A/N: Yay! I am so excited so many people like Daniel. Now just to clarify. This story is Edd/Kevin. There is NO Edd and Daniel shipping in THIS story. However, because more than two people want to see Edd/Daniel. I will be write a DIFFERENT story with them as a couple. I am going to start this weekend and MAY post the first chapter Monday with a new chapter for this story or wait it next Friday. It depends how much free time I have and of course this story has precedence over the new one so we will see how things work out.

Chet took every opportunity to tell Kevin how amazing he was. That he thought that although he wasn't as great a Captain as he would have been. He had done them justice and made sure to let others know not to mess with the basketball team. The feelings among the seniors were about the same but as for the other players if they didn't think Kevin was great for what he did. They didn't voice that opinion of him. That is except Daniel who got reprehended more than twice at every practice game for either fighting with Chet or not cooperating with Kevin.

Daniel didn't bother to stay and shower after practice most days. He always went straight to Edd's house. Kevin knew this because he could see Daniel's dark blue Accord parked outside Edd's house every day following the whole prank thing. This pissed off Kevin. 'What the hell could Daniel have to talk about to Edd every goddamn day?'

Plus, he could never find a chance to talk to Nazz or Daniel. Both avoid him like the plague; they wouldn't answer his calls or texts. They wouldn't give him the time of day in the halls and spent their lunch with Edd and Ed.

After a week of being ignored Kevin couldn't take it anymore. Nazz had been his childhood crush and his second closest friend. The first being Rolf, of course, but he wasn't here right now; the only way to communicate with him was through snail mail. Although, Rolf did occasionally called to check up on everyone. After practice he waited for Nazz outside the girl's locker room. When she finally came out with all her fellow cheerleaders he told her. "Hey, Nazz. I know your mad but-"

"You used me Kevin to get back at Eddy." Nazz blurted out. Her fellow cheerleaders were standing by her looking furiously at Kevin.

"Look I am sorry about that but I was just returning the favor to Eddy."

"And that's supposed to justify what you did? Eddy couldn't even come to school for week. In fact he is still not back yet."

"So I didn't come to school after the prank he pulled on me." 'His just a bigger coward than I.'

"Well unlike tinted skin you can't cover up burned skin with makeup."

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

"I can't believe you're going to deny it Kev. Not cool dude. At least admit you were wrong."

"What the fuck? It's almost as if you forgot he started it."

"Grow up, dude." She snapped before walking away with the cheer-leading squad at her heels.

'What a joke! Before Nazz would laugh at all the paybacks the Eds got but now she is just acting like a bitch.'

The sad part about all of this was that no one really questioned or confronted Kevin about what he did. It almost was almost as if he really was a king and everyone else was his subjects. Therefore, everyone must bend to his will, even if it's wrong.

After about missing a week and half of school Eddy was forced by his parent to come back. Eddy tried to play it cool and act like he was enjoying all the added attention to his person. The truth was that it hurt him terribly; Ed was most keen on that. He hated watching two of my best friends being hurt by that tyrant. But what could he do? This wasn't the good old days anymore. No more hanging out 24/7. No more scams and Edd's awesome creations.

Ed wasn't always the brightest bulb but sometimes he proved that there was more to him than meets the eye. After wrestling practice Ed took Edd to his house. He told him he had an idea on cheering up Eddy. So when they got to Ed's house he ripped a hole in the wall and several sponges popped out and he pulled out one of many plans that were hided with them. Edd look surprised and asked. "What are all of these Ed?"

"Their Eddy's plans Double D." He answered as he smiled and continued to look through them. Eddy picked one up and it was a plan for a scam. It was one he talked about before they got into high school. Eddy knew that they shouldn't scam the kids anymore. But he had plan this super scam as his final farewell to scamming and their old lives as outcast. In the end, however they just never got around to it. He picked up another and remembered that this was a prank Eddy wanted to pull as a freshman but Edd was too busy to help him and without him it never got done. He picked up a few more that Ed had thrown aside. Some he recognized as pranks he had rejected and others were ones he had never seen or known Eddy to pull during high school. Looking at these plans Edd realized that Eddy had always been so amazing and creative. If only he applied himself the sky would be the limit.

Before Edd got a chance to question Ed. Ed had shoved a plan into Edd's hand. "Look, Double D." Ed said gleefully. Edd looked down reading the plan Eddy had created and he smiled most impressed. Than looked up to Ed and asked. "How come Eddy never showed me these plans?"

Ed looked down at his feet and his gleeful face changed to one of saddens. "Cause you were always busy Double D. Eddy didn't want to bother you anymore and he always threw away his plans. But he loves them Double D just like I love chickens. So I kept them. But not next to the gravy." Ed said.

Edd soon filled up with guilt and remorse. Once again he looked at the plans and said at once. "Then I guess I have a lot to make up for." Both boys smiled at each other.

