It was a dark and cold night in autumn, as the moon glowed orange and yellow in the sky. The wind blew some leaves in this spooky hour.
As more leaves were blown, lightning then struck along with booming thunder with writing appearing to us.
Ed, Edd n Eddy's Chaotic Halloween
Chapter 1: The curse of Chaos and Disharmony
At a strange dark place, the door opened before two people with glowing eyes entered. Then, it closed before a match lit up, showing two familiar Little Misses.
The first one Little Miss Naughty speaks, "This is a tale of madness. Of wicked evil; of dark and foreboding shadows that will chill you to the bone."
Then, Miss Naughty yelped from holding the match. Then, another light was lit on a candle before she looked seriously. Miss Scary on the other hand pulled out a flashlight and shined her face.
"Any who, we like to present you a little tale we call the Bloody cemetery!" Miss Scary announced.
But then both frowned as if remembering something.
"Ok, we like to but they don't let us tell this kind of stuff at least in this case. Rating restrictions, ya know." She said
"However we do have one, we'll tell instead." said Miss Naughty. "Tonight's selection is a chilling tale of mayhem and three kids who let their curiosity lead them to trouble."
"SO without further ado we bring you, Ed, Edd n Eddy's Chaotic Halloween" continued Miss Scary.
They draw some curtains showing some illustrations with a voice narrating.
'Twas a long time ago the land known as equestrian was down on its luck.
Discord, the mischievous spirit of disharmony ruled in an eternal state of unrest and unhappiness. Thus made life, miserable for many creatures: especially ponies, animals, humans and magical beings alike.
And then along came Celestia and Luna who combined the elements of Harmony, stopping him in his tracks.
They jailed him by turning him to stone, yet everything has a flaw. The spell won't keep him contained forever since the princesses are no longer connected to the elements.
One day he will return and the balance will be shifted once more.'
The changes which we clearly see the present day in Toontown where Stacy Stickler is narrating a story report for their school of Magic classes with the Winx club and guardians.
"Thank you Stacy." spoke a fairy known as Bloom, "So guys, what did you think of her report?"
"That's Bunk!" Lance said aloud.
"It's not bunk, for your BIG Fat information, we read in a book and if you had been paying attention to the Quibbler or Daily Prophet, it had happened again in Equestria about a few months ago."
"It was a cool report," Matt said "It probably went over your head,"
"The report was supposed to be on history of the neighboring magic realms." Lance retorted "Not American Mcgee's: Chaos in Wonderland"
"That's enough…" Layla said sternly "Although Stacy's report was a bit unusual, legends and myths are a real part of history."
"Especially here in Toontown, we believe it was incredible." added Kylie
The kids in class along with the winx club then hear some screaming coming from outside. Through the windows, we see the Eds running from the kids of the culdesac; one of their scams was messed up again, which explained the warpath.
Beth awkwardly turned to Stacy and asked "SO Stacy what was the curse the spirit placed?"
"Not entirely, a curse, more like a catch to his imprisonment lack of harmony between everyone else."

After evading the angry kids, the Eds were making plans and taking precautions for Halloween.
"I can't wait to put on my costume." Eddy said excitedly "Maybe this time there won't be any mishaps from Lumpy over here."
True, because the Eds last Halloween wasn't very pleasant. Because Ed had been watching too many horror flicks and started to hallucinate that the kids were monsters and pummels each one. This ended up with them starting to beat up Eddy and Double D as a result. And it didn't help that the map of Eddy's brother was just another wild goose chase.
"Um Eddy," spoke Double D to his friend, "I hate to spoil the moment of our usual Halloween plans, but don't you think we ought to be focusing on that social project, the guardians assigned us."
"Chill out, we got a lot of candy collecting to do. And I'm all for getting into the crowd as the next person."
A crow caws near the boys, they look out beyond the town to see a wasteland, where the grass was barely growing and the skies were darkened by masses of clouds.
"Except there's one place, we won't be stopping to trick or treat not to mention the certain place were supposed to do the project."
"The lurkim where the old Once-ler dwells," Ed says grimly
"Now you two, we shouldn't judge a book by its cover." Double D said sternly
"Let's just get moving, sock head," Eddy said as he pushes both Ed and Double D away, "That place gives me the creeps."
As they were heading back into town the winx club and the guardians ran into them.
"Hey guys" the girls greeted.
"Hi girls," they replied.
"Boys have you guys finished your social project?" Haruna inquired "Because King Mickey said he had just been to the Lurkim and it not's getting any better for the environment either."
"And the least we can do is help the Once-ler in whatever we can." said Bloom
"Uh, we'll go right on it later." Eddy said nervously.
"Oh really? Cause it looked like you guys were going away from the Lurkim," said Zaira
"Look guys, we told you to head out to the Lurkim." Bloom said "which is your social project and you haven't done it."
Eddy then began to think up some excuses, "We don't have a toxic waste permit. And we took a cold pill and not supposed to do chores,"
"Please excuse, Eddy and Ed," Double D said "They're a bit nervous about meeting the old Once-ler due to the rumors they been hearing although I found out part of them is sadly true."
"Chill out guys," Beth said "I know he messed up in the past, but he's very sweet and kind hearted."
"Not to mention, he turned a few heads back then even now" said Madame Foster, who was passing with Sugah Mama
"I'll say he was quite the hunk." agreed Sugah mama
Eddy and Ed looked like they were about to gag while Double d just nodded
"Hello girls, we're talking about the mysterious old guy who lives in the middle of that wasteland." argued Eddy.
Flora frowned before speaking "We're aware, who you mean Eddy; we're onto something really meaningful and important with him and us students in Alfea which is to help revive the truffula valley."
"And he's like the loveable grandpa you like to have." Dana added.
"Wait till he screams at ya," mutters Eddy
"Eddy!" Double D scolded.
"Look guys you know how important this social project is," says Techna
"Most of us are on good terms with you three but you still need to earn everyone else's respect in Toontown." Beth said patronizingly.
"Still?" Eddy asked
"I want you, Ed and Double D to head over to the lurkim and help the old Once-ler with his yard. I don't want to hear that you decided to pull one of your scams there either."
"But it's almost dusk, and it's dark over there. Plus we heard he's a grouch around visitors."
"No excuses just GO!"
"And another thing," Kylie added "on Halloween when you finish your trick or treating, I want to hear that you paid the Once-ler a visit."
Eddy and Ed groan while Double D urges them to move. "Now they have a good reason, remember not to judge someone by their appearance."

