January 16'Th, 2012

Forecast: Partially cloudy

Location: Peach Creek, Cul-de-sac

The gang soon began walking into the candy store as Double D kept on showing everyone every single detail of the way the cul-de-sac was made, why it was founded, when it was build, etc.

"Dude, can you cut us a break with the history lesson already?" Yosuke said, sounding very bored, not really caring about how peach creek was found by Eddy's ancestor's (Completely ignoring the Kankers side mind you) "Can we just look around like normal people…?"

Double D soon sighed as Eddy soon stopped everybody from moving on with the tour "I think it's about time we put the tour on hold sockhead" Said Eddy "Anyway this is the candy shop, the home and Land of the legendary Jawbreakers!"

"Question…" Yukiko soon raised her hand "Why exactly are we going to buy Jawbreakers..?"

"That my fair lady is an excellent question" Eddy said as he soon began to walk "You see, Jawbreakers from where you guys are, might just be one of those small little balls that you can't chew, But, what if I told you that there were giant jaw breakers bigger than the size of your own head!?"

"What?" Yosuke said in disbelief "Come on, you're just messing with us…"

Eddy soon smirked as they soon entered the candy store, Teddie soon looked around and stared at all the other candies, fudge, chocolates, caramel and all the other snacks he had, he sighed happily as he soon began to tug Eddy's shirt.

"Hey, you think we can buy all the candy here!?" he said excitedly, Eddy soon Shushed Teddie by putting some duct tape over his mouth.

"Well that was annoying…" He said bluntly "Anyway, we're only gonna take a pick of one of THESE BABIES!" Eddy soon showed the Investigation team the giant orbs of liquid sugar, the teens looked at in in awe, never in their lives have they seen a snack so big before.

"W-Woah!" Said Yosuke "Th-Those are jawbreakers!?"

"Yep" Eddy said as he soon paid the cashier for eleven jawbreakers "Now Dig in everybody!" The Ed's soon put the giant orbs inside of their mouth with ease, having the wonderful taste of the jawbreakers invade their taste buds, as the investigation team had trouble with eating their food, Yousuke just decided to poke it for a bit and kept on looking around it, trying to see if there was just some weird way to eat it.

"Mishter Hanahmarah?" Said double D with his mouth stuffed with a Jawbreaker "Awe you Habinch thrubhl wih your awbweaker?"

"How The hell are you guys able to eat it so easily!?" He said with a hint of jealousy and anger

"Eh, uou get ush to it wen you ive here fo as lwong ash we haf" Said Eddy with his Jawbreaker inside of his mouth as well.

"Hmm…" Chie Soon tried stuffing it into her mouth but it was nearly impossible as her mouth wasn't big enough "Darn it, I can't do it!"

Teddie soon took his duct tape off of his mouth as he soon kept on looking at the giant orb then opened his mouth wide. butt after he was about to dig in Double D then took the jawbreaker away from Teddie as he soon looked at the bit into his own teeth then angrily looked at his direction.

"Hey!" Said Teddie "Whats the big idea, I was about to chow down to some sweet sugary goodness!"

"Nho Nho Theddie you don't unersand" He explained "It hash to desholv in your mouf fo you to enjoy."

Yu soon stared into the jawbreaker and then with ease he put the entire thing into his mouth, the rest of the investigation team looked at him with confusion in their eyes.

"Is not dat hard…" Yu said while he had the jawbreaker on one side of his cheek

"Come on bro what the hell!" Yosuke said as he still had his jawbreaker in his hands.

Later

The rest of the Investigation team decided to save their jawbreakers for later as it was nearly impossible for them to eat it, except for Yu and the Ed's who had finished theirs a long time ago, Eddy soon laughed as he soon walked alongside Yu.

"Man Yu, You sure can know how to stomach a jawbreaker," Said Eddy "it usually takes people a few months before they get down to it."

"It wasn't so hard" Yu explained "I just had to put it in my mouth right?"

"Show off." Yosuke said under his breath

"Don't be so glum Yosuke kun" Double D said "I'm sure you'll get down to it eventually, why it took me about a year till I finally got down to eating a jawbreaker."

"Oh...that's reassuring…"

Double D soon frowned and then saw Eddy chuckle slightly and then gave Eddy a more 'Shut up' type look, as Eddy looked away and began to whistle in an Innocent look on his face.

"Anyway, we should probably get you all to the hotel" Double D announced to the investigation team "We still have enough money for the bus so we can-"

"Double D!" Eddy Interrupted his hoodie wearing friend as he soon had an idea "We can't let our new friends go through the horrible buses, I mean, these are exchange students from Japan, like they probably ride on trains all the time, as well as like dragons and stuff."

"Dragons…?" Naoto asked feeling a bit offended by Eddy's comment

"Yeah...you guys don't ride in like Dragons or anything like that, maybe nimbus clouds, Giant robots or-"

"Stop, right now." Double D said to Eddy, he soon sighed as he soon began to talk once more.

