Chapter 1,

"Edd, Edd, we need to talk to you." Nazz managed to call out to the Class President. "Oh, hello Nazz and Kevin. Is there a way that I can assist you this evening?" Edd asked and Nazz smiled at him, while Kevin reluctantly followed his best friend.

"Edd, I'm glad that I found you. We were going over the budget for prom, and we are over $100 short." Nazz said and Double D pulled out his notebook.

"That can't be correct, Nazz. We secured the budget over two months ago. If anything, we should be over budget now." Edd said and Kevin crossed his arms.

"Apparently our principal has been taking money out of our funding every time one of your dorky friends broke school property. No one even knew until Nazz when to get money for our prom location." Kevin said and Edd gasped.

"Oh dear, not the Thomas Planetarium. We have great plans for that location." Edd said and Nazz nodded.

"I know, our whole stargazing theme will be down the drain. Oh Double D, we need money in a hurry, and I hate to say it, but we may need a scam." Nazz said and both Kevin and Edd stared at her to make sure that they heard her correctly.

"Pardon me?" Edd finally said.

"Yeah, are you messed up Nazz?" Kevin asked, and Nazz sighed.

"Listen up, okay? Prom is only a few weeks away. We need to have some sort of scam otherwise we need to compromise our prom, or be in debt. We need something big and crazy enough to bring in the big bucks." Nazz said and Edd scratched his hat.

"Nazz, most of the funding we raise would be from sports games, or school productions such as plays." Edd said and Nazz smiled.

"Oh, then let's put on a grand play. If we all pitch in, we can turn the cheapest materials into extravagant looking sets. We can sell out a whole bunch of tickets and snacks, and make that money by prom." Nazz said and Edd shifted uncomfortably.

"Oh, Nazz, the possibility of this working is... well... not that high." Edd said and Kevin grabbed the front of Double D's shirt.

"Hey, if Nazz wants to raise money for the school, who are you to say no?" Kevin said, pointing at his chest.

"O-oh, w-well, when you p-put it like that..." Kevin let go to let the genius speak comfortably.

"Well then Nazz. Which play do you suggest that we do?" Double D said. Nazz places her finger on her cheek as she thought of a good answer. Though, this did leave Kevin and Edd in a sorta tense and awkward silence.

"It seems that the only thing that's grand enough to work is The Phantom of the Opera." Nazz said and Double D hesitated.

"Um, traditionally a play like that needs very elaborate props Nazz. Besides, a play that popular has been done countless times. And I doubt that the children here would want to participate is a play so high class." Edd pointed out, afraid of Kevin grabbing him again. And he was about to but Kevin stopped when Nazz spoke.

"Maybe we could change the ending a bit. I really wanted Christine to be with the phantom." Nazz said and Kevin obviously had no idea what she was talking about.

"You know, Nazz. My parents are quite a fan of operas and the legitimate stage. Did you know that there was a sequel of the Phantom of the Opera, titled 'Love Never Dies'?" Double D mentions and Nazz's eyes got wide.

"No way, that is so rad. But how can that be? The movie ended decades later at Christine's grave?" Nazz said and Double D chuckled softly.

"Movie writers come up with plenty of things. But if you want to change the story of the Phantom of the Opera, then perhaps we can do that followed by it's sequel. Think of it like a double feature." Edd said and Nazz clapped her hands with excitement.

"Oh, man, how exciting. And don't you worry Double D, I won't be stealing the show by trying out for Christine." This surprised Kevin, but at least Edd didn't have to compromise the show for the sake of not being hit.

"Oh, well, that's quiet alright Nazz. How gracious of you to let someone else have the spotlight." Edd said and Nazz nodded.

"True that, besides, the real star is our Phantom, right Kevin?" Nazz said as she patted the surprised teen on the back.

"What? I'm not a dork." Kevin said and Double D got nervous again.

"Yes, Nazz, listen to Kevin." Edd said and Nazz giggled.

"Oh, you two. But seriously Kevin has to be the Phantom. Have you seen every one else here? Kevin has the best voice out of all the guys. Especially after his voice got deeper." Nazz said and Kevin took a self conscious step back.

"Ah, come on Nazz, I thought I was only here to help you get the money." Kevin said and Nazz smiled.

"And you are. You're going to help raise money by being the best darned phantom you can be... and probably using your powers of persuasion to get others to audition and show up." Nazz said and then she pulled out her phone. Double D looked at Kevin up and down and wondered if in fact this brutish character had the voice of an angel. Though Kevin looked as sheepish now, as he does with needles.

"Nazz, I think that we should reconsider this. I haven't really sang in front of a real audience before." Kevin whispered, though Edd could clearly hear this.

