When Nazz and Kevin Were..

**When Nazz and Kevin Were..** is an Ed, Edd n Eddy fanseries that covers the past of the canon characters, Nazz and Kevin.

They're portrayed as each other's best friend and are supposedly in love with each other, though Nazz is oblivious and Kevin's character development causes their once close relationship to become watered down in comparison.

In November of 2010, a fanfiction was written, but never finished or uploaded, while in 2012, two different short stories were submitted to The3Eds for the "Fanfic of the Season" contest. These told the same story, but from the other person's point of view.

Artwork was first uploaded at Deviantart on February 8, 2010.

## Story

### When Nazz and Kevin Were Fun (2010)

*Below is the original, unpublished text document.*

> Once we had a better relationship than we have now. We're still friends, but over the years the distance became greater.
>
> We can blame it on alot of things; me losing weight, Rolf, Kevin's new bike, or maybe my realization that he'll never ask me out, never dance with me, never say "yes".
>
>
> But he was a great friend. There are a few things I'll never forget:
>
>
> **Kevin likes elephants.**
>
>
> *"Run, Nazz, run!"*
>
>
> *"Dude, please, I can't..keep up..wait..!"*
>
>
> *"The ice cream truck is RIGHT over there, come on!"*
>
>
> *"Wait, wait!"*
>
>
> Nazz tripped, and a handful of quarters jumped right out of her pocket and landed in the sewer drain. She pulled herself back up, and saw Kevin disappearing behind a corner.
>
>
> *"I'm almost theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!"* she heard him yell in the far distance.
>
>
> *"Kevi-...! Ugh."*
>
>
> She stopped trying and rested her big, exhausted body on the ground. That Kevin, he always sprints off like that. As if he doesn't realize how much effort she has to take just to move one foot.
>
> She sighed. Maybe it's better she didn't get any ice cream, this was getting out of hand. Her money might as well landed in the sewer, it was better spend that way.
>
>
> Then Kevin approached her, holding an enormous horn with all kinds of ice cream flavours. *"Yo Nazz, where were you?"*
>
>
> *"Back already..?"* Nazz panted.
>
>
> *"And did you even leave?"*
>
>
> *"I.. just decided to skip it and wait for you here."*
>
>
> Kevin stared at her. *"Well, judging by the big crater in the street over there, I'd say you tripped."*
>
> Nazz didn't say anything and moved her eyes to the ground. The embarrassing moment spoke for its own.
>
>
> *"No worries, babe. I bought you an ice cream, too."* he smiled.
>
>
> Aw. Heck.
>
>
> He moved his hand away from his back and revealed an even greater horn filled with multiple random flavours, entirely decorated with whipped cream. And a little umbrella. When Nazz inspected the sugary goodness she saw that the whipped cream drew a big smiley face on the ice cream, and the umbrella was serving as a hat.
>
>
> *"Oh, Kevin..you shouldn't have. REALLY."* she said, hesitating to take it.
>
>
> *"I wouldn't forget about my best girl."* Kevin answered, and jammed the horn into her hands. He then took a big bite of his ice cream with the intention to look cool, but immediately got paralyzed by the brainfreeze, followed by him spinning around on the sidewalk like a dying fly. Nazz could do nothing but grin.
>
> Well, she could help him ease the pain, but nobody does so in cartoons. Gloating on its best.
>
>
> She looked at her own ice cream. It certainly looked delicious, but she just couldn't take it. Of course, the gesture was nice, but the last thing she needed was more sugar.
>
>
> *"..Kevin, you have it."* she sighed.
>
>
> Kevin stopped twirling like a mad person and looked up. *"Why? Don't like it that I paid for you? If you don't, you can always pay me back."*
>
>
> *"No. I just..don't want this anymore."*
>
>
> *"The ice cream? Are there bugs on it?"*
>
>
> *"No, my body."*
>
>
> *"There're bugs on your body, or is your body on your ice cream?"* Kevin snickered.
>
>
> *"I'm not really in the mood for jokes, dude, you know what I mean."*
>
>
> *"Not again.."* he sighed, and rolled his eyes.
>
>
> *"Listen, I don't care. Nobody cares. Eat your ice cream."*
>
>
> *"You always say that. Even if people don't care, I just don't feel good in my body."*
>
>
> *"What do you mean?"*
>
>
> *"I have trouble moving. I'm tired. I'm ugly."*
>
>
> *"You're not ugly."*
>
>
> *"And my health is in danger."*
>
>
