AN – Hey all! This is the beginning of my new story, Paper Mari-ed. I first thought of this story when Paper Mario for N64 came out. My brother was watching Ed, Edd, N Eddy while I was playing this, and I thought, 'I wonder what would happen if they were if Paper Mario?' Well, here it is. Please review when you read! For the record, I do not own anything in the Paper Mario world or in the Ed, Edd,and Eddy universe. Enjoy.

Chapter One – Resurrecting the Rocket

Eddy walked huffily down the street, covered in filth and bits of glass. Double D ran behind him, with a teary Ed following. They reached Ed's house, and Eddy kicked open the small window and jumped into Ed's room.

"Come on, Eddy!" Double D said pleadingly, trying to lower himself from the window.

"I don't wanna hear it, sockhead!" Eddy yelled, sitting on the chair and crossing his arms. "It's only 9 o'clock and has screwed up a golden scam!"

Ed jumped through the window, knocking Double D to the floor. He landed at Eddy's feet, sobbing.

"But E-E-Eddy! I didn't sniff mean to!" he cried.

"Yeah, yeah, tell it to someone who cares!" Eddy said.

"Face it Eddy. Glass blowing just wasn't one of your best ideas," Double D said, dusting himself off.

"Well I didn't see any brilliant scams comin out of your mouth!" Eddy shouted.

"Well I would rather properly educate the others in something useful than cheat them out of their money!" Double D retaliated.

"Whatever, Saint Cheeseball," Eddy said.

The three friends now sat in silence. Ed and Double D stared at Eddy.

"What?" Eddy said.

Another plan?" Double D asked. "Don't you have something else for us to do?"

"Yeah Eddy! What do we do now?" Ed asked.

"Er…um…" he stuttered. The others continued to stare. "I don't know OK? Geez, get off my back!"

"Well, I for one need to document this failed attempt to swindle money out of the others," he shot Eddy a dirty look," in my basement," Double D said, pulling a bag full of shattered glass out of his pocket.

"Sure, whatever," Eddy mumbled. "Got nothing better to do."

"Wow!" Ed said loudly as Double D flipped on the lights to his basement. Ed began to laugh as he ran off through the rows of failed experiments.

"I have every experiment and," sighing "scam that we have ever done," he said as he walked Eddy through the rows of past scams.

"Elevator shoes, eh…jet pack, blah…excavation machine, uh!" Eddy groaned, remembering their dire attempt to claim a quarter stuck tot the sidewalk with chewing gum.

"Hey what's this?" Ed asked as he reappeared by their side, pointing to a heap of metal.

"Oh, don't get me started, Ed! That was the 'rocket' Eddy used to convince the others that they were on a trip around the world!" Double D said, chuckling. "Preposterous, really, I mean the metals used to make this could never withstand-"

"Oh ya, I remember that! This scam was gold!" Eddy interrupted as the memory dawned on him. "Hmm…" he thought "I wonder why it didn't work?"

"Well, Eddy, if you re-"

"Hey I know guys!" Ed said loudly. The other two looked surprised. "Um…we could, uh, do this scam again, and resurrect it from the grave just like the Mind Muncher did against the battle of the Crow Beings!"

"Uh…Ed?" Double D said, confused, but a bright gleam had appeared in Eddy's eyes.

"Lumpy! That's brilliant! We can sucker these suckers out of their money for the same scam twice," Eddy began to laugh. "I have taught you well, Ed," he said evilly.

"Yes you have!" Ed replied.

"But Eddy, how will you ever-"Double D was cut off.

"Shut it, sockhead. Now, we need to make this thing bigger and better than the last time, so this is what were gonna do…"

"COME ONE COME ALL, TO EDDY'S ROCKET TO THE MOON!"

Jimmy and Sarah both looked up from their sandcastle. A large, silver rocket stood in the middle of the cul-de-sac. Eddy was sitting on top of Ed, screaming into a megaphone, while Double D polished the rocket's side. A large sign sat in front of the whole thing. In large, red writing, it read:

Eddy's Rocket Ride

Next Stop: Moon

"Oh, Sarah, a ride to the moon! Let's go!" Jimmy said excitedly, rushing over to the already forming crowd.

All of the cul-de-sac kids were gathered in front of the rocket. Eddy rushed to the very front.

"Hey folks! This rocket here is on a direct flight straight to the moon! Only 25 cents to reserve your seat! Make sure your included in the trip of a lifetime today!"

Everyone, including a forced Kevin, bought a seat. After everyone had been seated, and with a huge push from Ed, they were off at an alarming speed.

"Eddy, you do know that Ed is still on the exterior of this vehicle, right?" Double D asked, concerned for his friends safety.

"Ya ya, lumpy'll be fine," Eddy said casually as he steered the rocket recklessly.

"But…do you even know where you're going?"

"Ya, I've got it al planned out. After a while, lumpy will throw this 'space' tarp over the sides of this thing. Then, I'll just cruise right into the moon we set up in your garage."

"Yes, I do…my garage? Eddy when did you-"but Double D was cut off as a black tarp obstructed their front view.

"Hey what gives?" Eddy said, alarmed.

"Wow, Plank, we're in space!" Johnny shouted.

"Yeah, space," Kevin said sarcastically.

"Eddy, the others don't know! Stop this now before someone gets hurt!" Double D said.

"But sockhead," Eddy whined, jingling his jar full of cash "that means we have to give them their money back!"

"Oh, for heavens sake-"

Suddenly, the tarp flew off, only to reveal something worse.

Ed had finally managed to get the tarp off after realizing it was covering the cockpit's window. However, doing so didn't let him focus on his surroundings. He suddenly saw that they were on the cliff overlooking the swimming hole, and heading straight off the edge.

"Uh-oh."

"Eddy! Put on the brakes before…" but it was too late. The rocket flew off the cliff and began to glide.

"Hey…we're flying!" Eddy said, surprised.

"Dorks! We want off this thing now!" Kevin shouted, pushing his way into the cockpit.

"Get back to your seat, passenger!" Eddy yelled in his face, but both were stopped by Double D.

"We're falling! Brace for impact!" he screamed.

The collective screams of the Peach Creek kids rang out as the rocket collided, nose first, into the waters.
