The next day, both Edd and Eddy worked to restore everything back to normal. Using the equipment from the Team Rocket lab that were not destroyed, Edd analyzed the contents from the leftover liquid in the human potion. Once he found out the antidote's ingredients, he mixed the elements together and produced another antidote potion. With this potion, he was able to turn Starfire, the Powerpuff Girls, and Ed back to their normal forms. Seeing as how Jessie's potions had turned them into some of the slowest creatures on Earth, Edd didn't have much trouble finding them in the laboratory. Once he made sure that Starfire and his cousins were okay, the four girls flew back to Edd's house. Ed, on the other hand, decided to stay with Edd.

As for Eddy, he busied himself with work to improve his relations with his servants and the townspeople. After his life-changing experience, Eddy decided to be a better, nicer emperor by treating his subjects with more respect and actually taking the time to help them with their problems like a good ruler should.

Now Eddy didn't completely let go of his bad habits. He was still just as greedy when it came to jawbreakers, but after listening to Edd, he improved the working conditions in the jawbreaker mines and gave the miners better job benefits. He also liked to scam people with his rigged games, but now he did it for fun and always returned whatever his victims lost in his scams.

His subjects and the townspeople were surprised to see a new change in their emperor's ways. Though some still harbored their dislike for their emperor, there were more people who were delighted to see their emperor as a less selfish and cruel ruler and began to like him much more. Most peoples' views of the emperor changed when Eddy would walk up to them, talk to them, and apologize for any wrongdoings he committed against them.

One of the people Eddy apologized to was Da Mayor, who was ejected out of the palace window for throwing off the emperor's groove. Thinking back to the incident, Eddy realized that he was acting like a real jerk by punishing an old man for what was really an accident. He summoned Da Mayor to the palace so that he could apologize to him face-to-face.

"Oh, don't beat yourself up about it. I accept your apology, young man. I mean, young emperor," Da Mayor said, holding a half-eaten pickle in his hand.

"So, no hard feelings, right?" asked Eddy. Despite how relaxed Da Mayor acted, he was still worried that the old man may hold a grudge against him because of the way he treated him.

"Naw, besides if you didn't throw me out the window, someone else would have done so." Da Mayor playfully shrugged, then took a bite of his pickle. "What can I say? I'm a born troublemaker." Da Mayor jokingly threw some punches against Eddy's stomach.

Eddy dramatically fell to the floor and curled into a ball, acting as if Da Mayor had punched him for real. "Ow. Ya got me in the gut. Guess I know not to mess with you." Eddy stood up and straightened himself off and waved goodbye to Da Mayor, who waved goodbye as he walked to the exit.

Smiling, Eddy said, "For an old geezer, he's ain't so bad."

Eddy turned around and walked into his throne room. In the middle of the room, Edd and Ed are sitting around the miniature model of Eddy's Summer Paradise. Despite the friendship he believed had developed between the himself and the emperor, Edd couldn't help but think that Eddy may still go forward with his plans to demolish his village and build his summerhouse. Ed looked sadly at his dejected friend, he had no idea why Edd was so sad since Edd refused to tell what was really bugging him. Edd knew it was wrong, but he couldn't bring himself to tell Ed about Eddy's plans, it would break the big lug's poor heart.

Eddy looked at the sorrowful pair and the way Edd was eyeing the model. He correctly guessed that his plans for a grand summer getaway were the roots of his friends' sad states. He stood still for a second, thinking of what he should say to the guys. Once he figured it out, he took a deep breath and thought, 'It's showtime.'

"Thought you could pull a fast one on me, didn't ya?" asked Eddy, pretending to look upset.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Edd asked confusedly.

"You said, and I quote…" Eddy changed his voice to sound like a mock version of Edd's voice. "…When the sun's rays shine on the ridge just right, the hills sing like the melodious nightingale." Then speaking in his normal voice, Eddy continued. "Well, Sockhead, I was dragged and chased all over the hills and I didn't hear no singing."

Picking up the summerhouse model, Eddy announced, "So I'm not gonna build my summer palace on that crummy little hilltop of yours. I'm taking my business elsewhere, thank you."

Edd immediately perked up. Even though Eddy didn't come right out and say it, Edd knew right away that Eddy had come through and decided not to destroy his village to make way for his summer palace.

"Wow, I…I'm...I'm speechless. I don't know what to say," murmured Edd. He felt so overwhelmingly happy and proud of Eddy for doing the right thing and for all the other changes that the emperor was making to become a kinder, less self-centered ruler.

"Just say 'thank you.' It's not that hard," remarked Eddy jokingly.

Speaking up for the first time since Eddy's return to his human self, Ed exclaimed "Thank you, Eddy!"

A scratched record sound is heard as both Eddy and Edd stared wide-opened at Ed, both thinking if they had heard right. Did Ed just say Eddy instead of "Giblet?"

"Ed?! Did you just call me Eddy?!" asked the flabbergasted emperor.

"Yep. I knew your name all along. Even I'm not that dumb." Ed smiled warmly at Eddy, then wrapped him in a cozy hug. "But you'll always be my little chicken, Giblet."

Eddy grins and chuckles against Ed's chest. "Heh, guess I underestimated you, monobrow." Ed released Eddy from his embrace. Eddy sat down next to his summerhouse model that he had placed on the floor. Although he changed his plans on the location of his summerhouse, Eddy still wanted to build his summer getaway.