> Kevin scratched the back of his head. He never liked it when she talked this way about herself. In his eyes she was great. It was hard for him to see the "problem" through her eyes.
>
>
> *"You know, Nazz, you're an elephant."* he then said.
>
>
> *"THANKS ALOT."* Nazz growled at him.
>
>
> *"And elephants are big. They can't lose weight, they were born that way. They are big, but also very smart and cool."*
>
>
> *"I don't want to be an elephant."* she pouted.
>
>
> *"I like elephants."*
>
>
> *"I REALLY don't want to be an elephant."*
>
>
> *"I REALLY like elephants."*
>
>
> Nazz stopped replying. She looked at him, sighed, and gave him a little smile.
>
> *"There you go."* Kevin said cheerfully. *"Eat your ice cream."*
>
>
> When Nazz turned her head back to her ice cream, she noticed there was nothing left of it.
>
> *"Strange how such a big ice cream melts away that quickly. What a waste."* she said.
>
>
> *"Actually.."* Kevin began, *"..you just ate it."*
>
>
> **What they say about good dancers doesn't have to be true.**
>
>
> *"Nazz! Hurry up, if we go now we can go home before those dorks come crashin' the party. NAZZ."*
>
> Kevin was banging on her door, but nobody answered.
>
> "NAZZ, don't make me sing a semi-catchy tune!"
>
>
> *"I'm not going."* said a voice from inside.
>
>
> *"Why not?"*
>
>
> *"Nothing fits me, and nobody ever dances with me. I always feel so stupid at school dances."*
>
>
> *"Maybe this time someone will."* Kevin tried to reassure her. *"Besides, nobody ever dances on a dance. We can go, take the free food, and then go home."*
>
>
> *"But, I want-.."* she mumbled to herself.
>
>
> All of the sudden Kevin appeared in her window. *"GET READY AND LET'S GO."*
>
>
> Nazz jumped up, *"BWAA!.. Eh.. no, I'm staying home..! Sorry, dude."*
>
>
> *"Come on. I'll dance with you?"*
>
> "You promised last time, and the time before. You'll just end up saying you're not really a dancer."
>
>
> *"Right.."* he answered.
>
>
> *"If you really want to go, then go. Don't worry about me."*
>
>
> *"You're sure?"*
>
>
> *"Sure."*
>
>
> Kevin said goodbye and jumped through her window.
>
> Nazz didn't move, and just sat on the same spot for at least 15 minutes. It was boring alright, but when she was inside her room people couldn't laugh about how stupid and sad she looked in her dress. She knew the others were talking about her.
>
> When she was around they were overall nice to her, but there were only a few who honestly meant it. Kevin, being her only friend, was one of them. A real friend; a guy with a status like his' would never want to hang out with someone like her. He was a special exception. Or maybe she was.
>
>
> Before she sank away in her own thoughts, she heard a racket coming from outside.
>
> *"JACKPOT."* she heard someone shout. That's usually a word reserved for Eddy, but it sounded alot like..
>
>
> Suddenly Kevin entered her window again, followed by a big blanket filled with stuff.
>
> *"Hey, babe. I brought the party; I snatched all the snacks."* he laughed, and unfolded the blanket revealing all kinds of goodies, including Plank. *"This is going to be a party for two. No dorks allowed."*
>
>
> **The shepherd has a son.**
>
>
> *"Wow, Kevin, a new kid!"*
>
>
> *"His name better not be "Edwin"."*
>
>
> There was a big moving truck in the Cul-de-Sac, and Nazz and Kevin were the first to be at the spot. They saw a whole bunch of animals getting out of the truck, and a boy carrying an entire sofa scolding the animals for their "lack of helpfulness".
>
>
> *"Finally, a cool dude after this wave of losers."* Kevin said as he ran towards him.
>
>
> *"Losers."*, Nazz thought to herself. What did he mean by that? Was he saying she was a loser, or was he talking about "finally meeting an awesome boy"?
>
> Nazz followed shortly after Kevin to meet this "cool, couch-carrying dude".
>
>
> *"Why, hi, new kid."* she greeted him.
>
> "Hello giant ball of female who is friend of the one who has a head shaped like the downside of a golf club." *the boy greeted her back.*
>
>
> *"Ha ha, isn't he great?!"* Kevin laughed.
>
>
> *"Eddy once said the exact same thing, and then you didn't think so.."* Nazz muttered.
>
>
> *"Anyway, I'm going to give Rolf a tour and then help him unpack."*
>
>
> *"Oh, that's great, can I.."*
>
>
> *"Don't wait for us!"* Kevin yelled as he and Rolf ran off.
>
>
> Rolf. She already didn't like his face. Who was he to steal away her only friend, just because he's new?
>
>
> Once we had a better relationship than we have now. We're still friends, but over the years the distance became greater.

