A little later, Eddy and Calvin were sitting in the bathroom, both eating Chunky Puffs. "...and that's why they're called 'Chunky Puffs,'" Eddy was saying.
"Eww," said a disgusted Calvin, "You don't say. And yet, still so tasty! But it never beats the 'Choco Frosted Sugar Bombs!'"
"Problem here, is we've got no one to scam!" complained Calvin.
"I've got a salmon," said Ed.
"Well, go scam the salmon OUT THERE!"
"Hey! Don't be mean to Angus!"
"Come on, Ed! He's stinkin' up the place!"
Calvin looked annoyed. This was a fun place, but Ed and Eddy's arguments got pretty annoying. He also couldn't shake the memory of Hobbes away. After all, Hobbes "died" about two hours ago. Ed, meanwhile, went out to sulk. Eddy ran outside, too. "Ed, don't be like that!" Mad, Ed turned away. Eddy sighed.
"Fine, fine...but you know you can't resist this song...
In the jungle
The mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle
The quiet jungle...Ed?"
Ed had wandered off. Eddy went back in the bathroom. Ed better not have wandered into Kevin's territory! They'd be in big trouble! Little did Eddy know, the Kankers, working for Bowser, had taken over Kevin's "kingdom."
"Where's Ed?" asked Calvin.
"Eh, the lump wandered off. Hope he doesn't hurt anyone like the LAST time he got lose." Both of them suddenly heard Ed screaming outside.
"That is MY fish! Give it back, oh infernal beast! I'll save you, Angus!" Calvin and Eddy ran out to find Hobbes and Ed arguing over the fish.
"Ed? What's going on? Hobbes?" Hobbes looked up. "Calvin?" A shocked Eddy watched as Calvin and Hobbes rolled around, laughing happily. As they talked together, Eddy got madder and madder. Now Calvin would go off with Hobbes, because knowing that tiger, he'd convince Calvin to go back where everyone else was! Hobbes and Calvin ran outside to play.
Ed was happy, bacause he had Angus back. But Eddy just sat and watched Calvin and Hobbes run around. "Look at them! Together! First we lose Double D, and now Calvin! There goes another friend! I can see what's happening."
"What?"
And they don't have a clue.
"Who?"
He'll leave with Hobbes and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two.
"Oh."
"It's a magical world"
"There's treasure everywhere"
And with all those famous one-liners
There's no room for us in there!
"What do we do?" asked Ed.
"We make sure Calvin doesn't leave today, that's what we do!" Eddy and Ed snuck outside to see Calvin and Hobbes riding in a wagon as unseen chorus sang:
Oh, will Calvin leave today?
Him and his very best friend
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
They hope it never ends!
"Eddy!" screamed Ed, "The voices are in my head again! Make them go away, Eddy! Make them go away!"
"No, Ed! Look at them in their wagon! If I steer them the wrong way..." Eddy gave the wagon a push and Calvin and Hobbes went over a cliff.
"Wow!" said Hobbes at the painful bottom.
"Just like old times!" said Calvin. Eddy hid behind a tree. "D'oh! Time for plan two!"
"Can I play the piano?"
Ignoring Ed, Eddy put a tuna on a string and lured Hobbes away. Eddy then set up a huge snare trap, and Hobbes got caught in it. Calvin ran over.
"Hey! This is like when we first met!"
"Yeah!"
Eddy couldn't take that. "WHAT!"
"At least I got the tuna," said Ed. Eddy walked back inside, mad as ever. "This is hopeless, Ed...Calvin's happy, Hobbes is happy...and they're together again, and...and...And if he leaves with Hobbes today
It can be assumed..."
Ed: His carefree days with us are history...
Both: In short, our pal is doomed.
The two of them burst into tears as they walked away, leaving Calvin and Hobbes alone together.
