Ed, Edd, and Eddy

Chapter #4: Friendships

I own nothing except for this FAN MADE storyline! Danny Antonucci owns this original cartoon and these characters.

P.S. When you read this, try to picture it as an ANIME! XD

-Ed, Edd, and Eddy!-

When Double D woke up he was at Eddy's house, when he removed the blankets from him, he remained in his green spaghetti tank top, but he had his white jeans on. "Finally awake?" Eddy asked with a serious tone to his voice. Double D looked up to see the short teenager leaning up against the doorway, "Ed and I've been waiting, like, an hour." He growled, the little uke made his way into his bedroom and in a chair, his brown hair stood on end, and his chocolate brown eyes seemed to scan Double D's movements.

"Oh, I-I apologize. I, uh, w-why am I here?" The shota stuttered.

"Because Kevin brought ya here this morning! You went over to his house and fell asleep! Why's that?"

Double D's face flushed, "he offered to take me there because the heater in my house is..." he didn't want to lie, never had he told a lie unless Eddy forced him. "Is turned off and I-"

"Didn't want to turn it on. You don't like feeling rich." Eddy finished promptly throwing Double D's diary on the bed in between the scrawny boys legs. "Kevin read only read the ending! That book is as big a dictionary! Ed and I read it beginning to end. From your childish handwritten memories to the end! And I've got some stuff to say!" Double D quietly braced himself, clutching the oversized book in his hands while holding his legs close to him, the diary laying in his lap.

"#1. If I'm that bad of a friend where I just use you, force you to do shit you don't wanna do, then why the fuck do you hang out with me? You could've told me that stuff was really hurting your feelings! But did you ever? No! You never talked to me or anything! You just went along with it making me think that it was all OK! If I'm really that bad of a friend, then don't be my friend!

"#2. At the end, Ed and I found out that you have a crush on Kevin. First off, you're a homosexual, OK, that doesn't bother me. In fact, I'll even admit it myself! I'm gay, too!" Double D's deep, dark, ocean blue eyes widened in surprise. "Yeah, I know, hard to believe. I'm always acting like a pervert who likes girls, but no, I like men, the new kid Edmund, (Author Note: Edmund Freeman is one of my childhood characters and I missed him for a long time so, to make a long story short, I've been trying to fit him in my FanFictions, he fit perfectly for this one) I have a huge crush on him! But Kevin! I mean, come on! He's the one person that's always trying to crush us and make us look as dicks just because he thinks he's better than us! Better than everyone!"

"Did Kevin read that part? The part saying that I liked him!" Double D asked in panic.

Eddy smiled a little at his friends' worry, "No. I watched him the entire word he read. That particular paper had been ripped out of the diary though."

"I accidentally ripped it while writing once."

Eddy nodded, "oh, OK then. Anyway, I can accept you being gay, I am gay, but... these are still your feelings! So even if you do like Kevin, as your friend, I will also accept that. But, that doesn't mean he will. You do realize that? Right?" Eddy asked. Normally, Eddy would take serious things and turn them into annoying jokes and insults, but this time was way different! It was such maturity that Double D had never seen from his friend! "#3," Eddy continued, "why didn't you tell Ed or me that you were feeling so alone? Not wanting to disturb us because it's a holiday or with our families, dude! You're our best friend! If you're feeling alone, seriously, tell us! My parents love you! They'd rather have you as a child than me any day-!"

Double D frowned, "Eddy, don't say such things-"

Eddy scowled, "I don't care!" He shouted standing up and knocking the chair over. Double D moved backwards in the bed, startled by the sudden outburst. "You're a friend, if you're feeling this way, tell us! Tell me! My family and Iwould gladly invite you over, especially if you're all alone on Christmas!

"#5. Why didn't you tell us that Naz threatened you?"

"Because I thought that you really liked her, so I thought that if I told you what she said and did, you either would not believe me, or you would feel like you would lose your chance in trying to get together with her."

