White fluffy clouds floated above a cornfield in Jimmy's dream.
"Good day world!" The boy cried happily, skipping through the corn in his pajamas, "La la la la la la la…" As Jimmy was singing, his stuffed teddy bear Mr. Yum Yum skipped up and held his hand. Jimmy smiled as another stuffed animal, this one a rabbit, skipped up and took his other hand. Jimmy giggled. A butterfly flew by and lifted Jimmy's hat off, revealing his messy hair, "Who's there?" No problem, as two birds fly overhead with a brush and comb and fix his hair.
"I'm so awesome!" Jimmy said. The group skipped up to a railroad with a toy caterpillar instead of a train. Jimmy climbed up a set of stairs and hopped on the caterpillar. He rode off as a train whistle sounded, waving goodbye to his friends. He rode by the sun.
"Good day, Jimmy!" It said.
"Good day, Mr. Sun!" Jimmy waved as he rode by through a field of lollypops, "Goody goody goody!" Jimmy snatched up a lollypop and licked it, smiling. He rode by Nazz, Rolf, Bella, and Kevin sitting on a piece of pie surrounded by cake and ice cream. Nazz and Bella were each wearing pretty dresses, Kevin didn't have a shirt, and Rolf had on...something.
"Salutations, fellow children of the cul-de-sac!" Jimmy greeted.
"Buongiorno, Jimmy!" Bella waved. Felice popped out of the pie and waved with her paw.
"Felicitations to you too, dear Jimmy!" Kevin called.
"Your cowlick looks so divine today, Jimmy!" Nazz complemented.
"Rolf has much admiration for he who can lick a cow!" Rolf said strangely.
"A compliment, I'm sure," Jimmy said, "Sorry to say, I'm on my way!" He waved goodbye, "Toodle-oo!"
"I like rhymes!" Bella giggled.
"Ta-ta!" Nazz waved with the others.
"Cheerio!" Kevin called.
"Later alligator!" Rolf said.
Jimmy stopped at a place made of cake called 'Last Stop.' He gets off the caterpillar. He pats its head.
"Nice riding you, Mr. Caterpillar," Jimmy said. He walked over to a doll that was spanking all three Eds, "Hi-de-hi, cul-de-sac castaways! I see Dolly No-No-" The doll spanked the Eds, "Is keeping you from wreaking havoc on this fine day!" The arm hit them again.
"Havoc?" Eddy said, "Like the fish!"
"That's haddock, Eddy," Edd said as the arm hit them.
"My bottom's got a haddock!" Ed said happily as the arm hit them again.
"You three are so kooky!" Jimmy said. He snapped his fingers and butterfly wings bloomed from his back and he flew off.
"Darn it, I love his cowlick," Eddy said.
Jimmy flew through a field of sweets and rainbows to the cul-de-sac. He landed.
"There she is!" Jimmy said, pointing at Sarah, who was coming towards him. Each step made flowers blossom from where she stood, "My amber-haired angel. My pummeling protector!" Sarah and Jimmy skipped towards each other, hearts floating around their heads. Before they reached each other, however, a huge metal saw dropped from the sky, slicing through the ground, making Jimmy's wings fall off. The sky turned dark and gloomy as another dropped. A hurricane began as the saws began circling the cul-de-sac, cutting it away from the rest of the world. Jimmy was on the other side, while Sarah was still in the cul-de-sac.
"HELP, JIMMY!" Sarah screamed, running over to the edge. A huge ravine was where the giant saw had been. Jimmy ran over and tried to jump across but just missed, grabbing onto a root sticking out of the dirt.
"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Jimmy yelled, "AAHH!"
"Jimmy!" Sarah cried, looking over the edge at Jimmy, who was clinging to the root.
"Sarah?" Jimmy said, then pointed behind her, "ROBOT WIGGLY! ROBOT WIGGLY!" Sarah looked around as a spiked robot tentacle went to wrap around her head, but she dodged just in time. It was connected to two more, which curved into a claw shape around her.
