Phoenix's Note: Now that school's done for right now, I can work faster and try notkeep you guys hesitated! And now, please read, review, and enjoy this suspenseful, epic (albeit a little long) half of "Don't push your Ed"!


The screen opened up in Eddy's backyard, where Holly and Eddy himself were seen tossing saws, axes, a lawnmower, small pieces of wood, and a chainsaw into a large hole while Ed just stood there with a shovel in his hand. In the background was a large red shed (that was built over the timeskip) with its door opened. Next to the trio was a large pile of dirt that originated from the hole.

"That's the last of 'em!" said Eddy.

"Now all we need is for Nazz to finish getting our food and drinks!" Holly added. "We're gonna need 'em if we're gonna be here a while!"

"About that, how come we gotta stay in here till midnight, anyway?" asked Eddy.

"Cuz it's Friday the 13th until the clocks hit 12:00 a.m!" Ed said as he lifted the huge dirt pile up with his shovel. "And, as you know, a new day starts at midnight! Or in our case, a free day!" he dropped the dirt pile over the hole and covered the tools. He then patted the ground and stuck the shovel in it.

"Hey, guys!" Nazz walked out of Eddy's house with a huge white sack in her hands. "Ed! Can you get my mini-fridge, please?"

"Got it, Nazz!" Ed ran into Eddy's house.

"What's all that?" Holly asked.

"Hope it's not energy bars!" joked Eddy.

"Better!" Nazz opened her sack and took out a white box of…"100 calorie chocolate chip Angel snack cakes!" she tossed it to Eddy, who caught it. "There's more food in the fridge along with the drinks! Not much though!"

"Yeah well, it's better than those freakin' gravy cakes Ed makes!" Eddy said half-heartedly.

"Got cold stuff, guys!" Ed ran out of the house, past his friends, and into the shed while in possession of the mini-fridge.

"Well, at least he's happy!" Nazz said.

"Yeah!" Holly agreed dreamily before she slowly walked towards the shed.

Nazz walked towards the shed while Eddy just stood there and looked up into the sky casually. Nazz turned around and looked at him in concern.

"Eddy, are you okay?" Nazz asked sweetly before Eddy looked at her, but did not speak. "Anything on your mind that you want to say?"

"I've been…thinkin' about this bad luck thing." Eddy uttered.

"Eddy, I know you're scared as well as me and the others are." Nazz started. "But that doesn't mean we gotta take one step-"

"No, I'm sayin'," interrupted Eddy. "if bad luck is after us…and we're in a safe zone…what's to stop it from gettin' to…our other friends?"

Nazz paused for a moment as she stared at Eddy. However, right before she could utter a word or speak her mind…

"Guys, what're you waiting for?" Holly asked. "Get in here!"

Nazz picked up her sack and threw it over her back before she motioned for Eddy to talk to her inside the shed. Eddy followed her inside just as dark clouds and the sound of thunder began to roll in.


Meanwhile in Nate's kitchen, Kevin, Cody, and Nate himself were playing poker at the kitchen table while Brooke watched as she massaged Nate's shoulders. Nate's kitchen was relatively big. There were two big sinks, a large row of brown cupboards, a large oven, an in-the-wall microwave, and the glass kitchen table, which was as long as a school cafeteria's. In the middle of the table were several quarters and each of the boys was looking at their respective cards with victorious facial expressions.

"You guys are so boned!" Cody taunted before he slammed down his cards (which were off-screen when he did so). "Whadoya say to that?"

"This!" Nate said before he slammed his cards down onto the table.

"SHIT!" yelled the angered Cody.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!Ha!" Nate taunted. "Just not yer lucky day is it?"

"Not yers either, Bennett!" yelled Kevin as he slammed his cards down and yelled, "ROYAL FLUSH, BABY!"

Kevin raked in all of the quarters while Nate angrily groaned and Cody laughed heartily!

"Looks like with Eddy not around, I'm Donald Trump!" Kevin gloated. "Face it, dude! Poker's just not your thing! You outta quit before ya lose somethin' priceless!"

"I got somethin' priceless… and I ain't losin' it!" Nate looked up at the smiling Brooke, who bent down and started making out with him right in front of the disgusted Kevin and Cody!

"UGH! EW! YAH!" Cody exclaimed in disgust. "C'mon, guys! You gotta do that in the kitchen?"

"Well, seein' how it's my kitchen…yeah, pretty much!" Nate replied before he continued to make out with Brooke!

"Aw, for God's sake man!" Kevin yelled. "Why don't'chu save it for a shower scene or somethin'?"

"Jealous?" Brooke asked Kevin. Apparently trying to get on his nerves.

"Well, you know what they say!" Kevin smiled. "Redheads are freaky! Which makes up for the fact that most of 'em don't have what most men want!"

Brooke angrily reached for Kevin's throat, but was subdued by Nate, who uttered, "Easy, baby! You know how he is!"

Suddenly, the sound of a truck approaching could be heard just outside of the front door of Nate's house.

"That must be the mail!" Nate excitedly said. "I'll be right back! Cody, keep Brooke away from Kev's neck!" he rushed out of the kitchen.

"What's up with him?" Cody asked.

"His grandparents send him a couple hundred dollars every time he gets a good report card!" Brooke sat down.

"So, he does have moments where he's in luck!" Kevin said. "It's hard to tell when guys like him lose at poker games and end up with chicks who are good in bed, but suck everywhere else!"

Out of anger, Brooke punched Kevin in the face before he fell out of his seat. At the front door, Nate opened the door and stuck his black umbrella outside before he opened it up and walked out. He walked up to his black mailbox as it rained and thundered. He opened it up and grabbed all of the mail inside.

"Mom! Dad! Dad! Mom! Dad! Mom!" Nate muttered as he shuffled through the white envelopes until he saw a blue one. "Hell yeah!" He put the envelope in his right pocket after the wind started to blow harder. Right when Nate turned his back, he heard the sound of a cat shrieking and a dog barking nearby. Nate turned back around and saw a black cat run by him while being chased by a brown dog!

"Get 'im, boy!" Nate yelled before he turned back around and walked towards his house, which was shown to be a white two-story house.

