V.C.: Maybe, but that's for the readers to decide.

Let's Get Animat-Ed
It was a warm summer day in the small cul-de-sac of Peach Creek. As usual, the neighborhood children were hanging out and enjoying themselves while a certain mischievous trio were off doing other things.
Ed and Double D were walking toward Eddy's house, having not heard from their loudmouth friend at all that day and wanting to hang out with him.
Ed was a tall yellow skinned boy with an orange buzzcut and a black unibrow. He also uniquely had no chin. He was known as an unhygienic yet also lovable idiot who possessed almost superhuman strength. He wore a green jacket with a white and red striped shirt, baggy blueish purple pants, and large black shoes.
Edd, or Double D as most knew him, was a skinny pale boy with an unathletic build, a gap in his teeth, and average height. He wore a red t-shirt, purple shorts, red thigh high socks, a pair of cyan shoes, and a black ski cap that was his trademark.
"I can't wait to get to Eddy's, Double D!" Ed grinned at the thought of spending time with his two best friends. "We can play games, and read epic comic books, and swap manly stories of our days in the hunt, and-."
"Days in the hunt?" Double D interrupted Ed with a skeptical look. "What hunt, may I ask?"
"The hunt for fame. The hunt for sugar. Whatever hunt we are on in this journey of life, my sock hatted friend."
"I suppose that's fair." Double D decided to let that one go. As the duo approached Eddy's front door, Double D knocked and rang the doorbell. He waited patiently for a few minutes before frowning. "That's odd. Eddy would normally answer the door by now."
"Uh-oh! Eddy's in trouble!"
"No, Ed." Double D shook his head. "I'm sure Eddy is-."
"Hold on Eddy! I'm coming!" Ed then took a step back before running at insane speeds and running straight through the door, leaving an Ed-shaped hole and flattened Double D in his wake. Ed ran through the house and made it to Eddy's bedroom.
Double D caught up to his dim-witted friend. "Ed! You busted Eddy's door, and not to mention left me with several aches I will not get over for-."
"Shh." Ed shushed his intellectual friend. The sock hatted Edd sighed and nodded, leaning beside Ed as they both tried to listen into Eddy's room. To their surprise, they heard two voices singing, and one of them sounded like Eddy. Ed pushed open the door to reveal Eddy sitting in front of a television, singing.
sei wo uke sorezore ga jinsei wo ouka
nou no BURAKKU BOKKUSU wo shiru
sore wa kou ka
you wa RIMITTO RAIN o
subete ryouga saa ikou ka fumidasu sore wa kyou da
"Eddy?!"
"AAHHH! (Who is there?!") Eddy screamed out in surprise as he paused his TV and spun around to see his two friends. Their eyes widened when they saw Eddy wearing a different shirt than normal. He wore a black shirt with four beautiful anime girls, each standing above four letters printed in white that spelt out R. W. B. Y.
Eddy was a short loudmouth boy with a flat head, no neck, and only three long strands of jet black hair. He normally wore a yellow bowling shirt with a red stripe and purple collar, blue jeans with a wallet chain hanging from one pocket, and red and white sneakers. In those clothes places, he wore the RWBY shirt and a pair of dark purple jeans along with an orange headband that had a black swirl on it.
"What are you two doing here?" Eddy asked when he saw it was only Ed and Double D. "I didn't call you guys, and I don't have any plans for a scam today. I was just going to chill out."
"You watch anime?" Ed replied, looking over at the screen which was paused in the middle of the show's opening sequence.
"Yeah, why?"
"Fairy Tail or One Piece?"
"Excuse me?" Double asked politely, but was ignored.
"Both," Eddy shook his head. "I don't like one more than the other. You watch anime, Ed?"
"Yep! Why didn't you tell me you were into it too?" Ed gave his short friend a look of confusion and a bit hurt.
"Excuse me?" Double D asked again with less patience, but was ignored once again.
