Chapter 4: Something Different, Something New
Eddward left his two friends at his house, so Eddy could sleep and Ed could enjoy his comics. He tried his neighbor across the street first, but knocked on his door to find that he was not home. He then took to the house next to him which was Johnny. He patiently rung to the doorbell and waiting for the male to answer the door. To say he was a bit surprise was a slight understatement, for when Johnny did open the door; the boy towered over him. Not as much as Ed, but he estimated the teen to be at least 5'7 or 5'8. "Holy cow! Double D is that you?! When did you get back in town?" The brown skinned male smiled brightly at the short male.
"Good morning Johnny, I recently returned yesterday afternoon. I hope I'm not intruding on anything," He give a soft smile. "No way! I was just finishing a call with my therapist, so my day is official clear," Johnny said grabbing his cell and walking out of his house. "Oh dear, I don't want to interrupt you at such a moment. If you wish I could come back later," Eddward said backing up and stumbling on the last step; he would have fallen if Johnny had not caught him by his shirt sleeve. "Gotcha!" He chuckled pulling him to his feet. "Gotta watch that last step it's always been tricky. And relax the call is over so I'm free, plus I haven't seen you in like 50 years Double D. I'm not goanna just turn you away. How ya been? What brings ya by here?" He asked standing outside his house with the boy. He had yet to notice the yellow bag in his hand behind his back. "It's only been 5 years Johnny. I have been quite well lately. My traveling was enjoyable though I truly did miss the Cal-de- sac and my dear friends." He smiled sweetly at the fact of being back home.
"I bet, speaking of which where are the other Ed's?" He asked looking around. "They woke up rather early this morning for us to have breakfast together; I left them at my home to rest." He explained and Johnny nodded understanding. "And what brings me here is to, well inform you of my return and to give you this." He handed him a green bag that was in the larger yellow bag. "Wow, You didn't have to bring me anything back Double D," Johnny smiled reaching into the bag and pulling out a pair of blue and black Hawaiian patterned shorts and matching sandals.
"I know, but I felt a need to do so, to show how I have missed you all. However, I was very surprised you'd noticed my time span of absents Johnny," Eddward said looking up at him. "What do ya mean? You and other Ed's may be a hassle sometimes, but we knew you guys as inseparable and just seeing you go like that really did a number on everyone. How'd you know my size Double D?" Johnny asked with a slight smirk. The black haired male blushed quickly looking away, "Oh well. With all of the schemes my companions and I have pulled in the past the subject was brought up and I simply memorized it as I have done for everyone in the Cul-de-Sac."
Johnny laughed at how nervous the guy was and it reminded him that even with his nervous quarks and motherly way of thinking, he saw him as a big brother when they were younger. But now seeing how tall he was compared to him, he now felt like the big brother. He ruffed his hat playfully and said, "Welcome home Double D," with a smile. Eddward held tightly to his hat startled by the sign of affection and also to hide his red face. He began to calm himself when Johnny stepped down from his porch step and started walking away. "I gotta head to the store and get a few things, thank again for the gift Double D. I'll catch ya later," He grinned, waving at him while walking backwards. It snapped Double D back to reality as he quickly retorted with a wave and said, "Oh_ and, a, a good day to you to Johnny!" The teen chuckled keeping his bag in hand walking down the street, leaving the boy.
Eddward then took to visiting Ed's house, knowing the boy would be to wrapped up in his own present to deliver his sister's he decided to do it personally. First he tried ringing the doorbell, than knocking on the door, and doorbell one more time. The teen sighed prepared to give up and leave, when the door opened. A loud voice shouting making his ears ring, "STOP RINGING THE DOOR BELL ED! MOM SAID TELL SOMEONE BEFORE YOU LEAVE!" Edd winced and covered his ear and closing his eyes. He slightly opened on to see Sarah standing in the doorway with Jimmy behind her. "Sarah… I don't think its Ed," Jimmy said calming the girl down. Eddward cleared his throat and tried to stop the ringing in his ear. He spoke politely, "Yes, it is only me, but if I'm intruding_"
The boy's beanie nearly fell off when he was tackled to the ground by the two pre-teens shouting, "Double D!" "Um Hello there you two. I'm assuming you've noticed my absents as well?" he asked getting his baring of what just happened. "Of course we did silly. We thought you weren't coming back," Jimmy said sitting up to look at the boy. "We thought you left us with my stupid brother and that jerk Eddy forever," Sarah exclaimed sitting up as well. This gave the teen a chance to sit up on one elbows and rub the back of his head. He smiled weakly and chuckled in surprise, "My, I never would've guessed you two would rely so much on my presence."
"Of course we do! Who else keeps those two knuckleheads tamed," Sarah exclaimed and Jimmy nodded. Eddward couldn't hold his laughter at the words, "Me? Keep them tamed? Well I must admit if that was the task I was given I have certain done a poor job at it." The two younger teens were silenced at the sight of the boy. It only took a while for the teen to calm down and register their silent stares. "Is something wrong?" He asked arching an eyebrow. Sarah and Jimmy rolled off him and sat on their knees, continuing to stare at the boy. "Double D. Your gap is almost gone," Jimmy said knowing this meant the male had, worn braces while he was way. Double D loosely covered his mouth at the statement. He smiled, "Yes you are correct. Upon me leaving the Cal-de-Sac my parents suggests I take advantage of braces and so I did for two years. It truly did wonders." Jimmy and Sarah nodded agreeing with him.