Suddenly, one of the streetlights over Nate's house creaked EEnE-style before it began to fall down towards Nate!

"What the-?" the bug-eyed Nate exclaimed as he looked down at the ground and saw the streetlight's shadow! Nate turned around and exclaimed, "UHH!" when he dodged to the right before the streetlight missed him and hit the ground! "Guess this is one of my lucky/unlucky moments!" he smirked. Right after he took one step towards his house…an off-screen tree fell on top of him! Inside the kitchen…

"What's takin' 'im so long? He just went to get mail!" asked Cody. "You'd think somethin' fell on 'im or somethin'! Kevin, go look for 'im!"

"Get the red to do it!" Kevin said as he kept a bag of ice on his left eye. "It's her man! Besides, she don't do anything else around here!"

Brooke angrily swung at Kevin, but he moved his head out of the way and smiled before Brooke walked off-screen. At the front of the house, the door had just now opened and Brooke, who was wearing Nate's hoodie, stepped out. The moment she did, she saw the fallen tree and the streetlight!

"What in the-" she started with a shocked facial expression. But stopped once she saw something moving underneath the tree. She walked closer and developed bug-eyes when she saw that it was…the hand of an African-American boy! Brooke let out a deep gasp before the screen shifted to the inside of the kitchen, where Kevin and Cody were still just sitting there, until…

"CODY! KEVIN!" Brooke screamed out to them as they jumped out of their respective seats! Both boys rushed out of the kitchen before they ran out of the front door. They saw Brooke on her knees next to Nate as she held his hand before they rushed to the other side of the tree.

"Hang on, Nate!" Cody assured his friend. "We'll get'chu out!"

"CAN YA HURRY?" Nate yelled strained as he tried to push the tree off of him. "I THINK THIS TREE'S CRUSHIN' MY NUT-SACK!"

"All right! On three, we all lift! So, everyone get a firm grip on this thing!" Kevin ordered. "Brooke, the moment we get space, you yank Nate outta the way as fast as you can!"

Brooke shook her head before she grabbed Nate's arm just as it started to rain harder.

"ALL RIGHT!" Kevin yelled. "ON THREE! ONE! TWO! THREE!"

Kevin, Cody, and Nate lifted the tree up with all their might and although they didn't get very high, they did manage to make enough room for Brooke to pull Nate out from underneath it! Kevin and Cody dropped the tree back on the ground before they gave each other a high-five.

"What the hell do ya think caused that?" Cody asked before Kevin shrugged.

Just then, the same black cat as before hopped the crushed fence and ran passed Kevin and Cody with the brown dog still chasing it! Cody and Kevin looked at each other before the wind blew extremely hard and sent the quartet flying towards Nate's house!

"UHHHH!" the teens grunted when they hit the wall! They remained on the wall as the wind continued to blow unbearably harder!

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN' ON HERE?" yelled Kevin.

"THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THAT BLACK CAT RAN BY YOU GUYS!" yelled Brooke. "IT'S GOTTA BE-"

"DON'T EVEN SAY IT!" yelled Kevin as he struggled in vain to maneuver himself. "THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS…"

"AAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" the bug-eyed Cody and Kevin screamed as a big blue mailbox flew towards them! As a "CLANG" noise sounded, the screen went black.


The screen cut to the inside of Eddy's cleaned-out shed, where Eddy, Ed, Nazz, and Holly were seen eating snack cakes and drinking soda as they wore gloves and watched TV.

"Ugh, I feel like I'm in a padded jail!" groaned Eddy. "Except I'm the owner who doesn't belong in a straightjacket!"

"How much longer do we have to stay in here, Holly?" Nazz asked before Holly took out her cell phone and looked at it.

"Still got another two hours and seventeen minutes, Nazz!" sighed Holly before Eddy and Nazz groaned loudly.

"Shh!" Ed shushed. "I'm tryin' to watch the news!"

"Since when do you watch-" started Eddy as Ed turned up the volume.

On the screen was Caucasian news reporter Neil Ritz, who was talking about some strange occurrences. Ritz had combed blue hair and was wearing a blue suit with an ocean blue tie.

"I'VE SEEN SOME PRETTY WEIRD STUFF BEFORE, BUT IN MY LIFETIME, NEVER AT THIS LEVEL!" Neil started as he held up a long piece of paper. "I'VE GOT A WHOLE LIST OF STRANGE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN PEACH CREEK IN THE LAST TWO HOURS! A SPEEDING 18-WHEELER TRUCK SENT A SCHOOL BUS FULL OF KIWI SPRINGS FOOTBALL PLAYERS FLYING STRAIGHT INTO THE BAKER ART MUSEUM! THE PEACH CREEK FIRE STATION CAUGHT ON FIRE AS A RESULT OF A BLOWN TRANSFORMER! AND MOST RECENTLY, TWO TEENAGE BOYS BY THE NAME OF ANGELO KNIGHT AND KEVIN ECKHART WERE INJURED BY A FLYING MAILBOX THAT WAS LAUNCHED AT THEM BY A TYPHOON-LIKE WIND STORM IN PEACH CREEK ESTATES!"

"Oh my god!" Nazz sadly whispered as Neil continued. "NEVERTHELESS, THE BOYS' INJURIES ARE FAR FROM FATAL AND THEIR PARENTS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED! ACCOMPANYING THE BOYS ARE WITNESSES AND FRIENDS: NATHANIEL BENNETT AND BROOKE CRENSHAW!"

"Why would their parents even be out this late?" asked Eddy before the others shushed him and Neil continued. "BUT THAT'S NOT THE STRANGEST PART OF THIS REPORT! IN TERMS OF HOW THIS ALL HAPPENED, EACH OF THESE VICTIMS HAVE MADE REFERENCES TO THE ANCIENT "FRIDAY THE 13TH" FOLK LEGENDS! A STUDENT FROM THE KIWI SPRINGS BUS INCIDENT STATED THAT HE WALKED UNDER A LADDER THAT AN ELECTRICIAN WAS USING MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT WITH HIS BUS! A FIREFIGHTER SAID THAT HE ACCIDENTALLY SPILLED A JAR OF SALT WHILE HAVING LUNCH WITH A FRIEND MOMENTS BEFORE THE SCORCHING DISASTER TOOK PLACE! AND AT THE TOP OF MY LIST, THE BOYS, KNIGHT AND ECKHART, STATED THAT A BLACK CAT RAN PAST THEM ONLY SECONDS BEFORE THEIR MAILBOX INCIDENT! AS UNNATURALLY COINCIDENTAL THIS ALL SEEMS, AUTHORITIES AND MYTHOLOGISTS HAVE DISMISSED THESE CLAIMS AND HAVE CONSIDERED IT ALL AN ANARCHIC CASE OF TRAUMA!"

