Well, here's the 4th chapter of Big Ed. In this chapter, Nate finally tells Bella how he feels. But will it cost him his friendship with the Eds? Or one Ed in particular? And what will Bella think? Read to find out.
Nate was walking to the park. 'I'm gonna do it this time.' He thought to himself. 'I'm gonna tell her.' Today he was gonna tell Bella that he liked her. No more Mr. Shy Guy. He reached the park and saw Bella on the swings with the Eds watching. He hid behind a tree, watching secretively.
"Ok, jump!" Eddy told her. Bella jumped off the swing as it was at it's highest peak. She jumped really far and landed on all fours. Edd raced over to measure how far she had jumped. "It's a new record!" Edd exclaimed. "Who-hoo!" Bella said, jumping up.
"Nice one!" Eddy said, hugging Bella. "You jumped far!" Ed said, smiling. Bella smiled, but then frowned as she felt her chest. She felt around for her heart locket necklace. "Oh no," Bella said, seeing that the necklace wasn't there. "What's wrong?" Edd asked, concerned.
"My necklace is missing," Bella said, looking on the ground. "That's it?" Eddy said, confused about what all the panick was about. Bella glared at him. "My mother gave me that necklace," Bella hissed, "Right after she made me part cat." Edd kneeled on the ground with Bella.
"Oh," Eddy said, also kneeling down. "Ed! Help us look!" Bella instructed. Ed kneeled down and looked. Nate watched them, then saw something out of the corner of his eye. He looked and saw it was Bella's necklace. He picked it up and looked at Bella and the Eds.
He couldn't just stand up and give it to her. That would make it look like he was spying. He just put it on the edge of the bush and snuck away, stopping to hide behind the tree to make sure they found it. "I found it!" Bella cried happily, holding up the necklace.
She put the necklace on and smiled. "Good," Edd said, smiling. Suddenly, they heard a loud rumbling that shook the ground. Ed laughed and looked at his vibrating stomach. "I'm hungry," Ed laughed. "It is about lunch time," Edd said. "Pizza time!" Bella cried.
The Eds cheered and they all ran to Bella and Edd's house. But before they left, Bella looked around, a little worried. Almost like she was looking for something. Or someone. Nate's heart skipped a beat as he figured it out. She was worried about him. He watched as Bella ran off to her house.
When Bella was inside her house, Bella started making pizza dough, telling Edd to make the sauce. "Can we help?" Ed asked eagerly. "You're our guests," Bella said, spinning the dough on her finger, "You don't have to do anything." Eddy smiled and leaned back in his chair. "You heard her, Lumpy," Eddy said, "Lean back and enjoy the show."
Bella smiled at Eddy as she started spinning the dough, making it nice and flat. "Hey, have you guys seen Nate at all today?" Bella asked, once again worried. "No," Edd said, "Not at all this morning." Eddy shrugged. "So? He's probably sleeping in or something," He said, "That's what I'd do if you two didn't jump on me every morning."
"I keep telling them that it'll make you mad," Bella said, pouring the sauce on the pizza. "But jumping on Eddy when he is sleeping is fun!" Ed exclaimed. Bella rolled her eyes as she put the pizza in the oven and sat down. "Maybe for you!" Eddy snapped. Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Bella answered it to see Nate standing there. "About time you got here," Bella said, letting Nate inside. Nate sat down next to Bella, who sat down next to Eddy. "What took ya?" Eddy asked, "You sleep in or something?" Nate looked nervous. He didn't want them to know he was spying.
"Uh, yeah. I...slept in," Nate answered nervously. "Well, you're just in time for pizza," Edd said, "We just put it in the oven." Nate smiled. "Awesome!" he exclaimed, "Bella makes the best pizza I've ever tasted!" Bella blushed and smiled. Felice jumped on the table and sat down.
Edd looked at Felice nervously. She wasn't usually allowed on the table. "Felice! You know you're not allowed on the table!" Bella said, picking Felice up, "You can sit on my lap." Bella set Felice down on her lap and petted her. Felice meowed and rubbed her head against Bella's palm.
