"Double D?". Edd turned to face his slow friend, Ed. "Yes, Ed?". "How do you know if you're in love?".
Edd was a bit shocked. This was the first time Ed had ever asked a serious question that wasn't about ketchup. "We-well...why do you want to know, Ed?". The taller boy shrugged.
Double D sighed. "Well...love is a very complicated thing. You see, whenever two people feel a very special bond with each other and they just know that they were meant to be together..well..they just know. I-I can't really explain love to you, you have to figure it out on your own as it happens to you". Ed smiled. "Are you in love, Double D?".
Edd's eyes widened. He had NEVER been asked something that personal before. All the years that it actually happened, nobody ever suspected a thing. Not even the person he held closet.
*sigh*....and he'll NEVER know. For all I know, he could be at home right now, calling random girls on the phone....if only he could call just ONE person...and it be ME.
"I...I'd rather not say, Ed". Soon after this statement, the sound of Kevin riding on his bike interrupted the conversation. "What're you dorks doin' here?". The two Eds looked up.
"*sigh* We're just waiting for Eddy to return from his house....we'll be gone soon". Kevin smirked at Double D, following a glance at Ed. Suddenly, Kevin grabbed a Frisbee from behind him. "Here Ed, you want it?".
Ed dropped on all fours, panting like a hound. The scene going on in front of Double D was simply astounding. It reminded him a magic show he had once seen in which the magician hypnotized his victim-er-volunteer to act like a canine. This scene ended the same way, too: Kevin acted like he threw the Frisbee and Ed, still on all fours, scurried over the unknown area in which the "Frisbee" landed.
After that was over, Kevin looked back at Double D. "Now that we're alone, tell me something...why the long face?".
Edd's eyes widened again. Why was Kevin asking him this?
"Umm..what are you talking about? Hehe..I'm just fine! Thank you for asking, though". Kevin frowned. "You're even a dork when you're faking, aren't you?". Now Edd frowned.
Kevin sighed as he took a seat next to Double D on the sidewalk. "But seriously, what's the matter?". Edd sighed. "It's just that...I was thinking a lot about...life..and..I just don't know if I'm really TRULY happy..".
Kevin smiled and put his hand on Double D's quivering shoulder. "You just need to find that one person that makes you happy". Edd looked at the boy and replied with, "You really think so? But...where exactly am I going to find that one person?". Kevin started to rub Double D's shoulder gently.
"Try looking right next to you".
