Chapter 6: Something's Different

The week came to a speedy end for the Cal-de-sac. Each day that went by was peaceful, much to Edd's liking. As Thursday came to a close the Ed's met to discuss the upcoming party, which the whole neighborhood was excited for. Even with the peaceful mornings and quite afternoons Edd could still feel a hint of excitement in the air. The feeling made his chest all fuzzy, and his legs slightly weak with joyful uncertainty. "So Double D you ready for the party tomorrow night?" Eddy asked slouching on Eddward's couch. "I suppose though, I'm not sure what attire would be appropriate for the occasion." Edd replied before taking a bite of his apple slice, dipped in caramel.

"Just wear what ya normal would to a house party sock head. It's not rocket science." Eddy shrugged. Double D chuckled, "On the contrary Eddy rocket science can be just as easy as fashion preparations. So, I find that analogy quite incompatible." He explained looking at his shorter friend. Eddy just shook his head and chuckled, "Same old Double D."

Ed made it known to the two that he had nothing fancy to wear to the party, seeing as he grew out of his party clothes from last year. Edd suggested they go the mall and both Eds agreed to take Ed's truck this time into the city. After a few hours of browsing, trying on clothes and eating the three friends took their leave. Double D was dropped off at home and upon walking into the door his phone rang. He answered smiling, "Hello Nazz, how can I help you?" "Wow how'd ya know it was me Double D?" the blonde asked knowing she got a new number long after he left peach creek. "Eddy gave it to me," He lied.

During the first three days of his return, the young genius hacked into the satellite system that surveyed Peach Creek and received all information on everyone from the city to the small town. He kept his own surveillance program hidden in the cracks if the satellite's system.

"Oh ok cool! Well I sorta need your help with a few things for the party tomorrow night. My parents are making a big deal out of inviting friends from school, and I didn't make enough sweets for the extra people that are coming. I know this is last minute, but I, like really need your help. You think you could give me hand?" Her words were fast and she was slightly out of breath by the end of the sentence, but Edd caught every word and smiled. "I'd love to help Nazz. Shall I come over in the morning? How does 9 o'clock sound?" He asked and her voice smiled, "Thank you so much dude. 9 sounds great, I'll see you tomorrow. Night!" Edd nodded, "Goodnight Nazz."

The next morning, Edd woke up early to take a shower and straighten up his house. He checked all surveillance systems around the town and his house. Seeing no signs of activity from the previous night he made breakfast and texted Ed, and Eddy informing them of his morning plans. Both replied saying they had plans to get ready for the night as well and they would meet at his house at 7:30.

He got to Nazz's house a few minutes early and knocked on the door. A bubbly blonde opened the door and smiled at the raven haired teen. "Early as usual Double D," Nazz smiled letting him inside. "Of course," Edd smirked removing his shoes. He noticed it the first time he entered the house, removing ones shoes before entering was common to the girl's house hold. "The others are in the kitchen looking for new recipes," She explained as he followed her to the kitchen. Entering the room his feet touched blue and white square marble floor. The walls were a solid white with a blue stripe going through the center. Walking inside Edd saw Jimmy, Sarah, and Johnny crowded around a computer trying to pick out sweet treats to cook. "Hey Double D! Pull up a chair," Johnny smiled being the first to notice him. "Good morning Johnny, Jimmy, Sarah," He nodded and smiled to them all. "Hi ya Double D!" Sarah waved and glared at the computer screen frustration. "Good morning Double D," Jimmy smiled sweetly at him.

Nazz walked up behind him and said, "If you'd like an apron there on the wall near the fridge." "Thank you," Edd said taking a black and orange apron off the wall and putting it on. He made his way to the others and hovered over Jimmy and Sarah while standing next to Johnny. "Sarah and I made plenty of back up snakes for the new guest last night," Jimmy explained. "Now we're looking for something sweet to make for the party," Sarah chimed in. The group of teens spent an hour or so finding recipes online and shooting ideas. Double D sighed remembering a past situation similar to this one.

He cleared his throat, "I may have a suggestion. Seeing as your dealing with teenagers, adults, and more than likely children. I believe a quicker solution to our problem would be a series of cakes, three or four to be exact. They're very easy to make and if we each do one then they shall be ready by the time of the party." He explained the recipe for "Candy Crunch Cheesecake", and sent Johnny and Nazz off to the store while he, Jimmy and Sarah prepped for their return.