"Help me, Jimmy!" Sarah shouted. The wiggly tentacles turned into hard metal claws which pierced the ground. Two more sets on other sides of the cul-de-sac did the same, and they began to lift the cul-de-sac up. Jimmy could barely hold on.
"AHH, SARAH, SARAH, AHH!" Jimmy screamed. Sarah rushed over and held her hand out.
"Take my hand, Jimmy!" She yelled.
"I'm trying, Sarah!" Jimmy yelled, "I can't reach you!" Jimmy's fingers were slipping one by one from the root and he fell.
"JIIIIIIMMMMMMYYYYY!" Sarah yelled.
"SAAAARRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH…"
"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Jimmy woke up screaming in his bed and sweating. He got up and looked out the window. It was a peaceful winter day outside. Sarah was leaning against Jimmy's door frame, dressed in her winter clothes.
"Boy, I thought you'd never wake up," She said. Jimmy ran forward and hugged her.
"Oh Sarah!" Jimmy cried, "What a horrible dream! These horrible mechanical pincers fell from the sky, all wiggly like, and snatched you away!" Sarah smiled knowingly. She pushed Jimmy off of her and sat him on his bed.
"How many Belly Bomb Bon-Bons did you eat before bed, mister?" She asked, "You know they give you nightmares."
"Maybe one," Jimmy said, "Or two."
One or two boxes, maybe, as Sarah pulled out an empty box from under his bed. She showed him.
"Uh, ok, guilty as charged," Jimmy said, "I'm a piggy." The two started laughing loudly. After Jimmy got dressed, they walked downstairs. Jimmy was skipping just like in his dream and going, "La la la la la la la." He hummed happily as he pulled on his winter clothes. Sarah opened the door and headed outside.
"Oh look," Jimmy said, spotting something in the mail on the floor, "A postcard. I love post-" He turned it over to see a field just like the one in his dream.
It flashed between black and white and color. The saws dropped from the sky.
The claws gripped the ground around Sarah.
She reached over the side.
"Take my hand!"
Jimmy was falling.
"JIIIIIIMMMMMMYYYYY!"
Jimmy shook as he stood in the doorway. Sarah looked at him, bored.
"Jimmy?" She said. The card slipped out of Jimmy's hands, falling to the ground. She pulled him outside, "Boy, you sure are acting weird today." Jimmy slipped on a frozen puddle.
"Owie, Sarah!"
Meanwhile, Jonny was shifting through a garbage can. Plank was on a box next to it with a tin can on his head. Jonny popped out with a tire full of old junk.
"Right on!" Jonny said, "Wait till everybody sees our happening harvest hats at the Sadie Hawkins dance!" He put the tire on his head, "What do we need now, buddy?" He listened to Plank and then looked confused, "What the heck's a rutabaga? I bet you Rolf has one of those things!" He ran over to Rolf's house and was at the back fence, "He's kinda nutty that way." He was about to climb over the fence when a green light shone from Rolf's house. He fell over the fence and stood up with Plank in his hand.
"Hey Rolf!" Jonny said, "Whatcha doing?" Jonny started walking towards the house. The light shone even brighter.
Sarah fell backwards in the snow.
"Come on, Jimmy," She said, "Snow angels are fun!" She started making a snow angel. Some ice fell on her face as Jimmy, looking mesmerized, was carving out a giant ice claw like from his dream.
"Robot claws," He said, "From the sky. They're coming. To take us away." Sarah snatched the mallet and nail from Jimmy.
"Get over it, will ya?" She said, "It was just a dream."
"I can't control myself, Sarah!" Jimmy sobbed onto her shoulder, "It seems so real! As though it actually happened!"
"Well that's just plain stupid, silly," Sarah said.
"I feel so icky, Sarah!" Jimmy said. The two walked away.