Eddy gazed at the tiny figure before him, still amazed that he is taller than him. "I... It was all an act. I would've bitched her out," he sighed, "#5."

"There is a fifth!"

Eddy paused to take a deep breath. "Yeah, you didn't explain why you wore a that beanie hat."

Double D took his eyes away from Eddy's. "I will not tell you the whole story. But... I will say, that when I was young, about 6, before I came here I was in gym class and all we were playing dodgeball. A girl purposely hit me in the face with a dodgeball. And that is all I will say." Eddy scoffed. "You have already seen my head anyway! You and Ed! And it must have been horrible because you guys never said anything to anyone! And it must have been horrible because you never even asked me about until now!"

"What!? Dude, haven't you ever seen your head?" Eddy asked in disbelief that he even asked such a question.

Eddward pouted and shook his head. Eddy raised his eyebrows, "I have not dared to look at my head since the incident. The only time I take it off is when I am in the shower and even then I keep it on most times!"

"What? Why?"

Edd hesitated for a long while before answering, "because... because I am afraid to see... I am afraid to see what is there."

Eddy laughed before walking over to the bed and sitting on the edge of it by his friend. "Well, do you wanna know what I saw? What made me so stunned?" Double D nodded slowly. Eddy just smiled, "on your bare bald head, tiny hairs."

Double D looked up, "hair?"

"Hair. I can't remember what color, but, they were small and growing at the top, like a root sort of, and it looked clean and neatly brushed down." Eddy reminisced, holding a hand to his chin. "I also wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for reading your diary with Ed and Kevin. I knew it was wrong and I'm sorry."

Double D smiled, "oh, it is alright. I will get over it over time."

"OK. Oh! And why didn't you say anything about covering your head?"

Double D chuckled, "because, I simply knew that somebody would go through my things eventually. You and Ed could never be trusted no matter how good of friends you are to me!"

Eddy laughed, "so we're good friends now?"

"Of course! You two have always been my best friends! Ever since we met! It just takes a while to get used to."

"Oh sure!" The boys spent some time laughing. Eventually, both boys left the room together to go see Ed who was watching the new monster TV series.

"Friends!" Chimed the orange haired boy. Bangs covered his eyebrows, length spiked underneath his chin, bright emerald green eyes gave a welcoming look. "Jeez Double D! You must've been really tired! It's already 8:00!"

Double D nearly gasped. "8:00! Oh dear! What a waste of time that I have not even used! Come, we must go!"

Ed and Eddy raised an eyebrow, "where?"

Double D blinked, "um, to school! I need to go home and change first! Let's go!"

-Ed, Edd, and Eddy!-

Double D waited on the school steps for his friends who trudged along slowly and complained the whole way and still complained once they got there. "Man, school's so fucking dumb!" Eddy grumbled.

"Language Eddy," Double D remarked waving in index finger. Normally, Eddy would take offense, but he was just glad that things were back to normal with his friend. Kevin walked by with Rolf and Naz, Double D, unknowingly, had his eyes locked on Kevin who suddenly began laughing at one of Rolf's jokes. Naz caught Double D's wondering eyes and she skillfully shoved him when no one but Ed and Eddy were looking.

"Watch it homo," she whispered in a hiss at him. Double D backed away from her, his heart pounded, his face burned, and ears rang.

Eddy rushed towards Eddward, "are you really going to let 'er get away with that?"

"What else can I do? I am weak, remember?" The bell rang and every other high schooler rushed towards the entrance of the school. "Come on, let's go."

While everyone ran through the doors and halls, the hustle and bustle got everyone going, one person pushed Double D who clumsily tripped over someone else's foot tripping them both. Both people collapsed, the other easily getting up and running over to her friends. Double D sighed. Ed and Eddy raced to their friend and helped him pick up his items and head over to the cafeteria for breakfast.

