Eddy and Ed were sadly walking back to their bathroom when they head Calvin and Hobbes arguing.

"All I know is I'm staying here, and you should, too," said Calvin.

"I thought you'd do the right thing this time," said a sad Hobbes. "But I was wrong."

"Hey! Come back! You...you said that you'd always be there for me!"

"I said that...but I thought YOU'D be there for me, too." Normally, this would be sad for anyone. But Eddy was delighted. "Hey, Ed? Here that?"

"They remind me of the shows my mom watches, Eddy."

"We won! Calvin is staying with us!"

"Calvin doesn't look happy..."

"He will be, when we throw the 'Calvin's Staying' party!"

"Can I jump naked out of a cake?"

With Eddy's call of "To the party store!" they both ran off as Eddy's narration returned: "So we got hats, and balloons, and all this other stuff. But when we got back..." Ed and Eddy returned to find a loud triumphant African tune playing as Calvin, Hobbes, Rolf, Jason, Marcus, and Linus were running back to the main room.

"Where are you guys going?" asked Eddy.

"We're off to save the kingdom from the Kankers!" said Calvin. Ed hid inside the bathroom. "Kankers!"

Eddy stubbornly stayed put. "Count me out! Besides, I hate Kevin! Why would I want to save his kingdom?"

Linus walked over and began a metaphorical speech: "True, things can be bad, and we may..."

"Give the speech later!" called Marcus, "We've got a kingdom to save!"

With that, they all ran away, leaving Eddy and Ed. The African tune faded, also going with the boys. The Eds, however, were left alone in the dark hallway on that cloudy day...all was quiet.

"Should we help them?" asked Ed.

"No way! He's deserting our happiness! And we sounded fine when it was just the TWO of us singing "Hakuna Matata!" I say, we let him go off and get killed!"

"Killed?"

"Well, hurt, at least. I say, we go back there and have some more Chunky Puffs. Hey, do you know why they're called Chunky Puffs? Funny story, see..."

Eddy keept talking, but his words went right past Ed, for he was paying more attention to the ghostly figure of Angus the fish appearing to him.

"Ed, you must go save your friend Calvin!" said Angus. "He and the others are in trouble, and they need YOU!"

"Eddy, I have to go! Angus told me!"

"What? I thought I got rid of that guy! Ed? Ed, come back!" But Ed had already left. Eddy growled as the lovable oaf disappeared down a corridor after the others. "Fine! I'm happy here in paradise!" Eddy sat down and sang a weak version of "Hakuna Matata."

Hakuna Matata...

what a doo-dah-doo-doo...

Hakuna...Matata...

ain't a something doo...

Linus came back. Stopping his song (if you could really call it that), Eddy jumped up. "Well, if it isn't Mr. Happiness! I know what you're gonna say! 'Are you happy?' And I'll say, 'Yes I am! Life is perfect!' And you'll say, 'Look what happened. You're living out your life in a men's bathroom.' And I'll look around and suddenly the bathroom won't look so nice! And then I'll realize I need Ed and Double D to be happy, and I should have actually TALKED to Double D, instead of jumping to conclusions! Now I'm gonna have to catch up with Ed and save the day! RIGHT! I knew it! Outta the way, security blanket boy!" Eddy ran after Ed. Linus sat in silence, watching Eddy return to his best friends.

"He may be able to talk fast, but boy, does he have an annoying voice."


For no reason on Saturday, CN aired a NEW episode of our favorite Eds! It was Cleanliness Is Next to Ed, all about poor Edd trying to get a shower when his bathroom was being renovated. It was a lot better than the new Sponegbobs Nickelodeon's been showing.
