WY: Chapter 10

It was now ten-thirty at night here in the county of Sunflower Shoal. We soon came upon an amusement park by the ocean called Mondo-A-Go-Go. It was here that we could see on the far side of the amusement park that there was a trailer shaped like a whale. It was in this whale-shaped trailer that we could see a man sitting inside in his living room, watching the local news that was now going off.

It was then that his phone that was beside him started to ring. The man grumbled a little as he turned down the television before picking up his phone, "Hello?" he answered with a bit of a rough voice.

"Hello, is this the home of Evan McGee, Eddy McGee's older brother?" questioned a feminine voice on the other side.

"Uh, sure is, toots," stated the man named Evan as he narrowed his eyes a little with annoyance at Eddy's name, "What's that little pipsqueak done now?"

"He's done nothing," replied the woman, "We couldn't contact your mother or father, so we called you to tell you that Eddy's in the hospital. He's been shot."

That was when Evan made a face of disbelief, "What? Are you serious?!"

"Yes," the woman replied, "We need you to come over here to pick him up when he is all healed."

"… Sure, I will; bye," Evan replied to the woman as he then hung up his phone.

Evan soon got up from where he sat and rushed into his kitchen to get his house and car keys. It was then that went out of his trailer, locking it behind as he did, and he went over to his car, which was a cruddy-looking minivan of some sort. He got inside his minivan, cranked up the car, and drove off towards the hospital…

It was now eleven-thirty at night here in the little town of Peach Creek we soon came back upon the Peach Creek Hospital. It was here in one of the hospital rooms that we could see Double D and Ed, sitting next to a still-sleeping Eddy. The doctors took out the bullet from Eddy when he arrived at the emergency room; it only took about thirty minutes to do. And now, everyone just had to wait for Eddy to wake up.

It was then that both Double D and Ed heard a growling noise in the room. Ed looked down at his stomach for a moment before he realized, "… I'm hungry."

"… Why don't you go to the cafeteria, Ed," Double D stated to Ed as he turned to him, "I'll stay here with Eddy until he wakes up."

"… Oh, okay Double D!" Ed replied to him as he got up from where he sat and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him as he did.

It was while Ed was walking down towards the cafeteria that Evan was coming down the other hallway, looking for Eddy's hospital room. He soon found his room and was about to enter it, but then saw something that caught his interest when he cracked the door to look inside; it was Double D, who was still sitting next to Eddy. Double D's back was turned away from the door, so Double D did not see Eddy's brother there.

"Eddy…" Double D muttered as he held Eddy's right hand with his own, "Please wake up soon…"

Double D kept his hands locked onto Eddy's right hand until he heard the door fully open behind him. Double D quickly jumped a little as he turned to see who had come in; he turned pale at who it was, 'E-Eddy's brother?!' he thought as he quickly let go of Eddy's hand.

"Hey there," Evan stated to Double D as he came over to him and Eddy, "How's Pipsqueak doing?"

"… Oh, t-the doctor says he's alright," Double D replied as he turned back to Eddy, "He's just still asleep…"

"Ah, I see…" Evan muttered as he sat down next to Eddy on the other side of his hospital bed.

It was then that Eddy's brother started to think about something; what he witnessed before he came into the room, "So… I see you were holding my bro's hand there."

That statement made Double D freeze up in fright as he widened his eyes at him, "Y-You did…?!"

"Yeah," Evan replied.

Double D looked down to the floor in embarrassment, fidgeting with his thumbs and blushing a bit as he did, "I-I'm sorry…"

"Hey, there's nothing to be sorry about," Evan stated back, much to the surprise of Double D, "Everyone your age has hormones that you can't control sometimes."

"… T-True, I guess…" Double D replied with a mutter.

"Well, just don't be so clingy to him," Evan continued to say, "You girls always have a problem with that."

Double D was about to agree with Evan before he caught what he really said, 'Wait… did Eddy's brother just call me a girl?' he thought.

"Umm…" Double D started to say, "I'm not a girl; I'm a boy."

Evan only blinked a little at Double D's statement, "… Wait," he started to say as he narrowed his eyes, "You're really a boy?!"

"… Y-Yes?"

There was a bit of an awkward silence between the two before… "… Get out."

Double D widened his eyes, "W-What…?"

"I said get out!" barked Evan as he started to stand up from where he sat, "Get out of this room and away from us before I-?!"

Suddenly, Evan was interrupted by a groan as both he and Double D looked back at Eddy, who was starting to come to, "Geez… Why the heck is everyone screaming…?" he muttered with annoyance as he opened his eyes to see both Double D and his brother.

"Eddy, you're alright!" Double D stated with a smile of relief, "That's good…"

Evan made a glare at Double D for that statement, which Eddy immediately noticed, but decided not to question.

"So, you're alright after all, Double D…" Eddy started to say, "I was worried that Janet shot you too."

"No, I'm alright; thanks to you," Double D replied, ignoring the glare from Eddy's brother.

Eddy then turned to his brother, "What are you doing here, bro?"

"The hospital couldn't get Mom and Dad at work, so they called me instead," Evan replied.

"Ah, figures…" Eddy muttered a little.

"And, if I can remember correctly, your friend here was about to leave," Evan stated as looked back at Double D with another glare, "Right?"

"Really?" questioned Eddy with an arched eyebrow, "Why?"

"Err, well…" Double D muttered as he made a defeated sigh, coming up with an excuse, "Mother and Father called me from New York and wanted me to come home now. Sorry, Eddy…"

"Oh, it's alright," Eddy replied, "You can visit me in the morning if you want."

Double D made a weak smile, "Thank you…" he stated back as he started to walk towards the door, but then stopped to say, "Ed's in the cafeteria now, so he'll probably come back soon."

"Oh, alright," Eddy stated with a nod of his head.

Double D only made a sad sigh as he opened the door and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him as he did, "Me and my big mouth…" he muttered as he walked down the hospital hallway toward the exit.

"… Geez, what's with him?" Eddy stated aloud to himself, 'He seemed upset about something…'

"Eh, beats me, Pipsqueak," Evan replied as he sat back down next to Eddy, "He's probably got issues to deal with."

Eddy made a bit of a sigh at that statement, "Yeah, maybe…" he muttered.

Evan then started to think about something, 'Heh, looks like Pipsqueak doesn't know about that side of his friend yet…' he made a smirk at another thought, 'I guess I'll have to do something about that then…' Evan continued to think as he made a chuckle.

"… What are you laughing at, bro?" questioned Eddy.

"… Oh!" Evan replied, "I'm just thinking of something funny; that's all."

"Oh… Uh-huh…" Eddy stated back as he looked back at the door, still a little worried about Double D…