"I thought you guys would make fun of me." Eddy confessed while looking down. "My bro always thought it was weird that I was into anime, and it only got worse when I started getting Japanese down. Back when I was like six and he would babysit me, he called me a weeaboo every chance he got and mocked me by mimicking me when I'd try to speak in Japanese."
Ed's eyes narrowed at the mere mention of the word 'weeaboo'. "How dare he?! If I see him then I'll give him the full power of my Super Saiyan God form!"
"Thanks Ed," Eddy smiled at the tall lump. "That means a lot."
"Would someone please explain to me what is going on?!" Double D snapped in irritation, being fed up with getting ignored and having no idea what was going on.
"We're talking about anime."
"I have gathered that much," Double D replied while trying to keep his calm. "But what I want to know is what anime is and why you would be made fun of for not enjoying it."
Ed and Eddy shared a look, thinking that their sock hatted friend may have been playing some sort of joke. However, the serious look on his face told them otherwise. Eddy felt anger build up inside of him as the thought of his supposedly smart friend had no idea what anime was.
("YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ANIME IS?! YOU IDIOT! HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A GENIUS, BUT NOT KNOW SOMETHING SO SIMPLE?!") Eddy roared in outrage.
"What on Earth did you just say?" Double D asked in confusion. The sock hatted Edd spoke several languages, but Japanese was not one of them. Seeing that Eddy wouldn't be calm enough to reply in English, Ed stepped in and helped as best he could.
"I think Eddy just called you an idiot for not knowing anime Double D."
"What?!" The sock hatted Edd felt deeply insulted. "You dare to throw mud at my intellect?!"
"You dare to come to me and not know about the greatest thing on this planet." Eddy countered with fire in his eyes. "It's foreign culture, Sockhead! You blab on about that sorta junk all the time! If you're so smart, then you should know this sort of stuff."
Double D paused for a minute to think that over, then gave the short scammer a hard look. "Very well then, I believe you may have a point. How about this? We have ourselves a little trivia game. I get twenty-four hours to research everything and anything that I can on the subject, and then I will prove that my knowledge far surpasses yours. Are you capable of handling such a challenge?"
"You're on dobe." Eddy replied with a narrow gaze. "But I want Ed to be with you while you're making the trivia game. The last thing I want is for you to rig the game in your favor."
"You think I would seriously cheat?" Double D gawked, appalled at the mere thought.
Eddy paused. "Not normally, but I know how much you hate looking stupid."
Double D frowned at that statement. He knew Eddy was right, but didn't want to admit it. Sighing in defeat, the sock hatted, Edd nodded his head. "If that would help ensure you of the legitimacy of this competition, then so be it."
"Good," Eddy nodded.
"Now then," Double D turned to leave. "I shall be off to begin my research."
"One more thing, Sockhead." Eddy called out to the intellectual youth. Double D went to stop, but tripped on his shoelaces and fell face first onto Eddy's carpeted floor. He lay there for a minute before getting up, and waiting patiently for Eddy to say his request. "If we're really gonna do this, then I want you to wear the right clothes."
"What kind of clothes?"
Eddy and Ed shared a look, both grinning from ear to ear. The short scammer then motioned to his clothes as his grin widened. "I want you to wear anime merch."
Double D blinked in confusion. "They make merchandise for these silly anime shows?"
"They are not silly!" Ed and Eddy shouted in perfect unison. They looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Ed pointed at Eddy's clothes while Eddy took off his headband.
"Yes, Double Dobe. They make merch for anime. What did you think these clothes were?"
"Items from your annual Christmas haul of clothing."
"Whatever," Eddy huffed while crossing his arms over his chest. "The point is, I want you to wear some merch. We'll be doing this in front of the entire cul-de-sac, so I want you to promote anime as best you can."
"Fine," sighed Double D. "If I must, then I shall do what I can." With that, the sock hatted Edd walked off with Ed not too far behind him.
