Eddsworld Girlfriends| Tudor Mansion Part 1

Me being self indulgent with OC's cause I can >:)

Part 1

“Hey there, Teddy bear! What’s up?” Mayleen asked, her phone set on the coffee table and the connected earbud resting in her ear as she fixed the pillows on the couch and watered a few of the nearby plants. Her green apron contrasting her tan sundress and pale skin, long blonde hair pulled up in a temporary bun and straight bands curling nicely against her round face.

“Hey May,” Edd said softly, sounding flat and down. She frowned slightly, moving over to the coffee bar to water the flowers underneath the top. “You sound down. What’s wrong Pookie?” She asked, setting the green watering can on the table top as she moved to behind the bar to clean up her area with customers passing by the window. “ Well, you know that big commercial I’m working on?”

“The one with Cola! I’m so excited to see it, Edd! Your animation is so creative, I would’ve neer been able to put together something like bacon and butterscotch!” She praised, bright smile wide as he wiped her bakery goods display case down. “ That’s sweet of you muffin, but the company wants to meet with me and schedule some more commissions.”

Mayleen stopped, getting up from her kneeled position and letting out a sharp laugh as she smiled. “ Oh my god. Oh my god! Edd! That’s amazing sweetheart!” She said excitedly, physically jumping a little in brown heeled ankle boots. “I can’t believe it! This is gonna be it, Eddy! This is gonna be the one that gets you big, I just know it!” She moved around the counter and back to the coffee table to grab her phone. “ Butter-cup,” He breathed from the other end of the phone.

“They want me to come this week. They've got a plane lined up and everything to bring me over.”

Mayleen stopped for a moment, sitting down.

“What?”

///////////

“I’m so sorry, Darling, but the modeling agency just sprung this on me! A big brand wanted my gorgeous face to model their make-up.” Matt said, voice slightly loud as Serena pressed her phone between ehr ear and shoulder.

Her black wolf mullet pulled back with a hair clip. She smiled nicely at the customer as she packed up his amethyst mirror and vintage jacket, waving him goodbye as she pressed her glasses up her tan nose. “Matthew! It’s okay, Sweets! This is good for you!” She said, her accent originates from her earlier years in Venezuela, but her most recent years seem to dull the pronunciations.

“I know, My darling. I just hate to cancel this week! Our whole trip that we’ve planned for months! Ugh- It sucks.” She laughed at her boyfriend's whining, pulling up her low rise jeans and straightening her band shirt as she walked to the back room. “ I know. It sucks. We spent so much on those rooms too. I mean, how many people get to rent out a thousand year old castle in Scotland? It would’ve been perfect.” She said, reaching up onto the top shelf in the storage room to grab another amethyst mirror to set out.

“I mean, it could still be perfect.”

“How so?”

“ You should go anyway.”

////////

“Tord, baby. I’m not going away for the week with a bunch of people I don’t know.”

“ It’s not a bunch of people, Ness. You’ve met Edd a couple times-”

“I thought you said Edd couldn’t make it.”

“ He can’t. But Mayleen is gonna be there! You know Mayleen!”

Ness put the jacket hanger back on the rack as she made her way past two girls fawning over a new dress, her long pink hair straight and down to her elbows as she shuffled her bags up to the crooks of her arms.

“ So what, it’ll just be us girls? I’ve hardly met any of them! What if they're uncomfortable with a Trans-chick using their bathrooms or something?”

“They aren’t like that, Baby. Mayleen is sweet, Serena is super clever, and-”

“I know. They're all great. But have you met me? I’m extreme, Tord. Too extreme for certain people.”

“ Not these ones, I promise.”

She sighed as he persisted, setting her things down on a nearby bench as multiple people walked through the mall. Some gave her a few odd looks. She was 5’8 with chunky pink heels, looking especially awkward with a white t-shirt and jeans shorts. But she paid good money for her figure and got a few ribs removed to look as good as she wanted.

Let them stare, she looked fucking good.

“Okay. Fine. I’ll go.”

“ Yes! I swear you’ll have so much fun!”

“ Yeah yeah. I just hope we’re not gonna be all weird and awkward the whole time.”

////////

“I promise you it won’t be. You’ll have a great time!”

The brunette sighed, running her hand through her short, spiked hair as she set down her snacks and drinks by her gaming set-up, her stream on break and a little timer set for when she’d be back to the game runthrough.

“ I dunno, Tom. I feel kinda weird. I don’t even know these girls, and you know how I am. I don’t do the- Girly girlfriend thing. Unless I’m looking to strike out but I don’t wanna steal one of the guys' ladies friends.” She joked her american accent was a clear contrast to the brit she was talking to.

“Relax, Cansinova,” Tom chuckled from over the phone. “ You’ll be fine. I’m sure they can handle your butchness.” She rolled her eyes as she put the phone on speaker, setting it on her desk and pulling up the sleeves to her blue zip up hoodie and pulled the red sleeves underneath down so they contrasted. Even though she’d probably shove them back up in mere minutes.

“ It’s just weird. What does Tord need your help with anyway?”

“ He has some charity event for inventors that need a few musicians.”

“Ooooh, moving up the chain. Don’t forget us peasants down here when you’re a big famous musician.” She smiled as Tom laughed over the phone, shaking the cuffs of her jeans to get them to unroll. “Don’t worry. I won’t.”

“ I mean, does it even matter if I go? It’s kinda weird, right? Going with Edd’s, Matt’s, and Tord’s girlfriends and I’m just- like some girl you knew that you're sending over.” She said awkwardly.

“I mean, it’d be a real waste of money and a good time. Besides, you’ve been dying to meet Edd’s girlfriend for months. This is a perfect bonding opportunity!”

“Well yeah. He’s my brother. I’ve gotta have the little sister ‘ If you hurt my brother I’ll scalp you’ conversation but.. I mean, this is like a girlfriend thing. What if they think, I'm like, yours?” She asked. “Would that be so bad?” He asked lightly. She flushed. “No. Of course not. But, it’s not true. I mean, haven’t you been seeing that Casey chick? You sure you don’t want her going?”

“Oh, Case? She’s.. Cool.. But Edd and I would much rather have you girls going than no one at all.” He reasoned. “You guys will be spending a lot of time together anyway, ya know. They're always over and you’re looking for a place, maybe it’ll work out for all of us.”

“Yeah, right. What’re the chances we all move in together?” “ I dunno, we’re pretty good with odds. Remember that time-” “ You guys went to hell and met Satan himself? I swear ya’ll were tripping on acid.” She joked. “ Excuse me. My acid is perfectly legit.”

She laughed as she sat crossed legged in her gaming chair as the stream countdown reached 3 minutes. “ Gonna have to cut you short, dude. Starting back up in a few minutes.” “ Alright. I’ll make sure to stop by on my break. Maybe donate a little.” “ Ooooh, dinner and a movie first, Buddy.” She teased, turning to her desk.

“ Yeah yeah, maybe after you guys come back.”

“ I’ll talk later.”

“ Bye Bridge.”

“ Later, Jehovah.”

“ Oh god, now Tord has you saying it-?”

Monster House-ED (An Ed, Edd n Eddy/Monster House Crossover) Chapter 2

The ambulance howled down the street. Paramedics immediately went to work, checking for vital signs on the limp old man. If there was ever a moment that Eddy wished to forget it was this awful scene. Since he and Ed were the only witnesses, the paramedics questioned them asking for details on what had happened. A neighbor called for an ambulance but they didn’t even come outside. What was wrong with this neighborhood? 

Watching paramedics lift Old Man Jonny’s body onto the gurney was unsettling, especially after... the incident.

Flashes of birds, a car smashing into a telephone pole, and of his brother's friends lying on the ground, a pool of blood surrounding his head filled Eddy’s already overwhelmed mind.

Then something sparkling in the ground caught Eddy’s attention. Sitting in the grass, close to the sidewalk, Eddy picked up a key. It was big. It wasn’t the shape of a normal small house key, that was for sure. This key looked as if it were connected to a cage that held an animal.

Eddy stared up at the tall foreboding house. It must have been due to his imagination but he swore a crack formed in the upstairs window. Was that always there? 

Alerted by a grunting noise, the paramedics were having a hard time trying to move the gurney. The old man’s limp arm jolted, falling to his side, close to touching the grass.

Finally, Old Man Jonny was settled inside the ambulance. It felt cruel to say that he looked comfortable. He was dead.

Stepping off the curb, and standing in the street, Eddy’s reflection showed up in the window of the ambulance as he saw the paramedics keeping a close watch on Jonny. 

Was it wrong of Eddy to think such negative thoughts about an old man whom he didn’t even know? Then again, for years, Old Man Jonny stole from children in the neighborhood without a hint of guilt. And he always got away with his ruthless actions. While he himself always got into trouble from his failed attempted scams. What was he doing wrong?

Ed clapped Eddy on the shoulder. Having been in his own thoughts, and on-edge from the whole situation, the young boy finally had enough. “Jeez, Ed, would you stop it?!”

Recoiling, Ed looked read to cry. Taking a breath, Eddy relaxed. His muscles were so tense. However, as soon as he relaxed himself that was an unwelcomed tear decided this was a good time to cry.

“Aw, it’s okay, Eddy,” Ed attempted to comfort his friend.

“What are ya talkin’ about, Ed?” Eddy swiftly removed the tear that was just barely escaping his eyes. It never mattered how small or big a tear was. Anyone could see the pain someone was fighting just through their eyes. 

Nobody cared about his own battle. None of the other kids at school cared to look deep into his eyes to see how he was tortured, belittled and abused into this loud and obnoxious kid who only wanted everyone to like him.

“They say in monster movies that an ambulance with no siren is never a good sign,” Ed remarked looking down the street. The ambulance was already gone. 

The ambulance...

“I-I’m a murderer,” Eddy confessed in a soft voice.

“But Eddy, I thought it was called manslaughter when it was an accident,” Ed said to him.

Eddy’s stomach churned. Ed did not learn that from the movies. Rather he learned it from...

This was all too much! 

And to make it worse a trashed, beat-up, clearly hand-me-down yellow car drove into the driveway at his house. Music belted out from the open windows. Show tunes that met the eye.

“Great, babysitters here!” Eddy grumbled. Turning around, Ed was gone. In fact, he was already running down the street to his house. Turning and waving at him, Ed had an apologetic look in his eyes.

“Catch ya later, Eddy!”

As if he were being pulled by a rope, Eddy trudged over to his house passing Marie who was just turning off the car. She was still in the midst of singing. If only she sounded good. 

“Eddy!” Marie caught his attention. She sounded excited. “Eddy, hold up! I saw an ambulance! Please tell me I didn’t miss anything good! Nothing ever happens in this neighborhood!”

Oh, you did, Eddy grumbled, walking into the house. Before he decided to lock the door so Marie couldn’t get into the house, Eddy left it open only a smidge. Marie had all the power to tattletale to his parents.

Once she finally came into the house, Eddy just wanted to gag looking at her. Really, pink? His parents actually believed her whole ‘nice girl’ charade?

“What’s with you, Mr. Grumpy? We’re going to have a good time!” Marie’s shrill voice echoed throughout the empty house. “Do you know what I brought with me? A puzzle game with a thousand pieces! We are going to have the bestest time ever!”

“Guess it doesn’t register to you that someone’s not here when the driveway is free, huh?”

Shooting him a look, Marie took the ponytail out of her blue hair, letting her hair cover one side of her face. “Telling me they’re gone is too hard, huh?”

“Guess datin’ a jock doesn’t make you smarter either!” Eddy retorted.

Taking off the pink sweater which was covering her black ripped up clothing, Marie dropped her things on the couch like it was her own home. And then she fell back onto the couch, took her shoes off, and relaxed her feet on the coffee table. 

“‘K, let’s open the rule book. I don’t want to be here and you don’t want me here,” she turned her nose up at Eddy. “No fights, eat what you want from the fridge except that piece of blueberry pie your mom left for me, no friends, don’t bug me, in bed by eleven and sleep or whatever. However, I control the TV and the stereo!”

Eddy smirked. “To drown out your horrible voice?”

Marie was just picking up a magazine to shove in her face. “Do I have to remind you of who’s in charge?”

“Like I’m scared of you! Your sisters are one mine and Ed’s back in school all the time!”

“Hmm, maybe I’ll have to ask them to come over here if this attitude continues.” A snide Marie said to Eddy.

Eddy sighed, staring at her. This was so unfair. “For your information, I don’t need no stinkin’ baby sitter!”

Marie smirked at him. Then she nonchalantly, but purposefully, pushed a potted plant off the table making it smash to the floor. 

“What did you do that for? That’s my mom’s favorite plant!” Eddy yelled at her.

Marie eyed him from her magazine. “So, who do you think they’ll believe?”

Fuming, Eddy marched to his room, slamming the door. What else could he do? What else was there to do? 

Across the street, the house continued to sit there. Was someone else going to move into the home now? Eddy didn’t know if anyone else besides Old Man Jonny ever lived in that house. Come to think of it, did anyone ever live with him?

Shutting the window, this was the end of his days of spying on the old man. He was going to miss the telescope. His grandfather left it for him when he died.

Eddy fell onto his bed, even throwing his pillow on top of his head. Why was it so hard to forget? Guess he’d have something else to talk to the therapist his parents wanted him to see. It was all so unfair!

