Rating: T

Author's Notes: Well, how was the first chapter? Do you like how it seemed to flow better than the lest story did? I personally think will turn out great…. So, we can all see Double D's dilemma in this story. He thinks things will never change for him, or for anyone in the town of Peach Creak. Even though he is a senior in high school, nothing had changed a;; that much, besides how people look now. But what had changed over the years were the Kanker sisters; Marie to be precise. She's more cunning, more deceitful, and still head over heels in love with Edd. How will things pan out for Eddward and his friends? Well, that's what this chapter is for. Please read and review if liked. I thrive on feedback, and I seriously need my fix. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 2: Life as a Senior

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEE…! SLAM! Double D woke up to the blaring sound of his alarm clock, and as if on total reflex, his hand came slamming down on it. He let out a tired groan, forcing himself to get out of bed. He had trouble doing his final page of homework the night before, for reasons unknown to him. He was up until 8:30pm, working on problems that now, thinking back, weren't that hard. He rubbed his eyes and let out a loud yawn, before pulling out his usual attire from his closet. He looked at his clock again, just to make sure it was the time he wanted it to be. It read 6:30am. And since school started at 7:45am, he had plenty of time to prepare for the ultimately boring day ahead of him.

He walked into his bathroom, barely able to walking in a straight line. Double D was never a morning person. He couldn't concentrate as well and his body was always half asleep. A shower was the only remedy for that. But before he turned on the hot water, there was a knock at the door. "Oh Eddward Honey." It was his mother. She and his father always had to leave for work around the time he gets up. But, on rare occasions, his mother will actually talk to him before leaving. "Your father and I are heading off. Be sure to pack your lunch and brush your teeth." His mother knew she didn't have to tell him that. She knew her son was a genius. But, in a way, it made her feel ore like a parent to talk to him, instead of leaving him piles of sticky notes.

"Thanks mom," Edd yawned, reaching for the shower knob again.

But, like the first time, he was interrupted by his mother's voice. "Oh, one more thing before I leave. Your friends are done stairs waiting for you." Double D's eyes snapped open. "Do make sure they don't make a mess." Then, with that said, he heard his mother walk off. Double D sighed. He was use to having Ed and Eddy showing up at his house early on schooldays. Usually, they do that so they could get answers for the previous night's homework…. But, they also do it just because they wanted to hang out.

Five Minutes Later…

Double D, now clothed and clean, walked out of his bathroom with a comb in hand. Since he started showing off his impressive hair, he found it was essential to keep it nice and tidy…. So basically, it was just another thing for him to fixate over. He walked down stair, combing his slightly damp hair and entered his kitchen. There, sitting at his table, eating his cereal, sat Ed and Edd, joking amongst one another.

Eddy, out of all of the Eds, had changed the most out of all them. He was no longer the shortest kid in the cul-de-sac. On the contrary, now, he was almost as tall as Ed. Not only that, he was nearly as bulky as his older brother was. He still had his head shaved, and had only a few long strands of hair jetting out his head. Only now, he had a few strands of hair going down the back of his head, and curled up at the ends. His face had a little stubble, showing that he had started shaving. He wore a long sleeve white shirt, with a black short sleeve shirt over it. Finally, he had on a baggy pair of blur jeans, and a pair of red sneakers.

Ed, oddly enough, had changed even less then Double D had. He still had the same hair, wore clothes that were similar to the clothes he wore growing up; a green short sleeve jacket, with a sleeveless red shirt underneath. He had, however, started wearing glasses. Apparently, all those years of watching monster marathons up close and reading comics in dim light had finally caught up to him. Though, he didn't mind. Like Eddy, Ed had on a pair of baggy blue jeans and red sneakers.

When Double D entered the kitchen, Eddy smiled at him smugly. "Mornin' Sleeping Beauty," he began, getting a snicker from Ed. Double D rolled his eyes and sat down at the table, after grabbing an apply from the fruit bowl. "You got the answers to last night's homework? Me and Monobrow forgot to do it."

Double D sighed, opened his backpack, pulled out his notebook, and handed it to Eddy. Edd knew he should say "no" and make Ed and Eddy do their own work, but his weak nature forbid him from doing that. "Don't forget to show "your" work, you guys," he said dryly, before taking a bite of apple. "The teacher won't accept just answers…. Makes her think the students cheat or something."