Meanwhile, in Edd's house, Edd was tutoring Eddy. Edd was apparently teaching math while Eddy sat at a desk, bored.
"-wire a susceptible brain," Edd was saying, "Therefore an integer of four added into the equation, yields a much more readily decipherable hot potato. Knowing Q is a constant, we can deduce that P is equal to seventy-two. Any questions, Eddy?" Edd turned back to see Eddy's empty chair, which had a set of mechanical teeth with a pencil attached, going across the table, "Eddy?"
Eddy was at the window, watching Jonny freak out outside.
"Check it out, sockhead," Eddy said. Edd walked over, "Inflatohead's busting an artery!" Eddy laughed, "What an idiot!"
"You gotta believe me, guys!" Jonny said, his face head, "We're all dead ducks! DEAD DUCKS I TELL YA!"
"Dude, harsh sunburn," Nazz said, looking at Jonny's face. She pulled out some lotion, "You need some aloe vera."
Edd and Eddy were now outside, as well as Bella, who had a book tucked under her arm. Felice was following her.
"HEY!" She yelled, "How am I supposed to get any reading done with all this noise out here?!"
"Pardon me," Edd spoke up, "If it's not too much to ask, could you please keep your voices down? Eddy's tutoring requires-"
Jonny interrupted him.
"You'll believe me!" He said, grabbing Edd around the waist, "There's flesh eating aliens invading Rolf's house, Double D! He said so! He did!"
"Well this is gonna be good," Eddy said, pulling out two lawn chairs and a thermos. He sat down in one lawn chair and offered the other to Bella, who sat down.
"Flesh eating aliens, huh?" Kevin said, "Shyeah, right! And I got a Russian plate twirling team camping out in my backyard."
He, Sarah, and Nazz laughed. Jonny looked at Plank.
"They don't believe us, buddy!" Jonny cried, shaking Edd, "They don't believe us!"
"I believe you, Jonny!" Jimmy said, walking forward. Nazz giggled and Kevin and Eddy snickered. Eddy poured out hot chocolate from the thermos. Sarah laughed along nervously and dragged Jimmy back over.
"Oh Jimmy, you're such a kidder!" She laughed, then whispered in Jimmy's ear, "What the heck's wrong with you? Get real, Jimmy."
"I have never been more real in all my life, Sarah!" Jimmy said, escaping her grasp and walking back over to Jonny, "My dream has come true! Giant blades will fall, slicing through the Earth like a deep dish flan!" He jumped in the air, "IT'S THE END OF HUMANITY!"
Bella was quickly writing in a pad of paper.
"This is making for an awesome story!" She said, looking up. She was writing down everything the kids were saying and doing, for ideas. Jimmy fell and sighed, landing back in Sarah's arms.
"Sweet!" Eddy laughed at the scene.
"Tense," Nazz said, looking at Jimmy.
"Gimmie a break," Kevin said, rolling his eyes.
"Oh come on," Eddy said to Bella, "You can't go get me some marshmallows?"
"I'm not missing a second of this!" She said, jotting it down, "Inspiration is off the charts here, man!"
"WHERE'S MY STUPID BROTHER?!" Sarah yelled, causing Eddy to dump the cup of hot chocolate on himself.
"Oh, good idea," Bella said, tucking her pencils behind her cat ear, somehow, "This stuff is right up his alley. Not to mention every story needs the lovable idiot."
"He did leave this note on his bedroom door this morning," Edd said, pulling out a roll of toilet paper with one or two squares.
"Let me see!" Sarah said, snatching it from him. She read it aloud, "'At Rolf's, Needs Help…'"
Bella was looking over her shoulder and writing down what the note said.
"Dude, aliens or not, something's seriously up," Nazz said, walking forward.
"Don't you think you're blowing this out of proportions just a little?" Edd asked, "Ed's no doubt assisting Rolf with some farmyard duties. It wouldn't be the first time."