Relaxing more, Eddy closed his eyes. There was nothing else to do now other than listen to the loud rock music Marie blasted from the stereo downstairs. He could never stand rock music. It never appealed to him.

Suddenly, Eddy didn’t feel alone. Oh great, did Marie come into his room to torture him more?

Removing the pillow, Eddy sat up. Only his blood ran cold.

A familiar figure, smiling evilly, wearing a red flannel stood over him in a dark shadow that stretched down from the window all the way across the street from that creepy house.

Giggling sinisterly, Bro ordered the shows to grab him. The shadow formed as an immense hand throwing itself at Eddy.

That was when the young boy awoke in a cold sweat. That and the phone was ringing. 

[eenefangirlanalysis]

Then Rolf points out that he sees the Eds, or the ‘Better-Check-Your-Wallet; Ed- Boys.’

Due to his reaction, Rolf appears to be excited to see them while everyone else is annoyed. Kevin’s ‘oh great’ reactions just sells it.

Ed pulls Edd and Eddy out of the ground. That’s gotta hurt for Eddy seeing how Ed is pulling at his hair. Oh yeah, notice that they’re being pulled out in the opposite ends of the ground. 

I love when Ed doesn’t ignore when his friends are in danger. The ending of tight End Ed is one of my least favorite endings where Ed just lets a bound and gagged Eddy be taken by the bus by the opposing football team. How could the writers do that? 

Ed is the glue that holds the Eds together. He’s absent-minded at times but he always looks out for Edd and Eddy and even holds them back. Episodes like Is There an Ed in the House and Cool Hand Ed are wonderful examples.

Eddy resembles... a baseball bat? What do you think? I was also going to say the stretched out version of Rolf in his side of the story in Once Upon an Ed.

Yup, that Eds have arrived at the scene.

Now Edd holds his hat down. Edd’s hat is magically glued onto his head at times. Even Edd will take advantage of cartoon physics to save himself. 

Immediately the kids downcast the Eds for showing up just to ruin their game.

I don’t believe that the kids ever gave the Eds a chance, even before the Eds started scamming them. They judged them before even getting to know them.

After watching the movie it’s sad to see the Eds outcasted.

Sarah annoyingly asks, “Who invited them?” And keep in mind, she’s is the first person to defend the Eds after Jonny attacks them in the movie order that (Jonny) leaves their friends alone. 

Sarah has never had a positive figure to look up to. Her mother has taught her to be the dominant one and to act like a brat so she can get whatever she wants. The older kids aren’t the best figures to look up to either seeing how they treat people. 

Her time out from the cul-de-sac needed to be expanded. How did Sarah interact with the world on her own? Witnessing the world’s true colors and finding out that she isn’t capable of handling a fight on her own made Sarah realize how wrong she was to treat Ed so disrespectfully. Ed is the only person who saw through to Sarah’s true colors knowing that she is a better person.

I know the fandom doesn’t like Sarah but she is one of my favorites to analyze. 

Jimmy’s feelings for the Eds look somewhere in the middle. In the last episode, Eddy taught him how to stand up for himself making him more aggressive. He also learned that the Eds aren’t so bad. Now he’s stuck on whose side he should be on.

Why is Nazz smiling? She doesn’t like when the kids downcast the Eds. She wants everyone to be equal. I also believe that Nazz likes the Eds because they make her laugh. She can also relate to them.

The Eds openly invite themselves into the game of truth or dare. 

Here’s a moment where the Eds behavior is an obvious reason why the kids don’t want to spend time with them. However, I am not on the kid's side. It was rude of them to walk away.

Aw, I love how Ed just leans against Eddy. That is such a friendly thing to do.

Eddy comments that he is a pro at this game. Hmm, I wonder what kind of challenges he had with Bro.

The kids have run off in a blink of an eye.

Oh, the memories. I can relate to the Eds on this...

Thanks to the Eds they helped me believe that I am not alone and things will get better. It’s true. 

I’ve never seen Edd sit that way before. 

Ed has a tiny smile on his face. He’s hiding how he really feels. Episodes never spend too much time on how Ed feels about being outcasted by the neighborhood. I think the hug he shares with Edd at the end of Big Picture Show perfectly showcased his feelings. 

“Their social skills are deplorable.”

Oh, the irony, Edd.

Go back and watch yourself in Pop Goes the Eds and you tell me who had worse social skills. 

Eddy is so fed up with the kids ignoring him. He just wants to be liked and understood.

When We Were Young - A Jonsa One-Shot Story

When We Were Young by Adele

Everybody loves the things you do / From the way you talk to the way you move / Everybody here is watching you / 'Cause you feel like home, you're like a dream come true / But if by chance you're here alone / Can I have a moment before I go? / 'Cause I've been by myself all night long / Hoping you're someone I used to know

You look like a movie / You sound like a song / My God, this reminds me / Of when we were young

Let me photograph you in this light / In case it is the last time that we might / Be exactly like we were before we realized / We were sad of getting old, it made us restless / It was just like a movie / It was just like a song

I was so scared to face my fears / Nobody told me that you'd be here / And I swear you moved overseas / That's what you said, when you left me

You still look like a movie / You still sound like a song / My God, this reminds me / Of when we were young

Let me photograph you in this light / In case it is the last time that we might / Be exactly like we were before we realized / We were sad of getting old, it made us restless / It was just like a movie / It was just like a song

When we were young / When we were young / When we were young / When we were young

It's hard to admit that everything just takes me back / To when you were there, to when you were there / And a part of me keeps holding on just in case it hasn't gone / 'Cause I still care, do you still care?

It was just like a movie / It was just like a song / My God, this reminds me / Of when we were young

When we were young / When we were young / When we were young / When we were young

Let me photograph you in this light / In case it is the last time that we might / Be exactly like we were before we realized / We were sad of getting old, it made us restless / Oh, I'm so mad I'm getting old, it makes me reckless / It was just like a movie / It was just like a song / When we were young 

“This should be fun!“ Gilly said enthusiastically as she, Sam, and Jon exited the car. Gilly and Sam barely ever had nights out without their 3 little kids, so it was easy to see why she was so giddy about their bar night. 

It wasn’t going to be just a normal bar night though, it was a reunion of sorts. With Christmas happening that weekend, most of Jon’s old group of college friends were in town to see families. Their college was located in Jon’s hometown and he stayed around the area after graduating. His childhood best friend Robb was from the area too and he, his little sister Arya, and their parents still lived there. Sam had a bad relationship with his father and didn’t want to go home so he moved there permanently, met Gilly, and started a family. A lot of friends drifted to other cities and states throughout the past 12 years. Through careful planning and many group texts, Robb was able to plan out a night for everyone to meet up at their old college hangout bar called The Wall. 

Jon pulled the heavy door open and let Gilly and Sam enter the bar and he followed. He forgot how dimly lit it was inside, how loud the classic rock music was that played over the speakers; it had never been a classy bar and he was glad it hadn’t changed. They used to think of themselves as kings in that place and even though it had been so long since he last set foot in there, he could almost feel those young, prideful, foolish feelings come back. He shook off the nostalgia with a slight shake of his head and a smile. 

“Snow!“ a booming voice came up beside him and put his arm roughly around Jon’s shoulders.

“Tormund, it’s good to see you!” Jon said, giving the tall, wild looking man a big hug.

“Come, meet my girlfriend!“

“So you’ve finally found one that can put up with your shit?”

“Yes! She challenges me. I love a challenge,” Tormund half growled at the equally tall blond he introduced as Brienne.

Jon then greeted his old friends Davos and Edd. Robb and his girlfriend Margaery came in and as he talked with them, he noticed a group of people on the other side of the bar. Through the dim light, he could spot Arya, Theon, Jeyne, Grenn, and Pyp clustered around someone. Grenn shifted his head for a moment and Jon could see a flash of red hair brighten the darkness. Surprise and nervousness began to fill his gut. Nobody had told him she’d be here.

“Ah, yeah, Sansa’s here,” Robb said sheepishly when he noticed where Jon was looking. “She flew in this morning to surprise the family. Look, I’m really sorry for not telling you, we just didn’t want you to change your mind about coming here tonight,“ he said in an apologetic tone.

Sansa Stark. Robb and Arya’s sister. Jon’s ex. 

Jon had essentially been a part of the Stark family since he met Robb when they were 7 and Jon had a crush on Sansa as they grew up. Nothing came of it though until she started to attend the same college. She suddenly tired of all the rich pretty boys she had grown up around and wanted to hang out with Robb and Jon and their definitely not rich friends because they were more “real”. Jon finally worked up the nerve to ask her out after he walked her back to her dorm from a party. He was surprised by her shy but excited smile when she said yes. They had fun for a while but then she began to feel restless. She worried about getting old and not having lived life to it’s fullest before youth flew by. Eventually, she decided she didn’t want to feel tied down and wanted to move to London to finish college. She told him as gently as she could and tried to put into words how much she really did care about him but had to do this for herself. He tried to be understanding and decided to not tell her he was in love with her. He told himself he was young and didn’t need to be tied down either. Over the next few years, he’d see some girls and have his fair share of hook ups, trying to erase the memory of Sansa. He didn’t try to have an actual real relationship until he met Ygritte. Her red hair reminded him of Sansa but that’s where their similarities ended. Ygritte was a good and long distraction. But that’s all she was, a distraction. He ended things with her when he realized he didn’t actually love her. She took it hard and she eventually moved away. And now it had been 12 years since he had seen Sansa. He had learned from her family that after England, she hopped around to the Netherlands, then France, Italy, Switzerland, and Australia was the last Jon had heard. 

All of their old friends would come up and greet her and they would listen intently to her stories from living abroad; she was the star of the night. She looked gorgeous like she was in a movie, just like she had when she was 20. Her long legs covered in tight jeans, her black top unbuttoned low on her chest. Her voice sounded like a song. Like the pretty songs she’d sing in the shower when she didn’t realize Jon could hear her. It all brought him back to when they were young.

“Are you just going to stare at her all night and not talk to her?“ Arya asked as she plopped herself on a barstool next to him.

“She’s busy talking to everyone.“

“You’ve been here for an hour now. Face your fears, Jon. Just talk to her.“

“I don’t fear talking to her.“

“You fear being rejected by her again. Although, I wouldn’t necessarily say she rejected you back in the day.“

“Well, what would you call it when someone doesn’t want a relationship with you?“

“It’s not like she didn’t like you. She felt restless and needed to act on it. I’m glad she did it before you two got really serious and not after.“ Arya turned to face him. “But it won’t hurt to just talk to her. Just say hi at least, you’re gonna be seeing her for Christmas anyways.“

“Oh, God, I didn’t think about that. Maybe I’ll have a quiet Christmas with just Ghost this year, that sounds relaxing.“ Jon had always spent Christmas with the Starks since his parents passed away when he was younger. Sansa hadn’t been back for Christmas since she left for England. 

“Jon Snow, you are not spending Christmas alone with your dog! Stop being a broody little baby and go say hi to her.“ With that, she jumped off her stool and went to talk to some friends.

Jon drank the last gulp of his Jameson and Coke, set his glass down, and tried to casually walk towards Sansa as she talked with Margaery in the corner. Sansa’s back was turned towards him but Margaery saw him coming and he could see her raise her eyebrow in excited curiosity. She quickly made an excuse to go get another drink and left Sansa standing alone.

“Hey, Sans,“ Jon said as he came up beside her. He did his best to act cool and relaxed as he desperately hoped she was still the same Sansa he used to know.

“Jon! I’ve been meaning to come say hi to you but I keep getting pulled away. How are you?“ Sansa asked and gave him a little hug. Her simple hug reminded him of the one she gave him as a thank you for walking her home, right before he blurted out the words asking her to go on a date with him.

“I’ve been doing well. How’s life in...Australia, is it?“ Jon asked, as coolly as he could manage.

“It was good, but I’ve actually decided to move back home. Figured it’s time I laid down some roots and what not,” Sansa said with an easy smile. “Plus, I think my family misses me too much,“ she said loudly as Arya walked by them, causing Arya to roll her eyes as she walked away.

“Well, that’s good. I know your mom must be extremely happy.“ 

“Yeah, she definitely is. I just told them when I arrived this morning. Now she’s trying to convince Bran and Rickon into moving back here. So where are you living now, Jon?“ Her blue eyes were shining like they always used to, even the dull lighting in the bar couldn’t hide it.

“I still have my parents’ house. I’ve been working on remodeling and updating things in there.“

“I’m sure you’re making it look really good. I always loved that house,” Sansa said, smiling. 

Flashes of them having sex in every room of the house ran by in Jon’s mind. “Will you be staying at your parents’ house?“

“Yeah, while I apartment hunt here in downtown and wait for all my boxes to come in.“ She paused for a sip of her cocktail. “So how’s the love life?“

“Non-existent these days.“

“Oh, I heard you were dating someone.“

“Ygritte? No, we broke up a while ago.“ Jon couldn’t help but wonder if he could sense the tiniest amount of jealousy coming from her. He told himself it was just his wishful thinking.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s alright, it just wasn’t meant to be. How about you?”

“Same. There were a few boyfriends but they never lasted long. Especially when I’d get restless and move to another country,” she said with a small laugh. “But I’m over that now.” 

Suddenly Gilly came up to them with her phone in her hands. “Smile, you two! I’m trying to get pictures of everyone!”

