Many empty bottles, little broken bottle caps, countless crushed pills, and many other odd items littered the once nice oak wood floor of my home. But now this place is no longer my home, it's simply a containment for me, a place for me to hide from the godawful judgemental society, a place for me to do what I wish and try to accomplish things that seem nothing more than a hopeless fantasy.

I lost all my friends, my so-called lover, I lost myself!

I used to be an amazing boy, by the name of Matt Hargreaves. But now? I'm some low life that does nothing but try and gain my old life back! What kind of name is (Y/N) (L/N)? I hate it! I hate it, I despise it, it's revolting to me! It's not me!

My "friends" tried for years to get me medication that would help me, but those never worked, it was nothing more than disgusting candy to me to turn to fine powder when upset! With my friends gone, who needs the pills to make you accept a horrible life when you can just get the life you deserve to have back with witchcraft? It's perfect! Everything was almost done, just have to wait a while longer till it's truly complete and I can be happy again! "Edd, Tom..." I muttered to myself as I stared at the once lovely blue decaying walls of my home, the two names started to repeat in my mind like a broken record. Within minutes the names were screaming within my head, my head was aching so much, yet I found myself screaming "Matt! Matt! Matt!" over and over. Everything suddenly went dark, and I heard nothing, not even a whisper.....

When I finally awoke I was no longer at my home, or anywhere I was familiar with - so basically just somewhere that's not located in my yard... Either way, I hate it here already... I weakly sat up. Everything was so... bright. The sky was clear and the sun was high, not a cloud in sight, all I could smell was popcorn, candy, fresh air, and a few other scents I can't really identify... a... carnival?! Why am I here?! I looked around, backing off from every human that came close though they were just passing by. What the hell is happening? Did the spell fail? Is this a dream?! Or... a nightmare of some sort? Oh god, someone please wake me up! Just then, in the distance I saw a boy walking, wearing a pure green hoodie, his chocolate brown hair hid his face from my view, and cotton candy at hand. Could it be?

"Edd!" I accidentally cried allowed, but I didn't care about that, without hesitation I ran after the boy heading to the funhouse of mirrors, going as fast as my scrawny to the bone legs can carry me through this crowded area. "Edd!" I cried again as I got closer, tears clouded my vision as I got closer, almost to the point I couldn't see at all and the cold air made my eyes sting.

As soon as I got near the boy he froze and looked at me, it was! It was truly Edd! My Edd! "Uhh... Can I help you?" he asked with his usual smile, his head tilted to the side like a puppy. I froze, my smile left a bit,"What are you talking about? I'm..." I paused, I looked down, and one glimpse at my ragged clothes and I realized... I'm still me, not Matt, but myself... I'm just some stranger that ran up to him weirdly! I... No! No no no! This wasn't supposed to happen! I was supposed to be Matt again, I was supposed to be the real me! not... this! I wasn't supposed to be Matt again, not just appear in the general area where my "old friends" are, how would things even work like that?!

Tears began to cloud my vision again, this time not because of my joy. Because the one I worked so hard to see again, be happy with again, doesn't know me in this new revolting body and probably already hates me! "H-Hey, don't cry! I-It's okay! Do... You wanna hang out with my friends and me?" Edd managed to stutter out through his confusion, weakly smiling at me. I wiped away my tears, my breathing uneasy already,"Really? You... Want me around?" I asked rather quietly then intended to,"Yeah! I mean... Maybe our little group can use some company, and maybe a new addition to it!" Edd smiled brightly. God, it was so good to see this happy go lucky boy again. He reached and grabbed some cotton candy from a nearby cart as it passed by and offered it to me,"Candyfloss?" Edd offered, giving me the familiar friendly reassuring smile I adored and missed so much, I happily took it,"Thank you, really, Edd." I smiled and took a bite. It was amazing! It's been forever since I had this! He smiled and relaxed a bit, enjoying a bit of his own cotton candy as well,"And hey, what's your name? I never got it." Edd piped up after a bit. Right, my name... 'Matt' I wanted to say.

"(Y/N)." I suddenly said calmly, actually sounding like the name didn't bother me,"My name is (Y/N)." I repeated more calmly, a small smile crept onto my face.

"Edd! I don't like it here! The oddly good-looking man in the mirror is looking at me weird!" a familiar voice cried from within the funhouse of mirrors. That voice... Could that be...? Edd laughed,"Matt, that's your reflection!"

It is, it's really him! There's... A Matt. And it's not me... How...? A thought suddenly dawned on me. Maybe, just maybe, I can make this work out just fine. But can't get my hopes up though...

Edd took my hand and took me into the funhouse of mirrors, leading me to the source of the cry. I let him guide me as I watched my disoriented reflections in the many odd mirrors. I guess Matt was right to be a bit upset to see such an odd thing of me... of him. He's Matt, not me, I'm (Y/N) (L/N), I need to let that go! But maybe, just maybe I don't have to let it completely go...

Matt noticed me and there was a long moment of silence as the orange haired boy examined me without moving a muscle or saying a word. "Edd," Matt finally broke the silence,"Who's that?" Edd smiled a little and pushed me forward a bit towards him,"This is (Y/N), he/she is our new friend, and she/he is the one that's going to help you with the fiend in the mirror!" Edd declared with a bright smile, Matt just hummed, with a hand on his chin and judgemental eyes he examined me once again, this time seeming more into my clothes and the minor details. "Right... Well, my savior does not look the part! I say, what kind of helper just wears such a tacky beige shirt with light pink shorts? How hideous! And so many odd stains on it too, so unsanitary!" Matt continued to complain about my clothes and comment how dirty it all was. I can agree that my fashion sense isn't very keen, and this was practically my last set of clean clothes since I have an odd fear of my rather intimidating laundry room. But... Whatever, I know Matt, he'll whine till he gets what he wishes.

"Matt." I finally said, catching Matt by surprise and made him suddenly stop his ceaseless rambling to hear what I have to say. "I agree with your remarkable sense of fashion, and pardon me for my outfit. But perhaps, just maybe, you can help me dress better? I help you with the mirror monster, and you help me dress however you wish." I smiled a little. Matt's eyes lit up with joy and he gasped,"Really? Anything?!" Matt asked rather loudly,"I wouldn't do that if I were you! He'll make you dress exactly like him, and this world doesn't need a second Matt! The amount we have is already unbearable enough..." a boy wearing a blue hoodie called from somewhere hidden from sight in the funhouse of mirrors. Was that Tom...? Matt opened his mouth to retaliate but I beat him to it,"I'm perfectly happy with that! After all, I'll merely be playing my part of supporting this oh so marvelous boy, but I can never ever possibly come close to being as amazing and gorgeous as he!" I called back to who I can safely assume is Tom that was off somewhere in here with us.

Matt smiled. Before I realized it his arms were around me and I was pulled into his chest, due to me being shorter than him my face was almost instantly sunk into the boy's chest. All I can smell is his scent...

"Edd! This person is perfect! It's decided! He/she is my apprentice! As well as my new savior and best friend!" Matt declared with pride, almost as if this was the happiest day of his life to have met me at all, let alone be my friend at all. This... Is the best day in my life. A smile crept onto my face, and tears began to blur my vision again, I hugged back and buried my face further into his warm chest. I shall never leave these guys again, not ever!

"I'll do my best to make you proud, Matt."
