The next day came to Eddward with a crawl. His blissful thoughts of the few short hours he had spent with Marie the evening before had went to bed with him, and he could not stop thinking about them. He even shut off his first bell Saturday just to lie in bed and think about it for just a bit longer.

This "bit longer" ended up causing him to wake up two hours later then he had intended, causing him to panic before he remembered it was the first Saturday of the new school year. This did not stop him from his morning routines, although there was an absence of chores from his parents on his phone. Although normally this would cause him confusion, he took it as a much deserved break for having such a conflicting first week of school.

After his shower, he opted to lounge in his boxers and watch re-runs of Courage the Cowardly Dog on Boomerang. During one of the commercial breaks, he decided on a hearty breakfast and began to fry some porkchops and stew up some white gravy, all the while nearly stark naked. Midway through his cooking, he heard a familiar beep from his phone.

It was, of course, Eddy asking him what their plans were. Edd thought for a while before offering a response, too caught up in his morning to reply. He eventually texted Eddy back, inviting him and Ed to come over for breakfast in thirty minutes to offer them the big news. This gave him plenty of time to get dressed, and think of the proper way to break the news to them.

Maries morning started much the same, refusing the pleas of her alarm clock to lie in bed and enjoy the bliss a little while longer. She was eventually rudely awakened via Lee shaking the hellfire out of her mattress.

"Hurry up Sleeping Beauty! You gotta' help me move in the new dishwasher!" Lee shrieked.

"Alright! Sheesh, can't a girl enjoy peace in the sanctity of her own room once in a while?" Marie replied, unintentionally using semi-complex words to confuse her sister, "Just let me brush my teeth and pee okay? I'll be out in a second."

"Well don't take too long, I'm sure blondie will need to clog the toilet here soon." Lee offered in response, jokingly.

Marie eventually mustered the strength to crawl out of her bed and into the bathroom, and began the usual ritual of washing her teeth and brushing her hair, even if she was only helping her sister.

At 11 am, as if on a time card, she heard the flustered cries of her younger sister, and a malicious pounding on the door.

"Hurry up in there! I gotta drop the kids off at school!" May cried, almost painfully.

While disgusted by the remark, Marie had long become accustomed to her little sisters crudeness, and only stayed in a little longer before relinquishing the bathroom to May.

"At least use the plunger this time alright Bucky?" Marie teased without thought.

"We'll see who's calling who "Bucky" after I get my braces baby teeth." May struck back, referring to Maries admittedly small teeth.

Marie opted to just go help her bigger sister move the "new to you" dishwasher from there sleeping mothers flatbed pickup, ignoring anymore confrontation.

Not long after the Kankers engagement, the short and long Ed boys had arrived at the scrawny Ed's house for a filling breakfast and small talk.

"So what're we doing today Moses?" Eddy snarked, referring to Edd's tooth gap.

"Well, before we get into our Saturday evening plans, would you like some milk?" Edd offered in rhetoric, almost spilling the true beans of this gathering.

"What do I look like? A lactose-embalmment?" Eddy replied, mixing up his words in the usual manner.

After pouring both of his friends a class of 2% milk, Edd managed to sit down, and resisted the urge to delay the inevitable, and bring up the main topic of discussion.

"Gentlemen, as you know, we are in the prime of our teen-hood." Edd began, only to be offered a curious eye from Eddy whilst he chewed the perfectly fried porkchop.

"And as teens in our prime, we are expected to become more involved in the opposite sex." Edd followed, officially catching Eddy's attention. The same of which, could not be said of Ed who was busy drinking the gravy straight of a coffee mug.

"So what you're saying is you think we should all dress sharp today, and go find someone to print us fake id's to hit up The Phoenix's Wishbone?" Eddy inquired, referring to a local club on the side of the highway leading to Peach Creek proper.

"Not exactly, well, not at all actually." Edd responded.

