"You know what I'm saying Dee," Nat said. "You have to defend yourselves."

Edd thought for a minute.

"How do I toughen up?" He asked, sighing.

"Okay, for starters, you need to be rude, sarcastic, mean, and manipulative," Nat said.

"B-but, I don't know how to do that, I'm not rude or any of those things," Edd frowned.

"I'll teach ya," Nat said, grinning stupidly.

"Uhm, alright," Edd said.

Nat pulled up a chair to the kitchen table and Edd sat down across from him.

"Okay, let's start off with a few situations," Nat said. Edd nodded.

"Okay, two guys approach you, they're mean and they want money, what do you do?" Nat said.

"Uhm, give them the money of course," Edd said.

"Nope, you punch their lights out," Nat said.

"Okay," Edd said, biting his lip.

"Alright, next one," Nat said.

They did a few more situations before quitting and moving onto something else. Nat decided to teach Edd how to punch. Nat walked the raven through everything from how to stand, how to swing, and how to cause major damage to someone's face.

"Okay Dee, now I want you to come at me, just like I showed you," Nat said.

"I d-don't know, Nat," Edd said. "I don't want to hurt you."

Nat laughed.

"I'll be fine double delicious, don't worry about me," Said the green haired teen.

"U-uhm, a-alright," Edd sighed. The raven approached Nat and struck him hard in the nose. Nat was taken aback.

"Whoa, jesus Edd," Nat said. "You've got some punch."

Edd stared at Nat with wide eyes.

"Nathan, I am deeply sorry," the raven said.

"Don't be," Nat grinned. "You're getting tougher."

"I am?" Edd asked, shocked.

"Yeah Dee, if we keep working, you'll be a total badass," Nat said.

"Well, I don't know about that," Edd said.

"C'mon man, you won't be harassed anymore," Nat said. "And you can get rid of annoying douchebags at school."

"Well, I guess we can keep working," Edd said after a few minutes.

"Great, and you like to swim, right?" Nat asked.

"Yes, of course, it's such a relaxing sport," Edd beamed.

"Well, they have tryouts for the swim team in a few weeks, you should go," Nat said.

"Okay sure, I don't know if I'll make the team though," Edd said.

"I have no doubt you won't," Nat said.

"Thanks," Edd said.

"Alright, back to work," Nat said.

"Okay," Edd sighed.