Eddy turned off the TV before he and Nazz angrily glared Ed and Holly as Eddy folded his arms and Nazz swung her hip.

"Somethin' you wanna say?" Nazz frowned. "Or better yet, should've before we all got in here?"

Holly swept her foot on the ground from left to right as Ed looked up as if he didn't hear his friends talking to him and Holly!

"WELL?" Eddy shouted impatiently.

"Uh…" Holly uttered before Ed jumped in and said, "Well…I suppose we forgot to tell you that by making yourselves immune to bad luck's rampage after you alone started it, you've kinda…"

"Kinda what?" Eddy clinched his teeth.

"…forced it to…start anew!" Ed finished with a nervous smile. "I mean…bad luck's gotta go somewhere!"

"And it looks like it chose to go to Cody and Kevin!" Holly added. "And with it going to Maggie and Double D first, it's a safe bet that it's got somethin' vicious in mind that involves people we care about!"

"Wait!" Nazz interrupted. "Why do you keep saying "It"? It chose? It went for Maggie and Double D? It's got somethin' vicious in mind? It's almost as if you guys are saying that bad luck is a…"

"Livin' force!" the bug-eyed Eddy finished. As Ed and Holly nodded once, Nazz stood there scared while Eddy began to sweat.

"My mom always did say that those who break stuff, pay for it!" Nazz uttered anxiously.

"So, if bad luck is a livin' force and was chasin' Maggie and Double D and it just decided to go get Cody and Kev, then that means…" Eddy suddenly paused and went bug-eyed. This was one riddle that he wished his deduction skills (first mentioned in How to Catch an Ed) didn't allow him to figure out. "It's a trap!"

"What?" asked Nazz before Eddy faced her directly and repeated, "It's a trap! BAD LUCK KNOWS THAT WE'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO HELP OUR FRIENDS! DON'T YOU GET IT?" Eddy turned back around to face Ed and Holly. "IT'S USIN' EVERYONE WE CARE ABOUT AS BAIT TO DRAW US OUT BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONES IT WANTS!"

Out of fear, Nazz gulped before Holly added, "And with every passing minute that we don't do anything…our friends pay the price!"

Eddy generated numerous facial expressions as he decided on whether he should make the smart choice or the right one. A few seconds later, he uttered…"How do we stop it?"

"Huh?" Ed asked before Eddy repeated, "How do we stop bad luck?"

"We've been through this, Eddy!" Holly responded. "No one has ever beaten bad luck! You can only endure or shield yourself from it!"

"Think about it, will ya?" Eddy shouted. "If bad luck is alive like you said, then that means it can be taken out! Anything that's alive, whether you see it or not, can be killed or rid-of! All we have to do is find out how! And you two experts know exactly how!"

Ed and Holly hesitated on telling Eddy and Nazz what they (Ed and Holly) seem to know. Almost as if they had no faith in the possibility of being free of bad luck forever. Nevertheless…

"Okay. It's like this." Ed sighed. "If the one or ones who started the chain of misfortune can physically avoid or shield themselves and/or others from bad luck's wrath until midnight strikes on Friday the 13th, it'll be forced away from them for good!"

"If not, you'll have rotten luck for the rest of your life!" Holly added. "And I don't know about you, but that is a seriously big risk considering that once you step out of a safe zone, bad luck'll hit'chu harder than ever before!"

"For our friends…we gotta take that risk!" Eddy said boldly.

"You guys got any charms on you?" asked Nazz.

Ed went into both pockets and pulled out three jawbreaker-sized 4-leaf clovers per hand before the screen shifted to the outside of the shed. Seconds later, the door busted open before the quartet ran out and towards the camera, which shifted to Eddy's dark garage. Just then, the lights clicked on before the teens ran in and got into the Camaro with Eddy in the driver's seat and Nazz in the shotgun seat. Eddy started the car up and attempted to open the garage with a remote but, something was completely wrong with it! The result: the garage door didn't open!

"Looks like bad luck was listening in our plan!" Ed said.

"Big deal! Hang on!" Eddy replied before he threw his car in reverse and broke through his garage's metal door before the teens ended up on the street and Eddy parked the car on the curve.

"You know your parents are gonna be up in your ass for that, right?" Holly asked Eddy.

"Nah! The set designers'll deal with it!" Eddy casually said. "Now, let's focus! Bad luck has targeted Kevin, Cody, and possibly Nate and Brooke! And Maggie and Double D are at home restin'! For the rest of our friends, how are we gonna get our stories straight for their parents?"

"Whose parents?" Ed asked.

"Whodoya think?" Eddy asked. "Jimmy's, Jonny's, Rolf's, and yours!"

"Don't you remember, Eddy?" Nazz asked. "They all went to Barr Carnival tonight!"

"What? Oh, man!" exclaimed Eddy. "That place is big! It'll probably take us till midnight just to find 'em!"

"You mean find them first!" Ed said. "Cuz the carnival's basically one big mousetrap!"

"He's right!" Holly added. "We gotta get on the road! Now!"

"Don't gotta tell me twice!" Eddy shifted gears and drove towards the camera. As he did so, the lights flashed before the screen shifted to Barr Carnival, which was like a miniaturized six flags with only one roller coaster! People were laughing, eating, talking, and having a great time. Rolf was among several audience members as they stood in front of a man, who was on a stage that read "Fire-eater".

"How can one consume conflagration without meeting a morbid end? Rolf asks you!" Rolf scratched his head.

"Allow me to show you, young man!" answered the man.

