Chapter 4: Walking Home From School, Nya!
It was now almost the end of the day here at Peach Creek Jr. High as we came to a classroom. Here, we see a few students staring down at the clock; Eddy and Corina, in particular. They both had the most intense stares at the clock on the wall; they couldn't wait to get out of this place!
Rrriiinnnggg!!!
"Woo-Hoo!" they both cheered when the clock struck three. They (AN: And everyone else) gawked at what they just done; they had both done the same thing simultaneously!
Eddy flushed a bright red while Corina coughed in embarrassment at her actions. Kevin seemed to smirk at this little awkward event between the two.
Soon everyone was dismissed to leave the classroom as almost everyone hurried up and left the room. The only ones who took their time were Double D and Bridget. They both soon gathered up their materials and left the classroom. They were waited on by Ed and Eddy (AN: For Double D), and Ichigo, Corina, Kikki, and Renée (AN: For Bridget).
"Geez, took ya long enough," Eddy started to say to Double D, "Let's hurry up before we miss the bus!"
Soon everyone (AN: Even the five girls) started running towards the front of the school. They had to get on the bus now; and fast! And when they finally got to the bus's location…
"Dangit!" Eddy shouted with anger as everyone saw the bus going down the street, away from them and towards the Cul-De-Sac, "We missed it!"
"… It's alright Eddy," Double D said with a sigh, "We'll just walk home."
"We'll also walk home," Ichigo stated while the others looked at her with a little surprise, "Our neighborhood is not too far away from here; we all live in the Peach Creek Estates."
"Really?" said Ed, "We live in the Cul-De-Sac!"
"Really…?"Renée questioned, "If I remember correctly, that's on the way to our neighborhood."
"Say, why don't we all walk home together?" Ichigo asked, making a little sly smirk towards Bridget, "That way, if something happens along the way home, we can help each other out, alright?"
"That's fine with me," Double D said with a nod of his head, "There have been reports of disappearances along this road, so it would be wise to travel in a big group."
Eddy seemed to tense up a little when Double D stated that; they were all traveling? Together?! This was also the same thought that was running through Bridget's mind.
"Great!" Kikki said with a chirp, "Let's go home!"
Soon all of them started to walk down the street towards their two neighborhoods of the Cul-De-Sac and Estates…
(About Ten Minutes Later…)
The three Ed's and the five Mews could then see the Cul-De-Sac in the distance as they continued to walk towards their neighborhoods. They were also all getting to know each other more. And it seemed as if Bridget opened up to them all as they walked. This was also the same for Eddy, who was now more comfortable than he was before. They all finally arrived to the bus stop of the Cul-De-Sac.
"Well, I guess we part here for now," Double D said as he and the other two Ed's turned to the five girls.
"Yes, I guess we must…" Bridget muttered a little.
"So, we'll see you all tomorrow at school," Eddy stated, "Right?"
"Of course," Corina said as the five girls then started to walk towards their neighborhood, "Bye!" Kikki waved to them.
"Bye!" Ed replied with a wave of his own as the five girls then disappeared from their eyesight.
The Ed's soon trailed off towards their homes. But while they were walking, there was a mysterious shadow following them.
'… These three could be who I need,' thought the shadow figure as he then got out a straw like tube and pointed it towards the three Ed's.
The figure blew into it three times as three darts came firing out of the tube and came barreling towards the Ed's. Each of the darts were glowing a certain color; green, red and yellow. The three darts soon hit their targets on their necks as the darts quickly dissolved into their bodies.
"Ouch!" they all exclaimed as they stopped walking to rub their necks where the darts hit them. But since the darts were not there anymore, they would have never suspected that something like that happened to them.
They looked at each other for a second before Eddy said, "Did ya just feel something bite your necks just now?" he asked.
"Yes," Double D said with a nod of his head, "It felt like a mosquito bite, but much worse."
"Yeah," Ed agreed as he then made a little gasp, "I hope it wasn't a mosquito from the planet--"
"Shut it, Ed," Eddy snapped to his friend as he then grasped his head with his right hand, "I'm starting to get a headache now; I don't wanna hear anything like that now."
Soon the three Ed's split up to go to their houses, each of them now having a terrible headache. As soon as they entered their rooms in their houses, they all fell fast asleep into a nap…
Sorry for such a short chapter. I've been a little busy with a lot of things. I'll probably get back on track soon.