"And speaking of wonders, I've come here today not only to tell you I am back, but to also give you these," He stated handing them each a separate bag. A pink for Sarah and sky blue bag for Jimmy. Both children became over joyed at the sight of the presents. Jimmy opened is to see a blue and purple cashmere scarf, Sarah opened her to find a pink and yellow one. Both 15 year olds squealed and hugged the expensive fabric lovingly. Eddward smiled at the sight, "They were custom made… in France," he noted with a slight shrug. He was ready this time when to boy and girl attacked him with love. He couldn't hide the blush on his cheeks at the sign of affection. Seeing as the only hug he's ever received in Peachcreek was from Ed, this feeling was very strange and new to him. It took him awhile to hug to the two back, but he did and enjoyed it more than he expected.
When the moment was over his face was still warm but the blushing had gone down. "Thank you Double D," Jimmy beamed bouncing on his heels. "We can't wait till winter to wear them," Sarah said looking at the scarf. "Well their preferred for the fall, so you'll be able to wear them much sooner," Edd replied with smile. The two gave a happy gasp and light squeal making Double D laugh softly. "You two truly are adorable. You'll be beginning your freshmen year in the fall right?" He asked gaining their attention again. "Oh yes! And you'll be a junior right?" Sarah asked looking up at him. "What made you come back for your senior year Double D?" Jimmy asked beside the strawberry blonde. "Oh well, I'll be going to college overseas, two years from now to be exact. Seeing as I missed majority of my high school life my parents allowed me to spend my last, childhood with my friends. After some begging that is," He explained the last party rolling his eyes and a lop sided smirk. "That was nice of them," Jimmy smiled. "Sucks you won't be here when we're seniors," Sarah huffed and Double D chuckled. "I'm sure you'll have made your own path by than Sarah. I doubt my presence will have much effect on the enjoyment of your high school experience," He explained with a loving smile. He's right Sarah! We'll be total superstars by then, no need to worry," Jimmy smiled confidently making the three burst into laughter. Double D said his goodbyes after the three calmed down, Jimmy and Sarah gave him one more hug and let him go.
Walking to Rolf's house was the next task on the boy's list. He didn't waste his time knocking on the door knowing that the foreign teen was working in his backyard. He did however take the time to knock on the fence, and make himself known to him. Rolf heard the knock with ease and looked up see Double D smiling kindly at the teen.
His face expressed a mixture of shock and surprise at the sight of the male. "Double D Ed boy? Is this the heat deceiving Rolf's eyes?" He asked wiping sweat from his face with the back of his arm. Eddward chuckled holding the bag behind his back, "No Rolf it's me in the flesh." "Welcome back Ed boy! The other Ed boys said you return was not to come. I am glad to see they were once again wrong," He smiled letting him inside the gate. "Thank you. I've been receiving a lot of kind welcome homes from a lot of our friends." He explained looking around the well-kept farm and back at the farmer. "You have visited others of the Cul- da- sac yes?" The tanned teen smiled and Double D nodded. "What brings you to the son of a shepherd's doorstep," He asked walking past him to the shed in his farm.
Edd looked at the shed, as he walked in remembering when Ed lived in the small hunt for a moment during their childhood. "Well to welcome myself back into the Cul- de- sac for one and bring you a small present from my time away," He explained as Rolf exited the shed with white tank top on. He contain his small urge to tell him a shower is preferred before putting any form of clean clothing on, and held out the gold and red striped bag. "A present for Rolf? Thank you Double D Ed boy, Rolf return the favor. Would you like a chicken?" He said picking one of the chickens that pecked at their feet. He held it by its feet while the remaining birds flocked away in fear. Eddward laughed uneasily waving his hand, "No, but thank you Rolf. The present is a merely a gift to give a fellow neighbor, no reward in return is needed. Though I do hope you like it," He smiled. The blue haired teen put the terrified chicken down and it ran away. He removed his grime covered gloves and reached into the bag.
The blue haired teen pulled out what looked like a cowboy hat, a new pair of gloves and a belt with a bottle in its holder connected to the side. "It's for your farming work. I know the heat can be unbearable at times with all the work you do, so I assessed that a thermal adapting hat, and gloves would assist you greatly," He explained as Rolf silently put on the hat instantly felt cooler. "This is truly a great gift delicate Ed boy. Rolf will treasure it for many years," He said giving a relaxed smile from the refreshing cool hat. Eddward smiled happy as his expression and words. "Thank you Rolf. I'm glad you like it. However, I do ask that you please take shower before putting on the gloves though," He smile weary of his words to not upset the foreigner. Rolf simply chuckled and nodded, "But of course Double D Ed boy." The two shared a soft fit of laughter and later promised to talk of his journey around the world, and Eddward took his leave to let the boy work.
The last stop on the teen's list of neighbors was Nazz. She and Kevin were the only two members of the Cal-de-sac to not receive their gifts. Eddward made his way to the blondes house; assuming that Kevin was also there considering he wasn't at home.
SO... That's the introduction for the Cal-da-sac kids. Hope you liked them and I'm sure all of you are looking forward to Double D and Kevin meeting. I am too really lol