The man picked up an off-screen torch and stuck the fiery part in his mouth before he closed it (his mouth) and extracted the extinguished wood from his mouth! The man then let out a huge burp and in the process, unleashed a fireball into the sky. The man bowed as everyone except the frightened, bug-eyed Rolf applauded.

"FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!" Rolf yelled as he ran away from the stage with various people watching him. "AS A FIERY DEMON FROM THE UNDERWORLD HAS INHABITED A FALSE BODY!"


Elsewhere, Jonny was seen at a "Knock down the bottle stack" stand with a baseball in his hand.

"Three strikes and your-" Jonny winded his arm up at EEnE speed before he threw it and shouted, "OUT!" when the ball knocked down the last stack of bottles and the crowd behind him cheered!

The manager of the stand handed Jonny a wooden board with lipstick and drawn-on feminine eyes! Jonny grabbed the board and held Plank up to "her".

"It's yer lucky day, buddy!" Jonny told Plank. "Say what?…No they don't have a unisex bathroom in this carnival, silly!…Now, that's a private place!"


Meanwhile, Jimmy and Sarah were playin' "Dunk the Dude" with the latter being up first. Inside the tank was an elderly man in a black/white-striped swimsuit.

"Aw, c'mon!" complained the old man as he looked at Sarah. "Ain't anyone here man enough to dunk me besides this little lollipop right here? I mean, look at 'er! She looks like she couldn't dunk a stick of French toast in a syrup cup!"

This enraged Sarah to the point where she turned red and her teeth sharpened. And just when she was about to throw the ball at the tank (not the target)…

"Ah, duh! duh! duh!" Jimmy lectured as he grabbed Sarah's arm. "What did I say about your temper?" Sarah looked down before her face returned to normal. "Control yourself! When you beat up that senior for taking your lunch last week, you were lucky that her parents didn't sue you! Use your emotions for energy, not violence!"

Sarah nodded before Jimmy released her arm. Sarah spun her arm around at EEnE speed before she launched the ball at the target and dunked the old man into the water before everyone around her cheered. The game manager then handed Sarah a stuffed polar bear.

"See? Now, let's go get some funnel cakes! I'm hungry!" Jimmy suggested before he and Sarah walked away from the game.


On the expressway, Eddy's Camaro could be seen speeding down the street and passing numerous cars that honked at him. It was also starting to rain a little bit. Inside the Camaro…

"All right! We need to think!" Nazz started. "What are some places in a carnival that Rolf, Jonny, Jimmy, and Sarah could possibly go to?"

"Well, if I know Sarah, which I do, she and Jimmy are at a cotton candy cart or a funnel cake stand!" answered Ed.

"And Rolf is probably watching some sideshow freak and talkin' about how it relates to the old country!" mocked Eddy.

"And Jonny's probably doing something… Jonny-ish!" Holly suggested.

"When we get there, not only do we have to find the guys, but we also gotta keep track of the time!" Nazz said. "How long do we have now?"

Holly pulled out her cell phone and answered, "We got an hour and forty-two minutes to get there!"

"Not bad!" Eddy commented. "If we're lucky, we can cover half the park once we split into teams!"

"Yeah, but let's not get cocky!" Ed warned. "Aside from skeptics, bad luck's primary targets are normally people who dare to stand in its way!"

"Don't quote me on this, but gettin' in the way of bastards, seen or unseen, is an unbreakable habit that I do best!" Eddy smirked.

Suddenly, a speeding white Mustang Cobra zipped by Eddy's car as it honked its horn at him.

"HEY!" Eddy yelled out the window. "WATCH IT, ASSWIPE!"

The speeding mustang continued forward until it started to ride up on a green Ford explorer. The mustang honked it's horn before the explorer moved out of the way and revealed a police car and a red Honda parked on the curb! Right then, the mustang attempted to drive away from the police car and the Honda, but it's speed made it too late and it ended up hitting the rail and flying high into the air while it spun around like a football! The mustang continued to fly into the air until it broke through the fence of the above highway bridge and hit the side of an 18-wheeler gasoline truck hard before it (the truck) tilted and fell against the other fence! Unable to take the weight, the fence broke and the truck fell threw before it descended towards the expressway!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" the bug-eyed driver's screams could be heard before the truck hit the expressway and in the process, crushed several cars and sent three flying towards Eddy's Camaro!

"AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!" the bug-eyed Holly, Ed, and Nazz screamed before Eddy exclaimed, "WHAT THE-?"

Eddy roughly floored his car before it swiftly went underneath the three cars, which crashed into and bounced off of three other cars that came to a stop! The teens stared at the truck and saw an electrical wire sparking very closely to a puddle of gasoline!

"THAT THING'S ABOUT TO BLOW UP!" shouted the bug-eyed Ed.

"SHUT UP AND HOLD ONTO YER SEATBELTS!" the bug-eyed Eddy yelled before he sped the car up and the wire ignited the gasoline puddle!

"EDDY! WHAT'RE YOU DOING?" Holly screamed out of hysterical fear!

"JUST HOLD ON!" Eddy ordered.

Nazz, Ed, and Holly closed their respective eyes and tightened their seatbelts while Eddy tied his seatbelt around his wrists (to avoid breaking something if his plan failed) and held onto the wheel of his speeding car before it drove against the fence Herbie-style! The Camaro drove right past the gasoline truck just before it exploded and sent sharp debris in all directions! Fortunately, the Camaro was far enough away to avoid them all! Eddy then got the car back on the street before the other teens opened their respective eyes and uttered sighs of relief.

"Those douches at AKA CARTOON are so paying me extra for this episode!" Nazz complained.

"Whadoya expect?" Eddy replied. "Yer the female lead!"

As the group drove down expressway, the screen slowly transitioned to the carnival's parking lot. Eddy pulled into a parking space that was a distance away from the carnival before all of the teens got out of the car and started power-walking to the carnival.

"All right! Holly! Time!" Eddy demanded in a rushed voice.

Holly pulled out her cell phone and answered, "We have a little less than an hour to find them!"