"Well cut to it slick, we got a Saturday to plan." Eddy demanded.

"To make a long story short, I have recently become infatuated with a young woman whom I expect neither of you to approve of." Edd shot out, stern in his demeanor.

"You gotta be kidding me…" Eddy mustered, "You're taking Sarah to the sophomore dance?"

This caught Ed's attention.

"Double Dee! You have to have baby sister home by 8, and you must afford her the fineries she deserves, or Ed does not approve!" Ed shouted with a mouth full of gravy, more than likely not following the conversation at all.

This caused Double Dee to face-palm himself with a sigh.

"No, Eddy. Not only is she far too young to even consider taking to any kind of dance, she is also historically devious an abusive to any cause we support." Edd responded, immediately grasping the irony of the last statement in relation to his actual news.

"Alright, so what is it?" Eddy inquired with a slight chuckle at his outburst.

"I have decided that it is in my personal interest to court with Marie Kanker." he said more confidently then he felt, "I feel as though it will offer us both happiness in the short run, or at least experience in the long run. I hope that you, as my friends, will support me in my decisions, and not resort to petty judgement and tom-foolery."

Eddy took a moment to take it in, and finish chewing and swallow his pork chop, followed by a long sip of milk.

"And?" Eddy inquired, punctuated by the tap of his empty glass hitting the kitchen bar.

This had officially stumped Double Dee. He didn't expect Ed to have much of an opinion on his recent endeavors with Marie, but he certainly thought Eddy would have something to say.

"You don't care?" Double asked, pleading for affirmation.

"Listen Sockhead, whether I care or not doesn't matter if you're really into this thing ya know?" Eddy said with a twinge of wisdom, "The way I sees' it, as long as you don't stop hanging out with us for her, you could run away for a weekend and marry the poor girl!"

Double Dee's immediate confusion was then relinquished with glee at his closest friend's acceptance. After taking in what Eddy had said, he hugged his best friend.

"Geeze socko, am I gonna have to tell poor Marie you're already cheating on her?" Eddy joked before prying Double Dee off his person, "Now what are we doing today boys?"

With this weight off his shoulder, the conversations went back to a mostly normal tone between the teenagers.

Meanwhile, in the Kanker household it was nearing noon. Marie had helped her sister move in the new appliance, and, since she wouldn't get to see her Eddward until later, that she would devote some time on installing some refurbished fuel lines on the Nova she had picked up as a project over the summer.

Her work was cut short by the awakening of her mother who requested immediate arrival of all her daughters. The Kankers' mother worked very long and strenuous hours at a local diner as a shift manager, and while her household and lifestyle wouldn't show it, was avid at saving money, only spending on the bare essentials. She had tried to pass on as much of this stinginess, as some would call it, to her daughters.

The roll call seemed ominous at first, but ended with Ms. Kanker inquiring her daughters over the prospect of grilling burgers later that night, and encouraged them to invite friends over.

The problem was that outside of Eddward, Marie didn't really have any friends that weren't her sisters. Lee had some of the girls from her mothers' work from picking up shifts with her mom, and May was getting picked up by their uncle to stay on his farm with their cousins later that night.

What first seemed an obstacle ended in Marie realizing she could just invite Double Dee over and get him more acquainted with her and her family's lifestyle. She decided she would shoot him a text later that evening as to not interrupt his and his friend's shenanigans.

Meanwhile, the Eds were still discussing their evening plans.

"I still say we at least try to hit up that club, Kev said they barely even id." Eddy said, firm in his words.

"I don't see how an institute such as that can just 'barely id', Eddy." Double said with crossed arms, "I feel as though even if they didn't id us that our youthful look would definitely set of some red flags."

Eddy huffed in frustration, knowing his friend was right.

"Then what do we do, it's almost 12:30! Time is fleeting boys, we're not getting any younger." he said.

Double Dee had thought of the night before, and the old shag-wagon they had called their control center in their childhood days.

