Jaune, letting his underwear stretch far longer than initially expected, and then she let go. Through his underwear, Jaune was sent flying through the air and over yonder.

"Tell my mom I love her…!"

A crash followed, and the rest of the group continued screaming and shouting.

"Now then," Lee and her sister turned to the Eds, Ren and Blake. "Where were we?"

"Goth-girl over there needs a new makeover, I think!" Marie especially giggled, pulling out her own hair dye and nail polish fit for Goths. "I have everything I need to make her look like me! She needs to look like a proper Goth-girl, after all!"

Lee slapped Marie's beauty supply onto the ground. "She don't need to be no Goth-girl like you, Marie!" Then she pulled out a beetle from the ground. "We should make her eat bugs!"

"Yeah," May then pulled out a silver platter with a lid and took it off, revealing a pile of live, squirming worms. "We should make her eat the main course!"

Blake stared at the worms and beetle and her stomach churning. "I-I think I-I'm gonna be sick…"

"I won't let you lay even one finger on my dear sister, Kankers!" Double-D suddenly stepped right in front of Blake and spread his arms out. "For I'll partake in the consumption of poor, defenseless insects and limbless invertebrates in her place!"

Marie stared at Double-D. "Wait, that Goth-girl's your sister? I almost thought she was your girlfriend or somethin'!"

Eddy's eyes widened. "Double-D, what are you doing?!"

"I'm doing my duty as Blake's older brother, that's what!"

"So a sibling, huh?" Lee's grin became even wider as she brought two beetles into Double-D and Blake's faces. "Mind if brother and sister share their lunch, then?"

Both stepsiblings' eyes became wide open with shock and horror.

Eddy shivered, glancing at Double-D. "Sorry Sock-Head, but you and Blake are gonna have to take one for the team!"

"Oh how selfless of you, Eddy!" Double-D scowled at the scammer. "You might as well join us for 'lunch,' then!"

"No way I'm eating any bugs, Sock-Head!" Eddy glanced at Ren. "Yo, transfer student," then picked him up and put him in his place. "Why don't you take one for Uncle Eddy, huh? I-I'll make it worth your while!"

Ren scowled at him and crossed his arms. "Uh huh, and I'm sure you'll also be willing to make a refund?"

"Tsk tsk Eddy," Ed wagged his finger. "Never have I seen such foul play even from a short cheapskate like you."

Eddy gritted his teeth and glared at Ed. "Say that again, I dare you!"

"Enough talk!" Lee, Marie and May all pulled out silver platters of worms, centipedes and beetles. "Everyone's gettin' the Kanker Course Meal!"

"Complete with bugs!" Marie twirled around.

May put crimson lipstick on her lips. "And smooches!" She smooched at Ed, who leaped on Double-D and hugged him tight.

Blake held onto Double-D while he held onto her. Eddy and Ren also held onto each other for dear life, the shadows of the devious, maniacal Kanker sisters descending upon them―blocking out their ray of hope.

They all screamed, but their cries were drowned out by the Kankers' sadistic laughter.

"Stop right there."

Time appeared to have stopped right in its tracks, for the Kankers, Eds and remaining transfer students all turned around to a massive, tall shadow looming over all of them. Its arms were crossed, and everyone's eyes widened, even the Kankers'.

Ruby popped out of her basket with glee in her face. "Uncle Qrow! You came to rescue us!"

Qrow smirked at Ruby. "'Course I came, what kinda guidance counselor would I be if I didn't?"

"Darn," Lee glared at the buzzed guidance counselor. "Looks like the fuzz came in just when we was getting to the good part!"

"Now Kankers, if you all know what's good for you, you better start throwing those bugs away and untying both my niece and that girl. Got it?"

Within less than five seconds, the Kankers released Nora from her bondage and released Ruby from the picnic basket. They all stepped a few feet away from their captives, for good measure.

Qrow grinned haughtily. "Good. That's an improvement over last time. Now, if you three Kankers will come with me, that'll be great; makes my job easier. Oz and I are gonna have another long talk with you three troublemakers."

"You was definitely lucky this time!" Lee shook her fist at the group as she and her sisters followed behind Qrow. "But next time, we'll definitely go straight for the smoochin'! Look forward to it, boyfriends!"

The Kankers cackled at the Eds, but they immediately shut up after Qrow glared at them.

"Oh yeah," Qrow turned to the others. "Ms. Goodwitch'll be coming in shortly to take care of you all. She should be here in a minute or two. See you all tomorrow."

And with that, Qrow left with the Kankers.


As cleanup crews and construction workers littered all over the crash site, clearing away debris and filling up potholes and tracks, Ms. Goodwitch had gathered the Eds and transfer students at her sports car that was parked nearby.

"I called all your parents and let them know you'll be coming home after this." Ms. Goodwitch closed her cellphone and sighed in relief. "Thank goodness you all aren't injured too badly."

"Tell me about it." Jaune chuckled as he applied ice on his head. "Sorry about landing my butt on your face from earlier, Pyrrha. Really, I am. Man, those Kankers are pretty strong, aren't they?"

For some reason, Pyrrha was blushing immensely as she smirked. "Oh, I didn't minded, Jaune."

