DISCLAIMER: I do not own Ed Edd n' Eddy
Over the course of the week leading up to their friends return, the other Cul-de-sac kids were growing impatient and restless. They continuously tried to busy themselves with random activities their minds could think of. Nothing was working. They needed a distraction, and they needed it badly. Little thoughts and questions that had built up over the course of five years had plagued their thoughts and kept nagging at the back of their brains. What if he changed so much he doesn't recognize us? What if he doesn't want to be our friends anymore? What if he does drugs and drinks? What if he's a bad kid? Most of these thoughts by the worrisome Double D, but everyone was concerned. School was a good distraction, sure. But when your best friend has been across the country for five years is coming back for good, you tend to be excited and not focus on your schoolwork.
Finally, the day had come. The day where Eddy was meant to return. The kid's excitement doubled in size and they found themselves sitting outside his home waiting for his arrival. Seconds felt like minutes. Minutes felt like hours. Time passed so slowly that Double D was afraid he would pass out. Sooner or later, they all distracted themselves with other activities, while still sitting on the lawn. Kevin played on his phone with Rolf watching over his shoulder. Double D was reading, like always. Ed was reading an old torn up comic book about mutant zombies. Jimmy and Sarah were drawing. This continued for an hour until Double D finished his book, Ed finished his comic for the third time, Kevin's phone died, so he went and put it on the charger in his home before coming back, and Jimmy and Sarah ran out of paper to draw on.
"I'm hungry." Nazz complained. Kevin nodded as his stomach growled, seconding Nazz's complaint. "Do you guys want to get something to eat and then meet back here in like, half an hour?" Kevin suggested. Nazz readily agreed. Double D wasn't so ready to leave, neither was Ed. "Ed and I want to stay here until Eddy returns. We feel as if he should be greeted by a familiar face on his first day." Ed nodded and smiled before flopping back on the grass and staring at the clouds. "Double D, dude, you need to eat." Nazz said, placing a hand on the blond haired boy's shoulder. "We get that you're excited, but you can't starve yourself." Double D sighed, knowing they wouldn't drop the subject until he ate something. "Very well. But only for half an hour." Double D pushed himself off of the grass and Ed followed his example.
The teens split up and went into their own respective houses to eat some lunch. Double D grabbed a book that a teacher gave him before he 'graduated' middle school and went on to High School. It was 'To Kill A Mockingbird'. Their old English teacher had noticed how much Double D enjoyed the book and gave it to him, as the copy was meant to be replaced anyway. He went into his garage and grabbed a box of sidewalk chalk. It had been his when he was a small boy, but it had been sitting there for years. He figured Sarah and Jimmy could draw with it. He retraced his steps back into the living room and grabbed one of his mother's magazines. It was a gossip magazine, so it practically had Nazz's name written all over it. There was a football in his backyard from his father's younger days. Amazingly, it didn't need to be pumped up, so Double D could just give Kevin permission to grab it. And Rolf would most likely join him. Double D smiled. "At the very least, they will have some form of entertainment." Double D said to himself.
Double D exited his home and walked next door to Eddy's home, where the others were patiently waiting. When they saw the objects in his hand, their faces brightened and they rushed over to the blond boy. Sarah and Jimmy began to draw an array of cartoon drawings. Kevin and Rolf were throwing the football back and forth across the street in Kevin's yard, since they didn't want to hit anyone in Eddy's yard. Nazz was sitting in the shade of a nearby tree, flipping through the magazine. Ed had brought out a large stack of his own comic books and was currently reading "Hero from Mars". From what Double D heard from Ed, it was about a Martian who was captured by humans and had to escape and stop the Earthlings from invading his planet. It was one of Ed's favorites. Double D was reading his book and soon got lost in it.
Eventually, Nazz finished her magazine and began to complain. "He's still not here yet! How long are we going to be waiting here?" Kevin and Rolf, who had finished their little game and come over to sit down, shrugged simultaneously. "Los Angeles is across the country, Nazz. It's most likely going to take a while."
As soon as he said those words, a black, rundown, coupe pulled into the cul-de-sac. It was being followed by a large white moving truck. As the car got closer, they could make out more details about the two inside of the car. The one driving the car was Eddy's brother. He still had his ratty old cap on and his sunglasses blocked his eyes. He had a jersey on for some random sports player that no one could put a name to. The person in the passenger seat, who they assumed was Eddy, was covered in a black hood. He was leaning against the window with the hood over his face so he could sleep. When the car was parked, Bro go out of the car and stretched. He had the window down, so he simply just said:
"Wake up shithead. We're here."
"Fuck off. You woke me up at three in the morning, I'm sleeping." A deep voice replied.
"Fine, you can sleep in the car."
"Wouldn't be the first time." The figure mumbled. "You locked me in the car last year and I would have had to sleep there. But I ended up busting your window out. Which you still never fixed."
The kids looked at the car and noted that the back window of the passenger side was covered in cardboard.
"Yeah, I know! I was trying to impress Kat but you had to go and ruin it! And besides, I don't have the money to fix it!" Bro shouted at him. Eddy scoffed. Keeping his hood on, he turned to his brother. "As if. If anything, she was thrown off by your overbearing ego!"
"HEY!" all of the kids said in unison. Bro looked toward them. He glared and most of them paled. "Can you please stop fighting?" Nazz asked. Eddy got out of the car. "Whatever. He's not worth my time." He took off his hood. It revealed spiky black and blue hair. His brown eyes looking straight at the kids. He was wearing a black hoodie with dark blue faded jeans. He had black and blue Nikes. He had army style dog tags around his neck and, on the same chain, was a ring. You could see his headphones threaded through his sweatshirt and dropped down. He was about as tall as Rolf. He walked toward the group.
"Hey guys. Long time no see." Eddy smirked.
Hey guys! I stayed up late (kind of) to finish this one! So I don't know if Bro has a name other than bro, so I might just name him. I'm thinking like Damien or something. I don't know. If you have an idea of what he should be named, let me know.
Thanks for all of the support! I really appreciate it. It makes me feel as if I'm doing something right with my life :)
New chapter will be up soon!
Mmkay. Bai :D
