"Hush little infant
You're safe in my arms
Father will ensure you come to no harm

Whom ever shall lay a hand on you
Father will sever them
And use their carcass for stew

Hush little child
Rest your head
Any one who threatens you
Will end up dead

Close your eyes
And do not fear
'Cause your papa
Is always here"

The horned man-beast gently rested the little winged infant into his crib and tucked him in.

"Good night my son, you will surely grow to become a fine ruler."

He blew out the candle that was placed on the stone nightstand and walked out of the bedroom.

Edward played the memory from his childhood back in his head. Every night his father or mother would sing him a lullaby to help him fall asleep. Not all demons needed sleep, but it was still enjoyable for them to relax a bit. And it was a relatively quick way to regain their powers and energy.

Edward had a very happy childhood, despite the fact that he rarely felt happiness. His parents were always overbearing, but they were great parents. He spent the majority of his childhood running threw fields, learning how to fight with different weapons, and murdering his enemies. A happy demon childhood. He and his parents would celebrate holidays together. Holidays such as Hallows Eve and the Blood Moon. And you cannot forget the most important tradition. Whenever you are victorious in battle, or you successfully vanquish your opponents, it is tradition to join with your whole family in a celebratory meal and feast upon the flesh of thy enemies. It is a very bonding experience.

Edward laid on the grass and felt a flower petal between his index finger and his thumb. He had to admit, the nature on this realm was breathtaking. There was certainly nothing like it in the underworld. There is no life in the underworld, everyone there is either already dead, never dies, or never lived in the first place. However, it is not impossible to kill an immortal... it would be difficult, but there is a way. Almost nobody knows the way to kill a being that is meant be eternal, and it is intended for it to be kept that way. Imagine what would happen if the supernatural learned how to kill each other off...
Chaos would rein over the underworld.
Hopefully that never happens, if it does we could simply erase their memory.

(Kevin's p.o.v)

I didn't get a chance to talk to Edd yesterday, so I thought I'd go over to his house to say hello.

I grabbed my jacket and was about to head out the door.

"Where do you think you're going young man?" I turned around and saw my mom. She had her red hair tied into a pony tail and she was wearing her yellow apron.

"I was just going to a friends. "

"Oh! Is it that new family that moved across the street?"

"Um... yeah. How did you-"

"You're dad told me that while I was away at aunt Carol's you invited the new kid over for a slumber party."

"Mom! It wasn't a slumber party! That's for girls!.. it's a sleep over."

She laughed. I could feel my face becoming red, why does she love to embarrass me?!

"Anyways, I baked these for our new neighbours." She passed me a basket full of muffins. "Tell them they can keep the basket too as a house warming gift."

"Ok, I will mom. Love ya, bye."

"Goodbye son, be back before the street lights come on."

"K, I will."

I closed the door an walked across the street.

I took a deep breath and rung the doorbell. Why am I so nervous.

After 5 minutes a shirtless Edd opened the door.

"Hey there" I said, I could feel my face heating up. Hey there? That's the best I could come up with?!

"Salutations." He opened the door. "Please, enter." I walked inside kinda shocked that he was actually being kinda nice, even if his face was emotionless.

"Are you sure your parents don't mind that I'm here?" I asked.

He just looked back at me.

"Why would they be? They do not live here."

So he lives alone? That's kinda sad...

"Feel free to look around as I go get changed into more appropriate attire. I wasn't informed of your visit."

He walked up the stairs.

He did say I could look around.

Wow, his place was almost empty. He had a huge living room. Or maybe it only looked big because there was almost nothing in it. There was a couch and a small flat screen TV, but that's it. No pictures on the wall. I can't even find their dinner table. Is it in a different room? Rolf has his dinner table in a separate smaller room.

I went into their kitchen to see if they had anything to drink, I was parched!

I opened their fridge, and to my surprise it was just as empty as their living room!

There was a couple apples, a jug of orange juice that looks almost empty. And on the counter is a box of Cheerios. But they have no milk for the Cheerios.

Are they broke?

"What're you doing?!"

"GAAAAAAHHHHHH!!"

I turned around and saw Eddy in a tank top eating a bag of chips.

"What am I doing here? What are YOU doing here?"

"Here? In my house? Who said you could go rummaging in our fridge?"

"W-wait? You live here with Edd?"

"Your point is?"

God... this guys a real slob. He has stains on his shirt that I'm gonna assume is sweat... and he's fat.

Just then I saw Edd walk down the stairs.

"Oh... Eddy... you're awake." He said.

"Yes, I am. Why is that inside our house?"

How rude! What the hell is his problem?!

"I invited him in." He said with no expression in his voice.

"What?! But why?!"

"Did you not say I should spend time people?"

"...That is true."

"Then I do not see what you are upset about."

"But why in our home?"

I think they forgot I'm standing right here.

"What if he finds out-" He says in a hushed voice.

"Take a look around Eddy." We all looked around the nearly empty house. "There is nothing in this place to find!"