Sansa leaned in close to him, placed her hand on his chest, and smiled her lovely smile as Gilly took their picture. He worried she could feel how fast his heart was pounding with her hand on his chest.

“Jon, I just want to apologize for everything,“ Sansa quietly said as Gilly walked away to take more pictures.

The shift in her tone caught him off guard. She went from relaxed to what he could only describe as shyly apologetic.

“It’s okay, Sans. We were young.“

“I know. But I still hurt you and I never forgot that.“

“You had to do what was best for you, I understood that.“

She smiled a small, grateful smile at him. “Thanks for understanding,” she said, reaching out and giving his hand a little squeeze. He could feel how soft her skin was. The soft skin he used to touch and kiss and lick. He had to admit to himself that her every touch, her eyes, her voice, the way her mouth moved, just everything took him back to when they were young. When he had her. When he went from shyly asking her out to having no fear when he was with her. 

They continued talking and friends would join in their conversation from time to time and Sansa would regale them with her stories from other countries. As he listened and watched her, he shamefully realized that he had been holding on to his feelings for her over all these years. It was something he knew deep down but he always refused to admit it to himself. But as she was there in front of him, he fully accepted that fact. And now she was moving back and he didn’t know how he was going to be able to handle her being so near to him.

All too soon, it was last call. They all paid their tabs and began to say goodbye and go their separate ways. Eventually, it was just Jon, Sansa, Sam, and Gilly standing outside the bar. 

“You guys go get warm in the car, I’ll meet you there as soon as Sansa’s Uber arrives,“ Jon said to Sam.

“Thanks, Jon,“ Sansa said and squeezed his hand again.

“I’m not going to leave you standing alone out here at 2 in the morning to get taken,“ Jon said with a laugh.

“Aw, my knight in shining armor!“ Sansa teased. “I’m happy to be back home.”

“I’m glad you’re back too.“ He looked over at her, her sweet smile and sparkling eyes looked back at him.

All Jon could think was that he’s getting too old to hide his feelings for her. Her Uber pulled up and without thinking, he grabbed her waist, pulled her to him and recklessly kissed her. His desire and affection for her poured into his kiss. But suddenly, his mind came back to reality and he pulled away, embarrassed.

“I - I’m sorry.“ He quickly turned around and walked quickly to Sam’s car, leaving Sansa confused.

After Sam and Gilly dropped him off at his home, Jon laid in his bed, wide awake, and thought of how stupidly reckless he was. He had no idea how Sansa might feel about him and yet he kissed her. It was spur of the moment, and his body took control. It was almost like muscle memory, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her in for a kiss. All of the nostalgia of that night, being around all of his old friends and her, it all brought him back to when he was 22. 

His phone vibrated with a text message and he felt dread that it was Sansa telling him to leave her alone. He picked up his phone and thankfully it was just Gilly sending him some of the pictures she took that night. One of them was the picture of him and Sansa. His heart ached as he looked at it; with Sansa leaning in close, her hand on him, and his own old familiar smile, they looked exactly like they used to when they were happy together. Older, but still the same.

He gradually drifted off to sleep, replaying the kiss over and over in his head. Feeling his embarrassment, the familiar and unforgettable softness of her lips pressed to his, and that fleeting second he thought he felt her kiss back before he hastily pulled away. Or was that just wishful thinking again?

Two days later, it was Christmas Eve. He kept to himself since the night at the bar but it was tradition for him to join the Starks for Christmas Eve dinner, followed by watching A Christmas Story, and then each person opening one gift before bed. But Jon couldn’t get up the nerve to go so he texted Robb that morning and said he wasn’t feeling well. Robb called bull shit on his excuse but Jon didn’t back down. Around noon, he ignored Arya’s call and simply texted her back saying he was trying to sleep it off. At 3, there was a pounding at the door.

“I swear to God, Arya,“ he mumbled to himself as he went to answer it. But instead of Arya, Sansa stood there, her bright hair standing out against her white sweater that bore her lovely shoulders.

“I’ve come to collect you, Jon Snow,“ she said simply. Jon opened the door wider and she slipped in. Ghost happily greeted the new face and she bent down to pet him. “Well aren’t you adorable!” she said in a cutesy voice to him and stood back up. “This place looks amazing, Jon.”

“Thanks, it’s a work in progress. I just finished the kitchen last month,“ he said, pointing towards the clean, bright, white kitchen. She walked to it and looked around.

“Are you avoiding me?“ Sansa suddenly blurted out, turning back to him.

“No, didn’t Robb tell you I’m not feeling well?“ Jon tried to say innocently.

“You look perfectly fine, Jon. You’re trying to avoid me by not coming today.“

Jon rubbed the back of his neck uneasily as he tried to figure out what to say.

“I thought we had a fun time the other night,“ Sansa said, leaning her butt against the kitchen island and trying to keep Jon’s eye contact. “It really felt like old times again.”

“It really did, and it really was fun,“ Jon said, leaning against the fridge.

“So then why are you avoiding me?“

“You know why, Sans.“ Jon looked away, embarrassment filling him again.

“The kiss?“ she said softly. “You know, it felt like a movie to me. The whirlwind of nostalgia, the dark street, you pulling me in for a kiss, pulling away and saying you’re sorry, and then walking away. But usually in movies, you would turn back around and rush to me for another kiss, happily ever after, roll credits.“

Jon looked back over to her, curiosity in his eyes.

“Why did you kiss me, Jon?“ she asked softly.

“I don’t know. Something came over me. Like you said, it felt like old times, everything felt so familiar.“

“It did surprise me but you didn’t exactly stay long enough for me to react. You looked really regretful when you pulled away and then you just kept walking.”

“I was embarrassed, Sans. I shouldn’t have done that.“

“I was glad you did.“

“You were?“

“I know it’s not fair for me to say this, not with me having ran away and hurting you all those years ago. A part of me has kept holding on to you, onto us, just in case our chance hasn’t gone away whenever I decided to come back home. It was my choice to leave and I don’t regret it, but no guy has ever come close to comparing to you, Jon. I still care about you and with that kiss, I had hoped you still cared about me.“

“Sansa, I never stopped caring. I kissed you because I was still holding on too.“

A relieved, happy smile spread across her lips. In one quick step, Jon moved to her, slid his arm around her waist, and pulled her into another kiss. This time she kissed back immediately, her hand on the back of his head and her fingers entwined in his dark curls. 

He gently pulled his lips away and placed small, light kisses along her bare shoulder. “Will you go on a date with me, Sansa?“ he whispered.

“How about tonight? Christmas Eve dinner with my family,“ she said with a smile.

“Sounds good to me,“ Jon said, pulling her into another kiss.

[marcus-and-carter]

All the questions you haven't answered yet??????? 😇

Don’t you flash that angel face at me, Anon, I know you’re hiding horns under there…..

1: My name?

My name is nope. Actually, my name is a bit of a confusing thing for me at the moment since I’m trying to transition. I get called a bunch of things, but you guys can stick to Marcus.

2: Do I have any nicknames?

I got a bunch… Satan, Wolf Pup, Magzy, Zip (there’s more but these are the main ones)

3: Zodiac sign?

Aquarius and rat. WAIT I JUST LOOKED THIS UP??? Apparently, your Chinese zodiac depends on when the Chinese New Year begins. And I was born early enough in the year that I was born before the Chinese New Year. I’m actually a pig! Go figure.

4: Video game I play to chill, not to win?

Risk of Rain. I’ve played it so often that it’s easy for me to win now. But it’s still fun to play. Kinda a repetitive game, but still fun.

5: Book/series I reread?

The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks (I was actually thinking of rereading it soon). It’s a pretty dark series, but it’s beautifully written. And there’s romance, but it’s not the main focus, so I doubly love it. I’m so sick of reading books where the main focus is romance, guys…. I just want my adventure without the lovey- dovey shit…… (That’s actually kinda hilarious considering I only write and read fanfics based on romance….) Another good series I like to reread is The Ranger’s Apprentice by John Flanagan. It’s an easier read since the target age range seems to be middle school/high school (when I picked the series up) but it’ll alway be one of my favorite series and it’s so well written and captivating that I can’t help but read it again every once and awhile.

6: Aliens or ghosts?

I pick ghosts. I like ghosts better. (Sorry aliens)

8: Favourite radio station?

98.7 LA’s New Alternative. Either that or KROQ or Jack FM. But mostly 98.7. I get most of my music off there or from movies or friends…..

9: Favourite flavour of anything?

Vanilla. Caramel. Eggnog. Lemon. I like French Silk ice cream, as well as strawberry cheesecake and fried green tea. I like lemon or pecan pie. I like green tea pocky. And chai tea. I’m not sure what else…..

10: The word that I use all the time to describe something great?

Awesome. That’s awesome! Or nice, or dude. XD Or all of those at once.

11: Favourite song?

House of the Rising Sun. Good song.

12: The question you ask new friends to get to know them better?

I just kinda weave questions into conversations depending on the situation, so it’s a different question with each friend….. Most of the time, though, I just try to find something we’re both into.

13: Favourite word?

Fool. It’s great. XD I love it. Just falls out of the mouth so easily.

14: The last person who hurt me, did I forgive them?

A minor hurt, yes. A major hurt, no. Mostly because they kept at it even when I said something.

15: Last song I listened to?

I dunno, something by Owl City, listening to them right now, Mike’s playing them on loop while he cooks, they’re pretty awful.

17: Pirates or ninjas?

PIRATES. I love pirates, life on the sea always seemed a lot more interesting than sneaky ninja stuff. I grew up on Sinbad and I even had a couple years where I dressed up as a pirate for Halloween.

18: Movie I watch when I’m feeling down?

I usually turn to Disney or DreamWorks. I like Atlantis and Sinbad and Brother Bear.

19: Song that I always start my shuffle with/wake-up song/always-on-a-loop song?

These are all different for me. I usually just shuffle or start on the song I’m currently into. I have softer music to wake me up, right now it’s Adagio for TRON from the Tron soundtrack by Daft Punk. I always loop new songs or old favorites, different each time.

20: Favourite video games?

Undertale and Overwatch are my obvious ones. But I also love Risk of Rain (have a whole rp based on it with my bestie), Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (I know it’s not a great game, but it was one of my first games), the Dragon Age series, Choice of Robots (I really like text based games), and the Bioshock series. I would play all of these again.

21: What am I most afraid of?

Being rejected by the people I care about and left alone. It haunts me a lot because it’s happened so many times before. It’s why I have a lot of trust issues.

22: A good quality of mine?

I’m extremely loyal to and supportive of my friends.

23: A bad quality of mine?

All the rest of them.

24: Cats or dogs?

Doggos. Doggies. Pup pups. I love them so much. And cats seem to hate me anyway???

25: Actor/actress you trust enough to watch whatever they’re in?

Johnny Depp. He’s a pretty amazing actor, gotta admit. (Plus he’s one of the only actors whose name I remember)

36: My current obsession?

…..Roadrat……..

37: Favourite TV shows as a child?

Ed, Edd, N’ Eddy. Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Danny Phantom. Don’t remember any others at the moment. They don’t make ‘em like they used to.

38: Do I have someone of the opposite sex that I can tell everything to?

Elina. She’s too good to me. I love her, she’s the best.

39: Am I superstitious?

No, but I always seem to end up following other people’s superstitions…

40: What do I think about most?

The future. Art. My future art career. My dog. It’s kinda hard to remember what I think the most about, I have the worst memory and a really fuzzy thought process.

41: Do I have any strange phobias?

Cold water. I hate cold water. I think I explained it some time ago….

42: Do I prefer to be in front of the camera or behind it?

Neither! I suck at taking photos and I hate having my photo taken. But I guess that means if I had to choose, I’d choose behind.

43: Favourite hobbies?

Writing. Reading. Drawing. Hiking…. sleeping…… (I’m tired…….)

44: Last book I read?

Lord of the Changing Winds by Rachel Neumeier (Do all of these ask thingies have this question?)

45: Last film I watched?

XXX: Return of Xander Cage. Just saw it yesterday.

46: Do I play any instruments?

I play guitar. I used to play viola, violin, and piano. Don’t remember much of that, though. Kinda regret dropping it. But hey, at least I’m pretty good at reading music.

47: Favourite animal?

Wolf. I really love wolves. Big shaggy pups.

48: Top 5 blogs on Tumblr that I follow?

@paranoid-fighter , @welcome-to-witchcraft (when did you change your name????), @jebuzfish (even  though she barely posts ‘cause she’s busy in school and doing homework….), setheverman, and jamison-junkrat (the last two I’m not tagging because I don’t know them personally and I’m fuckin’ shy….)

49: Superpower I wish I could have?

Shapeshifting. I reaaaaally wish I could shapeshift. It’d be so fucking cool. Transform into anything? Sign me the fuck up.

51: Do I like confrontation?

Nooooope. I try to go out of my way to avoid it ‘cause I generally find myself in a lot confrontation. I shut down easily. It’s not fun at all…..

52: When do I feel most at peace?

In nature, when it’s a nice windy day but it’s still warm out and the sun is setting. There’s just something relaxing about it.

53: What makes me smile?

Bad jokes, cute things, uhhhhhhhh…… my friends. Yeah. (Can’t think of much else at the moment)

54: Do I sleep with the lights on or off?