Ed smiled obliviously as he and Eddy jotted down Double D's answers. "But we're not cheatin' Double D," he replied, his voice slightly deeper than what it used to be. "We're just goin' over each other's answers. Isn't that right Eddy?"

"That's right Lumpy," Eddy snickered, with a little bit a evil hanging on his words. "Nothing wrong with working in a group and discussing and sharing the problems and answers, after all." Double D looked at his friend for a second with a raised eyebrow, before sighing and taking another bite of his apple. Eddy was always leading Ed the wrong way, one way or another. But luckily, he was always around to help correct everything.

Finishing up his apple, Edd tossed the apple core in the nearby trashcan. And, after Ed and Eddy had written down the answers, Double D stood up. He looked at the clock that read 7:15am. "Well gentlemen," he said, picking up his backpack and swinging it over his shoulder, "we really should be shoving off. School starts in a half an hour, and I like to get there early."

Eddy sighed as he and Ed deposited their milky bowls in the sink. "Yeah, yeah, we know," he groaned, as he and Ed too slipped on their backpacks. He saw Double D reaching for his car keys in his pocket, and stopped him. "Hold on there, Hamlet," Eddy said, using one of Double D's many nicknames, "you can bum a ride off me. You give answers, you earn miles." That had been a rule with them, ever since they started driving. If Double D gave them answers for work they were too lazy to do themselves, they always offer up rides as a trade. So, Double D allowed a small smile to grace his face, before placing his keys on his counter and following his friends outside.

Eddy's vehicle of choice was none other than the abandoned van from the junkyard. The previous year, after getting his license, Eddy showed the beaten up van to his dad and convinced him to help him rebuild it. It took a few months to do overall. They had to find the right parts, replace the shag interior, replace the waterbed with a large, king-sized mattress, work on the engine, the whole kit n' caboodle. But after it was done with and insured, both Eddy and his dad both thought it was worth the work.

Eddy got into the driver's seat, while Ed got the passenger's seat and Double D got the mattress. After buckling up, Eddy started the van and turned on the radio. Double D groaned when he chose "108.3-Hard Rock" station. Out of all the music he hated, hard rock had to be at the top of the list. But luckily, he had a pair of earplugs on his person at all time. So, he simply put them in and tuned out the obnoxious noise, closed his eyes and enjoyed the vibrations the van made when it ran.

Five Minutes Later…

The Eds rolled into the school parking lot, still having 25 more minutes before school actually started. Eddy turned off the radio, along with the car, and let out a tired sigh. "Yo Monobrow," he said, getting his denser friend's attention, "you think you can spare some cash?" He pulled his pockets inside-out, showing that he was flat penniless. "I need a few dollars for lunch."

Ed nodded. "Sure Eddy," he said happily, reaching into his back pocket. But his smile turned into a frown when he didn't feel his wallet in his back pocket. He tried the other pocket, but it wasn't there either. "Sorry Eddy," he apologized, "I guess I left my wallet at my place."

Frustrated, Eddy banged his head against his steering wheel, causing his horn to go off. "You'd lose you head if it wasn't screwed on tight, Lumpy," he grumbled, reaching for his door.

"Thanks Eddy," Ed thanked, causing Eddy to stop short in confusion. "I always thought my head was attached quite nicely."

"…." Eddy was silent at first, processing what his friend had just said to him. But soon after, Eddy snickered. 'He's dumb,' he thought, opening up his door, 'but he's fun to have around.' But as Ed, Edd and Eddy got out of the van, someone else's voice was heard from in front of them.

"Check it out girls. Our men are finally here. Don't they look cute today?"

Every Ed went stiff at the all too familiar voice. "Kankers…" Eddy growled, as he, Ed and Double D turned. There, standing no more than five feet from them, stood Lee, Marie and May Kanker, all with mischievous smiles plastered on their faces.

May Kanker had changed just as much as Marie had over the years. Her normal red, puffy hair she had growing up was now low long and straightened, going down past her shoulders. Though, she still found a way to have it so that her eyes continued to be hidden from the world. She was taller than both her sisters, but only by a little bit. He wardrobe had also changed. now, instead of the white w/ red polka dots top, she now wore long, white w/ gray polka dotted dress. She said that the dress would "help her bag her man" when asked why she made the change in attire.

Standing beside her to her left was Marie, chewing gum and sending sly looks at Double D.

