EDDSWORLD FANFIC: The Misadventures of the Red Army

Chapter 17: Eduardo P.1

Athena unlocked the door after getting back from the store. Celestial was asleep on the couch. Athena was setting down the bags when the door creaked open. '' Damn it, Ringo! '' Athena said, chasing after the cat that got out of the house. Athena picked up the cat only to be interrupted by someone on the other side of Edd's fence. '' I guess it's true. You really are here. '' Eduardo said. '' Eduardo?! What the hell are you doing here?! '' Athena exclaimed. Athena knew Eduardo from him trying to kidnap, rape, and hit on her all the time. '' The real question is, what are you doing at a loser like Edd's house? '' Eduardo said, leaning on the fence. '' If you must know, Edd is my brother. '' Athena said, carrying Ringo into the house. Eduardo jumped across the fence and stopped the door from closing. '' Hey. You aren't going anywhere. I wasn't talking to you just because we're ' friends '. '' Eduardo said, pushing the door back open. Athena put Ringo down and started to shove the door closed. '' If I don't pay rent this week, Jon, Mark, Jord, and I are gonna get evicted. '' Eduardo said. Athena raised an eyebrow. '' Who's Jord? '' Athena asked curiously. '' He just graduated from health school last week but somebody robbed him of his bachelors money. '' Eduardo said, letting himself inside the house. Celestial's cat ears twitched and she sat up on the couch. '' Athena? Who's the Mexican guy in the polo? '' Celestial said, careless if she offended Eduardo. '' Someone who shouldn't be here right now. '' Athena said, pushing Eduardo out the door, closing the door, and locking it. Tord ran downstairs, half awake. '' What's going on down here? '' Tord said, sleepily. '' Eduardo was trying to get me to pay his rent. '' Athena said, actually communicating with Tord. '' Well if he's gonna waltz up to a former Red Army member then he's gonna have to get a piece of my mind. '' Tord said, opening the door back up and waking outside with a gun in hand.