"OR MAYBE-" Jonny began, jumping it Edd's face, "HE'S HELPING ROLF FIGHT OFF THOSE ALIENS AS WE SPEAK!"
"Yo, put an end to it and just go check his house out already," Kevin said. Everyone turned to look at him. They grabbed him and rushed towards Rolf's house.
"Seguire, Felice," Bella said, "We have some exploring to do."
"'The group arrived at [his] house, which was barren of snow in a perfect circle around it," Bella said as she wrote, "Strange. Puddles lay here and there across the wet grass.'"
"Well, it hardly appears to be the stronghold of some alien encroachment now, does it?" Edd asked, walking forward into the area cleared of snow.
"'The doubter walked forward, about to realize how wrong he was'," Bella said, scribbling quickly. Edd started sweating under his warm coat.
"Goodness, is it me, or is it suddenly becoming unbearable warm?" Edd asked, unzipping his coat.
"'...hotter than the stove'," Bella wrote.
"Man, I'm frying like an egg over here!" Eddy said, pulling off his shirt and coat. Bella looked up and blushed slightly before quickly writing more. She flipped over to the next blank page. Edd walked over to the edge.
"Strange," He said, "How could the land temperature change so drastically from one area to the next?"
He watched as the mailbox burst open, steaming.
"See? I told ya!" Jonny said. They all looked at the house-
"'-as a strange noise began to come from it'," Bella said. Suddenly, a giant green ball of something BURST out of the chimney- "'Making its way towards the park!'"
It exploded as it hit the ground.
"Holy mac-" Before Sarah could finish, the dust and force pushed them back, making them all cling to the lamp pole, and in Eddy's case, smack head-first into it. Kevin was the only one standing, and Edd was against the mailbox, looking through binoculars at the object.
"The playground!" Edd said, getting down and pulling out his coat.
"Follow me!" Kevin said, running towards the park. Edd did so, as did Bella and Felice.
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Bella said, "I'm gonna be famous with this!"
At the park…
"'The kids slowly approached the unidentified flying object, which had lodged itself deep into the Earth's crust," Bella narrated, "It glowed eerily green, green steam billowing from the many holes. It looked like-'"
"A meteor?" Bella suggested as herself, looking up, "Or a big wheel of cheese."
"What in Heaven's name is that?" Edd asked, holding his nose.
"Whatever is it, it reeks," Kevin said.
"Yeah, like…" Bella thought and her eyes widened, "57 day old cheese…"
Felice meowed, covered her nose with her paws.
"I dunno, it COULD be Sheldon's dad," Bella joked. Suddenly, a hand came out of the meteor/wheel of cheese- "Covered in a icky green goo!"
Nazz screamed loudly and ran around, causing the others to do so, too. Only Kevin stayed at the crater, looking down at the meteor and whatever had just come out of it. It had been split in half, and was no longer pulsing and glowing.
"It hatched, man!" Kevin yelled, running off and hiding like the others.
"Wait, but I need a description of what it looks like, now!" Bella said, looking out from behind the tire swing bars. Eddy pulled her back in as Edd oiled the squeaking tire chain. The three of them looked out. Felice as at Bella's feet. Eddy looked at the exit.
"Let's make a break for it," Eddy said quietly. Eddy, Bella, and Edd ran for the gate, Eddy holding Edd up in front of them and Felice staying close behind. They passed by the crater, and Bella couldn't help but look. Suddenly, they crashed into a being, dripping in the goo from the meteor. The three of them screamed and backed up. Eddy peered closely at the figure.
"Ed?" He said.
"What?!" Bella cried, jumping out from behind Edd and starting to write, "Oh mio Dio, epic plot twist!"
Ed was shivering in the cold. He was only in his underwear and had red marks on his cheeks.
"Squeezed, cheeks pinched," Ed muttered, "Ribs prodded. Grizzly faced beings that smell like moth balls!"
He fell back, shaking the last of the goo off of him.
"I am so pooped," He said. The others looked at him from above.