The Eds reach the borders of the town which led to the wasteland, where harsh and sours winds blew and the only animals around were crows.
They follow the path which leads further and further into the wasteland and into a canyon with some warning signs posted nearby. They read: "Beware; Danger; No entry; Stay out; I mean it!"
Finally at the end of the path they reached a misty dark place where a lamppost had a sign that read Street of the lifted Lorax with a crow cawing nearby.
Beyond the lamp was a tall, oddly shaped building, fenced by a wrought iron fence and an iron gate. Cautiously the three boys opened the gate and started towards the house – well Double d opened it with latex gloves then closed it delicately behind them.
Lightning and thunder struck from behind the building, causing the fear of entering it intensify and the mist to clear up.
They gulp and hesitantly walk up to the tall building.
Now that they were closer to the front door, they couldn't help but feel that they were being watched. They looked up at the sign on the front door. "The Once-ler…" Eddy read. "Well, we're at the right address. Let's get this over with"
"Um, Eddy I believe a word of caution is in order," spoke Double D
"What?"
"I mean it's fair to warn you, we won't see him, don't knock at his door or so I'm told, he prefers to stay on top of the store of his building."
"How do the winx and the guardians expect us to do the project, if we can't see the old geezer?!"
Ed then says brightly. "Hey guys, let's ring the doorbell."
Double D and Eddy look up in alarm, the last thing they need is for Ed to annoy the resident by start ringing the doorbell at least six times like he had done once which Eddy had to knock him away.
"No Ed, don't ring the-" They both yelled.
Ed merely presses the doorbell anyway, which starts something. The door flipped, revealing a pair of scissors cutting the string attached to a hammer.
It hits the floorboard under the boys, throwing them up into the air screaming. As they started to fall, a metal claw grabbed him by their collars. It lifted up until they were facing the very boarded window of the last floor – to the Lurkim.
And then from behind the wooden boards something grasped with green gloved hands and peered out with intense blue eyes. "Who are you and what are you doing here?!" demanded a hoarse, aged voice.
"Uhm, good evening, and our sincerest apologies Mr. Once-ler," Double d stammered, "I'm Eddward with two d's. These are Ed and Eddy and we're here on behalf of the guardians to help you-"
"So you're the Ed boys Mim says that will bring down the curse of chaos on us all. Whether it concerns another spirit or something worse-I'd rather we not take any chances." The figure pulled a lever beside him. "Get out of here! Immediately!"
The claw drops the three boys on the ground. "Get going! And don't let the boot hit you on the way out."
The Eds rush out of sight though Eddy pops into the frame. "Uh-So that means we should come back later?"
WHOMP!
On cue the boot hits Eddy which he has a goofy face then falls down.

In another part of town, near some clubhouse of some sort a shadow is shown. Up close someone is drawing with a chalk or should I say marking something like in a crime scene.
"Okay Bradley. Hop on up"
It turns out, it's just a display the kids of toontown were making for the haunted house.
"I don't know looks like he died with his tongue sticking out." Said Numbuh 2, looking at the drawing.
"That's what you get when you try marking it when sucking on a candy," replied Inez
"How about I try again I can look deader." Said Bradley
"I think, one's enough." Said Louie who was hanging on a rope tied to his waist trying to make a noose.
"It's a small price to pay Lulu," said Huey to his brother. "After all we're the ones responsible for the haunted house this year."
"I'm just glad Dewey, isn't pulling anymore pranks this Halloween." Said Stacy.
"Just remember we gotta make this on time, underbudget but over scary."
"Hey you guys think you can lend me a hand here?" calls out Dewey.
"Coming, Dewey," said the kids.
But they minute they walked over to a section a mannequin of a witch pops up scaring them.
Out comes out Dewey laughing at his little prank. "Gotcha,"
"Due-man, I thought after that haunted house incident ya learned your lesson." Reprimanded Louie
"Yeah That was uncalled for"
"Aw come on, it doesn't hurt to show a pranks every now and then."
They are interrupted when the local bullies start tossing eggs and toilet paper to bother the kids.
"A little early taste of trick before the Big night!" laughs Sperg.
"Hope you're prepared for Hallows eve, Scradley!" mocks Lance
"Yeah ready" says Russel.
"Let's get out of here!" says Bradley
The last thing he needs is another trip to wedgie town from Lance and Russel or some beatings from Sperg, Wolfgang and the other bullies.
"You'll pay for this stunt you jerks!" hollers Numbuh 4
"I'm telling Mom about this!" screams Polly before she and the other kids run off.
"Hey! where you going the fun's just beginning!" hollers Wolfgang to the running kids cruelly.
It seemed the local bullies had ruined the kids plan to make the haunted house for toontown in celebration of Halloween. Now they will have to make new plans to make it bigger or better the question is what.
But for now, one curiosity piqued the Eds after their visit to the Lurkim. What did the old Once-ler meant by the curse of chaos? Would it have anything to do with the legend of Discord or was it pure coincidence.