"Okay, so Ed and Holly, you guys look for Sarah and Jimmy!" ordered Eddy before they all walked up to the ticket booth. Everyone went into their pockets as Eddy continued, "Nazz, you look for Rolf! I'll get forever forehead myself! When you find 'em, head back to my car! But remember! If it gets to them first, put them in police hands! We can't afford the extra useless weight if somethin' worse happens!" Each of the teens handed the man in the booth their tickets before he opened the gate up with the press of a button. The quartet then took out all of their clovers before…

"How do we know that bad luck won't strike your car before we get back?" Nazz asked.

"It won't!" Ed answered. "The only time bad luck screws up material things are when it wants to get people! Now, let's go!"

The teens ran into the carnival to begin their rescue mission.


Sometime later, Ed and Holly, who were standing in front of a cotton candy cart with the former showing the cart owner a picture of Jimmy and Sarah. The cart owner simply shook his head from left to right.

"Are you sure?" Ed asked.

"Positive, kid!" answered the man.

"Ed, there's another one!" Holly pointed to another cotton candy cart before the duo ran towards the female owner. "Excuse us, ma'am! But have you seen these kids?" Holly asked as Ed held up the picture.

The woman took the picture and put it closer to her face to get a better look. She then uttered, "I sold these kids some cotton candy about ten minutes ago!"

"Did you see where they went?" Holly asked.

"No, but I think they said something about going to the carnival zoo!" answered the woman.

"Thanks!" Ed said before he ran off!

"Ed, wait!" Holly ran after Ed. "The zoo's the other way!"


Meanwhile, Nazz was walking through the middle of the street as she yelled Rolf's name repeatedly.

"ROLF! WHERE ARE YOU?" Nazz continued to yell. "ROLF!"

Nazz sighed and went into her left pocket before suddenly…

"SAVE YOURSELVES!" the bug-eyed Rolf ran past Nazz, who developed bug-eyes when she saw him! "AS THIS PROFESSED LAND OF LEISURE ENCHANTMENT HARBORS EVIL IMPERCEPTIBLE SPIRITS!"

"Rolf, wait!" Nazz took off after the obviously terrified Rolf.


Elsewhere, Eddy was standing in front of an off-screen person as he described Jonny.

"He's 16, mixed, about this tall," Eddy put his hand to his nose. "has a seriously huge cantaloupe-shaped head with some fuzz on it, carries around a piece of wood with a drawn-on face, and looks like the type of person who craps himself!"

The camera shifted to the person Eddy was talking to, who was a security guard that almost exactly fit Eddy's description! Except this person was about 26!

"Are you tryin' to be funny?" the guard angrily asked before he farted and was suddenly knocked aside by a taller guard! "I saw that kid about twelve minutes ago! Said he was looking for a piece of wood with a male face on it! Or his friend!"

"Did you see where he was headed?" Eddy asked.

"I think he said he was gonna try searchin' the big top!" answered the guard.

"Thanks!" Eddy yelled before he ran off-screen.


At the carnival zoo, Sarah was holding up a pink camera as she prepared to take a picture of Jimmy posing with a sleeping rhino with its seven family members in the background. Neighboring this cage were cages with giraffes, horses, llamas, and peacocks. There was also one large cage for four elephants.

"Okay, one more, then we'll call Rolf and get outta here!" Sarah said.

"You got it!" Jimmy agreed.

Some distance behind Sarah, Holly and Ed could be seen running in another direction until…

"Ed, look!" Holly and Ed stopped as the former pointed to Sarah and Jimmy.

"Oh, I don't believe it!" Ed ran towards the freshmen. "Jimmy! Sarah!"

Sarah turned around as she pressed flash and blinded the distracted Jimmy and woke the rhino up!

"Ohh!" Sarah scoffed as she rolled her eyes. "Yer not gonna get in my face about flash photography are ya? And what up with the clovers?"

"Listen to me!" ordered Holly. "Whether you wanna believe this or not, Maggie and Double D are at home, out cold because of…well, you know what day this is?"

"Friday the 13th?" Sarah answered jokingly. "Seriously, how old do you think we are?"

"Knew she was gonna be skeptical! That's why I took these earlier on!" Ed took out his digital camera and showed Sarah a picture of Maggie, whose face was insanely red and horribly burned! He then showed her a picture of the electrocuted Edd, who was lying on his living room floor after being shocked. Sarah developed bug-eyes when she saw these. "And if you think these are fake, check out what Brooke sent us from Peach Creek General Hospital!" Ed showed Sarah an off-screen picture before the latter gasped fearfully. "That's Kevin and Cody! And you know damn well that no one would go this far just to pull a prank!"

"Eddy and Nazz set off the bad luck chain by accident earlier today!" explained Holly. "We were gonna just stay at Eddy's place until midnight when it ends!"

"But then we realized that bad luck was targeting other people!" Ed added. "Both strangers to us…and people we care about!"

Sarah just stared at Ed and Holly with a fearful, bug-eyed facial expression. She gulped heavily as a racing heartbeat could be heard as a sound effect.

"We came all the way here to get you guys, Jonny, and Rolf!" Holly continued. "I dunno if Nazz or Eddy found them yet, but I do know that this carnival is the last place we'd be safe at! So, get Jimmy and follow us!"

Sarah nodded before she turned around and yelled, "Jimmy! We gotta go! Now!"

"Yer not seriously listening to them, are you?" Jimmy asked.

"We're not kidding, Jimmy!" yelled Ed. "Let's go!"

Just then, without prior notice, a gust of wind swiftly blew past the group as they shouted, "WHOA!" and the clovers that were in Ed and Holly's hands flew up in the air and out of sight!

"Oh, God!" Ed said hoarsely as he looked up into the sky.

"Please tell me you have more charms!" Sarah said out of fear.

"I gave everything but those clovers to Double D!" Ed replied as he continued to stare into the sky.

"And Ed gave me a clover after I gave everything to Maggie!" added Holly as she looked up into the sky.

"So, we're traveling up bad luck creek without good luck paddles?" asked the fearful Sarah.

"Pretty much!" Ed and Holly said in unison.

Suddenly, the animals started to bellow out of fear. The teens looked at the animals and then at each other knowingly.

"Holly, time!" Ed rushed before Holly took out her cell phone and answered, "Thirty-five minutes till midnight!"

"Oh, good!" Ed said relieved.

