This is my first story for Fan-Fiction.net. Please go easy on me.

The Eds sat on the sidewalk, bored out of their skulls. Eddy, once again, was having a bad case of scam block.

"AARGH!! I hate it when this happens!" he yelled.

"So do I." Edd looked rather annoyed. Eddy's voice could be so loud and irritating at times.

Ed stared blankly, obviously off in his own little world. Eddy's voice snapped him out of his daze. "What were we doing again?" he asked stupidly.

Eddy had a rather annoyed look on his face. "For the billionth time, Monobrow. We're trying to think of a scam. Or at least Sockhead and I have been trying. You haven't done much of anything." Eddy frowned at Ed.

Ed looked a bit guilty. Edd rested a hand on his shoulder. "Their, their, Ed. Eddy didn't mean what he said." Edd frowned disapprovingly at Eddy. Eddy gritted his teeth. "I'm sure you've thought of a great scam, have you not?"

Despite his frustration, Eddy grinned. "Yeah. Tell us, Monobrow. What's this fantastic scam you've been cooking up?"

"People eat scams?" Ed looked confused, then excited. "Can I have ketchup on mine?"

Eddy banged his head on a lamppost. Edd, once again, spoke to Ed. "What Eddy means, Ed, is have you thought of a good scam by now?"

"Uh..." Ed stared blankly. A trickle of drool ran down his chin.

Edd and Eddy stared at him. "Well?" Eddy asked annoyed.

Ed snapped out of his daze. "Sorry, guys. I was thinking of the Marshmallow Men from the planet Puff." Ed smiled then a look of horror crossed his face. "And there's one now!"

"What are you talking abou-" Eddy's question was interrupted as a baseball hit him in the face and knocked him to the ground.

"Nice catch, Dork." Kevin said sarcastically. He was wielding a baseball bat over his shoulder. Behind him was Rolf, wearing a catcher's mitt. Both of them approached the Eds.

"Why, hello, Kevin. Hello, Rolf. How are doing today?" Edd asked.

"Fine, Dork. Can we please have our baseball back?"

"Baseball?" Ed, once again, looked confused. He stared at Eddy, who was lying on the ground in daze. The baseball stuck out of his mouth. He turned to Kevin and Rolf. "Do you mean the Marshmallow Man who is currently abducting Eddy?"

Kevin looked confused. "What?"

"Rolf is confused. What is this "Marshmallow" that Cabbage-headed Ed-boy speaks of?"

Edd smiled yet again. "You'll have to forgive Ed. He's watched so many Sci- fi films in the past that sometimes he-

"MARSHMALLOW MEN!"

Edd, Kevin, and Rolf stared at Ed. His sudden outburst also snapped Eddy out of his coma.

"Would you cut it with the stupid "Marshmallow" already?! We're not getting anything done with you constantly blubbering about-" Eddy stopped in mid- rant as he noticed Kevin for the first time. He frowned. "Would you watch where you swinging that stupid baseball, you dumb oaf? You nearly gave me a concussion!"

Kevin frowned. "Who you calling a dumb oaf, you-" Kevin was interrupted as Eddy was suddenly lifted from the ground by Ed. "The Marshmallow Men are invading! We must take shelter!"

Eddy shouted at Ed. "What are you doing, you idiot? Let me gooooooooooooooo- " Ed started running, clutching on to a screaming Eddy. He zipped past Kevin, who got spinned around widely. The baseball bat flew out of his hand and collided with Rolf's face.

Rolf lay on the ground, dazed and with the bat in his mouth. Edd was too busy staring at Rolf to notice Ed grab him along with Eddy.

Edd looked back at Kevin and Rolf, who were both lying on the ground and were nearly unconscious. "Oh, dear." He moaned.

Eddy was furious. "What are you doing, you idiot? Have you gone insane?!

Ed responded to this by stuffing both him and Edd through his basement window. Ed himself dived in a second later.

When they were in his room, Ed finally looked relaxed. "We are safe. The Marshmallows will never find us here."

His friends stood behind him. Eddy had an annoyed look on his face while Edd looked worried. "I think we'll have much more important things to worry about than Marshmallows when Kevin and Rolf finally catch up to us, Ed."

"Yeah. And we still haven't thought of a scam!" Eddy yelled. He crossed his arms and turned away from Ed and Edd. Suddenly, that of curiosity replaced the sour expression on his face. He put a hand to his chin. "Or have we?"

Edd continued to lecture Ed. "Ed, how many times to we have to tell you that Science Fiction movies are just that - movies. They're not like real life at all. There are no such things as Marshmallow Men or any other bizarre creatures you may have seen in some film."

Eddy suddenly pulled Edd's hat over his head. He had a huge grin on his face. "Of course there is, Sockhead. What are you talking about?" He went over to Ed and swung an arm over his shoulder. "Don't listen to him, Monobrow. He's had one too many bowls of that genetically-harvested oatmeal."

Ed made a look of disgust, upon remembering what that stuff tasted like.

Edd, meanwhile, had finally managed to pull his hat off his face. He frowned disapprovingly at Eddy. "Eddy, what are you up to?"

Simple, Sockhead." Eddy reached over and swung his other arm around Edd's shoulder. "Ol' Burrhead here just gave me my greatest idea yet! You guys can dress up as aliens and terrorize the rest of the kids in the Cul-de- sac."

There was silence for a moment. Finally, Edd spoke. "What?"

"ALIENS!" Ed yelled in joy. He laughed and ran out of the room, saying on the way to the door "I will make the costumes!"

Edd and Eddy stood alone in Ed's room. Edd frowned once again at Eddy. "What do you mean, "dress up as aliens"? What kind of an idea is that? Are you sure that baseball didn't hit you too hard?"

Eddy smirked. "Quite a sense of humor you've got their, Double D. And anyway, let me explain. You and Ed can dress up as alien and terrorize the neighborhood. I'll then scam the kids into paying me money to get rid of you two."

Edd still looked annoyed. "Why do I have to be an alien?"

Eddy, still grinning, responded. "I'm too handsome to be convincing."

Edd rolled his eyes. Suddenly, a large, green thing came crashing down on his head. It turned out to be a hat/helmet designed to look like an alien forehead. Ed stood next to him, holding his own forehead. "What do you think, Double D?" Ed put on his forehead and beamed proudly. "I made them myself".

Eddy snickered. "So, what do you say, Double D? You in?"

Edd sighed. "Take me to your leader." He said dryly.