Both? I actually tend to fall asleep with the lights on, but then I wake up and turn them off. Also, I sleep during the day sometimes (most of the time) if that counts….

55: Play any sports?

Not currently, but I used to play tennis. I was pretty good. I miss playing. :C

56: What is my song of the week?

Human by Rag ‘n’ Bone Man. It’s too catchy for me to ignore.

57: Favourite drink?

Water! I used to go very long periods without water, to the point I’d catch headaches, so I quit most of the other stuff and stick to water nowadays. Also, water is freaking amazing when you’re really thirsty or it’s hot out and it’s just so great.

58: When did I last send a handwritten letter to somebody?

Not since high school, when they made us write for the veterans or deployed soldiers (that stuff was so bullshit, not because it’s a bad thing to do but more because getting half-assed teenagers to write them is just isn’t the best). I’ve written some since then, but never sent them.

59: Afraid of heights?

Nah. I wanna go skydiving, can’t afford to be afraid of heights.

61: What was the last concert I went to see?

Muse, I think. Or was it Black Keys? It was awhile back. But lemme tell ya, Muse knows how to throw an amazing concert. Like wow. Good music and good stage presence? A+++

62: Am I vegetarian/vegan/pescatarian?

None of these, I like my meats too much.

63: What occupation did I want to do when I was younger?

I wanted to be a doctor, and then a vet. Gave those up in high school.

64: Have I ever had a friend turn enemy?

Not that I can think of. I’ve been very picky with my friends.

65: What fictional universe would I like to be a part of?

Ah geez, I dunno…. There’s a lot of different fictional universes I wanna be a part of, I don’t think I’d be able to choose one.

66: Something I worry about?

I worry about a lot. Mostly my youngest pup right now. It’s been awhile since I’ve acquired a new dog, and there’s still a lot I’m learning about her.

67: Scared of the dark?

Yes, but not for the obvious reasons. More because the dark brings quiet and with quiet comes more time for me to spend talking to myself in my head, and that’s never a good thing…

68: Who are my best friends?

Elina. Evan. I’m debating Mike.

69: What do I admire most about others?

How outgoing they are. I like people who are willing to get out there, you know? It’s hard for me myself to get up and get going, so seeing other people do it is kinda astonishing and wow. Just really awesome all together. Really admirable. I love it.

70: Can I sing?

Yes. I used to be in choir when I was a small kiddo, and I may have lost some of that, but I’m still pretty decent today, or at least I’d like to think.

71: Something I wish I could do?

Fly a plane. I love being up in the air, and that’d be a really cool thing to do. :D

72: If I won the lottery, what would I do?

Well, depends on how much I win and how I receive the money. I’d actually probably keep doing what I do now: donate as much as I can, buy a bunch of art stuff or books, and try to save the rest (I’m really awful at that hahaha….)

73: Have I ever skipped school?

Yeah. High school, back in ninth grade. Didn’t do it often though, maybe twice.

74: Favourite place on the planet?

That I’ve been to? Yellowstone has this lake, I don’t remember what it was called but it was down by the petrified tree, and I instantly fell in love. Very pretty, has a small meadow of wild flowers surrounded by the pine woods, lily pads in the water. Hell, it’s almost too beautiful to be real.

75: Where do I want to live?

I’m not sure. Somewhere with trees and snow, but pretty in the summer time. Somewhere quiet. I like Arrowhead, down here in California, but I also love the forest down by Yellowstone.

76: Do I have any pets?

I got 2 dogs, my older dog Bandit (she’s grumpy all the time) and my new pup Chara (she’s a hyperactive fluff ball with sharp teeth)

77: What is my current desktop picture?

I got it cycling through a bunch of pics, but it’s all the basic nature pics on this computer (Mike’s). My home computer is a bunch of fantasy scapes or monster designs.

78: Early bird or night owl?

Night owl. I like the stars.

79: Sunsets or sunrise?

Sunsets. I think they have richer colors, and they turn to night.

80: Can I drive?

Yes. Technically. My license is suspended right now…. I had trouble paying a ticket….. LISTEN, I’M A GREAT DRIVER OKAY? I JUST LIKE TO GO FAST

81: Story behind my last kiss?

It was a goodbye kiss. Nothing more ya need to know.

82: Earphones or headphones?

I’m picky about my headphones, and they’re a lot harder to carry around, so I actually use earphones more. But I prefer headphones.

83: Have I ever had braces?

Nah.

84: Story behind one of my scars?

I was forced to hike up a mountain through the snow, and my dad wouldn’t believe me when I said my boots were digging into me (I wasn’t wearing the right socks), so I know have matching scars on both my ankles that look like I’ve been speared through my Achilles tendons from where my shoes rubbed them bloody. But hey, I made it up the mountain.

85: Favourite genre of music?

Rock. Preferably classic rock.

86: Who is my hero?

My best friend. She’s been there for me through a lot of my troubles, and she’s been such an inspiration for me. It’s hard to believe she’s real sometimes.

87: Favourite comic book character?

I don’t really read comic books really, but between the movies and whatnot, I know a bit. I gotta say Daredevil because that’s who I grew up with.

88: What makes me really angry?

Harassing my friends. I swear, if I ever catch wind of that, you better fucking hope they say they can handle it themselves, or I’m gonna check you into the hospital one way or another.

89: Kindle or real book?

Real book, they smell nice and I like the weight in my hands.

90: Favourite sporty activity?

Swimming, though I prefer to swim in the ocean. I like the water a lot, I like to ride the waves, I like being tossed around and feeling weightless. And it’s kinda hilarious coaxing all my friends who are afraid of the ocean into the deep end where the sand drops off.

91: What is one thing that isn’t tight in schools that should be?

Okay, what the hell does this mean, I’m an old person, what do you mean tight? Do you mean cool? I think places to nap would be cool. I remember that I was always tired in school (college included), and I never really felt safe napping around on the concrete benches and it was always hard to find a teacher who’d let you sleep your free time off in their classroom. It’d be cool to have a designated room with cots or blankets or something for naps.

92: What was my favourite subject at school?

Art. I really loved all art classes I could get my hands on. Following that would be science, I really like knowing the way the world works.

93: Siblings?

Nah.

94: What was the last thing I bought?

Fuck, I dunno. Antibiotics? Ice cream? Food? Probably food.

95: How tall am I?

5′2…. stop reminding me that I’m short……….

96: Can I cook?

Yes, but only basic stuff. I can boil water, make eggs, make chicken, etc. When I try to cook, I apparently don’t do it the correct way (according to Mr. I’m the cook Mike) but it still ends up tasty. (Also Mike actually tries to teach me to cook sometimes, I just don’t pay attention)

97: Can I bake?

Nope.

98: 3 things I love?

Sculpting

Doggos

Mythical creatures

99: 3 things I hate?

Loud or high pitched noises

Cold water

Carrots

100: Do I have more girl friends or boy friends?

Boy friends.

101: Who do I get on with better, girls or boys?

Boys. Girls are weird to understand, especially when they’re super girly. I just don’t get it?

102: Where was I born?

Fairfax, Virginia. I was born on a military base.

104: Where do I currently live?

Not too far from Los Angeles, California

105: Last person I texted?

Mike

106: Last time I cried?

Last night (you don’t need to know why)

107: Guilty pleasure?

I dunno. I don’t really feel guilty about my pleasures, that why they’re pleasures.

108: Favourite Youtuber?

I’m caught equally between Markiplier and Game Grumps.

109: A photo of myself.

You didn’t say which part of myself, so have my blanket-clad leg.

110: Do I like selfies?

No. In fact, I actually hate them…

111: Favourite game app?

Fuck, I don’t really play phone apps anymore. Severed was pretty awesome. I’d play it again.

112: My relationship with my parents?

Mom is dead, hard to have a relationship there. I speak with my dad regularly, but he’s an asshole so I try to avoid him as much as possible.

114: A place I have not been but wish to visit?

Italy. Either Florence or Venice. I’d think it’d be really fun, really cool. I wanna see all the great works of art and the architecture.

115: Favourite number?

Two. It’s my lucky number.

116: Can I juggle?

Kinda? I practice occasionally, so I can do it haltingly.

117: Am I religious?

Nope.

118: Do I like space?

Are… are we talking outer space? Or just having space? I like both…..

119: Do I like the deep ocean?

Hell yeah, weird creatures are amazing.

120: Am I much of a daredevil?

Yes and no? I need a push usually when trying something new but relatively tame (like rollerblading), but I find myself making the really outlandish suggestions (like skydiving) before everyone else

121: Am I allergic to anything?

Hohoho BOY, AM I. I’m allergic to a fuckin’ lot. Here’s a list: Celery, carrots, avocados, tree nuts, jicama, latex, and more…..

122: Can I curl my tongue?

Yep.

123: Can I wiggle my ears?

Nope.

124: Do I like clowns?

Eh. Don’t really have an opinion on them.

125: The Beatles or Elvis?

Elvis, I like more of his music

126: My current project?

Writing a Roadrat fanfic and making a late B-Day present for Mike, as well as doing a couple pieces of art for my friends.

127: Am I a bad loser?

Kinda? If it’s an argument, yes. If it’s a game, nah.

128: Do I admit when I wrong?

Yes BUT ONLY IF YOU CAN PROVE IT.

129: Forest or beach?

Forest. The salt from the beach makes me carsick on the ride home. :C

130: Favourite piece of advice?

I don’t have a favorite? All advice is good advice.

131: Am I a good liar?

Yeah, unfortunately. Grew up lying to keep out of trouble.

132: Hogwarts house / Divergent faction / Hunger Games district?

Hold up, let me take some quizzes. I already know that Pottermore put me in Slytherin. I haven’t ever read or watched the Divergent series, but this quiz says I’m Erudite (that doesn’t really mean anything to me….). I’ve taken a shit ton of quizzes for my Hunger Games district, and they all came up different, but 7 came up twice, so I guess 7.

133: Do I talk to myself?

You know it.

134: Am I very social?

Not very. I don’t like new people and I don’t talk much.

135: Do I like gossip?

Nah.

136: Do I keep a journal/diary?

Not particularly, at least not regularly.

137: Have I ever hopelessly failed a test?

Yes….. I don’t remember which test, but there’ve been a couple.

138: Do I believe in second chances?

Yes. But I’m reluctant to hand them out, and you only get that one extra chance.

139: If I found a wallet full of cash on the ground, what would I do?

Turn it in to whatever place I found it, if it was inside. If it was outside, I’d try to find an identifying number I can call to hand it over.

140: Do I believe people are capable of change?

Yes. But I think it takes some major events to bring it about. It’s hard to change if you just say you’re gonna, and it takes a lot of time and determination. It’s more likely that something major would happen in their life and change them.

141: Have I ever been underweight?

No. Always liked food.

142: Am I ticklish?

Yes. My feet and that really annoying spot just above my knees….

143: Have I ever been in a submarine?

Nnnnope.

144: Have I ever been on a plane?

Yep. Several times. I love flying.

145: In a film about my life, who would I cast as myself, friends and family?

Fuck, I dunno, I don’t know actor’s names

146: Have I ever been overweight?

Yes. I currently am by 60 pounds or so.

147: Do I have any piercings?

Yep. I have 7, all in my ears.

148: Which fictional character do I wish was real?

Fucking Alucard please, gimme that blood-thirsty vampire.

149: Do I have any tattoos?

Nah. But I want a few. Waiting to get in the right body shape before I get them.

150: What is the best decision I have made in life so far?

To start taking care of myself first before I start caring for others.

151: Do I believe in Karma?

Kinda. I believe in it but I don’t let it affect my decisions.

152: Do I wear glasses or contacts?

Neither, though I should be wearing glasses. I haven’t been to an optometrist in about 4 or 5 years. I used to wear contacts, but I gave that up ‘cause they’re expensive.

153: What was my first car?

1997 Acura CL 3.0. I’m still driving it. Great car. Though mine’s a little banged up, had a tree fall on it awhile back and ran over a road sign that tore off the bumper and popped one of my tires.

154: Do I want children?

Nah. Not particularly. Or if I do ever decide to get kids, I’d like to adopt.

155: Who is the most intelligent person I know?

That’s kinda subjective. People are intelligent on different subject matters, so I don’t really have a “most” intelligent person I know.

156: My most embarrassing memory?

Nothing happy, and nothing I’m putting up on Tumblr.

157: What makes me nostalgic?

Driving long periods of time through countryside. I’m talking like 3 hours or more.

158: Have I ever pulled an all-nighter?

Yes, it’s fucking hard.

159: Which do I value more in others, brains or beauty?

Brains. I don’t really care for appearance.

160: What colour mostly dominates my wardrobe?

Black (easy to hide sweat, I get super active unexpectedly sometimes)

161: Have I ever had a paranormal experience?

You wanna know something about me, drop an ask in my inbox without a number….

“I smell my fingers after I eat, cheese,” Ed remarks as a way of introducing himself.

Ed has always been very interested in Eddy’s Brother. It’s implied that he met him a few times before Bro left the cul-de-sac. In Ed… Pass It On, when Eddy thinks up the plan about his brother coming home, Ed remarks, “Wait until he sees how much I have grown.”

Ed and Eddy have been friends since they were babies. He has seen Bro before and possibly had little interactions here and there.

