"Hmmm…interesting." Edd peered through his oversized microscope and wrote down another detail of the smashed watermelon. Meanwhile, Ed, Eddy, Sarah, and Jimmy were looking through Edd's invention cabinet. Ed pressed a button on the Opera-o-matic and laughed.
"It sounds like the sound I make when I play the violin!" He then turned his attention to the robot.
"Ed! Don't touch any- hey, look at these things!" Eddy put on a pair of elevator boots, jumped, and came crashing down to the floor.
"Idiots." Sarah muttered.
Edd stepped down from the microscope. "Well, people, I've finish going over the data, and I don't like it."
"Why not?" Sarah asked.
"Well, from the placement of the hole and the timing involved to hit Jimmy, I've come to the conclusion that someone put the watermelon up there themselves, leading to two solutions." Edd looked down at his notes. " First, someone was up there to drop the watermelon themselves, so as the watermelon was not dropped on us, it was probably intended for either Jimmy or Sarah."
Sarah looked concerned. Jimmy look downright terrified.
"Second, the tree was rigged so whoever stepped under it would get hit. This means that it was not necessarily directed at anyone."
Jimmy raised his hand. "But in that case, wouldn't you guys have gotten hit first?"
Edd scratched the back of his head. "Well, that's why I'm worried, Jimmy."
"Thanks for help, Double-D. I think me and Jimmy will go home now." Sarah started towards the door.
"Yeah, I think we'll go too." Ed and Eddy followed them.
"Well, see you later." Edd turned back to his basement desk and sat down. A falling watermelon, The Gourd? What did it all mean? He sighed and trudged upstairs.
"Oh look, alien slime!" Ed pointed to something on the ground that could only be described as, well, alien slime.
"Oh no!" Eddy screamed mockingly. "The Martians are attacking! Whatever shall we do?" He went over to the mound of mush and picked some up. "It's just some old watermelon."
"Ew, what the heck is that?" Sarah exclaimed.
"It's an alien blob that's going to consume us alive and suck out our fluids!" Ed shouted.
"What's all that noise?" Edd said as he came outside.
"It's an alien blood-sucking goop that will-" Ed said, but Edd cut him off.
"Sorry to disappoint you, Ed, but this is just rotten watermelon."
"Hmmm…watermelon." Eddy looked at the watermelon goop curiously.
"Look, there's some more over there!" Jimmy pointed to another pile of glop about twenty feet away.
"It's like some kind of trail marker." Said Edd, struggling to keep up.
"No, Wilfred!" Rolf, a kid from a far-off country that nobody could pronounce the name of, was addressing his pet pig.
"Rolf's shoe is not for eating!" For some reason, Rolf had a strange habit of addressing himself in the third person, along with giving everyone weird nicknames like "Sock-for-hat Ed boy".
"Hey Rolf, what's up?" Walking towards him was Kevin, the neighborhood jock.
"Hello, Kevin-boy. Rolf believes that the sky is what is up, yes?" Rolf finally ripped his shoe from Wilfred's grasp.
"Whatever, dude. Anyways, have you seen Nazz lately? I haven't seen here all day."
"The Nazz-girl? No, Rolf has seen nothing of her." Rolf looked out to something behind Kevin. "Rolf wonders what is causing this gathering of the young ones."
"Huh?" Kevin turned around to see Ed, Edd, Eddy, Sarah, and Jimmy surrounding something on the other side of the cul-de-sac. "What are those dorks up to this time?"
All of a sudden, Kevin saw Sarah point to something, and the group ran down the back alleyway.
"Rolf is curious." Rolf hopped over the fence. "Perhaps we should investigate, yes?"
"Whatever, dude." The pair ran across the circle, towards the alleyway.
Author's Note: ANOTHER cliffhanger? Yes, not only have I not answered the first question, but I ALSO gave you ANOTHER question to ponder. Although I suppose at least one of you will figure everything it out. Which would be a bit creepy, since my plan for Nazz is a bit, well, you'll see. Review in the meantime?
