After a few days.
A small knock.
Eddy walked up and opened the door.
"Hey Eddy, how are you..?" Marie asked looking nervouse.
"I've been better..." He answered. He moved out of the way to let Marie in.
"Your not gonna live here alone are you?" She asked careing.
"No, my brothers gonna come and so is his girlfriend, there gonne look after me." He said looking at his pictures.
"Y-Your brother?" She stammered.
"Yeah. The king of the cul-de-sac."
Marie felt her hands get all swetty.
"Nice...Your brother is so cute.." She whistpered.
Eddy looked into his cerial. "Marie.." He asked.
"Yeah?"
"Why do you think it was my fathers time to go?" He asked.
Mari stood there silently.
"I'm not sure." She soon answered. "Eddy me and my sisters no how you feel, We don't have a dad for one." She quickly added.
Eddy did a small nod.
"I never thought my dad had to go, He was someone I could talk to." He said.
"Maybe you can have that same talk again, only this time, with your brother, Not the brother who rules the cul-de-sac, But the real brother you been with the past 12 years." She said. She placed her arm on his shoulder tenderly.
"Trust me its alot better then worshiping him.."
Eddy for the first time had a small grin on his face. "yeah...Thanks" He said quietly.
"Sure."
The room was silent for a long time. Eddy and Marie stood there quietly.
"Soo,...I guess I'll be going." She said.
"Marie hang on." Eddy quickly said before she walked out the door. She turned back.
"Do you...Wanna join me for breakfast?" He asked.
"Sure ok." She answered smiling.
She pulled a sear next to Eddy having some cerial as well...

"I'm not buying this." Kevin said crossing his arms.
"Yeah last time Eddy said his brother was coming home it was a total lie!"
"I know but guys, His father just died...WHO ELSE WOULD HE BE LIVING WITH?" Marie asked.
"By himself...Like the little dork he is." Kevin mumbled.
"Kevin, Eddy's going threw some tough time right now, we gotta help him out. He only has us now." Nazz said frowning.
Darn...
"Thanks Nazz." Marie said.
"I must admit Sarah..this is sad.." Jimmy said with some tear coming down. "I never wished for his parents to leave."
"Same here Jimmy." Sarah said whiping her eyes.
"Rolf can't help but wallow for a weak.." He said looking to the ground.
"Are you crying Plank?" Jonny asked.
"Lemme get you a tissue,"
Edd and Ed couln't help but over hear the conversation the kids were talking about.
"Pardon me Marie, but what are you talking about?" Marie asked.
"We're gonna make Eddy's day the best since his fathers gone." She answered.
"That's nice of you." Edd said smiling.
"MARIEEEEEEE!" A loud scream shouted from the back of the school.
"Lee..." Marie sighed. She ran behind the school as fast as she can.
She stopped in front of her catching her breath.
"What do ya want?" She aske tiredly.
"Someone told us you had breakfast with MY BOYFRIEND!...Lemme say that again, MYYYYY! BOYFRIEND!" Lee yelled in her face.
Marie rubbed her face after Lees spit.
"Yeah what's wrong with that?" She asked.
"Ha! I also noticed you and Eddy seem to have a special friendship even me and him don't have. Not even Eddy and Edd have." She said crossing her arms.
"Does this mean Lee gets the smart one?" May asked.
Lee wacked her hard with her fists.
"Lee It's not like that at all." She said curling her fists.
"Don't give me that." She said.
"Maybe this will cheer you up, Eddy's brother is coming home. So is his girlfriend." She said.
"And now your inlove with a liar?" Lee yelled.
"Your nasty!" Marie yelled,
"Look, If your not with me. then your against me." She said crossing her arms. She took a few steps forward. And stopped again.
"I thought you guys were my sisters...I guess I was wrong.." She said, She walked back in front of the school.
Marie and May were left standing there looking to the ground.
"May stop eating the grass.."
