Disclaimer: I don't own EEnE. If I did, I would make it into an anime! I like the way they draw them, but an anime version would be fun to watch!

DD: Also, she'd like to apologize for the my-hair-is-jade-colored situation as well. After finding a written interview with one of the drawers of EEnE, she found out my hair was blonde. &mutters& Even though I kept telling her that…

Anyway, here's the link:

Me: Thanks Double D! Also, I'm going to try a new way of writing! I hope you like it! Please tell me if you do!

Chapter 4: Dim Lit Ed

Double D watched with slight anger and embarrassment as "exotic pets" were sold to the Cul-de-sac kids, all believing that mere household or backyard items were animals. It just proved his point. They needed school again, and fast. The moronic levels of the others were rising each day, he could see it in their eyes as they marveled over their new "pets". As the sales continued, Eddy haggling easily, and for once not losing the money somehow, Double D found his mind wandering.

The other children had shown such inept educational value today. First, there had been Jimmy…

"See? You could have crushed this poor arthropod…" Double D said fondly, holding up Marco carefully.

Jimmy's face was full of shock and confusion.

"What that on me?

Double D turned to the boy, a little surprised he didn't know the reason.

"Jimmy, the grass conceals a micro world. Home to among thousands, and thousands of fascinating insects!" he said in rapture, oblivious to the freaking out nine year old, who was trying to find said bugs so he could get away quickly. "It just hitched a ride in your hair t-" Double D didn't get a chance to finish as Jimmy attacked his face, fear clear in his eyes as he exclaimed,

"Creepy crawlies!" before they fell to the ground. Jimmy quickly stood, hopping from one foot to the other shouting, "They're all around me! They're all around meee! Bugs! Sarah! Heeeelp!" as he ran away, earning a surprised and curious look from Double D.

Double D felt slight worry peak inside of him. He had no idea where Marc was now. Of course, he had let him out to adapt to the world, but, he could have been crushed so easily. And on his first day!

He sighed, glancing over at Jimmy, who was currently cowering behind Sarah at a obviously fake lizard. Really! How could Jimmy not know that? It's something he had learned in pre-school back in California. He supposed Jimmy wouldn't be doing summersaults for a while.

The second had been Johnny…

"Didn't you learn from your past mistakes, Johnny?" he questioned, his blue eyes filled with confusion and expectance, staring up at the boy with his head caught between two branches, hands on his hips. "After all, it's just common sense."

Johnny just blinked, smiling, before he answered,

"I guess not." Before he laughed, causing Double D to raise a hand and pull his hat down over his eyes slightly, before he took a breath and pushed it up so that his eyes were visible once more.

"Can I help in any way?" he questioned, his expression a little frustrated, his tone slightly flat.

Johnny turned to the side, his eyes closed as he held up his hands.

"No thanks. Plank already went for help." He explained, causing Double D to look behind the hanging caramel colored boy to see Plank lying face up on the grass. Johnny raised his left hand and stared at his wrist. "He'll be back around a freckle past a hair."

Double D now wondered, how Johnny was able to get help from the tree. Someone must have found him and took him down despite his protests. It was odd, the relation Johnny had with Plank. Perhaps the reason he's believed in him so long, is that not a lot of people like being around him. But still, it was idiotic how he thought the plank of wood was going to get someone to help.

The 2x4 boy had already left with is "iguana" a few minutes ago, maybe more, and had seemed quite happy, talking to Plank and introducing him to the fake pet.

The third had been Ed and Eddy…

"Did jya see that thing lunge at us?!" Eddy questioned Ed, shivering in fear. Double D walked up to them, plaster laying on his head and bruises on his cheeks, his eyes narrowed skeptically.

"Hm… That is a belt." He told them, making the two other boys blink.

"I heard it hiss Double D." insisted Ed, his voice slightly shaky as he looked over to his smart friend, Eddy staring down at the belt, a finger touching his bottom lip as he stared down unsurely at the belt.

"Impossible, Ed." Double D insisted, his tone slightly frustrated, and slightly glaring at the other, waving his hands minutely in front of him to emphasis his words.

