Out with a whimper

The 3 Ed's sat in the old and beat up car that had found its way in the junk yard, even though the car was well past its years and had the aroma of a wet shag carpet it had become a type of meditation shrine for them and they had been coming to the place a lot recently. Eddy lay on the water bed, the sound of the splashing reminding him of simpler times and the movements making him feel like he was on a boat washing out to a better place. Ed had taken his place at the wheel of the car; he moved the wheel from side to side his imagination taking over with each movement. He imagined driving away with his friends and going wherever it was that they felt truly at home, maybe to another world. Lastly Edd has positioned himself in the passenger's seat, the only one who hadn't felt as dismayed as the other two, unlike them who had given up on Nazz, Edd had actually made some headway with her and he had no desire to leave or travel to some other place, what scared him the most was that his two best friends in this world or any were thinking about it and he knew deep inside that if they left he would eventually follow. The only real noise that all the Ed's could hear was the 'Vroooom, Beep, Beep' noises that were coming out of Ed's mouth.

Eddy finally noticed the noises after they snapped him out of his day dream. He yawned and stretched out on the bed, another noise that could be heard. "If we ever need a quick getaway, remind me never to tell you to drive."

Ed dramatically turned the wheel on more time before he answered. "What if it's a slow getaway Eddy?"

"Then it's not a getaway ya dolt."

Edd looked behind him to see Eddy sitting up on the bed. "I knew it was too quiet to be true. Were you sleeping?" Edd smiled, waiting to see how Eddy would react to the joke.

"I could've fallen asleep, but the taxi driver over here wouldn't let me." After having such a nice day dream he was a little angry to be put back into the real world.

Ed let go of the wheel and honked the horn, it blared to life for only a second before it died out halfway through. "Taxi driver Ed coming to a town near you!"

Snickering, Edd let the seat drop back; he stretched out himself and laid his head down on the head rest. "You both must remember the summer 4 years ago right?" Edd said, he didn't know why it had popped into his head but that memory needed to be shared.

"Course I do, it was the maddest I've ever seen the other kids." Edd said, shivering a little at the mental image of the cul-de-sac kids chasing them down after their prank had gone horribly wrong. "It was really scary, but it ended ok."

Eddy pushed himself off the bed and sat in-between them. "Ya, it would have been the best prank ever if someone hadn't pushed the button." Eddy stated, a hint of amusement in his voice, the only tell-tale sign that he was joking.

Edd kept his eyes closed, but regarded the joke anyways. "Yes, fine we can play the blame game all you like Eddy, but just to let you know it was your idea to begin with. I think you should go down with your ship."

Ed laughed, imagining Eddy as a sailor. He received a smack on the back of the head because of that.

"I'm just saying, it was because of my scam that the kids like us now, it was all a part of my plan from the beginning."

Edd opened one eye skeptically. "It was your plan to receive verbal and physical abuse by the other kids for years until you finally were able to get their respect?" Sarcasm dripped from each of his words, and the only comeback he got was a glare from Eddy.

"Even though the kids are nicer to us," Ed started, he seemed to be trying to choose his words carefully for once, that's when Double-D opened both of his eyes, training them on Ed.

"Spit it out, whatcha got to say?" Eddy questioned, something inside him knew where this was going.

"Well…I mean don't you guys feel like something's missing?" He scratched his head, he felt a little weird saying it aloud. "Like, I feel like I need to be somewhere else." With that he looked at them with question filled eyes, ones that needed an answer from his brighter friends.

Double-D was baffled that it had been Ed who had mentioned it; he knew that lately they had wanted to go off somewhere else, but he had never thought that they would discuss it. He had no answer to the question, he was to bias for it, he didn't want them to leave at all.

Eddy was the one to answer first. "Ya I feel it too, don't think you're crazy yet Ed," Eddy looked down at the glove compartment, he seemed to be looking farther though. "It's like some nagging feeling that there's more out there, you know in different worlds or something."

Edd looked from one friend to another, his mind franticly trying to find the words to get them to stop talking about the subject, but he couldn't deny it also, he didn't want to leave but sometimes he would find himself drifting off and thinking about other worlds, it was almost like they were calling to him. He couldn't just leave Nazz though, his feelings for her were very strong and she had the same for him, there would be no way he would leave her after all he had to do to get her.

"Gentlemen, as intriguing as going out and exploring other world's sounds, the world we are in now is a perfect one already. You can't seriously consider leaving this one when you have no complaints about it." Edd hoped that his words got through to them, it was very important that they did.