Later; Double D's House:
In the bedroom of Double D, the intellectual youth was in the middle of compiling information while typing away tirelessly at a small computer. He occasionally flicked his gaze toward the television, where an early episode of an anime played out. "Overarching plotlines, intriguing yet scattered lore that varies in clarity, worlds that often relate to some form of violence and/or supernatural power..."
"I'm back Double D!" Ed snapped the sock hatted boy out of his musings and directed his attention on the tall lump in his doorway.
"Ah Ed, you found me some merchandise?"
"Yup!" Ed threw a pair of clothes onto the floor in front of Double D. "They're mine, but you can use them."
Double D eyed the clothes, noting the putrid scent that emanated off the pile. He used the edge of his foot to gently nudge the small pile aside only for it to growl and shuffle to the side. and glanced at Ed nervously. "Well, um, how thoughtful of you, Ed. I appreciate you lending me your clothes so that I may partake in this game to prove my knowledge."
"Uh-huh," Ed nodded with a smile. "If it'll get you into anime, then I'll do anything."
"But this isn't meant to get me 'into anime' as you put it," Double D protested with a frown. "This is merely meant for me to prove that I am not an idiot, or a baka, or whatever else Eddy decides to call me."
Ed's smile faded at those words. "Oh."
"Now," Double D turned back to his computer screen. "I have gathered a wide array of information on the topics of anime. I have labeled each franchise into the different categories people give them, such as Shoujo or Shounen anime, and have neatly arranged it in such a way where all we need to do is generate a trivia sheet. Do you follow, Ed?"
"Roger that, Double D." Ed smiled while saluting his brainy friend.
"Good." Double D then presented Ed with a small remote. "Per Eddy's request, I want you to help me generate the sheet. All you have to do is press the button on this remote. Doing so will activate the Trivia Master which I have created."
Ed did as he was told, and watched in awe as a robotic version of Double D that was painted to be wearing a tuxedo came to life. The machine's eyes glowed a bright blue as it spoke in a mechanical version of the real Double D's voice. "Trivia Master Activated. Beginning Trivia Generation process. Please input necessary categories so the process may begin."
Double D then took that as his cue and typed into his computer. Once finished, he explained himself to the dim-witted Ed. "I have input four different areas of knowledge which the Trivia Master will create randomized questions for. After that is complete, all that is needed is the contestants and a suitable battleground."
"We could use the place where you fought the Kankers as the Masked Mumbler." Ed offered.
The sock hatted Edd shivered at that memory, then let out a small sigh. "I suppose that will work." He directed his gaze back to the merchandise. "With that taken care of, I need to get these clothes washed. Then I will spend as much time as I can studying what I have learned."
"Wash?" Ed's eyes widened in fear. "Water bad for Ed, Double D!" The dim-witted lump then ran off in a panic,
"Ed, no! Come back, I still need your help!" With that, Double D chased after his tall friend.
The Next Day; At the Contest:
The rest of the cul-de-sac were all sitting around on wooden bleachers, waiting for the competition to begin. Eddy was sitting in a small booth with a red buzzer, wearing the same clothes he had been wearing the day prior of his RWBY shirt and orange headband with a black swirl.
Double D was unable to be seen as he was finishing setting up the projector which would display the sheet which the Trivia Master had generated. He looked everything over and hummed in satisfaction. "I believe everything to be fully operational."
The screen now displayed four columns, each with five rows going down from 100 to 500. At the top of each category from left to right read; Music, Creators, Plot, and Characters.
"Then c'mon," Eddy smirked. "I wanna hurry up and whoop you."
"On the contrary, Eddy," Double D stepped forth for the whole cul-de-sac to see him. "I believe it is I who will be 'whooping' you."
Double D wore a blue shirt with All Might on it, a straw hat in place of his usual sock hat, a Konoha headband with a scratch through the leaf around his neck, a pair of wristbands which depicted a golden crescent moon, dark blue jeans, a pair of red and white running shoes, and a device known as a Duel Disk on one arm.
