[Nat is in her room sitting on her desk, apparently working on something.]
Nat: "Finally it's done!"
[Nat smiles]
Nat: "It may have taken a while, but I hope he likes it."
[Nat leaves her room.]
[There is a knock on Edd's door, when he opens it, it's revealed to be Nat and her smiling face.]
Nat: "Hi Double D!"
[Edd's mood lightens when he sees her.]
Edd: "Hello Nat."
Nat: "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
Edd: "Oh no, nothing relevant."
Nat: "Good! Cause I have something for you."
Edd: "Something for me?"
Nat: "Yep."
[Nat takes her arm out from behind her back, she reveals something in her hand.]
Edd: "What is this?"
Nat: "A labeler."
Edd: "Is this what you mentioned before?"
Nat: "Yeah. I'm sorry it took so long, I had to take Daddy's apart to see what it was inside and how was built, luckily I managed to put it back together."
[Nat hands Edd the labeler, he nervously takes it.]
Edd: "I greatly appreciate this Nat, but you didn't have to build this for me."
Nat: "I know, but it was the least I could do after we built that butterfly house."
[Nat then bends down and picks up a jar next to her.]
Nat: "I also found a few ants on my way here, for your collection."
[Nat gives Edd the jar.]
Edd: "Thank you Nat."
Nat: "You're welcome."
[Edd closes the door as Nat turns around and walks away, after doing so, Eddy looks around the corner with a bucket and a mischievous grin.]
[Nat goes back to her room, after doing so, she notices something.]
Nat: "Huh?"
[Nat goes to her bookshelf. She notices her books have toppled over, after picking them up, there is a gap.]
Nat: "Looks like one of my books is missing."
[Nat searches her room for the missing book. She has no such luck.]
Nat: "I wonder where it is, maybe Double D has seen it."
[Nat leaves her room. She goes to Edd's house, as she knocks on his door, there is no answer.]
Nat: "He probably went to Ed's house."
[Nat goes to Ed's house. She knocks on his door.]
Nat: "Hi Ed it's Nat can I come in?"
Ed: "Sure Nat!"
[Nat comes in and sees Eddy and Edd in Ed's arm]
Nat: "Um...am I interrupting something?"
Ed: "No not at all!"
[Nat looks confused]
Nat: "Welll I was wondering if any of you have seen my book? I couldn't find it this morning."
Ed: "No, I haven't seen it."
Edd: "I am uncertain of the location of your book."
Eddy: "Don't know, Don't care."
[A thunderous crashing is heard. All around Ed's room, things shake and fall off the walls. Sarah kicks the door open and storms up to Ed.]
Sarah: [yells in rage] WHERE IS SHEEEEEEEEE?!"
Ed: "What? Who?"
Sarah: [worried] "My dolly. Polly Poo Poo, that's who." [She leaps around the room, destroying stuff.] "I–I need my dolly."
Ed: "But Sarah, I didn't touch her."
Sarah: [leaping on Ed and fighting with him] "Liar! Don't you lie to me, you dolly stealer!"
Eddy: [strangled] "You gotta love these family moments."
Sarah: "If you don't tell me where she is, I'm gonna get really angry."
[Ed trips, and the four of them land hard on the ground, Eddy still in a headlock.]
Eddy: "Uh, Ed?"
Ed: "Yeah, Eddy?"
Eddy: "As much as I really love the smell of your stinky pits...CAN YOU LET GO OF MY HEAD NOW?"
Edd: [to Nat] "You know, someone has touched my stuff also."
Nat: "I'm sorry to hear that."
Eddy: [now out of his headlock] "Don't you see what's going on here? It's epidemical! Double D's magnifying glass, Nat's book, Sarah's doll? Someone, or something, is touching everybody's stuff. We got to spread the word! We have to warn everyone that there's a-a serial toucher on the loose!"
Nat: "How are we going to do that, Eddy?"
Eddy: [getting a scam idea] "Hey! I know just what to do!" [He laughs.]
Eddy: [using a traffic cone as a megaphone] "Attention please! Hey! Beware of the toucher! Serial toucher on the loose! Hide your stuff, hide your valuables. Serial toucher on the loose!"
Sarah: "That dirty toucher took my Dolly Poo Poo!"
Jimmy: "It's true. Won't somebody help us?" [The other kids make assenting noises.]