"It 'aint movin' much…" Eddy commented, letting a foot slip under the belt carefully.

"It's a belt! For cryin' out loud, it secures your pants!" Double D exclaimed, feeling anger begin to boil inside him. Eddy lifted the belt higher with his shoe, leaning back slightly.

"Sure looked like a snake…" he muttered, picking up the belt by the buckle and dangling it, his left hand cupping his chin, eyes narrowed speculatively, Ed smiling next to him. "Hey! I bet we could sell this thing as an exotic pet!" he exclaimed, holding the belt in his hands.

"I'd buy it!" Ed exclaimed.

"That's it! I don't wanna hear anymore!" Double D exclaimed, clutching his head, his eyes closed tight. "The academic levels of this Cul-de-sac is dropping like a led weight!" he exclaimed, stomping over in front of the two and behind a foot ball, eyes filled with fury. "If we don't provide ourselves with some sort of mental stimulation, we'll all be reduced to protoplasm!" as he talked, Eddy's eyes had wandered down to eye the foot ball, before he smiled.

"Hey, Lurch," Eddy said, elbowing Ed in the side and gaining his attention. "With a little paint, that foot ball could look like an alligator!" he informed him, resting his hands on his hips, an evil/confident look in his eyes.

Double D held back a groan at the memory. That's where this all started. Having seen enough of the other's stupidity, he had decided to try to educate the children. He thought it would be for the best. Of course, he had expected interruptions… just… not so many.

First had been Eddy…

"Good day class." Double D said calmly, smiling at the seated students. "First lesson is how to differentiate an alligator," he gestured to the diagram he had drawn previously on the chalk board. "and a recreational toy." He then proceeded to-with a bored expression-pull off some kind of article of-clean thank goodness-clothing that had been secured with the belt from earlier, and then shake the yellow construction paper mouth and red cap eye off; leaving a light blue drawn on eye and a jagged drawn on mouth. He held it up for all to see, making the kids' eyes widen, before they turned to glare at Eddy and Ed, who sat in the back.

Eddy smiled nervously at them, fiddling with his hands, before, still looking at the others, he grabbed Ed's shoulders, shaking him slightly.

"He's wrecking everything Ed!" he whispered, worry clear in his voice.

"Eddy." Double D said, earning a gasp at him getting there so quickly. He gave a calculating look to Eddy, before he looked out of the periphial of his vision, eyes holding slight annoyance. "Nazz, please switch seats with, Ed." He ordered, stepping back to let Ed pass, arms crossed as he made sure the sad boy walked to his new seat.

Meanwhile-going unnoticed by everyone and Double D-Eddy was staring boredly at the brain, letting his eyes trail lazily up and down the other, before they accidentally grazed around an "area" they shouldn't be looking at. He screamed/gasped and quickly looked away, beginning to sweat, hoping against all hope that no one had noticed

"Hi, Eddy." Nazz said, smiling as Eddy crossed his legs. He looked nervously over at her, still sweating, and smiled.
'Is it getting hot out here?' he questioned himself, gulping as Double D walked away, a satisfied smile on his face.

Double D smiled slightly to himself. That one had been settled easily. A simple seat change did the trick.

The next had been Rolf…

Double D paused his speech at the sound of rude knawing, lip smacking, and chewing. He directed his eyes to a relaxed Rolf, his lids drooping slightly.

"Rolf!" Double D exclaimed, making the foreigner blink.

"Haalo?" he questioned in his accent, wondering why he had been called on, black dribble dripping down his right cheek.

"Get rid of that gum." Double D ordered, pointing at him.

"This is no gum! It is the gristle from Papa's foot soakings!" he exclaimed, smiling, puffed out cheeks and all.

"NOW!" Double D screamed, making the other flinch and freeze. "Look around you! Our break from school has turned us into blubbering nonsensical ninnies!" he exclaimed, not seeing Rolf taking out a black, wet, and hairy ball and sticking it to the back of Plank.

Double D hoped to God that that had been gum and not what Rolf had told him it was. That would be… so unhygienic…

The third had been Kevin…

"My apologies for being so blunt." Double D apologized, hands folded on his desk, before he blinked when Kevin raised a hand. He smiled and stood straight, pointing to the well mannered boy. "Yes, Kevin?"