Nearby, a muscular teen slammed a mallet onto the target of a High-striker game before the metal cylinder went up and knocked the yellow bell off of the top and sent it flying towards Ed's group!

"All we gotta do now is find Eddy and Na-"

Ed was cut off when the bell knocked Sarah on the ground and unconscious!

"SARAH!" Jimmy screamed in concern.

"Quick! Grab her and let's get out of here!" Holly shouted.

Jimmy picked Sarah up baby-style and ran with Ed and Holly.


Somewhere else in the park, Nazz and Rolf were walking slowly while the former was explaining to him the real situation. The two stopped at a hamburger stand.

"If this is true, then Rolf does not wish to be in your presence at this moment, she who's cursed with inevitable misfortune!" Rolf said.

"Dude, even if I go away, you'd still be in for it!" replied Nazz. "Bad luck's not only out to get me and Eddy, it's also got you and everyone else we care about on the list!"

"Then Rolf must utilize your large shamrock as he gets food, leader-of-bombshell-troop Nazz girl!" Rolf took the clover from Nazz as she sighed annoyed.

"Hallo!" Rolf greeted as he took out a twenty-dollar bill. "Rolf wishes to purchase your largest and most succulent quantity of meat on bread, yes?"

The female worker grabbed his money before she shouted, "WE NEED A TRIPLE-STACK ASAP, LENNY!"

In the stand, a man was shaking the fries up before he put them in the grease and stepped over to the grill. Just then, Nazz's cell phone rang before she took it out and answered, "Hello?"

"Nazz!" Holly's voice shouted before the screen shifted to her group, who were still running and appeared to be minus one Sarah! "Bad luck's back! And because it's twenty-five minutes till, it's hitting us harder than before! We lost our clover and Sarah just got knocked unconscious by the bell of a high-striker game!" she continued before the screen shifted back to the bug-eyed Nazz, who asked, "Where is she now?"

"We had to drop her off at the carnival police office!" Holly answered. "Eddy said we can't afford having extra weight on us while bad luck is on our asses like this! Is Rolf with you?"

"Yeah!" replied Nazz. "We're at a food stand!"

"Well, get him and yourself outta there!" Holly demanded before the screen shifted back to her. "We have to leave the park and shield ourselves before midnight!" the screen shifted back to Nazz.

"All right!" Nazz said. "Rolf, we have to go! Now!"

"In a moment, impatient Nazz girl!" Rolf said. "Rolf cannot depart in unrestrained fear on an empty belly!"

"I'm serious, Rolf!" Nazz urged.

Just then, while holding Rolf's giant burger, Lenny slipped on some grease and accidentally grabbed a French fry grate's handle as he landed before French fry grease was flung over the counter just as Rolf turned around!

"SLORRRRGAHHHHHHHHH!" Rolf shrieked as the hot grease flew into his eyes and made him fall to his knees and others to rush towards him!

"ROLF!" Nazz shouted in concern before Holly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hot grease just got hurled into Rolf's eyes!" Nazz answered in bug-eyed fear before the screen shifted to Holly, who ordered, "Get outta there! There's nothing you can do for him now!" the screen shifted back to Nazz, as Holly continued, "Just go! GO!"

Unwillingly, Nazz ran away from Rolf just as two police officers arrived at the scene and grabbed him.


Meanwhile, Jonny was walking with only Plank in his arms.

"Look Plank, I'm sorry she left you because she thought you had a tiny dick, but that's still no reason for you to run…" Jonny talked to Plank. "…well, you wanted her!…Don't blame this on me!…Fine! We'll see the fire-eater guy, then we can go home so you can mope!"

Jonny walked up to the fire-eater show before Eddy suddenly ran out from behind a passing hotdog cart! He looked to his left before he spotted Jonny.

"JONNY!" Eddy yelled before he (Jonny) looked at Eddy as he (Eddy) ran towards him (Jonny). Jonny greeted, "Hiya, Eddy! Nice clover! What's that, pal?…Plank says thanks again for the motorcycle!"

"Listen, we gotta get outta this park! Now!" Eddy frequently told Jonny.

"Why? What's goin' on?" Jonny asked.

As Eddy explained, in the background, two male clowns (one with orange hair and the other with yellow hair) were at a food stand and each had a slice of pizza. The orange-haired clown ate his in one gulp while the yellow-haired one had yet to take a bite. The still-hungry orange-haired clown tapped the yellow-haired clown on the other side of his shoulder before the latter looked in that direction and the orange-haired clown stole his pizza and gulped it down! The yellow-haired clown saw that his pizza was gone and angrily looked at the orange-haired one!

"You ate my pizza!" yelled the yellow-haired clown.

"Did not!" the orange-haired clown lied.

"Did so!" the angered yellow-haired clown argued.

"Did not!" the orange-haired clown justified.

"Yes you did ya lyin', greedy son of a bitch!" cursed the yellow-haired clown before he and the other clown hopped off of their stools!

"And if I did, what're you gonna do about it?" yelled the orange-haired clown before the yellow-haired clown threw a unicycle at the former's face and knocked him down! Angered, the orange-haired clown took out a banana cream pie with an iron inside and threw it at the yellow-haired clown before the latter ducked and the pie flew straight for the back of Eddy's head!

"Yer not serious, are ya Eddy?" Jonny held his hands on Plank's "ears".

"I'm dead serious, man! And we gotta get outta here before…WHOA!" Eddy turned around and saw the "iron pie" flying straight towards him! Eddy then ducked before the pie went smack into Jonny's face and sent him flying straight into the fire-eater! Before they fell off the stage, the fire-eater ended up burping a fireball towards Eddy as he (Eddy) stood back up and turned back around in time to see it coming!

"YAH!" the bug-eyed Eddy shouted as he put the clover in front of him only seconds before the fireball burned it to a crisp and left Eddy speechless, but unscathed! Eddy then looked at his fallen friend as the crowd gathered around him (Jonny). Sadly realizing that there was nothing more he could do, Eddy ran off while the clowns ran towards Jonny.


Near a merry-go-round, Ed, Holly, Jimmy, and Nazz ran into each other while having panicked and terrified looks on their respective faces!

"There you are!" Ed said out of breath. "Where's Eddy?"

"I don't-"

"Right here!" Eddy suddenly appeared behind his friends out of breath.