"Yeah, well, we'll see about that." Eddy's smirk widened as Double D walked over to the empty booth next to Eddy and sat down.
The Trivia Master stood with a smile on his face. "Welcome everyone, to this exciting round of Anime Trivia. I will be your host for today, and I hope we enjoy our-."
"Get on with it!" Kevin, the redheaded neighborhood jock, shouted in irritation.
"Kevin, be patient." Nazz, a blonde haired girl who every boy in Peach Creek idolized, scolded the jock.
"Ahem." The Trivia Master cleared his throat. "If I may, allow me to introduce to you all our contestants for today. This battle will be waged between two longtime friends; Eddy McGee and Eddward "Double D" Vincent. The game will continue until all questions have been answered and one side has a definitive victory. Any words from our competitors?"
"Yeah," Eddy glanced out at the cul-de-sac kids and grinned. "I can't wait to trounce Sockhead. I'll teach that dobe a lesson about messin' with Eddy McRich!"
"Your ego is larger than that flat head of yours, as usual." Double D couldn't help but smile at the scowl Eddy gave him. "I hope you understand that I am the genius of our friend group, and unfortunately for you, trivia is my territory."
"Well, it'll be mine by the time we're done here."
"Think what you like," Double D turned to the Trivia Master. "I am ready to begin."
"Then let us flip an Ed to decide the turn order." Many people became confused by that statement. Their eyes widened in surprise as Ed was lowered from a nearby tree, dangling by a loose rope. "If he lands on his back, Eddy will go first. If he lands on his stomach then Double D will go first."
"I'm a chicken!" Ed exclaimed with a wide grin as he flapped his arms. "Cock-a-doodle-do!"
"Ed-boy! That is a rooster's cry!" Rolf called in an angered voice.
No one paid Rolf any mind however, as Ed was quickly released from his suspension and sent hurtling toward the ground. His landing was so powerful that it created a small shockwave, and resulted in a crater forming where he fell. One look into the crater showed that he landed on his stomach.
"It would appear Double D goes first. What would you like?" The Trivia Master asked.
Double D paused to think over his options for a second. He pondered which strategy to go with, and decided to try and play it easy for now. "I will take Creators 200."
The board changed to show the first question. "Kill la Kill was made by_ and _."
"Hmm," Double D placed a hand on his chin. "I admittedly know little about this show, but I do believe it was Trigger and Ryo Akizuki."
"Correct! Please choose your next question."
Double D smiled. "I will take Plot for 100."
"This anime tells the tale of a young boy who loves all sorts of games but is often bullied around. One day, he solves an ancient puzzle, causing his body to play host to a mysterious spirit with the personality of a gambler. From then on, whenever the young boy or his friends are threatened by those with darkness in their hearts, the spirit comes forth and challenges them to a dangerous game."
"Umm… Uh… Bakugan?" Double D guessed hesitantly.
"Incorrect! The question now passes to Eddy."
"The answer is Yu-Gi-Oh." Eddy smirked.
"Correct!"
'Let's kick this up a notch,' Eddy's smirk widened. "I'll take Characters for 400."
"This character's name means destruction of life, and his half-brother is a hanyo."
"Sesshomaru from Inuyasha," Eddy replied calmly. "Give me Music for 500."
The song played and Eddy made his decision after pondering it for a few seconds. "It's Revival of the Ancients from Blue Dragon."
"Correct!" Double D began to sweat, feeling pressure settle heavily on his shoulders.
"Let's hear Creators for 500."
"BlazBlue was created by _,_, and _"
"Ah…" Eddy hummed in thought, searching his memory for the right answer. "Toshimichi Mori, Yuki Kato Publisher, and...Gonzo Studios?"
"Incorrect! The question falls to Double D!"
"Toshimichi Mori, Yuki Kato Publisher, and Arc System Works." Double D breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that the season one finale of BlazBlue had been the last thing he had watched the previous night.
"Correct! Your next pick?"
