The head of the science Department at Peach Creek High School sat at his desk as he watched the students from his second period class file out of the room. Only a few of the scholars in his second period had even a small amount of wanting to learn in them and the third period class was even worse. It was mostly filled with the jocks of the school. He had a few nerds in the class, but it was mostly filled with the football and baseball teams and the cheerleaders. What had he done to deserve this?

He watched as the next class started to enter the room. Glancing up to see if all the students had arrived he got up to close the door when in swaggered a young man wearing a green hoodie, black jeans and a red baseball cap on his head backwards. But the most remarkable thing about this boy was his emerald green eyes and red hair. Involuntarily the teacher called out "Kevin" just loud enough for the boy to hear him. The boy looked at the teacher and smiled. Eddward Vincent looked at the young man incredulously, if he didn't know better he would swear that this was the same Kevin he went to school with.

"Hi, is the Mr Vincent's Chemistry Class? I'm your new student, Kevin Barr." The young man saw the look on the teacher's face and laughed. He had been looking at the highlight photos while in the office and saw his father's picture prominently among them. "Excuse me sir, I'm not that Kevin Barr, I'm his son. We just moved here and my twin and I will be attending school here, until dad decides just what our next move is."

"Welcome Kevin, Please take a seat and we will begin." Dee looked around at the class, he needed to start today's lecture, but he also needed to think. He decided to start the class on a study project. He quickly passed around the study sheets and then sat down at his desk. Pretending to grade papers he watched the red head sitting in the back of the class. He had the same mannerisms as his father, was he going to be a problem in class. I see he has already joined the jocks in the back of the class. Just as the red head sat down, one of the baddest of the bullies threw a wad of paper at him. He turned around and caught the wad of paper and then flung it right back into the face of the thrower. He then wagged his finger in a no, no fashion, glared at the jock and sat down facing the front of the room again.

Dee thought to himself, 'Well, this aught to get interesting, he seems to be able to give back as good as he gets, Kevin has trained this one well. I don't think it will be long before he is filling Kevin's shoes in this school.

At that moment came a tap at the door, Dee called out "Enter" and in walked another boy with the same facial features of the red head. He was built like the other boy, but had cyan eyes and black hair.

"May I help you?" Dee inquired of the new arrival.

"Mr. Brown said his class is full and asked if I could come in over here." He handed Dee and note and watched the teacher closely.

Dee looked up at his class room, there were two seats left, one in the back near his brother and one down front. He figured he would take the seat near his brother, but he saw an exchange of looks between the brothers and then the black haired boy chose the desk in front of the class. Dee looked down at the paper the boy had handed him. There he saw the name Eddward Barr. So Kevin had named one of his sons after him. What did it mean, if anything. In all these years Kevin had only contacted him once, and that was to let him know that he had gotten married. Why are they back in Peach Creek after so long.

Dee kept his head down but he was slyly watching both boys. He glanced up to see Kevin looking at Roger in the back of the class. The green eyes were flashing a don't mess with me warning. Double Dee knew that look, back in high school he had seen that look in the senior Kevin's eyes several times, and usually the person that had been flashed that warning didn't like the resulting action, of not heeding the warning.

The bell rang signaling the end of the period, Dee sighed and thought to himself that it was a good thing that his next period was a study hall and that would give him time to grasp his thoughts and file them away. As Double Dee watched the students file out of the class, he saw young Kevin pass his desk. "May I have a word with you Mr. Barr?"

Kevin looked around at him and answered "Yes Sir?"

"I noticed that you and Mr. Gaskill may have gotten off on the wrong foot. I do hope there won't be any trouble in my class room."

No sir, I won't cause any trouble in your class, but if he starts something I will have to finish it. My father..."

At that moment a shout was heard from the hallway and a loud thud followed "Don't touch me again."

Hearing this the redhead shot from the room, with Dee following close behind. When the raven haired teacher reached the hallway he saw the twins standing back to back glaring at all in the passage. Roger Gaskill was laying against the far wall. The students in the hall had a surprised look on their faces.

"What is going on out here?" He walked over to the twins. The red head looked up at the teacher and said "We didn't start it sir, but we will finish it."

The principle and head football coach came scurrying down the hall, they came up to the other teacher.

"What is going here Mr. Vincent."

"I think Roger was just thought a valuable lesson, never judge a book by it's cover, and know your surroundings. Coach, I think you may be going to meet the next additions to your team. Since it is their first day and Rodger does have a penchant for teasing others, I think we should over look this minor mishap." Dee said smiling and letting the gap in his teeth show. Young Edd gasped, he knew that smile. Kevin turned and looked at his twin, who whispered "I'll tell you when we get home."

The coach walked over and looked down at his football player, "Did you start this Rodger?"

"N, No sir, the little faggot did."

"Then why is my quarterback lying on the floor, and I don't appreciate that language Mr. Gaskill."

