Sup, guys! Thanks to those of you who've read this! It make me feel nice knowing someone got entertainment from my story, even if it was only for a short while! I decided on no pairings. I might do a couple stories based around pairings later, but this one will be based around Edd and the OC that I'm introducing. I realized after posting my first chapter that I called the town Peach Brooke instead of Peach Creek. ;~; Sorry! I'm going to refer to it as its rightful name in the rest of the story. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I (unfortunately) do not own Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy. All characters (other than my OC(s)) belong to their rightful owners.

Ed Meets Al

It's the second day after Double D's parents fully moved out. Everyone was outside playing, since it was a sunny summer day. The Eds were in Ed's backyard, Sarah and Jimmy were in the front yard, and everyone else was doing something or another in the sidewalk. Well, except for Kevin, who was showing off some tricks on his bike. He started going towards the end of the Cul-De-Sac, towards the road, to do a long wheelie back, when he noticed someone walking towards the previously-mentioned Cul-De-Sac.

The orange-haired boy slowed down, gawking at the person approaching him. It was a girl, who looked to be either an older teenager or someone their age that had matured much quicker than normal girls. She had pale-ish skin and raven-black hair that went to the small of her back. It was styled so that she had bangs that curved the right slightly and a lock of hair on either side that went to her collarbone. She had aqua blue eyes that looked like crystal lakes. Her lips were pink and plump and there were pale freckles speckled across the tops of her cheekbones and the bridge of her nose. The only blemish on her was a thick scar that went from just below her ear, down her jawbone, and ending just before the left corner of her mouth.* She was a few inches taller than Kevin, but not quite as tall as Ed. She had decently sized breasts and perfect curves. She wore a tight-fitting yellow tank top that had orange around the bottom edge, which was short enough to expose her navel. She also wore a pair of black jeans and grey sneakers. She was the most stunning girl Kevin has ever seen.

Not paying attention to where he was going, Kevin hit a curb and started flipping over. He was held on his bike, which was no longer touching the ground, by dainty-looking hands. The girl gently sat him down and said, "Be careful, kid. You could get hurt." She then gave him a gentle smile and walked away, heading into the Cul-De-Sac. The rest of the Cul-De-Sac kids, other than the Eds, who were still in Ed's backyard, were ogling the girl heading towards them. She stopped a few feet before the group and scanned them, obviously looking for someone. At the same time, the Eds were coming from Ed's backyard and heading towards Eddy's house. The mystery girl looked over to them, a grin forming on her features as her vision landed on Edd.

Before anyone could react, she had shot over to the boy, giving him a big, loving hug. Edd stopped for a moment, tensing up at the sudden contact, but realized who it was when the girl said, "It's been a while Edd! I missed you!" The boy then relaxed, leaning back enough to hug the girl back before looking at her face and asking, "Good heavens, Al! What on Earth are you doing here?" Al smiled happily as she released the boy, only to step around him and wrap her arms around his shoulders from behind, resting her head on his. "Your parents didn't like the idea of you being home alone for so long, so they decided to give me a place to stay," she responded.

It was then that Edd realized the whole Cul-De-Sac had been staring at them. He blushed slightly, earning a giggle from Al. Kevin was the first to speak up, asking, "H-How does a dork like you manage to get anywhere near a girl like that?" Before Edd could say anything, Al narrowed her eyes at the redhead, saying, "What do you mean 'how'? Eddward is amazing! How could he not draw my attention?!" "You never told us that you had a girlfriend, Double D," Ed yelled, still looking at his friend in astonishment. Edd's face turned beet-red and he covered his face with his hat, yelling, "AGH! That's extremely filthy! It's absolutely disgusting!" Al, on the other hand, was laughing so hard that she had to drop down to the ground with tear rolling down her cheeks.

Everyone stared in confusion at the two reactions. Al managed to calm down and said, "We're cousins! I'm Alaina, but you can call me Al." She went back to her previous position behind Edd, who managed to calm down and take his hat off of his face. The raven-haired boy turned around to face his cousin. Once he noticed what he was wearing, he got extremely angry and started tugging on the hem of her shirt, like it would magically grow longer, while he exclaimed, "Alaina Whitney Vincent, what have I told you about wearing such revealing clothes?! Don't you already have enough trouble with stalkers?! You're going to make men think that you're easy!" Alaina chuckled, ruffling the boy's hair through his hat as she said, "You're only thirteen, you shouldn't know what 'easy' means." "Well," he responded, still tugging on her shirt, "You're only a year older than me and you know a lot more than you should." "Touché," she responded, "But I have much more life experience than I should." Edd sighed, releasing the girl's shirt, before introducing everyone to her. Over the next couple days, Alaina moved her stuff in and got along fine with the rest of the kids. Well, until she met the Kankers…

*With the scar, if you were looking at her from the front, it would be on your right, but to her, it's on her left.
