At the house next door to Ed's a small girl slides out of the moving truck. Wearing a dark blue sweater that covers all but her fingertips and blue jeans, she walks onto her new house's lawn, leaning against the wall. She plays with the pockets of her jeans and stares at her untied black and white shoes. With a small shake of her head, she flips back the short brown hair covering her thick glasses. Full lips parting, she begins to sing, a clear, beautiful voice flowing out around braces. "Nobody understands me, although I wish they would. Nobody understands me, I hate being misunderstood! Nobody understands me, no matter how hard I try. Nobody understands me, and I can't understand why." Sighing, she sits down and pulls her knees up to her chest, folding her arms on top of them and laying her head down. "Why'd they move to a cul-de-sac with no kids?" She groans, burying her face in her too-big sleeves.

Down the street a little way, the three boys run towards the truck at a gallop. "THERE IT IS!" Ed yells happily, pointing.

"I see it, Ed." Eddy says annoyedly, rolling his eyes. "I ain't blind."

"Eddy." Double-D scolds, wincing as Ed runs straight into the side of the truck, making a dent that looks just like his face.

At the noise, the girl lifts her head, telltale red streaks leading to her eyes. With a sniff, she stands and brushes herself off. Walking toward the truck, she peers around the corner, humming.

While the girl was moving around the corner of the truck, the Eds had time to pull Ed out of the truck, no easy feat. "Well, now that that's done," Double-D pants. "Let's find the owner of this truck and apologize."

Eddy giggles, having been laughing at Ed's misfortune and the blank look on his face as he sits on the pavement, staring at the girl's face looking around the corner.

Beginning to really sing as Eddy and Double-D walk towards the truck, the new girl steps back as they round the corner.

Stopping in their tracks when they see her, Double-D, Ed, and Eddy, all listen to the girl's sweet voice.

"I was walkin' along, mindin' my business, when out of an orange-colored sky…flash!"

Looking at Double-D, she gives him a smile.

"Bam!"

Turning to Eddy, she offers him a smile too.

"Alakazam!"

She finishes by looking at Ed, returning his quizzical look with a grin.

"Wonderful you came by…" She trails off, clasping her hands behind her back politely. "Hi." Her voice is now quiet, and she flushes a little.

The boys stare at her a moment before Double-D steps forward, holding his hand outward cheerfully. "Greetings! May I be the first to welcome you to our humble cul-de-sac. I'm Eddward, but feel free to call me Double-D. This is Ed," He says, nodding to the boy, who has now gotten to his feet. Ed grins HUGELY and waves behind his head. "HIYA!"

The girl giggles, waiting for the boy in front of her to finish. "And this," He wraps up, his eyes going to half-lids. "Is Eddy." Eddy smiles suavely and raises his eyebrows, gripping his collar.

She smiles brightly and grasps Double-D's hand, shaking it firmly. "It's a pleasure to meet you three. I'm Hannah. I thought I was the only kid around her for a minute." She says sheepishly, pulling her hand behind her back again.

Suddenly, Ed leaps forward and wraps his arms around Hannah, picking her up in a rib-crunching hug. The girl's eyes cross behind her glasses and she lets her tongue flop out of her open mouth with a giggles. Ed looks up at her and laughs. "You are our pal forever!" He says happily, laughing. Hannah laughs along with him, wriggling her arms out of his grasp. "Yeah, Ed. Friends forever." She agrees, wrapping her own arms around Ed's neck and hugging him back until he turns blue and drops her. Landing on her feet, she straightens her sweated before looking at the other two Eds, who are gazing at her with astonished expressions. "What?" she asks innocently, shrugging.

After a moment more, Eddy steps up, eying her from his tiptoes. "Listen, girly. I'm the main man around here, and if you want to be making trouble, you're gonna have to answer to me." He says, stepping back and turning his back, a haughty look on his face.

Hannah blinks, then walks around to his front. "Main man, huh?" She asks. "Whom are you main man over?"

Eddy blinks, looking unsure. "…Uh…just everyone in the cul-de-sac. They all know to answer to me." He finally returns sharply. Double-D follows this remark with a sigh and a roll of the eyes, folding his arms and tapping his foot.

Hannah glances at him before making a melodramatic bow with one hand behind her back and the other out in front of her. "My humble apologies, your highness." She says without even a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Turning just so, she reveals to Double-D crossed fingers behind her back. Stifling a giggle with one hand, Double-D turns away to hide his laughter while Eddy smiles haughtily. "Thank you." Looking at Ed, he hits him on the back of the head. "Take a lesson from her, monobrow. She knows how to treat royalty like myself." He says before swaggering off. Ed blinks confusedly before following his friend like a puppy, drooly tongue and all.

As they walk off, Hannah turns to face Double-D, laughing along with him. "Is he always like this?" She asks between giggles.

Double-D nods. "I'm sorry to say, but he can be very narcissistic at times."

Hannah nods, rolling her eyes. "Narcissistic indeed."

Double-D blinks, surprised, then smiles. "I'm used to having to explain myself, that was very good!"

Hannah shrugs. "I used to be called the smart one where I lived."

Double-D looks astonished. "As I am here! I have a feeling, Hannah, that we will be good friends.