"Oh you." Nazz said with a giggle. She had completely dominated this conversation to get exactly what she wants.

"Nazz, how do you suppose we are to find the proper materials and people to pull off such a extravagant-"

"There, now everyone knows about the play." Nazz said, putting her phone back into her pocket and Edd's eyes widened

"Excuse me, I don't think I heard you properly." Edd said and Nazz giggled.

"I have a number for every kid at school. I send a mass text out to everyone, telling them about the play, and that auditions will be right after school today." Nazz said with a somewhat evil smirk.

"Oh, I don't think we have permission to invade the auditorium, Nazz." Double D stated and Kevin glanced at Nazz giggling once again.

"I asked our music teacher if we can use his room before I sent the text." Nazz said and Double D started to sweat.

"Oh my, oh dear. We need scripts, and music sheets, and accurate roles for people to fill. Oh my, we can't audition people today." Edd said and Nazz waved him off.

"Auditions are part of being in a play Double D. And we need to move fast if we are going to start making money on it. Prom is at stake after all." Nazz said and Kevin saw how nervous the class president got.

"Hey, Double Dorko, It'll turn out alright. I can bring my video camera over so we can rewatch people as we assign them parts." Kevin said half-reassuringly and half-sarcastically.

"Hm, may I say that might be the best news I've heard either of you say." Double D said and Kevin smirked.

"Don't go crazy on us dude." Kevin said with a laugh, and Nazz got an idea.

"Hey, since I need to audition anyways, and you already have your role in the bag, why don't you and Double D hold the auditions together?" Nazz said and both boys stared at her.

"What, I'm serious." Nazz said, but she was met with more silence.

"Hey, Kevin, get a clue The Phantom and Christine kiss on stage, the least you can do is to be there to pick who you're going to kiss." Nazz pointed out and Kevin's eyes got wide.

"Well, when you put it that way, I guess it's pretty choice. Though, I'm not that crazy about how everybody sings." Kevin said and Nazz giggled, her little Jedi mind trick, and pulled Edd and Kevin into a big hug.

"Oh, you two are the best. I guess we should hurry now. School is going to start soon, and we can't be late Kevin." Nazz said and she walked away, leaving behind her two tools.

"Well, that was rather unexpected." Edd said briefly, and they both walked down the hall together because their classes were right next to each other.

"Do you really think that this scam will work?" Kevin asked sincerely, and Edd sighed.

"I don't know, but I know that I'll do my best to make it work. I did that for Eddy for years, the least I can do is do the same for our beloved school." Edd said and Kevin glanced at him.

"You know, tell me something dweeb. Do you even care about prom?" Kevin asked and Double D paused for a moment.

"Prom can be very important to some people Kevin. It can be the last chance someone has to express their feelings towards another. Or to even take a risk and put your heart on the line. Perhaps someone's last chance to create a grand gesture to prove their love to someone they care about. And if they don't even have the chance to express themselves, they could possibly regret it for the rest of their lives. Just because I'm not big on dancing, or such social endeavors, does not give me the right to reject the possibilities of others. To deny them of such a chance is just... deplorable." Edd said and Kevin blinked as he listened to him.

"That was kinda profound, Dweeb." Kevin said and Edd shrugged.

"Then again, one can make the argument that I have no idea what I am talking about, because I have no date for the dance." Edd said and Kevin glanced at him.

"I suppose a girl would be desperate enough to go out with you for one night." Kevin said and Edd sighed.

"You never have to worry about such things though, Kevin. As long as you have Nazz that is." Edd said and he was surprised to see an almost bashful smile on Kevin's face.

"You know dork, Nazz and I tried going out a few times, but we just didn't click as much as everyone thought we would. If I do go with Nazz then it'll just be platonic." Kevin said and Edd eyed him.

"So I suppose that means you are looking for a date too. I guess there are worse things." Edd said, trying to make them seem closer then they are, but it just made Kevin feel odd.

"So do you actually think this play thing will work?" Kevin said and Edd sighed.

"I don't know, but I'm going to try anyways. I did stuff like this with Eddy for years, and it's only fair that I help the school do the same. I need to create a script and a name for this play... but what to call it?" Double D wondered out loud and Kevin pulled out his phone and sighed.

"Looks like Nazz has already figured that one out." Kevin said, and Edd looked at Kevin's phone.

Don't forget everybody. If you want to audition for a role in Phantom of Love, go straight to Mr. Ryan's choir room after school. See you there.

"Hm... I suppose that Phantom of Love could work. What do you think?" Edd asked Kevin, who rubbed the back of his neck.

"I think this is going to be a really long day."
