The next morning, in the gym, Calvin, Hobbes, Jason, Marcus, Ed, and Eddy were lying around in the still-decorated gym, looking wasted. There was an excessive amount of Kool-Aid products scattered about. The boys had gone on a drinking binge after they had heard the news of the proposal.
"How could he?" moaned Eddy. "I loved Nazz, man!"
Calvin tried to stagger to his feet, but ended up falling on his bottom again. "Aw, geez. Our friend getting hitched! TO A GIRL!"
"I can't believe this..." muttered Jason.
"He even sat in on club meetings!" agreed Marcus.
"I'm proud of him, guys," Hobbes said in a slightly slurred manner. "And you should, too. I need more Kool-Aid."
"We're out," called Calvin, weakly.
"Then I'll use the powder!" Hobbes headed over to a pile of red powder and gathered it in his paws.
Before he could inhale, Jason lunged for the cat and knocked the powder away. "No, man! Don't turn to the powder!"
"I'll do what I want! Eye of the tiger!" Hobbes gave up a second later and collapsed.
"I wish Double D would marry Sarah," mused Ed. "Then we could be in-laws!"
Calvin shuddered. "Sarah? Ewww. But that gets me thinking. Nazz is a girl."
"Duh," grumbled Eddy.
"But there are worse girls he could have chosen," continued Calvin, who seemed to be sobering up. "Like Lucy. Or Susie. But Nazz is pretty cool, for a girl. I say we help with the wedding. It's the least we can do for our friends."
Eddy nodded. "Hey, he's still our pal. Forget Nazz. This is for Double D!"
"Yeah!" cheered Ed. "I'll bring some rice!"
"I'll invite everyone via Foxspace!" cried Jason.
Hobbes rolled his eyes. "You still have that Internet scam?"
"Of course! Why do you think I wouldn't?"
"Because you usually stick with one thing for about a week," shrugged Hobbes.
"Do not! Let's go, Marcus!"
Having now regained their senses, Jason and Marcus hopped to their feet and danced out of the room on a happy note:
We hate females, but we won't fail
A guy like him!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But not everyone had cheered up. Kevin sat by himself near the weight room. The campers weren't allowed to go inside (it would be too easy to get hurt), but Kevin really wanted to get in there right now and work out some more so he could kill Double D!
"I was in love with Nazz..." he growled to himself. "I should have had her! Why's she going after some dork instead of me?"
"Yeah," called Marie from inside the weight room, "he should be MY dork!"
Kevin looked up suspiciously. "Have you been listening to me?"
"What's it to ya?"
"Uh...we're not allowed in there, you know."
Marie shrugged. "I don't care. What are they gonna do, flog me? Now, grab some weights. You gotta let your anger out."
Breaking the rules, Kevin joined Marie in the weight room and started working out.
"I hate Double D," grumbled Kevin.
"I hate Nazz," Marie grumbled back.
"They're actually getting married."
"They ain't married yet. Wanna do something about it?"
"Yeah," smiled Kevin. "I think I do."
Before they could make a plot, Jason walked over. "Hey, friends, I noticed when sending out invitations that you two don't have Foxspaces! Just sign here to get..."
They tried to punch him, only for their hands to pass through the boy's body and make it flicker. "By this time," Jason continued, "you will have realized that I'm just a hologram. The real salesmen is behind you. Hopefully hearing us twice will convince you better."
Marcus approached from the other side. "Hey, friends..." He got punched for real. "Next time, I wanna be the hologram."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Double D sat in a closet in the main room getting ready. The Ghostmasters were with him as well.
"Good lord, what am I doing?" cried Double D. "I proposed to a girl! We're too young! What will our parents say?"
"You know what you need?" grinned Boo. "Another arrow."
"Another what?"
When Double D wasn't looking, Wendell shoved a love arrow up his rear. Immediately, Double D brightened up. "Happy day! I'm getting married!"
Boo smiled. "All better."
"Something's not right here," murmured Quivers.
"Are you having a moral dilemma?" asked Wendell.
"No, his outfit's all wrong."
Double D looked at himself. He was wearing what he always was. "Oh dear, it is! I can't get married looking like this!"
"Don't worry," Boo assured him. "I bet the girls will swarm you in a second. You'll be fine."
"I suppose I should thank you for this...I really don't know what to say."
"Think nothing!" laughed Boo. "Knowing we've done good is all we need!"
"Let's get some good seats for the wedding," suggested Wendell.
However, just as the ghosts left Double D, they were stopped by a certain trio of Hitchhikers that had been waiting outside the closet.
"NOT SO FAST!" growled Ezra. "We got our invitations on our Foxspaces and we're appalled at this! There are so many things wrong with the setting, I don't know where to start!"
"What a hypocrite," remarked Wendell. "Double D told us about how you tried to help him get Nazz that one time. And failed, I might add."
