New Times (Fanfic Version)

Stayin' positive

Edd had pretty much killed Lanie. He found out what she had done and he was punishing her for it. No, she wasn't dead...yet. She was just put through mostly the same torture Tom was. Edd was sitting outside on a bench, watching the birds fly by. It was quite peaceful, to him at least. He sighed.
"Hey...you still feeling down?" Matt said as he walked up to Edd and sat next to him, all while handing him a cup of hot chocolate. Edd smiled at him, then looked back up at the sky.
"A little...I'm just...thinking..." Edd said quietly.
"About?" Edd was silent for a bit.

"About...before..." Edd said, turning to completely face Matt.
"Before? What do you mean?" Matt wasn't as stupid as he seemed, but he was still confused.
"About...when it was you, me...Tom and Tord...together...best friends living together! It was..." Edd stopped talking and sighed once more.
"...nice..." he finished.
"I thought you never liked them?"
"I...didn't think I did! But I just miss it so much...it's different without them around..." Edd said in a dark, raspy voice. Matt scooted closer to him and put an arm around his shoulder.
"You know...Edd...before I knew you were a psycho like this...you were the sweetest, most pure person! If...you wanted to change...I don't see why you couldn't!" Matt said with a smile. Edd chuckled and stood up.
"No...I couldn't...I was never nice Matt...I'm only a lier!" Edd said with a crazy smile before walking back into the shed. Matt blinked a few times before shrugging and walking in with Edd.

As for Jet and the others. Weeell...they're in quite a predicament. Jet is...sick? They can't really find out what's wrong with him. He was sitting in his bed, almost crying from stomach pain. Pat was in there trying to figure out what was wrong and Tom was trying to keep Tord away from it all.
"Jet you gotta stop breathing so fast...I only pricked your finger..." Pat said as he took Jet's blood. He was breathing quite heavily as he stared at the blood dripping from his finger.
"Jet common you gotta calm down..." Gray said, grabbing Jet's hand. Jet looked over at him and tried to smile, but his eyes got wide and he yelled in pain as he curled up into a ball and held his stomach. Gray yanked his hand back and put on a face of worry as he pet Jet in attempt to calm him down.
"Alright...I'm gonna go do a few tests...I think I might know what's going on..." Pat said as he smiled and walked out the door.
"G-God make it stop..." Jet said, clenching his eyes and teeth shut. Gray didn't know what to do. He wished he could take the pain away.

A little while later Pat came back, holding X-rays and other papers.
"Welp! He's just turning human!" Pat said with a smile. Both Jet and Gray looked at him with confused expressions.
"Uhh...have you ever seen Chucky? The horror movie about the doll?" Pat asked, setting the papers down.
"Yea? What does that have to do with this?" Gray asked in an annoyed tone.
"Well...you know how chucky slowly turned from a doll to a human? That's pretty much what's happening to Jet! See he wasn't a real person when he first arrived, he was more of an illusion or spirit if you'd say that. BUT! Now he is turning human! So the pain he is feeling is his insides turning into human like features." Pat explained which left both Gray and Jet in awe.

"I-I wasn't even human to begin with?!" Jet yelled. Pat shook his head.
"You are now though! I don't know how long the pain will last, but it shouldn't last much longer according to the X-rays.." Pat said with a smile.
Jet just turned to lay on his back and stared at the ceiling.
"My life is a lie..." he whispered which made Gray chuckle a bit.
"I'm going to get some pain killers but you know they can only do so much..." Pat said shrugging and walking off again.
Tord peaked his head in the room, along with Tom.

"Daddy!" Tord yelled as he ran and jumped on the bed. Jet yelped, then groaned.
"I been looking everywhere for you!" Tord yelled, jumping up and down.
"Tordle please stop jumping on the bed..." Gray said, picking up the smol child and setting him down on the floor.
"What's wrong with him?" Tom asked, walking in from the doorframe.
"F-Fucking life..." Jet grumbled while glaring at Tom.
"Wow you on your man period or something?" Tom said while chuckling.
"You know what Tom! Fucking yes! I am!"
"Wait...really?"
"Dammit no Tom! That's n-not physically possible..."
"...you don't know that..."
"Tom god dammit it's the 21st century...if guys were gonna have shark weeks we'd fucking know by now..." Jet said in a menacing tone.
"Then what is wrong with you?" Tom asked, now seriously wanting to know.
"He's...turning from an imaginary character to a human...it's confusing..." Gray explained. Tord was now worried.
"Is he gonna die?!" Tord yelled, tears in his eyes.

"No! Of course not! He's just...changing...like a butterfly!" Gray said with a smile. Tord smiled back.
"Oooh! Cool! Can you put on Chowder for me? Pleeeeaaase!" Tord said with pleading eyes. Gray chuckled.
"Sure thing...can you watch Jet while I put on Chowder for Tord?" Gray asked Tom as he nodded.
That night Tord fell asleep pretty fast. Tom and Gray were sitting on the couch talking with one another until Jet walked in.
"Jet? What are you doing out of bed?" Gray asked, standing up.
"M-My eye..." Jet said in a shaky tone.
"What about it?" Gray asked, stepping closer. Jet lifted the side of his hair that covered his face to show that his eye was completely normal.
"It's normal!" Jet said with either shock or fear.
His eyes were still red, but the one wasn't black anymore.
"This is a good thing! Do you feel ok?" Gray said with a smile. Jet smiled back and nodded.
"I feel fine! I just don't know whether to be scared or happy!"
"Awww you two are so cute together!" Tom interfered from the couch.
"You have been so much happier since you got away from Edd ya know that?" Gray complimented.
"Well I almost died 50 times and I'm back with Tord, so I've never been happier to be alive!" Tom chuckled.
"Just trying to stay positive!" Tom added on.
"Maybe now the bad things will stop happening and we can just be normal people for once!" Jet said with a sigh.
"That would be awsome!" Tom yelled a bit loud.
"Heh! Y-Yea!" Gray said as Jet and Tom snickered a bit about it. Gray wished they could be normal. That he could be with Jet forever. But he knew that he couldn't...pretty soon...everything is going to change.