Sitting cross-legged and holding his head between his hands, Eddy looks at the model forlornly. "Now, where am I gonna build my summer pad? It has to be somewhere cool!"

Edd went over to Eddy and sat right beside him. Looking at both Eddy and the summer palace model, Edd holds his chin in a pondering manner and thinks of the most ideal solution to Eddy's dilemma. As always, Edd gets an idea and proceeds to share it with the emperor.

"It may not be the 'coolest' place on earth, but I know of a place you can build your summer resort. One of the perks is that it is very close to our village." Edd then casually shrugged, "Just thought you might be interested."

Confused, Eddy thought over about what Edd had said. Then it hit him! He figured out what Edd was getting at. Smirking at Edd, Eddy realized right away what Edd was really suggesting. There were only two words to describe the anticipating excitement that was about to take place. Ed grabbed the two boys around their shoulders and yelled those two words.

"POOL PARTY!!"


After a week had passed, Eddy's Paradise was open for business! Per Edd's suggestions, Eddy had his construction crew build his summer getaway on a hilltop next to the hill where Edd's village was located. To celebrate the opening day of Eddy's Paradise, Eddy invited everyone from Edd's village to join in the fun.

Kicking open the door to one of the changing room huts, Eddy strikes a pose in his red swim trunks. "Ha! Yeah, baby!" Eddy yelled his catch phrase.

Unlike Eddy, Edd, wearing dark purple swim trunks, gently opened the front door of his house. But like Eddy, he also yelled, "Ha! Yeah, baby!"

Both Eds ran down their respective hilltops and headed for the giant, refreshing pool that was part of the whole Eddy's Summer Paradise. As they ran, Eddy's theme song guy, Powerline, began to sing.

You'd be the coolest dude in the nation

Or the hippest cat in creation

Eddy dives into the pool, with Edd following close behind. Both boys laugh and splash each other until Ed arrives at the scene, making a massive cannonball into the pool. This created a huge wave from which the emperor rode through it and landed onto the beach.

Grabbing a fresh towel from a nearby lawnchair, Eddy vigorously dried himself off. After toweling himself off, Eddy looks to find Starfire hovering in front of him with a strange necklace in her hands. With a cheerful smile, Starfire places the ceremonial Blorthog necklace of friendship over his head and around his wide neck. To conclude her acceptance of Eddy, the emperor she had earlier thought of as a rude, unjust leader, as her friend, Starfire embraced him in a tight, crushing hug.

But if you ain't got friends

then nothing's worth the fuss

A perfect world will come to be

When everybody here can see

The Powerpuff Girls giggled at Eddy whose body resembled that of an accordion. All three grabbed onto a part of Eddy's body and stretched him out back into his normal shape. Once he was back to normal, Bubbles and Blossom gave him a hug while Buttercup gaves Eddy a noogie. Despite his dislike of little kids, Eddy couldn't deny that he liked and respected the superpowered trio, especially after they saved him from Jessie and her Pokemon. He returned their hug, then playfully swiped at Buttercup to get off his head. The girls laughed gleefully and flew off, leaving Eddy all alone for the moment.

That a perfect world begins and ends

Edd, with his towel draped around his neck, ambles over to Eddy and gives him a friendly, firm hand shake to which Eddy happily returned. Then Ed popped up in between them and pulled his two friends in a big group hug. Starfire arrived on the scene and shyly kissed Edd on the lips, which caused the couple to smile and blush at the same time. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup swooped into the group and hugged Edd, Starfire, Ed, and Eddy again for the second time!

A perfect world begins and ends

All of a sudden, Powerline, some of the villagers that made an appearance in the story, and the author StarReader86 herself, joined the merry group of family and friends. Everybody smiles and strikes a pose as Powerline sings the last words to the song.

A perfect world begins and ends with us


You would think that would be the end of the movie. But there is one last scene, one that will answer the question of what ever happened to James and Jessie.

Standing on a grassy mound, a blue-haired man wearing a Critter Scouts uniform, coupled with a hat and various badges adorning his outfit. For those who guessed correctly, it is James! Apparently after the whole plan to get rid of emperor Eddy failed, James decided to do something he liked doing and was more noble. Like his Pop Pop, he became a Critter Scouts troop leader. But he couldn't do it alone, so he enlisted the help of his furry associates, Alvin and his brothers, Simon and Theodore, who are also wearing the Critter Scouts uniform.

Today, he is teaching his scouts how to translate certain English phrases in chipmunk language. The scouts in his troop consisted of the Powerpuff girls, Lazlo, Raj, Clam, Timmy Turner, A.J. and Chester.

"Dude, where is my acorn?" said James.

"Squeaky, squeakin', squeak, squeak," uttered the scouts as they translated the first phrase.

"StarReader86 is a great writer."

"Squeak, squeak, squeaker, squeakitty, squeak."

"I watched the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie and bought the DVD."

"Squeak, squeakin,' squeak, squeaked, squeak, squeaky…"translated the scouts. The nine scouts looked over and found that one of their fellow scouts was not participating in the exercise. Lazlo leaned over and nudged a pouty-looking magenta Meowth, who glared up at the monkey's stupidly smiling face.

Jessie grudgingly finishes the sentence. "Squeak," she said, holding up a copy of the DVD.

James was so overcome with pride for his troop's success at chipmunk translation that he began to tear up. The chipmunk trio gave him some tissues to dry his eyes. Wiping his eyes, James declared, "I am so proud of you guys!"

THE END