"You're right," Eddy shrugged, giving Edd some hope. "But how would we know this world is perfect unless we compared it to others?" Eddy shrugged as if the topic was nothing. "I've actually been thinking about this a lot." Before Ed or Double-D could make a comment about that he pointed at them and glared. "Don't even try to make a joke."

Double-D looked over at Ed his eyes quietly pleading with him to agree. Ed averted his gaze outside; he knew that he was the deciding factor for this. He tried his best to think for himself but he was really afraid of what would happen if he picked either one, would Eddy hate him? Would Edd? The choices scared him either way so he ended up just shrugging and keeping his mouth close as tight as he could.

"Don't be scared to answer," Eddy sighed, he tried to keep his patience but he didn't have any. "You were the one who wanted to leave anyways, tell us why." It was more of an order than him asking.

Ed gulped and he gave a quick glance over to Double-D, "Well I feel like I'm a bird that's been trapped in a cage for a bit now. I just want to break free and go see other places."

"Leave it to Ed to compare all this to a bird." Eddy mumbled, lightening the mood a fraction. "I hate birds…"

Edd felt his anxiety increase, they were very serious about leaving, and that scared him so much that he felt as if he couldn't breath. Luckily he was able to keep his composed look, so not as to disturb his friend's moods. "Trapped, why is it now that you both have become so adamant about leaving?" Edd couldn't keep the desperation out of his voice, he was speaking pretty fast. "I for one don't want to go to other worlds when we have such a nice one now, there's no reason to leave…."

"For you," Eddy butt in, his face seemed expressionless as he looked outside the window. "You have a reason to stay, we don't, there's nothing here for us."

Edd looked at him, his face shocked and sad; he barely got his words out. "Except me…right?" He looked over at Ed. "Except Sarah right?"

Ed noticed the sadness that was emitting from the feeble boy, he felt like crying when he had said that, because that meant he wasn't coming. "It wouldn't be the same without you, and Sarah is growing up she doesn't need me."

Eddy was looking at him now, all traces of his previous seriousness gone, his face mirrored Ed's. He had also thought that Edd would have come with them. "What, you would rather stay here with Nazz than go with us?" Eddy hadn't meant to turn it into an ultimatum, but he had.

"I would rather stay home than go to other places that we don't even know about." Edd's voice didn't waver this time, he felt hurt and betrayed by them, they were trying to leave him and blame him for not going, when in reality it was the other way around.

Eddy shook his head slowly at that answer; he was defiantly processing what had just been said. "Fine." Was all he was able to say, but the words cut like a knife to Edd.

After those words Eddy had hopped back into the bed, while Edd stared out the window, both deep in thought again, this time Ed's noises wouldn't snap them out of it. He tried to think of a way to get them to make up, or to at least get them to laugh, but nothing came to mind.

Edd looked outside and noticed that it was getting pretty late, "I think it's time for us to get to bed,"

Eddy just nodded and opened the door, he walked out without saying anything letting his silence talk more than any words could. They got to the cul-de-sac and both watched as Ed walked to his house, smiling and exchanging his goodbyes to both his friends.

Edd was about to walk away next when he felt something grab his shoulder. "No matter, where we are, no matter how far we go, you will always be our best friend. We will always come back and find each other again, that's just how we work."

Edd looked back at him and gave him one of the most sincere smiles he had ever given, "Thank you." He whispered, walking towards his house and letting the tears freely fall down his face when he was out of sight, he couldn't believe that it had been Eddy who had said that.

The boy outside, finally walked off towards his house, letting out a long sigh, he wasn't used to releasing so much emotion at one time, that was more of an Edd thing. Yet even with that he still couldn't shake off the feeling that something big was about to happen. Something really big. He tried to get it off his mind, but it was too much to even consider that. He slowly got ready for bed, savoring each moment as if it were his last, because he knew it was his last. Before he went to bed he opened his door, letting the cool air rush in and wash over him. He took a long and deep breath and stared at the moon. This would be his last day in this world for a very long time, and he knew it, that's what made it so sad, that's why he was so sad. He knew that he was going out with a whimper instead of a bang. The man with the scam, the guy who was able to get a bunch of kids who hated him to finally respect and care for him, was going to leave this world without anyone else knowing, without letting some big day happen that would send him off, as he just sighed and let it happen.

Just like he let the tears run down his face.
