Ed meets world Chapter 3: Eden has been found, an ed, edd n eddy fanfic

That music... It didn't belong in a house like this... It was too modern...

Edd immediately forgot about what just had happened outside, and searched for the source. It came from upstairs...

As he slowly went up the stairs, the music seemed to fade. He froze when he heared footsteps coming his way. A shadow appeared on the brick wall.

"Hello? Someone there?" a female voice asked.

Edd couldn't speak. His troath was too dry to do so. A young woman walked into the hallway, towards the stairs.

"What are you doing here?" she asked him.

A shiver went down his spine. She asked him what he was doing there? She was the one that shouldn't be all alone in that old house on a sunny day like this. Why did he never notice her in the Cul-de-Sac?

"I heard the music playing." he answered, "I wanted to know where it came from. And what are you doing here?"

"I live here." she explained.

"What? You actually live here? How long have you been here, then... I've never noticed you around." he stammered.

"I've been here my whole life. But I've also been training my whole life. That's why you never saw me before, I guess. I only get outside to get some food once in a while."

"Training? For what? And if you get out to get food, you need money, right? So where did you get the money from?"

"So many questions." she sighed, "I've been training my rhythmical gymnastics for years, because that's what I've promised my dad... And I get the money from old bottles and cans that I find laying around... and there's enough antiques around here to sell just in case..."

"And, if you don't mind me asking, where are your parents?"

"I don't know where my mom is. And my dad died many years ago."

"Oh... sorry..."

Edd examined the girl. Her skinny figure and pale skin made her look like a ghost, and her dark purple hair didn't help her look much healty, either. It seemed that she was tired. Her black eyes looked soulless to him. The only brightly colored things about her were her filthy, red, oversized shirt and a bright red star on the beany she was wearing.

"It's okay, I've learned to live with it." she said softly as she turned her back on Edd, "Now, if you don't mind, I'll start training again."

"I...I didn't catch your name." Edd said, walking after her.

"I didn't tell you my name." she answered, looking over her shoulder.

Edd sticked out his arm towards her.

"I'm Edward. Edd, for short."

She looked at his hand, and after a few seconds, she took it.

"Eden."

Until so far, chapter 3!

And thus, Edd met Eden... and now, Eden has to meet the others.

If she wants to get out the house, that is...
