Beanie Head And Blue Hair
Marie x Edd fanfiction story. Once a bully and a victim, now people who practically don't know each other.
I do not own Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, it is owned by Danny Antonucci.
The story takes place in 2013, around October (4 years after Big Picture Show).
It has been several years since the last time the Eds were tormented by the Kankers. Following the events at Mondo A-Go Go, the Kankers still pursued the Eds, but over time, their encounters became less frequent as they all matured, stopping altogether. They've never interacted since, unless necessary.
The relationships between Ed, Edd, and Eddy never faltered, they still stuck together like three peas in a pod. Of course, each individual went on to make more friends, but their main friend group was always the 3 of them together. For the Kankers, their half-siblings' bond still stands strong, but they have become less together, Marie having moved into a friend group, May finding her own. Lee knows many people but does not have a close friend group, as she is mostly focused on working to save up money. While all 3 still bickered and fought. There is love underneath it all. They would often take the journey home together if one of them was not out with their friends.
BEEP BEEP BEEP! The alarm sounds as Edd taps the switch to turn off the alarm bell after rolling to the side of his bed. He then sat up in his bed and stretched his arms. The time reads 6:30 AM. He got up from the bed and folded his blankets, grabbing his cell phone as he walked downstairs to the kitchen to make himself some cereal. The house was empty and silent again as his parents were already out for work.
Edd, in twelfth grade, still wears his old beanie, and no one other than Ed and Eddy knows what's under it. They only saw it once, though. He still wears mostly the same clothing. He has gotten taller and has grown muscles, but is still considered below average in physical abilities for someone his age. However, the other part, his brain, is still something remarkable. Top student in his grade.
Checking his cell phone, Eddy and Ed were up talking late until 11 PM as usual. Edd had reminded them of the importance of sleep countless times. But as much as he advised them. As much as they had ignored him.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! The alarm sounds as May taps the switch to turn off the alarm bell. The time reads 7:30, she sits up, kneeling on the bed, and begins to push Lee and Marie to wake up.
"WAKE UP! SCHOOL TIME!" shouted May,
May has grown slightly taller than when she was 12 in eighth grade. Her hair has stayed the same, being very smooth and straight. Her buck teeth still remained noticeable, and she considers them to be one of her defining features. What's different is her fashion sense. She has stopped dressing in just a simple t-shirt and shorts like her younger self did.
Lee fluttered her hands at May
"I woke up after THE FIRST BEEP!" as she grabbed May's hand and dragged herself up from the king-sized bed, standing up and walking off the bed.
Lee has not changed that much. Her appearance remained mostly the same, except she got her blue tooth fixed.
"Jeez, you could've said it less mean!" said May as she watched Lee leave, Lee giving her a middle finger as she walked out of the room.
May turns back to the lying Marie on the right edge of the bed.
"Mar-" said May, before being cut off by Marie.
"I'll wake." Marie said in a soft tone, cutting off May, laying on her side facing away from May, she had only gotten 5 hours of sleep.
"Okay then.. Marie." said May, as she skidded her way off the bed and went out the door.
"LEE! I woke up first! Let me use the shower first!" shouted May.
Marie laid on the bed, she slowly pulled off the covers and sat up on the side of the bed, eyes half closed, while in her pajamas, with the bright morning sun shining on her. She got up and slowly walked over to where her phone was charging and grabbed it, and headed down to the first floor of her trailer. She sat down on the couch while waiting for Lee to finish using the bathroom, slouched over with May next to her, staring at the TV.
Marie has remained mostly the same, her hair is still the same short blue one. She does have an ear piercing now, though. Her fashion got darker. She now wears a small azurite necklace all the time, it is large enough to completely fit her neck but not make it uncomfortable and suffocate her. She has gotten taller, but May has surpassed her in height.
Marie rested her legs on May's lap as she looked at the TV to stay awake.
"Marie, did you get any sleep at all?" May asked.
Marie laid there, not replying. May thought that she might not even have heard her speak. May then pushed Marie's legs off and got up to the kitchen.
"I'm gonna go microwave some pancakes." said May, walking to the kitchen.
"Oh. Make some for me." said Marie.
"Come and make some for yourself!" shouted May from the kitchen, opening the refrigerator
"What's so hard just stacking them on top of each other..." said Marie.
"Eat them cold then, Marie." said May, as she put 2 frozen pancakes on a plate and put them inside the microwave.
".. Doesn't seem like a bad idea, actually." said Marie.
May scoffed at this, then she closed the microwave. As Lee steps out of the bathroom, steam follows her out the door. She looked at May,
"What 'ya makin'?" asked Lee as she adjusted her towel
"Pancakes." answered May as she began to walk to the bathroom door.
"Some for me? I did buy it." said Lee.
"Why ask? You're gonna eat mine anyway." answered May, narrowing her eyes at Lee.
Lee chuckled, "Haha, dang right." smiling
May walked into the bathroom and closed the door as Lee walked over, about to head upstairs.
"Wow, Marie, you look like a zombie. Again." said Lee as she walked past Marie on the couch.
Marie ignored what she said as she continued typing stuff on her phone with her friends.
