A/N: Ten! Ten! Ten! Hello there! This is tendaysromeo and welcome to the 23rd chapter of DreamTheater Intermix: The World Within! Nothing much to say, so let's start this chapter!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Countdown is over, so let's get this chapter on the go!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story aside from some OCs, the plot and the settings.
It's still quite early in the city and everyone are currently going on their daily lives, and on the sidewalks, Abby Hatcher, Diego Marquez, Dora Marquez, Jimmy Tweetums and Sarah Hall are seen running around while passing-by Lee Kanker, Marie Kanker and May Kanker.
The trio of sisters are hanging out in front of a Vape Store when they noticed someone familiar from the other side of the street.
"Hiya, Double D~" they called out in greetings.
Walking across the sidewalk, Eddward "Edd & Double D" Marion Vicente is seen making his way towards his certain destination when he heard the Kankers greeting to him, so he responded by waving a hand at them.
After visiting Tenma Daytona Romeoford in the infirmary somewhere in the Corona House, everyone separated themselves from one another in order to visit places that interests them.
And for Double D, he plans on visiting and possibly joining the Science Community and Creative Inventions Society.
"I'm really ecstatic to meet my fellow science enthusiasts and inventors." Double D expressed to himself in glee.
A few minutes later, Double D arrives at a nine-floored building with a black and grey color scheme. Marvelling at the sight, Double D wisely adjusted the necktie on his collar and as well as his ski hit, and after taking a deep breath, he entered the building.
Looking around the main reception area, Double D came across a little girl named Lisa Loud.
"Exuse me?" Double D called out.
Lisa turns to him, "Yes?" she responded in an dignified manner despite speaking with a lisp.
"Hello there." Double D greeted, "My name is Eddward Marion Vicente." he introduced himself, "My friends call me Double D because I had two Ds in my name." he shared, "My friend Doowee McAdam told me about the Science Community and Creative Inventions Society, so I decided to paid this place a visit." he explained.
Lisa tips her glasses, "I see." she acknowledged, "I assume you plan to join both sides?" she assumed.
Double D nodded, "Pretty much." he confirmed.
"We're you're in luck because the Science Community and Creative Inventions Society shares the same building." Lisa shared, "Both sides, after all, are related to science." she pointed out, "Unless you're creative inventions is related to magic, then that's a different story." she stated.
Double D chuckled nervously, "Is that so?" he uttered out loud.
"Anyway..." Lisa uttered, "My name is Lisa Loud and I'm a member of both the Science Community and Creative Inventions Society." she introduced herself, "And I'll be the first to welcome you to our humble abode where we share the same love for anything related to the wonders of science and inventing!" she expressed in a proud manner, "Now if you please follow me, I'll take you to where our fellow co-workers do our work." she advised.
Double D nodded, "Please do lead the way." he beckoned.
Double D and Lisa then proceeds to walk through a long hall where the former decided to ask the latter a question.
"By the way..." Double D trailed, "... how old are you, Miss Loud?" he inquired.
"I'm five years old." Lisa answered, "And despite my age, I'm prodigy invested in research, projects and experiments." she shared.
"That's incredible!" Double D complimented, "Getting invested with science in such a very young age is really impressive." he commented, "And here I thought getting invested to science in the age of seven is impressive but you're in a different level." he stated.
"Getting invested to science in the age of seven is impressive enough as it is." Lisa replied in acknowledgement.
A few minutes later, Double D and Lisa arrives inside a large room with the former couldn't helped himself but be amazed at what's in front of him.
The large room is an immense blue maze of shining tiled floors, starry ceiling lights, and near-endless rows of gigantic reinforced steel walls, massive high-end supercomputers, vast pipelines, titanic factories and other scientific machines that seem to go on forever.
Double D then looks around and saw a lot of people working on various experiments such as a man named Professor Utonium and a woman named Bulma Briefs checking some sort of space shuttle, a teenage girl named Satomi Hakase and a young male anthropomorphic fox named Miles "Tails" Prower having a conversation with several papers in their respective hands, two young women named Miu Iruma and Shari Finieno working on an exo-skeleton suit, a girl named Roll Caskett and a young man named Kazuichi Souda working on a dinosaur-themed vehicle while a teenage boy named Jeremie Belpois and a teenage girl named Laura Gauthier working on separated super computers.
"So, what do you think of our workplace, Eddward?" Lisa inquired.
Double D responded with his jaw literally dropping down to the floor with an accompanying sound of a cash register opening.
"I'll take that as an expression of surprise." Lisa declared.
Double D quickly adjusted his jaw back to it's normal appearance before shaking his head, "This is way beyond what I imagined." he admitted in utter shock, "Is this room covers the entire the Science Community and Creative Inventions Society?" he asked.
"No." Lisa answered, "This is just the first floor and it had like seventeen rooms." she pointed out, "And this a nine-floored building." she added.
"What?!" Double D exclaimed in disbelief.
"What's with the shouting?" asked by a voice with a rather peculiar accent.
Double D and Lisa then turns around to see two boys named Dexter Tartovsky and Jimmy Neutron, and a teenage male anthropomorphic turtle named Donatello Yoshi.
"We we're working with some stuff when we heard someone shouting." Donatello stated, "What happened?" he asked in concern.
