A/N: I don't own ed, edd and eddy

Chapter one: The parents

Double-D thought he was going to pass out at any given moment from the anxiety building within his body. He paced frantically in his room, trying to think of way to stay sane. The reason why the brains behind the ed's was so frantic was because his girlfriend Marie Kanker was coming over to his house for dinner with him and his parents tonight. His mind began to go back to where this whole mess started.

Yesterday…

"Really Marie, you don't have to do this if you don't want to" Edd told his girlfriend "you can see my parents some other time"

"It's fine double-d" the Kanker said to the young genius"why are you so worked up about this anyway?"

"My parents are very judgmental" he replied "they'll-"

"Don't worry baby, I can take their dirty looks" she interrupted

Before Double-D could explain further, Marie kissed him sweetly on the lips, indicating that she wanted the conversation to end right there. He only smiled at her and took her hand and together they headed to their home room.

….

"What I'm I going to do?" he thought to himself during his panic attack "I love Marie more than my school work, but mother and father will mentally crush her, oh why must love be a warzone of the mind?"

As he continued his freak out in his bedroom, he suddenly noticed a beat up red pick-up truck pull into the drive way.

"She's here!" Edd nearly shouted aloud

The cap-wearing boy quickly dashed downstairs to see his father open the door for his girlfriend. Already he could see his dad's degust on his face at the sight of her.

"Um, Marie I'm glad you could uh make it" Double-D greeted nervously as approached his lover

"Hey babe!" she replied sweetly

She walked past Edward's father and kissed her boyfriend passionately. Edward broke off the kiss shorter than their usual make-out sessions.

"Oh where are my manners?" Double-D began "Marie, this is my father"

"Pleased to meet you" the blue haired women said

She raised her hand for a handshake with her boyfriend's dad, but the man merely a small nod to the girl and headed to the dining room.

"My wife is about to finish with dinner" he informed the two lovers as he walked away from them "let's be seated shall we?"

The trailer park girl gave her sock-headed boyfriend a strange look to him, as if to silently ask what his father's problem was.

"He's very germ phobic" Edward lied

Marie only nodded in response before fallowing the smart Ed to the dinner table. After a brief introduction with Edward's mother, the family sat down for dinner. However, the food that Marie was served to her was unlike anything she had ever seen before.

"What is this ma'am?" the girl asked

"French roast chicken" the older women responded coldly "I know it's not mash potatoes and barbecue ribs, but I hope it will live up to your standards"

The trailer park girl clenched her fist under the table in silent rage; Edd reached under the table and gently grasped her fist to relax his girlfriend.

"So Marie, Edward has told us that you have to sisters that are dating both of his friends" Edward's father informed "do you three like the name Ed, or did you just become bored with the other young men in this neighborhood?"

"Please make it stop" Edd prayed in his thoughts "just stop right there"

The Kanker sister's anger was beginning to show on her face, but she still kept quiet for Double-D's sake.

"Oh leave her alone Gregory" Edd's mother added "it's not the girl's fault she is trailer trash, blame it on her whore of a mother, she was on the only role model this poor urchin ever had"

"That's IT!" the young women exclaimed "What is your problem with me? I haven't done anything to you!"

"But you have" the father of the girls boyfriend answered darkly "because of you, our son has been dressing differently, listening to heavy metal and he's been slipping in school and it's all because you!"

Double-D wanted to jump up from his seat and defend his girlfriend from his father's words, but these where his parents; he couldn't lash out against them. So he sat there and felt powerless throughout the event.

"You're nothing more than some trailer park redneck" the man continued with his insults "I don't what my son see's you, but I'm quite sure it isn't love"

Tears rolled down Marie's eyes, she then ran of the dining room and ran out of house, Edd snapped back to reality and chased after her.

"Marie wait!" he called out to her as she got in her truck

"Forget it Edd!" she shouted back at him from the truck "just stay away from me!"

With that she drove off back to her home. Double-D's head hung low in sadness. He walked back into his house. As he entered he saw his mother and father still sitting at the dinner table, he shot them both a glare as he made his back to his bedroom.

"You'll thank me one day son" this dad called out to him
