(Edd's POV)
We did manage to find a payphone and Ed actually managed to remember his aunt's telephone number. Eddy and I decided to wait outside of the car against the phone booth while Ed calls his relative. My shorter friend is leaning against the Plexiglas frame while I stand facing toward him fidgeting with my fingers. "Hi Mary, me and my friends are on a road trip and we were wonderin' if maybe we could stay at your place tonight." I hear my tall friend from within the confines of the small booth.
"Eddy, I wanted to ask your opinion on something." I try to discreetly mention to the shorter boy against the see through frame.
"Yeah shoot." He replies with a raised brow. I look back at Ed on the phone and then build up the confidence needed to continue.
"What do you think of Ed?" I question returning my gaze to Eddy for his response. He gives a shrug then opens his mouth to answer.
"Well he's thick in the head and one of my-" suddenly Eddy stops mid-sentence and double takes between Ed and I for a moment. "Are you gonna try and… you know, put the moves on lumpy?" I can feel my cheek start to heat up as I look around mumbling inconsistently trying to find the right words. However before a logical sentence is formed Eddy once more gives his opinion. "You think he's gonna be up for that man? I mean I don't know him as well as you do I suppose considering how much time you spend with him." he stops and ponders the statement for a bit. "Ok so you aren't gonna like get all fruity with me are you?"
I put my hands up and shake my head. "Of course not Eddy, I wouldn't want to ruin a friendship by acting that way toward someone who didn't want it." At this point I fear I may have said too much. Eddy gets that look on his face that he gets whenever he is trying to figure out something that was almost blatantly pointed out.
"Oh come on!" he complains, at this point we hear Ed hanging up the phone and the booth door opening. I give Eddy a look that says something along the lines of. 'Please don't mention anything of this conversation to Ed.' Eddy seems to get the hint and makes his way over to the old Chevy. "So what's the word big guy?"
Ed seems to be sidetracked considering when I started to follow our shorter friend he just stood there spacing out. "Um Ed?" I query poking his elbow, it seems to work and he awakens from his stupor.
"Oh yeah, she said we could stay the night there." He rubs the back of his neck for a moment then follows us to the vehicle. "But she isn't gonna be there tonight. She's headin' to the bar with her boyfriend." She would really trust three newly graduated boys in her house alone?
"You serious lumpy?" Eddy questions getting into the back seat of the Nova. I can hear the deviousness in his tone and give him a stern look.
"Eddy we are only using this lodging to rest for the night." I sternly state, shooting down any ideas he may have gotten to do something stupid. I hand the keys over to my tall friend and as I do I can feel the rough palm of his hand on my digits. It isn't really a surprise that his hands are so worn considering how much of the heavy lifting he always does for Eddy. One thing that it shocking to me is that even if they are not smooth and soft to the touch I feel a warmth inside myself as we touch. "Ed you should drive." I mutter almost incoherently a blush starting to grow as I sit myself in the back seat beside Eddy.
After we've been driving for about five minutes it dawns on me that we forgot to visit the comic store that Ed wished to go to earlier. "Ed, you do realize that the comic shop you wanted to visit probably closes at seven." After I had made the statement I immediately regretted it. Mainly due to the fact that my tall friend took the sharpest left turn down the narrowest two way street I have ever been on in my life.
"God damn it Ed I swear I'm gonna strangle ya if you do that again!" Eddy yells holding onto the back of the driver seat so he doesn't go flying to the side. I can't help but giggle at the response that Eddy gives off.
(Sarah's POV)
"Ya know Jimmy, it just ain't fair." Not even the picnic under the oak tree in the back yard can take my mind off it.
"What isn't fair Sarah." Man he's thick in the head, I've only been ranting about it for a day now.
"The fact that Ed gets to go on a vacation and I have to stay here." Crossing my arms I wait for my feminine friend to remember.
"Oh just forget about it. Besides-" suddenly we both look around as we hear the whiny yelling of Kevin from the cul-de-sac.
"Oh come on Nazz, do you really have to do that!"