Finally Friday came and it was time for the second game of the season. This time, however, the Eds did not attend. Nazz and Daniel were in attendances but more because of their extra-curricular activities than an actual desire to be there. After the whole thing on Monday with Nazz the entire cheer-leading squad acted like a barrier between him and her. So far as to sit with her during lunch even though she insisted on siting with the Eds. But you know what they say chicks before dicks. Although it did help that Daniel sat with them as well.

As the game carried on the coach had benched Daniel and it seemed that he won't get to play. However, mid-way through the third quarter that seems to have changed. He switched Chet with Daniel. The teams were pretty close with their scores and if their opponents could get in one more shot they would be tied and go into overtime. Less than two minutes left Daniel had the ball but found himself blocked he looked around and saw Kevin was unguarded. Instead of passing the ball, Daniel went solo and was able to make the shot.

After all the cheering and excitement over their win the coach took Daniel aside and yelled at him for a while before letting him join everyone else in the locker room. As he went up to his locker Kevin turned to him and yelled. "What the hell was that Dan? I was open."

"Yea well, I made the shot didn't I?" Retorted Daniel.

"This is a team sport."

"I already heard that from coach I don't need a repeat Captain." He sneered as he got his stuff and headed out.

"Wait, where are you going? Aren't you coming to the party?"

"No!" He snapped as he left through the door. Kevin followed him and just out of reach for the basketball team to hear he spoke more calmly.

"Oh, come on is this because of the whole Eddy thing. Look, he got what got coming to him."

"You took it too far."

"What? All I did was prank him back."

"Don't you know Kevin? An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."

"Well, if he can't stand the heat then he should get out of the kitchen."

"Really Kevin, burn jokes? After you literally burned Eddy."

"What? I don't…"

"I thought you were better than this but I guess not even I couldn't figure out how much of an ass you really are. Thanks for clarifying that."

Daniel left before Kevin could get another word in. He was upset and mad he thought he knew Kevin better than Kevin knew himself. He had pride in himself in being able to read people and his investigative powers. How could he not have known that his best friend was no better than jerks like Chet?

The basketball team had won their second game and everyone was pumped. Everyone that is expected Kevin. All the things that had happen kept replaying in his head. The one thing that keep coming back even after two beers was that both Nazz and Daniel said he had burned Eddy. 'What the fuck are they talking about? It's not like I set him on fire or anything. He did come banged up in a few places at school but I really couldn't see. He looked scared shitless when he saw Chet and I. Almost like when we meet his brother.'

Nazz hadn't come to the party but most of the other cheerleader had. Not that they would do anything but glare at him. Going on his third beer distracted by his thoughts one of them had made his beer spill all over himself. He excused himself not waiting for an apology that would never come and looked for Chet. This was his house and perhaps he would let him borrow at least some pants his were dripping with beer.

He looked around the house but couldn't find him until he went outside and hear him smoking with his buddies. However, he halted when he hear one of them talk about what they had done to Eddy.

"I can't believe you did that Chet?" An unknown male voiced asked.

"That little asswipe had it coming. Anyway there was no chance in hell that wimp we have as a captain would have let us used it if he knew." Chet answered.

"But fuck isn't using hot tar dangerous. You could have gotten suspended from school and kicked of the team." Pondered another male voice.

'Hot tar!?' All of a sudden everything made sense. He jumped out in front of Chet grabbed the front his shirt. "What the fuck did you do Chet?" Kevin demanded.

Chet pushed him off and sneered. "What you didn't have the balls to do. He fucked us up and I wasn't going to just let him go with just some public humiliation and leave him without some bruises. So that he never forgets who he messed with."

The beers were getting to Kevin's head. 'The reason that Nazz and Daniel won't give me the time of day, the reason Eddy look shitless when he saw me and more importantly the reason Edd now detested me. It is all this motherfucker's fault.' Kevin couldn't keep calm the beers mad he explode with anger. Suddenly Kevin punched Chet squared in the jaw. Chet stumbled back at bit. Then turned to Kevin and with rage filling him quickly. He lower himself to the ground and ran towards Kevin wrapping his arms around his waist and hips as he knocked him down.

Chet astride him and began punch him repetitively. Kevin had his arms up trying to defend himself. Then kneed Chet in the groin and he fell to his side. Kevin crouched beside him and grabbed him by the front of his shirt again and barked. "Don't you ever forget who your superior is! If you try to go behind by back again you will be the one with more than some bruises."

He threw him back to the ground got up and looked up at the rest of them. Then shoved his way to the side gate and left. For a while no body moved being too shock and drunk to register what had just happen. "I will get you back for this." Chet groaned under his breath.

A/N: OMG! I have to know. Did you guys really think Kevin tared and feather Eddy on purpose?
