"Eddy. Eddward. It's time to wake up!" A hoarse voice called from the other side of the door. Eddward awoken at six in the morning and had gotten ready before anybody in the house was awake. He had been counting his ant farm before the matriarch of the McGee household had called them from behind the door. Eddy, on the other hand, was still sleeping like a log.

"I've been up for quite some time, Mrs. McGee." Double D announced, opening up the door. "But I'll wake Eddy you for you."

"You're a peach," The plump middle-aged woman with a lit cigarette in her hand smiled warmly. "He promised to help me move Matthew's boxes today."

"I'll inform him of his responsibilities." Double D quickly changed the subject to satiate his own curiosity, "Have Mother and Father been found yet?" The sixteen year old inhaled sharply, hoping for a miracle that his beloved parents have been found. Edd's parents went missing after returning home from a business trip. A missing persons report was filed soon after and Eddy's mother agreed to let Edd stay with them until his parents were found. After a month, some of his belongings were moved into Eddy's room.

Eddy's mother sighed, "I'm sorry, Eddward. I wish I can tell you that I know where Marian and Sam are."

"Much obliged," His eyes were downcast, "I want to thank you for your kind hospitality these last six months. I am grateful that you would allow me to live here even though I'm not family."

"Don't mention it, sweetheart," she coughed after taking a puff from her cigarette, "you're a good kid. Shame that my two boys are not as respectful as you are." Edd could only smile, not wanting to badmouth one of his best friends from childhood. Sure, Eddy was foul-mouthed and crass, but underneath that was a guy that cared deeply for his friends and craved acceptance from others.

"Well, I suppose I better get ready. We have a long day ahead of us." Before he could say anything else, she was already heading down the hallway about to do her daily routine. Edd turned towards the sleeping lump that took over three-fourths of the bed that cocooned himself under the purple blanket. Eddy was a bed hog. The fact that Eddy's bed could fit him, Edd, and Ed comfortably didn't matter. Eddy still stretched out his arms and legs when they both went to bed.

"Eddy, wake up," Edd shook his friend from his slumber. Eddy mumbled in his sleep and rolled over on his side. Edd sighed with annoyance at his friend's unwillingness to get himself out of bed. He knew of another way to get his friend out of bed without resorting to painstaking trying to replicate counterfeit money to flash in his friend's face. Edd's fingers ghosted over Eddy's midsection and began their dance as Eddy squirmed and laughed.

"Ah, c'mon Sockhead! It's Saturday! Can't I sleep in today?" Eddy said between laughs, "Alright! Alright! I give! I give up! I'm waking up! I'm waking up! Geez, Sockhead!" Eddy sighed with relief once he stopped being tickled. "Why did you wake me up?"

"Well, Eddy. Your mother wanted to make sure you made good on your promise to help her move boxes for a certain Matthew fellow." Edd explained.

"Uh-huh," Eddy nodded, sneering, "Having him move in would be as fun as having my teeth pulled."

"Why Eddy. I think it's wonderful to have a new house guest. They might want to share the tales of adventures they have taken to various parts of our vast planet. They might also be a poor well-educated soul who is looking to stay here while they complete their degree. Can you imagine hearing chatter about what goes on in college?"

"In your dreams," Eddy rolled his eyes, "you don't know who Matthew is. Do you?"

"I cannot say that I've ever met the guy before," Edd admitted.

"Oh you've met him before," Eddy grinned at the confusion written across the intelligent teen's face. He wrapped his arm around his friend's waist and mimicked the person's voice, "I like you, Girlfriend! You've got spunk!"

Edd paled when Eddy gave his impression of the person that he remembered not to fondly. "Your brother is moving in here?!" Edd shuddered at the memory of Eddy's brother. They had met him when they were 12 years old. After a long day trip of traveling out of the Cul-de-Sac to the amusement park Mondo A-Go Go, they found Eddy's brother by complete accident, thanks to Eddy's lie about his brother being a whaler. Edd, Ed, the Kanker sisters, and the kids of the Cul-de-Sac discovered the truth about Eddy's brother; he was a lowlife that did not think twice about abusing his own little brother.

"Eddy, this might be a dangerous situation. Let's not forget the callous way he treated you when we were both prepubescent boys."

"He hated kids," Eddy shrugged, "but think of it this way, Sockhead. I can still get into his good graces since I'm not a kid anymore."

"I don't know, Eddy. We might need to ask Kevin and Nazz for a second opinion on your brother. They seem to have met his acquaintance before his stellar career as a carnival worker."

"That's a great idea," Eddy replied enthusiastically, getting up from his bed, "we'll ask ol' Shovel Chin what my brother was like before he moved away and find out how to get on my Bro's good side. My folks are going to get the first load while we wait." Eddy pointed out the window towards his parents getting into a rental truck. "Mom told me last night when you were too busy scrubbing the hell out of our bathroom. She and Dad are going to drive the moving truck to my brother's house and pack up his heavy shit. My bro's driving his car here with his smaller stuff. That gives us just enough time to talk to Kevin and get Lumpy to help us."