### When Nazz and Kevin Were Fun (2012)

*Below are the original text documents that were submitted to the The3Eds fanfiction contest.*

#### Kevin's side

*(Click "Expand" to read)>*

> Yesterday sucked. The worst day of his life. Who did they think they were anyway, telling him what he could and couldn’t do, they weren’t his parents. But what was he supposed to do now? If he didn't follow their orders, he was no longer welcome.
>
>
> *“Hi, Kev, aren’t you looking cute?”*
>
>
> Kevin opened his eyes and looked down. There he saw a girl standing in the tall grass, giving him a friendly smile. She was gesturing to his hair and he immediately knew what she meant. He just nodded and returned a little, forced smile. Not that he wasn't happy to see her, but he was so lost in his thoughts, her sudden presence surprised him.
>
> The girl had pitch-dark eyes, red lips, and short golden hair. When looking straight down at her, she looked like a big, perfect circle. She was huge, especially for someone her age.
>
>
> *“Like your hair.”* Nazz giggled.
>
>
> *“I bet you do.”*
>
>
> *“I knew you didn’t hate it.”* she smirked.
>
>
> *“Well, you know..”* Kevin mumbled, *“I was too lazy to get rid of it, and then I forgot..”*
>
>
> Yesterday she took the liberty of braiding his hair. It wasn't exactly his style, but it satisfied her and that was all that mattered.
> It was funny how Nazz always complained how her hair was too short to make a decent braid or ponytail, yet she never bothered to let it grow. He never asked her why she didn't do so, but he didn't mind lending her his hair for her fashion experiments. Anything to give himself another reason to hang out with her.
>
>
> *“So-uh, what’s up?”* Kevin asked.
>
>
> *“I was actually going for the apples in the tree, before I saw you sitting up there. What are you doing there, anyway?”*
>
>
> *“Nothing. Just hanging out.”*
>
>
> *“All by yourself, huh. That's not like you.”*
>
>
> *“Well, you know, there's not much to do today.”* he shrugged.
>
>
> *“..Why didn't you come over, then?”*
>
>
> *“Oh. Yeah.. eh.."* Kevin stammered, *"I was just really busy..thinking."*
>
>
> "I was waiting for you."
>
>
> *"Sorry, I forgot."*
>
>
> *"You're forgetting alot of things today."* Nazz smiled nervously, *"But don't sweat it, dude, I knew you wouldn't purposely ditch me."*
>
>
> Kevin looked at the giant girl. Her smiles were always so warm, it usually made him forget about his worries. But the fact that she was standing here and smiled so much only meant her parents didn't talk to her about it.
>
> He expected as much. They were cowards.
>
>
> Kevin moved his fingers over his braid. Yesterday was terrible, but if it made sense, it was also the best day he ever had. The moments that counted were nearly magical. Fudge, potato chips, cookies, cake; it was a party for two and no one else was invited. Kevin remembered feeling butterflies in his stomach that whole hour. All went well, until Nazz' parents entered the room and broke off their party.
>
> The horrified expression on their faces described the whole situation, but especially the way they looked at their own daughter infuriated him. Nazz probably didn't even notice the disgust in their eyes. Maybe it was better that way.
>
>
> But that night they appeared at his door, and everything went downhill the moment he heard his father's voice calling for him.
