'Oh my, it seems like Kevin did not attend classes today. Perhaps the paint hasn't faded yet or perhaps he is much too embarrass to attend school. After all Johnny made sure to place Kevin on the front page with an extreme close up of his face. If I was still part of the newspaper I won't have let that happen.' Edd sighed loudly.

"Why are you sighing, Sock-head? Did you see what Johnny did?" Questioned Eddy as he pushed the school's newspaper in Edd's face.

"Yes Eddy, I am quite aware that your public humiliation of Kevin is on the front cover." Retorted Edd displeased with his friends actions from the previous day.

"When he won the game I thought things might have been ruin. But then he doesn't come to school today. Meaning he must still be a pumpkin head and probably won't come to the Homecoming dance. That special paint of yours really did wonders. Now I can finally have the dance I deserved with Nazz."

"Hope your enjoying yourself Eddy."

"Of course I am Sock-head."

"Need I remind you that Kevin will eventually come back to school and get revenge on you, Eddy."

"He doesn't even know that we did it."

"Yes he does. I told him."

"Fucking traitor!"

"Language!"

"Wait, you're just pulling my leg, right? If you had told him you would be all black and blue."

"I did tell him. I told him that this was all your scheme not that he needed my help in figuring it out."

"I can't believe you would betray me like this."

"I can't believe you could be so atrocious, self-serving and callous. Kevin got humiliated in front of all his peers like you wanted and you didn't let his teammates join the game so that he could at least escape the taunting of the crowd. Afterwards Kevin got hurt and was almost force to forfeit the game and yet you still refused to let his teammates free."

"Don't act all high and mighty. You were in on it too."

"…At least I am trying to make amends for what I did."

'Now I look less like a pumpkin and more like a sunburned orange. Just wait till I get my hand on you Ed-head. 'Suddenly there is a weak knock at the door. Kevin leaves the bathroom and makes his way to the door and without even checking who it is he opens the door. Standing at his doorsteps is Edd.

"What do you want Double Dork?" Demands Kevin as he crossed his arms.

For a few seconds Edd stared at Kevin's Bright Red hair until he heard a displeased grunt from Kevin. Then searched his messenger bag and pulled out Kevin's hat. Present it to him and said. "Greetings, Kevin. I fixed your hat."

Kevin took the hat. 'It practically looks brand new. He is always so amazing.' Then replied. "Thanks." As he is about to close the door when he heard Edd wondered. "Can I be of any assistance?"

"With what?"

"Well…um…I can see that you are trying to color you hair to its original color but …um… it seems you were unsuccessful."

"Can you fix it?"

"If you allow me, I believe so."

"Great" Kevin disclosed and pulled Edd inside his house. After a few hours Kevin's hair looked back to normal although his skin was still orange and hands still a bit green. Edd suggested that he puts on makeup to cover it up so that he may attend Homecoming. But he refused and said there will be other Homecomings. Plus he won't want to be caught dead wearing makeup especially after the whole pumpkin thing. Edd tells Kevin. "Well seeing that your hair is now the correct shade. I must be going. I have a lot of studying to do."

"Studying? What about Homecoming?" Responded Kevin.

"I don't like school dances. Anyway I have a lot of studying to complete."

"Really? Cause I remember a certain Edd dancing with Nazz back in the day."

"Well…I…um…I didn't really want to go. It was Eddy who forced me."

"I see. I wish I could go to Homecoming but the sprained ankle and being orange kind of prevents that."

"I apologize for that, however, don't despair. The paint should be gone in the next 2-3 days and according to the nurse your ankle will be fine as long as you stay off of it."

"That makes me feel so much better." Kevin said sarcastically. Edd started to gather his things.

"Wait. Are you really going to go?" asked Kevin.

"Affirmative." Responded Edd.

"Come on Dork don't leave me here all by myself while I know everyone else is having fun. Hey, you could even bring your things and study here." Pleaded Kevin. Edd unable to retort and understanding what it feels like to be stuck alone brought some of his books from home. He studied for a long time and even ate dinner with Kevin. Afterwards they took a break and started watching some television. Before either one had realized it; it was passed 11pm. Edd gathered his things and Kevin walked him to the door. As he stood right outside, Kevin admitted. "Hanging out with you wasn't so bad." 'In fact it was better than not bad.'

Edd giggled. "It wasn't so bad hanging out with you either."

'You're so cute when you laugh like that.'

Edd then added. "Well, I will see you at school."

"Wait" Kevin Implored. "You did say if it made me feel better I could punch you or whatever, right?"

Edd took a big gulp and approved. "…Indisputably."

"Okay, than close your eyes."

Edd closed his eye tight and waited to feel a hard hit on the face. But instead was overcome by an unsuspected sensation. It was Kevin's lips pressed firmly against his own. They stood there for what seemed like an eternity. Then Kevin broke off the kiss and said: "Okay, you can breathe now."

Edd open his eyes and took a big gulp of air but before he could say anything. Kevin spoke: "This makes us even now. Good bye Double Dweeb."

Then he slammed the door shut.