"I just thought that it'd be nice if WE offered you guys some transportation!" Eddy Said as the investigation team looked at Eddy a confused look in their faces

"Wait a sec." Kanji said "You guys can't even drive, how are you gonna get us to the hotel?"

"Glad you asked Kanji!" Eddy said as he soon snapped his fingers and then walked into a corner while the others followed him, he soon presented them with a bus made out of cardboard Boxes, and a few Wagons on the bottom, as well as seats inside attached with duct tape and rope to keep the Wagons a hold, it also had a rope that Ed had to pull on the floor, Eddy soon looked at the Group and smiled wickedly.

"Yeah…"Chie soon backed up a bit and then pointed at the 'bus' "There's no way I'm getting on that thing…"

Eddy soon looked Chie who seemed to be pretty mad.

"Y-Yeah that's pretty stupid!" he said hastily as he soon kicked the ride out of the way and threw it in a nearby dumpster I-It was just a joke we pull in peach creek a-all the time...heh heh….yeah...funny…" he soon took out the 48 dollars and walked to a nearby bench waiting for the bus to arrive.

"Let's...just wait for the bus then…" Double D said "I do apologize for Eddy's rude behavior, he likes for me and Ed to participate in his sc-" Eddy soon threw a rock at the boy, causing him to fall down.

"Screaming at others." Eddy said nervously "You see, I have a tendency to r-randomly scream AHH! S-See just uh just like that...heh heh..." The others looked at Eddy in confusion as they soon turned away and waited for the bus to show up.

Eddy soon took Double D from the collar and then looked at Chie and back at him.

"Look Sockhead" Eddy began "That Chie girls really weird, like, she's making me feel these weird feelings I thought whenever I talked to Nazz, but for her it's like that but a bazillion times more!"

"Eddy what are you-" Then it hit him, this was something Eddy wasn't really use to yet, but now it was finally happening to him, he thought that he would be the first one to experience this, but surprisingly it was Eddy

"Eddy...don't you know what that feeling is?"

"Wh-What is it Double D?"

"You're in love Eddy!"

"AHH!" He soon covered Double D's mouth before the others looked at them again "Uhh...me and Double D need to t-talk in private…" he soon grabbed his friend and walked back to the alley.

"Eddy, I can't believe I'm saying this but, it seems as if you've seem to grown a bit interested in Miss Satonaka…" he said with a light smile as he soon put his hand on Eddy's shoulder "Oh Eddy, I already hear wedding bells."

"Come on Double D!" Eddy said as he soon covered his friends mouth "Look I-I don't want to be crushing on that Chie girl alright, mostly 'cause I don't think I….NO look you CAN'T say this to anyone, you got it sockhead!"

"Eddy, I'm sure if you told Miss Satonaka she'd understand and-"

"SWEAR!"

"A-Alright Eddy I swear I won't tell Miss Satonaka anything h-honest!"

"Good...keep it that way…" he soon walked out to see everyone again as Double D soon followed, they soon saw the bus stop by and then Eddy walked over and then paid for the others to take their seats, Double D soon sat down as Eddy sat next to him, he kept on staring at Chie, who was sitting down with Yukiko, she was chatting with her about something, but couldn't really make what she was talking about.

Rise was sitting down as Ed soon walked over and sat next to the Pop star, he gave her a goofy smile as he kept on staring at her for a while.

"Ed is really happy Rise!" He said "I get to sit next to you, oh boy, I'm just really happy, oh oh do you wanna see my pudden skin collection tomorrow?!"

"Uhh…" Rise tried her best not to freak out, he was her biggest fan after all "Th-that's nice Ed but I-I don't think we'll have time, since we are getting a tour of your home and all, r-right Double D?"

"Actually" Double D said "I scheduled every single Detail on what we'll be looking at here in peach creek, but we're only going to sections of our home, so we might have time to visit the Cul-de-sac."

"Oh...perfect…" Rise said as she slumped down and sighed deeply.

The bus soon started moving as Naoto sat down by herself, as Double D saw this, he Decided to sit next to the junior detective and give her a calming smile.

"Are you alright Naoto san?" he asked "You seem very distant with the others, is something wrong?"

"Oh Eddward san…" She said as she looked away "No I'm fine, I'm just...not as sociable as the others...I hope you understand, I'm not trying to avoid you or them, I just have a lot in my mind is all, I hope you understand…"

"I don't think I do, would you mind and elaborate for me?"

"No offence but...I don't think I should tell you what's going on right now…"

Double D soon sighed as he soon looked away from the detective and back at the others, he smiled seeing them all get along so well, he felt as if Naoto didn't want to participate in her friends, little did he know, she was thinking about the case, one of the missing victims was born here in peach creek, and was related to Eddy, she needed to find a way on how to talk to Eddy about what he knows about his brother, this was going to be difficult , but she had a job to do.