Eddy: "Quiet, quiet! Everyone just relax. We've got it all under control."
Kevin: "Yeah? What can you dorks do about it?"
Eddy: [shoving the megaphone in Kevin's face] "Well, we dorks are gonna solve this mystery!"
Kevin: "Ha! I'd pay money to see that."
Sarah: "Me too." [The rest of the kids make noises of agreement.]
[Eddy is pacing in front of the other two Eds and Nat. They are in the lane.]
Edd: "What do you propose we do now?"
Eddy: "Okay, boys!"
[Looks at Nat]
Eddy: "And girl."
[He starts drawing diagrams in the dirt with his shoe.] "Here's the lane, okay. We'll start here, then we'll cross the street over by the corner store..."
[Ed is laughing for some reason.]
Nat: "Ed hold still please."
Edd: "This is delicate work."
[Edd, Nat and Eddy are rigging up a device on him.]
Eddy: "There's no way the toucher can resist this." [The machine seems to consist of a "Don't Touch!" sign and a wire.] "Perfect!"
Nat: [whispering] "Someone's coming." [Edd, Nat and Eddy dive behind the bushes.]
Eddy: [whispering to a still laughing Ed] "Ed! Don't move! And stop giggling!" [Ed stops.]
Kevin: [riding up] "Dork!"
Ed: "Dork?"
Eddy: "Ssh! Ed! Somebody else is coming!"
[Jonny arrives, Plank in tow.]
Jonny: "Whatcha doin, Ed?" [receiving no response] "Oh, Ed, I'm liking your haircut." [He looks closer at it.]
Plank: "..."
Jonny: "What's that, Plank? You wanna feel too? Okay." [He rubs Plank against Ed.]
Eddy: "Ed's been touched! Pull! Pull!"
[Edd pulls the wire, and a variety of alarms go off.]
Eddy: "Ah hah! Dr. Toucher, I presume?"
Jonny: "Whoa! You guys are weird!" [He runs away.]
Eddy: "Get him!" [They chase him. Calling to Ed] "Move it, Ed! Come on!"
[Ed jumps off the bench and starts running the wrong way.]
Eddy: "Ed, this way!"
[Ed runs in the right direction.]
[Jonny runs down the lane. The fences are plastered with wanted posters that have "The Toucher," "Serial Toucher," or "Toucher" printed on them.]
Eddy: [giving chase with his friends] "He's getting away! Follow me!" [He leads them through a door in a fence.]
[The Eds and Nat are running down a sidewalk, Jonny nowhere in sight. Edd, Nat and Eddy run behind a pole. Ed tries to copy them, but instead runs into the pole. He tries again and runs into it again. It happens another time before Edd, Nat and Eddy grab Ed and pull him behind the pole. Jonny then comes running down the street, and the Eds and Nat stick out their feet and trip him.]
Jonny: [on the ground, panting] "They got me, old buddy. But you–you can still–make it, Plank, RUN!" [He throws Plank forward, but Plank comes down on his outstretched arms.] "Save yourself." [as the Eds and Nat grab him] "Be nice!"
[Ed picks up Plank and takes Jonny off to be interrogated.]
[Jonny and Plank are tied to chairs in a basement. Wires are rigged up to them. Ed comes up to them, shining a light in their eyes.]
Ed: "Hey Jonny, nice haircut. Double D's got a surprise for you." [He points to Edd, who is working at a control board.] "A lie detector."
Edd: [putting a slice of bread in a toaster] "Ready."
Ed: "Better watch what you say, Jonny."
Eddy: "Yeah, Jonny." [He's wearing sunglasses and has a toothpick in his mouth.] "You wouldn't lie to your pals, now, would ya?" [He takes out the toothpick and tosses away the sunglasses.] "Ed. Light." [Ed tosses him the flashlight.]
Eddy: [interrogating Jonny] "Alright Jonny, enough fooling around. So why don't you just tell us where everybody's stuff is, hmm?"
Jonny: "I don't know what you're talking about I didn't do anything!"
Nat: "Eddy is this really necessary?"
Eddy: "Yes it is, now be quiet!"
[Nat sighs in defeat]
Eddy: "What's the word, Double D?"
Edd: [sniffing the cooking toast] "Inconclusive, Eddy."