-Ed, Edd, and Eddy!-

Freshman lunch came around and everyone took their food and sat at a table in the cafeteria or bench in the main lobby. Ed, Eddy, and Double D took their seats at their usual table and talked about tests and homework. When Naz walked in with her friends, Kevin, Rolf, and other teenagers, Double D caught a glimpse of a large red book in her hands. He gasped and began looking through all of his stuff. "Dude what is it?" Eddy questioned while he watched his friend rummage through his stuff frantically.

"My diary is gone! It is missing!"

"You brought it to school?" Eddy asked in disbelief.

"Of course, I always brought it! It just looks like a dictionary!"

"I don't like dictionaries Eddy!" Ed chimed in not really understanding the situation.

"Well, where'd you lose it?" Eddy ignored Ed.

"It must have been this morning when I fell! I cannot think of any other reason," Double D answered.

"What got lost?" Ed asked.

"My-"

"Diary." Naz interrupted. The three heads spun around so faced, Eddy thought his neck cracked!

"Naz! What are you doing with that?" Double D asked in a hoarse whisper.

"I found it on the floor in the hallway this morning, it was on the floor by my locker! I thought it was a dictionary until a paper fell out saying that you liked Kevin!" She snapped.

"Not so loud whore!" Eddy insulted. Ed laughed while Double D and Naz gasped.

"Excuse me! You're the one trying to get in my pants!" She yelled, immediately heads turned their way.

Eddy frowned and held his hands up, "OK, seriously, not so loud!"

She scoffed and grinned, "at first I didn't really think you were gay, it was just a hunch, then you told me out of peer pressure. But now that I have written proof! The entire Freshman class will know!"

Double D's eyes revealed panic and surprise. He nearly leaped out of his seat, "no please! I will do anything! Please! Do not do this!" He nearly screamed, his high pitch vice chimed through the cafeteria out into the hallways attracting more people. Kevin and Rolf were about to walk up to the table until they saw Naz turn around and open a large red book.

"Everyone! Please listen! I have something to read from Double D's diary!" Naz announced, her voice booming around the room. Now everyone was listening and crowded around her waiting to hear the deep dark secrets of a scrawny bookworm. Kevin raised an eyebrow, he had already read half of the book, did he miss something? Whatever it was, he was about to find out. "Dear Diary," Naz began, "I, Eddward, have discovered that I am gay and have the biggest crush on Kevin! Lately, he has shown nothing but kindness towards me and I am starting to learn what it is like to be what is called, 'in love'. He is so cute and so kind when he wants to be.

"Such kindness is so rare to find and I never expected to find such kindness in someone like Kevin. After all, in past events, Kevin was always the one trying to hurt my friends and I by humiliation or simply beating us up. I wonder what happened to him to want to make him so nice, especially to me of all people. Nonetheless, I know that in my heart I have found a love so strong that it will never go away! I love this ruthless, coldhearted, inconsiderate, jerk who hates me. This makes no sense to me. Is love always so senseless? Who knows, this is my first time. Oh well, time to face the facts. I am gay."

Double D buried his face into his knees. He gripped his legs close to him and sobbed. His face felt hot and burned, his ears rang and heart pounded, his chest felt like it was tight and continued to tighten, and he felt like he couldn't breath. Ed scowled at the blond girl who laughed with her friends (which is everyone in the entire cafeteria and more), and patted his crying friends' back. Kevin didn't know what to say, he stood there with his friends who laughed away while Rolf pouted and walked away. 'Wow, I knew Double D was gay. I found that out seeing his underwear, but I didn't know he liked me... I missed something huge! Did I skip it? Did I not read it all?' He thought the about the different combinations but nothing made a difference.

