Mike walked down the street as Ed was heard hammering.
"Hey, Eddy, am I late?" Mike asked the Ed boy she was closer with.
"Just in time, Mike," Eddy smiled once he saw her. "You got any pets?"
"Nah, we couldn't have any back home since we lived in a building," Mike sighed. "Dumb manager... I had a pet palm tree once though, I named him Petey."
Eddy thought that was odd, but still smiled at Mike. "Cool."
"How's it look, Eddy?" Ed called.
Mike and Eddy looked. Mike put her hand on her face as she started to crack up, laughing and Eddy looked a tad bit frustrated.
"Ed, you put the sign on upside down!" Eddy scolded.
"No, I put the sign on the garage!" Ed argued.
"Ed, just flip it over." Mike told him.
"Flip it?" Ed smiled. "Got it!"
"I bet Rolf could help us out with this," Mike smiled. "He's got a farm, remember? Being the 'son of a shepherd, he is'." She imitated the country boy of the neighborhood.
"Indubitably." Double D agreed.
"I flipped it, Mike!" Ed called again.
Double D, Mike, and Eddy took a look. Ed had flipped the garage over, misunderstanding Mike, but the sign was at least more visible now and readable. The sign had read: Ed's Pet Boutique.
"Well, I can read it." Double D shrugged.
"Eh, close enough." Mike shrugged herself.
"Come on, let's go where Mike said, I like her idea." Eddy proclaimed.
"Right away!" Double D followed with Mike and Ed.
The group made it to Rolf's family farm.
"See?" Mike looked back to the Ed's. "I told you they could help!"
"They're absolutely filthy!" Double D said with glee.
"Yes, I am." Ed grinned.
Rolf was working on his family farm, unaware of his visitors right now. Mike then climbed over the fence and came with her friends to offer their services to Rolf. The Ed's tried to get Rolf's attention, but they ended up speaking all at once. Mike tried to settle them, but they kept talking and wanting Rolf's attention, time, and money.
"You must be poking my eggplant," Rolf chuckled. "That would give me more time to watch curd rise from the cheese of my grandfather's back! Okay, Ed boys and Masculine Named Girl!"
Mike collected the chickens and allowed them to go by as Double D was going to clean them for Rolf.
Ed came by, carrying sponges. "Oh, a chicken shower!" He then clucked.
"Ed, let the chickens bathe in privacy!" Double D scolded. "Mike, would you dry the chickens, please?"
"Will do." Mike replied as she hung the chickens on a line by clothespins like old-fashioned drying laundry.
Ed was now covering his eyes so he wouldn't embarrass the poultry like Double D said. Mike kept drying the chickens as Ed was trying to get away, but had a hard time seeing and the floor was all slippery.
"After they dry, I'll clip their talons." Double D instructed.
"Talons?" Mike glanced at him, questionably.
"You know, their claws." Double D explained.
"Oh, why didn't you just say so?" Mike blinked. She then smiled as she watched Eddy shining Wilfred the pig's backside, and Ed was now scrubbing one of the cows.
After Eddy buffered the pig, he decided to take a break in one of the chairs. "Keep up the good work, boys." The chair then closed in on him.
Double D took the chickens down and decided to clip their talons now. "Eddy, don't you think this would be a good time to wash Victor?"
"The goat?" Eddy asked out loud. "Oh, yeah... Yeah..." He then muttered lowly. "You're worse than my mother..." Eddy went over to a sprinkler and turned it on to wetten the goat, washing his underside.
"Mike, do you have eyeliner?" Ed was heard asking.
"No, but my mom has some in her purse when she goes out." Mike said as she handed Double D more chickens to take care of.
"Why in the world would you need eye-" Double D looked over his shoulder, then gasped to see that Ed was putting make-up on the cow. "Liner!?"
"WHOA!" Mike rushed over, stopping Ed. "Okay, that's enough, she's clean, she's clean..."