>
>
> It was wrong, they told him. They claimed he made everything worse and was guiding Nazz head first into her own grave. Kevin couldn't believe the words he heard, he would never try to harm her. But they believed different. Even his father agreed with them, it was humiliating.
>
> He knew she was big, but he also knew she looked good. He didn't care if she ate too much, he wanted to do everything that made her happy, but got scolded for giving her all she deserved.
>
> They demanded him to play the same silly game everyone else was playing with her. He had to make her believe she was ugly and was going to die, all this in order to "save" her.
>
>
> Of course Nazz complained about her body now and then, but only when people commented on it. There was a simple solution to this problem, and that was to embrace the truth: there was no problem. They turned this into a problem. They all had a deluded idea of how "normal" should look like.
>
>
> Kevin's inner ramblings made his face tense till the point his head started to hurt. Nazz, who was busy reaching for the apples in the tree, stopped and looked at him.
>
> *"Hey, you alright, Kev?"* she asked.
>
>
> *"Yeah, fine."* he replied.
>
>
> *"Do you have a tummy ache from yesterday?"*
>
>
> *"No, man, I'm fine."* Kevin muttered.
>
>
> *"Then.. is it your hair? You can tell me if you don't like it, I don't mind."*
>
>
> *"It's nothing like that, everything's fine!"* he repeated, and turned his back to her.
>
>
> Just what was he going to do? He didn't want to say goodbye to his only friend over something stupid, but neither did he want to make Nazz believe he didn't approve of her. How could he explain the situation without upsetting her. He didn't want to make her think all this happened because of her weight. He had hoped to have the time to think all of this through before meeting up with her, but he should've expected she'd go looking for him.
>
>
> After a short silence Kevin heard footsteps silently walk away from him. He quickly turned around and saw Nazz leaving. Where was she going to?
>
> Kevin stared at her for a little while, but it didn't look like she was coming back. Did he say something wrong? Maybe his answers were a bit curt, but it wasn't his intention to scare her away. He couldn't believe what he had just done, he took his anger out on the only person he cared about. This was all her parents' fault.
>
>
> *"I didn't mean to yell at you!"* he yelled at her.
>
>
> *"..You're yelling at me now!"* she yelled back at him.
>
>
> *"Come back here!"*
>
>
> As Nazz turned around, Kevin jumped out of the tree. It was pointless to mope around her. He was not planning to tell her what happened yesterday, neither was he going to follow the orders of a couple of lame adults. They could go jump off a cliff.
>
> Everything was better when he and Nazz just did whatever they wanted. And what was holding them back, really. What her parents didn't know, couldn't hurt them. Nothing was going to change, this was his final decision.
>
> "You know what, let's get some jawbreakers from the garage." *he smiled, as he clumsily tried to place his arm over her giant shoulder.*
>
>
> *"Oh Kev, you know I can't have jawbreakers."*
>
>
> *"You can have whatever you like."*
>
>
>
>
>
>