I have a headcanon that Bro might be the reason why Ed has that cracked skull. When Bro was teaching Eddy to be just like him, he smashed a rock into many pieces. A rock hit Ed, fracturing his skull. Ed already had a mental disability to begin with, but this incident made his mental abilities worse. His parents must have thought that he was okay, or never cared, since his skull was never properly looked at. This explains his deteriorating mentality over the series.

Ed has always wanted to be like Bro. He idles him because Eddy, as the little brother figure, loves his brother. Sarah, his little sister, hates him. Ed wants to learn from Eddy’s brother on what he is doing wrong so he can become a better big brother to Sarah.

Little does Ed know that he is doing everything right. it’s Sarah who won’t accept him. And this is what makes Eddy jealous. He sees how Ed treats Sarah and wishes that he had this kind of relationship with his own brother.

Bro acts surprised when he sees Ed. He doesn’t know what to think of this quirky kid. He acts as if he doesn’t remember Ed, but that was long ago. He wouldn’t remember his little brothers friends.

Interestingly, this is the only attention Bro gives to Ed for the rest of this scene. He can already tell that there is something off about this kid. He takes advantage of that believing there is nothing he can do to save Eddy. This will come back as a punch in the face to Bro.

Eddy quickly peaks at Bro. 

On a first time view this glance could mean that Eddy has to explain the situation to Bro. He’s the adult. No longer a kid. Eddy realizes he can’t get away.

Then on a second viewing, Eddy wonders if Bro remembers Ed. I also think that Eddy is reliving the head canon memory I just mentioned above. Eddy was, and still is, cautious with Ed. He was an eye witness when Ed was injured. Ever since he wonders of Ed knows what happened to make him different from everyone.

Eddy is also looking for Bro’s approval. He has always based his life on Bro’s. But, now he has trying to be himself. This journey had taught him to grow and let go of the fears that are holding him down. This is the last fear he has to give up.

“Um... I told the guys you’d put us up.”

Did Eddy just quip, ‘um’? I’m probably analyzing this but whenever someone says ‘um’, it refers to hesitation or a pause in speech. I’m might be wrong, but Eddy has never said ‘um’. He’s always confident and is ready to twists others words around.

Has Eddy ever twiddled his fingers? That’s a nervous habit similar to Edd.

Underneath that ‘Bro mask’ of Eddy’s is a shy boy. The mask slowly breaks away throughout the movie as Eddy experiences life outside the cul-de-sac. He’s caught up in rather personal moments and has to face himself. Now, he’s facing his ultimate fear. Is Bro something to fear anymore?

Look at that authoritative Bro face. Bro is the adult here so he is looking for an explanation.

Bro acting like the adult in charge is a facade because he is trying to trick Eddy. He wants to make him believe that he cares and it does work. Bro has to be mature in some ways considering that he runs an amusement park. But, considering how he treats kids this is unsettling.

“Ed and Double Dee.”

Before I get into this next part, this is very respectful of Eddy. He was never the kind of person to introduce his friends. Not like they have met any new people. As we can see he really has learned a thing or to about himself in the movie.

“I t-think it’s very.. uh... oh...”

Poor, Edd.

He over excited himself meeting the famously talked about family member of his best friend.

His old fainting running gag never gets old. Why didn’t the writers make it more recurring? That’s how it looked in the opening theme song of the show. 

Edd acts as if he is meeting a movie star. He has only met Eddy’s parents on occasion, but never this famed person who Eddy has been talking about. Throughout the series Edd has seen many different reactions from when there is mention about Eddy’s brother.

He recounts everyone’s reaction in Ed… Pass it On as fear. Eddy’s Brother may have left shortly after Edd moved into the cul-de-sac. And given how Edd’s parents were sheltering him, he never saw glimpses of Bro around the neighborhood like the other kids.

Our first BroEdd moment?

I don’t ship BroEdd, but as I have researched over time I can understand this ship a bit. Once Edd finally sees Bro he idolized him because of his physique. All the other details and rumors that have been showcased over the past year leave his mind. That’s how Bro lures people. He wants to look like this nice person who anybody can trust.

Aw, look at how concerned Eddy is. Ed too. More descriptions about their reactions will be covered in the next analysis but I want to point out how much Eddy has changed in a short amount of time.

If Edd fainting pre journey Eddy would either be annoyed or laugh. It shows you how much closer Edd and Eddy have become friends.

[eenefangirlanalysis]

Slipping off the rock Ed observes Eddy having a difficult time getting out of the water.

And emerges with his lip hooked into Edd’s gap.

Well... this is awkward.

How on earth did they get like that? They landed separately in the water didn’t they? Hmm, were you two doing other things under there?

Edd hardly even pulls himself out from the water. He looks quite dazed.

I have a head canon that Edd cannot swim. He’s always wearing floating whenever he’s swimming. It may mean that he’s taking safety precaution but remember his sheltered life. There are moments where we see Edd in water without floaties mainly when it’s shallow.

Maybe he should be considered lucky that this embarrassing incident happened. He may have drowned. Ooh... that would make a neat ‘what if...’ story.

EDDEDDY IS CANON!

Why would they put this random scene into the film? The writers, artists, and Danny himself shipped EddEddy. Depending how everyone views EddEddy I believe that they develop crushes for one another around the time of season 4. Being twelve-thirteen years old Edd and Eddy still don’t understand love or these feelings they have towards one another.

If Ed, Edd n Eddy aired now would AKA have have made EddEddy a gay couple? @sweeteggy you brought up a wonderful point back in June, “I think they intended to HINT at the fact they’re gay for each other, but that’s all. I think if they literally forced them to be together, as a couple, canonically, it would be out of character in the show...” [Sweeteggy].     

It’s best that their relationship is up to interpretation. It would have ruined the series in a way but it many different messages would have come off. Maybe negative, maybe positive as homosexuliaty in media has been changing. 

“Whether you see Edd and Eddy as full-on gay or bisexual, it works so well. They would be more than just “two gay boys”, they would be the characters that we recognize. It would also be a pretty nice stepping stone for other shows to follow!” @nintendogal55

Ed excitedly asks how his friends learned to do this trick as Edd is beyond mortified.

Eddy quips that his big brother showed him.

He is only covering up his embarrassment. That’s why he wanted to make Bro look like this cool person. Eddy never thought too highly of himself. Even when around his friends he believes he’s not good enough. He never felt as if he belonged anywhere. That’s sad. And also relatable. 

Ed, Edd n Eddy helped me through a lot of emotional difficulties throughout my middle school life. We all have a moment in a our lives where we don’t feel as if we belong in the world. Finding the right group of friends is the most essential part of life as we learn about ourselves. A friendship can help keep you going.

The Eds friendship is my favorite of all. They always have each others backs and the way they encourage one another to try their hardest makes me beam. These boys have made a wonderful example

Eddy juices up his brother more then he does in the series. Tensions are high. He’s doing anything to keep his friendship. Sooner or later they’re going to find out that he’s been lying about everything. 

Who does Eddy care about most? His friends or himself?

I have to say his friends. They’ve made him who he is. And Eddy also realizes that there must be more too him seeing how they’ve always stayed.

Yup, this screenshot sums are their characters pretty well.

“Yep, my bro's a whiz at harpooning whales!”

HUH??

“Your brother is a whaler?”

Well, Eddy wasn’t too far off considering what his brother’s house is shaped like.

“My Mom’s got fifty pounds of blubber in the refrigerator as we speak!”

As Edd is about to scathe Eddy clean about how this journey could have gone Ed counts on his fingers.

“That’s more blubber then my Mom’s got!”

Sooooo, blubber as in fish or fat on ones body?

We know that Ed’s Mom has a solid figure. Then again, that was technically Jonny disguised as his mother in that nightmare in Rock-a-Bye-ED. And when we saw her arm in Mission Ed Possible it was rather skinny. 

What if she has been growing more obese over time? Ed’s family has been going through a rather stressful time. She doesn’t care to her children, neglecting or giving too much attention to. Ed’s parents also don’t have a healthy relationship as implied by all the fighting. 

I have a theory that Eddy’s mom used to stress eat when Bro was around. She’s a husky woman as implied in Smile for the Ed. What if Ed’s mom has been stress eating? Out of the three Ed feels the most free along this journey. He’s not living in a healthy household. 

“And he’s got a peg leg too. But, that’s what you get for wrestling walresus.”

Okay, there is a limit, Eddy. And he does realize that. Look at his expression in the second image. This is obviously going to end bad.

Ed grows even more excited wanting to meet this famed brother. Ed believes that he’s doing something wrong as a brother to Sarah. He idolizes this brother who he may have met when he was younger. He wants to be like him.

Edd points out that if his brother is a whaler as Eddy claims then he must reside by the sea.

Your shirt’s sagging a little low there, Edd.

Ed asks how they find Eddy’s brother’s home along the sea. i’m actually kind of confused of what Ed is referring to. He says ‘How do we find it, Double Dee?” upon hearing Edd’s explanation.

Look at Edd just slap his face. He would rather be anywhere but here. Is he regretting this friendship?

“It’s quite simple, Ed.”

Eddy’s face immediately changes to discomfort. That’s not the answer he was looking to hear.

The problem with putting Edd in charge is that he always has a back up plan. Like him. He has taught Edd a lot. Whether he actually wanted to find Bro out not maybe he was joking when he gave Edd the role as the tracker. 

In this beautifully captured screenshot Edd explains that this stream is a like highway. By floating upon the current it will land them safely at Eddy’s brother’s place.

Does this setting look familiar to anyone?

As I was saying about that deleted shot of the stream going through the cul-de-sac I think it’s very likely at this point that the boys sail through the cul-de-sac and around in a complete circle. I love how this movie makes you think.

Inciner-ED [An Ed, Edd n Eddy/Toy Story Crossover]

NOTE: Can anyone who reads this please leave a review? It is for my senior thesis. Thank you!

When the kids opened their eyes nothing but darkness impacted their vision. Only little fragments of light from passing street light along the road lit up the inside of the dump truck. The kids were safe. For now at least. Eddy’s brother was somewhere unconscious in the confines of the truck.

“Can everyone hear me?” Kevin called out through the darkness. “Are you okay?

“Of course not you imbecile, we’re doomed!” Sarah shouted.

Just when Kevin thought they’d never be able to locate one another a green light lit up the dark space. “Double Dee, these green glow lights you made really work!” Ed exclaimed having a dozen stored in his pocket.

Kevin instructed for everyone to meet up where Ed stood. They climbed over mounds of garbage. The insides of these trucks were bigger then they thought. Nazz fell against Kevin struggling to keep her balance. The two looked at each other forcing a smile to keep one another calm.

“Are we all here? Jimmy? Sarah? R-”

The kids were knocked off their feet when the garbage truck halted. Everything shook and the darkness seized. Everyone looked up to see the truck’s hatch open and more piles of junk came careening into the truck.

“Against the walls!” Kevin ordered. Everyone followed along, all except Eddy who knew something wasn’t right.

“Edd, Edd, where are you?” Eddy called out in his amnesia like state. Eddy couldn’t forget about the cute boy who had such an infectious smile. He was so smart figuring out calculations in a heartbeat.

“Eddy!” A panicked voice echoed from the far corner of the dumpster. Only his frightened eyes were visible through the trash bags piling all over him.

It was almost like a movie as the kids watched Eddy run and duck through the falling trash. He narrowly missed a couple of glasses which smashed to the ground merely inches from him. When he reached Edd he removed the gigantic bags of trash. He couldn’t stand however as his ankle twisted from the fall into the garbage truck.

Before Edd knew it Eddy was carrying him bridal style and racing to the sides of the walls for safety.

Edd stared Eddy’s marveling over his deep blue eyes. Feeling himself blush from the comradery Edd embarrassingly looked away, unbeknownst that he gripped Eddy a little tighter. Interlacing his arms around Eddy’s neck Eddy turned and gave him this look. A smile filled with warmth and a sense of protection. It was the most beautiful look Edd could ever receive as Edd’s heart fluttered returning the smile to thank him. It gave him a sense of belonging. And a sense of… love?

No. No, this wasn’t Eddy. Yes, Eddy would rescue and help him whenever he was in a predicament. His brother had whacked Eddy over the head so hard that he had no idea who any of them were. Or who he was. He remained glued to Edd telling him how handsome he was ever since his brother threw him back into the basement. Was that how Eddy felt too?

“Look out!” Ed called out.

Edd was so encased in the moment that he forgot what was happening. Eddy stopped in place and staring up above. Following his gaze a big TV screen tipped over the edge of the garbage bin and descended to fall right on top of Edd and Eddy.

It all happened so fast.

Edd was thrown to the side as Eddy lay on the ground with the TV lying in heaps of broken glass right next to him. A trickle of blood dripped off his head.

“Eddy!” Edd bellowed immediately running to his friend’s side.

The garbage truck was dark once more. The only light there was was the green glow of lights Ed had stuffed in his pockets.

The kids all surrounded their fallen comrade as Edd was almost violently shaking Eddy to wake up.

“Eddy, speak to me! Are you alright?” Edd begged for him to answer. Eddy lay motionless with his head bleeding. It wasn’t much blood, but Edd covered it anyway with a tissue for safety. Ed joined Edd by his side holding his shaking friend by the shoulders. Edd was growing more hysterical each moment the longer Eddy was unresponsive.

