The creation of "Ed world".
The next few days would once again roll by uneventfully for Eddy and his friends. Kevin and Rolf had gone a trip to Florida and likely would not be back for at least a fortnight. Originally Kevin had planned to take Nazz with him for this unforgettable experience, but after her betrayal he decided that he would instead take Rolf instead. "See you, dork" spat Kevin to Nazz as he headed to catch a bus. He was of course hoping that seeing Rolf going with Kevin to that coastal paradise would have Nazz begging on her knees to be his "babe" once more. Nazz didn't care though, more time to spend with her new and genuine companions and 2 weeks away from that selfish jerk and his selfish friend was practically the best thing that could have happened.
Club Ed changed a lot in that time. Since the day Eddy introduced to his two friends the new member, who they were at first shocked to see, club Ed had undergone several improvements. Though the other two Eds were also distrustful of their new member Nazz when she stood beside Eddy that day and announced her intentions, gradually as Eddy began to explain to them what had happened in the past few days, their discomfort faded into nonexistence and Nazz was soon placed down on the list of members and issued her own club card like the other Eds.
Nazz gave a heartfelt and deeply emotive speech that day which tranquilized the listeners with its sincerity. Nazz apologized for all the horrible things she did to the Eds over the years and how she never tried to stop Kevin from assaulting them. She told them that though the past could not be changed she was deeply regretful of her actions in the past and that all she could do now was live and make a positive difference where she could. She concluded her speech with a sermon that anyone could change if they set their mind to it.
The three Eds were overjoyed to have their new member. For Ed, it meant he had a friend who laughed at his jokes which no one else seemed to find funny, and which he was ridiculed for. For double D, it meant having a fellow inventor to share inventions with and a lab partner who took a genuine interest in the subject of science just like he did. They passed many a night in Edd's laboratory discussing plans for new inventions. "There is nothing science cannot achieve" Nazz and double D would say in unison when they sat together to review an idea for one of their new inventions and high fived each other.
But most affected was Eddy, he finally had what he wanted badly for as far back as he could remember, another person who cared about him besides his two pals Ed and Edd (double D). His two lifelong friends gave him as much love as they could, and he appreciated that, but what Nazz gave was a special kind of love. The kind of love that every boy craved since the day he was born, the love of a maiden.
It was hard to believe that the girl who Eddy used to see hanging around Kevin wherever Kevin went, had given her heart to Eddy instead. Eddy, a loner and outcast in society who was not fit to live among society and not worthy of respect. "Wait up Kev" Nazz used to say as she hurried to follow Kevin. "Yay, go Kevin. You rock dude" Nazz used to cheer as Kevin took his trophy when he won first place at the school sports, or when he did a trick on his skateboard which no other kid in the neighborhood could begin to match.
Yet those days, Nazz assured Eddy, were long gone. Her relationship with him was dead, and the fact Kevin did all those horrible things to Eddy was the nail in the coffin of her relationship with that scumbag. Nazz wanted Eddy, she had wanted him for a long time but could never confess it on account of the fear she felt at losing her friends among the "cul de sac". But now she realized that it was selfish to fall to peer pressure. She had realized in hindsight that the other neighborhood kids were not worth her time if they were willing to discriminate against anyone trying to do what was fair and right, kids who ditched you because you wanted to help unfairly abused victims who richly deserved better treatment were not kids she wanted as her friends.
She saw that beneath Eddy's rough exterior, he was a good boy whose priority concern was the well-being of his friends and whose only dream was to be respected in return for the respect he showed others. He was desperate to earn money yes, but wouldn't anyone in his position be as well?. The so called "scams" he set up, were not meant to be scams, they were meant to be good, honest services offered to his friends for a modest price. The poor guy did just want a jawbreaker after all, and it was not his fault he was so desperate when he never got one. Furthermore, his scams were supposed to be cool and fun, but due to the fact fate cursed Eddy cruelly they always backfired even when that was not his intention.