"Where's Jonny?" Holly asked.

"Bad luck got 'im!" Eddy answered as he panted.

"Same with Sarah!" said Jimmy.

"And Rolf!" Nazz added.

"Holly!" Eddy looked at Holly before she took out her cell phone and said, "We got twenty minutes to get to your car!"

"Let's move then!" Eddy advised.

But before the teens could even start, they heard various animal noises in the distance opposing the merry-go-round and saw many people running away and in their direction. They looked in that direction and much to their bug-eyed horror, saw all of the zoo animals headed straight for them at an insane pace!

"STAMPEDE!" Eddy shouted before the entire group ran away along with the crowd. "WE GOTTA GET TO MY CAR!"

"NO SHIT!" screamed Nazz.

As they and many people before them continued to run away, the stampede got closer and closer until the terrified elephant knocked Ed and Jimmy into the air with its trunk and sent them flying towards the spinning merry-go-round!

"ED!" Holly worried while off-screen.

"AAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" Ed and Jimmy screamed as they descended towards the merry-go-round! Jimmy fell on top of a horse on the ride while Ed fell on top of and unwittingly flipped the switch controlling the ride before it spun faster as the people and their kids screamed in terror! Ed quickly realized this issue and flipped the switch back to normal speed. But unfortunately, this caused all of the people on there (including Jimmy) to be flung in all directions before the ride even stopped!

"Uh-oh!" Ed exclaimed.


At the same time, Nazz, Eddy, and Holly were still on the run from the stampede! Just then, Eddy spotted a getaway chance to his right before he yelled…

"QUICK! JUMP!" Eddy and the girls lunged to the right and the stampede continued forward.

"Holly…time!" Nazz breathed heavily as they stood up and got back on the street.

But as Holly took out her cell phone, the trio heard a horse whinny as it approached. Around the horse's neck was a long wire with a super-huge black dumbbell unintentionally tied at the other end. The trio jumped out of the way of the horse, but the wire and the dumbbell wrapped around Holly's ankles before she was yanked off along with the still-running horse!

"HOLLY!" Eddy and Nazz screamed for their friend before they chased after her. But the horse was too fast for them and Holly would always be just a reach ahead of them!

"AAGGHH! HELP ME!" Holly screamed in bug-eyed fear.

The screen shifted to an audience that was about to watch a sword-swallowing show. But as the performer drew his sword, the horse suddenly reappeared and cut through the audience as it continued to drag Holly and be pursued by Eddy and Nazz!

"We'll never be able to get her loose this way!" yelled Nazz.

"Yeah, we will!" Eddy replied confidently before he jumped on stage and snatched the performer's sword right out of his hand and continued to give unrelenting chase with Nazz!

"Hey! Give that back!" the sword-swallower angrily yelled off-screen as Eddy and Nazz continued.

The horse then made a turn down a large street with food stands on each side and people watching the horse as it dragged Holly. Right behind them were the still-relentless Eddy and Nazz. The former ran up a food stand wall in a cartoonish fashion before he began running and jumping from rooftop to rooftop! Nazz hopped on a nearby moped and pursued Holly on that. But despite these valiant efforts, Holly always remained slightly unreachable to her saviors!

"Can this fucking night get any worse?" Holly shouted before she looked ahead and heard various animal noises. She developed bug-eyes when she saw that it was the stampede that she, Eddy, and Nazz had recently avoided running past the intersection she was headed for! "AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!"

Eddy looked down and uttered, "You gotta be shittin' me!" as Nazz looked forward and said, "Oh, god!"

In slow motion, the horse jumped over the stampede while Holly was about to be dragged underneath it! As the sound of a heartbeat could be heard, Nazz stopped riding while Eddy jumped off of the last rooftop and tossed the sword at the horse and Holly! Nazz saw this and crossed her fingers knowingly. Ultimately…THE SWORD CUT THE WIRE AND FREED HOLLY'S ANKLE JUST BEFORE AN ELEPHANT COULD TRAMPLE HER FOOT! Holly hyperventilated and held her chest before Nazz ran up behind her, fell to her (Nazz's) knees, and hugged her best friend in relief! Meanwhile, Eddy fell onto three metal trashcans before he landed on the ground and groaned.

"Things I do for people!" Eddy stood up before he looked to his right and developed bug-eyes when he saw…"BLACK CATS!" a stampede of black felines that started to run past his feet before he began to stumble!

As she and Holly got up, Nazz saw Eddy's predicament and realized what that many black cats could do to one person on a day like today!

"Eddy!" Nazz whispered in concern before she ran down the street to get him.

As soon as the last cat got across Eddy's feet, he fell into the middle of the street. He got back up in time to see a U-haul truck speeding towards him!

"OH SH-UNH!" Eddy exclaimed before he got tackled out of the way by Nazz, who was lying on top of Eddy as he looked onto the street.

"What the hell's a U-haul truck doin' in a carnival?" Eddy yelled angrily before Nazz grabbed Eddy's hand and said, "C'mon!" as they stood up. Nazz walked out onto the street and in the process, stepped on a crack! She saw this and looked both ways until she looked up and saw a giant flatscreen TV descending towards her! She would've moved, but she was too frightened! Eddy, however, saw this, reached for Nazz EEnE-style, and yanked her away just before the TV hit the ground and Holly ran up beside her.

"Is that my TV?" Nazz asked angered.

"Holly! Time!" rushed Eddy before Holly took out her phone and answered, "Ten minutes till! We gotta move!"

"That way!" Eddy pointed to the intersection that was recently overrun by the stampede. "We can cut through there! Follow me!" Eddy yelled as he ran in that direction and the girls followed. The screen shifted to the carnival's entrance/exit before Eddy and the girls showed up on-screen running towards it.

"Almost there, ladies!" Eddy shouted confidently before he and the girls ran through the entrance/exit. Just then, "EDDY!" The trio stopped when they heard Ed's voice calling out from behind them. They turned around and saw Ed and a speechless Jimmy running straight for them!

"Ed!" Holly screamed in an almost tearful relief.

"Let's go!" Eddy bellowed. "It's almost midnight!"

