Chapter 3: The Kids and the Rocket

Rolf was quite the surviver. He put up tents for the others. Rolf wanted to make a campfire, but he needed something to burn... a certain piece of wood... "Rolf needs piece wood with poorly drawn face on it!" Rolf said to Jonny. "No...NOT PLANK!" Jonny cried, not wanting his best friend Plank to be burned in the campfire. "Rolf must have wood!" said Rolf, grabbing Plank. Jonny grabbed Plank as well, having the two have tug of war with the piece of wood.

"Rolf needs wood!"

"Let go of my pal!"

"Rolf must burn wood!"

"You're a killer! A killer, I tell ya!"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Nazz cried. Rolf let go of Plank. "Here," said Nazz, handing Rolf some of her graded homework and worksheets. "burn these." Then Kevin handed Rolf some sticks he was planning to hit Eddy with. "Well, looks like piece of wood with poorly drawn face on it, it is safe." said Rolf. "YESSS! I thought you were going to be gone forever, Plank!" said a happy Jonny, hugging his best friend made of wood.

Meanwhile, in Dexter's Lab...

"Though it is not quite ready yet," Dexter explained to the Eds, "I need rocket fuel." "WHAT? WE'RE NOT GONNA RIDE IT?" Eddy yelled in question. "Nope. Not yet." Dexter replied. "Stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID, STUPID!" yelled Eddy in frustration. "Whoa!" Ed exclaimed. "Eddy just swore, Double D!"

"I highly doubt that, Ed. This story is aimed at children, so therfore..." Double D was suddenly cut off mid-sentence by Dexter. "The only fuel we need is..." Dexter paused. "...sweat." "That's it?" Eddy questioned. "Disgusting," Double D commented. "Reminds me of gravy," Ed said. "Um, Ed," said Double D, "in what way sweat reminds you of gravy?"

"Gravy is wet, like sweat." Ed replied in a silly way.

"I guess that KINDA makes sense," Eddy said.

Suddenly, Deedee came in the lab, breaking almost all of Dexter's inventions. "DEEDEE!" Dexter yelled angerily. He got so boiling mad, he started sweating. Double D took an empty jar and filled it will Dexter's sweat. Smoke cartoonishly came out of Dexter's ears and he pushed Deedee out of the lab, and blocked his lab with his bookcase of books...again. "I got the fuel, Dexter!" said a joyful Double D. "Success! Wait a minute... who's sweat is that?" asked a curious Dexter. "Yours, of course," replied Double D. Dexter stared at him for a minute, gave him a weird look, and then smiled and said, "Success...again!" Double D handed Dexter the jar of sweat. As he filled the rocket with the fuel, he said, "You might be as smart as me, Double D." Double smiled at this, while Eddy commented, "Yawn." The rocket was about to work, when Deedee came in the lab. "Deedee!" yelled Dexter, "what are you doing in my laboratory?"

Deedee saw the rocket he built.

"Ooooh..." exclaimed a curious Deedee. "Is that a rocket?"

"Why, yes it is. Why?" Dexter replied.

"Can I ride?" Deedee asked.

Dexter was about to say no, but he changed his mind.

"Yes, but don't touch anything." Dexter paused and said, "I'm serious."

"Hmmm...OK." Deedee replied.

Then the two siblings and the Eds entered the rocket. "Computer!" Dexter yelled. "Commence countdown!"

The computer counted down from 200.

"200, 199, 198, 197..."

The next morning, the kids woke up from their slumber from the tents in the middle of nowhere.

Rolf packed everything up for them, and put out the fire.

"Alright, Jonny-boy, Nazz-girl, and Kevin!" Rolf announced.

"It's time to go find the Ed-boys!"

"Eddy's cruisin' for a bruisin'!" Kevin said.

The kids went onward.

Later on, in Dexter's Lab...

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, two, one." Computer has finished counting down. The kids in the rocket were sleeping, and they woke up as soon as the rocket launched.

"We're finally going to space!" said an excited Eddy.

"We're gonna have an observation of the world above,"

said an excited Double D.

"Wiggle my toes, wiggle my toes," said an excited Ed, but didn't know what was going on.

"Weeeeeeee!" Deedee screamed in delight, raising her hands up in the air.

"Here we go...!" said Dexter, driving the rocket. Finally, the rocket was up in space. "Wow..." all the kids said in amazement, including Eddy and Dexter. Double D wrote notes about what he saw in space, while Ed and Eddy looked out the window, drooling. "Space is pretty amazing, isn't it?" Dexter commented.

Later, Jonny, Plank, Nazz, Kevin, and Rolf arrived at some sort of Western village.

"Whoa..." the kids said in amazement.

"Howdy, kids!" said a cowboy kid who lived in the village. The kids just stared at him. Finally, Kevin made a response: "Um, hi?"

"My name is Cowboy Joe," said the cowboy, "and welcome to The West of the West!"

Jonny(and Plank) saw some sort of catapult. "Hey, guys," Jonny said to the other kids, "there's a catapult. Maybe it will launch us to the Eds!"

"No way, dor..." Kevin thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, that's not a bad idea. High five!" Kevin gave Jonny a high five. "Hey, cowboy dude," Kevin said to Cowboy Joe, "Can we get catapulted into the sky?"

"Sure a-thing, kiddy-Os," replied Cowboy Joe, "I'll catapult ya!"

Later on, in Dexter's rocket...

"Ready to go back to Earth?" Dexter asked the Eds and his sister. They all nodded. "OK, here we go!" Dexter said driving his rocket back to Earth.

Cowboy Joe catapulted Kevin, Jonny, Plank, Nazz and Rolf into the sky, flying high in the sky.

The rocket flew down, allowing Double D to see what's out the window. "Jonny? Nazz? Rolf? KEVIN?" Double D said in surprise. The guys flew into the window of the rocket, going inside. Ed, Double D, and Eddy were suprised. So were Deedee and Dexter. "I see dorks! Lots of them!" said Kevin.