"Oh it looks like we're here already!" Double D said as he soon stood up and ran to the front "Alright now everyone the school in Inaba made sure to leave your clothes and accessories back at the hotel, you should be getting your bags as soon as you reach the entrance."

"Thanks Double D!" Yosuke said as he soon walked out of the bus to check out the Hotel, it was a Decently wide and tall building, with Yellow and Red color schemes, it had three spinning doors and a bellhop with their things

"Hello there sir" The Bellhop said "You're the winner of the contest I presume?"

"Yep, and these are my friends!" Yosuke said as the others greeted the Bellhop

"Alright then, Allow me to show you all your rooms for the next five months." He said Cheerily as he opened the door for them and entered the hotel.

"Well gentlemen" Said Double D "lets go and help our friends into their ho-" As Double D was going to finish, he was soon Interrupted by eddy who took all of Chie's bags and started to lift them all.

"H-Here Ch-Chie...let me help you out…!~" Eddy said as he began sweating and smiled at the brown haired girl.

"Uhh...thanks Eddy, that sure is nice of you." She said giving the boy a thankful looking smile

"Oh yeah, score one for Eddy~" He said to himself

"What was that?" She asked

"Uhh I mean...HEY L-LETS GET THIS TO YOUR ROOM!" He said as he started to run but soon tripped and fell onto the floor.

"Oh dear…" Double D said as Ed soon picked up all of the Investigation teams bags, giving the bellhop an easier time as he soon gave everyone their room numbers

"Aw yeah, King size bed for me!" Yosuke said as he soon ran up the Escalator, waiting for the others to follow.

"Ah man finally!" Kanji said as he stretched a bit "I need to get some shut eye anyway, got a big day tomorrow and everything."

"Ahh, I can't wait to see all the pretty girls here~" Teddie said as Double D soon sighed.

"I don't think that will be happening anytime soon Teddie…" he said as teddie soon groaned in displeasure.

"Well thats just boring…" Teddie said kicking the floor and pouting as the escalator soon came down and opened for the guests to enter and take them to their hall.

"Oh Chie chan." Yukiko said "I was thinking when we get to our rooms, we could eat my special lunches I made for everyone."

"Oh Oh! Lunches!?" Ed said as he soon dropped everyones bags "can I get one, Huh can I!?"

"Sorry Ed kun." Yukiko said with a slight giggle "I made lunches just for my friends, I'll try and-"

"Ed can have mine!" Yosuke said with a smug grin as he soon gave Ed his lunch that Yukiko gave to him.

"Oh thanks Yosuke!" Ed said as he soon opened the lid and then saw purple fog come out of the mess of food Yukiko made.

"Yosuke! How could you!" Yu said as he soon saw Ed dig in to Yukiko's food, and surprisingly Ed wanted Seconds.

"Yummy, that tastes great!" Ed said with a big grin on his face.

"W-Well…" Yukuko said in surprise "Thank you Ed kun, b-but that was suppose to be for Yosuke, is there something you're trying to say Yosuke kun?"

"Of course not, I-I uuh….just ate too much while we were on the last train over here!"

"Well..at least someone likes my cooking" Yukiko said as Ed soon starts gobbles up all of the lunches Yukiko made for her friends

"E-Ed...thats mean...you should have let us eat it!" Yu said as he looked a bit upset, but soon winked at Ed for eating the lunch

"Yeah Ed...N-Not cool…" Kanji said as he too winked at the lump.

"Do you guys have something in your eyes?" he asked as he ate everyone elses food in one gulp

"Ed!" Double D said as he sighed deeply and bowed to everyone "I-I apologize everyone for Ed's Behavior"

"Oh I-Its alright Double D!" Chie said reassuringly

"Yeah!" Said Rise "We uuh...w-weren't that hungry anyway!"

"Well…" Yukiko sighed "If it's alright with them, then it is for me, so don't worry Ed kun."

"Well it's getting late" Double D said as he soon "So I think it'd be best if we go back to our homes right gentlemen?"

"Yeah yeah.." Eddy Said as he soon walked over to his friend as he groaned "Man, I really wanted to help that girl out some more…"

"Mmm, I wonder if Yukiko's gonna make me some more of that yummy purple stuff!?" Ed Said with Excitement as he followed his friends out of the Hotel.

"Well gentlemen" Said Double D "We'll be back tomorrow around 7:30 AM so we must get some sleep soon."

Later

Yu was laying down in his bed as he stared at the ceiling, he was thinking a lot about Nanako and hoping Dojima was at least looking after her more, but more importantly he hoped that what Naoto heard was false with her investigation, as well as her lead

"The midnight channel…" Yu said to himself "Here too…?"
