Chapter 4: Escaping The Crowd

After some panicking on Eddy's part, okay a lot of panicking, Double-D finally snapped him out of him, exclaiming. "Eddy, control yourself! Eyes are watching us." He whispered the last part, as many of the cul-de-sac kids were glancing at them with odd looks. After taking a deep breath, the short boy said in a rush.

"You see I ran into Lee and I was like Thanks and she went huh? And then I was like yelling, then, a big blur!" His description sounded like a cheerleader in a way, and Double-D snickered a bit, causing Eddy's face to turn red.

"What sockhead!" He glared. The brainy ed wove his hands in defense, saying. "I'm not trying to laugh at you Eddy, its just I barely could understand a word you said." Eddy sighed, pinching himself between the eyes, and took a breath.

"Okay look, I bumped into Lee, and I did what you said blubber-mouth, and thanked her. She was all over me after that!" He exclaimed. However, Double-D could tell he was overreacting. Ed was of course, just grinning and hugging his friend, causing Eddy to gasp for air.

"Aww Eddy's in love!" The dumb ed exclaimed in a happy tone. Eddy coughed, then eyes widening as Ed said that, put his hand over Ed's mouth. "Shut it mono-brow, I DON'T love anything!" With that, the short ed kicked himself out of Ed's grasp, stumbling into Double-D and making him fall over.

"Well you don't have to blame me for it Eddy." Double-D said, sarcasm in his voice as he got back on his feet. Eddy blushed, furious. Then as loud as he could, he yelled.

"I DON'T LIKE LEE KANKER!" With that, every kid looked at him, and quickly understanding the situation, started laughing. Eddy looked at them, face still red, and even Kevin who was at first chasing after the short ed, was laughing.

"The little ed-boy has weird tastes in women, yes? No? Aw this reminds me of the old country…" Rolf sighed happily, going off into his own world. Sarah and Jimmy ran over, the young girl poking Eddy in the gut and grinning.

"Eddy and Lee sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" She teased. Eddy growled and tried to grab the two, but they quickly slipped away, running back to the crowd. Nazz giggled and said.

"Its okay to be embarrassed Eddy, its not easy telling everyone you have a loved one." She explained in her usual tone. Eddy's hands clenched into fists, and he screamed.

"Everyone leave me alone!" With that, he stormed back to his house. Ed was sucking his thumb (Same old Ed), while Double-D looked shocked.

"Eddy!" He yelled for his friend, but Eddy ignored him. Enraged in a way, Double-D yelled at everyone.

"YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!" His high voice made everyone turn and look at him, although their faces gave off the impression that they didn't care. Ed then stuck his tongue out at them, which of course caused Sarah to yell.

"I'M TELLING MOM YOUR STICKING YOUR TONGUE OUT AT ME!" She screeched. Kevin snickered a bit, and Double-D directed his angry glare at him.

"And you! You got a lot of nerve mister, teasing someone, insulting them, even trying to beat them up? Why, I never…" With that, the two Eds walked off, even when Kevin yelled. "Just like a dork to defend another dork! Just keep him away from me and my bike!"

Author's PN: Oddly I updated.lol Don't know why, just felt like doing it. Of course my writing skills are really MUCH better now, but since I don't feel like rewriting this story yet, and all my chapters are around 500, and this IS a short story, I'm keeping the chapters simple and small lol.