"I will take Music for 300." 'I have to catch up with him, but I can't go straight for a 500 level question. I would be asking for defeat if I did that.'
The music played and, after a quick pause, Double D made his guess.
"Is it Goku's SSJ3 Theme from Dragon Ball Z?" Double D questioned.
"That's Right!"
The sock hatted boy showed his teeth. "Please give me Characters for 300."
"This character is an Ardent Catholic. He carries an obsession for what he believes to be his crusade, and compulsively quotes passages of the Holy Bible as he speaks."
Eddy heard this and smirked. 'No way the sockhead gets this one right! Come to Eddy, sweet victory.'
"Is it Father Anderson from Hellsing?" Double D asked as everyone else stared wide eyed at him.
"That is indeed the answer!"
Eddy's left eye twitched as his jaw hung low. 'How?!'
"I will have Plot for 500." Double D said with confidence.
Meanwhile in his crater, Ed was silently shouting at the sock hatted Edd. 'No! What are you doing?! You have him cornered you idiot! Don't throw it away!'
"This anime centers around a high school which is dominated by it's fearsome student council. It's students wear special uniforms which give their wearers superhuman abilities because they are constructed with a special material."
Double D had no clue "Tokyo Ghoul?" He offered hesitantly as all the cul-de-sac kids gaped at him. Suddenly, Ed jumped out of the crater and tried to punch Double D through the glass that was surrounding his podium.
Eddy was livid. "You are joking, right dobe? You know Hellsing but not Kill la Kill?"
"You are correct!" The Trivia Master interjected. Eddy blinked before the realization hit that he unintentionally answered the question.
"Good. Then I'll take Characters for 500."
"This character was a treasure hunter and a mage. This character is also dead, and left behind a son, grandson, and a great grandson. He was famous for being a member of a guild."
"Oh that's easy! It's Yuridreyar from Fairy Tail."
"Correct!" Double D felt his doom approaching.
"Plot for 400!"
"This anime follows the exploits of a fourteen year old solo adventurer who works hard every day in the dungeon to make ends meet while seeking to improve himself. He looks up to a famous and powerful swordswoman who once saved his life."
"I… uh… umm… Pass?" Everyone else in the room looked at Eddy in pure shock. They couldn't believe that he didn't know something about any anime. The short Ed blushed and looked down while poking his fingers together.
"Incorrect!"
"Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls from a Dungeon?" Double D offered, not realizing how his words sounded out of context.
"Wow dork, where did your morality go?" Kevin asked sarcastically. In response, all he got was a deadpan expression from the intellectual youth.
"That is correct!"
"Music for 400, please." Double D went for what he knew best, which would be music.
The music played, and Double D answered with a little difficulty when it came to enunciating it. "Goya no Machiawase from Noragami."
"Correct!" The Trivia Master nodded. "Though I would really work on pronouncing it better. The points still go to you for answering correctly." That earned a few laughs from the crowd, and a light blush from Double D.
"Creators for 100." He simply said once he managed to recover from his embarrassment.
"Familiar of Zero was made by _ and _."
"Eiji Usatsuka and Noboru Yamaguchi."
"Once again; Correct!"
"Then give me Music for 200, please." Double D felt his confidence skyrocketing by this point. 'I can do this! I am on the fast track to winning!'
The music played, and Eddy noticeably flinched when he heard it. He looked down, sad to hear it used against him. Double D ignored this as he answered.
"This Will Be the Day from RWBY." Though he had ignored Eddy seconds prior, Double D noticed Eddy glare at him for that, and couldn't help but smirk as he took satisfaction in answering a question about what he presumed was Eddy's favorite anime.
"That is Correct!"
It was around this point that Eddy began to worry a little. 'Sockhead's actually getting a lot of stuff right. I better hope he stops soon…'
"I will take Plot for 300." Double D didn't really have to think about that. He knew that wasn't the highest amount of points he could go for, but it was safer. In his mind, it was the best choice in this situation for him to try and play it safe.
