Chapter 3.
"Wait!"Ed said, stopping Eddy in mid-sentence,"Do we go in on three, or do you say three, and then we go in?"
"We go in on, uh," Eddy replied,"Um, uh, Oh man! You made me forget! Thanks a lot Ed."
"You're welcome Eddy." Ed said as he walked through the closed door, into Double-D's room.
"Eh well," Eddy said as he walked through the busted door,"At least we're in. Hey Double-D!"
Eddy turned his head to face Double-D, and saw that his eyes were red.
"Oh, Ed, Eddy!"Double-D said, surprised to see them back so soon."I-I wasn't expecting you back for a while." He ended this sentence with a quick sniffle, and then rubbed his eyes.
"What the heck's wrong with you?" Eddy asked as he sat on the chair , and leaned back so it touched the desk.
" Whasamatter Double-D?"Ed said, slurring four words into one, like a child. He sat down on the end of the bed, beside Double-D. He looked down into Double-D's hands, and saw "BANKY!"Ed screamed, as he tore the small blue cloth out of Double-D's hands."I missed you Banky!"
"Banky?" Eddy said, confused as to why Double-D would still have that old thing. " Lemme see it Ed." Ed tossed the blue ratty looking blanket over to Eddy.
"Eddy!" Double-D shouted, sitting up straighter,"Give it back!"
"It's Banky alright." Eddy said, inspecting it,"So what's wrong this time?" Eddy tossed the blanket back over to Double-D.
"Wh-what makes you think anything's w-wrong?" Double-D asked, stammering as he held the blanket to his chest.
"One: you're stammering, and that's definitely not a good sign for anyone." Eddy replied," And two: The last time you brought Banky out of the closet was in fourth grade, after you got a 'B' in gym." Ed stood up.
"Oh!Oh!" Ed raised his hand, like he had something to add," And after he thought he lost his hat in grade two."
Eddy continued " Oh yea, and in grade six, when he got his I.Q. test mixed up with yours, Ed, and thought he was an idiot."
" I remember that." Ed said smiling, " Oh, and don't forget the time he..."
"Alright! Alright! I get the point!" Double-D shouted, annoyed," So just what is your point?"
" My point is,"Eddy continued, " That you only bring out that hunk-a-junk when you're totally upset about something.Like the time Kevin stole your Ant Farm and wouldn't give it back."
"Or when your parent's thought of moving away." Ed said,chuckling.
Double-D gasped and closed his eyes, trying to hold back the tears.
"Hey, what's wrong Double-D?" Ed said as he sat back down on the bed and put his arm on Double-D's shoulder.
"It-it's nothing, really." Double-D choked out between sobs.
"C'mon sockhead," Eddy said meanly, "Spit it out."
"W-well you know that last thing that Ed said ?" Double-D said, hoarsely.
" You mean when I said that thing about your family moving away?" Ed asked .
"Well what about it.......... WHAT?!" Eddy suddenly realized what was wrong."Please tell me that I'm wrong that you're moving away!"
Double-D threw himself against Ed's chest and sobbed uncontrollably." Eddy, what's going on?" Ed said stupidly.
"Ed, you idiot!" Eddy stood up, tipping the chair over, "Can't you see that Double-D's moving?!"
"Double-D? Moving?" Ed hugged Double-D and began to sob along with him. If you look closely at Eddy, you can tell that he's on the verge of tears, but trying to hide it.
"Why? Where?When?"Eddy asked quickly.
Double-D lifted his head up and sniffled." Job transfer, Pear Brook, next week." He spit out simply.
"Say what?" Eddy asked, confused.
"My parent's got tranferred to Pear Brook city,"Double-D explained,"And we're moving next week!" He sobbed into Banky, the worn down old blanket, which, if you look closely, is completely soaked by now.
"Pear Brook?" Eddy wondered," Isn't that place like completely urban?"
" That's the worst part about it." Double-D replied," I hate the city! Sure they have all of thos libraries and stuff, but I hate all of the noise, the crowds, the pigeons.."He shuddered. "So-many-pigeons..."
"What?" Eddy said, as he cocked his head to the left, looking at Double-D like he thought he was nuts.
"Long story. " Double-D explained," Basically it ends with me being plastered to the sidewalk with pigeon excrement."
"What the heck is ex-cree-mint?" Eddy asked, confused.
Double-D explained by shuddering and sticking out his tongue in disgust.
"Huh?" Eddy thought out loud." Ohhhhh.....You mean, EW!Ew!EW!That is so gross! How did you, Mr. Clean-everything-in-sight, survive that?"
"With thirty-eight consecutive baths, that's how."Double-D said.
"Ewwwww!" Ed finally said.
"What?" Eddy asked," You finally figured out what Double-D meant?"
"No! Baths!EW!"Ed said, disgusted.
"That explains so much."Double-D said, finally realizing why Ed always stunk.
"So you've only got one week left here?"Eddy asked.
"That's right,"Double-D said sadly."I'll be leaving Peach Creek in exactly six days, nineteen hours, twenty-six minutes, and eleven seconds."
"Oh that's plently of time then." Ed said happily, as he stood up,"I thought you said you were leavin' in a week.Well See-Ya' Double-D."
" Yeah, we'd better split, and let ya' pack."Eddy said as he and Ed stepped through the hole in the door." Talk to ya' later Sockhead."
"Bye." Double-D said sadly as he leaned back on his bed, then stood up and walked over to the window."I'm really gonna' miss this place. I mean, I grew up here, I don't wanna' leave all these memories behind." He saw Ed and Eddy running over to Ed's house, while being chased by Kevin and Rolf.
"But most of all," He sniffed," I don't wanna' leave my best friends behind." He turned away from the window, and looked at ..
"GOOD LORD! MY DOOR! WHAT DID THEY DO TO...?!" He screamed, but then stopped and sighed. He walked back over to his bed, and laid down," Eh well." He said, uncharacteristically,"It's not like I'm gonna' be here that much longer anyway."
