Some Demons are Worse Than Others

Chapter 4

Marie was sitting in the living room playing "Batman: Arkham City." She was alone at home and she took advantage of having the TV and PS3 to herself. It was hard to get a chance to play games for longer periods of time due to them only have one TV that was capable of being attached to the Playstation; sure it wasn't in HD or anything but they were just grateful to have such a nice game system. She had just defeated Grundy and the Penguin when she started to lose focus on playing and began thinking about Double Dee again.

"I wonder if he really meant that? Does he really want to see me again or was it just him being polite? He always has been and still is a gentleman, but that still is one of the cutest qualities of him." She thought to herself with a smile.

Marie saved her spot in the game and turned on the TV and went to their recordings. She chose to watch the newest episode of "Regular Show," even if she had already watched it once, she thought it was an awesome episode. It was when Mordicia and Rigby allowed the talking pie to 'help' them in judging the pie contest when her phone went off. She picked up and answered and the voice on the other end both shocked her and delighted her very much.

"Um hello Marie, how are you today?" Said Double Dee

"Hey Double Dee, um doing ok, just chilling at home, enjoying the quiet. Its kinda rare to have here ha."

"Ha yes I could see what you mean, glad to hear your achieving some solitude."

"Yea its pretty nice, so uh what about you? How's your day going?" Asked Marie

"Oh its all right, doing the same basically, relaxing at home just having a lazy day."

"Nice, its good to have a day that is just for whatever you want. Kind of a personal relaxing day ya know?" Said Marie

Edd clears his throat, "Yes I do agree with you, after all study shows that an excessively stressed mind and body leads to its eventual downfall. Burning the candle at both ends I believe is the correct phrase used."

"Ha yes I think your right on that Double Dee."

"Yes, well, Marie I called because, well, I am curious if you maybe wanted to, well, do something today? Of course if you have plans I understand or if your just not feeling up to any activity today."

Marie didn't know how to appropriately act to his question, what she wanted to do was tell him 'fuck yea!' but she knew that was probably not the best way of saying yes to him. She simply replied, "That sounds pretty awesome actually Double Dee, I'd like that a lot. Do you have anything in particular in mind that you want to do?"

"Would you care to join me in picking out a pumpkin for making a jack-o-lantern? Asked Edd

"Yes, that be awesome, I can pick one too, I love getting a nice big one for my jack-o-lantern Ha." Said Marie

"All right so I'll start on up and meet you at your place. I hope its ok but it will be half an hour before I will be up to meet you, I have one more chore to attend to but I'll make it fast. Promise Ha." Edd said

"No worries, I'm not going anywhere, at least till you get here anyway ha ha."

"OK see you in thirty minutes Marie."

"See you later Double Dee."

With that they hung up. When Edd hung up the phone he ran upstairs to make sure he looked good. He looked through his closet to pick out what he thought he'd look best in, also the different scents he had so his smell wouldn't offend. As he was doing this he couldn't help but chuckle at himself for caring so much about what a girl thought of his appearance. Meanwhile after Marie had hung up, she was off the couch and up the stairs to the shower.

"Of all fricking days I decide not to shower!"

She was naked and quickly started to clean her hair, herself, and her face. "I can't believe he wants to hang again, and so soon after seeing me. Hehe he's not the super shy kid he was when we first met but I could definitely tell he was nervous about asking me to hang with him. I just can't believe even after all these years, him being shy is still adorable."

Both Marie and Edd were quickly getting ready to meet again, both wanting to show a good impression to the other, without letting on they care to much of course.

Double Dee was walking up to the Kankers trailer as Marie was finishing getting dressed. She wished she had more time to prepare but it was passable for now, after all she didn't want to over do it, they were just getting pumpkins after all. She heard knocking at the door and she went downstairs to answer it. When she opened the door she felt her heart beat a little faster at how good she thought Edd looked. The same could be said about how Edd's chest had started to pound a little faster when he set eyes on Marie.

Authors Note: Oh cliffhanger. You saw it coming come on emit it HA HA. Anyway I'm sorry for the delay, but I was very busy with a couple tests and much homework preparing for those tests. I hope this chapter is enjoyable and again hope that the characters seem believable. I will update again as soon as I can, hopefully sooner this time. Thanks for reading.