"That's different!" argued Phineas. "We were helping him get a date! Not a bride!"
Quivers tried to keep peace. "Uh, maybe if we'd look at the big picture of things..."
"Don't give us that crap!" hissed Gus. "Friendly time is over!"
Ezra nodded. "Time for a reprise, boys."
Ghosts: You are so insane
We all must complain
And 'cause we feel like it, it's all in song
Now, we ain't uptight we don't know if we're right
Ezra: Cause we're smarter
Gus: And tougher
Wendell: But we're stronger
Boo: And rougher
Quivers: I'm the sidelines
Phineas: They're MY lines
All: We only know we're right and you are wrong!
On that note, the Ghostmaster gang dropped a large glowing safe on the Hitchhikers. Ezra was naturally taken aback. "What the...?! You dropped a safe on us!"
"I figured you'd appreciate the slapstick," sneered Boo.
"He's right. I'm loving it," said Phineas. "Hey, Ezra, I think these guys really ARE stronger than us."
"This really sucks," sighed Gus.
Wendell cheerfully waved to the trapped trio. "Well, we've got a wedding to attend to."
"Yeah," said Quivers, "sounds like they're all getting ready!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indeed, at that moment, Calvin was showing Susie what they had done with the gym. It would be perfect for a wedding!
"Calvin," Susie gasped in awe, "this is amazing! How did you do this?"
"What, the pink? Don't ask. Look, can me and Hobbes make a few more tiny changes before the ceremony?"
"I don't see why not..." said Susie.
"Perfect!" cried Calvin, shoving Susie out of the gym. This would be great! Of course, the pink, hearts, and virtually everything would have to go. They had a lot of work ahead of them.
(To the tune of "The Wedding Song" from Corpse Bride)
Calvin: Wedding, a wedding, we're going to have a wedding
Kids: Wedding, a wedding, we're going to have a wedding...
Double D peeked out of the closet when he heard the singing. What was going on? Suddenly, Lucy grabbed him and roughly held him down in a chair. "Hold it, Double D! We've got to fix you up!"
Immediately, Patty, Violet, Sally, Sarah, and Jimmy were upon him, armed with a fancy suit.
Girls (and Jimmy): We know that you are in a flux
So luckily, we have a tux
Well, not a tux but just as close
We'll have you looking lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely,
Lovely, lovely, we suppose
We've got some string and something else we can't identify
But a warning to you right now that you are sweet but if you cheat
We'll find and beat you with a cleat you'll be a dead meat guy
But don't be scared, because we know
You're probably a bride's best go
In comparison to others, you're the highlight of the show
You're the highlight of the show
Ezra, Phineas, and Gus: A wedding, we've gotta stop...
(Calvin, Hobbes, Jason, and Marcus are redecorating the gym)
Calvin: I really hate to decorate
It's too cute for my taste
Jason: It's tacky Las Vegas at best
Marcus: And that seems like a waste
(Hobbes picks up a fish)
Hobbes: I'm sorry guys, I need a break
I think I'll eat a bit
(Hobbes trips and splatters fish on the wall)
Jason: Watch it!
Hobbes: Sorry
Marcus: Wait a minute...that's it!
Calvin: A little grim
Hobbes: A little dark
Jason and Marcus: Weird creepy stuff is our mark
(They start flinging paint and fish everywhere)
Jason, Marcus, Calvin, and Hobbes: A wedding, a wedding
We're going to have a wedding!
Ed and Eddy: Oh yeah! Oh yeah! We're going to have a wedding
Hurray! A wedding! Hurray!
Let's all give out a cheer cause our buddy's getting married today!
Hurray!
One thing you can surely say is we'll dress up and then
With lots of pride we'll stand beside our friend as his best men
Our Double D, our Double D, our favorite Double D
Oh yeah! Hurray! Oh yeah! Hurray!
Our friend is getting married today
Jimmy stepped out of the girls' bathroom. Suddenly, everyone was gathered around to see the bride. "Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you...Nazz!"
Kids: Ohhhhhh...the bride's a sight
A vision of beauty all dressed up in white
And though she won't say much
She's singing inside
The bride is here
Here comes the bride
The bride
The bride..our bride
She's reached the moment that is just like heaven
Some wait till they're thirty, she's just passed eleven
To make it the perfect day she's always dreamed
She's arrived in silence but we all know that
She's singing inside
Our bride, our lovely bride
They'll be "Mrs." and "Mr.," no longer just "her" and "him"
And we're prepared to party and for bringing down the gym
Open the doors
Carpet the floors
Boo, Wendell, and Quivers: It's time!
Kids: Here comes the bride
And the groom's also on his way
Here in our summer camp, oh what a day!
I love the scene where the guys are all "wasted." Other than that, I really don't have much to say on this one.