He could see the beanie back hat but no face. The whole front remained buried in his legs. Kevin felt bad, guilt creeped up around his heart, but he didn't know what to say, let alone do. He's the cool kid! But then... there was someone perfectly innocent suffering. But he was cool, but Edd was suffering... "I'M GAY TOO!" Came a high pitched voice. The voice wasn't as high pitched as Double D's, but he was smaller. The announcement came from the cul-de-sac scammer, Eddy. Everyone scoffed and laughed. No one believed him. Eddy took another deep breath, his chest tightened, his heart began to skip beats. 'Damn it Double D you better be kissing my ass for this later!' He thought. "I am! 'Cause guess what? That new kid! Edmund Freeman?"

Now people's heads were turned. "I wasn't gay until I saw his face, o-OK!? Edmund Freeman has..." he choked, "has..." he took a breath, 'come on! I gotta do this!' He opened his mouth. "I think Edmund Freeman is super sexy and he has the hottest face!" He admitted, his face turned cherry red and burned up to his ears and he could feel his heartbeat pound in his head. Naz and other teenagers spat out, "eeeewww!" and laughter as well as backing away from the short brown haired boy as much as they kid. Rolf raised his eyebrow.

"Well, that was unexpected!" He said in his Indian accent, "who knew Eddy was gay! He's always so perverted! You know, towards woman!"

"Yeah, that's kind of crazy," Kevin agreed.

Double D stared wide eyed at his friend who slumped down next to him and drank his milk quietly. Ed moved from the side to sitting in the middle so he could rub both his friends' backs, "aww it's OK guys! I'll still love you!" He cheered. Edd and Eddy laughed a little their friends remark.

"We know Ed! We love you to." They said simultaneously. Double D wiped a few tears off his cheeks, "thanks Eddy, but you did not-"

"I know. I wanted to."

"You are lying."

"I didn't want to. But I did at the same time," he admitted truthfully. Double D cocked his head to the side, Eddy sighed, "I didn't like everyone standing there laughing at you or your feelings. They're your feelings! No one can tell you how to feel, how to feel about something or, or someone. They're your feelings, no one else has the right to say anything."

Ed nodded. Double D smiled, more tears fell, "thank you... thank you so much!" He replied as he broke down into more tears sobbing, he hid his face into his arms again. Eddy nodded, he couldn't seem to say, "you welcome", he felt hurt. It was Freshman lunch. Edmund's a Sophomore, but, Edmund was standing with one of the lunch ladies when he ran his mouth. Eddy knew that, he knew that when he stood up from his seat. He looked directly at Edmund when he yelled out his confessions. He had confessed his feelings to his crush in front of everyone.

He sighed, allowing his bangs to cover his eyes, he let the tears roll down.

-Ed, Edd, and Eddy!-

At the end of the day, the Ed's were ecstatic to finally go home. They all went to Double D's mansion to do homework, study for any upcoming tests, and play video games all the while relaxing their minds by taking naps and making jokes, and going through Double D's walk-in closet seeing all of his clothes which are all girls' clothes. Like dresses, skirts, long socks, some fishnets, panties, and "doll dresses" which are dresses that are normally worn on those glass dolls, but they're "human sized" for little or teenage girls to wear. "Ugh, I wish I was a girl!" Eddy complained.

"Why?" Ed asked.

"For several reasons! 1, so I could beat the shit out of Naz! 2, so I could go out with any man I want without being harassed! 3, so that maybe Edmund would like me," he whined.

"Nonsense! I think being a male suits you much better than being a female, it would not match your personality Eddy! Plus, if Edmund really likes you, then I think that he would give you a chance or at least accept you and your feelings, for who you are. That is how you can tell if someone cares about you!" Double D explained logically as if love were something logical that could be easily explained.

Eddy laughed, "says someone who has a crush on the biggest douche bag ever! You think that dick will ever accept you? Not trying to hurt your feelings!" He added quickly.

Double D shrugged, "I do not know. It is just a crush. If he does accept me, great, if not, I will get over it."

Ed placed his hands on his cheeks, "but Naz read love in your diary Double D! She said that you love Kevin!"

"Yeah!" Eddy chimed in.

Double D sighed, "OK, maybe it is a little more than a crush!"