Three hours of mixing, crunched up rainbow bites size cookies, cream cheese, lemon juice and whipped cream had all four covered in sugar and sticky candy. Nazz plopped her head on the counter exhausted. "I, Cannot, believe we did all that in time," she groaned. Johnny leaned on the counter in the center of the room next to Nazz. "You sure they'll be done in time Double D," He asked side glancing at the teen that just finished washing his hands. "If we only take them out by the time dessert is called than yes. Any time sooner and the pies may not harden completely."

"Don't question Double D Johnny, if there's one of the many things he knows it's cooking," Jimmy replied tiredly from across the room. Both he and Sarah were slouching on the couch half awake. This made them all laugh lightly, when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," Johnny stated standing up and walking to the door.

"Hey, Nazz its Kevin and Nathan," Johnny stated after opening the door. "Dude, what are you doing here?" Kevin asked with an arched eyebrow. "Helping Nazz prepare food for the party," He stated plopping on the couch next to Sarah and Jimmy. "What you guys were cooking at you didn't tell me?" Nat said dramatically walking in. He spotted Double D and gasped, "And you did it Double Delicious too?! Nazz you are so not my BFF anymore!" Nat whine cupping his face in shock.

Nazz just giggled at waved the boy off, while Double D finished cleaning the island countertop that she sat at. He wiped is hands and hung his apron back on the wall. "Afternoon, Nat I take it you like to cook?" He smiled leaning on back on the counter. "Nah, but I love to eat, and I'm an excellent taste tester. If I do say so myself," He smiled noting the sexual joke that he could've used. Eddward crossed his arms and smirked at the teal haired teen, "Ah! Then I'm quite certain that's why you weren't informed of our plans. There's a time and place for oral talents, unfortunately for you, your talents weren't needed."

Nat and Kevin stared surprised at the other male, while Nazz and Johnny laughed. "I never thought I'd see the day someone could shut up Nat," Johnny laughed hold a fist to his lips. "With sex joke no less," Nazz covered her mouth laughing as well. "Have I accomplished something worth celebrating," Eddward arched an eyebrow and pushed himself up off the counter. He placed the tips of his fingers to Nat's chin, and pushed it closed. He smirked again, "Flies may find a new home in there. Wouldn't want to miss up those tasting talents." He walked past the still shocked, silent teens and headed to the door.

As Nazz finally came down from her second laughing fit she looked at Double D and asked, "You leaving dude?" He nodded putting on his shoes, "As much as I'd like to stay, I still feel as if I've been soaked in a jar cotton candy. That being said I am in much need of a shower." Nazz nodded, "I hear ya dude. See ya at the party." Johnny stretched and stood himself, "Yeah I think I'm goanna head out too. Want me to take these two?" He motioned to a sleep Sarah and Jimmy. The blonde shook her head, "Their goanna help me set up later, let'em rest. See you guys tonight." "See you later," Johnny smiled following behind Edd as they both left the house.

Nat finally opened his mouth again and looked to the door. "I think I'm in love," He sighed. Kevin mushed his face out of the way to get in the kitchen. "Don't even think about it," He warned his best friend. "Hey if you don't make a move I will. You didn't tell me he had sexy side! You sure this the same guy you been telling me about for the past four years?" Nat asked sitting next to Nazz. Kevin poured himself a glass of water and took a few gulps. He paused at his friends words, thinking them over.

As afternoon turned to evening the End of Summer party finally began. Edd could hear the music booming from the house a few feet away from his own, while he locked down the house. His doorbell rang, as he finished rolling up the sleeves of his dress shirt, he walked down stairs. Upon answering the door he was greeted by Eddy dressed a gray blazer with, a red button down shirt. The undershirts collar was popped up and matched his clean pressed, black and red striped pants. The outfit was kept casual with black sneakers her wore.

"Yo sockhead you ready?" He asked pulling down his golden rimmed shades to look at Double D. The genius smirked at him with arched eyebrow. "Eddy it's nearly dark are shades really necessary?" He asked with a placed on his hip. "They bring the outfit together Double D," Eddy defended. Eddward rolled his eyes and shook his head, " Whatever you say Eddy."

"I look snazzy Double D!" Ed shouted happy arms spread to show off his outfit, that Edd constructed. Dressed in a dark green and black striped undershirt, with a loosely buttoned black collared vest over it. His pants were a faded, dingy, gray and ripped up at the pockets and left knee. The outfit was complete with a pair of steel toed, ankle boots, that zipped up with pockets on the back. Eddward nodded at the loveable oaf, "Yes you do Ed," he smiled proud of the outfit he picked out for his friend.

