Chapter 5: PrankEdd
Summary:
A certain redhead has come upon the perfect prank to pull on Double Dee. He will have all the fun and Eddy will get blamed for it. He would send the Dork sweet messages through texts making the smart Ed thinks someone had a crush on him. Little did Kevin know that those messages would soon be straight from his heart.
Notes:
Nathan "Nat" Kedd Goldberg is such a wonderful and useful character to use, however, he belongs to C2ndy 2c1d nor do I claim ownership of the Ed, Edd & Eddy characters. I only own the plot of this story.
Chapter Text
Kevin was looking at the messenger board while waiting on Nat to come out of the restroom. He noticed one that said 'Tutoring by Edd call and there were some tear-off strips with his phone number. An idea popped into his head about a good way to prank the dork. He looked around and saw no one was looking his way then reached over and pulled off one of the slips and slipped into his pocket.
Just as he stuck his hand into the pocket of his letterman jacket, Nat came out of the restroom. "Damn Dude, you took forever in there."
"It takes time to get all this perfection right," said the spiky teal haired boy. "You wanna go hang at the mall or something? We can check out all da phine booty that passes by."
"Nah, I got something that came up at home to take care if, I'll catch ya later." Smirked the red-headed jock with a sly look in his emerald green eyes."
Nat noticed the look and wondered to himself what the ginger had up his sleeve. He must be trying to hook up with another cheerleader. "Okay Dude, I'll catch you laterz, maybe Rave will be at the mall."
The redhead walked over to his bike and drove off. On his way home, he stopped and bought a prepaid phone. "This ought to get interesting," He thought to himself as he set up the phone. He heard a commotion out in the cul-de-sac and looked out his window at the Eds arguing about something. He opened the window a bit to hear what they were arguing about.
"Eddy, how could you put that note in that girl's locker saying I liked her. I don't even know the girl. I almost died when she called me out on it." Complained Double Dee
"It was just in fun Sockhead, nobody got hurt did they?" laughed Eddy the shortest of the Eds.
"Yes, I got hurt, she slapped me and said she would rather die than date a dork."
"Oh c' mon sockhead get over it. You'll live. You never get so pissy when shovel chin calls you a dork."
"Next time you forge a note from me, do not put the kind of mush you did in that one, I would never say anything like that because those kinds of lines never work."
"What Double Dee, What was so bad?"
"You must have lots of honey, cause you put the "Bee" in Beautiful. Ugh, gag me with a spoon, I would never say that. That's how I know the note was from you. If you ever do such a thing again you can count our friendship over, I've had enough of your stupid scams Eddy." Then Double dork marched into his house and slammed the door.
"Oh boy this is gonna be choice, I pull the prank and the shrimp will get blamed." Kevin fell on his bed laughing. After a few moments of laughing the redhead got up to close the window and saw Eddy still standing on the sidewalk. "Hey shrimp, go home you're are bringing down my property values with your ugly mug."
"Shut it shovel chin or I will kick your ass."
"Yeah right, you and what army? There seems to be trouble in Dorkville and your troops have deserted you." Kevin said slamming down his window.
Kevin sat on his bed looking at the new phone with only one number in it. To make sure the phone was working he dialed his own number when he heard his phone ring he hung up. Then he sat trying to figure out what kind of message to send to the dork. What to say, it had to sound believable and something that the dork would like to hear. The jock thought for a while and then sent the first message Just to get things started.
Unknown: Hey cutie
Double Dee: You must be texting the wrong number.
Kevin looked at the phone when the answer came in. Not what he was hoping for. So he sent another text. He had to think a moment to remember what Double Dork's real name was
Unknown: Isn't this Edd Vincent?
Double Dee: Yes, it is, who is this?
Unknown: That's a secret for now.
Double Dee: Eddy this isn't funny.
Unknown: Not Eddy
Double Dee: If this isn't Eddy, then who is it?
Unknown: to prove I'm not Eddy, I'll say goodnight sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee to they rest!
It was a good thing that Kevin's class was studying Shakespeare in school at the moment.
Double Dee: Eddy's class is studying Hamlet in class at the moment, so that doesn't prove anything.
Unknown: Goodnight, goodnight! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Unknown: "My sun sets to rise again."―Robert Browning
Double Dee: Ok you proved your point, Eddy would never have thought to use Browning. So who is this?
Unknown: You're the smart one you figure it out. If you do I might even let you kiss me.
Kevin sat back and looked at the last message he had sent, Now why did I say that? There's no chance he will ever guess it was me so no need to worry about that. He had to be careful from now on so that the dork couldn't figure out who was sending the messages. He lay the phone on his nightstand and grabbed his own phone and looked at the messages there. One was from Nazz telling him about her latest boyfriend. Two from Nat, going on about meeting up with Rave. He yawned and thought to himself, I'll deal with that in the morning. Damn trying to impress the dork was tiring. He needed to find some more romantic quotes. They couldn't be to egg-headed or the dork would figure it out as being a prank.
He had to make it seem believable and something that someone would actually say to the dork. Ugh, this was going to be harder than he thought.
The next morning he woke up with the sun shining in his eye and the alarm clock was buzzing. He had the perfect quote for the morning.
Unknown: The alarm clock wakes me from dreaming of you. Good morning.
Double Dee looked at his phone, even if he didn't know who had sent this it made his morning a bit better. He smiled as he got dressed for school. He wondered if he should answer the text or just let it go. Somebody was messing with him. Well even if that was the case it did feel good that someone would say that to him. No one had ever told him anything like that. His parents always told him how proud of him they were, but no one outside of the family had said such.
After he had gotten ready for school and had his breakfast he made his way to the education facility. He smiled as he entered the doors and headed towards his locker. Even though he wasn't a popular kid he enjoyed being at the school. Learning new facts was exciting to him. Just as he was opening his locker his phone chimed with a text message. He opened his phone and looked at the message.
Unknown: Apart from being sexy, what do you do for fun?
Double Dee: You're starting to sound like Eddy with that line.
Unknown: It's early and I haven't been up long, so my brain isn't what it should be.
Double Dee: Your earlier message was nice. It made my morning.
Unknown: Just seeing your smile brightens my day. :D
Double Dee: You are looking at me now?
Unknown: Yes, and your cuteness takes my breath away.
Double Dee looked around the hallway at the people around him. People were milling all about him. He saw Ed and Eddy come in the doors at the end of the hall but neither held a phone in his hand. But that was inconclusive evidence one or the other could have stuffed the phone in their pocket as they entered the doors. Red caught the periphery of his vision and he noticed a certain jock that lived in his neighborhood doing something in his locker.
Nazz was standing next to him waiting on him to finish whatever he was doing. Double Dee thought to himself well it certainly can't be him. He isn't smart enough to know Browning and Shakespeare and wouldn't be spouting that off to me anyway. They seemed to be arguing about something as per usual.
