"Why would you turn down Eddy?" Amelia asked,

"He didn't come on a date with me, he forgot about me," She answered,

"I bet he has alot on his mind,...seeing how he's goth." She said, Lucy shrugged, Edd ran across the hall in front of Lucy,

"...(pant) Lucy," He breathed, He looked down at her rubbing the swett off,

Lucy got a big disturbed,

"Lucy..Eddy..said...He-was real-" Lucy smacked a hand in front of his face,

"Save it okay, I only dated that no neck chump cause he was attending my every need," She said, Edd felt his arms lower,

"Infact, I feel bad for you being hung around by that freak,"

Edd curled his fists up, "Now that's just not right!" He blurted out, Lucy walked up to him with an attitude,

"Yeah..and what are you gonna do about it..?" She asked in his face, Edd could feel his hands about to fall off and his legs shribble up, he had no idea what was in store for him... Lucy was just about to slug him, when Eddy jumped in front of him,

Lucy could see her hand smashed up against Eddys chest, Eddys eyes bulged out trying to move aside the pain, Edd slowly backed away from behind him and watched his friend fall to the ground, Eddy rubbed his chest in pain. He could tell there was a big brews on it,

"Eddy, we need to take you to the nurse," Edd said picking him up,

The nurse was just down the hall...

3 minutes pass.

Waiting for Eddy to wake up seemed to take eternity, But Edd was patient, soon Eddys eyes began to open. He sat up and looked about the room. Seeing only Edd next to him, "You alright?" He asked getting up,

"Yeah...But the question is, are you?" He asked smiling, Edd could feel himself blush just alittle, He never knew Eddy would care so much for him,

"Yeah im fine but Eddy...Um, you got a HUGE brews on your chest, it was very seriouse," He said, Double D ran over tot he sink to fill up a plastic bag with cold water, and placed it against Eddys chest,

"T-Thankyou.." He said, finding himself looking down at him, a smile came across his face, Edd smiled back at him,

"So where's Ed?" He asked,

"Who knows.." He said finding himself giggling,

Eddy found himself looking at someone he knew, but it was difficault at first, He saw someone with dark blue hair and a pink dress, she was beautiful, her eyes were light blue as well, Eddy gazed apon this figure, It looked like the person who brought him into this world 13 years ago,

"Eddy? Are you alright?" He asked confused, Eddy shook his head and rubbed his eyes,

"Um yeah I just..saw something weird.." He answered. "What was it?"...A few minutes of silence,

"My mom.." He said confused,

"Your mom? Dear Eddy, your moms...well...d.."

"Dead," He covered, and took a long sigh, Eddy felt a hand on his shoulder, "Are you wanting to be free and happy again?" He asked smiling, Eddy looked at his bed he was laying on, He knew what Double D was talking about, "You mean, being released of me 'dark' shell and back to scamming?"

Edd felt his face lit up, "I would give everything up, just to scam again," He said in a hopeful tone, "Eddy, since your brother is here, maybe he can help you get your confidence back," He said, Eddy looked ahead of him and saw his best friend smiling,

Eddy:We really have known each other for a long time now,

Edd:Even though we never really acted as friends,

Eddy: I can't help but think,

Edd:Our friendship will never be torn apart,

But they would never say it...

After a few days, Eddy decided to take a long walk with his brother,

"Hey Adam," He greeted, Walking along side him, Adam cocked an eye brow, "Your..talking to me now?" He teased, Eddy just smiled,

"So what's up?"

"I was wondering if you could help me with something,"

"Like what?"

"Get me back into scamming," he answered. Adam didn't say anything after that, "Scamming ay?" He asked, "Are you willing to listen to me?" He asked, Eddy nodded. "Sure I'll teach ya," He said, Eddy grinned at the ground, he could see himself in a few weeks from now scamming the kids, Being happy, Maybe not as happy,...but close,

"Hey um Eddy, I gotta go to the bank later on, So Lucinda will be home if yuo need her K?" He asked, Eddy nodded, they continued on about their walk, Remembering all the times they had when they were young,

"Hey Adam, whatever happened between you and me?" He asked,

"What do you mean..?"

"Why did you run away?" He asked again, Adam stopped walking and looked down at his brother, "Well after our mom died, I just.."

"You just..?" He interrupted,
"I just didn't care anymore, I thought by running away would be running away form the pain, But I realised you can't run away from memories, Especially the memories you love..." He said as his voice faded, Eddy made a sad look,

"Your not the only one who's been running away.."

Eddy rubbed his eyes, feeling it a bit wet, "S-So bro, what made you come back?"

He did a long sigh, "Well I heard a shrimpy brother of mine wanted some company after our dads accident...So, I came back." he said smiling, Eddy pulled himself forward and hugged his brother tight, He didn't let go untell Adam pulled him off,

"What was that for..?" He asked confused,

"Just...glad your here.." he answered, Adam hugged him back, as they continued their walk,