May stood beside Marie, twirling a lock of her hair around her finger, smiling at Ed with a look that matched Marie's. The blonde had changed her hairstyle halfway through high school. Her hair was now done up in a ponytail, with went down to the middle of her back. She was now a cheerleader, believe it or not. Her normal gray shirt and red shorts were now replaced with pick, long sleeve V-neck and blue skirt that went just below her knees.

Lee, with her hands on her hips, started walking forward towards the Eds, with he sisters following close behind. "What?" She asked, pretending to sound sad. "Isn't my Little Eddy happy to see his girlfriend?"

Standing his ground, Eddy folded his arms across his chest and narrowed his eyes at the red-head, who now only stood a foot in front of him. "Yeah," he said sarcastically, "I'm as happy to see you as much as I'm to see the Grim Reaper himself." Over the years, Eddy had grown a backbone when it came to dealing with Lee. Sure, he was still scared of her and she knew it, but he promised himself he wouldn't allow his fear to show and give her that satisfaction…. But, while he'd never admit it, he did find Lee's change in appearance…less frightening.

While Lee continued flirting with Eddy, May came around and met up with her "boyfriend" on the other side of the van. Ed was pressed against the van door, with May standing before him, blushing and with her hands behind her back, giving her an innocent look. "Hello Big Ed," she practically sang, fiddling with a lock of her hair. "You're looking nice and manly today."

Ed stiffened up, his back against the van and sweat building up on his face. "May," he began, looking around nervously, 'y-you're too close to Ed…. Ed needs his space." May giggled at Ed's lack of vocabulary, reminding her of when they were younger. When she didn't appear to heed his hidden request, Ed gulped. "Double D…. What do we do?" Ed looked to for his hat wearing friend, only to notice he was nowhere to be seen.

"Double D bolted a few minutes ago, Monobrow," Eddy announced, as he and Lee were circling each other in the parking lot, as if two dogs would in a fight. "He ran into the school with his Kanker behind him…. Looks like we're on our own on this one."

Meanwhile, Inside Peach Creak High…

'Why do these things keep happening to me?' Double D thought, inadvertently quoting himself from the evening before. He found himself pinned on the gym floor by Marie, who sat atop his chest and smiling wickedly. She had chased him throughout the entire school, and had finally caught him when he tried to cut through the gym.

Marie looked down at him and giggled. "This never gets old, does it Honey?" She asked, relishing in how much Double D was sweating and how much he struggled to break free from her capture. But, it was all in vain. For, unlike Double D, Marie had perfect grades when it came to Gym Class. So, easily overpowering him, Marie continued. "Remember when me and my sisters would chase you Eds around, before smothering you all with kisses? Those were the days, weren't they?"

As Marie gazed down as him with desiring eyes, Double D's heart started beating faster and his whole body started shaking. Then, in a spark of evil intuition, Marie fluttered her eyes seductively. "In fact," she whispered, slowly lowering her face towards his, "I wonder if it still feels the same…"

As she puckered her lips and slowly closed the gap between them, Double D's eyes snapped open in horror. 'NO!! Not again,' he screamed in his head, as he squinted his eyes shut, bracing himself for the painfully familiar experience he thought they'd outgrown. He pressed his back as close to the gym floor as possible, wishing he could actually sink into the earth and disappear.

RING!!!

The school bell went off, signaling that school had started. The noise started Double D, causing him to open his eyes. His heart nearly stopped when all he could see was Marie's face, with her lips no more than a centimeter away from his…. But then, Edd caught wind of Marie's scent. She was wearing perfume, which had the strong sent of flowers; lilacs to be precise. When that smell was picked up by Double D, for reasons unknown to him, his heart started beating even faster and his face started warming up.

He turned his attention back to Marie herself when he heard her giggle. She than got up, stood over him and bent back down, so her face was once again hovering over his. "Aw well," she giggled, tracing her index finger along the side of his face, "I guess you were "saved by the bell" as they say…. See you next time, Sweetie." Then, instead of the lips, Marie placed a light kiss on Double D's forehead before running off.

But oddly enough, Double D didn't immediately get up after the Kanker was long gone. Instead, he laid there were a few seconds, contemplating what had happened just then. For a split second, Double D's body actually relaxed, despite being mere centimeters from his childhood tormentor. He sniffed the air, and found out that Marie's perfume was now on him, making him smell like a lilac tree. And even though the whole even itself was one Double D didn't want to experience again anytime soon, he reached up and felt his forehead where Marie had kissed him….

For reasons Edd couldn't explain logically, his head was tingling….

