[Edd is tending to his ants. There is a soft knock on his bedroom door.]
Nat: "Double D?"
[Edd almost drops his ants]
Nat: "It's Nat, can I come in?"
Edd: "Y-Yes you may come in."
[Nat opens the door.]
Nat: "Hi Double D!"
Edd: "H-Hello Nat."
Nat: "How are your ants?"
Edd: "They are well, I didn't get a chance to thank you for finding them all."
Nat: "Your welcome, I'm glad I was able to find all five thousand of them."
Edd: "Five thousand two hundred and thirty-nine to be exact."
Nat: "Right, exactly."
Edd: "I trust your caterpillars are fine as well?"
Nat: "Yes they are."
Edd: "That is good."
[There is an awkward silence]
Nat: "So um I was hoping I could ask you something."
Edd: "Of course what is it?"
Nat: "I wanted to ask about...what's under your hat."
[Edd becomes shocked and starts to sweat]
Nat: "If you don't mind me asking."
[Edd just stares at Nat, unsure of what to say.]
Nat: "I get it, you don't want to talk about it, I'm sorry I asked."
[Nat turns to leave]
Edd: "Wait!"
[Nat turns around]
Edd: "I will tell you."
Nat: "Are you sure? You don't have to."
Edd: "I know, but if I am able to show you what is underneath without being able to show anyone else I think I can tell you."
Nat: "Ok Double D, I'm listening."
[Edd gestures Nat to sit on his bed, she complies. Edd sits beside her.]
Edd: "It came from a dodgeball incident. In my youth a game of dodgeball was being played in Physical Education and I was the unfortunate one to be the victim who was pelted with dodgeballs. One of the dodgeballs was thrown at me with great force and it impacted me with an open wound on my head."
[Edd removes his hat]
Edd: "I was rushed to the hospital and thankfully the wound was patched. But unfortunately I am stuck with this large patched scar on my head."
[Nat is shocked with her hands on her mouth.]
Nat: "Oh Double D I'm so sorry."
Edd: "So now you know."
Nat: "Yes, I do."
Edd: "Do you wish to tell me about under your collar?"
[Nat takes a deep breath]
Nat: "Yes, I need to be fair to you."
Edd: "I am listening."
Nat: "It came from a cooking incident. When I was younger I was trying to cook something in the kitchen. I went to the fridge and got the butter to use on the pan that I put on the stove. The butter slipped from my hands and I fell off the stool I was standing on and the pan fell off the stove and landed on my neck."
[Nat removes her sweater]
Nat: "I laid on the ground for hours too hurt to move. When my parents came home they gave me ice packs and my wound healed but I'm stuck with this big burn scar on my neck."
[Edd is shocked]
Edd: "I am sorry Nat."
Nat: "So now you know."
Edd: "Yes, I do."
Nat: "I guess we both know what it's like to have to cover a part of ourselves all the time."
Edd: "Yes it would seem so."
[Nat puts her sweater back on]
Nat: "I should go now."
Edd: "I shall see you tomorrow then."
[Nat walks to the door, before she leave however she goes back and puts Edd's hat back on and kisses him on the cheek. He stares in shock as she smiles.]
Nat: "Thanks for telling me."
[Nat leaves as Edd continues to stare in shock. He then smiles.]
Edd: "I am glad I did."