"Well, in that case, I'm glad we got that settled!"

While Pyrrha feigned a smirk and frowned on the inside, Ren was clearing dirt from Nora's hoodie while Blake was fixing her hairbow and Double-D fixing his hat. Eddy was off in his own world staring at the cash snuggled safely in a glass jar while Ed rolled around on the grass, laughing and pretending to be a cow. Ruby, wearing her normal clothes now, simply leaned on the sports car along with Weiss, who was wearing her shoes again.

"Man I'm rich!" Eddy chuckled to himself before shooting up. "Jawbreakers, here I–!"

"I'll be taking that." Ms. Goodwitch took the jar from Eddy's hands and distributed the quarters back to their rightful owners. "I believe these belong to you?"

Most of the transfers were delighted at gaining their money back, much to Eddy's annoyance. However, knowing he couldn't yell at a guidance counselor, he kept his mouth shut and ended up grumbling curses.

"And I was so close, too…"

Nora and Ren thanked Ms. Goodwitch for the refund before went their merry way, and Jaune also thanked the guidance counselor as he returned home. Pyrrha had left when she saw that everyone was fine, leaving only the Eds, Ruby, Weiss and Blake as the remaining kids.

Eddy seemed the most downtrodden out of all of them. "If only things go right just for once, then maybe I'll finally get a stinkin' jawbreaker for all this trouble! Maybe then Kev and the others won't tell everyone we're just broke, desperate, sore losers!"

"I'm afraid we've been reduced to humiliating each other and everyone we come across, Eddy," Double-D sighed. "I think we've certainly made terrible impressions on the transfer students…"

"Nope. I actually thought you guys were cool!"

Double-D, Eddy and Ed all stared at Ruby.

"At first, when I was on that tourline, I thought it was gonna be boring and and a snore. But then there was conflict, and the awesome chase scene, and even at the end where we got held up by those dastardly Kankers!" Ruby made sound effects and imitated fight scenes, as if she just watched an action movie blockbuster, before bringing her fists up with a squeal. "That was awesome! Y'know, I wouldn't being friends with all of you if everyday's like this! Besides, I think the other transfer students liked the scam!"

Even Blake stepped up with a smirk towards Double-D. "I don't mind hanging out with your friends too, Double-D. I have you to rely on. And, I'll admit, I," Blake pursed her lips as she held her neck. "I need to get out of my shell a bit more."

"Ooh, a fellow introvert like me?" Ruby zipped up to Blake and stuck her hand out. "In that case, welcome to the 'Forever Alone' Club! I'm club president, of course!"

"S-Sure, Ruby," Blake shook Ruby's hand.

Weiss looked at the larger group and sighed. "I would say count me out, but I can't stand seeing shorty here being so abysmal at running a business, much less an illegitimate one."

"What," Eddy glared at Weiss. "You finally got a thing for me or somethin' after all that?"

"Of course not!" Weiss scoffed, crossing her arms. "I just don't like seeing businesses flopping, that's all! You must understand, i-it's like an itch I need to scratch every now and then!"

Then Ed appeared right next to her. "I can scratch your feet for you if they're itchy, Miss!"

"Why is everyone talking about my feet?!" Weiss scowled at Ed. "What," She pointed at her shoe. "You want me to stick my toes into your mouth or something!?"

Ed shook his head with a grin. "Nope! Ed loves chickens, Miss!"

Weiss stared at the oaf, but Eddy pushed Ed out of the way and wrapped an arm around the heiress. "So what you're saying is, Weiss Schnee of the Schnee Candy Company is willing to help me make my scams better? What's in it for me?"

"Obviously the knowledge of better business practices." Weiss crossed her arms. "I'm supposed to be inheriting the SCC in a couple years, after all. Plus, you don't have to do anything for me. And after I'm done teaching you, you can strip-mine this town of its quarters and buy all the jawbreakers you like."

Triple money-signs popped in Eddy's eyes. "Quarters!? Jawbreakers!?" He took and furiously shook Weiss's hand. "You got yourself a deal, Schnee!"

Weiss sighed. "Just call me Weiss, 'partner.'"

"How predictable." Double-D shook his head.

However, Eddy excitedly gathered the Eds together. "You hear that, guys!? Schnee's gonna teach me everything she knows about scammin'! Once we learn everything from her," He slapped his hands together with a haughty grin. "We'll be swimming in cash and jawbreakers in no time!"

"You do realize that this kind of teaching is going to take time, right Eddy?" Double-D crossed his arms. "And I'm sure, at the very least, it's going to take around a year before you start becoming familiar with Weiss's scamming techniques!"

"Hey, as long as we get cash in our pockets and jawbreakers in our mouths, I don't care what it takes!"

Double-D narrowed his eyes. "Remind me again why I'm still friends with you, Eddy?"

"Because," Eddy pulled the intelligent Ed right near his face, "you're hanging with the future coolest kid in town, Double-D! I'm tellin' ya', we're making history right here!"

Then Eddy pulled Ed, Ruby, Blake and Weiss together―all of them forming a big circle. "We're all making history right on this very spot."

