Bowser and his kids paced through the castle. "I don't believe it!" ranted Bowser. "Those kids probably have the lamp now!"

"That's life, King Dad..." began Lemmy.

"...stuff happens," finished Iggy.

"Can't we just force our way in and get the lamp ourselves?" suggested Roy.

"I'm too lazy," said Bowser. "It's more fun to complain, ya know?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Hitchhiker's rocket, meanwhile, landed at an oasis. "Welcome, to scenic Uncharted Oasis!" grinned Ezra. "Hope you like your stay!"

"Thank you very much," said Double D. "Now I can ponder my three wishes in peace."

"Three?" smiled Phineas. "And here we thought you were smart! You've got two left."

"Technically, I never wished my way out..." Double D pointed out the them. "You all did that on your own."

"Eddy would call you pigeons!" laughed Ed.

Phineas fainted. "My heart!"

"Can I pound them now?" asked Gus.

"No, Gus..." sighed Ezra. When the ghost wasn't looking, Gus dropped his ball and chain on Double D's foot.

"Ow!" cried Double D. "Pain! pain, pain, pain!"

"What are you gonna wish for?" asked Ed.

"Maybe for his foot to stop hurting," guessed Phineas.

Double D leaned against a tree. "Very funny. I've had worse than this. What would you three wish for?"

"A Broadway show of every Disney movie!" cried Phineas.

"No, no, no!" groaned Ezra. "We'd wish for freedom!"

"I miss our friends back in the mansion..." agreed Phineas.

"Trapped in a lamp for a few weeks is bad," admitted Gus.

"A few weeks?" exclaimed Ezra. "We'll be there forever! The only way to get out is to be wished free."

"I could wish you free," Double D looked up.

"YEAH, RIGHT!" chorused the ghosts.

"We're guys like you!" said Ezra. "We can't commit! How do we know you can?"

Double D shook his head. "I'm completely serious and painfully honest. I promise I'll use my final wish to free you."

Gus glared at him. "I've learned never trust a guy you just smashed the foot of."

"Well," shrugged Phineas, "we've got no choice. Okay."

"But until then," said Ezra, "what are you gonna wish for?"

Double D smiled. "Well, there's a girl at my camp..."

"And you wanna see her do someone else?" grinned Ezra.

"Sorry," said Phineas, "can't grant it."

"Oh, she already loves me," said Double D.

"And she was all worried about you when the Koopas came," said Ed.

Double D blushed. "She was! I must impress her when I return! Perhaps if I was stronger..."

"Stronger?" cried Ezra. "We can do that!"

"Well then...I wish I was strong!"

"Oh boy!" cheered Phineas. "Our first real wish! I'm so nervous!"

"Let's see," said Ezra. "We could just give you just some normal muscles OR there's the steroids package! Not only are you freakishly huge, but we throw in some man-boobs and a high-pitched voice!"

"But he already has the voice," Phineas pointed out. "Man-boobs would be redundant."

"Fine," said Ezra, "I'll keep those for myself."

"I never know when that guy's joking..." whispered Gus.

"Milk 'em, cowboy!" called Ed.

Ezra flew around excitedly. "Okay, master, you'll be Popeye in a few seconds!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at camp, Bowser and his kids were on the roof of the camp building watching the kids marching off to camp.

"Okay," Bowser told the Koopalings, "we're on a part kidnap, part rescue, part murder mission. We have to nab another kid, get them into the sewers to recover the lamp, and then get rid of Double D and Ed!"

"I'm bored!" complained Wnedy. "Call me when we're actually doing something."

"I never said this would be perfect," admitted Bowser. "But once we've taken over the kingdom...then we'll have some fun."

"Kevin," Nazz was saying to Kevin in the line of kids, "those Koopas really came and got Double D!"

Calvin heard them. "Koopas! Here? I knew it! It's been a while since they invaded!"

"A while!" cried Eddy. "It's been, like, three days!"

"That's a lot for the Koopas," said Hobbes. "How does Nazz know about them?"

Calvin pulled out a packet of paper and began to scribble away. "Okay, we'll have to stock up on items to save him. We're gonna need a dozen fire flowers, a few feathers, countless P-Wings, and a Frog Suit or two to be safe."

"I've narrowed the location of Double D down to twenty places," said Jason, marking things in his Nintendo Atlas.

"Why's the Valley of Bowser on the list?" asked Marcus. "He hasn't used that in years!"

"You never know." The boys all began to argue.

"Wait a second," interrupted Nazz. "You all know about them?"

"Since, like, the beginning of camp," said Calvin.

"It's his fault they got out in the first place," Eddy pointed at Calvin.

"And proud of it!" grinned Calvin,

Suddenly, a loud fanfare cut them off. They turned to see the Hitchhiking Ghosts marching along with a Disney-style parade float. On it, sat a surprisingly muscular Double D.

