The Big Fight [An Ed, Edd n Eddy What if... Fanfiction]

NOTE: I wrote a what if moment. I always thought what it would be like if Edd and Eddy’s fight took place at the mud pit. It’s funny to think about. The dialogue is still the same, but the imagery is so different when you think about it. Hope you like it!

"Gotcha." Ed and Eddy collapsed with laughter.

“Man, you're such a sap!” Eddy howled into Edd’s blubbering face. “This mud's only ankle deep! Can't sink in it!" Edd stood up, only to absentmindedly step into the mud. It was only ankle deep. The world stopped. A few seconds ago he thought he lost his friends to a bottomless pit of quicksand.

This was yet again another ruthless prank set up by the two people he called his best friends.

He felt as if his whole world was spinning. The laughing wouldn’t stop. It grew louder. The mud was all over his body. The onlt thing anbody ever percieved him as was a naive kid. And Eddy always took advantage of that. “Oh, Double D, you should have seen the...” The instant Edd felt Eddy’s hand touch his shoulder he smacked it awat spraying mud into not just Eddy’s, but Ed’s face too. "Don't you dare touch me!!"

This sudden outburst caught both their attention. Edd was steaming with anger. That’s not how Eddy said he’s react, Ed thought. "A sap?!" Edd said enounciating Eddy's words very clearly. He lunged at Eddy so fast that they slid or slipped in the muddy surface. "Well excuse my sincerity for thinking I lost the only two people I have left in this world!"

Eddy couldn’t help, but snicker as Edd was all covered in mud. "And?" Edd lifted him out from the mud making the boy stand. "It's surprising because you're stubborn, inane desire to shock, sandbag and swindle is what put us here in the first place!"

Edd slipped up slamming face first into the mud. He could just hear Eddy snickering. Edd clutched his head. Why was he doing this? His anger was taking over his mind. "I helped to." Ed called out. Edd picked his head up and shot Ed a glare.

Ed’s courage left him. He backed up, tripping o the bank of the dry land. Edd’s dark side scared him. Edd got back on his feet and flung himself into Eddy’s face. "You and you nefarious scams!" Edd screamed right into Eddy's face. The smile vanished on Eddy's face. He was finally able to take his mind off this morning's events until Edd had to bring it back up. And did he really just insult his scams like his brother always did? "Like you were pickin' daisies!” Eddy growled. He savagely pushed Edd into the mud and tried to hold him down. “You built the stupid thing!" 

This is how Edd always lost. He couldn't let his physical weakness let him lose. Slowly, he lifted Edd off him, found his footing in the mud, and retalliated. "If you had payed attention to what I said and not pushed the red button!"

Edd was smacked with a face full of mud.

Just as Eddy was snickering Edd smacked Eddy against the face with a pile of mud.

Ed emerged from behind a tree to witness the start of a brutal fight between his two best friends. "Stop! I demand you tickle each other right now!" Ed demanded. "Stay out of it, Ed!" Both and Edd and Eddy yelled. What was Ed to do? He was powerless. If he approached them he may start fighting with them. Was his nightmare really coming true? "The evil darkside has consumed them both! Trouble, bad, pain!" Eddy smashed on top of Edd. He was squeezing his neck and trying to push his face under the mud. Why was Edd here? He had barely anything to do with what was going on. Eddy was once again leading him into trouble. "I've had enough!" The next thing Eddy knew, he was laying dazed in the mud pit. Edd kicked him off. That was the first time he ever showed physical strength. Eddy was finally able to think straight again. That wasn't his brother who he thought he was trying to strangle. "I'm returning home!" Edd announced after coughing the mud that went into his mouth. He began untying the rope that was still tied around his waist. Ed scooted over on his knees. "But we can't go home, Double D!" He begged. "I'd rather face my consequences, Ed, then wander aimlessly with a so called friend!" Eddy looked up just in time to see Edd walk into the murky waters away from them. Tears creaped into Eddy's eyes as Ed began to cry. "Say it ain't so..." Each of them knew that some day this would happen, but they didn't think now. "... We are three no more, Eddy. Like hop, skip and no jump..." Eddy blocked out Ed's voice feeling the tears drip from his eyes. Eddy never thought Edd would walk out on them, but this time he had a good reason to. It was his brother. He made him this way. He passed down scams, his sayings, everything into his head when he was only five. By acting like his brother, hesent people away because they hated him. Everyone hated him. And now, his best friend did to, the onewho was there the instant he got hurt and give him advice that he never appreciated. This was all his... Eddy smashed his face into the ground, so angry, to have Ed's annoying speech go through his head. "... like blah, blah without the other blah!" "Fine, go home!!" Eddy screaned bursting into the air. " I don't blame yah, because everything was my fault!" Eddy burst into tears. Edd stopped right when he was about to lift himself up on a dock. "Yeah, you heard me! A foulup, wannabee loser!" Eddy screamed hitting himself over the head. He hated himself. He absolutly hated himself. Everyone in the world thought they'd be better off without him, and they were right. Eddy's cries echoed across the land. Edd turned around. Eddy was crying. He was crying because of him. Just his threatening to leave smashed that wall he'd been trying to crack for years. Eddy really did care about his friends. What was he doing? Was he actually going to walk all the way back to the cul-de-sac on his own? Edd turned back and slowly approached Eddy who was sobbed into his hands. "Eddy?" "What?" Eddy choked through his sobs. Eddy was too upset to think why he heard Edd's voice. Was he trying to rub his leaving in even more? "Your shirt, Eddy." Edd said. Eddy turned around revealing his tear streaked face. "My shirt?" "Are those salt deposits from your lamentation?" The moment Eddy looked down at his shirt, Edd thumped his nose and a whole bunch of mud smeared his face. Eddy stood, so confused as Edd spproached him. "Gotcha." They were quiet, staring at one another. Eddy smiled, once again having tears creep into his eyes. There was no need for words. Eddy was sorry for the prank and Edd was sorry for walking away.

They all began laughing at the sight of one another. They were filthy. Edd and Eddy were suddenly swooped off their feet when Ed picked them up. He too had tears of joy. "We are friends once more guys! To Eddy's big bro's house!" "Not that way, Ed," Edd said stopping his friend. This made Ed slip up in the mud and he fell backwards. “It’s that way.” Edd said pointing in the direction of where the dock was. They followed the dock which lead to a road. Edd hypothesized with all the billboards and pointed Ed in the right direction.

Eddy threw his still mud soaked arm around Edd, suprising him with a big one arm hug. "You heard my pal, Ed." Edd returned the hug and they continued on with their journey. None of them noticed the sun setting. Night was coming upon them. "What would you do without me, Eddy?" Edd said with a sly smile. "Don't milk it, sockhead." Edd said unable to stand all this sappy show of affection. The Eds all learned something in that moment. They were never going to take advantage of their friendship like that again. There was nobody else in the world that they could depend on. What they had was real. In what was only a short amount of time, the Eds were closer then they ever were before.
