Eddy searched the cabinets whilst Ed looked in the fridge.

"C'mon," Eddy said clearly annoyed," the candy has to be here somewhere. Ed, where the hec did you put it?"

"I don't know. Oh here it is Eddy!" Ed shouted pulling a huge back of candy, the bag covered in ice.

"Oh great!" Eddy said snatching the back from Ed's grasp. The candy was cold as ice, frozen solid. "Good going Ed. C'mon let's put this in the microwave."

Ed and Eddy placed the candy in the microwave (what idiots) for about two minutes. They sat and waited for it to finish, when Eddy realized something was wrong. Everything had suddenly gotten very quiet. He was about to point this out when another sound broke the silence. It sounded as if someone was yelling and they sure sounded mad, but he couldn't figure out what they were saying. Eddy strained to hear, beginning to slowly walk towards the door when he heard a small sound like a slap. Than chaos rearose.

"What the…" Eddy whispered.

He and Ed rushed out the door to a confusing scene. Edd was laying on the floor using one arm to support himself and the other to rub his right cheek. Edd's cousin Tony, was crying and being escorted out by his parents, them telling him reassuring things. Edd's other cousins were also being escorted out walking either or rather disturbed. His Tias and Tios were also rather angry and disappointed as they walked out with their children, and Edd's mom, Lyra had the most shocked face, as she carried out all the presents to the garage. And Edd's father was standing back to Edd cussing in almost a whisper.

"Damn kid." He said and that's when Eddy realized he was talking about Edd.

Suddenly Edd was up, walking towards Ed and Eddy slowly, his dad yelling from behind.

"I can't believe you. Why did you do that? Eddward are you listening to me? Eddward!"

His dad continued to shout but Edd walked along as if he weren't. He walked over to his confused friends, than he stopped. Edd looked down.

"I'm sorry." He semi-whispered.

"What?" His dad asked.

"I said I'm sorry!" He shouted, turning around.

"Well sorry isn't good enough," He said, adding, "Damned Child."

Edd gasped, "W-what did you say?" He chocked out.

"Eddward look I-"

But Edd didn't wait for him to finish. He ran past Ed and Eddy, right out he front door. He ran so fast, across the Cul-de-Sack in till he could no longer be seen.

Chapter 2: The Dream

Edd mumbled in his sleep, he was dreaming. Dreaming of his friends, Ed and Eddy.

"Ed, you can't go to moon unless you take a shower." Eddy was explaining to Ed.

"But why Eddy?" Ed asked.

"Because, all the stupid aliens will die and moon will blow up." Eddy said matter-of-factly.

"Oh." Ed said disappointed,

"Eddy that's not true." Edd said, coming out of nowhere.

"Oh yeah than what's gonna happen, huh Mr. Smarty pants?"

"Well," Edd started, "the moon won't simply explode just because all the aliens die, you have to kill it first."

"But all the aliens will still die won't they?" Eddy asked.

"Yes they probably will, so I do advise you shower Ed." Edd agreed.

"Aww." Ed said, looking at the ground.

The three boys sat in the middle the street, planning for their trip to the moon when...

But than something happened. Edd felt himself being lifted and he saw his father.

His dream began to change. He wasn't in the in the Cul-de-Sack anymore. Not in Peach Creek. He was in a desert, or at least that's what it looked like. There was nothing. Nothing but sand, dirt, and the blue, blue sky. Nothing else.

Edd looked around in hopes of finding someone in this vacant land. He walked about calling for someone when he realized his clothing. Edd panicked. He was in his other form.

"Oh no what if someone sees me?" He whispered to himself.

Edd looked around for a place to hide, but there was nothing.

"No need to be worried young Eddward." Called out a gentle voice. "There's no one here."

Edd searched the area for the source of the voice, but he could not find the speaker, "Who are you?" He called out hesitantly.

"No need to b alarmed," The voice sang in his ears. "There is no danger. I won't harm you dear boy."

"Okay." Edd said, looking around frantically, not convinced.