The three made their way to Nazz's house and Eddward rang the doorbell to the blonde's house, for the third time that week. The Eds were greeted with a smiling Nazz wearing the outfit Edd had given her. Eddy stared wide eyes and jaw dropped at the outfit on his childhood crush. The shorts fit perfectly on her hips and the shirt hugged her waist, emphasizing her hour glass body and chest. Edd pushed his friend's mouth up to close it, and smiled at Nazz. "Salutations Nazz I see you're enjoying my gift. It looks as breathtaking on you as I thought it would." He spoke while walking inside before his friends. The house was filled with teens, adults and children of the neighborhood.

"You were lying when you said weren't a fashion expert weren't you?" Nazz smirked at the genius. "Why I most certainly was not. I simply found the outfit to be more of your style," Double D replied with a sly smile of his own. She laughed, "Well you'd be right. I've been getting nothing but complements tonight, man. Even my parents thought it was cute, but still "proper". I mean who says that?" She asked arching an eyebrow at the male.

Double D chuckled, "I believe that is a suitable term to use. I thought it would be quite unfortunate if you weren't able to wear it, due to disapproval of your parents. However, I do recommend that if you wear it separately, you make sure the substitute attire is very fitting material." Nazz arched eyebrow at him, "Why?" He smiled sweetly, "The texture wouldn't match and therefor throw off the style of the outfit." She stared at the male in silence for a moment, than laugh slapping his shoulder. "You are a fashion fan!" She smiled and he simply laughed at her excitement. A loud crash was heard from living room, followed by a male voice shouting, "Oh shit!"

Nazz's father was heard in seconds, "If you punks break any of my things, not only will I make you pay for it, I'll have your sorry ass burning from three months of suicides, before and after practice!" Ed rushing into the living room to help his teammates shouting, "I Don't like Suicides Eddy! They make it hard to use the little Eds room!" Eddy frowned, "Why the hell are you tellin me? He ain't my coach!" The blonde's dad was heard again, "THAT GOES FOR ALL TEAMS!" Eddy's eyes widened being on the soccer team he knew his coach would follow that order. "Shit! Come on lumpy! Be back in a sec guys!" He shouted leaving, Nazz and Eddward covering their months to hide laughter.

After a while of laughing the two had calmed down, and decided to set out the pies. Nazz offered him something to drink and they soon found themselves in the mist of conversation. "Those pie you thought of turn out great!" Nazz complement and Edd nodded, "I noticed, Johnny and his father have been eying them since we put them out".

Kevin came rushing into the kitchen slightly out of breath. "I finally got_ away," he said breathless leaning on the wall. Nat fallowed him shortly laughing his ass off. "Wow, Mr. Popular has finally returned. Well your too late Double D has quickly taken your place," Nazz said smiling with her nose in the air. "Like_ Hell_ he_ did_" Kevin replied in huffs. Nazz waved him off saying, "Threaten after you catch your breath babe." Edd smiled at them with an arched eyebrow, "What were you running from," He asked. "Fuckin_ teammates_ and cheerleaders," He said finally catching his breath better. "Yeah school hasn't even started and their already kissing his ass," Nat snickered earning a shove from the red head. "Well, I'm glad you weren't harmed in the praising of your social status," Eddward smiled offering him a cup of water.

Kevin took it and gulped it down, quickly thanking him. "Your dad's doing it too," Nat stated looking at Nazz. "He bitched at everyone but Kev, and myself," He bowed smiling. "Why weren't you busted," Nazz asked crossing her arms. "See I was too busy admiring all the lovely ass of the neighborhood," Nat shrugged and Nazz just laughed shaking her head. "And speaking as ass admiring, I must say Double D you are looking extra delicious this evening." Nat stood a few inches from Eddward, while the male simply rolled his eyes and smirked.

A strong hand was felt of top of Nat's head, the grip was tight. "The guys aren't the only ass kissers I've seen tonight," Kevin grumbled pulling Nat back and out of the way. He took a seat between Nazz and Edd. "Oh come on you gotta admit he's looking pretty hot, Nazz back me up here," Nat chortled leaning on the counter beside Nazz. The blonde gave him side glance, giggling, "I gotta admit Double D you left and came back ten times more amazing! I mean you were always pretty amazing with your brain, but now your social skills are like way different. You even dress different," She noted pointing to his current outfit.

Eddward wore a purple elbow length shirt, which hugged his body, under a black and white striped dress shirt. The sleeves to the shirt were rolled up a few inches past his elbow. His pants were skinny jean with patches of purple leather, going down each side. The outfit ending at a pair of black high tops boots, bent back and laced together. Kevin observed Edd from a side glance, appearing as if he had no real interest. He wouldn't say it out loud, but the dork did look pretty hot.