Eddy began to undress. Even though Edd had seen his friend naked many times since they were toddlers, he tried to avert his gaze away from his friend's bare body. Puberty was a strange thing. Even before puberty, the sight of nude bodies made him extremely uncomfortable. The sight of naked bodies still made him uncomfortable. However, the sight of Eddy's nude body was enough to make his heart flutter and his palms sweat. He stared at the disco ball to distract him from the fact that his friend was in his birthday suit.

"Hey Sockhead." When Edd turned towards the sound of Eddy's voice, his friend was already dressed, "you alright?"

"Yes Eddy. I'm alright." He straightened, trying to give Eddy the false impression that he was nonchalant.

"Eh, whatever," Eddy shrugged. "C'mon, Double D."

Edd followed Eddy out of the house. Over the fence of Eddy's yard, they found Kevin working on his motorcycle. Some things in Rethink Avenue have a tendency of remaining consistent. Kevin's love for bikes was one of them. Kevin wiped the sweat from his brow and peered over the fence at the two teens that were watching him. "What do you two dorks want?"

"Hey Kev," Eddy greeted, chuckling nervously, "I've got a question to ask you."

"If you want to ride my bike, you already know the question to that." All three of them knew that Kevin barely let anyone touch his bikes.

"Pardon me, Kevin," Edd waved at their ginger-haired neighbor, "Eddy is desperately reconsidering trying to reconnect with his brutish brother. You see, Eddy's brother is moving back in with his parents and Eddy is hoping that his brother is more sympathetic towards him since he's not a child."

"Eddy's brother is moving back here?" Kevin's eyes widened and his skin became several shades paler. He looked between Edd and Eddy to see if either of them was trying to trick him. Once he seen that they both were serious, he grimaced. "I'm warning you right now, Dorky. If that psycho lays one hand on Nazz, I'll put that son of a bitch in the hospital."

"Okay Kevin," Eddy rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "So what do you know about my brother?"

"Not much, man." Kevin replied, "My cousin Sasha went out with him for a short while, but shit didn't work out. Other than that, other teens were scared of him. Even the ones that he went out with were scared of him. If he wasn't scaring the shit of people, he was scamming people and chasing tail."

"Thanks Kevin," Eddy nodded, feeling as envious of his brother's life before Mondo-A Go Go just as he did when he considered his brother his hero.

"Don't mention it," Kevin put his bike helmet on and swung his leg over the bike. He revved up the engine. The engine of his motorcycle purred and he gave them a lazy wave. "Good luck dorks! Catch ya later!"

"Well, that went well," Edd smiled awkwardly as he watched Kevin ride off.

"If you say so," Eddy muttered as he started to walk towards Ed's house.

"Eddy, I thought we were going to take the van," Edd ran, trying to keep up with Eddy.

"To go to Ed's house? It's only a couple of houses away," Eddy kept walking while Edd struggled to keep up with Eddy's pace. The house Ed lived in with his parents and his sister his whole life was apple green with a rock pond in the backyard. Sarah was viewing fashion magazines with her friend Jimmy on a couple of lawn chairs. The redhead peered over the magazine to sneer at the sight of Eddy. Ever since the three Eds became more accepted by the other kids of the Cul de Sac, Sarah had treated Edd and her own brother better. However, she still despised Eddy. The feeling was mutual. "What do you want, Fathead!" Sarah screamed at Eddy.

"I'm here to get Ed," Eddy gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to yell at Sarah, "So where is he?"

"Ed went out, you stupid fuck." Sarah had a smug grin on her face, "he went to go see his three girlfriends and he won't be back until after sundown."

"Girlfriend?" Edd asked her incredulously.

"Three of them?" Eddy asked just as shocked as the other teen was.

"Yeah, he has three girlfriends now," Sarah smirked, "Do you?"

"Of course I do, you twerp," Eddy lied.

"You're such a liar," Sarah taunted, "I bet you're a virgin too!"

Jimmy giggled, "Leave the virgin baby alone, Sarah. It's not his fault girls are not attracted to cheapskates who wear cheap cologne and shampoo." The two prepubescent children laughed coldly.

Edd choose to remain quiet. Anything that he would've said to Sarah would've put Ed or them into the danger zone. He noticed that Eddy was trying to keep his cool as well. He had gotten better at his temper since he was 12, but he still blew up on Sarah on occasions. Eddy snorted and turned around to head back to his house with Edd trailing behind him. "That fucking spoiled bitch!" Eddy muttered. "Her and her little ass-kisser boyfriend get on my last fucking nerve!"

A decrepit Camaro was parked outside of Eddy's house next to Eddy's purple van. "Oh no," Edd thought, "Hopefully that's not his car!" Sure enough, a figure came out of the car a second later. A grin revealing a gold tooth greeted them. The person still wore the same red plaid shirt, brown cap, and gray jeans that he had seen the man in when Edd had first him. The only thing that had changed was that the person didn't have their sunglasses and his bright yellow jersey. Instead, the man wore a plain black sleeveless shirt. The man also had a beer in his hand. The devil had come to the Cul-de-Sac.
