Ed was just playing outside. Not a care to be seen. He was trying to make his friend Jib come down from the sky because Jib knew better than to fly around like that. "JIB COME DOWN HERE AT LEAST TAKE ME WITH YOU!" Jib decided he wanted to stay up there, the trees where too pretty to leave.
*RRRRIIIINNNNNGGG* "Fine but you gotta come down to get food." Ed said to the air. As he began walking to go play on the swings he saw Jib go up to play on the tower. Ed was about to yell at him about the height but than saw something else. There was someone up there Jib was pointing to. He didn't remember Jib having another friend but than Ed noticed it was a boy about his age. WOW, Ed thought how does a person get up that high? Maybe he could reach Jib? Ed decided to ask.
"HEY KID!" Ed screamed trying to get the others attention
"huh...?" the other boy said though he seemed startled "Ye...yes?"
"How did you get up there?"
"I don't remember"
"Oh..." Ed said in disappointment "Hey you think you can tell my friend Jib to come down he knows better than to be flying around like that." Maybe this kid could get Jib to come down.
"Umm ok….HEY JIB GET DOWN!" that boy screamed right into Jibs ear!
"WOW, he came down he NEVER listens to me like THAT! what's your name mister!" this kid was amazing!, Ed thought, Jib never listens to anyone but me but that's only when he wants to. Everyone makes fun of how Jib doesn't want to be seen by others but this kid, he believed me!
"I...I'm Eddy" he said though he sounded sad.
"Well Eddy my names Ed." Ed said taking a bow to add effect. "OH I can spell it too it's E...D!" most people would know this but he wanted to make sure the boy knew his name. Than Ed realized that this kid really was sad, wonder what happened? I mean he's on top of the world right now how can he be sad?
"Hey?...why do you seem sad?" Ed finally asked.
"I can't get down...so...I'm scared OK!"
"You don't like it up there?" Was he scared of heights?, Ed thought.
"NO I CAN'T GET DOWN!"
"So your scared because you can't get down?"
"YES!"
"Why?" What a weird thing to be scared of, Ed thought, Who would be scared of not being able to get down from something?
"Because I can't find a way out of this! get it?" the boy finally answered
"So your scared because you can't get out?"
"YES!" the other finally screamed growing irritated.
Ed supposed that was a reasonable fear, heck he was scared of soap!
"Well I could get you out! YEAH! promise I will!" Ed said trying to give him his best smile.
"Huh…y..yo…you will?...Really?"
"Well...yeah a hero always saves people and I wanna be a hero like on the t.v."
"Ok...well…how can you help?"
"Well you jump and I catch you."
"WHAT!" uh oh.. now he's getting scared again.
"Don't worry I'll catch you, promise!" Ed said fast trying to make the boy happier.
"Ok...but you have to promise some thing to me first ok?" the boy said
"Ok!"
"That if I jump you would be my friend? OH and that you won't ever tell anyone what I'm scared of!"
"UH..HUH! I PROMISE!" he said nodding his head up and down very fast. OH WOW!, Ed thought, HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A REAL FRIEND!
"and...that ... you won't ever let me get scared... again...please?"
"OK I PROMISE! Ed could do that ,easy, anything for a friend!
"o...oh ok I'll count to three and then I'll jump ok?"
"GOTTCHA!" Ed said he would have to make sure that his new friend didn't get hurt.
"..o..o..1" getting ready
"t..2" all set
"3!" Ok all lights green!
I GOT HIM!
Well Ed did catch his new friend Eddy but when he did Jib decided to trip him so they both fell down but Ed made sure that Eddy wouldn't fall over.
"I..I...I…I'm ALIVE!" Eddy said as he was lying on top of him.
"HAZZAH!" Ed shouted throwing his arms up which only ended up making him look like a cookie cutter for a gingerbread man.
"YOU DID IT ED!" Eddy said as he was getting up only to grab hold of Ed's arms and make him start spinning in circles.
"T…Thank...You!" Eddy said as he finally stopped to give Ed a huge hug. Ed could have sworn Eddy was crying a little.
"Well... what are friends for Eddy!" Ed said giving Eddy a huge grin.
"We better get to class bud." Eddy said
"Hmm I forget where it is Eddy."Ed never really knew where his class was.
"Ok then we better get you to class huh Ed?" Eddy said smiling.
"OK Eddy!" Ed said following him into the school.
Today's recess was the best Ed could ever remember! He had a new friend though Jib decided to take a vacation but now he could still be happy because he had Eddy. Ed swore he would keep his promise to Eddy no matter what because that's what friends do!
