A group of teens were running around the park. It was getting dark out but it would be a warm summer night. Two boys were sitting off to the side watching their friends run around and have fun.
"Tucker?" The short boy with slicked back hair asked.
"Yeah, Eddy?"
Eddy fiddled with his hands nervously before asking a question.
"How'd you get the courage to tell Danny about your feelings?"
Tucker looked down at Danny running around with Sam and the other Eds. Danny was discreetly using his ghost powers to appear in different places, thoroughly confusing both Double D and Ed. He shrugged.
"I mean, we're best friends. We've known each other for so long. We share everything and trust each other so much. It was mostly just a matter of figuring out if Danny felt the same way because that boy is so oblivious."
Eddy chuckled and then frowned again. "Do you have any suggestions at least? I wanna tell Double D how I feel but I'm so terrified. I don't know how he'll react, what his opinions on this are. I don't even wanna think about our parents. His parents don't really like me-"
Tucker waved away Eddy's words. "Eddy, how long have you known Double D?"
"I don't know.. Probably close to ten years?"
"Has he ever left your side in those ten years?"
"He almost did once⦠But other than that no." Eddy whispered.
"Okay so." Tucker started. "We have this boy, who is your polar opposite, who's stayed by your side for years even though you're one of the most unbearable people in your neighborhood?"
"Hey! I am not the most unbearable!"
"My point still stands. Nothing has swayed him to make the decision to leave you behind. Even when he almost did, something changed his mind. I don't think something like this is gonna push him away."
Eddy looked over at the other kids on the playground. Sam and Ed were fighting over which direction the mary go round was going in while Danny and Double D were discussing something quietly.
"How do you know?" Eddy whispered.
Double D looked up at where Tucker and Eddy sat, waving happily.
"I just have a good feeling about it."