There's was a long awkward silence.

"Sooo, I brought you guys muffins!" I said with a nervous smile.

"Thanks! I'll be taking those!" Eddy grabbed the muffins out of my hand and shoved one into his mouth.

"Ughh! Repulsive" Edd cringed. Eddy was chewing with his mouth open.

(Edd's p.o.v)

You would not believe that he were a prince! He eats like a swine!

"So, why have you graced me with your presence on this glorious day?" I said sarcastically.

"U-uh... I just wanted to see if we could hang out. I didn't see you yesterday."

So he wants to see me everyday? But why?

"Alright. I will hang out with you."

"You will! Er, I mean great, let's go then." He grabbed my wrist and started to walk off.

'What makes him think he can touch me?! I will allow it for now, but if he does it again I will not let him off this easily.'

He dragged me all the way upstairs into my room.

(Kevin's p.o.v)

We went up to Edd's room. I wonder what his room looks like? I'm pretty sure he's goth, so maybe it's all creepy and dark and shit, but I don't mind.

When I opened the door my eyes nearly fell out of my head. There was just a mattress on a floor.

"Edd...?" I looked over at him and his cheeks were dark grey. Is he blushing?
If he is, then why is he turning grey?

I looked down and saw that I was still holding his wrist. I immediately let go of his wrist and looked away. "S-sorry about that." I looked back at him and he was staring at me. The more he looked at me with his blue eyes, the more uncomfortable I felt.

Out of nowhere he walked forward and put his hand on my forehead.

"What are you doing?!"

"Your face has turned red, and your temperature is increasing at an alarming rate. Is that normal for humans?"

"W-what?!"

"Or are you going to explode."

"I'm not going to explode!"

"Oh... you're not? Well that's a shame..."

"What do you mean it's a shame!- *sigh* never mind." I went and sat down on his floor mattress. He took a seat next to me. "Sooo... this is where you live..." Really?! Pathetic Kevin!

There was a long awkward silence between us.

(3rd person p.o.v)

"Now tell me, why are you here again?"

"I just wanted to get to know you better."

"This again?" He sighed. "Why are you so curious about my life? What about me interests so much?"

"I don't know..."

"You don't know?"

"I just wanted us... to be friends."

"Friends?" Kevin frowned and nodded.

"Why would someone like you, want to be friends with some one like me?" The demon prince asked.

"Because..."

"Because why?"

"Because I think you're cool and stuff."

Out of no where Edd started laughing. His laugh sounded somewhat sinister.

"I find you amusing. Sure, I'll be your friend."

"Awesome! You can hang out with me and my other friends, oh, and bring Eddy too, I guess. I noticed you two are close. Uh, Edd, can I ask you something?"

"Again with the questions?" He groaned.

"I just wanted to know, what is Eddy to you?"

"Eddy? He's just a family friend of my fathers, but he's nothing to me."

"Oh. Why is it just the two of you living here?"

"Father wouldn't let me come here alone." He said angrily.

"That makes sense. He's your dad so I guess he wouldn't want you to live all by yourself."

"I am perfectly capable of looking after myself!"

"...You sleep on a mattress in the middle of the floor."

"What are you trying to say?" Eddward asked.

"Nothing nothing." He raised his hands in defence. "I think you're perfectly capable of living alone."

"Good. I'm glad you agree."

"So, is that a yes to hanging out with me and my friends tomorrow?"

"Why not."

~oOo~

"These are all my friends!" Kevin said to Edd and Eddy. "You already met them before, remember?"

"I always remember." Edd said simply.

"Haha, yeah. Guys, this is Edd, oh, and Eddy too, you remember them right."

"Yeah of course." They all nodded. Ed ran up to Eddy and gave him a hug.

"Hello. We are going to be best friends." Said Ed gibing him a bone crushing hug. He was about to hug Edd too but he gave him a threatening glare.

Nazz was shrinking away behind the crowed before Kevin spotted her and pulled her closer. "Where do you think you're going Nazz." She shrieked and stood there stiff. She tried to hide behind her bangs. Edd tilted his head closer to the side and focused his eyes on her.

(Edd's p.o.v)

I'm sure I've seen her before, but where?

"Don't mind her, Nazz is just shy, right Nazz." Nazz nodded quickly.

She was very short and blonde. And she stunk of flowers.

"Wow, you're a gorgeous one aren't ya." Eddy said. He pushed me aside. I scowled at him, he has the nerve to push me?!

"The name's Eddy, but you can call me, the man of your dreams" Nazz looked up from the floor and laughed.

"Why thank you."

Wait a minute, her face.

How could this be? She had disappeared many decades ago. Satan had sent many guards out looking for her. He doesn't like it when one of his prisoners escape.

She looks so different now, it is no wonder I had such problems recognizing her. But I knew that I have seen her face before. I never forget a face. In fact, I never forget anything, I remember as far back from when I was only 20 years old. Still too small to walk on my own.

I felt a smile form on my lips.

Oh, this is going to be interesting.