"The aliens experimented on Ed!" Jonny cried. Ed pulled himself up using Jonny's head.
"Protect yourself, large noggined one!" Ed warned. He jumped on Jonny's head and started squishing it with his feet, "As they will use you as an ottoman for their scaly feet!"
"NO!" Jonny cried, throwing Ed off, "Not the ottoman!"
"That's it!" Kevin said, pulling a soap box out of nowhere and standing on it.
"'He said, standing up on the nearby soap box'," Bella wrote.
"We're storming that house!" Kevin said, pointing at Rolf's house.
"Hold the phone!" Eddy said angrily, stomping forward, "Who made you commander in chump, boxhead?"
"Oh, I guess you want to go in the house first, huh, dorky?" Kevin asked. Eddy looked past him at the house-
"'-still oozing green goo and steam from the chimney'," Bella said. Eddy looked at it fearfully and backed up.
"Kev, the leader," Eddy said nervously, "Great idea."
Eddy hid behind Edd.
"I'll research Ed's tawdry extraterrestrial material," Edd volunteered, "There may be vital clues on how to deal with the alien insurgency."
"Ok, but when you get back, tell me everything that happened!" Bella called, "Leave out no detail!"
Kevin flicked a toothpick into his mouth and looked at the kids. He motioned for them to come along. They followed like a flock of sheep to his house.
Meanwhile, Edd was looking through Ed's comic book collection, writing down notes.
"Square Dancers From The Outer Reaches," Edd read a title, "Colorful." He grabbed another, "Attack Of The Space Nose Miners? Deviating." He grabbed a third one, "Inappropriate Pinchers From Beyond?" Bingo. He started looking through it, "Heat vision? Restrictuesprobians are known to produce elevated temperatures of heat!"
He wrote heat vision on his own note pad and circled it. He drew lines to the other three circles.
"Coincidence?" He asked himself, when suddenly he heard a strange noise. He looked around in fear, "Hello?"
The noises escalated and he begun to panic. He pulled on his coat and snatched up the comics, crawling out the window as fast as he could, and ended up tearing it on the edge.
"Oh for goodness sake," He said, just as a loud roar was heard from Ed's room. Edd jumped up and ran off to his house.
After going to his house, he went to Kevin's house, dragging a cooler behind him. Inside, he could hear Ed talking.
"And then the squishy aliens grabbed me, pulling me towards the pot of stew I knew would be my doom!" Ed said, "But I was too fast and escaped through the chimney! They clawed at me, trying to stop me, but no use!"
Edd knocked on the door and the chatter ceased. Ed looked out the little window in the door.
"Password?" Ed asked.
"Password?" Edd repeated, confused, "I wasn't informed of any password." Ed closed the little window, "Hello?"
Suddenly, Ed burst through the door, knocking Edd to the ground.
"I see through your disguises, creature from beyond the stars!" Ed said, starting to pull at Edd's face. Bella looked through the door, her note pad and pencil in her hand.
"Ed!" Edd cried, his voice muffled slightly, "It's me! Double-" Ed pulled on his mouth, "Deeee!"
Ed paused and looked at Edd. Good enough for him. He scooped Edd up in a hug.
"Double D!" Ed said happily, "You're alive!"
He brought Edd inside and shut the door, putting a wooden board in front of it, but ending up getting his hands stuck. He tried to pulled them free as Edd hung his coat up.
"Doppio D, you have to tell me everything!" Bella said quickly, walking up excitedly. She looked at his notes, "What'd you find out, how, in what order; I need details!"
"In a moment, Bella," He said, taking his notes back. Kevin was explaining the plan of attack. Bella sulked and looked at Kevin.
"-while the alpha team circles the perimeter, here," He was saying, "And hooks up with the omega team, here. That's when we take 'em." He turned around to look at the others, who were all sitting in their own chairs, "Any questions?"
"Yawn!" Eddy said loudly. Jimmy, who was sitting on a wooden box, raising his hand.
