That night, Double D was sitting under Nazz's window in the Cul-De-Sac. "Oh, curses! What ever am I going to do?"

"You've gotta wow the girl!" suggested Ezra.

"Or at least ooh her," said Phineas.

"'Ooh her?'" repeated Double D.

"When she says 'wow,' you've wowed her, and when she says 'ooh,' you've oohed her," explained Gus. "It's not rocket science."

"But I AM a rocket scientist!" defended Double D. "Oh, never mind. I think I should just tell her the truth."

"NOOOOOO!" screamed Ezra. "You can't do that! The series would be ruined if everyone knew about the Koopas! We've already screwed stuff up with other people being able to see Hobbes, but the fact that only a few battle with these monsters keeps the spirit of the comic to an extent!"

Double D looked down. "But if I don't tell her, our relationship may be ruined."

"Priorities, man!" chorused the ghosts/genies. "COME ON!"

"Fine...wait, I have an idea! Ed!" Double D called his friend.

Ed, who was sleeping under a tree, woke up. "I just dreamed that I was in a funhouse with dancing pigs."

Double D smiled politely. "I'm not sure what that means psychologically, but do you remember when you blew up your jacket like a balloon when we were in the sewer pipe?"

"Yeah, I do that all the time."

"Can you please do it now?"

"Okey dokey, smokey!" Ed blew up his jacket again, it resembling a blimp this time.

"Thank you!" called Double D, floating upwards.

"Well," smiled Ezra, "it looks like you've got everything under cover. We're gonna relax in the lamp. Where is it, again?"

"Under my hat," reminded Double D.

The ghosts all flew under. "This is what's under there? I figured it would be more shocking."

"This isn't shocking to you?" gasped Gus. "What a freak."

Nazz opened her window to see Double D flying outside. "Double D?"

"I wanted to apologize to you, Nazz. I didn't mean to lie about the..." he shuddered, "frat boys."

"Well," shrugged Nazz, "you know why I was mad."

"I do. Would a ride make it up to you?"

"A ride? On...that?"

"It's surprisingly clean," admitted Double D, "despite the fact that it's regularly worn by Ed."

"Oh. Okay." Nazz climbed on and they took off, flying over the Cul-De-Sac and the camp area.

Double D: I can show you the world

Shining, shimmering, splendid

Tell me, Nazz please, now when did

You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder

Over, sideways and under

On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world

A new fantastic point of view

No one to tell us no

Or where to go

Or say we're only dreaming

Nazz: A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew

But when I'm way up here

It's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole new world with you

Double D: Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Nazz: Unbelievable sights

Indescribable feeling

Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world

Double D: Don't you dare close your eyes

Nazz: A hundred thousand things to see

Double D: Hold your breath, it gets better

Nazz: I'm like a shooting star

I've come so far

I can't go back to where I used to be

Double D: A whole new world

Nazz: Every turn a surprise

Double D: With new horizons to pursue

Nazz: Every moment red-letter

Both: I'll chase them anywhere

There's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you

Nazz: A whole new world

Double D: That's where we'll be

Nazz: A thrilling chase

Double D: A wondrous place

Both: For you and me

Finally, they landed on a rooftop overlooking the campus. "That was so awesome!" marveled Nazz.

Double D felt guilty. "Yes, it...it...I CAN'T LIE ANYMORE! Those WERE the Koopas! I'm an awful person and I've just ruined the series!"

Nazz stared at him in shock. "Uh...well, you told the truth eventually, right?"

Double D looked up. "You're not mad?"

"Not since you told me."

"I have a feeling that this will seem like an easy relationship..." Double D smiled.

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

Later, Double D was flying away after dropping Nazz off at her house. "Goodnight, Nazz."

"'Night."

"YES!" cheered Double D after she had closed her window. "A tad anticlimactic, but it was a success!" He sighed dreamily and drifted down on his jacket-blimp.

Suddenly as he reached the ground, the waiting Koopalings pulled the plug on it, sending the jacket-blimp fly around madly. As it came back down, the Koopas pulled Double D off and tied him up.

Bowser stood over him. "Thought you could hide your lamp from us, did you?" he asked in a sinister voice.

"Well, you can't!" yelled Roy.

Bowser glared at his son. "He knows you can't."

"Huh?"

"I was asking him a hypothetical question," explained an annoyed Bowser. "Answering it sorta ruins the impact."

"Not by much!" argued Roy.

"Yes it does!"

"No, I know where he's coming from," defended Ludwig. "Roy's just sort of adding to it, not detracting. It adds a bit more of an ironic twinge."

"I didn't understand all of that," said Roy, "but if you're on my side, I agree!"

Bowser sighed. "...let's just take him to the lava pit."

Ed was sleeping next to them. "Go, piggies!"

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

Soon, Double D was chained miles above a deep lava pit. Steam rose under him.

Larry hovered by him in the Clown Copter. "Okay, here's the rundown. We rummage through your house and personal belongings and find the lamp. Then we drop you in the lava pool. If we can't find the lamp, we come back here, THREATEN to drop you in, and then once you tell us where it is..."

"You drop me in?"

"Wrong! We...oh, wait, you're right. We drop you in. Bye." The Koopa flew away.

Double D frantically struggled. "Must...get...lamp...from...under...hat!" Suddenly,

the lamp slipped out and fell towards the lava. "Oh no!"

"Hey," Ezra said inside the lamp as it fell to the heat below, "you guys feel a draft or something?"

"I'll check the door." Phineas peeked out. "Hey, since when did the weather get so hot?"

Gus leaned out as well. "Ooh, pretty lava."

"LAVA!" cried Ezra. "We don't want a Return of Jafar ending!" Ezra made a pillow appear over the lava. The lamp safely landed on it.

"What a relief," breathed Double D. His shackles suddenly fell off the crumbling stone wall, sending him falling towards the lava as well. "HELP ME!"

"Wish for it!" called Phineas. "We can't cheat on this one!"

"Can't you just extend your pillow!" asked Double D, much closer to the lava now.

"Nope," said Gus.

"What do you mean, 'nope!'"

"Our magic can save ourselves," explained Ezra, "but we're physically unable to save you without you wishing for it!"

"FINE!" screamed Edd. "I WISH FOR YOU TO SAVE ME!"

"Cool," said Gus. They stretched the pillow out, catching Double D.

"Thank you," he said, sighing with relief again.

Ezra smiled. "Aww, we had to save you, right?"

"You're our favorite master," said Phineas. "And...our only master."

Double D laughed.

"And he laughs at dumb jokes like that!" said Gus. "He's valuable to us!"

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

They flew back to Double D's house. "Hmm," said Double D, inspecting the damage. "The Koopas haven't trashed my room too badly."

"Well," said Ezra, "they obviously couldn't find the lamp. What a bunch of morons."

Phineas realized something. "Uh-oh...what if they went after..."

"NAZZ!"


Really wish I could have done more with the "Whole New World" song, but it really worked well as it was.
