Ed, Edd n Eddy: New Adventures
Chapter 7: Saturday
Saturday had finally reached the cul-de-sac as Double D scurried around his house. He was ticking of the last of his chores on the sticky notes his parents had left him. Checking the notes one last time he saw that he had finished all the chores. Smiling to himself he ran off to clean himself up. He was planning to going over to Kevin's in a bit for the monster truck rally. Double D wasn't really interested in monster trucks but it was a good time to spend with his friends and socialize.
After the events with the Kanker's Kevin made sure no one was going to ruin his monster rally day. He made sure his folks (who were away visiting their parents kept their phones on at all time so he could call them in an emergency and he also prepared to call the police if need be). Kevin also promised there would be food in the house so that no one would have to leave to get some and run the chance of getting jumped by the Kanker's. He even told everyone to go straight from their place to his between 12:00-12:15 as he said he would be waiting at his door keeping an eye on the cul-de-sac from his house during that time. While many thought Kevin was being too jumpy Kevin learnt from experience it's best to be safe than sorry he still remembered when everyone thought the Ed's were gone and stumbled on that monkey land which led to most of the kids getting hurt.
Double D remembered the events of that day when the kanker's attacked them that he and Eddy noticed Ed didn't have any clothes under his costume and Ed being very unhelpful in trying to help locate them, they decided to check Double D's house. After looking in his basement he was able to find Ed's clothes. It turned out that after Ed had got the mask on his head and proceeded to remove all his clothes to wear the costume. He made sure Ed got his clothes and wore them home. As Double D said "What would your mother think that after two days of not seeing you the day you are back you go and come home with no clothes?"
As Double D entered the bathroom he noticed how dirty his hands were from taking out the trash. He felt sick looking at them and rushed to the sink to clean them. He scrubbed his hands until he was sure they were perfectly clean. As he looked up he saw his own reflection in the mirror. Double D looked at his check where Marie had kissed him and a small hint of a smile spread across his face. He was not sure what came over him. Marie had and still was his mortal enemy and he was positive if the opportunity came her or her sisters wouldn't miss a chance to torment him or his friends.
No his opinion of her was still the same. But in a small part the seeds of doubt were sown. Over the last few days he had thought about Marie and became slightly more interested to know the kind girl who said sorry. Double D shook his head to clear his thoughts and remembered where he was meant to be. Finishing washing his hands he looked himself over saw that his clothes were perfectly clean, wrote a note to tell his parents (who were in town) where he would be and left for Kevin's.
Double D made the short stroll over to Kevin's and rang the door bell. It was answered almost immediately by Kevin.
"Sup man come on in everyone else is here" Kevin nodded towards the main room from which noise of the rally and the scream of the kids could be hard coming from. Double D gave his thanks and walked in while Kevin glanced over his shoulder to make sure there was no Kanker's around.
When Double D entered the main room he saw Ed lying right in front of the TV eyes glued to it. Rolf was sitting on the arm chair sipping from a cup of what smelled like his great nana's eel soup, Eddy and Nazz where on the couch and much to Double D's amusement Eddy was quite close to her evidence of him trying to chat her up. Sarah and Jimmy where on the other side of the room Sarah quite bored but Jimmy enjoying her presence along with the presence of the other kids. Double D noted Jonny wasn't there but Kevin didn't really like Jonny and after hearing from Eddy how Jonny tried to attack him when he was with Lee in the forest it was no surprise to not see him there.
Double D sat on the other end of the couch not occupied by Eddy and Nazz and watched the rally. Kevin followed Double D in and turned to address the room "So no one had any problems getting here?"
"Oh Kevin man don't worry so much we got here fine and even then the Kanker's rarely show up here without a reason" Nazz said.
"Yeah your right" agreed Kevin before sitting down between Nazz and Double D "Monster Trucks! Monster Trucks!" he started to chant before everyone else joined in. Double D would admit though he didn't like monster truck rally's he was enjoying himself. Everyone was having a good time. Ed started to play with Jimmy and Sarah and pretended to be a monster truck going to run them over. Both screamed from excitement and played along though Double D made sure Ed didn't let his imagination get the better of him.