"A little?" Ed asked.

"Ugh, I will tell you guys some time later, it is getting late now though and we have school tomorrow," Double D sighed, "school..."

"Wow! I never thought I'd hear you say that Double D!" Ed remarked.

"Yeah, well, now I do have something to fear in school!" Double D added, "now go home!" He whined.

Eddy laughed, "hold on! Double D!"

"Yes?"

"You're a lilo-shota-"

"I am a what?"

"A loli-shota. OK, seme means: masculine, uke: means feminine. Shota means: 'a young feminine gay boy who wears feminine clothing (not necessarily girls clothes, but like a mix. In between girly and boyish).' and loli-shota means: 'a feminine gay boy who looks like a girl and often wears girl clothes' (Authors Notes: these are MY definitions)."

"Oh!"

"You're a loli-shota and I'm a shota, so, what's Ed?" Eddy asked.

Double D screwed up his face, "I have no idea. And you are a shota? I thought you were just uke."

Eddy gasped, "are you kidding me? Come over to my house real quick!"

-Ed, Edd, and Eddy!-

"I don't have anything super girly or fancy, cutesie, like you do Double D. Like, I don't wear frilly skirts and fancy doll like dresses. But! I do wear some pretty feminine skirts!" Eddy explained opening his closet to reveal to his friends the skimpiest black leather skirts, knee-length boots, and spaghetti strap tank tops that are also belly shirts. "Shota, a feminine gay boy who wears feminine clothing. Loli-shota, a feminine gay boy who looks like a girl and wears girl clothing. You Double D, are a loli-shota, you look like a girl, act like a girl, and most certainly dress like one!

"I on the other hand am feminine, but I dress in between! Sure, I have some skirts and belly shirts, but I also have skinny jeans, baggy jeans, normal T-shirts, sweatshirts, sneakers, knee-length boots with flats, and some knee-length boots with heels. I'm feminine, but I dress in between, Double D only has girl clothes! He has from skirts, dresses, jeans not baggy or skinny, but normal jeans, and even panties! The only 'masculine' thing you have are sneakers!" Eddy explains using clothes as an example.

Double D nodded in agreement understanding the examples but Ed didn't get it. "So if Double D is a manly woman and you're in between what underwear do you wear Eddy?"

Double D nodded to Eds' question, "yes, uke's wear boxers, loli-shota's such as myself wear panties, what do normal shota's wear?"

Eddy giggled, "panties. Because we're still feminine and although we (all shota's) don't go to the extreme in wearing all these girly clothes, we're still a bit feminine so, we wear panties to."

"So... what's the difference?" Ed asked.

"Huh?"

"What is the difference Eddy? Between a shota and a loli-shota?" Double D asked.

"Oh, there's no real difference. Just that shota's are more 'tomboy' than loli-shota's. It's kind of like a girly girl and a tomboy lesbian dyke girl."

"What?" Ed asked.

Eddy sighed, "one is tomboy girl the other is girly girl."

"OH!" Ed replied realizing it. "So what am I Eddy?"

"Huh? Well, are you, uh, gay?"

"What's that mean?"

"Do you like men? Like, looking at mens-"

"Eddy!" Double D interrupted.

"What!? How else is lumpy gonna understand it?" Eddy questioned.

"Just let it go for now, besides, it is already 9:00. We need to get to bed."

"OK, fine. Ed! Are you spending the night here or what?" Eddy hollered to Ed who was making his way towards the bathroom.

"Yeah! My mom said I could!"

"OK! Well, see ya tomorrow Double D!"

"See you." Replied the other boy on the way out of the bedroom door, he suddenly turned around, placing his hand on the doorknob, "oh and Eddy!"

"Yeah?" Eddy said folding up his clothes.

"Thanks for everything that you did for me today."

Eddy closed his eyes and smiled, "well, what are friends for huh?"

"Haha! Yeah. Thanks, goodnight."

"Goodnight."