Kevin was beside himself staring in complete horror at the scene. He made a promise they were all going to get out of their together. Before Eddy received amnesia he told Eddy how this predicament was all his fault. And then he snuck off to save himself. If Kevin didn’t leave would Eddy have received amnesia? Or would they even be here now? He was never going to forgive himself if Eddy was… no.

“Eddy!” Edd shouted once more pleading for his friend to wake up. Edd’s screams of despair made everyone tear up.

“This better not be another joke!” Edd’s voice was hoarse from the sobs trapped in his throat. A part of him was hoping that Eddy’s eyes would pop open at the mention, or even snicker. He was famous for jokes. Nobody was this good at acting dead. Edd wanted to commend Eddy for doing such a good job until he needed to break the awful truth to himself. Burying his face into Eddy’s chest and sobbing he cried out, “I never received a chance to tell you!”

To everyone’s relief Eddy’s chest heaved upwards letting out a cough. Ed took Edd by the shoulders raising him from their friend so he he had room to breathe. Eddy moaned about his injured head which had been given two hard hits in the past day.

“Ugh, sockhead did you cut the cheese?”

Edd never felt so relieved in his life that he started laughing. Eddy looked at him as if he were bonkers.

“Oh, Eddy!” Edd flung himself into Eddy’s arms hugging his dear friend. He could hardly contain himself as he jumped all around kicking his feet in the air. “You’re back! You’re back! You’re back!” He exclaimed countless times.

Eddy was perplexed. Not just because Edd was on top of him holding him so tightly, but because of where they were. This wasn’t his brothers basement. The last thing he remembered before blacking out was… was… what?

“Yes, I’m back,” Eddy answered still bewildered. Before he could ask where he’d been the mood in the dump truck took an even more perplexing turn when Edd laid a big wet kiss on his cheek.

Edd and Eddy stared at one another with wide eyes. Eddy could feel something warm against his chest. Edd had placed his hand on his heart. Both their cheeks flushed, but they didn’t seem to mind. It almost felt as if they were picking up where they left off before he was going to try and break out from the basement.

“Forgive me, Eddy. I don’t know what came over me,” Edd spoke in a rushed voice taking his hand away from Eddy’s chest.

“S’okay, uh… where are we?” he asked now changing the subject.

“In the garbage truck on the way to the dump!” Jonny announced as if it were the most exciting thing ever.

Eddy had a billion questions swarming his mind, but they had to wait when the garbage truck came to a stop.

Everything was eerily quiet for a few seconds. Nothing had been quiet in the three days they all remained locked in Eddy’s brother’s basement. The instant they wished for a sound wasn’t the right time as the lid of the garbage truck opened. The floor in which they were standing on ascended.

“Hold on, we’re going in!” Kevin shouted holding onto anything that wouldn’t give way. They were all dumped out landing in piles of rubbage. They were practically submerged beneath trash fighting their way out as if they’d been caved in by an avalanche of rocks.

“Kevin, the trash mouth on wheels is leaving!” Rolf shouted in the instant he crawled out from the rubble.

Nobody had time to grab the attention of the garbage truck driver. They were on their own to get out from this junk yard. It was a tougher journey than expected as they had no idea where they were. If it were the junkyard from back home they’d know it like the back of their hands. Heaps of trash towered over everywhere they looked as if they were skyscrapers.

“Look, it’s a crane!” Sarah pointed out. “A crane always means that’s where the junk yard opens up.”

“Sarah’s right, let’s go.”

Sarah and Jimmy were already running off blind to where they were going.

“Sarah, come back! Don’t wander off!” Ed called out.

The ground started rumbling under their feet. The tractor came through so quickly. Sarah and Jimmy’s screams were heard as no one had time to catch the tractor picking them up with the other junk. Ed screamed for his baby sister wanting to run to her as Eddy held his friend back. Now Ed began to cry falling to his knees.

Another tractor was on the trail. Before anyone could think to run they were scooped off their feet being sent against their will to a dark open crevice. How could the person working the tractor not see them?

“Hang on!” Kevin called out. He didn’t know how much that saying would help. The next thing the kids knew they were falling into a dark hole.

It was a tunnel. They were on a conveyor belt slowly moving into the darkness.

“Kev, what do we do?” Nazz called out.

“It’ll be okay if we stay…”

Rolf yelped upon being pulled off his feet. The metal from his horse shoe necklace hooked to the ceiling. Anything metal was attracted to the ceiling. It was a much faster conveyor belt above them carrying Rolf away from them. The kids raced after their friend trying to stay together.

“Don’t worry, Rolf! We’ll get you down!” Kevin had no idea how they would, but up until now they had varying luck throughout their capture.

Rolf’s eyes grew at what he saw at the end of the tunnel. “Look beyond what you see.”

The piled of trash were so high that the kids needed to climb over just to see. If the kids didn’t see their destination they’d be lost due to the shredder at the end of the pathway ripping apart anything in its sharp teeth.

“Grab something metal!” Edd screamed. He took hold of a hammer while the others grabbed any metal object. A pot, a cheese grater, and even a metal lunch box. Once they were on the ceiling they held on for dear life as they drew nearer to the shredder. All seemed calm knowing they were going to make it out of this mess.

“Eddy!” A voice screamed out from below.

Eddy turned to meet eyes with his brother who was down below with his leg snagged under a golf bag. His brother. The man who always got his way no matter what looked scared. He kept struggling to get himself out but nothing worked.

He’d never be seen or heard from again. Eddy would never have to fear if he were out there wanting to kill him.

“Help, please! Please, Eddy!” A tear escaped from his eye.

Eddy leaped down from the ceiling hearing Edd scream his name.

Eddy belted across the conveyor belt having jumped inches away from the shredder. He fell to his knees immediately trying to move the heavy bag off him.

“Thank you,” His brother said to him. And he meant it. There was no tone which said that he tricked him. For the first time fear resided in his brother's face. Eddy never thought change was real until now.

The bag was tougher to move then he thought. As Eddy struggled to move it he could hear Edd’s voice from above telling him to hurry. Don’t look back, don’t look back, Eddy kept telling himself. The shredder grew louder by each second.

All of a sudden there was someone else next to Eddy lending a helping hand.

Eddy and Kevin had no time mince words trying to lift the heavy bag off from Eddy’s brother.

Spotting a golf club they were able to lift the golf bag and Bro crawled out.

Seconds before they met their inevitable doom they were magnified to the ceiling once more.

Eddy looked at his brother who was still feverishly looking back at the shredder. And then he turned to Eddy giving him the most thankful smile. It actually made Eddy feel all warm inside.

“Thank you, little bro.” He said giving Eddy’s a hand a tighter grip.

Kevin could only grunt. The only reason he dropped down from the ceiling was Eddy’s sake. Not that man. Whenever he looked into his eyes there was complete evil. A part of him knew this was only a trick to capture them again. His mood soon changed when he looked around at all the vacant metal the kids used for safety.

“Where did everyone go?” There was a great amount of fear in Kevin’s voice.

Eddy’s heart was going to burst when a familiar voice came from below.

“Down here, Eddy!” Ed shouted out on a new conveyor belt.

Kevin was hesitant to let go of the golf club especially with Eddy’s brother now tagging along. They fell through the air until landing in shredded material below.

“Oh, Eddy!” Edd was practically crying as he held Eddy in his arms. Ed hugged his friends closely. After all the calamities and darkness that happened in the past years the three of them were never to be separated. They remained together going to fight the darkness together.

Noticing Eddy’s brother looming over them Edd was afraid to say something. He locked them in his basement for three days threatening to kill them if they as dared shouted. His brother wouldn’t make eye contact with any of them.

Eddy finally remembered the moment before he was knocked out. He snuck up the stairs only to hear his brother crying in thick, heavy sobs. And that’s why Eddy stopped his escape. There was something more to his brother. He was hiding, knowing how messed up his mind was. Nobody to help because he refused it.

Reaching out, Eddy took his brother's hand and give it a squeeze.

Bro looked at their hands together. He almost looked angry, but didn’t take it away.

“Guys, look!” Jonny called out. “I can see daylight, Plank!” Jonny said to the block of wood. “We’re gonna be okay!”

The group was relieved celebrating to themselves. But, there was something off about the glowing light at the end of the tunnel.

It was red mixed with a bright orange. A rather warm heat was heating up the claustrophobic tunnel. And then they heard noises none of them wanted to hear.

Flames!

“It’s an incinerator! Run!” Kevin screamed.

Running away would have been a lot easier if they weren’t on a conveyor belt moving faster in the opposite direction. The group ran as fast as they could trying to run back through the dark tunnel. Neither way seemed safe. None of them had any idea if the way they came would bring them to safety.

The scraps of garbage made it harder to run and their were hidden little barricades which kept the trash separated in piles.

Kevin grabbed Nazz’s hand the instant she slipped up. They looked into one another’s eyes.

“Run fast or the demons of flames will nab us all”

In the corner of his eye Eddy saw his brother slip up and disappear from his eye. Instead of turning back to see if he was okay he held Edd’s hand a little tighter. He and Ed held Edd who was stumbling along due to his twisted ankle.

“Eddy!”

Eddy turned around to see his brother clinging to a ladder. He pointed to a flashing red light above.

Letting go of Ed’s hand and letting himself be taken by the motion of the conveyor belt he pushed his brother to the ladder. Now they were all inches away from falling into the fiery room as his brother climbed each step.

And then his brother stood on flat land standing inches from the flashing red button which would turn off the conveyor belt.

“Just push it! Push it!” Eddy screamed along with the other kids.

And then his brother made that smile. A smile so dark and pure evil that was enough to make you freeze up in terror. No, it was all just an act.

“Where’s your brother now, pipsqueak.” And with that he ran off.

“No! Ma-”

And then the kids found themselves falling through the air. The entryway grew smaller and farther away. They landed hard in the many bits of trash which surrounded them. They practically rolled all the way down the steep mountain until coming to a stop.

There wasn’t much time to recover seeing as they were looming closer to the incinerator engulfing flames about a hundred feet away.

The kids wasted no time trying to hike through the mounds of trash racing their way to the top. They were such a distance away from where they could get out. Escape was going to be a more difficult process. For now, they had to climb up to the edge of the walls where they could be safe.

They barely moved from their spots. It was just like the conveyor belt only a much worser fate in front of them.

Jonny got trapped in a tidal wave of trash which took him past the group. Kevin reached out to take his hand only to slip up and taking everyone back with them in the ricochet of trash falling.

The hungry flames kept pulling the kids into its empty stomach. The heat was enough to make their skin burn.

“Eddy!” Edd screamed snapping Eddy out from his thoughts. When Eddy turned around he was met with a frightened, shaking boy. “What do we do?”

Eddy’s heart shattered. He opened his mouth to answer. Nothing. Eddy lead his friends through any danger. But, now… it was impossible.

Eddy caught sight of Edd’s shaking hand.

He reached out and gently wrapped his hand around his.

Edd looked at him with questioning look.

There wasn’t much Eddy could say, instead of through his eyes.

Eddy witnessed Edd make the most unsettling face. It was enough to break Eddy’s heart fearing that he wasn’t thinking hard enough. It was a miracle if anyone escaped from here.

Instead of anger his hand was gripped tighter.

Ed was struggling to hold balance in the slippery trash. His heart was pounding.

And Edd reached out to take his hand. Ed calmed down relaxing in whatever way he could.

Nazz witnessed this heroic move. Turning up to Jonny she held out her hand. Jonny took it and offered a hand to Rolf. It was tough for the son of a shepherd to accept it as he was not one to give in so easy.

Kevin was still fighting his way through the trash when he stopped to notice his friends quietly sitting and holding hands.

Kevin and Eddy locked eyes.

No words were expressed as Eddy offered his hand.

Kevin couldn’t believe his eyes. They couldn’t give up. The top of the incinerator was so far away. There was no way they could make it unless they kept going.

Kevin reached out and grabbed Eddy’s hand.

‘Kevin, I’m sorry I trusted him. It’s my fault. Please, forgive me.’

As if Kevin could hear his thoughts he gave his hand a squeeze.

And Kevin took Nazz’s hand to complete the chain.

Now they were looming closer towards the flames ready to accept their fate together.

So much undone, unsaid. It should not end like this. None of them deserved this.

The kids hearts pounded holding one another’s hands tighter. Nazz gripped Jonny’s hand a little tighter apologizing for the years she ignored him. What made this doom a little better was that they were all together. Yes, the cul-de-sac kids grew up together each getting to know one another. Through thick and thin they’ve helped one another through their demons.

Nazz placed her head against Kevin’s shoulder. They messed up their time as a couple all because of a stupid bike. In these last few seconds they could be a couple protecting one another.

Ed’s eyes closed, tearing up. Although he wanted Sarah here it was best that she was somewhere safe. He prayed that she was still alive going to carry on with her life.

Taking his eyes off the flames Eddy looked at Edd who was hyperventilating.

All the wasted years.

Closing his eyes and held Edd’s hand to his chest.

Something bumped against his body. It was Edd’s head cuddling into his shoulder.

It wasn’t the awful thought that they were going to die that made Eddy so emotional. Sitting in the trash in which surrounded them Eddy held his own head against Edd’s in whatever way of comfort. In the seconds before they were about to be engulfed in the flames Eddy realized he never came true to his feelings.

I love you, Edd. Holding Edd’s hand tighter he vowed to keep him safe until the very end.

Just when they thought all hope was lost a light shined over head.