Rolf would occasionally complain about the monster trucks "how would such puny things work on a farm?" Eddy tried his best chat up lines on Nazz who giggled and played along while Kevin watched on. He didn't mind that not because he didn't think that Eddy had a chance of hooking up but that the chat up lines Eddy was using made sure that wasn't a possibility. Double D sat by and watched all this.
As the day wore on the kids started to get hungry, Kevin noticed this and went to get snacks. Nazz yawned when he did so. While she had fun she was getting bored, she had no interests in Monster Trucks and Eddy's flirting got boring down to how bad he was at it.
As one of the biggest trucks turned over a smaller one much to the pleasure of the other kids who screamed out in delight Kevin came back in the room with a tray of refreshments.
"My parents said I gotta feed ya's so eat up" Kevin told the other kids. All the kids gathered round and took some of the food. There were simple sweets, chocolate bars and cans of soda.
"Kevin can I use your bathroom?" asked Nazz.
"Sure no bother go right ahead" Kevin nodded towards the bathroom. As Nazz moved out of the way to go to the toilet Eddy moved in and got a good look at the food.
"Hi chin head what about some jawbreakers?" asked Eddy running his eyes over the food and drinks.
"Man, dork you're a pain" complained Kevin "Fine if you what some come this way" Kevin walked off with Eddy following behind gleefully.
As Eddy and Kevin walked away talking to each other (Eddy reminding Kevin of all the back catalogue of jawbreakers Kevin owned him) nature called to Double D. Double D was embarrassed by this. He rarely used the toilet at Ed's or Eddy's house never mind anywhere else. Double D snuck away from the rest of the group and when he was sure he was not seen quickly paced to the bathroom. In his rush he bumped into Nazz who was just leaving said room.
"Oh my apology Nazz I didn't mean to run into you" apologised Double D.
"No problem dude" smiled Nazz before looking over her shoulder. "I thought I heard Kevin and Eddy pass by so I stayed in longer than I needed to. Here can you keep a secret? My phone just rang and I gotta go home my mom isn't happy with the colour of her hair. I don't wanna tell Kevin cause I think he'll think I'm just making an excuse to get out early and I don't want to hurt his feelings. Can you cover for me?"
"Oh of course Nazz I'll cover for you" Double D said hoping to get this talk over so he can use the bathroom.
"Thanks dude" Nazz said before hugging him. "Well I gotta go I'm going out the back door so no will see me. Bye Double D" and with a wave Nazz passed Double D to the kitchen and the exit.
Double D rushed into the bathroom to relieve himself. Whilst he did this Kevin and Eddy were walking back up the corridor.
"Thanks Kev it's amazing" slurped Eddy over the jawbreaker.
"Yeah yeah you got your jawbreaker" Kevin looked at the bathroom door to see it was locked believing Nazz was still in there. "Here can you go on I gotta use the bathroom".
"Sure no problem" Eddy managed with the Jawbreaker in his mouth. Kevin waited until he was sure Eddy was back in the main room before turning his attention to the bathroom door. Knocking it softly he said "Nazz can we talk?"
At the sound Of Kevin's voice Double D froze he had just finished drying his hands when Kevin knocked and wasn't sure what to say.
"No Nazz don't say anything just listen" Kevin continued on. "A couple of days ago I tried to ask you a very important question but I chickened out. So now I'll ask it again. Nazz I always liked you more than just a friend for a long time and I kind of know you have been sending me signals for a while and I haven't been really been paying attention until it struck me lately. So what I'm asking is... do you wanna go out with me?"
Double D was speechless as he heard that. Kevin not only finally revealed his love for Nazz but he asked her out not realizing it was Double D in the bathroom. Double D thought frantically about what to do. He couldn't reveal it was him in the bathroom that would be too awkward. His brain went into overtime but he couldn't come up with anything.
"Nazz I know this is sudden but can you give me an answer, you need more time? I have no trouble waiting for a response." Kevin said through the door.
"Kev who are you talking too?" a voice came from up the corridor.
Kevin looked up to see Eddy standing there watching him. "How long you been there?" questioned Kevin his heart starting to panic.