"She's really sweet," Bella assured Nate, who looked nervous, "She wouldn't hurt a fly. A fish, maybe, but not a fly." Bella laughed lightly at her joke. Nate laughed, too. But he wasn't nervous about Felice. How was he gonna tell Bella how he felt? This was not like it was with Jenny, his crush back where he used to live.
They talked for about 10 minutes before the oven dinged. (Ok, I have no idea how long pizza cooks for. I'm guessing 10 minutes, or around that.) "Pizza's ready," Bella said, standing up, causing Felice to jump onto Eddy's lap. Bella came back with the pizza and set it on the table.
"Be careful. It's very hot," Bella warned. (You see where this is going, right?) Eddy reached out for a piece. "I got it," He said, grabbing a piece. He snatched his hand back. "YEOCH!" Eddy yelled, holding his hand, Felice jumped off his lap and raced upstairs to Bella's room.
"Well, you can't say I didn't warn you, can you?" Bella said, giving Eddy an ice pack. Eddy grumbled as he took the ice pack. They let the pizza set for a few minutes before eating it. "This is the best pizza ever!" Nate said. Bella shook her head. "No. The best pizza ever, belongs to a restaurant back in Italy called Italy's Best," Bella explained.
"Well, this is pretty good," Eddy said. "Grazie," Bella said, taking a bite of her own slice. When they finished the pizza, they went outside, where the other kids of the cul-de-sac (Exclude Sarah, Nazz and Jimmy) were playing basketball. "Oh, sweet!" Nate exclaimed, "I'm the best at basketball."
"We'll see about that!" Eddy said, rushing forward. Nate and Ed followed, while Edd and Bella walked over to where Nazz, Sarah and Jimmy were sitting. "What did we miss?" Edd asked, sitting down with Bella. "Not much," Nazz answered, "They just started, like, two minutes ago."
Kevin said that they could start over, since they hadn't been playing for long. (Ok. FYI I know nothing about basketball, so forgive me if I get something wrong) While they were taking a break, Nate walked over to Kevin and sat down. "Hey, can you give me some advise?" Nate asked.
"Sure, dude," Kevin said, drinking some water, "What is it?" Nate once again looked nervous. "How do I tell a girl I like her?" He asked, lowering his voice, "I mean, you told Nazz, right?" Kevin nodded. "Yup," he said, "I guess you just tell her." Nate looked at Kevin. "That's it?"
"That's what I did," Kevin said. Nate thought for a minute. He didn't know if he should explain more. "Who's the girl, anyway?" Kevin asked, "Sometimes it has something to do with what they're like." Nate bit his lip. "Just a girl," He answered, "She's pretty nice and understanding."
"Well then, it should be pretty easy," Kevin said, "Nice girls aren't usually the type to laugh or be really rude." Nate smiled then looked at his feet. "One more thing," He said as Kevin took another sip of water, "What if she has a boyfriend?" Kevin did a spit take and wiped his mouth.
"Dude, depends on who the boyfriend is," Kevin said. "He's sorta mean sometimes," Nate said. Kevin shrugged. "That's your call, dude," He said, standing up. Nate sighed and stood up, too. "Thanks for the talk," Nate said. "Alright! The game's about to start again!" Kevin yelled.
"I have no idea what's going on, but good luck!" Bella told Eddy. As they watched, Bella got a text on her phone. She took it out to see a text written in Italian from her BFF, Emily. She had asked what was new. Bella told her about Nate moving to Peach Creek.
When the game was over, Bella, Nate and the Eds walked to the park. "I can't believe Nate's team won," Eddy growled. "I told you I'm the best!" Nate bragged. "That was fun!" Ed exclaimed. "It would have been if Nate's team hadn't won," Eddy grumbled. He was a poor sport sometimes.
"Don't hate the player. Hate the game," Bella said. Nate, Ed and Edd laughed. Bella sat on one swing and Nate sat on the other. Edd sat on the bench, looking around. Ed went down the slide, over and over again. Eddy sat on the bench next to Edd, pouting. "Eddy, quit being a grouch," Bella said.
