It was a sunny morning in the Cul-de-Sac. Double D was reading a book about string theory in his bedroom while waiting for his friends Ed and Eddy.

"Hi Sockhead," Eddy said to Double D as he entered the room.

"Hiya Double D!" Ed said cheerfully as he entered the room.

"Salutations Ed and Eddy," Double D said when he noticed his friends. "It will be enjoyable when we discuss the books we read this week."

"That was too boring so I just didn't read," Eddy said nonchalantly.

"Don't worry I did some reading like you told me to Double D," said Ed as he took a superhero comic out of his coat.

"This happens every single time I ask you two read a book!" Double D said in an annoyed tone.

"We'll do it next time," said Eddy.

"But you never remember to!"

"Meh that's true."

"Thanks for trying Ed," said Double D. "While graphic literature can tell stories well, they are not as detailed as novels."

"Your welcome Double D," replied Ed. "Wait till you guys hear the crossover where No-Body Man fights Evil Tim."

"At least No-Body Man doesn't need a costume," said Eddy. "Superheroes can choose the weirdest costumes like having underpants showing."

"But Captain Underpants wear only underwear and a cape and he's cool," Ed replied.

"Isn't he that superhero from Piqua, Ohio," asked Eddy.

"From what I heard while Captain Underpants has an unusual choice of costume he is an quite powerful," said Double D. "According to eye witnesses he has fought mad scientists, robots, aliens, zombies, a supervillainess, and talking toilets."

"That sounds crazy," said Eddy.

"Captain Underpants also fought a a giant, evil dandelion," said Ed

"How do you know that?" asked Double D.

"When me and my family visited Piqua on vacation I got lost," replied Ed. "I eventually went into an elementary school. I walked into the cafeteria kitchen and saw two kids, a mean looking principal, and space aliens! The best part came when one of the aliens snapped their tentacle, and the principal became Captain Underpants! It was awesome there were not only were there aliens, but zombie nerds and a giant, evil dandelion. In the end, the zombie nerds were turned back to normal and Captain Underpants became the mean looking principal again when water was poured onto his head."

Both Double D and Eddy were visibly shocked.

"Ed," Double D said still shocked. "What ever you do you must not tell anyone else what you heard."

"I can't believe it," Eddy said softly. "I just found the perfect chance for a scam!"

"What do you mean?" asked Ed

"We'll just go to Piqua and find Captain Underpants as a principal, snap our fingers, and use him in a scam to get us quarters," said Eddy.

"Not this time Eddy," Double D said angrily. "We are not going to exploit a well-meaning superhero just to get quarters."

"Hey Ed," said Eddy. "Unless you make Double D come along with us you won't be able to meet a real live superhero."

"I want to meet Captain Underpants!' yelled Ed.

Ed grabbed Double D and ran out of the door.

"Put me down!" said Double D as he was being carried by Ed.

"To Piqua," said Eddy as he walked out the door.

Unbeknownst to the Eds, the decisions they made during that day would lead to the world being put in great danger, but we'll get to that later.