"Um, Ed, why don't you go over there?" Double D quickly suggested. "Those poor rabbits have been calling for you all day."
"Those aren't rabbits, those are bunnies!" Ed smiled, going there anyway to the rabbit cage. "Aw, hello, Mr. and Mrs. Bunny, time for a bath!"
Mike smiled, now that Ed was distracted from dolling up the bovines.
"Bunnies are so furry and soft." Ed rubbed the rabbits across his face, smiling and enjoying them. His eyes then started to water and he quickly sneezed.
"Gesundheit," Mike replied. "I remember when I sneezed on the island... Lu thought it was a big city insult, Marjorie told me that there hadn't been a cold on the island in over 300 years and her several times great-grandmother saved the cure. Lu tried to infect everybody and get me kicked off the island."
"You must've felt alienated from that." Double D commented on her story.
"Yeah, it all worked out well in the end, cuz of Og," Mike smiled. "You would've like him, Double D."
"Double D," Ed cut in. "How many bunnies was I supposed to clean?"
"Two, Ed." Double D replied.
"Okay," Ed nodded, then started counting the bunnies. "I'm stumped." He then started to laugh and he sneezed again.
"Guh," Mike grimaced. "Are you sick?"
"Colds are very contagious and I'd be so peeved if I caught your cold!" Double D added, becoming paranoid.
"I feel funny..." Ed muttered, before a big sneeze came back up.
Mike stepped over nervously as she saw big purple bumps popping all over Ed's body. "Gross! You look like my cousin Rita when my Mom tried to make meatloaf with Granny's recipe! You're all swelling! Double D, what's wrong with him!?"
"I-I'm not sure!" Double D cried. "Eddy, Ed is showing strange symptoms, aren't you concerned?"
"I've been concerned about Ed since the first day I met him." Eddy mumbled.
Ed screamed as his body ballooned up.
"Yowza..." Mike continued to step back the bigger that Ed got. "Eddy!"
"What?" Eddy looked to her. "Are we done?"
"Look!" Double D pointed.
"Help, I'm a blimp!" Ed cried out.
"Ed, you maniac, get down from there!" Eddy yelled. "Let's poke a hole in him and let the air out!"
"The pressure could cause him to explode." Double D informed.
Ed was very itchy and Eddy and Mike decided to help him out there. Ed was, in Mike's words, bigger than the Thanksgiving Day parade balloons as he was flowing around due to his large size and swelling from his allergy from the bunnies no one knew he had. Double D called orders, a little hesitant from the phsyical activity as they had to help Ed. The gang then had Ed tied down and they were able to get him settled and due to Double D being the smart one, he would diagnose Ed's problem like a real doctor would.
Ed was hooked up to a complex data-gathering machine as he was staked to the ground.
"All set, Double D!" Eddy called.
"Say it, say it!" Double D pleaded Mike or Eddy to do something before he would start.
"You can't be serious." Mike folded her arms in a candystriper uniform.
Double D still looked eager.
Mike sighed, then made her voice sound like she came from a speaker. "Paging Dr. Double D, emergency, paging the head of surgery, with all top degrees, to the living room, stat."
Double D beamed as he came out. "That was very good, Mike, you would make a wonderful nursing assistant!"
"Yeah, yeah..." Mike rolled her eyes.
"Interesting," Double D started to read the data. "This is very, very strange."
"I got a dart stuck in my head." Ed muttered.
"Say ah, please," Double D instructed Ed, then held out his hand. "Flashlight, please."
Mike saw that Eddy was bored, so she handed it over.
"Thank you, Candystriper Mike." Double D replied.
"Mm, candy..." Ed marveled, missing the point.
"Close, please," Double D told Ed and the boy did as told. "Lights please, Candystriper."
Mike turned out the lights while Eddy just looked bored to death. The flashlight illuminated the inside of Ed's body and his skeleton was visible like in an X-Ray.