"So… What you're sayin' is…" Kevin started, his eyes full of concentration as he made guns with both of his hands, pointing at Double D. "You're a Dork?!" he finally exclaimed, making everyone burst out laughing, making Double D's gaze turn blank for a moment. He placed a hand on his hip and pointed at Kevin, expression asking 'so you think you're funny?' He placed a dunce cap on the future biker's head, causing laughter all around.

Double D had to admit, he had done that to get back at the other. Not for himself. No. For his friends. Kevin was decent to him. But he taunted Eddy and Ed constantly, even when they were alone. But, there really was need for a visual aid. And he thought the Dunce cap would put an end to interruptions… He had been wrong.

The fourth had been Eddy once more…

Eddy snuck up behind Kevin and pulled the Dunce cap farther down on Kevin's head, making everyone shriek with laughter as Kevin tried to get it off.

Double D already knew Kevin was going to retaliate. It was always the same with those two…

"What a dunce!" Eddy exclaimed as he laughed, before he was rammed back in the chest with the point of Kevin's Dunce cap, a smirk aligning his lips.

"Boy, Kevin, that was stupid." Nazz insulted.

After that, came the guesses… Those guesses led him into a hole he wasn't given time to dig himself out of…

"What's the prize Double D?!" Nazz asked, smiling and clenching her fists in excitement.

"Is it wood varnish?!" Johnny asked, eyes twinkling.

"Shiny tweezers?!" Jimmy asked, eyes begging Double D that it was that.

"A new brother?!" Sarah asked hopefully.

"It must be a jawbreaker!" Rolf exclaimed.

Eddy stood up, eyes wide.

"Jawbreaker?"

"Glistening with sugar like the sweat on Nana's upper lip…" imagined Rolf, smiling, his fingers wriggling.

Double D mentally sighed in frustration. The hole was then too deep, and seemed to have been sealed by a metal grate. Double D found a shiver run down his spine at what had happened after the kids-besides Ed and Eddy-rushed off to do the Scavenger Hunt.

It had been so… so odd…

As Double D tried to run away from his candy crazy friends, he was caught, tackled by Eddy, and they both fell to the ground. Suddenly, Eddy was straddling him, their hips almost connected as he shook him eagerly, his words too distant to understand. He could feel Eddy's body heat, feel his cheeks darken slightly, feel a tingle going up his spine as he stared blankly up at Eddy, his face framed by his spiky brown hair, while the sun framed his hair, putting shadows onto his face. Why, so suddenly, so oddly, did his throat seem to dry? Why was he feeling the need to lick his lips?

For a moment, he thought he saw Eddy's eyes widen, his pupils dilate, his grip become softer-

"I am back!" the moment was broken as Ed jumped on them, making it impossible for Double D to breathe for a moment, but bring him quickly back down to reality, which he was thankful for… right?

Double D shook the thought from his head. He didn't need to think about that. It was important. Wasn't a special moment. Anyway, after that, Eddy and Ed had taken a shot at the first clue. I'm sure you all know how that went…

"Clue #1:

When I grow up, I wanna be a tree..." Eddy read off, carelessly stepping on Ed as he walked and talked. "… This is so stupid…" Eddy muttered, glaring at the paper.

Double D stood and smiled.

"Absorb the clue, Eddy! "I want to be a tree"" he urged, biting his lip and hoping the short boy would get it.

Eddy stared nervously at the paper, holding it back and chewing his lower lip. Suddenly, Ed popped in between the paper and Eddy smiling.

"Oh! I know! I know!" he exclaimed, before he ran through the paper, sending Eddy flying backwards and back onto Double D's chest.

Double D's head smashed into the cement, causing a wavering and dazed smile to grace his lips, as his eyes followed the small little Eddy Devils floating around his head and smirking down upon him.

'Ooh… Look at the multiple Eddyies…' he thought, before he was partial revived by the real Eddy poking his nose and gloating,

"Ha! Too. Easy."