"For a bit I heard everything" answered Eddy truthfully with a slight snicker. "By the way I saw Nazz entering her house when I looked out your window when I got back to your main room, so who are you talking to?"
Kevin's heart dropped at those words, who was he actually talking to. "Hi open this door" thundered Kevin hitting it in the progress.
Double D gulped and slowly opened the door. Kevin's face fell as he saw who it was. In his head he was going crazy. "Wait did I just ask out Double D!? No way I don't even go that way!"
"Well this is awkward" blurted out Double D.
"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I can't believe it awh this is priceless you asked out Double D HAHAHAHAHAHA, yeah Nazz would like you for that! Maybe she is that sort of girl! Likes a bit of man on man" laughed Eddy.
Both Kevin and Double D were embarrassed. It was bad enough both of them were in this situation but to have Eddy there to see it made it worse.
"Don't worry Kev, Double D no one thinks you two make a good couple hahaha I mean you is complete opposites but you know they say opposites attract hahahahahaha!"
"Shut up dork!" Kevin said though he was very quiet. He silently walked past Eddy and sat in the main room watching the rest of the monster truck rally. Double D walked past Eddy who made a kissing sound and commented "maybe you should sit beside him and make him feel better!"
The rest of the day was quite strange. All the other kids wanted to know what Eddy had laughed at but none of the three boys said anything. Kevin was raging inside not just towards Double D but at Nazz as well. He was angry and hurt that she could off just left without saying anything to him. Double D thought about trying to explain Nazz's absence but he couldn't come up with any and it just felt too awkward to talk to Kevin right now.
Eventually the rally ended and all the other kids went home. While making his way home Eddy kept pestering Double D about what happened. "Awh man you should of said yes! Could you imagine the look on his face if you did and you opened the door! Awh it would be gold!" Eddy was holding his side due to a stitch.
"Eddy it was rather an unfortunate circumstance that took place" blushed Double D.
"Eddy could you imagine them going out it would be like when King Kong asked out Godzilla in the movie "Kong's big date" grinned Ed.
"Oh lumpy that would be priceless!" Eddy laughed again.
"Not you too Ed" groaned Double D.
"Sorry Double D but its funny" smiled Ed.
"Yeah come on Double D years from now you'll look back at this and laugh" reassured Eddy.
"Well may that be at the moment I find it very unfunny now excuse me I have to go home. My parents are expecting me". Double walked off towards his voice.
"What got under his skin" grumbled Eddy.
"So long Double D" waved Ed not paying attention to Eddy.
Later that night Double D got thinking about earlier today. While still embarrassed for himself and Kevin it got him thinking about relationships. At first glance both Kevin and Nazz were different to each other. Kevin was a typical jock interested in sports, his bike and at times being a bully while Nazz was an airhead, liked to gossip and did shoulder responsibility (she was a baby sitter after all) but when you looked closer it was clear they had things in common. Not only were they best looking kids in the cul-de-sac both were popular in school Nazz was a cheerleader though Double D was sure this was just a chance to be close to Kevin and deep down both were decent people if in Kevin's case it didn't always show.
Double D wondered if there was a girl out there for him. As he thought about all the girls in his school none really came to mind. Sarah of course had a crush on him but they shared little to no common interest and while she did beat him up she was usually easier on him compared to Ed and Eddy. Then of course there was Marie the bane of his existence. They had nothing in common and in fact were complete opposites, though as Eddy did say earlier even if he was joking "opposites attract". Both were as different as night and day. Marie was the night, her life and personality was much darker to anyone he knew while Double D had a lighter view of life.
Double D couldn't help but think that they were each other's yin to their yang. They would make an interesting couple he would admit. As he thought this over he did realize she had been nice to him. Though she had been evil towards him in the past her saying sorry and that kiss did change things.
Double D shook his head and cleared it of thought. He was being silly and over thinking everything. Kevin and Nazz both did share many common interests while Double D would admit his thinking of Marie in a positive light may off been down to his own wanting of a girlfriend.
Double decided it was best to go to bed before he over thought it anymore. As he slept he didn't realized that a girl in the trailer park had also the same thoughts as he just did. She wondered if two very different people could really make the perfect couple she craved they could be.
