The Edge of the World!
Note: The title has nothing to do with the story. I wanted a cool title, but all the ones that relate to my idea are pretty lame. Example: "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!" and "Delirium in Space!"

Recently, Ness went back in time trying to stop a Starman from assassinating President Jefferson. Ness knocked off some guy's hat while back in time, but that couldn't affect the future...Could it?

Ness teleported back to his familiar home town, the fair city of Onett. He surveyed the street, it looked pretty much the same. Thank God he didn't change anything back in time, or the future could be affected greatly. He decided to visit his girlfriend Paula in Twoson.
Ness reached the Polestar Preschool, and knocked on the door. To his surprise, his friend Jeff Andonuts answered the door, wearing a silver jumpsuit with a "J" on the front, and contact lenses.
"Hi Jeff," said Ness, "Are you visiting Paula too?"
"What are you doing here?" shouted Jeff, "My girlfriend, Paula (NA NA NA!) doesn't want a jerk like you around!"
"What are you talking about? Paula is my girlfriend, and you're my best friend!"
"What? Ness, you've been a thorn in our sides for years! Leave us alone or I'll call Police Chief Everdred!"
"Oh no, the hat I knocked off must have changed the world in ways I can't imagine! Jeff, can I see Paula, please?"
"Fine, but I'm keeping you away from the celery! I learned my lesson about THAT when you attacked us in Scaraba!"
Ness walked down the hall, and saw Paula. She was wearing a blue dress and a big green cowboy hat.
"Paula, what happened to you? Where are your parents? What's with the hat? Why are you dating Jeff? Why does everyone hate me? Can I have something to drink? Answer me, woman, answer me!"
"Ness? I never thought I'd see you again! I'm the same as I've always been. My parents, Mr. Carpainter and Venus, are in Fourside. The unquestioned lord and master of the Earth told me to wear this hat. Jeff understands me, and I love a guy with brain who doesn't carry baseball bats. Everyone is angry at you because you sold us out to Giygas. No."
"The 'Unquestioned lord and master of the Earth'? Who's that?" Ness asked.
Suddenly alarms began to sound, and the television flicked on. And, on the screen, wearing a crown and sitting on a big pile of gold, was Ness's arch-nemisis, the bloated enemy of mankind, Pokey Minch!
"Pokey is ruling the world? NOOOOOOOOOOOO..."

(Fifteen minutes later)

"...OOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Whew, glad I got that out of my system. Hey, where am I?" Ness looked around and saw he was in a cold, dark prison cell with Paula and Jeff.
"This is another fine mess you've gotten us into, Ness!" said Paula, "Pokey imprisoned us all because YOU were disturbing the peace during 'The Slavery Dance Hour.'"
Jeff looked up from a small round contraption. "Luckily, I just called our team mates, who helped us against Giygas. They should be teleporting here shortly."
Suddenly, light filled the room, and when Ness regain his sight, he saw that two people had teleported into the cell. They were his old friend Poo and Lucky of the Runaway Five!
"Hey man, if I can, ask what Dan is doing here, Stan?" Poo asked Jeff as he saw Ness.
"Yeah, what's he doing here? I thought he was a wanted criminal!" Lucky exclaimed.
"This has gone far enough," said Ness, "Why does everyone hate me?! And how did you stop Giygas without me?"
"Treason is the reason for the season." Poo said angrily at Ness.
Jeff chimed in. "What my friend is trying to say, is that you betrayed us, Ness. In Twoson, you tripped on a colonial style hat and hit your head. After that, you turned on us in Fourside. I became the leader, and Lucky joined up and left his band, Runway Fire. Later, we met you in Dalaam, and you gave Poo a severe brain hemorrhage. Now he only speaks in rhymes, and he really loves apples. I mean he REEEEEALLY loves apples. Anyway, you became Giygas's right hand man, and Pokey was tossed out on the street. While we were busy fight you and Giygas, he became the lord and master of everything. All because of that stupid hat!"
"The hat is where it's at, cat!" said Poo.
Ness had to act fast. If he could go back in time, and replace the hat, then everything would be okay. "Hey, wait! I can fix everything! Just get me to the Apple Kid's house! If he can get me back in time to fix whatever I did, the world will be okay again!"
"I don't think we trust you, Ness. Besides, Apple Kid is just a self-centered ladies man, unlike the homely yet-intelligent Orange Kid," said Lucky.
"Lucky's right, Ness. If you want to go back in time, and if you can fix this, then I'm going with you," said Jeff. Ness agreed. Ness, Paula, and Poo teleported the gang out of the cell and to Orange Kid's house in Threed.
Soon Ness and Jeff were in a time machine, all ready to go back and get that man's hat back on. Orange Kid pulled the switch and...
The intrepid time surfers landed in a quaint New England time square. Suddenly, a Starman appeared, followed by Ness. A battle ensued, and Ness and Jeff ran over to help.
"WHAAAAT?" asked Ness #2 in surprise, "Who are you?" In the confusion, Starman brutally killed Ness #2.
"...oops." said Ness #1. He and Jeff faded away and tried again.

"Oh yeah," said Ness #1. He and Jeff faded away and tried again.
The intrepid time surfers landed in a quaint New England time square. Suddenly, a Starman appeared, followed by Ness #2. This time, Ness #1 and Jeff stayed back. During the battle, a man's hat was knocked off. Jeff ran to replace it, but accidentally put the hat back on a different guy. "Mission accomplished!" he yelled, and he and Ness #1 faded away, back into the future.
Ness was sitting on a throne, on top of a huge pile of money. Jeff was standing next to him, and Paula lay at his feet. Now, Ness was the supreme ruler of the Earth!
"Oh no, " exclaimed Jeff "We messed up!" He hurried into the time machine to fix the error.
"This seems fine to me..." said Ness. Jeff reached out and pulled him back.
The intrepid time surfers landed in a quaint New England time square. Suddenly, a Starman appeared, followed by Ness. Ness and Jeff stayed back. A man's hat was knocked off again, and this time Jeff was careful to put it back correctly. As he and Ness went back into the future, Jeff saw that the hat was slightly tilted now.
Jeff and Ness were swimming the ocean now. When the man's hat was replaced incorrectly, it reversed evolution, and now all humans are fish!
"Whoops," said Jeff and Ness in unison. They swam into the time machine again.
The intrepid time surfers landed in a quaint New England time square. They ran as fast as they could toward the man with the time-altering hat and rushed him away from the scene. Suddenly, a Starman appeared, followed by Ness.
"What are you doing?!" shouted the man.
Ness replied "We're salvaging the time stream! Sir, what is your name?"
"My name is Ben Frankl-" The man was hit by a beam from the Starman, and killed.
"Uh oh," said Jeff. He and Ness faded into the future.
Ness and Jeff were in Onett. Everything looked the same as Ness remembered it. They went to Twoson to check on Paula, who told them that everything was just as it should be. Luckily, Ben Franklin's death didn't affect the future of Eagleland. Suddenly, storm clouds gathered, and a thunder storm began.
"Don't worry," said Ness calmly, "The lightning can't hurt us as long as I have the Lincoln badge!"

The End
(Thankfully)