Edd is in his car, dressed up in his usual orange fall jacket, his parents had gotten him a car a few weeks after his sixteenth birthday. He got his driving license on the first try, of course he did. On the passenger seat next to him was Eddy, and in the backseat were Ed and Sarah. Ever since he got his car, he has been driving Ed, Eddy, and Sarah to Peach Creek High School.
"Soo.. gentlemen, what activities occupied you two last night?" Edd asked as he was driving on the road.
Eddy, sitting in the front passenger seat, looked over to Edd, wearing his usual yellow fall sweater and a brown satchel across his body. He had had this satchel ever since seventh grade.
"Same stuff. Lumpy and I were up 'cause some assholes in GTA kept talking smack and getting salty. I couldn't leave." said Eddy, staring out through the window.
Eddy is still considered short for his age of 17, but he has gotten taller. Eddy has dark hair over his head now, and most of the time it is in gel. His desire for money is still there. Though he chooses not to work, opting for a more unorthodox hustle, buying snacks outside school and selling them to people at lunch. He does make a regular profit from it. And sometimes Edd and Ed would help, and they would get some pay out of the business as well.
"Should've just let it go, Eddy. No point in squabbling with strangers whom you are unlikely to encounter again in your lifetime." said Edd, as he focused on the road.
'But Edd! We have to fight against the bad guys!" said Ed, wearing his usual outfit, zipped up, and a black backpack.
Ed has grown taller, being one of the tallest in twelfth grade. He has a buzzcut and gets it always, mostly cause he doesn't know what other hairstyles to get. Nothing changed much as he is still the same goofy, lovable big guy that he is and always has been.
"Did you complete your homework?" said Edd. Glancing at Ed through the rearview mirror.
"... Noo..." said Ed, looking down.
"You could've used the time wasted on those people to instead invest in your academic pursuits." said Edd, looking back on the road.
"Jeez Double D, we can just do it at school." said Eddy, rolling his eyes.
"You stayed up late, and you plan to rush your homework at school? Sleepy and hurried?" said Edd.
"Quit talkin' like my dad, Double D." said Eddy, looking at Edd.
"Eddy I'm merely offering you advice on what I believe is in your best interests." said Edd.
Edd, being the kind-hearted soul he is, has always felt responsible for his friend's well-being and tries his best to always give advice and improve his friends every time he has the chance to. Which is not a bad thing, but sometimes it can get annoying for those around him, because it is indeed condescending.
"Oh-ho my god!" said Sarah, giggling, texting on her phone.
Sarah is now in tenth grade, and she is still close friends with Jimmy. She has gotten taller, considered to be the average height for someone at her age of 15. Same straight orange hair. Same style of fashion.
It is 8:20 AM and the three Kanker sisters are walking together to school. Lee is in a big white coat and black jeans, wearing red high heels, and holding a black purse. May is in a yellow knitted sweater, some black jeans and black Converses, and a black satchel. Marie was wearing a black hoodie and a black shirt underneath, complete with black cargo pants and leather boots, with a patchwork satchel bag across her body. All of them wearing pink belts. Marie yawns as she covers her mouth.
As they got inside the school, they split up to do their business. Marie doesn't really like Thursday mornings because she has no class with any of their friends. First period, she walked over to her class and sat down in her seat.
Edd also has the same first period as Marie's, which is English class. There are 4 rows vertically and 4 rows horizontally. Edd sits in front of Marie on the left side of the classroom, and Edd sits in the second row.
Marie slumps on the table due to her tiredness as the teacher walks into the class. Mr. Carter, he is a fair teacher who likes teaching his students very much. He's a man in his 30s, wearing a black nylon hoodie with a single gray stripe across.
Mr. Carter sets down his backpack on the table.
"Good Thursday morning, class! Wake up!" as he snaps his fingers around,
Marie looked up from her slumped position, tired, while Edd was already actively listening and paying attention to the teacher the moment he walked in. Edd already has his notebook out on his desk, ready to write down whatever Mr. Carter has to say. Marie does have a notebook for this subject, but it is rarely used, and she mostly just rips pages off to draw. Not much is noted.
"Edd... in front of me. I wonder why we stopped... talking, interacting.. Did we ever really talk? Or was it just me and my sisters tormenting him and his friends? Whatever." Marie thought to herself.
Edd, even if he never gave it much thought or admitted it. Like any other normal teenage boy, has developed a liking a long time ago to the opposite gender. And he has always wondered the same as Marie has, why did they ever stop talking? They occasionally meet since they live 10-20 minutes walk from each other. But they never waved or said hi. Well, not never, but it has been a long time since that happened. Subconsciously, he did wish that Mr. Carter had prepared a pair work assignment for him to do, and he would've picked Marie, maybe she's changed a bit, if she had not tormented him for some time, after all it was one of the only girls to ever have a crush on him in his 17 years of lifetime.
"Okay, class, now that I have your attention. I have a project for you guys that I want to be completed by the end of next Thursday. It is very simple and easy, and I believe I might've even given you guys more than enough time." said Mr. Carter
The classroom listened.
"For this assignment, I want you guys to form a pair."