Eddy: [groaning, then talking to Jonny again] "Well if you won't talk, maybe your friend will." [He goes over to Plank.] "You must be the brains, huh?"
Plank: "..."
Eddy: "Where's the stuff, Planky? FESS UP!"
Plank: "..."
Eddy: "Oh. Silent, huh?" [He prepares to slap Plank.]
Nat: "I don't think you should do that."
[He ignores her and slaps him anyway]
Eddy: "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! SPLINTERS!"
[Nat shakes her head]
Nat: "I tried to warn him."
Jonny: "AAAAAAH! LEAVE PLANK ALONE EDDY!"
[Nat looks on, feeling more uncomfortable every minute.]
[The toast pops up, burnt. Edd sniffs it and then enters some data into a computer. He turns it to face Ed, Eddy, Jonny, and Plank. It reads "FALSE".]
Edd: "As you can see, the board is lying."
Eddy: "Well Planky, I think it's time we tried other methods." [He holds up a squirt gun. Jonny looks on in horror.]
Jonny: "Huh?"
Eddy: "This will make you swell up good."
[Eddy pulls the trigger and lets the gun drip onto Plank. Jonny watches in horror. As the torture goes on, it becomes apparent that Jonny has to use the bathroom. He groans in pain as the pressure builds inside.]
Jonny: "Okay! Okay! I did it! I took everyone's stuff! Now let me go. I gotta go to the bathroom!"
Eddy: "You heard him, boys and girl. Case closed." [He snaps his fingers.]
[Nat makes an uneasy look.]
Nat: "Umm...you know I think I'm going to check my room again, see if I missed any places."
Eddy: "Whatever."
Edd: "You are welcome to check my room."
Nat: "Thanks."
[Nat walks away.]
[As Nat makes her way back to her room, she steps in the bathroom.]
Nat: "I don't know why I put up with this."
[Nat then notices something on the floor.]
Nat: "What's that?"
[Nat bends down and looks, it's revealed to be Edd's magnifying glass.]
Nat: "How did that get there?"
[Nat picks it up.]
Nat: "It must have fallen out of Double D's pocket when he came in."
[Nat puts the glass in her pocket and leaves the bathroom.]
[Nat goes back in her room and searches some more for her book...but is unable to find it.]
Nat: "Nope, It's just not here."
[Nat leaves to go to Edd's house.]
[Nat goes to Edd's room, she searches, but is careful not to ruin anything. As she opens his closet, she is surprised to see a large picture of her on his door. She then smiles.]
Nat: "Aww, he values our friendship that much that he has a picture of me, that's sweet."
[Nat searches the closet, but has no luck. She then searches under the bed.]
Nat: "There's my book!"
[Nat gets her book from under the bed.]
Nat: "How did it end up here?"
[Nat just shrugs her shoulders and leaves.]
[As Nat goes outside, she witnesses the commotion outside. She stands confused at first, then walks over to Edd.]
Nat: "Hey Double D!"
Edd: "Oh, hello Nat."
[Nat reaches in her pocket and takes out the glass.]
Nat: "I found your magnifying glass, it turns out you left it at my house."
[Nat hands Edd his glass.]
Edd: "Thank you Nat, I see you have found your book."
Nat: "Yeah, it turns out I left it at your house...quite the coincidence huh?"
Edd: "Yes, very much so."
[Edd then talks to Eddy.]
Edd: "Excuse me, Eddy. Ahem. Upon further inspection of my person, I seem to have come across, my magnifying glass." [He holds it up.]
Nat: "I was also able to find my book."
[Jonny bounces by while they contemplate what this could mean. Eddy then holds up the jar, grinning.]
Sarah: [rolling Jonny, still in a tire] "That Eddy thinks he's so smart! We know you didn't do it, Jonny."
Jonny: "Mank. Moo." (Thank you.)
Sarah: "Hang tight, Jonny. This won't hurt a bit." [She pushes Jonny down a hill.]
[The Eds and Nat are in front of the candy store, slurping jawbreakers.]
Eddy: "This is good."
Nat: "Shouldn't we feel guilty about Jonny?"
Eddy: "Nah. You know what they say: A little childhood trauma builds character."
[Jonny, still in his tire, runs into them, knocking the jawbreakers out of their mouths. The jawbreakers roll down the street, and the Eds and Nat chase the jawbreakers.]
And the rest, as they say, is history.
The End...just kidding!
