It was lunchtime at the Genetics cafeteria. Our trio were enjoying their meal. Ed and Edd were having a conversation between themselves. The limiters were exchanging notes on their training and the abilities they had when the Ereinbar Set was activated.
"I have to ask what did you experience when you had your senses combined with your partner?" asked the intellectual boy, who was curious if it was the same feeling he felt.
"Well, I don't have many words for it. But it was like, having your mind advance to another state." Ed told him
"An apt description of what you went through. I had similar one myself. Though it was much more sensitive as if my partner was caressing me." Double D said
Eddy was listening in on their conversation. It was not bad enough that he didn't get a partner first. If this keeps up, I'm ending them he said in his mind.
"That's it! I've had it!" he stormed off from the table
"Where are you going?" Double D asked
"To the roof. Where else?" his two friends look at each other uncertain of his ominous answer.
Climbing up the stairs in a steady manner. He opened the door of the access shade and went to the same area he would come to on the roof. Eddy looked through the fence. Of course, he did not feel the strange presence that was waiting for him.
"Man, what it is wrong with me." he said
"Maybe it's because you're debating with yourself." a voice answered him
Eddy tilted his head in the direction, where the voice came from. A girl was standing right next to him. Clearly there for the same reason he was. Something was off about this Pandora as it wasn't likely that a girl would be there with him.
How did she get here without me noticing? More importantly, she has that look in her eyes. It's almost as if she doesn't care or even want to be here. He mulled over his thoughts.
She had long silver hair that reached until her back. Purple eyes in an almost constant neutral stare, viewing the world through complex calculations and supernatural perception with a small smile. She was very beautiful and had an ominous air around her.
"Hey, I'm- "
"Eddy McGee. I know" she said which creeped out Eddy
"How do you know my, name?" he asked
"I've watched from afar." Camille softly answered
At this point he was beyond creeped out. She might be a stalker of some kind. How did she even do this without anyone noticing. The girl could be very efficient in covering her tracks.
"You want to be my partner?" he asked her
"No." she flatly replied
Eddy then stopped and looked at her. As she walked to the access shed and go back to her training. He was curious if this was her answer. The boy went over the short conversation he had with her as he walked back to the cafeteria. His friends were talking about the prospect of going back home.
"Hey Eddy." Double D greeted, but his friend sat back on his chair.
"Is something wrong?" he asked, seeing that he was in a slump.
"There's this strange girl I met. I don't who she was but the air around felt very off." Eddy said
"What did she look like?" Double D asked
"She had silver hair and purple eyes, and then there's this look in her eyes." behind them Athena and Jade looked at each other. They knew all too well who that was.
Edd noticed the girls. Seeing they somehow know who this person was. "Care to indulge us on this matter." he asked them
"That would be Camille. She's our friend, sort of." Jade said
"She's an odd character here. We see her from time to time. But she's like a ghost appearing and disappearing in a blink of an eye." Athena added
"Why me? Though." he wondered why would she be interested in him
"When something catches her interest, she would learn everything about it. She does this of her own volition."
An interesting character if I do say so myself. He thought. Perhaps she could be the one?
"Where can I find Camille?" he asked, if she could be it. Then it's time to Start.
"That's the tricky part. She can be anywhere around campus." Jade replied
"I'll leave you two. While I start." he got up from his seat and walked away.
"Start?" both girls said in unison.
Double D and Ed were just as confused as their partners.
Eddy was walking back to his room. Time to ask her, of course what's a date without getting ready. Since, all of his stuff was back home. He'd have to make do with what he had on hand.
Speak of the Devil. There she is. Camille was standing in the hall. As if she expected him.
"Hey Camille." he said in a soft voice. "I think you and I have gotten off the wrong foot." Camille remained silent; Eddy continued on his way maybe he could try later.
"You know we can talk in my room." Alright its going well
The boy turned on his heel and walked back to her. Eddy and Camille were walking to the second-year dorms. Her room was on the 4th floor, number 654. She swiped her access card and led him inside. Her bed had a thin veil on it, a shelf full of liquor, two book shelfs and an old record player.
"Take a seat. I'll prepare something." She said
Camille got 2 glasses and took a bottle from the shelf, pouring it in. Eddy sat on the chair that was next to her bed. She walked back to him and gave him a glass. The pandora then sat on the side of her bed. "Cheers." she raised her glass and the young man did the same
Toasting their glasses which made some of the drink to swing back and forth. Taking a little sip, Eddy noted that it had a strange taste. "What is this stuff?" he asked wanting to find out what it was
"Martell Cognac." she replied with a smirk
"What's your full name?" he questioned
"It's Camille Gusteau." she took a swig from her glass
"Why me though? Out of everyone here." a long silence permeated in the room as Camille was in deep thought of what to tell him.
"It's because I find you interesting." Camille said "You caught my eye when you first came here. From then I learned of you from what sparse information I could get. That's why I want you to be my partner."
"Well, you know what they say. Love works in mysterious ways."
"Come here later, and I'll begin the baptism."
Eddy then left while Camille replaced the glasses. "This is going." She said, both decided to get ready for the night.
It was midnight. Eddy moved through the darkness guided by the lights outside. He reached her dorm and slowly opened the door. There he found Camille sitting cross-legged on her bed.
"Take off your uniform and relax." she said in a soft tone
He did as instructed. Eddy moved to her bed and faced forward. She placed one of her stigmata in her palm. And gently pressed it into his back, the boy winced from the pain but would subside later. "How do you feel?' she asked him
"I feel everything from you." he commented. "All our thoughts are shared there are no secrets between us." the two of them laughed at the really cheesy line
"Ok you know what comes next right?" she asked
"After the First Room Invitation its Bonding."
"Good, come here earlier than now."
"Ok." he was about to leave when Camille stopped him. She leaned in close to his lips. This was the first time a girl kissed him. She leaned away and he went out the door with a smile.
It was the next night. Eddy again went to her room. He opened the door and found her wearing a black strap shirt and matching panties.
"I didn't know you were ready." Eddy said
"Oh no, mine is peacock French lingerie. I can change if you want." Camille said
"No that's fine." he replied, as the Pandora pulled him closer by his tie
The two then began making out. And falling on the bed where it continued. He pulled down one of the straps, and began licking on her breast. She moaned lightly from the sensation.
Let's not continue this.
The next week. The Eds and their partners were having breakfast together. Bystander was walking towards them. "Hey guys, seems you took my advice." he greeted them
"Yes, we did." answered Double D
"Its time to leave guys. I fixed the problem." he told them
The Eds and their partners followed him to the main school building. They knew it was time to go and decided to say farewell with them. Upon reaching the roof. Bystander activated the portal.
"I'm going to miss you, Jade. Never forget me." Ed said to her
"I will." she nodded
Eddy and Camille looked at each other before shaking hands. Indicating they will meet again someday.
Lastly was Athena and Double D. The two then held each other's hands.
"Even though our time spent together was brief. It was the most cherished moments in my life." tears were beginning to form in his eyes.
She was teary-eyed understanding his decision. "Never forget that I will always be with you." those words resonated within him.
The boys passed through the portal. Back to their world.
Remember Remember the Fifth of November!
And that's it the Eds are finally home. How will they be without their partners? Another revelation will be revealed tomorrow from Bystander.