Four Minutes Later, in First Period Math…

Double D managed to make it to his first period class right before the second bell went off. Ed and Eddy were already in their seats in the back, with their clothes slightly ruffled, and both with a lipstick smudge on their cheeks. Eddy, with a sour expression, turned to Double D and raised a eyebrow. "Marie got ya too, huh?" Double D couldn't see it, but he knew there was a lipstick smudge on his forehead, just like the ones on Ed's and Eddy's cheek.

Double D sighed and nodded. "Indeed," he answered, taking a seat in between Ed and Eddy. But Edd didn't elaborate further than that, not feeling up to talking right at the moment. Instead, he looked around the classroom, seeing all the cul-de-sac kids he knew growing up.

In the front corner of the classroom, Kevin was sitting next to Rolf, talking about football, motorcycles, and other manly stuff.

Kevin looked very much like he did when they were younger. He was taller, only a few inches shorter than Eddy was. Surprisingly enough, even though he was sorta like a "bully" to Eddy in his younger years, Kevin started backing off when Eddy hit his sudden growth spurt, resulting in him being bulkier than he ever thought possible. He replaced his old cap with a dark green cap, which he wears backwards. He also had on a long, green sleeveless shirt, baggy blue cargo pants, and a pair of black and white sneakers.

Double D turned his head slightly to the right and saw Nazz, humming to herself and reading a fashion magazine she had brought from home.

Nazz's appearance had changed quite a bit since her childhood. She had grown a little over the years, almost being as tall as Kevin. Her hair was still in the same style, but was now a little shorter now. She wore a pink, thing sweater, which hung on tightly by her shoulders. She also had on tight blue jeans, and a pair of pink sneakers. While Double D had to admit Nazz was still as pretty as ever, he knew that she had a thing for Kevin, but hadn't really made it known to him.

Finally, Double D looked at Jonny "2X4" sitting a few seats in front of his own.

Despite being taller and losing a lot of weight, Jonny really hadn't changed at all. He still wore gray shirt and the same pair of blue shorts. He did, however, stop bringing Plank wherever he went as of a few years ago. Nobody knows why, though. Jonny had said he didn't need Plank anymore, since he had real friends now. But while everyone else believed him and didn't bother to ask any other questions, Double D knew that wasn't true. One day, while passing Jonny's house, Edd caught a glimpse of the hunk of wood through Jonny's bedroom window, propped up against his computer. He wanted to say something, but decided against it, seeing as Jonny apparently didn't want anyone to know the truth.

Double D opened his backpack and reached around for his supplies. "Hey Dorks!" Ed, Edd and Eddy turned to Kevin, who was leaning back in his desk with a smug look on his face. "I see you guys still have problems controlling your girlfriends. Couldn't outrun them this time?"

Eddy smirked at the comment, seeing it as a challenge. "You could say that," he replied, scratching the back of his neck. "I stood my ground and she ended up catching me off guard when the bell rung…. How about you, Shovel Chin? You have anyone to leave lipstick marks on your face?"

When Kevin blushed and didn't answer, Jonny laughed. "BURN!"

Kevin glared at him. "Stow it, Mellon Head."

Rolf let out a hearty laugh. "Calm yourself, Kevin," he said, patting him on the back, "like the Ed boys, you too will find your maiden. I, the son of a shepherd, also have someone waiting for me when I return to my homeland."

Nazz closed her magazine and giggled. "Well, I think it's cute." Everyone looked at the blond girl in confusion. "How the Kankers still chase Ed, Double D and Eddy around, I mean," she clarified. "Even now, they still follow them around wherever they go."

Eddy raised a eyebrow at Nazz. "It's called stalking," he specified, "which is illegal in most states, if I'm not mistaking."

Nazz turned to Eddy with a sly grin. "If it's illegal, why hadn't you called the police yet?…. Unless you like them stalking you."

Double D sighed when Eddy countered the comment with something clever sounding. Everyday it was like this. When there was evidence that he and his friends had a run-in with the Kankers, it was the talk of the cul-de-sac kids. It was as if this was entertainment to them; a reality love/comedy sitcom or something. As he rubbed the lipstick off his forehead, the teacher walked in and placed her stuff on her desk, officially starting class.

And as Double D and the rest of the class started handing in last night's homework, he let out another sigh. He was still thinking about what had happened minutes before class with Marie. He wondered if things will ever change with him and Marie Kanker.

'Will she ever leave me alone…?'