"This anime is set fifteen years after a worldwide cataclysm, particularly in a futuristic fortified city. The protagonist is a teenage boy who was recruited by his father to a shadowy organization to pilot a giant bio-machine mecha."
The intelligent Edd didn't have to think very hard to figure that one out. "Neon Genesis Evangelion."
"That's right!"
"Go Double D! Kick Eddy's butt!" Ed cheered.
"What?!" Eddy gave a flabbergasted look. "Who's side are you on, Monobrow?"
"The side that wins." Ed answered with a smile.
The rest of Peach Creek stopped at that moment and shuddered. They all had to wonder if Ed had suddenly grown a brain, and how scary that thought would be. Soon after, the world continued, but would never be the same.
Double D shook himself off and shakily continued. "I...choose Plot for 200"
"This anime revolves around a fifteen year old boy, alongside his younger twin, who was raised by a man who fights demons. One day, this boy learns he and his twin are the children of Satan."
"That would be Blue Exorcist." Double D replied with disdain, earning him looks of contempt from Ed and Eddy both.
"Correct!"
"You know Blue Exorcist, but not Kill la Kill." Eddy grit his words through clenched teeth as he sent the sock hatted boy a heated glare. He was obviously not letting that earlier blunder go easily.
"All I know is that it involves scantily clad women, and I will not take part in such chauvinistic tendencies."
"You know Double D, if you look past all that the show is actually very entertaining and the plot is coherent and interesting," The world stopped again at the tall Ed's words, as all those present stared on in shock waiting for the impending death that surely must be approaching. "Butter toast!" And suddenly, as if it never came, the feeling of impending doom was gone.
"...I will take Characters for 100."
"This character comes from a clan known for their expansion techniques."
"Choji Akimichi." Double D grinned, feeling a touch overconfident as he saw his score raise to 3000 points.
"That is correct!"
"Music for 100 should suffice," The music played, and Eddy felt hope well up inside him as a shit eating grin grow on his face when he heard it. Double D paused, feeling uneasy as he realized he didn't know the answer. "Is it from...Black Butler?"
"Incorrect!"
"That would be Final Stride from Kill la Kill." Eddy answered in a heartbeat. He saw the look on Double D's face and couldn't help but laugh.
"Correct!"
'I have just ensured my own defeat, haven't I?' Double D asked himself with panic in his eyes. 'Let us hope it doesn't go to the tie breaker. If it does, then I am doomed.'
Eddy could see the panic in Double D's eyes, and loved it. It made him feel powerful to know that he had the advantage, even if the score said otherwise at that moment. He looked over his options, and smirked. "Gimmie Creators for 300."
"Ranma 1/2 was written by _"
"Rymiko Takahashi. And before you ask, I'll take Characters for 200."
"You are correct about Creators for 200, and the question is as follows; This character is a woman who abandoned her family and wanders the land, focusing only on her goals of defeating the darkness in their world."
"That," Eddy felt as if his smile would break his face. "Is Raven Branwen from RWBY, otherwise known as the mother of my favorite character from RWBY besides Blake Belladonna; Yang Xiao Long."
"Correct. I would ask what you want next, but there is only one question left. If you get it right, then we will go into the Tie Breaker Round. The last question is Creators for 400. Hellsing was written by _ and _"
"Kouta Hirano and Gonzo Studios." Eddy watched his score equal Double D's, putting them back on a level playing field. "Now tell me ya tin can, how does this Tie Breaker Round work?"
"All of the common populace will give you a question individually. The first to fail to answer will lose and be eliminated. The first to ask shall be both of your closest friend, Ed."
"My question is for Eddy," Ed said as he eyed the short scammer's headband. "What is the third Hokage's name?"
"Easy, Sarutobi Hiruzen."
"I shall ask the sock headed Ed-boy," Rolf said with a grin. "Who is stronger; Goku or Vegeta?"