#### Nazz' side

*(Click "Expand" to read)>*

> Where could he be? He always picked her up in the morning, but it was almost 12 pm. Maybe he was sick.
>
> Nazz looked out of the window; but the streets were still empty. The other kids were long gone, doing whatever they usually did. Maybe it was best to go do something by herself. But what. She and Kevin were an inseparable duo, she couldn't imagine a day without him. Having that said, he must've had a good reason why he didn't show up that morning.
>
>
> Nazz looked at the alarm clock on her desk. It was past 12. She let out a deep sigh, left her room and headed for the stairs. His absence worried her, and doing nothing wouldn't answer any questions. Sometimes you just need to break a habit and do things yourself.
> Halfway the stairs she came face to face with her mother.
>
>
> *"Ah, Nazz-darling, were you in bed all this time?"* her mother asked.
>
>
> *"No, dude, I was waiting for Kevin, but he's still not here."* Nazz replied.
>
>
> *"Don't say "dude", darling, your father is more than I can handle."*
>
>
> *"Sorry, dude. I'm going to Kevin's to see what's up. You don't have to set the table for me, I'll have breakfast there. Later!"* Nazz yelled, as she ran down the last half of the stairs.
>
>
> *"What!"* Nazz' mother shouted, *"Wait! Nazz-darling, wait a minute, maybe it's best if you stayed here!"*
>
>
> But she had already left the house. Nazz' mother had a worried look on her face, she hoped Kevin remembered what to do.
>
> Nazz skipped happily over to Kevin's house and knocked on the door. Then she remembered all houses had a doorbell, and pressed the button instead. Nazz rolled her eyes at herself. After a while an unshaved man opened the door.
>
>
> *"Hello, Mr. Kevin's dad! Shouldn't you be working?"* she smiled.
>
>
> *"I should, but I'm not."* he winked.
>
>
> Nazz took a peek inside the house and saw Kevin's mother busy wrapping up a large box. It looked big enough to contain something like a train set, a whiteboard, or a bike. Nazz was sure it wasn't Kevin's birthday today, but she knew his father loved surprising him. He probably stayed home to give him the present whenever Kevin decided to come downstairs, just to see his face. She wished her father was like him. Most of the neighbourhood kids shared the same wish.
>
>
> *"So, is Kevin awake?"* she asked.
>
>
> *"Eh, yes, Kevin went outside to play earlier this morning. But don't you two always play together, what are you doing here?"*
>
>
> Kevin already left without her? Why would he do something like that?
>
> It was pointless to stay, as it looked like his father was just as clueless. Nazz ran off, leaving Kevin's father standing in the door opening with a confused look on his face. Where was she supposed to look for him now? Kevin was always at home or with her, neither of them had a spot where they'd usually hang out.
>
>
> Nazz' stomach started growling, she hadn't eaten anything since she got out of bed. She had hoped to have breakfast at Kevin's, but now she just had to settle with finding herself a small snack. This wasn't the first time she roamed around the neighbourhood looking for food. Her parents were very strict about her diet, and if she ate outside the house, they had no control over her. Luckily there were alot of bushes and trees growing food in Peach Creek. The 4 trees in the open field nearby were one of those, and hopefully they were still growing apples.
>
>
> When she approached the field, she saw that all the trees were still loaded. Nazz sighed in relief. Avoided the tasteless, grey crackers again.
>
> As she headed towards the first tree, she spotted a boy sitting, or rather hiding, in the branches. Kids actually visited this boring place?
>
> As she came closer she started to recognize the boy's clothing. He was wearing a green sleeveless shirt, black shorts, and had long, dark-red hair.
>
> It was Kevin. This was the last place she would've looked for him, Nazz wondered what he was doing there all by himself. She stopped in front of the tree and looked up, but Kevin didn't notice her at all. He had his eyes closed, but looked far from relaxed. He was silently lying on a branch with his head resting on his hands, but it didn't look like he was doing something.
> Nazz narrowed her eyes and saw part of a braid sticking out from under his head. Then she smiled.
>
>
> *“Hi, Kev, aren’t you looking cute?”*
>
>
> Kevin opened his eyes and looked down. Nazz gestured to his hair, but he just nodded and returned a little, forced smile. He was probably feeling a little embarrassed, but she was happy to see he cared more about the braid she gave him yesterday than he made her believe at first. It looked different, but it suited him. There wasn't much that didn't suit him, sometimes it made her jealous.
>
> It was funny how she always complained how her hair was too short to make a decent braid or ponytail, yet she never bothered to let it grow. Maybe she just wanted to give herself another reason to hang out with Kevin.
>
>
> *“Like your hair.”* Nazz giggled.
>
>
> *“I bet you do.”*
>
>
> *“I knew you didn’t hate it.”* she smirked.
>
>
> *“Well, you know..”* Kevin mumbled, *“I was too lazy to get rid of it, and then I forgot... So-uh, what’s up?”*
>
>
> *“I was actually going for the apples in the tree, before I saw you sitting up there. What are you doing there, anyway?”* Nazz replied.
>
>
> *“Nothing. Just hanging out.”*