"Jimmy," Kevin called on him. Jimmy lunged forward, wrapping his arms around Kevin.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" Jimmy repeated, and started kissing Kevin's feet like a groveling fan. Kevin looked at him.
"Right," He said, "Start building your weapons." He walked over to Edd, "Double D, what'd you find out, man?"
"My information gathering points to the aliens dispersing heat through, um," Edd handed his notes to Kevin, "Their vision."
Ed looked over, finally freeing his hand from the wooden board.
"Heat vision, huh?" Kevin said, looking at Ed. Edd walked over to the cooler he had brought with him.
"With that," He began, opening the cooler, "I took the liberty of developing a sub-zero battle suit, which should effectively protect us from their detonation of heat."
He pulled out a suit made of items commonly found in the freezer and put it on Ed.
"Nice," Kevin said.
"Great idea, Doppio D!" Bella smiled.
"Jimmy, curlers don't count as weapons!" Kevin said, walking over to Jimmy. Eddy walked over with a hose and handed it to Ed.
"Hold this," He said, walking off. Suddenly, the hose started sucking Ed in, like a vacuum. Both Felice and Bella hissed.
"Do it again!" Ed laughed.
"See?!" Bella said the Edd, "I told you vacuums were dangerous! And you didn't believe me!"
Eddy smiled excitedly as he looked at Ed in a glass container attached to the hose.
"Eddy, I'm a tad suspect that this will provide you adequate defense."
"Defense, shmefence!" Eddy said, "I'm gonna be swimming in moolah! Once I bag me one of those aliens, I'll be famous!"
The glass container was also connected to a backpack, which Eddy put on.
"So am I, once I get his published!" Bella said, smiling widely, "Rich AND famous!"
"Well, just let Ed out when you're done, then," Edd said, walking off.
"Pull my finger, Eddy," Ed said as he farted.
Kevin was putting together his weapon. He looked at Jonny.
"Ready?" Kevin asked. Jonny pulled out ketchup and mustard bottles and squirted them at the wall, then on his tongue.
"Ready!" He said, "Right, buddy?"
"Ready," Nazz said, brushing her hair in front of a hand mirror, "Almost."
"Don't look at the writer, don't look at the writer," Ed said.
"Ready," Jimmy said, shaking and holding a tennis racket in front of him.
"This stink juice will burn their nostrils off!" Sarah said, holding a bottle of perfume.
"But Sarah, you said you loved my homemade dandelion perfume!" Jimmy said, offended. Sarah nervously held it behind her back.
"But the aliens might not," Bella stepped in, "They might think dandelions smell as hideous as old stinky cheese. Besides, perfume in your eyes stings like heck, am I right?"
"Well, I guess so," Jimmy said slowly.
"It is here, dear friends," Edd began in the front of the room, "On the threshold of fate, where we stare into the gaping mouth of uncertainty. In this, our darkest hour, I wish to express my-"
Kevin cut him off.
"Alright," He said, shoving him aside.
"That was amazing, Doppio D," Bella said, helping him up, "Ever think of taking up a career in writing?"
"Listen up!" Kevin announced, "These space dweebs made a big mistake, invading our neighborhood, and taking our pal! What say we give 'em a good ol' Peach Creek welcome?"
The kids cheered loudly.
"Let's DO THIS!" Kevin said, kicking the door open, "We're coming for ya, Rolfy-boy!"
"'They arrived at the house in question, the smoke billowing out seeming to have multiplied in their absence'," Bella narrated.
Kevin hid behind the car parked out front. The other kids hurried to find a hiding spot as Kevin moved to the bush. Jonny slipped on an ice puddle and Jimmy jumped into the mailbox. Sarah was hiding behind the light pole. Bella and the Eds hid behind the car when someone whistled. Edd looked out and over at Kevin, who making hand signals, though no one knew what they meant. Sarah sneaked forward and uncapped the dandelion perfume. She opened the window and threw it inside.