"That is mostly contextual," Double D answered nervously. "However, in base form Vegeta as of Super is the stronger."
"All right Eddy," Sarah piped up. "Who is the goddess in charge of the sailors in Sailor Moon?"
"She's not technically a goddess, she is just named after one. But she is Queen Serenity who takes the place of Selene from Greek myth."
"Alright Double D, which My Hero Academia character can make things weightless?" Johnny asked with a smug grin.
"Ochako Uraraka."
"Um… Eddy," Jimmy hesitated for a second. "Who is better; Itachi or Aizen?"
"Well it's Aizen without a doubt because Humans can't see or interact with Shinigami. Itachi could easily be killed at any moment by his brother."
"I'm not much of an anime fan, but my question is for Double D," Nazz smiled politely at the sock hatted Edd. "Who was one of the co-founders of Konoha?"
"Madara Uchiha." Double D responded without having to think about it.
Kevin groaned as he got out of his seat. "I was kinda hoping one of you dorks would go down by now, but oh well. Dorky, name the anime based on a Cartoon Network show."
Eddy let out a small laugh. "Goin' easy on me, Shovel Chin? The answer is Powerpuff Girls Z: Demashita."
The Trivia Master surveyed the area and frowned. "It would appear that everyone has gone at least once. You are both still standing, meaning that the questions will go back to Ed."
Ed stepped forward and smiled at Double D. "I never thought you'd make it this far. You almost beat him, and would have if you knew Kill la Kill-."
"Would you please stop reminding me that I have little to no knowledge about that trite of a show?" Double D snapped in anger.
"What did you just say?!" Ed felt fury burn in him, and one could see it in his eyes. "I was going to give you a nice one, but no more! Now you suffer; Sockhead."
Double D winced at how harsh Ed's tone was, especially when he spat out Eddy's nickname for him. "O-okay…"
"Who voices Tieria Erde from Mobile Suit Gundam 00?" Ed knew that besides Kill la Kill, Gundam was the anime Double D had done the least research on. But the lump felt that his friend may have a chance of knowing, so it wasn't unfair to him.
"Um…" The brainy Edd felt his chances slipping away as he wracked his brain for any clue of the answer. "Was it...Eric Stuart?"
"WRONG!" Ed's shout nearly shook the planet as Double D shrank back in his place. "The answer is Sam Vincent!"
"...That name sounds oddly familiar." That was all Double D could mumble as he looked down in shame. He knew he had lost, and felt horrible for doing so. He was hardly a competitive person, but this was one situation where he was ruthlessly competitive.
Eddy leapt out of his seat and pumped his fist in the air. "Oh yeah baby! Eddy McRich for the win!" He did a little celebratory dance using moves that looked to be from the 1970s, stopping only when he saw the look on his intellectual friend's face. He debated something for a second before sighing. "Hey dobe?"
Double D looked up sorrowfully at his short friend. "Yes?"
"I'm a little impressed," Eddy admitted. "Ya had me on the ropes for awhile."
Double D blinked in confusion for a second before a small smile spread across his face. "Thank you, Eddy. I must admit that after all my research, I have found a respect for the art of anime."
"Does that mean you'll get into it?" Ed asked hopefully.
"Perhaps," Double D shrugged. "But for right now, I would like some rest. This competition ended up being much more stressful than I had anticipated."
"You and me both," Eddy agreed as he stretched and let out a loud yawn. "I'm beat. I think we'll take a day off from scams today, and maybe tomorrow too."
Both of his friends agreed with that idea. The trio separated, and each headed to their respective houses. Double D went into his home and collapsed only once he reached his bed. He thought over how things had gone that day, and felt oddly happy.
"I may have lost," Double D mused to himself as a smile began to form. "But at least I can say that I gave an honest effort, and was lucky enough not to lose a friendship over something so trivial."
'Good game Eddy. I must truly admit, you have given me a chance to learn and appreciate this art you call anime.' The sock hatted youth turned his gaze to the nearby window, and smiled as sleep began to take cover his vision with darkness.