"If I may Coach, I didn't see what happened but I did hear someone say 'don't touch me again.'" Double Dee said. Looking down at the jock and smiling. "Mr Gaskill, I am sure Coach has taught you that you should know your opponent, are you hurt?"

The coach reached down and pulled the boy up and looked him in the eye. "I'm sure Rodger has been reminded of that fact, now don't you think you need to head to your next class?"

"Yes sir." Rodger took off down the hall to his next class.

The coach walked over and looked down at the boys. Something in the back of his mind seemed familiar about the boys. "Which one of you knocked down my quarterback?"

The dark haired teenager looked the coach in his eyes and answered. "I did sir, I may be gay but I am not squishy, and will stand up for myself."

"Are you planning on trying out for any of my teams?"

"I'm more of a band geek and maybe I'll try out for the swim team, but other than that I'm not much of a sports fan. Kevie will probably try out for everything you have sports wise." laughed the cyan eyed boy.

The young red head turned to face the coach and said "Kevin Barr, sir, and I am planning on trying out for football, wrestling and baseball for a start and don't let Edd fool you, he is good at baseball, just a bit lazy, but once in the game he goes all out. Our dad trained us, he said he was a pretty good player in high school."

The coach looked at the boy as his memory refreshed itself bringing his former all star jock into his mind. "Not that Kevin, I'm sure, or am I wrong Mr. Vincent?"

Before Dee could answer the red head smirked and said, "Yes sir, That Kevin Barr is our father, and I plan to follow in his athletic shoes."

The bell for the next period started to ring and the coach said, "Boys, go ahead to your next class, if you need a note for the teacher just let me know." The boys looked down at their schedules and both smiled. "Don't think that will be a problem, our next class is P.E., see you there coach." The coach walked off after the boys. Dee walked back into his room and sat at his desk. It was now confirmed Kevin was back in town, just how did that pertain to him. It had been so long since they had been close. Did he even think of Double Dee and if he did was it good or bad. Dee shook his head and thought to himself that there was no use going over all of that it had happened long ago and the door was closed..

Dee opened his desk drawer and took out a small picture frame and looked at it. There was the red head in full football gear, grinning like he was the happiest person in the world. It was the night that he had won the state championship. The bottom of the picture was signed 'to my bestest dork'. Dee remembered the day that he had signed the picture. Dee was in the library looking over pictures to add to the yearbook and Kevin had glanced over his shoulder and saw the picture and signed it. He then glanced around and saw that they were alone in the library and had placed a kiss on Dee's cheek.

He smiled at the memory, and put the picture away. That was a long time ago, he should put it all behind him and get over it all, obviously Kevin had. He had two handsome sons. Dee's heart did feel a tug when he looked down at the dark headed Barr boy's name Eddward Vincent Barr. He had named one of his sons after him.

"Excuse me Mr. Vincent, I need so help with question 7 on today's chemistry lesson." said a blonde haired girl standing next to his desk. "I hate to bother you, you seem a bit zoned out today."

Dee hurriedly placed the picture back in his desk, glanced at his lesson planner to see what question 7 was about then preceded to explain the concept to the girl. Meanwhile in the back of his mind he was trying to process just what it meant to him to learn that Kevin was back in Peach Creek.

At the end of the day, Dee was feeling a bit tired he brain had been in overload for the past couple of hours and he needed to get home and try to get the lid back on Pandora's box again. To distract himself from his thoughts he started to work on the next day's lesson plan. He heard a tap on the door and looked up.

"Excuse me, Mr. Vincent, may I trouble you for tonight's homework, I seemed to have missed copying if off the board this morning" stated the red headed Barr twin.

Double Dee reached over to a pile of papers on his desk and handed him a sheet of paper. "I forgot to give you this in class earlier."

"Thanks, may I ask you something? It's not about class work, I just want to ask you something about my father when he was in high-school and you seemed to have be acquainted with him.

Dee looked at the boy, he seemed to have a question in his eyes. "yes, you may, I knew Kevin quite well back then."

"I was looking at all the pictures of him in the office and he seemed to confident and sure of himself. Something seems to have happened to him since that."

"Kevin was a cocky jock, a great friend that would go out of his way to help his friends, but could be a formidable foe if provoked. He was self assured and the most popular boy in school in those days. All the girls wanted to date him and the boys all wanted to be his friend or be like him."

"He seems to have lost all of his confidence in himself. He is a great dad, and takes really good care of us. He seems to have confidence in taking care of us, but in most other things he seems lost and so sad."

Dee thought for a moment, he couldn't tell the boy about what happened the last time Kevin was in Peach Creek. "Well maybe it was from his injury and having to give up his football career."

Dee frowned he really didn't want to think about Kevin anymore today. Or at least not when he was around others. He needed to get to his apartment and sit down with himself and go over all his thoughts. "Well if you will excuse me Kevin, I have something important to tend to. See you tomorrow in class. Double Dee stood up and picked up his messenger bag and left the class room.