"Take a whiff of this, you bad aliens!" Sarah yelled. She ran back, "I did it, Jimmy!"
Suddenly, the bottle flew back out, landing on Sarah's head and covering her eyes and nose. She cried out in pain and fell down.
"They got me!" She shouted. Everyone looked shocked.
"Ed is coming, baby sister!" Ed yelled, running out from behind the car. Edd, Eddy, and Bella followed. Felice stayed under the car.
"Ed, wait!" Eddy cried, grabbing his friends and pulling them back. He threw them on the ground, "Are you nuts?! Those aliens will suck your brain out!"
"What brain?" Bella mumbled, rubbing her head.
Eddy looked out from behind the car and at Jimmy in the mailbox. He pulled the mailbox back and let go, flinging Jimmy out into the yard on top of Sarah. He pulled her back, dazed. Kevin whistled again and pointed at Jonny. Jonny climbed up on the roof and set Plank against the chimney.
"Watch my back, Plank," Jonny said. Condiments at the ready, he jumped head first into the chimney, his big head getting caught, "Let's dance, aliens!"
He kept squirting the ketchup and mustard, but it only ended up on poor Plank. Since the steam had nowhere to go, it built up in the chimney until it exploded, puffing into Jonny's mouth and in turn out his ears. Jonny deflated and Eddy watched, laughing quietly.
"It isn't funny, Eddy," Edd said.
"Is kinda funny," Bella giggled, writing down what had happened.
"Look alive," Kevin said quietly, running over and handing his weapon to Edd, "Cover me."
He ran forward with what looked like a bowling ball shooter. He pulled Ed along, who had a trashcan full of bowling balls with him.
"You, come with me," Kevin said. Eddy slowly opened the car door and slinked inside. Bella followed and closed the door, "Eat this, outer space freaks. Feed me some ammo, dorko!"
Ed was about two or three feet behind, shaking in fear and covering his eyes.
"Move it!" Kevin snapped. Ed panicked and held the trash can up.
"GO BACK FROM WHENCE YOU CAME, ALIENS FROM THE UNKNOWN!" Ed shouted, throwing all the bowling balls forward. Unfortunately, they all rolled to the sides of the house and passed it, "GUTTERBALL!"
Kevin growled and Edd walked up to Ed.
"I hope you know you're going to pick those up," Edd said.
"You guys are useless!" Kevin shouted angrily. Everyone looked at him. He started walking off, "Everybody's on their own, I've had it."
Jimmy threw himself at Kevin's feet.
"My dream!" Jimmy cried, "We'll be sucked up into the sky!"
"Chill out, Kevin!" Nazz said, running up.
"Yeah!" Sarah agreed, joining them, "We gotta get Rolf out of that house!"
"Issue fourteen, Zombie Aliens From Planet Rhubark, states 'more than often it is required to bait said aliens with a human female to lure potential flesh consuming extraterrestrials from their lair'," Ed said. Edd began looking through his notes.
"That's so dumb," Nazz said as everyone looked at her. She looked slightly shocked.
"'The kids had dressed her up in a beautiful pink dress, a large white bow tied on her head'," Bella narrated as she wrote, "'Tied to two poles, she struggled to escape, but it was no use.'" Bella looked up at Nazz, "Oh, why her? One of my migliori amici…"
"Dearest Nazz," Edd said as he walked up to her, "Find it in your heart to forgive me. Maybe it's best to think of it as a selfless act to save-"
Nazz smacked him, knocking him back to the bush. The street light flickered out as a green light shone from the windows. Nazz tried harder to escape, but the ropes held tight. Eddy and Bella were watching fearfully from the car. Ed rose up next to them. Suddenly, the green lights shut off. A squid-looking creature peered from behind the curtains before opening the door. The green light shone again, revealing a floating squid with large eyes, dripping in ooze. Kevin prepared to shoot. He looked at the window. More squids.
