Hey there A Weekend Alone fans, I have just posted the first chapter of the (hopefully) anticipated sequel titled [Edd and Marie's New Life in Lemon Brook]. I don't think I am allowed to put a link to the sequel here but its two clicks away, I will give you a small cut from the story as a preview for it though.

*Beep beep* an alarm goes off and a long black haired figure stirs in his bed. *Beep beep* the alarm goes off again and this time the figure reaches out and turns it off before a third set of beeps could sound. Yawning and stretching as he sits up in his bed Edd, also known by his full name of Eddward by anyone with authority and Double Dee by his friends, blinks away the sleep from his eyes. It's been almost three years since that one fateful weekend that lead to the biggest changes the residents of the Peach Creek cul-de-sack have ever seen and today marks the start of the next big changes.

Tossing the covers off and moving to the side of the bed. "Today really is the day." He says yawning again as he recalls the dream he had had. While he slept his mind had recalled the events of that weekend at school years ago.

The Kanker sisters, Lee, Marie and May, had attempted and failed to set Edd and his two best friends, Eddy and Ed, up to be trapped by them for the whole weekend after school one day, and in a last ditch effort the three girls chased the boys around their high school in hopes of trapping them still.

Marie the middle sister, and also the most cunning and clever of the three, chose to chase Edd into a broom closet in the school so she could "have her way with him". But when she tried to leave to get help for Edd after he knocked himself out she discovered that the door was stuck and wouldn't open. It ended up taking Edd's clever problem solving stills to get the door open, but when they did get out of the closet they discovered that the school had been closed for several hours and that they were to be stuck in the school until someone came to find them or open the school on Monday. This had crushed Edd as he had a special event he was going to attend for the weekend. When he had told Marie this it was the first time she had felt regret for what her and her sisters have put the Ed's through and she vowed to show Edd the sides of her she's never shown anyone.

And she did show him, she showed him that she does care for his wellbeing despite what she has put him through. How she has a love for art and is a skilled painter and sketcher, that she has a fear of the dark. She even got him to stop hiding his long black hair under his ski hat, something he has been doing since he moved to Peach Creek.

As they spent time together alone in the school Edd started to develop complex emotions about Marie, on the one hand she was the instigator of most of the strife in his life but on the other she was this blue haired beauty with a secret heart of gold that he was having fun with. After sharing an unplanned by him passionate kiss, their second of the weekend, he needed to put these feelings to the test.

So once they were set free of the school by the principle he asked her out on a date to the mall. They spent most of the day there and by the end he knew he did like Marie. Using all of his courage Edd went against everything Eddy would have advised and asked her to be his girlfriend. Hearing him asks this of her made Marie happier them she had ever been and agreed to his request.

Edd's friends were nowhere near as happy or accepting as Marie was over their relationship but one by one they started to come around. Eddy, being the stubborn person he was, was the last of them to accept it. Because of Edd's relationship with Marie May changed her tactics with Ed, she stopped following the path Lee had lead the sisters down of forcing the Ed's into liking them and tried being nice to him. Edd gave her the advice of trying to talk about comics with Ed, thinking she only wanted a way to talk with him, and because of Ed's massive love for comic books it worked. Eventually May and Ed became friends through their mutual enjoyment of comics and halfway through their senior year they even started dating.

The three sisters also became accepted into the group of friends, mostly due to Nazz inviting them to group hangouts, Eddy even started being friendly with Lee. Eddy and Lee's passive aggressive friendship also lead the two of them into becoming a couple on prom night, to no one's real surprise.

It was on prom night that Edd told Marie that he was going to go to the Lemon Brook Community College. Which she didn't understand why he would choose there, until he asked her to come live in Lemon Brook with him. Again this made her happier them she had ever been and agreed to his request.

That is just a short little bit, please enjoy the full chapter.
