October 22nd

"Eddward wake up." A female called to him, Double D slowly opened his eyes to find his mother, and she had green eyes and orange hair.

"What is it Mother?" Double D said and sat up, he looked over to his clock 5:29, he was surprised his mother wasn't at work yet.

"Come down stairs, your father and I want to talk to you." She said and walked out of his room. Double D followed her, yet it seemed as if the hallway went on forever, Double D started to walk faster and then started to run as his mother went farther and farther ahead.

"Mother! Mother please wait for me!" Double D called out and then his mother was gone and he was in his living room where his father and mother stood, His father turned around. He had dark brown eyes and hair.

"Eddward...Your mother and I are very disappointed in you." He said, Double D was confused.

"What did I do Father?" Double D asked.

"You failed Art class...and now no collage wants to accept you." He said.

"Nonsense Father...My grades are high, and my absentees are none." Double D said and tried to walk to his father but he and Double D's mother disappeared.

Double D stood in darkness, He looked around but could not see anything. All of a sudden Double D found himself on a platform suspended in the air with a dark abyss bellow. Double D felt breathing at his ear, He quickly turned around to find Marie standing behind him.

"Marie?" He asked, Marie smiled and started to kiss him, Double D pulled away. "Marie what's going on?" He asked.

"You don't like me do you?" She said and turned away to not face him.

"Of course I like you." He said and touched her shoulder, Marie walked away and disappeared.

"Marie? Marie where are you?" He called out. Double D looked around and found a mirror that was taller than him by five ft. standing in the middle of the platform.

Double D made his way to the platform and saw his reflection, but it was different. Double D looked at himself to see he was wearing all white, however in the mirror he was wearing all black. Double D raised his finger and touched the mirror, his reflection did the same. Suddenly the reflection shoved his hand through the mirror and grabed Double D by the throat.

Double D started to choke, the reflection stepped out of the mirror and walked to the edge of the platform still holding Double D by the neck.

"Let go!" Double D choked.

"You will fail! All you have worked for will forever be gone." It said, Double D then saw people behind the reflection, Eddy, Ed ,Marie, his Mother and Father. One by one they turn and walk away disappearing.

"They all have abandoned you." The reflection said and then threw Double D off the platform into the dark abyss. Double D shouted as he fell.

Double D landed on his back hard, he opened his eyes to find himself in Marie's room, Double D sat up to find Marie watching him.

"Marie?" He asked, Marie then sat on top of him striding him, she pushed her lips to his. Double D didn't pull away, He started to wrap his arms around her kissing her long and hard. He pulled away and opened his eyes to find her taking her shirt off and then her bra.

Double D awoke in his room with his cheek burning, He looked over to find Eddy with a raised hand and a disterbed look on his face.

"Snap out of it sock head, you were dreaming." Eddy said. Double D sat up and looked around.

"Ah good heavens that was not a good dream." Double D said.

"Oh really?" Eddy asked with a raised eyebrow. Double D noticed the looks.

"What?" Double D asked.

"Well, when I came in hear you were moaning and calling out for Marie." Eddy said.

"I was?" Double D asked.

"Oh yeah...It was funny too...Until you tried to jerk it in your sleep so I slapped you to wake you up." Eddy said. Double D then turned red. Eddy laughed. "Come on its okay...It just means your becoming a man." Eddy said laughing. Double D got up and walked to the bathroom.

"Okay you go ahead and finish up that dream, me and Ed are downstairs waiting for ya." Eddy said and walked out.

Double D ignored Eddy, and walked to the sink and turned it on. He got a handful of water and started to splash his face. After he was done a grabed a towel and started to dry his face off. He looked at himself in the mirror.

"I guess the dream wasn't all that bad." He said to himself thinking about the part with Marie.

Double D made his way down stairs and found his friends by the front door. Double D was glad that Ed's parents came back a few weeks ago, although he did miss having his friends spending the night all the time.

"Hiya Double D...look at my Halloween mask." Ed said and reached into his backpack and pulled out a bloodied mask that looked like some kind of monster.

"Cool Ed...What is it?" Double D asked.

"It's a mix between a Mutant, Zombie, and Vampire." Ed said with a smile.

"Well it's certainly scary Ed." Double D said as he put his backpack on.

"Are we ready gentlemen?" Double D asked and walked out of the house with Ed and Eddy behind him.

The Ed's made their way to the gas station and got out of their car, and made their way to the school. Once inside they noticed that Halloween decorations had been but up.

"Well I say, they certainly did an outstanding job this year with decorations." Double D said as they made their way to first period.

Double D sat down at his desk and waited for the teacher to come in, after a few minutes a sub came in. telling them that their teacher left no work for them that day. The students cheered and shouted.

Double D opened his backpack and pulled out the sketchbook Marie lent him. Double D opened the book and noticed the first few pages had been torn out. Double D then started to flip through page after page of drawings that Marie did, each one better than the last. As he flipped to one page he noticed a drawing that had a heart and "DD" inside the heart with vines wrapped around it.

Double D guessed it was supposed to be his name and it made him blush a little bit. Double D then flipped to the next page and there was a drawing of a detailed tree and swing set next to a pond.

My lord she is amazing, if I had even a pinch of her artistic skills I would be alright in art class. He thought and turned to another page that looked like a drawing of her siting down on a brick wall. Double D then decided that that one was his favorite.

In art class Double D sat down at his desk and Marie later came in and sat down next to him. They didn't talk much during the class until they finished their assignments, when they were done Marie turned to Double D.

"So did you look through the sketchbook?" Marie asked.

"Yes I did, and I have to say Marie Kanker, you are a great artist." He said which caused Marie to blush. "I even have a favorite." He said.

"Really, which one?" She asked. Double D pulled out the sketchbook and flipped to the one of Marie siting. "Oh this one." She said with embarrassment in her tone.

"I really like this one." He said.

"Why this one?" She asked.

"I'm not sure...I just do." Double D said and watched as Marie brushed some of her hair out of her face, he could see her cheeks turning red.

"So have you drawn anything yet?" Marie asked. Double D pulled out one of his notebooks and flipped to a page that he started to doddle on, trees, flowers , and a mountain. He handed the notebook to Marie and she took a look at it.

"Wow this is actually pretty good Double D, I'm impressed." She said.

"Well." He said as she handed him the notebook back, "I have a good teacher." He said, Marie smiled.

"Damn right you do." She said as she smacked him in the back, although she didn't use anywhere near full force, Double D knew he was going to bruise.