"Easy for you to say," Eddy snapped, "You didn't lose." Bella started swinging and looked at Eddy. "Dude, I bet five bucks that you were gonna win," Bella said, "Don't tell me I didn't lose." Bella jumped off the swing, which was pretty high, and did a summersault, landing on all fours.
"Nice one, Bella!" Eddy said, cheering up. "I'd give it a 10!" Nate said. "Indeed!" Edd said. "Chicken!" Ed exclaimed. Everyone stared a him. "What?" Nate asked. "Chicken!" Ed repeated, pointing at the road, where there was a chicken. "It must be Rolf's," Bella said.
Felice ran over to the chicken, making it run away. Felice chased the chicken all over the cul-de-sac. "FELICE!" Bella yelled, chasing the cat. "CHICKEN!" Ed shouted, also chasing the chicken. "Ed!" Edd cried, chasing after Ed. "Help me catch Felice!" Bella cried.
Eddy ran after the small white cat. Nate shrugged and joined the chase, running after Felice with Bella and Eddy. Rolf appeared, apparently also chasing his chicken. "Come back here, Gertrude!" Rolf yelled after his chicken. Edd dropped on the ground, panting.
Ed grabbed the chicken and held it above his head. "Return Rolf's fowl!" Rolf yelled, taking his chicken back. Felice tried jumping up to get the chicken, but Bella grabbed her around her middle. "Gottcha!" Bella said, picking Felice up, "You are a very bad gatto!"
Nate and Eddy appeared next to them, panting. "Hello, three-haired-Ed-boy and spiky-haired-Nate-boy," Rolf said. "What up?" Nate panted. "Gertrude here has escaped Rolf's farm," Rolf explained. "Obviously," Eddy gasped. "Good-bye, now!" Rolf said, walking back to his farm.
Bella, Nate and the Eds walked to Edd and Bella's house and collapsed in the family room. "Oh mio Dio," Bella sighed, "That pollo is pazzo." Nate stared at Bella then looked at Edd. "Translation?" He asked. Edd thought for a minute. "That chicken is crazy," Edd said.
"Got that right," Eddy said, sitting up. "Chickens are fun!" Ed laughed. "E Felice e una cattiva gatto," Bella said in Italian, glaring at Felice. "Say what?" Nate asked. "I'm stumped," Edd admitted. "And Felice is a bad cat," Bella translated. She turned to Felice, "You know you're not allowed to chase Rolf's chickens."
Felice folded her ears back and curled into a ball. "Well, I think it's time for a little TV," Eddy said. Everyone agreed and Bella turned on the TV and put on Cartoon Network, where the show Ed, Edd, Bella n Eddy was playing. (Ed, Edd n Eddy with me in it)
Bella stared at the TV for a second before slamming the remote on the floor. "Biggest! Fourth wall brake! EVER!" Bella yelled. "So this is your TV show?" Nate asked, pointing. "Yup," Eddy answered, watching there past antics. The episode 'X Marks The Ed' was on.
"How come we ended last and this chapter with a fourth wall break?" Bella asked her real life counterpart. (Because I like them) "Yeah, well, there's something I have to say," Nate said, trying to change the subject. "Uno minuti," Bella said, turning to the screen, "STOP ENDING WITH FOURTH WALL BREAKS!"
(Hey! I can do whatever I want!) "Ok Nate. Go," Bella said, turning to Nate. Nate took a deep breath and said "I like you." Eddy looked surprised then mad as he yelled "WHAT?!"
And end! Boy, Eddy is ticked! I knew this would create some drama! But I still haven't shown how FanFic Bella would feel about it. (Bella: Uh...) Ok, now don't do that again! (Eddy: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! NATE LIKES MY GIRLFRIEND?!) Yup. And please no more extra appearances, per favore! (Bella: Sorry, just had to say :STOP ENDING IN FOURTH WALL BREAKS!) No! I like them! Now, goodbye! (Eddy: Wait! Let me show my response to Nate liking Bella. NO WAY IS HE GONNA HAVE HER!) We'll see about that. Now good-bye!