"What is wrong with me, Dr. Surgeon Edd?" Ed asked in deep concern.
"Just one more test," Double D said. "Rabbit."
"Bunny." Mike handed over the fluffy creature beloved by all.
"Oh, look, it's a bun!" Ed smiled as the bunny was close to him. He then sniffed it, which made him about to sneeze yet again.
"HE'S GONNA BLOW!" Eddy yelled out. "RUN FOR IT!"
Mike, Double D, and Eddy dove behind the living room couch. Ed had sneezed and it exploded nearly all over the place, almost destroying the house.
"Michelene, what was that!?" Mrs. Mavinsky called from upstairs.
"Nothing, Mom!" Mike called back.
"Oh, my..." Double D muttered.
"You appear to be allergic to rabbits, Ed." Double D informed.
"So now what, Dr. Double Meat-Patty?" Eddy asked.
"We'll have to treat him immediately, you two." Double D stated.
"Scratch me, I'm itchy!" Ed called out.
Ed was now laughing as Double D was applying some cream all over his body.
"We'll have you back to normal in no time, Ed." Double D promised with a smile.
"Gravy!" Ed randomly exclaimed.
"More cold cream, you two!" Double D called to Eddy and Mike.
"Coming right up, Dr. Double Mint." Eddy replied, flinging a spoonful of cold cream onto Ed.
"This thing stinks bad... At least Ed will get better..." Mike had her nose pinched.
After a few moments, Ed just realized something. "Guys, I'm still itchy... My mom always uses talcum powder for itching."
Double D looked down. "Could one of you please fill the talcum powder dispenser?"
"Yeah, yeah." Eddy muttered.
"On it, Double D." Mike added, handing over the dispenser.
"Thank you, Candystriper Mike." Double D smiled.
"Quit callin' me that..." Mike whined.
Eddy noticed how small the medicine was. "That's gonna take forever!"
"Yes, but it will provide an even, equal distribution." Double D nodded.
"Time is money, Double D, and I love money!" Eddy used a fan.
"EDDY, NO!" Mike yelled.
The wind and dust kicked in, but luckily, no one was hurt.
"I smell pretty," Ed smiled. "How come I'm still big, guys?"
"Get some ice, he's still swollen a little." Mike suggested.
"Bingo, Mike!" Eddy agreed.
Mike rushed over to her house and got into her home freezer. She opened the top door of the fridge, took out the ice trays and dumped the cubes into a plastic bag. After they were all in, Mike tied the bag into a tight knot and walked over with it, balancing it on her head to ease the heat from summer's temperatures.
"I used all the ice we had, hopefully Mom and Dad won't mind." Mike said as Double D took the pack to cool Ed down.
"You'll be back to your gruesome self in no time, Ed." Eddy smiled.
"Whatever you say, Eddy..." Ed shivered a tad bit.
After the ice, Ed was now back to normal. Double D, Eddy, and Mike now agreed to help Ed fight against his allergies and keep him from them for future reference. Ed was kept in a cardboard box, work boots, and surgical gloves.
"Great to have you back, Ed." Mike smiled.
"Did I go somewhere?" Ed asked distantly.
"We've wasted too much time!" Eddy told his friends. "Let's get these animals back to Rolf so we can collect our loot!" He opened up his family garage and there were dozens and dozens of rabbits.
"Holy, spew!" Mike couldn't believe it.
"Seems like Mr. and Mrs. Bunny have been practicing the multiplication table." Double D commented.
"Oh, no." Ed mumbled.
"AVALANCHE!" Eddy yelled out.
Mike screamed as the bunnies piled over like a massive tidal wave on the beach. In fact, Jonny, Plank, Kevin, Sarah, and Jimmy all drowned from the bunny shower. Mike then spent the rest of that day on the couch in front of the TV with the Ed's as they survived and the neighborhood was covered in rabbits. Who knew how all their parents would react?
