By following a trail of leaves and footprints on the road, Calvin, Hobbes, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Jason and Marcus found that it lead to a flower shop. Naturally.
"So here's where that darn plant went!" said Calvin, looking at the bright red rose on the shop's sign.
"We must save Nazz!" said Edd.
Eddy looked nervous. "Yeah, but I'd sorta like to live myself."
"Pickles!" Ed ran inside.
"We've gotta stop him before he's eaten, too!" gasped Jason.
Marcus stared at him. "Who'd want to taste Ed?"
They all walked inside to the entrance room. Everything was calm. A sweet scene was in the air. Flowers were all over the place, and there were even some decorative fountains.
Calvin looked around. "It's quiet...TOO quiet."
Hobbes rolled his eyes. "What you said was cliché...TOO cliché."
As Edd dug through piles of stuffed animals, Eddy checked behind the cash register but found no one. "I bet the guy working here ran away when Pokey came in."
They heard Ed scream. "That came from the back room!" cried Edd.
They all ran in to find a gigantic Pokey throwing Ed against the wall. "I am not a crash test dummy! I am Ed!"
"Leave him alone!" cried Eddy.
The plant turned to the kids with an evil smile. "Well if it ain't my good friends. After those two meals, I decided to take a walk down here and sit a while. You know, relax, spread some seeds..."
"Spread some seeds?" repeated Jason.
"Did I say that out loud?" the plant said innocently.
Marcus did the math. "But spreading seeds in these plants means...all of them growing and eating! We're not talking one hungry plant..."
"We're talking world domination!" finished Eddy.
Pokey pointed his vines at the boy. "And I wanna thank you!"
Edd stepped forward. "You'll never get away with this! Your type never does!"
Pokey: Better wait a minute
Ya better hold the phone
Ya better mind your manners
Better change your tone
Don't you threaten me, son
You got a lot of gall
We gonna do things my way
Or we won't do things at all
Pokey sprouted huge roots and several singing buds. He truly was a monster. The kids stared in shock. "Are we going to die?" asked Ed.
"Probably," said Hobbes.
"Cool."
Pokey: Ya don't know what you're messin' with
You got no idea
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at
When you're lookin' here
Ya don't know what you're up against
No, no way, no how
You don't know what you're messin' with
But I'm gonna tell you now!
(Buds: Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaah!)
Get this straight!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And I'm bad
(Eddy: Outerspace!)
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And it looks like you been had
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
So get off my back, 'n get out my face
'Cause I'm mean and green
And I am bad
The kids ran for it. "I thought being hunted by an alien plant would be more enjoyable!" cried Jason, crouching under the table.
"I hate it when this happens!" agreed Marcus.
Pokey: Wanna save your skin boys?
You wanna save your hide?
You wanna see tomorrow? (Ha-Ha!)
You better step aside
Better take a tip boys
Want some good advice?
Ya better take it easy
'Cause you're walkin' on thin ice
(Pokey's buds spread out and chase the kids, chomping at them)
Ya don't know what you're dealin' with
No, you never did
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at
But that's how it goes, kids!
(Edd hides in a pile of stuffed animals. The vines root through them, nabbing at Edd, who narrowly escapes)
The Lion don't sleep tonight
In fact, he's up and mad
Ya say, "That ain't fair?"
Ya say, "That ain't nice?"
Ya know what I say? "Too bad!"
(Buds: Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaah!)
Watch me now!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And I'm bad
I'm just a mean green mother, a real disgrace
And you've got me violent and mad
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
Gonna kick your butts! Gonna rock this place!
I'm mean and green
And I am bad
(His vines finally catch all the kids)
You know I don't come from no black lagoon
I'm from past the stars and beyond the moon
You can keep the thing
Keep the it
Keep them, they don't bug me a bit
(They break free and run for it again. Calvin and Hobbes grab some garden tools and start trying to cut up the vines and buds, to no avail)
I got garden style, major moves
I got the stuff, and I think that proves
You better move it out! Nature calls!
You just can't escape, I can bust through walls
(Buds: Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaah!)
(He does indeed bust through a wall and manages to nab Eddy. He sprouts more roots that form feet and chases the others. Needles protrude out of him and he rapidly spins around, shooting them everywhere, narrowing missing the kids)
Here it comes!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And I'm bad
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
A real hard case. You can't beat this trouble, man
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
So just give it up. It's all over, ace
I'm mean and green
(Mean green mother from outer space)
I'm mean and green
(Mean green mother from outer space)
I'm mean and green
(Mean green mother from outer space)
And I...am...bad!
Laughing, Pokey lowered Eddy into his mouth. "Bye, bye, Eddy!"
A lightbulb went off over Hobbes's head. "I have an idea! We'll fight plants with plants!"
"What?" chorused the others.
"Trust me!" Hobbes ran out. Pokey was swallowing Eddy when the tiger returned a few seconds later. "Hold it! I just came from the Mushroom Kingdom and I have a Fire Flower!"
Pokey stopped. "What?"
Hobbes blasted Pokey in an eruption of flames. The plant screeched in anguish as it burned. Edd ripped open the burning plant and pulled out Nazz, Kevin, and Eddy. This made it screech more. Everyone watched as the plant shriveled in the flames. Jason and Marcus quickly put out the fire as the plant's screeches faded.
"Were we just eaten by a giant talking plant?" asked Nazz.
"I giant talking alien plant, actually," corrected Jason.
"Freaky," Kevin said quietly. He and Nazz left in confusion.
Eddy sighed. "I really screwed up, didn't I?"
"Indeed you did," nodded Edd. "But the fact that you realized your error is a good thing."
"Way to ruin stuff, Eddy!" cheered Ed.
Edd looked at some spaces in the wall that Pokey's vines had burst through. "Best of all, the damages to the shop aren't that bad, actually."
Calvin hugged his tiger. "That was genius, Hobbes!"
"But what do we do with what's left of Pokey?" wondered Hobbes.
Marcus smiled. "I've got an idea."

Back at Bowser's castle, Larry was sitting at his table when the remains of Pokey were tossed in the window. "What the heck is this thing? Nothing I want!" Larry threw the it into the trash and went back to working on plants.

PSA
Edd: Everyone, we've had a lot of fun with the ideas of monestrous rampages, but there's still an important lesson to be learned here...
Everyone: Don't feed the plants!

Now that this is over, I will post a parody of Aladdin.