>
>
> *“All by yourself, huh. That's not like you.”*
>
>
> *“Well, you know, there's not much to do today.”* he shrugged.
>
>
> *“..Why didn't you come over, then?”*
>
>
> *“Oh. Yeah.. eh.."* Kevin stammered, *"I was just really busy.. thinking."*
>
>
> *"I was waiting for you."*
>
>
> *"Sorry, I forgot."*
>
>
> *"You're forgetting alot of things today."* Nazz smiled nervously, *"But don't sweat it, dude, I knew you wouldn't purposely ditch me."*
>
>
> She could only hope so. It wasn't hard to notice Kevin was acting very strange. They played together every day since they were little, and after all this time he suddenly forgot about her? He had something on his mind.
>
> She didn't want to come across paranoid, but the thought of living a day without Kevin scared her. She always tried to be liked by everybody, and everybody liked her, but there was only one person who was willing to hold her hand and walk beside her. Kevin was her only friend. He was genuine. She didn't want to do anything to upset him or chase him away, but for all she knew she was trying too hard.
>
>
> It was an unusual start of the day, but Nazz wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe something happened at home, or maybe he wasn't feeling well. Maybe it had nothing to do with her.
>
> Nazz decided to let the issue rest and tried to reach for the apples in the tree. But as she was doing so, Kevin started to frown. Nazz stopped and looked at him. Did she do something wrong? He was looking in her direction, but not really at her, making it hard to tell if it was her doing.
>
> Just what was going on inside that square head of his?
>
>
> *"Hey, you alright, Kev?"* she asked.
>
>
> *"Yeah, fine."* he replied.
>
>
> *"Do you have a tummy ache from yesterday?"*
>
>
> Yesterday they had turned her room in one big candy store, and they were the only customers. Kevin could be a heavy eater like her, but it wouldn't surprise her if he had trouble keeping up. Of course, she was a whole lot more experienced than him.
>
>
> Talking about a good experience: yesterday was easily the best day she ever had. It was just her, Kevin, and whatever sweets they could get their hands on. Nazz remembered feeling butterflies in her stomach that whole hour. All went well, until her parent came into the room and broke off their cake eating contest. It was so lame, they had barely started.
>
> For no reason they ordered her to do her chores, which weren't even her chores, they just made them up on the spot so they could send Kevin home. Sometimes she thought they didn't like Kevin, but she wasn't sure about that, as they never talked that much about him.
>
> That night she wanted to talk to them about it, but like always, they didn't respond to her complaints and changed the subject.
>
>
> *"No, man, I'm fine."* Kevin muttered.
>
>
> *"Then.. is it your hair? You can tell me if you don't like it, I don't mind."*
>
>
> *"It's nothing like that, everything's fine!"* he repeated, and turned his back to her.
>
>
> Nazz looked at him with a mixture of confusion and sadness. It looked like he indeed was annoyed by her, but what did she do? Nazz tried to think back, but she couldn't come up with anything. They've never had a fight or an argument, and there had never been a day they didn't know how to entertain each other. They were the best of friends.
>
> But what if only she thought so. Kevin was always so nice towards her, while most kids rather avoided her and burned her invitation to their birthday party. It was very dubious, but what would Kevin want from her? She had nothing to offer him.
>
> For all she knew he only hanged out with her because he felt sorry for her, but now he just had enough. Maybe she took his act of pity too seriously, became clingy, and Kevin didn't have the courage to tell her to get lost. Was that what was going on right now?
>
>
> Nazz looked at her body. There was hardly a moment she wasn't eating, and she had to admit, a girl who continuously stuffs food in her face wasn't really charming to look at. It wouldn't surprise her if it annoyed him. She was ruining his "tough guy" image, she was nothing like him, yet he always made her believe he didn't care for any of that. Was that a lie?
>
>
> No matter what the reason for Kevin's behaviour was, it was clear he wasn't in the mood to see her, or anyone else. The apple field was an abandoned place; nobody ever played there, because there was nothing to do. If Kevin decided to go here, then he probably didn't want to be found. Maybe it was better to respect his desire to be alone. They had spend so much time together, a short break wouldn't kill them, would it. No, but Nazz couldn't help herself and feel sad.
>
> But a good friend stays a good friend, even in hard times.
>
>
> Defeated, Nazz turned around and walked away.
>
> Walking away like that made her feel uneasy; it felt like she missed something important. The reason why Kevin was so angry. She wanted to hit herself on the head for being so stupid, but she just couldn't think of anything she might have done to have caused this. But Nazz didn't get the chance to think it through a second time, as she suddenly heard Kevin's voice from the distance.
>
>
> *"I didn't mean to yell at you!"* he yelled at her.
>
>
> Nazz looked over her shoulder. That didn't take long.
> *"..You're yelling at me now!"* she yelled back at him.
>
>
> *"Come back here!"* he shouted.

