WY: Chapter 3

It has now been an hour since the three Eds left their neighborhood of the Cul-De-Sac to go to the local candy store. The three of them were also quiet the whole way; even Ed, for once.

It was while they continued to walk that Eddy noticed Double D looking around with a worried look as if he were looking for someone or something, "… Is there somethin' wrong, Sockhead?"

"Huh…?!" Double D muttered a little at Eddy's question to him as he then turned to his short friend, "… Oh! T-There's nothing wrong…"

"… You're a bad liar, you know that?" Eddy stated to him in his usual tone, much to the surprise of Double D. Eddy then did something else unexpected; he jogged up a little to get ahead of Double D, so he could stop him from walking, "Now, tell me and Ed what's going on; right now."

Double D made a little sigh of defeat, tilting his head a little downward as he did, "Alright, I'll tell you; both you and Ed," he muttered as he glanced back up to look around at their surroundings; they were now located next to the candy store, and there was a bench nearby the candy store, "We'll sit over there," he stated as he started to walk towards it.

Both Ed and Eddy looked at each other with confusion before shrugging their shoulders and following their friend to the sitting bench. The three of them soon sat down on the bench.

"So, spill it," Eddy started to say as he turned back to Double D, "Tell us why you're getting so jumpy."

"Well…" Double D started to say as he lowered his head a little, "I had a phone call last night… I think it was someone from my past."

Both Eddy and Ed were a bit confused at what he was saying, but decided to keep on listening anyway, unaware of the presence walking up to them…

"A-Anyway, the voice said that they were going to…" Double D continued to say before pausing again, gulping in his throat and sweating a little on the brim of his beanie at what he was about to say next, "… T-They said they were going to catch me and… A-And they would-"

"Kill you, puddin' hat?"

All three Eds jumped a little at the voice from behind them as Double D's heart seemed to stop in its place when the three of them turned around to see who said that. It was the girl that was shown before; the girl with the red bandanna, black hair, and a long, black jacket.

Double D's body froze up at the mere sight of her as his face grew even paler than it was before.

"Whoa!" Eddy yelped a little in surprise, "Who the heck are you?!"

"J-J-Janet?!" Double D finally stuttered in horror as he widened his eyes in shock.

Both Eddy and Ed turned to Double D with utter confusion on their faces; "You know her, Double D?" questioned Ed.

"Of course he knows me," the girl named Janet stated as she started to form a little smirk on her face, "We're very old… acquaintances before he moved away to this dump of a town."

"B-But why?!" Double D then cried out in demand, much to the shock of Eddy and Ed, "Why are you coming after me now; after all of these years?!"

Janet only snickered at his reaction, "Because, I want my revenge for what happened to my reputation, of course."

Eddy and Ed only widened their eyes at what she just said, 'W-What did she say?!' Eddy thought with a bit of horror.

Eddy and Ed turned back Double D, only to see his head lowered down, hiding his face from their view.

"Eddy, Ed…" Double D started to say, "P-Please… d-don't follow me."

It was when he said that sentence that Double D got up and dashed off down the sidewalk.

"Double D?!" Eddy yelped aloud with shock as he saw him running down the sidewalk.

Ed then noticed something missing from the scene, "Eddy, that girl's going after Double D!"

Eddy widened his eyes with even more shock, "What?!"

Indeed it was true; the girl that was standing behind them was now running after Double D. That's when a feeling started to form in Eddy's stomach; it was a feeling of uncertainty.

"… Ed, go into the candy store and tell the person there to call the police," Eddy started to say to Ed as Ed turned to him in confusion.

"Uh, sure I will," Ed replied with a nod of his head as he got up from the bench and went towards the candy store behind him.

It was about half a second later that Eddy got up from where he sat and went after Double D and the girl named Janet, hoping that he was not right about his instincts of what was to come.
