"I hope Eddy and Double-D are all right...............Is this it? 'Peach Creek Institute for Un-or-ortho-d-dox Disease and Inj-ury'. I guess this is the place...............Hello, I'm seeing my friend Eddy, where is he?"
"Let's see.......His name is Eddy, right? He should be in room 14-B, just go through the hall on the right and down the stairs. It should be the second door on your left."
"Thank you, Miss...............Alright, and down the stairs...............Through the door.........Oh, hello doctor!"
"Greetings, your friend told me you'd come."
"What happened to Eddy?......And why is Double-D sleeping next to him with all of those things hooked up to him?"
"His body is inanimate while his mind is inside of your friend's. If you'd like to join them, step right here and I'll hook you up."
"Cool, this'll be just like in 'Brain invaders That Take Over People's Brains'! A classic."
"....Err, ok. Anyway, just hold still and I'll hook you up. This might pinch a little.........That's it, just hold still.......And the last one........There, got it. Now relax while I turn it on."
"This is gonna be so cool!"
The next thing Ed felt was an unpleasant surge of electricity flowing through his head. He felt as if his mind was being pulled out of his skull.
He crashed to the ground with a big 'thud'. Ed got up and looked around, and saw numbers and lines all over the place.
"Wow, I didn't know Eddy was smart!" The boy said to himself as he looked around. Out of sheer impulse, he jumped onto a large number five that was next to him. It couldn't hold up Ed's weight and flattened completely under the boy.
"Aw, it is sleeping!" Ed said as he examined the now two-dimensional number on the ground. Ed looked all around him but couldn't see his friends, so he picked a direction and started running.
Meanwhile, Edd and Eddy were waiting for their friend to appear.
"How long did it take you to get into my head, Double-D?" Eddy asked.
"Well, the machine was programmed so my mind would land in the part of your subconscious that was experiencing the most stress. But since you're not in any danger anymore, Ed could've appeared just about anywhere."
"If that lump messes around with anything in my brain I'm gonna hit him so hard..."
"Don't worry, Eddy. From the looks of things, this place isn't so much of your brain as it is a dream of some sort. I don't see how Ed could do any mental damage to you without you being near him." Edd replied.
"This place is so weird. It's not like any dream or nightmare I've ever had before. So what's a sub con-co-nsh-"
"Subconscious, Eddy. It is the part in your mind that stores every thought, feeling and memory you ever had. It's different for everyone, and it can be a place of wonder or a place of horror. That is, depending on what the person has been through during their life."
Eddy did a rare thing; he started thinking to himself. Edd noticed and started thinking to himself as well. Both of the young boys were hovering in midair, with a strange little light circling around them.
Back where Ed was, things started to change. The area around him started becoming lighter, while the numbers and figures started distorting into trees and rocks. The ground started raising and lowering, with hills and valleys forming as the grid faded into lush grass.
"Whoa, did I do this?" Ed thought to himself.
"ED!!" said a familiar voice. Ed turned around and gasped in horror. Towering over him was Sarah, only she was now 50 feet tall.
"Sarah?!?!?? What are you doing here?!?" Ed shouted.
"YOU DIDN'T PLAY WITH ME TODAY! I'M TELLING MOM!!" boomed the giantess. Her voice rattled Ed's ribs. She was normally as loud as a banshee, but being over 15 times her normal size made her shreaking voice deafening to anyone who was not as strong as Ed was.
"No Sarah! Please don't tell Mom!" Ed pleaded. Sarah picked up a large boulder and chucked it at Ed. He was not fast enough to dodge the projectile and was crushed into the ground painfully. He quickly got up and started running from his giant baby sister as fast as he could. Thinking about how he could've possibly survived a two and a half ton boulder being thrown at him was the last of Ed's worries, for he suddenly heard his mother talking to him.
"Ed, how could you do that do your little sister?"
"But Mom, I-"
"Don't give me back talk! You hurt my sweet, precious angel!"
"But I didn't do anything! She threw a giant rock at-"
"Lying will only make things worse, now go and apologise to her!"
Each word stung Ed's heart like a bee. His mother had scolded him because of Sarah before, but she was always forgiving and never sounded like this. Ed had to either face the scolding his mother or the wrath of Sarah. He didn't know what was more painful.
"....Hey Eddy, look!" Edd said as he noticed the area changing. It started to change into grasslands and forests. A river came flowing down between the two boys with a creamy brown liquid flowing down it.
"I'm guessing Ed's here. That or someone has a really bad case of the ru-"
"Eddy! That's disgusting, don't say that! Of course Ed's here, who else could have an imagination where gravy flowed in rivers?!?" Edd fumed.
"Well at least Ed has an imagination, Sockhead!" Eddy replied. Edd was a little steamed at what Eddy said, but he knew it was true. Suddenly, the two heard screaming from the distance. It sounded like Ed, and they flew off to save their friend.
"NOW, ED, GO DRESS UP MY DOLLIES!" Shouted Sarah as she flicked him towards a 20 foot stuffed bear. Ed grabbed the large doll clothes and started climbing up the massive stuffed animal. Along the way he heard the harsh words of his mother echoing in his head for being a horrible brother and a liar.
Ed could barely take it anymore when suddenly, a magnificent light appeared below. The large teddy bear dissolved where the light reached it and Ed plopped to the ground. The screaming of his 50 foot sister and the scolding of his mother started fading out as Ed got closer to the light. He had to touch it, not matter what.
Ed held out his hand to touch the light when he realized it wasn't there anymore. He saw things whizzing past him as he realized he was being carried by something. He looked up and saw Edd and Eddy, who set him down gently on a small hill.
"You really gave us a scare there, monobrow! Do NOT go into that light!" Eddy said. Ed, who hadn't seen his friend awake for three days, hugged Eddy and Edd so tightly they would've suffocated in real life.
"Ed....Let....go..." Edd coughed. Ed obeyed his friend's command and stopped hugging them.
"Geese, my ears are ringing from having to listen to Sarah in stereo!" Eddy complained as he twisted his finger inside of his ear.
"It was horrible guys! Sarah appeared and she was giant and then I heard my mother yelling at me for things I didn't do and I was crushed by a rock and-"
"We get it, Ed. Eddy went through something similar, but for some reason nothing has happened to me yet." Edd said with a hint of nervousness in his voice. He was right; nothing HAD happened to Edd yet, and that got him worried.
"You guys are the best friends I could ever have!" Ed shouted, with tears in his eyes. Suddenly, a light appeared from Ed's chest and started hovering around him. Ed then noticed that Edd and Eddy had lights hovering around them too.
"Whoa, what are these things guys?" Ed asked, poking his light and watching it wobble back on course.
"We're not sure ourselves. It appeared when Eddy and I were thinking about you, and apparently it appeared when you thought about us. Either way, we found out it allows us to fly!" Edd explained. This got Ed really excited, and without thinking (Which is normal for the big lummox) he launched up into the sky. Edd and Eddy gave chase, and soon the three boys were racing off into the distance in midair, doing tricks and dodging stars that hovered around them. They eventually got into a midair dog pile which sent them hurtling toward the ground. They laughed as they got up but soon stopped when they noticed the shadowy figure standing right in front of them