> As Nazz turned around, Kevin jumped out of the tree. His face had completely changed, it looked like something relieved him of all his anger. It made her curious to know what happened.
> His face welcomed her once again, and apparently he managed to silence his inner struggle all by himself. Should she ask him for clearance? Maybe it was best to forgive and forget. If he really wanted to talk about it, he would've done so. Now it looked like he was merely asking her to continue where they had left off, and honestly, there was nothing wrong with that. It was all she ever wanted. Hopefully nothing was ever going to change. But after everything they've been through, was it really something to worry about?

## Characters

### Nazz

Nazz from the past is overweight, as revealed in the episode "Every Which Way But Ed". At this point in her life, Kevin is her one and only true friend. She's uncertain about her weight, but at the same time, doesn't mind getting sweets whenever possible.

When Rolf moves into the neighbourhood, some distance grows between the two, and when Kevin gets a bike, it only worsens. Nazz, thinking she's lost his interest because she's too unappealing, starts working out every day and loses weight until she becomes the girl she's known as in the original series. This results to almost every boy in the cul-de-sac getting a crush on her, though Kevin has to explain to her her weight was never the issue and apologizes for abandoning her.

Nevertheless, their current friendship is a parody compared to what they used to share. As she developed a crush on him over time, this conclusion and that of the Ed, Edd n Eddy movie leaves her with many regrets, but without an understanding of what she could've done differently.

### Kevin

Kevin from the past had long hair, as revealed in the episode "Every Which Way But Ed". He had no particular obsessions around this time and hanging out with Nazz was his sole priority.

When Rolf moves into the neighbourhood, Kevin celebrates it by announcing to finally have a "cool guy" to befriend, whereafter he leaves Nazz standing. Kevin perceivably prefers him over her, but when given a bike for his birthday, he starts neglecting Rolf as well.

After he talked things over with his two friends, they deemed it water under the bridge, though their original friendship never got re-established.

### Rolf

Rolf did not play a part in Nazz and Kevin's past, as he moved to Peach Creek at a later time. Kevin was first to approach him and he accepted his friendship right away.

When Kevin was gifted his bike, he didn't make time for him as much he used to, and Nazz was feeling the same neglect. After they addressed his behaviour, Kevin promised to make more time, but things never reverted back to normal.