"Well, we could always try to move that old van out of the junkyard and into the vacant lot behind your house. You did say we needed to refurbish it to its original glory someday." Edd offered, "And I did some research last night on the internet and checked the heaps' Vin number, it hasn't had an owner or title since the early 90s. The poor thing has been waiting around to get scrapped for over a decade."

Double Dee had intentionally given the van human characteristics to entice Ed to jump on board, and it worked flawlessly.

"Aw Eddy, we have to save the van! We can't let it get eaten by the scrapped!" Ed pleaded on Eddys' heels, his eyes almost exploding with tears.

"Alright sockhead, how do you plan on moving it then?" Eddy posed.

Admittedly, Eddward had not particularly thought about this part of the plan. But then he remembered that over the summer he had to tow a small 4x4 trailer full of his dads business equipment a few times, and that the small tow hitch was still mounted on his modest Honda. It might not be the best for towing, but he was sure if they could unlock the transmission in the van and move it to neutral he could pull it the short distance out of the junkyard and into Eddy's back lot.

"I could tow it with my car." Double offered.

The look Eddy gave him was somewhere between confusion, and hysteria. He refrained from laughing at his friend, though.

"Do you really think your little eco-box could tow that fat ass Vandura?" Eddy asked.

"I think the short distance would be manageable if I kept it in low, and if we could get the van to shift to neutral. There aren't any hills or obstacles along the way, so I believe it could be very possible." Double Dee replied.

"Well let's run by my place first, my dad's got some grade A tow straps in the garage." Eddy said before leading the trio to his dad's garage.

Eddy's father was a rather large and intimidating man, so of course he had to drive a large and intimidating truck. He had a 2005 Ford F-250 outfitted with a 6.0 L V8 diesel engine. As they passed, each boy imagined the ease of pulling in the rustic Vandura with that monster. This thought was quickly surpassed when Eddy opened up the tool box and pulled out a durable tow rope. The boys then made their way to Double Dees car in unison.

After a short drive, the boys made it to the junkyard. To get the transmission to shift into neutral, the van would need some sort of power, and the battery was shot from years of aggressive erosion. Luckily, Eddy's dad, being a car salesmen, had plenty of spare parts in the garage and after a short trip back to the cul-de-sac they had a new-to-them battery to put in the old van.

After the installation of the battery, and some elbow grease on the gear column, they managed to get it in neutral. With the van hooked to Double Dee's civic, he slowly crept out of the junkyard and back into the cul-de-sac. The short drive was made long and arduous, as he didn't want to leave second gear out of fear of over taxing his gearbox. After the slow haul, they found the van parked up right behind Eddy's room. This was the first time they had seen it without garbage on all sides, and it certainly looked better surrounded by pavement and green grass.

"I can't believe it boys; one of our oldest dreams might finally become a reality!" Eddy exerted in excitement, "And right in time for my license!"

"Now Eddy, this vehicle will need pretty significant repair before it is rode worthy once more." Edd responded, only thinking of Marie's amiable vehicular knowledge.

"Well I guess I could ask pop if he wants to help us out. He could get us discounts and shit on the parts I think." Eddy mused.

"Well, before then we should probably build it some sort of temporary shelter to protect it from further rain damage, assuming it has leaks." Edd said.

And with that, the boys began to fabricate a make shift tarp roof over the treasured van.

Meanwhile, the clock was ticking toward 5 pm, and the Kanker household was preparing for one of their "famous" cookouts. In the Park-n-Flush trailer park, mama Kanker was well known for her grilling prowess, and was happy to serve any of her neighbors that decided to show. Just as her daughters served the Eds on first encounter.

Marie decided it was time to shoot Edd a text, and told him if he wanted to come to show up around 7:30. He, of course, agreed. This filled young Maries' heart with sunrays of happiness, and she was so excited to see him even after just one day.

