Chapter 4

Edd returned to the Cul-De-Sac with his teddy bear still in his arms. Everyone looked his direction when he arrived. He had a pretty tight grip on his bear.

"Dude, you still have that old thing?" Kevin questioned.

"Bears are for sissy's Double D. Get rid of it," Eddy said. He remembered the second day Edd lived in Peach Creek. Edd never let go of it. Kevin made fun of him for it, and this made Edd upset. Eddy somehow or another got Edd to stop carrying the dumb bear around. Now Edd was just going to make a fool of himself again.

"Eddy, you know that, Tom, means something to me. He brings memories back to me," Edd protested.

"I said, get rid of the stupid bear," Eddy angrily said. Eddy then grabbed onto the bears leg. He tried to yank it out of Edd's arms. Edd wouldn't let him though. "I TOLD YA' SEVEN YEARS AGO TO GET RID OF IT, AND I AM TELLING YOU AGAIN TO GET RID OF IT!"

"EDDY, LET GO OF TOM!" Edd said, starting to get mad.

"NO SOCKHEAD, GET RID OF IT!"

"NO, YOU LET GO!" Edd said, now starting to lose his temper. The leg of Tom started to rip. They tugged, and they tugged until finally, they ripped the leg off. Tears started to form in Edd's Eyes. One of his most precious possessions, was broken.

"NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" Edd yelled in rage. He snatched Tom's leg out of Eddy's hand, and ran home.

"Now look what you did, Dorky," Kevin said.

"Me and Plank really needed his help. Now that he is upset, he won't be able to help," Jonny said not so pleased. "Look how unhappy Plank is." Jonny put his wooden board into Eddy's face. The board had two eyes and a smile drawn onto it.

"Bad boy Eddy! You made Double D cry," Ed said, as he started to cry as well. Everyone, except Ed left the scene, not to happy. They were mad at Eddy. Eddy had done some pretty bad things, but he had gone a bit far this time.

"What'd I do?" Eddy questioned Ed.

"You made Double D cry," Ed said, still crying.

"I know that, Lumpy, but what is so bad about that? I only told him to get rid of the bear."

"You just don't like Tom, Eddy. Tom is so cool, but you want to get rid of him, just like the last time!" Ed whined. He started to cry a river, literally.

"Stop crying, Ed. You're ganna make me…" Eddy started to tear. "NOW look what you've done!" Eddy was now crying, which rarely happened. He felt so guilty. He had to apologize to his dear friend. "DOUBLE D!" Eddy shouted as he ran towards Edd's house. He knocked on the door. He waited a few minutes, then, a man with a grey suit answered the door.

"Hello, who might you be?" The man asked. The man had Black hair, and wore square, black glasses. His hair was neat and tidy, along with the rest of his body.

"Is Double D there? I want to apologize for ripping his bear," Eddy said.

"POOR TOM IS DEAD!" Ed cried.

"I'm not quite sure he is up to seeing anyone right now," the man said.

"Who are you?" Eddy questioned.

"I am Eddward's father. You must be his friend that made him so distressed," Edd's father said.

"I didn't mean to," Eddy said in defense. "I was trying to…help him."

"Help him, how?"

"From embarrassment. I didn't want him to be embarrassed, yeah that's it." Eddy lied.

"Okay, I will let you in. He is upstairs in his room," Edd's father said as he stepped aside for Ed and Eddy to enter. Ed an Eddy raced in, ran upstairs, and into Edd's room. When they entered Edd's room, they saw him sewing Tom's leg back on. He was mumbling to himself, and mumbled something about Hawaii. Eddy couldn't make it all out. Ed just ran over to Edd and pulled him into a big bear hug.

"DOUBLE D!" Ed shouted with joy. Ed had the biggest smile on his face. He was so happy, that he didn't notice Edd was turning blue.

"Ed, could…you….p-please….let go of me….I…am suffocating…" Edd struggled to say.

"WHAT?" Ed asked as if he couldn't hear.

"He said to let go of him, Lumpy," Eddy said. Ed let go of Edd. Edd fell onto his floor, face down. He got up, and brushed himself off. Edd glanced at Eddy's direction. He noticed Eddy looked as if he had something to say.

"Double D…" Eddy started. "I know this is something you would never hear me say, but….I'm sorry."

These words struck Edd. These were the words he wanted Eddy to say this whole time. A big smile formed on his face. He knew he had to forgive Eddy, but even if Eddy didn't apologize, he would have forgiven him. Edd was such a passive person, after all. "Eddy, I forgive you. I'm sorry for getting so mad. I shouldn't have yelled."

"Stop apologizing all the time, Sockhead. You have nothin' to apologize for. You're such a passive person." Eddy said.

"The word you are looking for is passive, Eddy." Edd corrected,

"Whatever, Double D," Eddy said, not caring.

"Shall we start scamming?" Edd asked his friend. He knew that he wanted to spend as much time as he could with his friends, before he moved.