Meanwhile:
Eddy walked into his bedroom and slipped into bed. He felt something against his shoulder, and smiled when he saw it was a small book. Pulling it out, he opened the book to find many hand-made drawings of anime characters. Suddenly, an idea came to him.
"Ya got my respect today Sockhead, so I'll do something for us all." Eddy picked up a pencil and a packet of colored pencils, then smirked as he flipped to an empty page. He started to draw three people, one on each page, in the style of three different anime worlds.
The first drawing was of a very tall boy with yellow skin, shaggy orange hair, and deep brown eyes. He had an athletic build, with firm arms and a defined torso. He wore a sleeveless white shirt, a dark green form-fitting jacket, purple jeans with a green and white belt, and a green mask which appeared to be made of taffy that covered the area surrounding his eyes. He also had a crown atop his head made entirely of different kinds of candy
This boy also wielded two large candy canes as if they were swords to hint toward the quirk his artist intended. That being the ability to create candy that the boy could use in any way he wanted. Under the completed drawing, Eddy wrote the name of CandyHero Ed;Jawbreaker.
Next, Eddy paused for a minute to think things over before grinning. Turning to the next page, he began to draw another boy.
This second boy was noticeably less tall than the first. He had a very pale complexion, a scrawny physique, and deep blue eyes. He wore a red shirt with a black coat and a black and red checkered tie. He also had dark grey gloves, dark grey combat boots, and a simple black hat which covered his hair.
Eddy paused for a minute as he looked over the nearly complete drawing with a thoughtful look on his face. "Somethin' is missin'." He mused as he looked over the design. A smirk crept onto his face as he realized what was needed. Carefully sketching the finishing piece onto the drawing, his smirk widened in satisfaction.
The drawing wasn't much different from before. The main difference was that the person was now depicted to be wielding a one handed longsword with a white blade and a silver grip that had a bluish tint. Beneath him, Eddy wrote out another name. Double D; The Dark Repulser.
Flipping to one more blank page, the hidden artist thought over the last design for a few minutes before a grin came to his lips. He busily drew the final of three boys; this one being the shortest of the three.
With an unimpressive height and physique, the final of the three stood with jet black hair that went to his neck, two very noticeable cat ears atop his head, and a cat tail around his waist. He had bright amber eyes and was shown to be smirking confidently.
This boy, or faunus rather, wore a black long-sleeve shirt, a dark purple choker around his neck with matching armbands, black pants with a golden wallet chain hanging from his pocket, and black shoes with purple laces. In his hands was an axe which appeared to be able to shift itself into a revolver of some sort.
After that, Eddy hummed in thought. "Hmm, Ed has a quirk, Sockhead has a weapon, and so do I. But since I'm drawing myself in RWBY, I need a semblance to go with it. What can I do?" A thought came to him, and smirked. "That'll work."
He went back to drawing, and when he was done the faunus now had a shadowy figure looming behind him. The shadow was differing shades of black which created a negative energy that intended to give off an aura of bad luck. Like the other two, a name was etched underneath this character. Eddy McScath; The Luck Faunus.
With all three drawings finished, Eddy went under his bed and pulled out a large piece of white poster paper. He went back to the book and carefully ripped out each picture. He got out some glue and placed the three portraits side-by-side with Candy Hero Ed at the far left, The Dark Repulser Double D in the middle, and The Luck Faunus Eddy at the far right.
Eddy gave a toothy smile as he looked over his handiwork. He then grabbed a red marker and wrote a message above the three drawings. The message read; Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy: Anime Style!
"The boys are gonna love this!" His grin widened as he placed his creation on his desk before going back to his bed and flopped down on his stomach. He let out a yawn as he stretched. "I'll show them my work tomorrow. Till then, I guess I oughta get some sleep."
With that, the short scammer went to sleep. Each of the three Eds had had a surprisingly good day.
The End…?
