"That might've been the craziest fishing trip I've ever had."

Tom looks at Edd with a puzzled expression.  They were on the car drive home from fishing in the channel.

"I mean," he sighed "You sold all of our sofas to a pirate, without asking Matt and I if it was okay, and what do you do with the proceeds? You buy a giant harpoon gun.  A. Giant.  Harpoon. Gun.  And using that harpoon gun, you catch a whale.  A whale! In the bottom of the channel!!  I mean, who wouldn't call that a little crazy?"

Matt climbs out of the car as it rolls to a stop. He gives a simple I don't know grunt before shutting the door and walking into the side of the house, giving one of the windows an imprint of his face.

"Probably Matt." Tom replies with a smirk. 

Edd sighs, exasperated. 

"Just- put those harpoons somewhere they wont end up hurting someone."

"Aye aye Captain Edd!" Tom shouts, saluting.

Tom grabs the harpoons from the backseat and starts toward the house.  As he walks through the doorway he says to the now unconscious Matt : "Oi Matt! don't forget to grab your fishing stuff from the car."  Right before slamming the door in Matt's face.

As he flicks on the lights he hears footsteps coming from the living room.  He stiffens, harpoon at the ready. he stalks down the hallway his mind racing.

  'It's probably just the cat... no unwanted guest or...'

He gulped.  When he reached the end of the hallway he formed an attack stance.

"Who goes there!?" he shouts, pointing his harpoon at the intruder. 

'  No... It can't be...'

He stood, frozen, as the harpoon slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor. 

Edd & Matt's POV

As Edd helps Matt up from the doorstep they hear a huge crash.  Edd bursts through the door to find Tom, staring dumbfounded at something at the end of the hallway, a bent harpoon at his feet.  A shadowy figure approaches him.

"Hello, old friend."