Since it was still rather warm, a calm 68F, she decided to wear some olive drab khaki shorts, and a tank top, almost resembling her signature outfit, but with shorts. Above all else, she wanted to be comfortable.

Little did Eddward know that the cookout wasn't all Marie planned on attending, she had decided earlier that day to see just how flustered she could get the poor Ed boy later that night.

Double Dee ended up not taking a shower since he did earlier that day, and had not gotten dirty yet. He did change into some cleaner cloths, some cargo shorts and a red polo to be exact, and decided to make his way to the cookout a little early, clocking in at around 6:10.

After a short walk through the construction area, he found himself in the once notorious trailer park, complete with his memories of his childhood woes. His entire afterthought vanished when he laid eyes upon his blue haired majesty, and he continued his strut inward, albeit a little perkier in his step.

"Hey there Double Dee!" Marie exclaimed before a short skip followed by a lunging hug.

"Hello to you too Marie," Double Dee said, adjusting his hat whilst the adolescent stay wrapped around his waist, "So who all did you invite?"

"I think some of the neighbors will show, Lee invited her friend from work, and then there's you of course honeybun." Marie answered with a tap on his nose, causing a slight blush.

"Well, what do you usually do at these things?" Double asked.

"Wellllll we could go sit around and talk with the family, or we could go down to the creek and skip rocks till the food is done." she answered, "But you have to meet my mom before all else, she will adore you!"

Marie then tugged Edward into the main pit of activity amongst this small trailer park, where he was met with an intimidating woman.

Ms. Kanker stood at about 5"10, nearly the same height as him, had the same curly ginger hair passed down to Lee, and had a thick frame. Not fat by any means, but very busty in all of her secondary sexual areas. But he could see the wisdom in her aged skin, and the youth still present in her blue eyes.

"You must be Edward." she appointed in the same accent as Lee, but less gruff.

"Um y-yes, I am Edward." Double Dee whimpered out, thrown off by this spontaneous introduction, "You must be the Ms. Kanker I keep hearing about."

Marie shot him a weird look, as if she was confused by his brown nosing.

Luckily, the slight honey-combing seamed to ease the situation when Ms. Kanker adorned a slight smile, and relinquished her hands from her hips to give the teen a hug. This, unsurprisingly, surprised Edd.

"Well you've gotta be some helluva man to tame this one, I swear we couldn't get her to sleep but two times when she was a baby, and both of those times she got into my Nyquil cabinet!" Ms. Kanker let out with a hearty laugh.

Edward didn't really know how to reply, luckily Marie did for him.

"Oh I promise mama, he is." Marie said in an unusually domineering tone before pulling Double Dee closer from her backside.

"Well whatever makes you happy makes me happy darlin', I think the dogs' are getting close to done, go ahead and grab yourself a plate kids." the Kanker matriarch said in a southern twange for no apparent reason.

The rest of the feast went on much like this, with each of the attendees exchanging small talk and urban legends to scare the younger kids present. At around 9 pm, all but Marie's family and Ed had called it a night.

"Well I'm gonna head to bed, I gotta 'nother double tomorrow. You should think about it too Lee, you're comin' in with me tomorrow, remember?" Ms. Kanker reminded Lee.

"I know ma', let's give these love birds some peace and quiet." Lee chuckled before exchanging goodnights with her sister and Edd.

And with the shut of the screen door, the young couple was left alone for the night. They had decided to just sit by the fire until it finally sizzled out when it was nearly absolute dark. Little did Edd know that everything was going according to Marie's plan.

"Hey Edd, wanna go somewhere more comfy?" Marie posed.

Double Dee was a little bit confused, but did eventually end up conforming to the answer he knew she wanted to hear.

They made their way a little ways through the woods, to one of the many abandoned shacks they had used to torment the Eds back in the day. Although this one was different. It had three or four sleeping beds rolled around, along with seven or eight pillows, all the while being surrounded by large candles and a hanging electric lantern.