"Greetings my fellow workers." Lisa greeted, "Nothing to be concerned about." she reassured, "I'm just showing Sir Eddward here, a potential new member, our workplace and it seems like the massive interior took him more than a surprise." she explained, "Alongside his jaw literally dropping down to the floor." she added with a blank look.
"Really?" Jimmy uttered in surprise, "When was the last time we had a new member with that kind of reaction?" he thought out loud.
"Yesterday." Dexter replied.
"Oh, right." Jimmy uttered in recollection.
"Anyway..." Dexter trailed, "... it's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Eddward." he greeted, "I would like to introduce myself right now but I suggest that we do that alongside the others." he suggested.
Double D nodded, "I believe that's much better and a more convenient idea." he accepted.
A few minutes later, Double D and every aforementioned members of the Science Community and Creative Inventions Society are seen gathered around one table.
"Sorry that we can't introduce everyone to you, Eddward." Dexter apologized, "Some of them participated from last night's patrol, so they're still asleep at the moment or just woken up." he explained.
"That's alright." Double D reassured, "I understood their duties." he acknowledged.
Bulma then presented him a glass of ice-cold tea, "Here." she offered, "Have a drink?" she beckoned.
"Thank you very much, Miss Briefs." Double D expressed in gratitude before taking a sip of his drink, "Liberating." he commented.
"So, how long have you've been in this city, young man?" Professor Utonium inquired.
"This is my third day in this city, sir." Double D answered, "Though I am baffled that classes were suspended for a week when we got here." he admitted.
Professor Utonium chuckled, "And I don't blame you." he replied in amusement.
"So, how do you like the city so far?" Donatello inquired.
"Well..." Double D uttered, "... setting aside how big this place is, getting involved in stopping a stalker that dumps their victims in a dumpsters, witnessing a trio of girls roughing up a group of barbarians, finding out my friend is planning to join the Gallery of Champions and finding out about the things that go bump at night." he listed off, "I must say that I'm enjoying my time here so far." he stated with a smile.
Satomi chuckled, "Glad that you like it here despite the setbacks." she stated in relief.
"Everyone had to go through in a state of shock on their first day here..." Shari trailed, "... but it doesn't take long for the newcomers to get used to this place." she concluded.
"Speaking of getting used..." Jimmy uttered, "... I hope you'll get used to how we work here." he expressed, "We do get rowdy and sometimes anxious whenever we're performing an experiment." he stated.
Double D shook his head, "That is fine." he reassured, "Noises can be aggravating at times, I'll admit to that, but the sounds of science and discovery will always be music to me." he stated with a smile.
Tails smiled back, "You're definitely going to get along well with everyone here." he declared.
Roll nodded, "Yeah." she said in agreement.
"So, what kind of experiments do you people perform here?" Double D inquired.
"Quite a lot." Donatello answered, "Creating weapons, mixing chemicals, tweaking gadgets..." he listed off, "... we do a lot of things here." he concluded, "I, for one, loves to make gadgets and weapons." he shared.
"Laura and I work on computers, and we do a lot of programming and customizing datas." Jeremie shared.
"Alongside creating virtual reality-based programs." Laura added.
"Fascinating." Double D uttered in awe.
"So, Double D, are you a man of science or an inventor?" Kazuichi questioned.
"Well, I'll start by declaring that I'm a man of science." Double D revealed, "Knowledge has always been my pursuit but I understood that there are a lot of things that I have yet to discover, so I'll continue to learn more." he explained.
Jimmy nodded, "Pursuit of knowledge is a great thing." he said in agreement.
"And at the same time, I love to invent things." Double D added, "Though I'll be honest that most of my inventions are made from piles of junk." he admitted, "But I hope that I can approve by joining here." he expressed in excitement.
"I think myself and the others can help you with that." Miu declared.
"And most inventors started creating stuffs using junks, so there is nothing to be ashamed of it." Bulma reassured.
"Thank you very much." Double D expressed in gratitude.
Lisa took a sip of her tea before speaking, "Anyway, Sir Eddward..." she trailed, "... since you've already decided to join, I think it's best that you registered yourself as a member." she advised.
"But how do I do that?" Double D asked.
"You have a Coolstargram, right?" Dexter inquired.
Double D nodded, "I made an account yesterday." he answered.
"Go visit the site and find the pages for the the Science Community and Creative Inventions Society." Dexter beckoned, "Press the 'join' button and your immediately accepted as a new member of both clubs." he concluded.
Double D brought out his phone and proceeds to do what he was instructed and after a few minutes, Double D became an official members of the Science Community and Creative Inventions Society.
"That is a convenient way to join." Double D commented, "Bu what if someone decided to press the 'join' but had no intention of actually joining?" he inquired.
"Don't worry." Donatello reassured, "The 'join' button will only appear once the person is inside the club." he stated, "That way..." he uttered, "... we don't have to worry about scoundrels pretending to join our club." he said with a smile.
"I see." Double D uttered in acknowledgement, "That is very unique." he commented.
"Since you're now a full-pledged member of both Science Community and Creative Inventions Society..." Professor Utonium pointed out, "... what do you want to do now, young man?" he asked.
Double D smiled, "Well..." he uttered, "... as much as I like to improve my inventing skills as soon as possible..." he admitted, "... I wanna see the things you fellows do here first." he declared.
