Named Eden.
The other from Noblesville.
Named Hope.
They both chose to go to Vincennes University, in Southern Indiana. Hope remembers seeing Eden around and thinking "That girl seems really kick ass!" Then seeing her again, and the girl stopping her to say "Hey, I like your dress." But they never said much after that. Until a day where a huge group of mutual friends were sitting at a table, and Eden and Hope happened to sit next to each other.
Eden looked at Hope and said, "Hi, I'm Eden, and I'm retarded."
And so began a beautiful friendship.
Hope invited Eden to a party at the fraternity house she was going to that evening, and Eden accepted! So Hope and Eden went back to their dorm rooms in Vanderburgh Hall and changed. When the two girls went out into the lobby to meet, they took one look at each other and laughed. They were both in MATCHING outfits. The girls went on a long walk to the fraternity house, and they started dancing to Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko all the way down the street, and being loud and fun.
Well, they didn't end up partying together that night, but over time, Hope and Eden became so close they became each other's other half. They began calling each other half, they also had crazy nicknames for each other like, Weirdy Butt McGhee and Butt Munch McGhee. They figured if they were halves, they made a whole. Which ended up as them becoming, EDOPE, fo sho!
Eden needed a ride home for Fall Break, and since Hope lived close to Eden, they ended up meeting Eden's mom Angela at M-Plan. Which, coincidentally, BOTH Hope's mom, Nancy, and Angela WORKED THERE AT THE SAME TIME!!!! Crazy right? Well, then Eden went to Hope's around the time fall break was ending, and they hung out and had their first sleep over.
Then they went back to Vincennes together. That's about the time that Eden decided to invite Hope on Spring Break. Hope accepted, of course.
Eden had a Nintendo, and they played Donkey Kong. A LOT. They were pros. They're favorite character? Rhiney! He was the coolest Rhiney in the History of Rhineys!
Thanksgiving break was simple, Hope and Eden spent it together, and then Michael, [Hope's boyfriend at the time] came the night before they were to head back to Vincennes, and well, he was talking a lot so they hit him in the face with Turkey. So he was dubbed "Turkeyface" [clever, right?!]
Winter break, well they spent almost the whole break together. It was truly amazing. They had a Black and White themed New Years party where Hope's long time High School best friend, Ali, decided to take "water shots." So she was dubbed "Alephedora Watershots."

That break, they also got a couple matching shirts while shopping with their moms at different times! They didn't even mean too. But then the girls went shopping together and they both got POKEMON shirts. Hope got a Pikachu one, and Eden got a Charmander one! Heck yahhhh!!!
After Christmas break, the two girls started to fall for two guys that were at the fraternity house a lot. One lived there the other visited. Eden started to date Ryan, and Hope started to date Kenny. Thus became the most awesome group ever. They always played beer pong together and everything. Shortly after the four started dating, Edope went on spring break to Jekyll Island, Georgia! Edope had a blast, they played the Juno soundtrack OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

Not too long after that vacation ended, Hope, Eden, Ryan, Michael, and Langdon went on a camping trip... A camping trip of dooooom!
[look how excited she is!]
[she's clearly excited too]
They were excited to see that the camping trip ended, and then came the end of the school year, and they were apart for months. Hope would come and visit Vincennes every now and then, but they were still apart, until the end of July/early August when Edope reunited at Warped Tour.
They ended up rooming together that year in Vanderburgh. Although, they did not stay in the room together often, they were room mates. They formed an awesome BAND! Where they only wrote one song! But it was funny. They very few adventures that year, as they were very busy.
Hope eventually moved away from Vincennes, and though, Eden and Ryan had moved up to Indy too, they just had a few misunderstandings and didn't hang out.
Hope ended up having a little baby boy on October 14, 2009, named Noah. Eden and Ryan came to visit as a surprise to Hope, and she was very excited to see two of her absolute favorites!
Eden and Ryan ended up moving back to Vincennes, just as Eden and Hope got closer again. So they continued their Edope-ness from afar. They always have reunions now.
And, Eden, well she's the father to mister noey bean!
Edope has a reunion tomorrow, June 10, 2011, to go see THE BLACK KEYS! They are both very excited to get their stalk on! Be prepared for some fun awesome pictures. And because I know you're about to ask, THEY WILL BE MATCHING! <3
Eden is getting married next year to Ryan, and Hope is very excited for the both of them. Hope is the Maid-Of-Hotness in the wedding! How exciting!
Do you have any friends that are like this?