"You like it? I decided to give this old shack a makeover to suite us more. How do you feel about that dreamboat, our own personal sex dungeon!" Marie said excitedly, purposefully trying to break Edd's comfort zone.

This worked right as she had planned, causing the shivering Double Dee to break into perspiration. If Edd had known she was equally as inexperienced as he was, he maybe could've taken the joke more light-heartedly.

"W-what do you-…we've only been together for a few days Marie, is this really the deus ex Machina of our relationship already?" Edd bargained.

"Well, when you put it that way," Marie continued the harassment and leaned into Edd until his back was pressed against a wall, "Maybe some other time love-bug." She whispered into Edd's quivering ear.

Edd had stopped shaking after realizing this was just another cruel tease on Marie's part. He had never even fathomed the thought of any sort of sexual encounter with a woman, let alone her. Although the idea finally coming to the light was a weight off of his frail shoulders, and he admittedly was excited for that bit of the relationship.

His relief was only momentary as Marie essentially threw him down onto the makeshift bed, and slowly crawled up to his face. A slight wind could be heard over both of their shallow breaths, and thus a very intense kissing session occurred. This went on for 5 minutes when Marie had noticed a slight bulge pressing against her upper pelvis. This completely took her off her game; she had never gotten this far with anyone. She could play dirty all she wanted, but nothing could match to actual experience.

With her guard cut short, Double Dee felt a hormonal rush of energy and managed to flip her over to be on the bottom; this greatly surprised Marie yet again, as she was still shocked over their shared lust.

The night continued on like this for a little while until the hours of teasing was finally enough for poor Edd, as he began to feel a sharp, bruise like pain in his nether regions.

"Owe, alright, I gotta get going home soon Marie." Double Dee said as he stood up and readjusted his pants to hide his acquired form.

Marie looked at him with dough eyes, and the saddest bottom lip she could muster.

"Babyyyyy won't you just sleep here with me? The door locks, and it won't get cold tonight." she pleaded on her knees.

Edd wanted to, but he was worried about the pain in his pants, and if they were moving too far too fast, but her puppy dog face broke these thoughts very quickly.

"I suppose it would not hurt to stay here, I've nothing planned for tomorrow but evening studying." he answered.

"Well alright, hop on in sugar cookie." Marie said imitating a southern belle voice.

After a little bit of adjusting and spooning, Marie decided her shorts were uncomfortable and that she wanted to sleep in her panties and shirt. Edd felt her movements, and then saw her put her shorts to the side in the pale of the moonlight.

"You'd be a lot more comfortable if you took off your shorts Edd." Marie said matter-o-factly.

"Marie, I-I don't know if that is a-appr-"

"Just do it." Marie said assertively.

Following her demand, he slowly managed off his belt and then finally his shorts. The way they were spooning, he seemed to feel everything, and the inside of his shorts had become sticky and wet, and the pain was back.

Maries' end was just as full of sensuality. She felt his member more prominently than ever before. It was pressing on the crease of her butt, and she could hardly maintain enough control to not press ever so slightly harder onto his pelvis.

The small shack remained a stuffy love-hut for the remainder of the night. Both resisting primal urges they had not yet experienced, both excited to eventually get to that point of comfort with each other.

Authors note:

It's been a long time. A long long long time. I know on the last entry I said I was going on hiatus, but I never imagined it would be this long. I ended up losing the hardrive all my old files were on, and got completely caught up in finishing last years schooling, and then working a ton more, and then now I'm almost done with this, my final year of school, and without much work coming my way, so I finally can maybe kick this up again. I would like to extend a heartfelt thankyou to all of you who stuck around. I'm sure the wait wasn't worth it, but I tried. I'll try to sparingly update this, but honestly I just want it to reach a conclusion; I just love this couple. Andy and all reviews give me motivation, and as always, feel free to message me any questions.

Have a good day!
