November 10
Dear Double D,
I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry in writing.
Maybe now you'll believe me.
I should never have let it get out of hand.
It was wrong for me to hurt you like that.
So here is the apology you deserve.
I am sorry I nearly made your room explode, (as you said a million and one times, don't touch things if I don't know how to use it, or what it does)
I'm sorry about the hat. (at least you had more right?)
I'm sorry I embarrassed you so much in such a small time.
I know I was wrong. I'm sorry for the countless other things that will not fit on this paper that I did on that day and made you feel so terrible about yourself and feel like you no long belong here.
I'm sorry ,
I'm sorry
a million and one times I AM SORRY!
Come home Double D, Come back to your brothers. We need you.
The Eds don't exist without you.
I hate everything I did to you and you'd think I'd have learned my lesson before all this, But I swear I have now.
Please, forgive me. I'll make it up to you some how, if it takes the rest of my life Sockhead I will find away.
Everyone wants you back. Ed and I want you back. I can't say it enough.
I AM SORRY!
Eddy
PS Ed says hi
(Don't get mad, I asked your mom to send it.)
The letter above made me rethink my current situation. Eddy couldn't write something like this unless he means it. His words touched me. He must really miss me. I've got a lot to think about now. Perhaps I should forgive Eddy. It's been a while, maybe he has learned. But how can I face him after walking out like that? Yes I know those things were done to me but after everything Eddy and Ed have been through with me, I just don't know. Can I really allow this friendship to die?
November 12
I can't believe what happened today. It was so irresponsible and dangerous and I can't believe the lengths that were gone to. Anything could have happened! I- I'm ahead of myself. I was on my way to my classes at the theater when I had this feeling that I should turn back and go through the park. Sort of a nagging feeling. Normally that doesn't happen to me, so I did. Everything seemed normal, people strolling through the park as they carried on with their business. I was about to dismiss the thought all together and continue on my way back to class. When I thought I heard familiar voices from behind.
One shouting at the birds to "Move it or lose it" the other one asking when they would find "him"
I thought for a moment and took a seat on a bench the voices were coming towards me. It couldn't possibly be who I thought it was. I mean perhaps it was my homesickness, my mind playing tricks on me. I was being absurd. I stood up and was about to leave. I could get there just as the activity began if I hurried.
I took a step forward.
"Quit it Lumpy geez, Would ya just help me look around?"
"I'm lookin' Eddy, No sign of him anywhere." this time it was very close instinctively I turned and was shocked by what I saw.
"Eddy, Ed!" I said and dropped my script the two stopped and looked.
"D-Double D, is that you?" his eyes filled with tears and Ed stared blankly
"He looks familiar Eddy!' He said finally.
"It's Sockhead, Stupid." He had started to cry. We walked toward each other slowly.
"E-Eddy, Ed what on Earth-"
"We had to see ya Double D, I just had to know-"
I snapped out of my daze. I was now standing arms length away from my friends. No one moved.
"Oh all the irresponsible, dangerous, absurd things to do. Eddy this takes the cake, I assume your parents didn't bring you. How did you get here and what do you think you're doing?" I don't know why I was so angry at first. Eddy and Ed looked down at their feet.
"You're right as always Double D, Mom doesn't know I'm here. Ed found out I was comin' and here he is. I had to see if you got it, the letter I mean cause it's real important to me that-" I wrapped my arms around Eddy and felt Ed join in.
"Oh Eddy, Ed, I've missed you so much!" I sobbed.
"We missed you too. I'm so sorry please tell me you forgive me and that we can go back to bein' the Eds, the way we were. Please Double D" Eddy sniffled. I could hear Ed whimpering softly as he hugged us a little tighter.
"Of course I forgive you Eddy, how could I not after all this?"
"We are three once more for we are the Eds and nothing can keep us apart!" Ed yelled happily.
"Well, we'd better get back to Nana Sophia's house and call your families to let them know. You'll both be in a lot of trouble you know." I said wiping a tear from my eyes.
"It's worth it Double D, I'd take any trouble in the world for you. You and Ed are my family and I promise to never ever mess up like that again."
I smiled and hugged him again.
"I think you've finally learned Eddy." Eddy nodded.
"probably the hardest lesson of all." Ed picked up the script for me and we went back to the house where both Ed and Eddy were stunned at the sight.
"Nana, I'm back" I called.
"Oh Eddward, you just missed a call from your- Hello there you must be Ed and Eddy. I'm Eddward's grandmother, you can call me Nana or Sophia, can I offer you a glass of lemonade or water, maybe some cookies?" Eddy and Ed thanked her and sat down and were soon forced to say hello to Neo.
"How did you know who we are Ma'am?" Eddy asked.
"Eddward's mother called, she had just gotten off the phone with Eddy's mother and wanted to tell me they were on their way. Eddy, you and Ed are supposed to call your houses as soon as possible. Eddward, will you please show them the phone?" I got up and showed them where to make the calls. I then returned to Nana.
"Eddward you wouldn't mind sharing your room with them for a while would you?" Nana asked
"Of course not. But won't their parents want them to go home, They did come here without permission."
"Yes, but you see, I also spoke to their mothers and neither one is angry, concerned yes. I told them I had plenty of room and that it was important for the three of you to be together for a while. They agreed." It's amazing what Nana can do.
Ed and Eddy entered the room and sat down. "Wow, mom wasn't even mad, she said to have fun and to behave myself." Eddy said astonished.
"My mom is glad I'm here Eddy, she says I need you and Double D. She can't wait to see me again and Sarah says hello." Ed said biting into a cookie.
Nana took us out and bought us dinner and we took Ed and Eddy to see the theater. Nana invited them to see the production and said she will talk to Mother about bringing them with her.
What a day it's been.