Looking up a huge crane came down picking them up along with a whole pile of trash. and they rose through the air away from the danger.

And the crane stopped next to a big window.

“We did it, Sarah!” Jimmy yelled.

“Told you all those video games would come in handy!”

The kids had never been so happy in their lives. Kevin looked back at where their life was about to end only seconds ago. The fire engulfed the trash belching flames in the process. He couldn’t help but laugh.

They were gently dropped to the ground taking everything in.

“Rolf will never make fun of a cellar again.” Rolf spoke having never experience anything more horrifying compared to this.

As Kevin helped Nazz to her feet, Edd and Eddy sat up.

They noticed something odd.

Their hands were still hooked together.

Eddy met eyes with Edd who was smiling so timidly at him. Giving a knowing smile Eddy gripped Edd’s hand a little tighter.

Running feet were heard. “Are you guys okay?” Sarah asked immediately wrapping her arms around her brother.

Ed scooped his sister into a big hug. “We are now. Thanks to you.”

Eddy walked up to Sarah still holding Edd’s hand. “Yeah, thanks.”

And Sarah and Eddy hugged. They were going to be friends after years of being enemies.

“Hey, where’s that brother of yours?” Jonny called out rolling his hands into fists.

“Yes, Rolf would like to loosen his…”

“Forget it,” Eddy spoke. He was still holding Edd’s hand as they climbed down from the mound of trash. “He isn’t worth it.”

Revenge wouldn’t do anything. What was important was that they were alive to live another day.

It was a new beginning.

[eenefangirlanalysis]

Luck has not been on anybody’s side today.

The Eds duck boat has crashed in swamp like area. 

I have been waiting months to analyze this scene! I am so excited! I hope all of you are too. This is one of my most talked about scenes in the movie. 

The swamp scene is one of the first eene scenes I have ever analyzed. In total I have analyzed the swamp/fight scene three times. Each time I find a new observation. That was two years ago. If you go back to that analysis and compare it to how they’re set up now you’ll see the evolution.

The duck boat’s beak is bopping up and down in the water imitating a Drinking Bird.

Edd and Eddy are standing off to the side on a log. How they’re not wet, I’m not sure. Eddy’s shirt doesn’t appear to be wet. So, why is it off?

Hmm, maybe he’s trying impressing Edd?

Eddy asks, “Where’s your fauna now, Mr. Duck Boat?” Once again he is blaming Edd for yet another mishap. He not going to blame himself. Eddy has already silently blamed himself for many other situations.

Edd rather calmly states that the collision was unavoidable. He claims that the current is what caused them to go off course. The water doesn’t appear to be moving in rhythms like a stream at all throughout this scene.

I have a different head canon on how this crash happened.

As we find out later they’re very close to a road. And Edd also knows that there is a dock close by when he walks away from his friends. Edd took hold of the wheel believing they could take another route. Eddy disagreed. Eddy faught with Edd over the wheel knowing a faster route to Bro’s place or was only trying to slow them down once more. They must have fought over the steering wheel until they hit the tree.

Edd is just repressing the argument. He doesn’t want it to happen knowing things will end badly. Edd is always letting things go making him a pushover. Ed and Eddy, and other members of the cul-de-sac, end up taking advantage of this throughout the series. I never understand why Edd takes that because he doesn’t deserve it. 

He doesn’t know how to stand up for himself. Ed and Eddy have showed him how to a degree. His parents were the ones who should have showed him how to be aggressive.

“Unbelievable! All I know is that we’re stuck in a swamp in the middle of no where!”

Wow, look at this location. It actually looks as if the Eds are lost in another part of the world. The artists are amazing when it came to drawing new scenery for the movie. Take a moment to appreciate this whole background of the swamp. It’s a place where nobody wants to be with murky waters, animals lurking in the shadows, and possible bogs.

When I found out that the Eds only walked three towns over I found it quite unbelievable. Then again, we have do idea what the Eds world looks like as we have spent the most time in their neighborhood.

None of the kids took the opportunity to explore. Their parents didn’t encourage it either. Kids don’t have a sense of direction.They rely on their parents to take them where they’re going. No adays people have been relying more on technology to get them where they need to go. 

I never started driving until I was twenty years old. Although I waited to get my license I never took the time to study towns or the highways near me. I have encouraged you all before that if you feel scared to drive it’s okay to wait. Study maps! You need to know where you are going so you don’t stay stuck in one place. 

For all the Eds know maybe they have driven through this area before. Look off to the left at those trees. They’re not in as bad of a predicament like we think. 

Still, this area could be dangerous. The murky water, the forest of animals, and it could be polluted as well.

AND IT’S RIGHT NEAR THE FACTORY!! I just realized this the other day. Kevin and Nazz fell into the pipe and then they’re shot out into the swamp!! I have no idea how I didn’t realize this until now.

The sky plays such an important role in this movie. The evening is crawling closer. The Peach Creek streams must lead into this murky area. They’re still in Lemon Brooke. One town over from Peach Creek.

“Big Bro ain’t gonna be impressed.” Eddy remarks as he ties his shirt around his head. He’s turning himself into a safari warrior.

Eddy wants to impress his brother by showing him how he became a great mirror image. He has been doing this the whole series and maybe even beforehand. Eddy has no idea if Bro is coming back. And he’s never wished for Bro to come back. 

Ed... Pass it On was such an important episode. Eddy created that ruse in order to get respect. But, when asked if his brother is ever going to arrive Eddy is silent. And when he believes that Bro is standing before him he is scared out of his wits. 

Eddy never thought about his past or the relationship he had with his brother until this past year. He’s thirteen now. Eddy is at that age where he is growing up and trying to figure everything out. The Bro situation does come in at a perfect, yet unrightful time. Eddy has been in denial for years about who is brother is. This inner predicament delays Eddy of trying to figure out who he is. If this journey never happened, who would Eddy be? 

In season 6 Eddy had a full turn around caring more about his withering friendship that almost came to an end. He forgets scams entirely. I know something must have happened within the season 6 episode which were scrapped. Eddy is going through yet another identity crisis fearing that he fails Bro.

It’s mainly due to turning thirteen.

Edd is stunned at what he just heard.

This screenshot is cute. Eddy whacks the second mosquito away from him.

Honestly, I think Eddy was saying this comment more to himself. Since Edd was named the leader in finding this ambiguous being he is done with all the questions. 

A few seconds ago he was feeling guilty over letting Eddy down. That’s one of his worst fears. And whenever he lets someone down he hates upon himself. We all know how Edd’s parents have been affecting him. And Eddy’s constant nagging, badgering and dragging his friends all around have not helped matters.

Ed and Eddy are the only ones who take notice of his achievements. His parents never seem to acknowledge Edd. Their relationship is suggested to be at a worse. The sticky notes have been increasing. 

Edd relies on his friends for advice and to know that he is doing the right thing. Edd starts to rely on himself during season 5, but he realizes it takes him in a negative direction. He almost abandoned his friends because he was going to take advice from the kids.

He doesn’t have the confidence to rely on himself. The dodgeball incident ruined his mindset. He doubts himself because of how one of his inventions hurt people and made his life change.

Edd gains confidence throughout this scene which leads to his stand up against Bro at the end of the movie.

Edd confronts Eddy, “Is that what you think? That I'm here to impress your brother? That I would forsake my home and family for something as trivial as–"

I notice whenever Edd is giving Eddy a lecture he tends to tower over him. Yeah, Edd, you be aggressive. Don’t let your friends walk all over you.

Edd has bitten his tongue so many times throughout the series, but here he is done. He is finally standing his ground. He believes the only reason Eddy keeps Edd around is so he can track things down.

Meanwhile, Ed is having his own fun and jumping off the rocks into the murky water. 

“BUTTERED TOAST!”

Although it seems like Ed is having his own fun and slacking off I think he is trying to distract Edd and Eddy. He notices their bickering and has been nonstop throughout the movie.

He worries of their friendship coming to an end. Ed is the reason why Edd and Eddy have stayed together. He has stopped their bickering before. The sad truth is that there is always going to be tension gloating through the air. Edd and Eddy are the ones who need to make amends, not Ed. Ed is the one who just has to see through to it in order to make sure they will talk things out.

The distraction does little. Although Edd and Eddy’s facial expressions are similar for a few seconds. 

Is Ed really swimming in this murky water? Edd and Eddy have a lot more in common then one thinks. Even when it comes to hygiene.

Eddy smacks another mosquito away.

They only come after him while they’re in the swamp.

Ed’s distraction brings up another lecture Edd wants to discuss about Ed and Eddy’s immature behavior.

It’s true that Ed and Eddy have been having their own fun while on the journey, but they have been wasting time. Edd wants to find Eddy’s brother, but Eddy hasn’t been making an effort to find his idle.

Edd never says anything about this. Things are always flying over Edd’s head. Post BPS, he is going to realize how many signs he missed about Eddy mentioning his brother in the past.

Edd feels as if he tagged along only to be constantly ridiculed. The movie is where Edd feels as if has been used his entire life. Eddy uses him to find their way to Bro, which miraculously happens, and he and Ed are constantly teasing him because he is naive.

“I’m sure your brother would like to hear about that.”

Oh, if only Edd knew.

Look at that angered face Eddy gives Edd.

Bro never cared about behavior. Eddy is still in denial, but he knows that Bro was a bad person in the past.

When wanting to find Bro a part of Eddy believes that he has changed. I don’t blame Eddy for thinking that because it’s been years since he last saw him. 

And Eddy really doesn’t want anybody else talking about his brother. He wishes that he could have told people the truth a long time ago instead of taking the path where he lied about everything. It resembles the scene earlier in the cow field where Edd was speaking highly about Eddy’s brother. Eddy has to keep a straight facing fully knowing all these facts are not true.

[eene-fangirl]

Inciner-ED [An Ed, Edd n Eddy/Toy Story 3 Crossover]

When the kids opened their eyes nothing but darkness impacted their vision. Only little fragments of light which lit up the inside of the dump truck. The kids were safe, but they know Eddy’s brother was somewhere unconscious in the confines of the truck.

“Can everyone hear me?” Kevin called out through the darkness. “Are you okay?”

“Of course not you imbecile, we’re doomed!” Sarah shouted.

Just when Kevin thought they’d never be able to locate one another a huge green light lit up. “Double Dee, these green lights you made really work!” Ed exclaimed having a dozen stored in his pocket.

Kevin instructed for everyone to meet up where Ed stood. They climbed over garbage and the waste. The insides of these trucks were bigger then they thought. Nazz fell against Kevin struggling to keep her balance. The two looked at each other forcing a smile to keep one another calm.

“Are we all here? Jimmy? Sarah? R-”

The kids were knocked off their feet when the garbage truck halted. Everything shook and the darkness seized. Everyone looked up to see more piles of junk come careening into the truck.

“Against the walls!” Kevin ordered. Everyone followed along, all except Eddy was knew something wasn’t right.

“Edd, Edd, where are you?” Even in his amnesia like state Eddy couldn’t forget about the cute boy who had such an infectious smile. He was so smart figuring out calculations in a heart beat.

“Eddy!” A panicked voice echoed from in the far corner of the dumpster. Only his frightened eyes were visible through the trash bags piling all over him.

It was almost like a movie as the kids watched Eddy run and duck through the falling trash. He narrowly missed a couple of glasses which smashed to the ground merely inches from him. When he reached Edd he removed the gigantic bags of trash. He couldn’t stand however as his ankle twisted from the fall into the garbage truck.

Before Edd knew it Eddy was carrying him bridal style and racing to the sides of the walls for safety.

Edd stared deep into Eddy’s blue eyes feeling himself blush from the comradery. Interlacing his arms around Eddy’s neck Eddy turned to look at him giving him such a smile. Edd thought he lost Eddy, but he was still there. 

No. No, this wasn’t him. Yes, Eddy would rescue him and help him whenever he was in danger. His brother whacked him over the head so hard that Eddy had no idea who any of them were. Or who he was. He remained glued to Edd saying how handsome he was ever since his brother threw him back into the basement. Was that how Eddy felt too?

“Look out!” Ed called out.

Eddy stopped in place. Looking up a big screen TV tipped off the edge of the garbage bin and descended to fall right on top of Edd and Eddy.

It all happened so fast.

Edd was thrown to the side as Eddy lay on the ground from getting smashed by the end of the TV.

“Eddy!” Edd bellowed.

The garbage truck was dark once more. The only light there was was the green glow of lights Ed had stuffed in his pockets.

The kids all surrounded their fallen comrade as Edd was almost violently shaking Eddy to wake up.

“Eddy, speak to me! Are you alright?” Edd begged for him to answer. Eddy lay motionless with his head bleeding. It wasn’t much blood, but Edd covered it anyway for safety. Ed joined Edd by his side holding his friend by the shoulders. Edd was growing more hysterical each moment the longer Eddy wouldn’t move or say something.

Kevin was beside himself. He made a promise they were all going to get out of their together. Before Eddy received amnesia he told Eddy how this predicament was all his fault. And then he snuck off to save himself. If Kevin didn’t leave would Eddy have received amnesia. Or would they even be here now. He was never going to forgive himself if Eddy was... no.

“Eddy!” Edd kept on pleading for his friend to wake up. Edd’s screams of despair made everyone tear up.