He quickly glanced away as Double D's eye almost met his. "I don't see much of a change. Still the same Double Dweeb from middle school," Kevin grumbled finishing off his water. The raven haired teen chuckled, "Thank you. I do suppose I've changed a bit, though I'll always enjoy dressing for success, they can become rather constricting. However, I must agree with Kevin, I haven't changed much in my time away." Nazz arched an eyebrow at the male, "I don't know man you seem pretty different to me." Nat smirked, "I like different." "I'm sure you do," Eddward laughed. The moment was soon interrupted by a ringing sound. Edd glanced at his pocket and pulled out his phone. He stood up and nodded to his friends, "If you'll excuse me," and headed out the door.

Kevin and the others watched him leave, in silence. Nazz and Nat shared a glance and looked at the back of Kevin's head, as the red head looked at the boy go. Nat gave a long drown out sigh, making Kevin's head snap back towards them and act as if he'd done nothing. "So are gonna stare longingly at him from afar forever or can I be his prince charming and kiss him?" Nat looked at him questioningly. Kevin frowned and smacked his teeth, "Shut it Goldberg." He turned away from the two leaning his head into the palm of his hand.

Nat shrugged and smiled, "I'm gonna take that as a yes." He gave Kevin a large grin walking away into living room. Nazz stood and swayed over to her best friend. "Ya know he's right, right?" She chimed, but the red head didn't respond. She smoothly locked their arms together and leaning into his face smiling eagerly. "Go talk to him!" She encouraged, Kevin sighed and dropped his tough guy wall. "What am I supposed to say?! Hey Dork, I've had the hots for you since ya left. I know I use to bully you and shit, but we look past that right? Let's fuck!" He looked at her after ranting, only to see her giving him the "really?" look.

He frowned, "No," and turned back to look into the dancing bodies in the living room. Nazz sighed and rubbed his arm soothingly, "You felt guilty for two years about never telling him your feelings. And now that he's finally back you've got a chance to act on them"! "I also spent the last three years getting over those feelings. You think because he came back, and if I tell him means it's gonna just work out?!" Kevin retorted looking at the blonde. "Besides, I've had relationships, to know that I'm over him. Plenty that the dork probably wouldn't even compare too," He stated with false pride.

Nazz scoffed and crossed her arms, "Kev you've had back up bitches. To which none could compare to what you apparently want with Double D. Seeing as your still single". "I'm dating Kristy!" He retorted, she frowned. "The same Kristy you haven't talk to all summer?" This silenced the red head into submission. He sighed, "What if he leaves again"? He noted and Nazz was silent.

She looked at him with caring eyes, than gave a sad smile and ruffled his hat. "Good question Kev. What if he never comes back? You'll have missed out two chance to possible tell him how you feel." She spoke those words softly before walking away to the party.

Kevin Barr was many things, an excellent football player, a lady and man killer (especially in bed), and a loyal friend, when you earned his friendship. But he was also not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. Double D was back and gods only knows for how long, he wasn't about to miss this chance asking "what if?" He knew how that felt already and knew the fear of rejection wasn't worth going back to it. Standing up Kevin straightened his blazer hoodie and red hat; he threw his plastic cup and away and made his way outside. When he opened the door and walked out he didn't notice the teal haired boy standing beside the door smiling knowingly.

The air outside was warm, but a light breeze help cool all those who walked the streets. The Cal-de-sac was pretty dead minus the house behind him he looked around the lawn to seeing almost no one, but spotted the patch of purple that was Eddward's jeans. He was standing across the street on the side walk, away from all the noise. He was holding the phone with one hand, and crossed his other arm around his body. Kevin stayed quiet as to not disturb the boy's conversation, unable to hear it.

"I can't give you permission to do that sir. You're asking me to possible blow my cover and endanger the innocent lives of my home!" Eddward whispered harshly into the phone. Kevin arched an eyebrow at Double D's frustrated sigh. Edd held the brim of his nose and closed his eyes tight, "….Yes sir. I know sir. Yes, yes, I'll see what I can do." He groaned, "Thank you sir," and hung the phone up. Upon doing so he heard the sound of a figure behind him. Not turning around he pulled his right arm across his body, and grabbed the figure's arm, yanking him forward. He used his left arm to grab the taller person's left arm and push it behind his back. Kicking the back of his legs, put the possible attacker on his knees. To determine they stayed that way Eddward jabbed the index finger and thumb of his right hand between the persons neck.