"So that means we're all gonna be friends from now on?" Ruby gasped with delight. "Count me in! I wanna help out in the scams!"

Although Blake glared at Weiss, she still nodded towards Eddy. "As long as I don't have to deal with Schnee too much, I'm in. And I kinda know a thing or two about scamming people…"

"I'm obviously in, but only because I can't resist a challenge." Weiss narrowed her eyes at Eddy.

Eddy grinned. "Then it's settled. From this point on, the Eds have expanded to include three new numbers into their ranks! Welcome Ruby, Blake and Weiss, you are now all officially Eds!"

"But our names don't fit your group's naming conventions." Weiss said.

"Who cares? Once an Ed, always an Ed, Snow White."

"It's Weiss! Get it right, numbskull!"

"Hey, I'm the one who calls people numbskull, not you Ice Princess!"

"It's Weiss! Weiss! Do you speak English, shorty!?"

Just as Weiss and Eddy were about to get into a fight, Ed came in the nick of time and pulled the two into a crushing hug. "Ed is happy for our newest members of the Eds!" Then he pulled everyone else into the hug. "Party at my place! I'll bring out the chips and dip!"

"Party?" Despite being crushed, Ruby's eyes lit up. "I'm up for, ack, a-a party!"

"A party after what you all have been through?"

Everyone turned to Ms. Goodwitch, who was just standing there watching the spectacle. "In that case," She adjusted her glasses and smiled. "Eddward, Blake, I wouldn't mind if you two bring your friends along to our home."

"Y-You don't!?" Double-D looked at his mother, Blake also looking surprised. "B-But what about the house, the kitchen, the living room, the upstairs floor, m-my room–?!"

"Whoa, take it easy Eddward," Ms. Goodwitch lifted her hands up at Double-D. "Don't worry, I'll take care of the kitchen and living room for the day. Besides, I'm done with work for the day anyway. Your friends are certainly," Her smile became forced, "'eccentric,' to put it one way."

Double-D chuckled. "Well, I won't attempt to sugarcoat Eddy's character, Mother." He turned to his friends and stepsister. "Well fellows, shall we celebrate our welcoming party for our newest members of the Eds?"

"Sure am, buckaroo!" Ed laughed and sped off to Double-D's house.

Eddy too dashed away. "Race ya', Ed!"

"Hey!" Ruby cried out as she trailed behind Eddy and Ed. "I wanna join in!"

"Not to worry, Mother," Double-D smiled sheepishly at her. "It's not that far of a walk to home from here."

"I suppose you're right." She turned to Weiss and Blake. "Well, shall we be off?"

After getting in the sports car, Double-D's mother drove the three to the Goodwitch household―beating Ed and Eddy by a couple of minutes. Despite Eddy, Ed and Ruby being tired from their little race, everyone went inside and celebrated the inauguration of Ruby, Weiss and Blake into the infamous trio of Eds. Soda, chips and dip, candy and good food were served that day. No longer were the Eds an all-male trio; they were now a male-female band of smiling troublemakers each with their own reasons for being members of the group.

Perhaps this school year might be looking up to the Eds after all.


Finally, after three chapters the pilot episode is over! Ruby, Weiss and Blake are now official members of the Eds.

Before we get to our announcement, I'll go over the reviews made between this update and the last one:

dracohalo117: If you're referring to Double-D's crush on Pyrrha, then yeah, poor guy. I'm not a hardcore shipper, but I'm usually a supporter of canon pairings—so unfortunately for Double-D Arkos is gonna happen. (I still stand by my belief that Ed, Edd n RWBY is not centered around pairings, however.) That being said, I have a surprise for our sock-wearing friend at the end of this first season, ;).

Roth Prime: Well, I got a review from the acclaimed Ed, Edd n Eddy/RWBY crossover writer! How do you do? (I'm not being patronizing, I'm genuinely surprised to see this review pop up on this story.)

I'm glad to hear that. Ed, Edd n RWBY is rather "counter-culture," to use the term loosely, to the prevailing literal crossover between the two shows in this archive. As I've stated previously in the first author's note, I thought that there was a missed opportunity to be had by being very literal with the crossover instead of going with the AU fusionverse direction. That, and I think doing a proper, literal Ed, Edd n Eddy/RWBY crossover was going to be very difficult considering their wholly dissonant subject matter.

With all that said, I hope you continue enjoying Ed, Edd n RWBY, Roth.

-0-0-0-

Now, for that announcement:

While I still stand by my belief that Ed, Edd n RWBY is largely focused on the slice-of-life humor that made Ed, Edd n Eddy great and what fans had initially expected from RWBY, I've decided to create a poll for the sole purpose of seeing which non-canon pairings readers personally support. This won't affect the quality of the fic, neither my decision to make which non-canon pairing happen in said fic, I just want to see which pairings do you, the general reader, love.

It's really just me wanting to see which non-canon pairing is shipped the most, so it's not really relevant to the purpose of this fic. With that said, shiptease will happen, and everyone's welcome to give it a shot.

The poll is already up on my profile, and I will update it to reflect the possible pairings readers may have as Ed, Edd n RWBY continues along its merry way.

Until then, dear readers, fare thee well!
