(I do not own ed, edd, and eddy. Or any of the references. This is about rev Edd and Kevin)

     A well-known hang out spot for the peach creek high cul-de-sac residents was the ancient looking dammed river about a half mile away. One hot evening the entire neighborhood was there.

     It was amazing really, how much everyone had changed in the years since elementary school. The scrawny irritating girls had hit puberty and weren't nearly as annoying, and had actually gotten quite hot. Jimmy got his braces off and joined cheer with the girls-no surprise there. Rolf had gotten psychotickly stronger and body built while helping his Nana on the farm. Johnny took a big interest in environmental protection and grew dreads. As for Kevin, he was the golden boy star quarterback, with the "Quarterback" body to boot according to what the girls gossepped about.

     However, what was most astonishing was the severe different the Ed's were now. Eddy and his and schemes majored in business administration, Edd was still his chipper, chicken loving self and made top rung on the boxing team. But the strangest was double D. Now preferred to be called Eddward. He still wore his same black beanie with the white stripe. But it hung low on his head casting a menacing shadow on his eyes, and all he ever wore was black jeans, his leather jacket, and a t-shirt. His body had become long and toned from being captain of the swim team.

     Nazz, Sarah, and jimmy splashed in the refreshing water, illuminated by Kevin's trucks headlights. Rolf shouted son a shepherd obscenities as he and Johnny chased down Victor along the muddied riverbank. And the ed's? They all hung out in the back of that old van they had hauled out of the junkyard and scrapped back together. While ed and eddy chatted away at the back Edward lounged in the open doors of the van a cheap beer dangled from his fingertips.

     Kevin sat on the hood of his truck laughing his ass off as Jimmy wrestled the pig in a futile attempt to help Rolf. When a sudden loud cracking silenced all the laughter at once. The only thing to break the eerie silence was the humming of the two lone engines.

     Ed and eddy jumped out first to see what was going on. Then Edward stepped out of the van like a beast hunting prey, a small dust cloud swirled helplessly around his foot. Glaring down the suspiciously still water surface by the cement wall. Stepping out completely He glanced over the waters at the four, pausing for a moment when he met Kevin's eyes, furrowed in concentration as he stood atop the vehicle eyeing the waters. Suddenly another thunderous crack! Then Eddward started barking orders.

     "Everyone out of the water! Now!" The water started wrenching backwards as everyone looked at one another. Kevin slammed on the hood and began screaming as well.

     "You heard the man! MOVE IT!" At once everyone started moving out of the explocive rip tide.

     The ed's had dredged haphazardly in the rapids ushering some other students and everyone out safety. Sarah frantically started screaming as they all whipped around to see Nazz's head drug backwards under water. Panic chaotically began to ensue as Rolf tried to dive after his girlfriend while Kevin, Jimmy and Johnny desperately held him back. Jim shouted over the thrashing waters. "You can't go Rolf!"

     John "he's right man, you'll get swallowed up too!" Rolf jerked against the 3 young men.
"The son of a shepherd does not fear the splishy-splashouty of some water!" Kevin yanked back harder and punched him in the face screaming.

      "Dude think of Nazz! What if you die and she lives." Rolf fell to his knees gritting and holding his face. At that point the Ed's walked up led by Edward. He spoke with urgency breaking the argument.

     "Salutations, jock head, farm boy. Circumstances indicate that if our movements are not accelerated, Nazz will perish." Kevin snatched Edward's collar.

     "You sick bastard! What are you playing at!" Eddward sneered, an evil glint in his eyes. Coy words dripped from his lips.

      "You possess a winch on your automotive, do you not?"

     Within seconds everyone was a clean mobilized unit. Kevin's truck as close to the swampy bank as possible.

    Kevin and Rolf the strongest of them all stood closest to the water. Kevin watched Edward out of the corner of his eye as he quickly peeled away all his layers with deliberate calculation, revealing a long sensuous swimmers body. All that remained on him was a pare of black pants, and his beanie. As he shoved the articles at Jim he growled a warning. "Do not lose them".

He stepped over to Kevin, Rolf argued against him going after Nazz one final time.

      "Why does the sock headed Edd boy go after Nazz!" Kevin glared at Rolf as he ran the metal chord over Edward's smooth delicately rippled abdomen.

     "Captain of the swim team." He spouted back. After securing it firmly around his waist, he looked the threatening shark in the eye. Forgetting that he left his hand there. A cocky smile appeared on Edward's lips.

     "What's the matter pumpkin? Are you worried?" Shocked and a little embarrassed, he shoved by him and readied himself on the bank. Mentally yelling at himself for such weird thoughts in the urgent situation.

     "It will be on full release and we'll feed it-." Kevin started, as he gripped the wire line. "-So when your ready just tug a few times."

     "Affirmative". He gave a sarcastic sailor salute. Then dove to the hellish black cyclone waters.

     The tension was suffocating as they all slowly fed more and more of the chord into the deep water. If felt like hours of feeding and everyone grew more worried by the second. Even Ed soon realized.

     "Eddy, shouldn't Duba-D come back now?" The sly man for once, didn't have an answer. Kevin who heard focused on the rope but had a casual tone.
     "Don't worry lumpy. He'll be fine". He looked at Rolf who was intensely concentrating on the rope. Fears creeping quickly up Kevin's spine.

     When suddenly, it snagged. Everyone held their breath. Then it snagged again and again. Kevin screaming at the top of his lungs.
     "Hit it!" All at once John literally kicked the winch into reverse, as Sarah floored the truck backwards, and everyone else pulled desperately, with lives depending on it. As muck sputtered at the group soon two heads burst forth to the surface.

     Kevin helped a languishing Edward to the bank as Rolf deeply embraced a shivering and naked Nazz. Kevin began to un-hook him. When the dam cracked again. Causing them both to be swept under the water.
