Chapter 3
———
Redd and Double D has gotten use to living in Peach creek for three years. Redd has been having fun antagonizing some kids at school, like Revin- who has come back at one point from an internship at a big tech company.
Today however, is Double D's birthday. While, Double D isn't expecting much as he isn't very popular at school, unless you ask the girls, he will be spending time with his friends and older brother.
Redd has been bored and lonely ever since Double D stopped needing him. He decided that there will be a change. He will have a small party for Double D and introduce him to his friends.
After all, he is dying to brag about his brother and if his clique knows about him, he won't have to hold it in any more.
Redd decorated the house with space themed party supplies that morning. He knew Double D wasn't one for surprises, so he didn't try to hide it.
"Hey, Redd.", said Double D.
"Yes, baby cakes?", said Redd.
Double D twisted his foot bashfully.
"Can I give these invites to the kids in my class?", asked Double D.
"Sure thing! I'm inviting my friends too, I think it's about time you meet.", said Redd.
Ecstatic at the approval, Double D hugged his brother. Redd smiled and pat Double D's head.

"You have a brother? Why is this the first time we're hearing about it?", said Rohnny.
"Because, my brother is nothing like me. He's not a 'bad kid' and I don't want people think we are the same. More importantly, I think you're ready to meet him.", said Redd.
Remmy took a drag from his cigarette and spoke," Is that why you slowly stopped smoking? Can't have him think your a bad influence huh?"
"Something like- he has asthma and a very weak constitution. He can't handle smoke among other things", said Redd.
Remmy snuffed out the cigarette and tossed the bud in the trash. Rohnny shrugged and watched out for anyone listening.
"Oh he's definitely nothing like you by the sounds of it, but sure. What time?", said Remmy.
"After I pick him and his friends up from kindergarten. So, 4pm?", said Redd.
"Sounds fine, I'll bring a present.", said Remmy.
"Count me in, finally an excuse to ditch the old man and his soccer games.", said Rohnny.
Redd nodded and then saw his favorite type of entertainment, two nerds without style.
"Well well, look who it is! My second and third favorite nerds!", said Redd as he walked closer.
"Leave us alone, Redd.", said Revin.
"What do you mean second and third?", said Razz.
"I'm not obligated to tell you that, Razzy.", taunted Redd.
Frustrated with Redd already, Razz gave him the middle finger. Redd shot two back, his grin ever present.
Revin and Razz walked a way with a huff.
"Why do you even bother with those two? It not like they can actually give you a scratch.", said Remmy.
"You'll understand when your older, Remmy.", said Redd.
Rohnny nodded and patted his shoulder. It was times like this he hated being the youngest in the group. He sulked all the way to the cafeteria.

"Okay guys, my brother is going to pick us up on five minutes. Ready for the party?", said Double D.
"Sure am, Double D! Even if the other kids didn't want to come.", said Ed.
Eddy smacked him on the shoulder, "Way to state the obvious! No one's good enough to hang with us anyway!"
Double D hides the small presents he got from the others in his bag and zips it tight. He turns to the door and walks out. His friends walk behind him.
"My brother is inviting his friends, so be on your best behavior. I don't want to embarrass him.", said Double D.
"True, my brother is so much cooler though! No matter what I do I could never cramp his style!", boosted Eddy.
"Awe, you think I'm cool?", teased Redd.
Eddy huffed, acting like his cheeks aren't red and crossed his arms. He walked in front of everyone and they followed him. Ed and Double D held each of Redd's hands.
Eddy peeked behind him and got jealous. He was too prideful to admit it though. Double D let go of Redd's hand to jog up to Eddy. He held out his hand and Eddy hesitantly took it.
Double D walked back into place with Eddy and they all walked home together. Once they got there, Redd let go to open the door and the kids filed in one by one.
He shut the door and let them put their stuff in Double D's room to keep it out of the way.
"Now, party doesn't start for 15 minutes. What do you boys want to do? Help me finish setting up, do your homework.... Or......", Redd grinned at the other boys expressions," Do you want to open two of Baby cakes' presents?"
"Oh! Pick the last one Double D! Pick the last one!", said Eddy.
Ed jumped up and down as he nodded. Double D agreed to open two presents. Redd let them go as he went to the kitchen.
He washed a few dishes and cleaned the area around him until he heard the door bell. He took his gloves off and walked to the door. In front of him were his friends.
"Oh good, your punctual.", said Redd.
"We weren't sure what get him, so we both bought him something he probably already has.", said Remmy.
"Says you, there is no way he already has a space invader tool kit!", said Rohnny.
"Red or blue?", said Redd.
Rohnny looked him in the eye and said, " Yellow."
"Oh good, because he has both red and blue.", said Redd.
Getting impatient, Remmy pushed the two out of his way with a roll of his eyes. Rohnny and Redd glared at him, but ultimately followed him and closed the door.
Remmy and Rohnny frightened the kids, so they ran passed them to hide behind Redd. Redd laughed at this.
"Awe, kids. These guys won't hurt you, they have standards- you do have standards right?", poked Redd.
"Of course we do, why would I ever waist my time picking on kids?", Remmy said sarcastically.
"Well...", said Rohnny.
"Rhetorically question Rohnny.", said Remmy.
—————-
Eventually, things calmed down and the kids are now watching Redd and Rohnny play a video game and eat pizza.
"Ed, I wish you hadn't ruined the cake. I was looking forward to it.", said Eddy.
Ed looked at him and smiled, "I don't know about you Eddy, but I forgot."
Eddy stared at him and waited for him to finish. When he didn't, Eddy shouted.
"Forgot what?", said Eddy.
"I don't know, do you remember?", questioned Ed.
Eddy smacked his face and groaned. The doorbell then rang and Double D said he would get it.
In front of the door was a small girl with red hair and a small boy with blond hair. Double D opened the door and greeted them.
"Salutations, I'm Eddward but with two 'D's so most call me Double D. What are your names?", said Double D.
The girl already looked at him favorably and smiled. She told him she was Sarah and the boy is Jimmy.
"My parents said my brother, Ed, had to watch me- us. So can we come in? Double D~", sighed Sarah.
Jimmy held on to Sarah's arm and tighten his hold on freight when Ed heard his sister talking.
"Baby sister! Ed will hug you!", said Ed.
The tiny girl was hoisted up and carried into the house. Double D watched as he got out of the way. Sarah thrashed in Ed's arms, angry he interrupted her.
Double D looked at Jimmy and softly smiled. He held out his hand and waited for Jimmy to take it. Jimmy took Double D's hand shaking. Double D walked Jimmy into the house and closed the door.
