Chapter 5: Treaty? Or Not?

Eddy stormed into his room, knocking over a few C.Ds for his jukebox as he sat at the edge of his bed, sulking and seemingly like he was ready to burst. Double-D and Ed had walked in a bit after, looking worried about his friend. "Aw come on Eddy, they were just poking a little fun at you." Double-D tried to relax his friend, though he himself was a bit ticked for earlier.

"Yeah, just because you like---" Ed started, but a hand covered his mouth before he was finished, or before the short boy could give either of them a look. "I DON'T LIKE LEE KANKER!" He repeated, shaking a fist. Double-D sweated a bit, waving his arms in front of him in defense.

"I didn't say you did!" He responded quickly. Eddy lowered his hand, though he was still upset, and now even more so as his two friends were moving in on him. "Whatever, I'm taking a walk." He said dryly, jumping off the bed and pushing his way past Ed and Double-D. The two simply stood there as they watched their friend storm out, unsure what to do.

Meanwhile, Lee was walking down the sidewalk again, having finished hanging out with her sisters a while ago. They ticked her off to the limits, her face a bit red as they had teased her just as the cul-de-sac kids had teased Eddy. It seemed both of them were having the same problem.

"Stupid sisters." She mumbled. It was then she was surprised as Eddy was coming her way, on the same sidewalk. She grinned slightly, then shook her head. She was bored and didn't feel like picking on the short boy right now.

Eddy looked up, finally spotting her, and instead of running away screaming like he normally would, he instead stormed up to the kanker, surprising her. "What the heck was the deal! You HAD to make me get myself embarrassed in front of everyone!"

Confused, though not wanting this yelling at this point, exclaimed back. "I have no clue what your talking about shrimp! And I don't need to deal with a pipsqueak like you!" She countered with a just as loud yell. They were on a sidewalk that had no cul-de-sac kids whatsoever, so no one was around to hear.

"I'm not a shrimp!" Eddy whined. Lee however, simply smirked. "You sure look like one up here." She replied. Eddy's face flushed a bit, and he stuffed his hands in his pockets, looking away. "Whatever..." He said.

They stood there for a bit, silent, then Lee looked down at the ed. "Eddy?" She asked, making Eddy look up at her oddly.

"What?" He asked, a bit rudely. Lee didn't mind however, as she said. "Sorry for your teasing." She said simply. Eddy was surprised, then said back. "You too...?"

They both stood there longer, and at that point, Eddy was thinking this wasn't the same Lee. She then said with a grunt. "Well anyways, I'm picking up some peanut butter for some sandwiches, cya squirt." She said with a laugh and walking past him. Eddy rolled his eyes, but couldn't help but crack a tiny smile as he walked back to his home. It was to his surprise, Double-D and Ed sitting at the edge of his bed, waiting. Double-D stood up first.

"Eddy, look..." He started, but Eddy said with a snicker. "Its fine sockhead, anyways, let's get ready for tommorow's scam!" He exclaimed. Double-D was surprised, seeing his friend back to his old self. Eddy was still thinking about Lee now, wondering if she really was that bad. Ed then grinned and lifted his small friend up, giving him a hug. "Awww I see your jitters little buddy!" He churped happily. Eddy gave him an odd look, then slid from his grasp, saying.

"Yeah yeah, let's get cracking!" He exclaimed. His friends nodded, then started plotting...
