Chapter 1 Edd's Birthday Surprise

Author's Note- This is a story that has been running through my head for the last week. Everyone from the original series will be in this one although older. This will be rated teen for alcohol and tobacco use as well as for minor drug use I.E. pot. Ratings may go up. Cartoon Network owns the rights to Ed. Edd, and Eddy not me. I will not be making a cent off this so do not sue.

Eddward Banks or Double D had changed ever since his parents had to move out of Peach Creek for business reasons. The first you notice is that he no longer wore the hat that he had when he was in junior high with his two best friends Ed and Eddy. Double D's hair was black with purple streaks that he had done himself. He wore a jean jacket with the sleeves cut off and a white tank top that had a marijuana leaf on the front. He also had a pair if faded jeans and Reeboks. There was a guitar that was always with him slung on his back. He had lost all the awkwardness and shyness he had when he was growing up because he began to work out regularly.

When Double D entered his parent's office, he was not surprised to find their attorney there instead of them. "What's up Myron?"

"Eddward, your parents couldn't be here because of earlier commitments so they asked me to give them to you instead. I think you will be quite pleased." Myron handed Double D two papers. Double D's eyes lit up like they have never done before.

"Myron am I reading this right? This says that I have been given the house that we lived in when we were in Peach Creek. Does this mean that we are moving back?"

"Not quite. You can if you want to. The house is in your name now. You can do whatever you want to with it. Sell it or if you want, move back there. Since you are 18 now, you have the option of living all on your own if that is your desire."

Double D was further surprised when he saw the amount in his trust fund. It was enough to live for the rest of his life and never have to work. There was even enough for his children if he ever got married. Myron continued.

"Your parents realized that you didn't want to leave Peach Creek but they could not just leave you there alone. So they had me come up with a compromise. This was the deal they worked out for you. This way, if you wanted, you could graduate with your old friends. Oh by the way, they also left you this letter. You might want to read it before you judge them too harshly. Everything is explained in it."

Double D left Myron's office with a huge shit eating grin on his face he was going back to the only home he ever loved. He leaned on his 2009 Harley and opened the letter.

Dearest Eddward;

Since you are reading this we were not around to give you this important birthday present. We both felt terrible that you had to leave all of your friends back at Peach creek and thought this would make for that move. You are 18 now and are old enough to live your own life. We have not always been the best parents but we did try our best. Someone your age needs his freedom and even though this will not make up for our neglect, it hopefully will be a start. We hope you decide to move back to your favorite home and be sure to give everybody hell. We are proud of you and we both love you. Your proud parents,

Mom and Dad

Double D had a tear in his eye as he read the letter. He got out his cell phone and called Myron.

"Hey Myron this is Eddward. The next time you hear from mom and dad tell them thank you and I love them."

Double D rode home as fast as the speed limit would allow so he could pack and move.
