Chapter 2

Disclaimer: ...I don't own them. Are you happy now!

Note: A bit of strong language on this chapter. Just a warning.

After that day, my mom told me via sticky note to pack my bags. The day after, we were gone. Finally, after 6 long years, I'm back. I'm finally-

"MOVE YOUR ASS!" yelled some old hag at a young man at 18 who was daydreaming. The man had a green button down shirt, and black slacks. His shoes were very shiny. Only one thing gave him away: His black beanie, which looked like a giant sock. Oh, and that on his shirt says EDD.

"Are you retarded, or have you been slipping some acid?" asked the lady, who was still in a bad mood.

"Oh, sorry."

"What's with the hat? It doesn't fit your clothes.

"Well, when I was a kid, I wore this hat everywhere. If I go back to Peach Creek with it on, people will remember me."

"Oh...so, are you high?"

"...!"

"You know, just a little? You know I am! How 'bout later, after I take my meds, we can spend quality time?"

"...There's my stop, goodbye!" Edd tripped over a couple as he jumped out of the bus. He then got his hat caught in the door, and refusing to let go, was dragged all the way (conveniently) to the Cu-de-Sac. The bus opened its doors, and Edd got his hat back. He started to mutter, but saw the Cul-de-sac. He walked forward.

"It looks just about the same!" He gasped as he walked through the Cul-de-sac in awe. It looked the same, and decided to take a tour before it got dark.

As he walked down the lane, whistling, he had a feeling he was being watched, but ignored it. Today was a great day, there is no way to ruin it. Edd then heared a cluck.

It was a chicken. Edd petted the chicken as he picked it up. "Hmm. He must be-"

Suddenly Edd sidestepped to the left and stuck his foot out. Though the scruffy brown man caught his balance, he fell on his ass.

"Rolf?"

"Wer sind Sie und warum Sie berühren mein Geflügel?"{Who are you, and why are you touching my fowl?} asked Rolf in German.

"Uhh...Ihr Huhn war aus den Grund, also leckte ich es oben." {Your chicken was on the ground, so I licked it up.}

"Wie trauen Sie mein Gluckern lecken! Ich begrabe Sie mit meinen Zwiebeln!"{How dare you lick my cluck! I will bury you with my onions!} Rolf moved toward Edd menacingly, his muscles bulging out.

"Oh dear." said Edd. German wasn't his best subject. He then had an idea.

"Ich bin ein Geleekrapfen"{I am a jelly doughnut} Rolf them started to laugh.

"Ha hahahahaha! You remind me of...Edd boy?" Suddenly Rolf becoming serious got close to Edd's face. "Nein..."{No.}

Edd grabbed his sock hat, and put it on his head. "Rolf, it's me."

Rolf picked up Edd happily, and started to speak English. "Double D Ed boy! I have not seen you since Rolf's youth!"

"How old are you, Rolf?" asked Edd as Rolf grabbed Ed and dragged him toward Kevin's house.

"Zwanzig ein"

"...What?"

"How do you say, twenty one? Now come,The tour begins!

As Rolf dragged Edd through the ground, Edd wondered what life will be like here on in. His thought was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Kevin, Hello!" Greeted Rolf through the door. "I got a surprise for you!"

"Alright, Alright." Kevin said in the house. Finally he opened the door. "What?"

Rolf grabbed up Edd by his hat so Edd can stand. "Hey Kevin!" greeted Edd.

"...That it?" asked Kevin. He was grungy, and dirty. His hair grown out completely, and his eyes were blood shot. He obviously let himself go in the years.

"Kevin boy, don't you reconise-

"I reconize him, and so what?" He walks up to Edd. "So we now have 3 dorks once again." He tried to push Edd to the ground, but Edd didn't budge. He got real close to Kevin's face.

"Good seeing you." Rolf then grabbed Edd, and in an attempt to save him from Kevin, threw him 12 feet into the air.

"No worries. Say, what are you doing?"

Kevin pulls out a cigarette. "Fucking Kankers." He closes the door, and goes back inside. Rolf walks up to Edd, who is stuck to the cement.

"Come Ed boy, the tour is not yet over!"

"How 'bout this?" said Edd as Rolf tore him off the cement. "I'll take the rest of the tour myself, and I'll meet you at your house for lunch.

"Okay, see you!" said Rolf as he headed home singing.

Edd got up, and found that 3 of his ribs were broken, but what else is new? He headed toward Sarah's.

"Yes, Hello?" said a girl of 16 opening the door. Her hair was a red orange look, she wore a white tank with pink short shorts. "Can I help you?" Edd decided to guess.

"Sarah?"

"Yes?"

"It's me, Double D."

"..." Sarah looked up at Edd. "You're bald?" Edd looked up, and saw his hat was gone.

'Must have fell off while I was in the air.' "Yeah, that's why I alway's wore my hat."

Sarah started to laugh. "Watch out Cue ball, someone will mistake you for a bowling ball!" she laughed.

"Can I come in?" asked Edd.

"Fine, but you better not try anything, you didn't even take me out to dinner."

Edd laughed heartily, not knowing that was a come one.

....................................................................................................................................

"So, what happened while I was gone?" asked Edd. The two were in the kitchen, eating. Edd, remembering that he was to eat with Rolf, ate light.

"Well Eddy-"

"I rather not talk about Eddy." Sarah looked angry, but cooled down.

"Things started to change." said Sarah chomping down her burger. " After a year Rolf started to speak hybrid German-English and 2 years after, nothing but German. Other than Kevin, he spoke to no one else in English.

"He spoke to me in English."

"Good for you." Said Sarah sarcastically. "Sorry."

"It's all right. Anything else?"

"Kevin told Nazz what he felt about her, how he loved her. She turned him down."

"Why? They seemed like a perfect match?"

"She was in love with someone else...you."

Edd thought about what Sarah said. "Really? I had no idea."

'You had no ideas about a lot of things' thought Sarah. "After that, Kevin took a complete 180. He's a real bastard."

Edd sipped some beer from his straw.(Don't ask!) "What about Jimmy?"

Sarah's eyes seemed to go glossy. "We dated for 3 years, but before it got serious, he broke it off. He's now in Miami, trying to be a model.

"..." Edd looked at Sarah as he bit down on his burger. "What of Ed?"

"3 years back, Johnny was heading to the rainforest, to save them or whatever. Ed, thinking Johnny was going to a Candy land hid in a trunk."Sarah's voice started to break. "I haven't heard from him since." Sarah started to cry.

Edd went to her, and wrapped his arms around her, for comforting. Sarah looked up at Edd, and the 2 locked eyes. Their faces came closer, and closer. Until...

"Hey Red, I'm going to need some pliers" A familliar face came into the house. He stopped when he saw Edd.

"Eddy?" whispered Edd as he stood up. "Hey, long time no see."

"Good to see you buddy. "Said Eddy, smiling. He frowned soon after, and for the longest time, no one spoke.