"Woah," He said.
"There's so many of them," Eddy said fearfully before holding up his vacuum device with money signs in his eyes, "I'm gonna be super rich!"
In the back seat, Ed buckled up in a baby seat.
"Wait, what?!" Bella cried.
"PLEASE, DON'T EAT ME!" Nazz cried. The kids started screaming. Eddy jumped out of the car.
"Seven figure bracket, here I come!" He yelled happily.
"EDDY, WAIT!" Bella screamed, falling face first out of the car. She pushed herself off the ground, "DON'T!"
The light inside the house turned on, revealing Rolf with a squid on his head.
"Hello, fellow neighborhood nothings!" Rolf greeted happily.
"Rolf?" Nazz spoke. Ed got out of the car.
"Geronimo!" Eddy yelled as he stuck the hose in Rolf's belly button before realizing.
"Oh ho ho!" Rolf said, "You have come to join the celebration."
"Celebration?" Jimmy and Sarah said together, their arms wrapped around each other.
"You ain't an alien from outer space," Eddy said, pulling the hose out and flinging Rolf behind him into the yard. Eddy looked inside. Rolf grabbed Kevin's hat and started fanning himself with it.
"Rolf's skin weeps with tears of impurity, as his relatives turned the furnace up to high," Rolf sighed.
"That's what he said, buddy," Jonny said, walking up with the others, "Relatives."
"Relatives, yes!" Rolf said, slamming the now sweaty hat back on Kevin's head, "Rolf's brood of bottomless bellies from the old country!"
Rolf waved to his family and they waved back.
"It all makes sense now!" Bella said, one arm around Eddy as she flipped through her notepad, "Why didn't I see it before?! I think the green goo threw me off."
"Of course!" Edd said, agreeing, "It does make sense now. Rolf was literally being invaded by aliens. It's just his family visiting from his native land."
"They are so other-worldly!" Ed cried fearfully.
"Great Aunt Barga and Uncle Yorick thank you for letting them use your clothes as emergency bibs, low-on-the-totem-pole
Ed boy," Rolf pulled out Ed's clothes and shook them free of the green goo.
"Come, fickle friends of the cul-de-sac!" Rolf said, plopping the squid back on his head, "Join Rolf's family in the festivities!"
"Well, this does seem like a nice ending," Bella said, smiling and ending her sentence, putting her pencil and paper pad in her pocket. They all went inside to see a projector emitting green light as it flashed pictures. Kevin quickly rushing out the door.
"Ah ha!" Everyone looked at Rolf, who was mixing a pot of something, "Rolf suspects little Cousin Bastian wants a kiss under the membrane of a yak, she-who-gives-migraines."
Sarah screamed and ran off with Jimmy. Jonny hurried after her and Eddy tried to, but Rolf grabbed him and pulled him back inside, upside down.
"Ed boy, you must stay!" Rolf said, "Nana sees the footrest potential in your flat-as-a-pancake head!" He took Bella's wrist, "And Nano would not believe Rolf when Rolf said he had a friend part feline."
"No, let me go!" Eddy cried, clawing at the floor, "I don't wanna be an ottoman!"
"Rolf, you know I don't like talking about it!" Bella said, her face red as she tried to escape Rolf's grip, "And you know how insecure I am about it!"
Ed watched in fear as Edd hung up his coat and put his shoes neatly in the closet.
"Isn't it exciting, Ed?" Edd asked, "We finally have a chance to meet Rolf's enigmatic family. Oh, the questions about their culture and strange affinity to animal by-products are endless!" He started walking into the family room, "Shall we?"
Ed snatched him back.
"No more cheek pinching for Ed, Double D!" Ed cried, running out past Nazz.
"Hello?" She said, "A little help here? Guys!"
No one noticed, but the cul-de-sac was being lifted up into the sky and deep into space by an unidentified flying object. As the page ended, only two words appeared.
The End?
