COLOR PRINTER: {singing} Shoppin' for some e-mail in the e-mail store.

Ages ago, life was born in the primitive sea.
Young life forms constantly evolved in order to survive.
Some prospered, some did not, all sorts of life ebbed and flowed like the tide.
In the quiet rhythm of the mother sea, life grew.
Always seeking to survive and flourish.
Soon life began to advance towards land, opening new habitats.
A great prosperity came, as life conquered even the highest mountains.
Mass extinctions came wave after wave,

COLOR PRINTER: What? That's it? Man, that's a ripoff! I thought there was more-{presses a key, more pops up} Oh, wait. There's more. Good.

but empty niches always quickly refilled,
to once again prosper, grow, and reproduce.
Someday the next great emigration will occur,
as we leave this existence looking for another.
The journey will begin anew.
I hold within me, the memories of all that has passed.
Who am I...

COLOR PRINTER: {long pause} Uh...I don't quite understand your e-mail. What am I supposed to do? Go off somewhere and start new life? Like the ocean? Or the moon-Hey! That's not a bad idea! I could go to the moon and create a new breed of moon-printers! {starts typing} Well, Eden, it looks like I'm going to the MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! {stops typing} Whoosh! {runs off screen}

{Cut to The Proud Anselmo flying through space. Star Wars-esque music plays in the background.}'

VOICE-OVER: Hey! {music halts} Who put that clip up?!?

{Cut to Strongbadia. The cardboard "version" of The Proud Anselmo is constantly shaking, to create the illusion of flight. Cut to the inside of The Proud Anselmo. Color Printer, Strong Bad (in his Space Captainface outfit) and The Cheat (in his Strap outfit) are there.}

COLOR PRINTER: How is this thing gonna take me to the moon? It's not even flying!

STRONG BAD: Oh, you wanted to go to the moon? I thought you just wanted a ride in my spaceship!

COLOR PRINTER: Uh, yeah. I wanted a ride in your {uses hand quotes} "spaceship" to the moon.

STRONG BAD: Don't worry! I'll get you to the moon! Strap! Press the "spring to moon" button!

THE CHEAT: {makes The Cheat noises, presses a button labeled "SPRiNG TO MOON, YO."}

COLOR PRINTER: "Spring to moon"?!?

{Suddenly, Color Printer is launched into the air by a platform suddenly springing up from underneath him. He flies through the roof of The Proud Anselmo and into space. Cut to Color Printer flying through space.}

COLOR PRINTER: {screaming} Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

{Cut to a view of the Moon getting closer. There is a large structure, possibly some sort of moon base.}

COLOR PRINTER:' Yes! Nebulon's moon base! Now all I have to do {cut to a view of a satallite} is grab onto that satallite, and I can get onto the moon!

{Cut back to a view of CP heading towards the satallite.}

COLOR PRINTER: Here it comes...{reaches out and grabs it} Got it-

{The satallite snaps off and CP continues to fly in the air holding the broken satallite piece.}

COLOR PRINTER: {screams} Oh, no!!!!!!!!!

{Cut to a view from the Moon. Color Printer flys up and out of sight, complete with a star and "Ding!" sound effect.}

{Cut to a sign reading "TWO WEEKS LATER..." Cut back to the computer. The e-mail is still up. Color Printer walks in, looking obviously tired. He sits down at the computer.}

COLOR PRINTER: {sighs, then starts typing} Well, I answered your e-mail...and the outcome was horrible. So this little baby gets...DELETED!

{The DELETED! sound effect plays.}

DELETED!

COLOR PRINTER: Well, I'm going to go take a nap. And a shower. Meh. {starts to walk off slowly, but then falls down and falls asleep.}

{The Paper comes down.}