“This better not be another joke! I never received a chance to tell you!” And Edd buried his face into Eddy’s chest sobbing. These feelings had been present for years and he had no idea if Eddy felt the same way. He needed to face the horrible truth that Eddy was...

To everyone’s relief Eddy started coughing and then moaned about his injured head which had been given two hard hits in the past day.

“Ugh, sockhead did you cut the cheese?”

Edd never felt so relieved in his life that he started laughing. Eddy looked at him as if he were bonkers.

“Oh, Eddy!” Edd flung himself into Eddy’s arms hugging his dear friend. He could hardly contain himself as he jumped all around kicking his feet in the air. “You’re back! You’re back! You’re back!” He exclaimed countless times.

Eddy was perplexed. Not just because Edd was on top of him holding him so tightly, but because of where they were. This wasn’t his brothers basement. The last thing he remembered before blacking out was... was... what?

“Yes, I’m back,” Eddy answered still confused. Before he could ask where he’d been the mood in the dump truck took an even more perplexing turn when Edd laid a big wet kiss on his cheek.

Edd and Eddy stared at one another with wide eyes. Eddy could feel something warm against his chest. Edd had placed his hand on his heart. Both their cheeks flushed, but they didn’t seem to mind. It almost felt as if they were picking up where they left off before he was going to try and break out from the basement.

“Forgive me, Eddy. I don’t know what came over me.” Edd spoke in a rushed voice taking his hand away from Eddy’s chest.

“S’okay, uh... where are we?”

“In the garbage truck on the way to the dump!” Jonny announced as if it were the most exciting thing ever.

Eddy had a billion questions swarming his mind, but they had to wait when the garbage truck came to a stop.

Everything was eerily quiet for a few seconds. Nothing had been quiet in the three days they all remained locked in Eddy’s brother’s basement. The instant they wished for a sound wasn’t the right wish as the lid of the garbage truck opened. The floor in which they were standing on ascended.

“Hold on, we’re going in!” Kevin shouted holding onto anything that wouldn’t give way. They were all dumped out landing in piles of rubbage. They were practically submerged beneath trash fighting their way out as if they’d been caved in by an avalanche of rocks.

“Kevin, the trash mouth on wheels is leaving!” Rolf shouted in the instant he crawled out from the rubble.

Nobody had time to grab the attention of the garbage truck driver. They were on their own to get out from this junk yard. It was a tougher journey then expected as they had no idea where they were. If it were the junkyard from back home they’d know it like the back of their hands.

“Look, it’s a crane!” Sarah pointed out. “A crane always means that’s where the junk yard opens up.”

“Sarah’s right, let’s go.”

Sarah and Jimmy were already running off blind to where they were going.

“Sarah, come back! Don’t wander off!” Ed called out.

The ground started rumbling under their feet. The tractor came through so quickly. Sarah and Jimmy’s screams were heard as no one had time to catch the tractor picking them up with the other junk. Ed screamed for his baby sister wanting to run to her.

Another tractor was on the trail. Before anyone could think to run they were scooped off their feet bent sent against their will to a dark open crevice. How could the person working the tractor not see them?

“Hang on!” Kevin called out. He didn’t know how much that saying would help. The next thing the kids knew they were falling into a dark hole.

It was a tunnel. They were on a conveyor belt slowly moving into the darkness.

“Kev, what do we do?” Nazz called out.

“It’ll be okay if we stay...”

Rolf yelped upon being pulled off his feet. The metal from his horse shoe necklace hooked to the ceiling. Anything metal was attracted to the ceiling. It was a much faster conveyor belt above them carrying Rolf away from them. The kids raced after their friend trying to stay together.

“Don’t worry, Rolf! We’ll get you down!” Kevin had no idea how they would, but up until now they had varying luck throughout their capture.

Rolf’s eyes grew at what he saw at the end of the tunnel. “Look beyond what you see.”

The piled of trash were so high that they could have been skyscrapers. If the kids didn’t see their destination they’d be lost due to the shredder ripping apart anything in its path.

“Grab something metal!” Edd screamed. He took hold of a hammer while the others grabbed any metal object. A pot, a cheese grater, and even metal lunch box. Once they were on the ceiling they held for dear life as they drew nearer to the shredder. All seemed calm knowing they were going to make it out of this mess.

“Eddy!” A voice screamed out from below.

Eddy turned to meet eyes with his brother. His brother. The man who always got his way no matter what looked scared. His leg was snagged under a golf bag. He kept struggling to get himself out but nothing worked.

He’d never be seen or heard from again. Eddy would never have to fear if he were out there wanting to kill him.

“Help, please! Please, Eddy!”

Eddy leaped down from the ceiling hearing Edd scream his name.

Eddy belted across the conveyor belt having jumped inches away from the shredder. He fell to his knees immediately trying to move the heavy bag off him.

“Thank you.” His brother said to him. And he meant it. There was no tone which said that he tricked him. For the first time fear resided in his brothers face. Eddy never thought change was real until now.

The bag was tougher to move then he thought.

All of a sudden there was someone else next to him lending a helping hand.

Eddy and Kevin had no time to talk trying to life he heavy bag off from Eddy’s brother. Edd kept screaming Eddy’s name seeing them come closer and closer to the shredder.

Spotting a gold club they were able to lift the golf bag and Bro crawled out.

Seconds before they met their inevitable doom they were magnified to the ceiling once more.

Eddy looked at his brother who was still feverishly looking back at the shredder. And then he turned to Eddy giving him the most thankful smile. It actually made Eddy feel all warm inside. His brother was finally changing.

“Thank you, little bro.”

Kevin could only grunt. His mood soon changed when he looked around at all the vacant metal the kids used for safety.

“Where did everyone go?” There was a great amount of fear in Kevin’s voice.

Eddy’s heart was going to burst when a familiar voice came from below.

“Down here, Eddy!” Ed shouted out on a new conveyor belt.

Kevin was hesitant to let go of the gold club especially with Eddy’s brother now tagging along. They fell through the air until landing in shredded material below.

“Oh, Eddy!” Edd was practically crying as he held Eddy in his arms. Ed hugged his friends closely. The three of them were never to be separated.

Noticing Eddy’s brother looming over them they were afraid to say something. He locked them in his basement for three days threatening to kill them if they as dared shouted. His brother wouldn’t make eye contact with any of them.

Eddy finally remembered the moment before he was knocked out. He snuck up the stairs only to hear his brother crying in thick, heavy sobs. And that’s why Eddy stopped his escape. There was something more to his brother. He was hiding, knowing how messed up his mind was. Nobody to help because he refused it.

Reaching out, Eddy took his brothers hand and give it a squeeze.

Bro looked at their hands together. He almost looked angry, but didn’t bother to take it away.

“Guys, look!” Jonny called out. “I can see daylight! We’re gonna be okay!”

The group was relieved celebrating to themselves. But, there was something off about the glowing light at the end of the tunnel. 

It was red mixed with a bright orange. A rather warm heat was heating up the claustrophobic conveyor belt. And then they heard noises none of them wanted to hear.

Flames!

“It’s an incinerator! Run!” Kevin screamed.

Running away would have been a lot easier if they weren’t on a conveyor belt moving faster in the opposite direction. The group ran as fast as they could trying to run back through the dark tunnel. Neither way seemed safe. None of them had any idea if the way they came would bring them to safety.

The scraps of garbage made it harder to run and their were hidden little barricades which kept the trash apart.

Kevin grabbed Nazz’s hand the instant she slipped up. They looked into one another’s eyes.

“Run fast or the demons of flames will nab us all”

In the corner of his eye Eddy saw his brother slip up and disappear from his eye. Instead on turning back to see if he was okay he held Edd’s hand a little tighter. He and Ed held Edd who was stumbling along due to his twisted ankle.

“Eddy!”

Eddy turned around to see Bro clinging to a ladder. He pointed to a flashing red light above.

Letting go of Ed’s hand and letting himself be taken by the motion of the conveyor belt he pushed his brother to the ladder. Now they were all inches away from falling into the fiery room as his brother climbed each step.

And then his brother stood on flat land standing inches from the flashing red button which would turn off the conveyor belt. 

“Just push it! Push it!” Eddy screamed along with the other kids.

And then his brother made that smile. A smile so dark and pure evil that was enough to make you freeze up in terror. No, it was all just an act.

“Where’s your brother now, pipsqueak.” And with that he ran off.

“No! Ma-”

And then the kids found themselves falling through the air. They landed hard in the many bits of trash which surrounded them. They practically rolled all the way down the steep mountain until coming to a stop.

There wasn’t much time to recover seeing as they were looming closer to the incinerator engulfing flames about a hundred feet away.

The kids wasted no time trying to hike through the mounds of trash racing their way to the top. They were such a distance away from where they feel out. Escape was going to be a more difficult process. For now, they had to climb up to the edge of the walls where they could be safe.

They barely moved from their spots. It was just like the conveyor belt only a much worse doom behind them.

Jonny got trapped in a tidal wave of trash which took Jonny past the group. Kevin reached out to take his hand only to slip up and taking everyone back with them in the ricochet of trash falling.

The hungry flames kept pulling the kids into its empty stomach. The heat was enough to make their skin burn.

“Eddy!” Edd screamed snapping Eddy out from his thoughts. When Eddy turned around he was met with a frightened, shaking boy. “What do we do?”

Eddy’s heart shattered. He opened his mouth to answer. For once he didn’t have a plan. Eddy lead his friends through any danger. But, now... it was impossible.

Eddy caught sight of Edd’s shaking hand.

He reached out and gently wrapped his hand around his.

Edd looked at him with questioning look.

There wasn’t much Eddy could say, instead of through his eyes.

Eddy witnessed Edd make the most unsettling face. It was enough to break Eddy’s heart fearing that he wasn’t thinking hard enough. It was a miracle if anyone escaped from here.

Instead of anger his hand was gripped tighter.

Ed was struggling to hold balance in the slippery trash. His heart was pounding.

And Edd reached out to take his hand. Ed calmed down relaxing in whatever way he could.

Nazz witnessed this heroic move. Turning up to Jonny she held out her hand. Jonny took it and offered a hand to Rolf. It was tough for the son of a shepherd to accept it as he was not one to give in so easy.

Kevin was still fighting his way through the trash when he stopped to notice his friends quietly sitting and holding hands.

Kevin and Eddy locked eyes.

No words were expressed as Eddy offered his hand.

Kevin couldn't believed his eyes. They couldn’t give up. And yet the top of the incinerator was so far away. There was no way they could make it unless they kept going.

Kevin reached out and grabbed Eddy’s hand.

‘Kevin, I’m sorry I trusted him. It’s my fault. Please, forgive me.’

As if Kevin could hear his thoughts he gave his hand a squeeze.

And Kevin took Nazz’s hand to complete the chain.

Now they were looming closer towards the flames ready to accept their fate together.

So much undone, unsaid. It should not end like this. None of them deserved this.

The kids hearts pounded holding one another’s hands tighter. Nazz gripped Jonny’s hand a little tighter apologizing for the years she ignored him. What made this doom a little better was that they were all together. Yes, the cul-de-sac kids grew up together each getting to know one another. Through thick and thin they’ve helped one another through their demons.

Nazz placed her head against Kevin’s shoulder. They messed up their time as a couple all because of a stupid bike. In these last few seconds they could be a couple protecting one another.

Ed’s eyes closed, tearing up. Although he wanted Sarah here it was best that she was somewhere safe. He prayed that she was still alive going to carry on with her life.

Taking his eyes off the flames Eddy looked at Edd who was hyperventilating.

All the wasted years.

Closing his eyes and held Edd’s hand to his chest.

Something bumped against his body. It was Edd’s head cuddling into his shoulder.

It wasn’t the awful thought that they were going to die that made Eddy so emotional. Sitting in the trash in which surrounded them Eddy held his own head against Edd’s in whatever way of comfort. In the seconds before they were about to be engulfed in the flames Eddy realized he never came true to his feelings.

I love you, Edd. Holding Edd’s hand tighter he vowed to keep him safe until the very end.

Just when they thought all hope was lost a light shined over head.

Looking up a huge crane came down picking them up along with a whole pile of trash. and they rose through the air away from the danger.

And the crane stopped next to a big window.

“We did it, Sarah!” Jimmy yelled.

“Told you all those video games would come in handy!”

The kids had never been so happy in their lives. Kevin looked back at where their life was about to end only seconds ago. He couldn’t help but laugh.

They were gently dropped to the ground taking everything in.

“Rolf will never make fun of a cellar again.” Rolf spoke having never experience anything more horrifying compared to this.

As Kevin helped Nazz to her feet, Edd and Eddy sat up.

They noticed something odd.

Their hands were still hooked together.

No, they didn’t panic or take them away. They were meant to be together.

“Together?” Edd asked blushing.

“Together.” And Eddy wasted no time smashing their lips together as the same with Kevin and Nazz.

Running feet were heard. “Are you guys okay?”

Ed scooped his sister into a big hug. “We are now. Thanks to you.”

Eddy walked up to Sarah still holding Edd’s hand. “Yeah, thanks.”

And Sarah and Eddy hugged. They were going to be friends after years of being enemies.

“Hey, where’s that brother of yours?” Jonny called out.

“Yes, Rolf would like to loosen his...”

“forget it.” Eddy spoke. “He isn’t worth it.”

Revenge wouldn’t do anything. What was important was that they were alive to live another day.
