"....Huh, where am I?.......I must be dreaming. Ugg, I'm sick of dreams right now. Well, I guess I'll have to wait until I wake up. Might as well make the best of it..........Huh, what are you doing here?.....Wait, no, stop!!
AAAA
AAAAHHH!!!" Eddy screamed as he shot up. He looked around and saw he was in his bedroom.
"It was just another nightmare. Maybe that karma stuff Double-D told me once is true." He looked over at his alarm clock, it was almost noon. Eddy suddenly heard knocking on the door. He opened it and saw Edd and Ed.
"Hi Eddy!"
"Hey Ed, Double-D. So, what's the plan for today?" Eddy asked. He was still a little shaken by his dream. He tried to remember it, but it started seeping from his memory. All he remembered was that he had a nightmare.
"I'm not sure. Let's go to Ed's house and think up something." Edd replied. They started walking to Ed's house when Kevin suddenly pulled up.
"What do you want, Shovel-Chin?" Eddy asked rudley.
"I heard about what happened to you a few days ago." Kevin replied.
"Yea, what about it?"
"Well, the doctor told me that inside your head you were getting womped, so you're a pretty tough guy to be able to stand up to that."
The Eds stood in shock at what could possibly be taken as a compliment from Kevin.
"Anyway, we're throwing you a welcome back party. You wanna come?"
"....Wait, is this some kind of trick? Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?" Eddy asked.
"No no, I promise this isn't a trick. Nazz thought of it and invited you to come."
"Nazz threw a party for me? Come on, guys, let's go!" Eddy said as he raced off with Edd and Ed.
"Wait up. The other two dorks can't come, they'll just dork up the place. You're the one who was in a coma."
"You mean Ed and Double-D can't come with me?" Eddy had to choose between his friends and something he wanted before, but this time he was actually gonna be the guest of honor at a party. He thought for a while, looking back and fourth between Kevin and the other two Eds. Kevin started going away on his bike.
"......Hey Kev, wait up!" Eddy yelled, running after him.
"What just happened, Double-D?" Ed asked sadly.
"Eddy betrayed us, Ed. That's what happened." Edd said sadly. Eddy had abandoned his friends in the past but for some reason it really hurt Edd that time. The two Eds snuck behind Eddy and followed him to the party.
"Hey Eddy, I'm glad you're alive!" Nazz said as she hugged Eddy. Naturally, the boy melted into a puddle and resolidified on the ground like a cartoon, making Nazz chuckle a bit. He got up and started dancing with the other kids.
"So Eddy, what happened while you were asleep?" Sarah asked him as they danced.
"Well, it was pretty rough. All sorts of bad things started happening and I was completely unarmed, but I took on everything that came at me. I'm just that cool." Eddy bragged.
Edd, who was listening through the fence, was discusted at the lie Eddy was telling.
The kids urged him to go into detail, and Eddy spun a web of lies about what happend in his head. He told about brave battles, verocious monsters and horrible experiences. But he never mentioned the fact that Edd saved his life. In fact, he didn't even say that Ed and Edd were in there with him.
The other Eds listened to every word, which stung like a pinch of salt on an open wound.
Afterwards, the kids had lunch inside.
"You know Eddy, you're not such a dork when you're not scamming people or hanging out with the other dorks. You should hang out with us more often." Kevin said.
"Sure, Kevin. You're not such a jerk after all."
After Edd and Ed heard that through the window, they started walking away from the kid who was once their friend.
"See you later Ed, I'm going for a walk in the woods."
"Bye Double-D." Ed said unhappilly as he walked back to his house.
Edd put on all of his germ-deflecting equipment and headed into the woods. He wasn't normally one to take walks but Eddy's decision made him frustrated enough to do so. He walked on and on, not knowing or caring where he went or where he was going. All he could think about was how he and Ed helped Eddy and how Eddy didn't even mention them. Plus, he didn't even mention Painajainen. As Edd thought about Eddy bitterly, those thoughts soon turned into memories of the few good things Eddy did in their friendship. He remembered how Eddy saved him from the Kanker sisters after Edd got beat up by Jimmy and the select few other nice things Eddy did. As Edd thought about Eddy, a small light appeared from his chest and Edd found himself floating a few inches above the ground.
"What's going on?" He asked himself. The light suddenly shot off further into the woods but stopped before it was out of sight, as if it was beckoning Edd to follow.. He quickly followed it down the woods as fast as he could, dodging trees and rocks. When he finally reached it, it started orbiting around him like last time. He then saw the sky in front of him. Or more accurately, a sort of wall that looked like the sky. Edd looked around and saw it went up and arced behind him. He touched it and found it was solid as a rock. The sky was a giant dome that encased the entire cul-de-sac.
"Oh god, we're still here?"