"I win!" Ed exclaimed as he came back, setting a huge section of watermelon on the ground. "Jawbreaker please."

Double D, having gotten up, looked to the sky for help as he said,

"Ed, why would a watermelon want to be a tree?" his tone disbelieving.

Eddy walked over next to Ed, and they both held out their hands like little boys waiting for a present.

"Jawbreaker please." They said in unison.

"You're not even close!" Double D exclaimed, before he slouched and headed over to a nearby tree. "A tree." He said plainly, hitchhiking his thumb at said tree. He then, still staring at his friends, let a hand roam through the foliage and pluck an acorn. He looked to it, loading up a little performance into his mind to point out the obvious answer.

"Oh look! An acorn!" he exclaimed with fake happiness. "Wait! Yes… Uh huh… Okay, I'll tell them." He said, as if having a conversation with the thing, the nut held close to his ear, before he pushed it away. "I'm a little acorn," he began. "And when I grow up, I want to be- A Tree!" he finished, his voice angry at the end as he pointed at the tree. "Acorn- Becomes a tree! Acorn- Becomes tree!" he continued, making Eddy and Ed look at each other, Eddy looking bored and Ed smiling slightly. "Acorn- Tree!"

Double D knew he had momentarily lost it. Those two just got him so angry! Just thinking about it made him want to scream! But he had to hold back. He didn't want to break down again, not like when the rules were lifted.

Soon, after suffering harsh repeated slaps to his stomach by Ed as torture to tell Eddy and Ed where the jawbreaker was, he had admitted there wasn't one at all. Unfortunately, it was at the same exact time Sarah, Jimmy, and Rolf arrived that he said this. Of course, he tried to tell them they had just thought it was a jawbreaker, but they wouldn't listen. He tried to give them a diploma, but they wouldn't accept it, and, as a result, he got beat up by Sarah.

And now, now he stood here, waiting for Eddy to get his fill of money. Like that would ever happen. He couldn't help but let his mind stray to that moment earlier today. The almost… pleasant feeling he got from it…

"Hey! Earth to Sockhead!" Double D blinked at the sudden hand waved in front of his face. He looked to Eddy, who was giving him a funny look. "You've been spaced out for five minutes! What's the deal?!"

Double D felt his cheeks begin to darken,

"O-oh? Nothing's wrong. Simply thinking."

On the right side of the yard, Rolf was playing the fake instrument… thing, and making Ed slither and hiss like a snake.

"Sssnake!" he hissed, having fun.

Eddy raised an eyebrow.

"Uh… Huh…" he said, obviously not believing Eddy.

Double D looked away.

"I… I have to go home now. Mother and Father will want dinner." He explained, fidgeting.

Eddy furrowed his brow.

"… You cook for your parents?" he asked. Double D's eyes widened slightly. He hadn't meant to let that slip.

"W-well, yes. Erm, only dinner though!" he assured him, taking a few steps back.

"Double D…" Eddy started, stepping closer. "What aren't you telling me?"

"N-nothing!"

"It 'aint nothin'!"

"It is so!"

"Is not!"

"Is so!"

"Is not!"

"Is so!"

"Is NOT!" shouted Eddy, a hairs breath away from Double D, the jar of quarters clutched in his hands.

Double D's chest rose and fell, feeling the odd urges begin to rise. His throat was dry. He wanted to lick his lips. A new urge appeared. Closer. He wanted to be closer. Just a centimeter. Only a centimeter closer and then…

"No!" he suddenly whispered, throwing up his hand and accidentally knocking the jar out of Eddy's hand and sent it shattering to the ground.

"My quarters!" Eddy exclaimed, about to try and get them form the ground. Unfortunately, birds began to pick them up faster than he could. "Man I hate birds!"

"I-I'm sorry Eddy!" Double D said, dashing off. "I have to prepare food soon!" No one had seemed to notice the small conflict that went on. Except for one person.

OMG!ACTUALCONFLICT!!

Wow! There's conflict in this! Amazing! Anyway! The next one will be Will Work For Ed! Yay! Almost 7 pages in total… It's 2:56am right now! twitch
