Summary: Eddy notices how close Nazz is getting to the new kid, Nat, and determines that it's got to be the crazy hair color. He ropes Edd into helping him dye his hair. However, after a mishap in class, Kevin and Edd decide a hair dye prank is in order. (Nat belongs to c2ndy2c1d)

"What does she even see in him? He's loud and obnoxious!" Eddy complains noisily.

Edd bites his lip against the teasing comment of Eddy being loud and obnoxious. "Maybe Nazz enjoys his company. That's typically a common trait between friends."

"Psh. Friends!? Do you think they're just friends!? There's no way a guy and a girl can be just friends. Never! Get a friggin clue, Sockhead."

"It's exactly that kind of mentality that causes girls to not -"

"IT'S THE HAIR!?"

"What?"

"It's gotta be the hair! That freaking bright-a$$ teal color!"

"Language, Eddy!"

"Whatever. You know I'm right. Nazz's probably getting all friendly with the new kid because of that crazy hair color. It's gotta be it."

"I assure you it's -"

"You're coming this weekend, Double D. I need your help."

Edd sighs heavily to himself. I don't even know why I bother trying to reason with him.

The following Monday, Eddy shows up to school with deep blue hair, though it's barely noticeable at times. You can only see the blue tint in the sunlight, or bright artificial lighting, which the school lacks in most rooms. It also doesn't help that Eddy's hair is so short; there needed to be more hair to hold the dye in the first place.

Eddy, however, thinks that it looks fantastic. He tries to get Nazz's attention more than usual that day, but to no avail.

He immediately blames Edd for it.

Edd scolded him. "I repeatedly told you that dye will not show up in your short, dark hair without bleaching it first. It's not going to be as bright as on the box unless you bleach the hair -"

"Fine. Then bleach my hair then."

Edd groans.

Two days later, Eddy shows up with yellowed hair, an obvious bleach job. Eddy finally managed to get Nazz's attention, but not in a good way.

"Dude. Your hair looks wrecked. What happened?"

Eddy blamed it on Double D, claiming it was a bad science experiment.

Nazz walked off, giving him a suspicious look and nodding. Eddy assumed she believed the lie, but everyone else who saw the interaction knew she didn't buy it for one second.

Meanwhile, Edd was standing near his locker, picking at a spot on his finger.

He startles when Kevin walks up and snatches his hand.

"What happened here?" Kevin said, inspecting the blemish on Edd's fingertip.

"Bleach."

Kevin immediately snaps his head to Eddy. He looks back at Edd. "Don't tell me you..."

"I did," Edd sighs. "Eddy needed help to bleach his hair, and the glove had a hole in it, which I didn't notice until it started to burn."

Kevin let go of Edd's hand.