"Listen Eddward," The voice called out, "I need you to do something."

"What is it?" Edd asked.

"Well I wa-"

"Excuse me for my interruption, but I'll only listen if you present yourself."

"Very well than." The voice said as it was given a speaker.

She was definatly female. Skinny with long, straight dark brown hair and the most beautiful golden brown eyes. She was beautiful. Edd had to look at his shoes, he stuffed his hands in the pockets of his pants.

"What's wrong?" She asked sweetly.

"I'm sorry," Edd said still looking at his feet, "It'd be inappropriate."

"Oh yes, I forgot you were still a bit human."

"Why-why are you dressed like that and I like this?" Edd asked uneasily.

"No time for that Eddward and I'm sure you can figure that one out on your own."

"Okay. So what were you going to tell me?" He said still looking at his feet,

"I want you Eddward to do something very important. I want you to listen carefully all right?" She asked. Edd nodded with his gaze still towards the ground.

"I suppose you understand that there are other dimensions. So now there is a creature. A beast, a monster, whatever you want to call it. He- it wants to destroy humanity."

"Why?" Edd asked, "Oh sorry I interrupted."

"Its all right," She reassured Edd, "Now this monster was sealed in this 'other world' centuries ago by well, a human. So this creature has finally discovered there is a way out of his worldly prison. He of course is set on revenge and wants to terminate all and we can not let this happen. Eddward you are our last soldier, our last hope."

"But where is the entrance to the Other World?" Edd asked.

"Its in San Diego, California. In Chula Vista. it's a portal, you'll be able to find it. Remember we're counting on you Eddward."

Edd finally looked, but she was gone. He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly he found himself in his, in his bed, in his human form.

He glanced at the clock, 7:05. Edd climbed out of bed and looked down at his clothes.

Why am I wearing my clothes? He thought, and I don't remember falling asleep in my bed.

Than he remembered. In the transaction of his two dreams, he had woken up. He woke up and saw his father. He had lifted him up from that awkward position he was in and put him in his bed. He hadn't tried to wake him up and he had come in Edd's room.

Father came in here? Edd thought confused, Why?

"He came to say goodnight." Edd said unexpectedly.

Again he felt that strange feeling of realization. Edd's father had come in to tell Edd goodnight even though he'd be asleep.

"Maybe I was wrong," Edd whispered, "maybe father dose care even if he doesn't pay too much attention."

Edd thought about it, as he made his bed.

I guess I was terribly mistaken. Mother and father may even come in here every night and I never knew. But than what about those countless times I fell asleep on my desk doing homework and awoken in the same place.

Edd felt a little angry. It wasn't fair. Why did he have to have parents that could care less?

"They care, but just not enough." Edd said angrily. He sat down on his neatly made bed when he suddenly remembered. "My dream!" He shouted. It all came back to him. The desert. The voice. The lady. And most importantly, the mission.

"What do I do? I know I can't do this on my own. And I want to… I've got it!" He shouted and ran to the phone. He picked up the receiver and dialed Eddy's number.

"Come on. Come on, pick up the phone." Edd said impatiently.

"Hello." Said a familiar, but tired voice.

"Eddy? Eddy it's me-"

"Double D? Man can't you just let me sleep? Its still seven." Eddy complained over the line.

"Eddy," Edd said, getting annoyed, "you have to learn to wake up earlier, and can you please come over, and bring Ed too."

"Why? Can't you just wait?" Eddy asked.

"No, its an emergency."

"Can't you tell me over the phone?"

"I need to tell both you and Ed at the same time. By the way if I told you over the phone you'd fall asleep on me."

"No I wouldn't"

"Yes you would."

"Uh uh"

"Yes, so I advise you come over and bring Ed now!"

"Sheesh Double D don't have a bird. I'll come over."

"Thanks," Edd sighed, "Bye"

"Bye."

Edd hung up the phone. That was the easy part, now for the hard one. Explaining everything without having Ed and Eddy think he's crazy.

Have to sound convincing, Edd thought.