Hitchhiking Genies: Make way for Double D

Say hey! It's Double D

Ezra: Hey! Clear the way on the sidewalk now

Phineas: Hey you!

Let us through!

Gus: And you better bow

Ezra: Oh, come!

Be the first on your block to meet his eye!

Gus: Make way!

Phineas: Here he comes!

Gus: Ring bells! Bang the drums!

Ezra: Are you gonna love this guy!

Double D! A member is he

Of Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy

Genuflect, show some respect

Down on one knee!

Girls, you just hold yourselves back

He's busy, cut him some slack

'Cause this guy does everything amazingly

Phineas: Double D

Amazing is he

And we all know it

Smart as ten genius men, definitely!

Gus: He makes robots everyday

Ezra: And they're amazing I say

Phineas: Who is great all of the way?

All Three: Why, Double D

Gus: He's got millions of awesome inventions

Ezra: And a cactus

Ed: And a stinky hat

Phineas: With his bugs, you'll want to pay attention

Gus: Well, he's got some ants

Ezra: And I bet you shan't

All Three: Ever see something else like that

Marie: Double D! Handsome is he, and we all know it

Has nice shoes, could never lose

Playing hockey

Well, we'll all scramble about

He's a big target and stout

But we'll catch him an make out with Double D

(Sung in counterpoint)

Lee and May: There's no question that he's quite alluring

Though his intellect may leave some snoring

Thankfully, we girls are just so sophisticated

Of course, when he sees us, he'll go running

'Cause he finds us a bit less than stunning

So we gotta drug him first, so he's sedated

Gus: His labeled stuff is updated all day

(Eddy: How'd he get so strong? How'd he get so strong?)

And to use them, he charges no fee

(Calvin and Hobbes: It's disturbing, it's disturbing)

He's got other stuff that we didn't say

(Jason and Marcus: What is going on!)

All Three: He's got that and more but you are sure

He's much better than you and me, Double D! Double D...

(They have reached the pool. Ezra knocks Double D in the water, and the ghosts jump in as well. Everything starts to rumble, and the four emerge, riding on a large fountain system)

Double D

A member is he of Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy

Ezra: He's so strong, why, in a thong he'd look lovely

Yes, he worked out and he ate, improved his strength and his weight

All Three: His exercising stuff's 'least fifty pounds

If they fell, they'd leave a hole in the ground

Finally he's buff, this guy's looking tough

Now he's here for all to see

He's Double D!

Nazz walked over in shock. "Double D? But what happened to the Koopas and the..."

"Those weren't Koopas!" interrupted Ezra.

"Ezra..." warned Double D, wanting to tell the truth.

Ignoring him, Ezra continued. "They were...frat boys."

"Frat boys!" exclaimed Nazz.

"What did you think they were, terrorists?" said Phineas.

"I was worried about you!" Nazz angrily stomped away.

"Dork!" called Kevin. Everyone went back to ignoring Double D and started playing in the pool.

Double D stared in shock. "She didn't even notice the muscles..."

The Koopas peered in. "Double D has the lamp!" hissed Bowser. "He's in trouble now!"

Eddy, Calvin, Hobbes, Jason, and Marcus were also watching. "This makes absolutely no sense!" cried Calvin.

"Which is really saying something for this camp," added Hobbes. "What are the Hitchhiking Ghosts doing here?"

Jason started thinking. "With the Koopas, ghosts, and a strong Double D, this could mean one thing...alien invasion!"

Marcus rushed off. "I'll get the satellite!"

"Look at Double D..." sighed Eddy. "Hitting on Nazz, impressing everyone. What happened to us?"

"Oh, come on," said Calvin. "It's been less than a day!"

Eddy simply walked away in disgust. "We used to be thick, how quick they forget!"

"Harsh," said Gus, regarding Nazz.

"You're not getting any tonight, man," agreed Ezra.

Double D looked up. "'Not getting any...' did you just make a casual reference to..."

"Don't blame your dirty, dirty thoughts on me," cried Ezra. "Now get your mind out of the gutter, 'cause we've got to help you get this girl!"

"I like gutters," said Ed.

Double D sighed. "I hope this works..."

The "Double D" song was originally for an episode called "Doomsday" where Eddy, Jason, and Marcus trick Double D into building them a device of mass destruction. Near the beginning, they win him over in a song. It was virtually identical to the one here aside from the final verse:

Double D

A member is he of Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy

Pardon my greed, but we do need something of ye

It would be so fine, if you gave us doomsday designs

With sixty lazers, cannons galore

With bullets and blasters

A few bombs and more

With violent things, a little bell that rings

That's what we all need, you see...

...Thanks, Double D!

There was also a few altered lines in the finale of this as well:

Double D a member is he of Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy

Was distressed 'cause he weighed less than seventy

He's really been working out, so hopefully no one doubts

He's got a lot of weights, 'least fifty pounds

...etc.