The teens ran straight for Eddy's Camaro as Jimmy screamed, "We're gonna make it!" But suddenly, an earthquake fell upon the land and in the process, the screen violently shook!

"AN EAR-R-R-THQUAKE? IN P-P-PEACH CREEK?" shouted Jimmy.

"C-C-COULD THE D-D-DIRECTOR G-G-GET ANY L-L-LAMER?" Nazz shrieked.

Suddenly, huge rocks started to emerge and descend from the pavement and affected everyone's car except Eddy's for some reason. The teens noticed this as they tried to keep themselves from falling down.

"W-W-HY ISN'T MY C-C-C-AR GETTIN' SCREWED U-U-UP?" Eddy yelled.

"C-C-CUZ…" Holly started as she fell to her knees. "B-B-BAD LUCK IS D-D-DARING US!"

"NO!" Ed shouted as he stood up. "IT-IT-IT'S… STALLING US!"

"W-W-WELL…IT-IT-IT'S NOT GONNA WORK ON ME!" Eddy yelled as he jumped from rising stone to rising stone.

"FOLLOW HIM!" Nazz yelled before she did the same. Using her Martial arts and gymnastics skills to make it look like no problem.

Jimmy climbed onto Ed's back before the latter and Holly joined in. As they continued forward, it began thundering and lightening as the sky turned black! Although it scared them a little, it did not stop them! As they got closer and closer to the Camaro, Holly took out her cell phone. And looked at the time which read, "11:59 p.m."! She clicked on a few buttons before a stopwatch appeared and revealed that…

"WE'VE GOT FIFTEEN SECONDS!" screamed Holly.

"THEN LET'S PUNCH IT!" yelled Eddy.

Once Holly's stopwatch app reached ten seconds, everything went slo-mo! The kids spent the first four seconds hopping off of the last few rocks before they landed feet-first on the ground and rushed towards Eddy's car! Three seconds later, Eddy opened his shotgun door and hopped into the front seats along with Nazz while Ed, Holly, and Jimmy hopped into the backseats! Once the doors shut, Holly's stopwatch read, "3…2…1…12:00 a.m." before triumphant music played at normal speed and all of the chaos, both sky and ground, vanished! Inside the car, Eddy and Nazz respectively emerged from the driver and shotgun seats while Ed (who was lying on Holly's lap) and Jimmy (who was on the floor) emerged speechless. Was it really over? Holly looked at her cell phone, which now read "12:01 a.m."!

"Guys! It's over! IT'S FINALLY OVER!" Holly happily shrieked before the screen shifted to the outside of the car and the kids cheered! Just then, Eddy started his car up and drove out of the lot before the screen faded to black.


The screen reopened in Edd's backyard table, where the recovered Edd and Maggie were seen sitting at the table with Eddy, Nazz, Ed, and Holly as they sipped on root beer and talked about their unfortunate misadventure.

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Maggie. "Are they all right now?"

"Yeah! They're at home restin' right now!" answered Eddy.

"By the way, Maggie, how'd you get that burn off your face?" Holly asked.

"Amazing what only a dab of facial restoration cream can do in just half an hour, isn't it?" Edd smirked before he winked and Maggie looked at him and smiled.

"Well Ed, looks like you and that sci-fi stuff you like paid off again, didn't it big guy?" Maggie looked at Ed, who smiled.

"But there's one thing that's been bothering me!" Nazz said.

"What?" Ed asked.

"When I was with Rolf, he grabbed the clover that you gave me!" Nazz started. "But still, he got bad luck!"

"Yeah!" Eddy remembered. "And when I was with Jonny, I was almost hit in the head by an iron pie only after I turned around! Then Jonny ended up gettin' hit and he sent this fire-eater guy flying off the stage!"

"And we lost our clover in the wind before Sarah got knocked out! Heh, guess that tactic didn't work!" Ed recalled before Holly shushed him.

"What tactic?" Nazz asked suspiciously.

"Oh, uh nothing!" Ed lied as he sweated.

"What tactic?" Eddy asked impatiently.

"Nothing! Drink your soda!" Holly smiled nervously.

"WHAT TACTIC?" Eddy and Nazz stood up and yelled in unison. Ed and Holly looked nervous while Edd and Maggie just stared at them (Ed and Holly).

"Look, the clovers we gave you weren't real 4-leaf clovers!" Holly explained. "But we thought that bad luck wouldn't be able to tell the difference because it stands clear of all things good luck!"

"But I guess we were wrong!" Ed smiled nervously as Eddy and Nazz angrily glared at them. "Pretty funny, huh guys?"

"Funny?" Eddy yelled. "I almost got burned or knocked unconscious because I let my guard down when I had that thing! Do you realize how much trouble we would still be in if that had happened?"

"Aw, c'mon, guys!" Holly laughed nervously. "All rescue teams screw up on getting material defenses sooner or later, right?"

Eddy cracked his knuckles while Nazz cracked her neck! Ed and Holly continued to sweat and gulp until…

"Hey, look! There's Cody and Kevin!" Ed suddenly said before Eddy and Nazz turned around and Ed and Holly zipped away at EEnE-speed! The screen cut to the outside of Edd's house, before Ed and Holly broke the door down and ran down the street! Only to be chased by the enraged Eddy and Nazz!

"Wait'll I get my hands on you!" yelled Eddy.

"Will someone end this episode?" Ed yelled. "I think we already went overtime! AAGGHH!"

The screen zoomed in on all four characters before the screen went completely black and a crashing noise could be heard!

End of episode 6


Did you know: "Baker Art Museum" is named after "Dee Bradley Baker": my ideal voice actor for teenage Kevin. Rolf getting hot grease thrown into his eyes was deference to the old series. In which he had his eye hit by Ed's spatula (Boo Haw Haw) and kicked accidentally by Edd (A fistful of Ed). Jimmy briefly carrying Sarah was an intended inverse to the old series (in which Sarah always carried him, never the other way around).


Hope you've enjoyed episode 6! Next episode, I will explore high school elections, but portray them and juice them up Actionphoenix260-style! And to add to the pubescent suspense and drama, I'm reinventing/reigniting the Ed/Kanker triangular rivalry; starting with Eddy and Lee. That's all for now folks!