This put compression on the pressure points and kept the body steal until Double D's release. "Ah! Dude, dude, Dude!? The fuck are you doing?!" The figure shouted in pain. Eddward blinked in confusion seeing the red hair of Kevin. He immediately released the teen, who got up in a fluster. "Kevin? I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know that was you." Eddward stated in concern, worried he may have scared the teen or worse angered him. Kevin stood up, grabbing his hat and rubbing the back of his neck.

He glared at Double D, who stared with weary and worried eyes. He winced at the leftover pain in his body, and looked at his hand to see if there was any real damage. "It's fine… You aren't harmed I assure you," Eddward spoke up. His voice was still weary, but his eyes now expressed honesty and truth. "When the hell did you learn to do that," Kevin asked rubbing the back of his neck again, before putting on his hat. "Oh, just something a few self-defense classes taught me. Mother and father made it a point to make sure I could stay protected during our travels even when alone." Eddward shrugged the words off, feeling as if part of his statement was a lie.

Truth be told the teen new up twenty different mix martial arts, but most were too deadly to use on anyone that he wasn't going to kill or incarcerate. "Well remind me to not get on your bad side, or ever surprise you again," The red head chuckled. Eddward chuckled himself waving his finger, "Ah I assure you I'm only allowed to use them when they are need most. I'm still no stranger to running when fighting can be avoided." Kevin laughed shaking his head, "Same old Double dork," Eddward gave a soft laugh at the much missed nickname. Silence consume their surrounded as Kevin searched for the words to say to the genius. However Edd beat him to the punch, "I do hope me leaving didn't cause any disturbance in the festivities." It took a moment for the words to process to Kevin as he blinked at the shorter male. "What? Oh no! I mean, nah we were just… ya know. Well Nazz and I were… worried something might have happened. You looked kinda pissed when I walked out here and I just came to_" He cleared his throat. "Ya know check on you. So is everything… cool?" He asked looked up and down.

The words made the raven haired boy remember the orders he was just given and held in his urge to curse. He simply gave a soft, flustered sigh and a smile. "Yes, everything is fine. I've just got something extra to take care of, is all," Eddward stated rolling his eyes and shrugged. "Ah I get it. That your dad you were talking too?" Kevin asked bluntly, Eddward chuckled, "More like an uncle, really." Kevin took note of the awkward way Double D replied, unfortunately his own reply did not help to ease the uncomfortable mode. "Hmm cool, I guess… well you… uh wanna head back in? The parties just getting good, and beside we still gotta have our friendship list challenge." Eddward sighed once again, "I would love too, but I'm afraid my "uncles" instructions cannot wait. I'll have to head home early, much to my dismay. But please tell Nazz I truly did enjoy her and Nat's company and if it's not too much to ask please inform Ed and Eddy of my current conditions and reasoning behind my leaving." He requested with a smile. Kevin did well to hide the disappointment on his face, but not in his voice. "Uhm sure. Yeah I can do that. Nazz isn't gonna be happy, but I'll break the news to her," He chuckled, Edd did the same covering his mouth lightly. "Thank you," He nodded and Kevin returned the gesture, "I guess I'll see ya around dork." He began to make his way back to party and Double D headed home.

The genius stopped and glanced at the red head, seeing his posture from behind made the male smile. "Oh and Kevin I'd still like to have our little friendship tally. Would it be rude to reschedule?" He asked kindly now turning back to face the other male. Kevin was surprised and secretly overjoyed to say the least that; Edd remember and still wanted to the hang out with him. He was at a loss of words for a moment, and began strutting a reply with a dumb smile. "Yeah. I mean, yeah sure we can still do that. I don't mind," He shrugged putting his hands in his pocket. Edd smiled, "Excellent. I look forward to beating you." Kevin smirked with a cocky smile, "Ya know that smart ass mouth is gonna get you in trouble dweeb," He warned and Edd laughed. "Your words ring truth. But I'd still like to have it, name the time and place I'll be sure to be there," He smirked.

Kevin nodded with a smile, "You got it dork." "Lovely, goodnight Kevin. Do enjoy the party and please do well to get home safely." Eddward waved taking his leave to his house. "Night dork," Kevin waved calmly watching him go. Once the teen was back in his house the red head smiled luckily to himself and headed back to the party.

So what ya think? Interested in the phone call? Yeah me too lol! Ah awkward Kevin is the cutest and I think I'm starting to fall in love with Johnny, not sure why but he seems to be playing an actual role in the story unlike so many others I've read.
