Eden was afraid of what was about to happen. She could feel her heart skipping a beat every minute or so, and she couldn't breathe correctly.

She blinked for a few times. Was it just her imagination, or was the room getting darker? Maybe it was getting dark, or maybe she was turning blind...

She thought about what had happened before... she was just training, as usual, when all of the sudden she felt dizzy and tired. She had to hold the table to not fall down. The music had slowly faded away. "Sick and Tired" was playing on the radio, she recalled, and she smirked, though there were tears in her eyes. Maybe she had trained too much... no... it couldn't be that, could it? She had trained day and night ever since her father's death, so why should she get ill because of that, now? Why now...now she had made a new friend... finally...

She looked over to the hazy figure in the hallway. Edward. He was waiting, but for what? Why didn't he come over to her and do something... anything...

A bigger figure came into the hallway, and was walking along with Edd, towards her. She closed her eyes, and just wanted it all to be over. She wouldn't die alone... Edd was with her...

Ed looked at the lifeless body on the wooden floor. This wasn't a chicken, but a girl. Edd was talking to him, panicing, but all Ed saw was the girl. All Ed heared was the girl's breathing. All Ed wanted was to help...

To Edd's amazement, Ed didn't just throw Eden over his shoulder and run off. Instead, the large guy picked her up very carefully, and turned to Edd.

"Where are we going, Double-D?" he asked.

"Down... downstairs..." Edd replied, and pointed to the hallway.

Ed walked down the stairs, trying not to move Eden out her current position in his arms. Edd followed them...

Eden felt the warmth of the sun on her face as they walked out the door. The fresh air tickled her lungs, and the noise she heard for so many years were finally clear voices, and no longer at the other side of the walls. Feeling safe in the tall man's arms, she opened one eye. The figures were still blurred, but she did see a whole diversity of colors...red and green, blue and yellow, black and white... this outside-world was so colorfull...

As she closed her eye again, she started to drift away... turning her face towards the man again, she brushed her nose against the green fabric of his coat...

And she fell asleep...

Eddy snapped out of his daydream once again. His friends were packing their bags again to go to their classes. He searched his own bag for his agenda, when Eden called out his name. She smiled at him, and told him to come with her, ever since they both had the same class now.

Eden. Good old Eden. She had changed the Ed's lives... They finally started to grow up because of her. Their lives no longer were filled with scams and jawbreakers, but those things moved over for the care of Eden. After spending 3 weeks in the hospital because of a tumor in her head, Eden became afraid to be alone. That's why she spends days and nights with the Ed's, her new friends...

And they don't mind...

Because it's all for Eden.
