Summary: the famous morning after ;)

Warnings: nudity

Kelvin woke up to the sound of a pounding headache, the kind that feels like two jackhammers going off inside his skull. He cursed under his breath, vowing never to drink that much again. He slowly opened his eyes, blinded by the rays of sunshine invading his apartment and looked around, trying to piece together how he ended up still fully dressed on his couch instead of lying comfortably in his bed. He tried to sit up, but the room started spinning again, his head fell back and he groaned, pretty sure that he was going to throw up any second now. He prayed to whoever divine entity was listening to take off the excruciating pain when he heard a sudden knock on his front door. It was too loud, too much for his fragile brain to handle. He groaned and pulled his face in his hands, hoping whoever it was would just go away and leave him to die in peace. But the knocking persisted, growing louder and more insistent with each passing moment. Finally, he dragged himself off the couch and as he stumbled around towards the front door, one foot landed on the empty bottle he discarded so carelessly last night, rendering his body to the merciless gravity that pulled him down on the floor with a brutal force.

"Not this again", he mumbled with his face glued to the cold tiles.

"Robert?", a gentle female voice hesitantly resounded from the hallway outside.

He recognised it immediately, jumped up in panic and staggered towards the door, his hands rushing through his hair in a desperate attempt to not look like he just woke up half dead. He took a deep breath and opened the door and was immediately greeted by that big adorable smile of yours as you eagerly held up a paper bag in front of his face.

"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey", you chimed, your voice cheerful but husky.

He didn't know what to respond as his mind was currently away on a quest to find out how it as possible to have you standing at his front door with breakfast. Did he tell you where he lived yesterday? He couldn't remember any of that, but, in all fairness, he couldn't think of any reason for his brain to help him now, given that he persistently tried to drown it yesterday. He motioned you to enter and pointed towards the kitchen counter.

"Coffee?", he asked while closing the door.

You sank down on the stool at the counter, posing the bag and two paper cups on it.

"Genius me already thought of this", you giggled pointing at the cups, "don't take this personally T-Bird, but you look like shit.", your hand grabbed his arm, forcing him to turn around, your eyes inspecting his hungover expression, "I'm glad we agreed on breakfast this morning, the way you look, you definitely need my hangover cure."

You unpacked a big greasy sandwich from the bag and proudly held it up.

"Ed's eggs and bacon sandwich! Curing my hangovers since", you paused for a moment, faking a pondering expression, "well let's say a long time but definitely not long enough to make you think I'd be old."

Kelvin couldn't help but to smirk at your sweet attempt to cheer him up with silly jokes and took a big bite from the sandwich. It tasted like a piece of heaven packed between two bread slices, like a magic potion cursing through his body, reviving his wrecked body completely. This was exactly what he needed right now and happiness filled his heart at the thought of you being this caring and sweet to him. He glimpsed up from his food at you, his heart skipping a beat at the sight of you smiling at him while eating. The same kind of yesterday's black eyeliner contoured your eyes perfectly, highlighting your bright coloured irises beautifully like sparkling gemstones and then there was a dress again. It was different from the velvet one, it hang loose on your delicate frame, only emphasising the form of your breasts slightly without revealing anything, but it was enough to declare another war on his sanity and restraint.

"Like what you see, soldier?", the mocking tone of your voice tore him back to reality.

"It is my duty to assess the situation and analyse any possible threat before reacting", he calmly explained, the corners of his mouth twitching in a failing attempt to hide a grin.

You leaned closer to him, your eyes darting to his lips before fixing on his in a long relishing stare.

"And what threat could tiny innocent me possible pose for a well trained and, if I may say so, very handsome soldier like you", you paused for a second, "Rob?"

You moved a bit closer to him, Kelvin swallowed the lustful moan that threatened to escape his throat any minute and just when he thought you lean in to kiss him, he saw the cup move up to your lips and you took a sip of coffee, winking at him teasingly.

"Are you not only invading me in the morning but also flirting with me?", his raspy voice went straight to your core.

How could this man be so seductive and tempting while still acting casual with a hint of confusion?

"Well we agreed on meeting up today as you were quite drunk by the end of the evening and I was a bit worried about you", you confessed, your cheeks blushing rapidly, "so you practically invited me to invade."

Kelvin might have been sitting in his kitchen, having a discussion with a beautiful woman, but his mind moved elsewhere again, lost in the sudden surge of last night's memories flooding his thoughts. He stared at you dumbfounded with a blank expression, his lips parting at the shock of all the new information hitting at him at once. He remembered telling you about his work, how he passionately spent most of his free days working on his car and even where he lived. And then the words you whispered to him just before leaving finally emerged from the cloud of his drunken amnesia. He remembered the fondness in your voice as you told him that you would drop by and make sure he'd be okay and get him back to full energy with your secret weapon. The words echoed in his head like a never-ending refrain. He blinked in shock, his eyes swiftly darting down to his crotch, recalling the disaster that unfolded on his couch before he succumbed to the drunken lullaby of blissful sleep.

"I..uhm...I need to take a shower", his fingers fumbled nervously at the cup, his eyes trying everything possible to avoid you, "I feel kinda disgusting, still wear the same clothes and uhm...", he jumped up and hurried towards the bathroom, "be right back!"

You cackled, taking another sip from your coffee before you looked around for a trash can to discard the empty wrapping paper and cups. The creaking of the bathroom door caught your attention and your curiosity took over as you peaked around the corner. In the rush to get rid of last night's dried up cum uncomfortably and painfully gluing his boxers to his pubic hair, Kelvin forgot to give the door another push as it would otherwise hang ajar, not enough to get a full glance at the entire bathroom but just enough so you could spy him through the crack. Your lips parted, forming a surprise Oh as your eyes where fixed on Kelvin stripping down his underwear, revealing his well formed and definitely well trained butt.

"Holy mother of", was all that escaped your lips in a faint whisper as you couldn't prevent yourself from staring, still holding the trash in hand as your foot pressed on the pedal kept the lid of the trashcan hanging open in suspense.

A faint breeze alarmingly blew gently on the skin of his backside caused a flash of anxiety in Kelvin. The door! His mind scolded him as he turned around very slowly as if a part of him irrationally believed to become invisible when moving achingly slow. His eyes scanned the living room through the crack of the door, landing on your shocked frame. You gulped heavily at the sight of Kelvin's fully exposed front. Your eyes wandered down his well shaped body, taking a mental note of every defined muscle along the way until they suddenly landed on his groin.

"Bullseye", you mumbled, still unable to avert your grace at the delicious sight of the stark naked soldier, for whom you started harboring feelings for, in front of you.

Kelvin let out a panicked shriek and kicked the door shut. The sudden bang of it snapping shut, ripped you out of your trance like state, noticing only now that your hand had let go of the trash which was not lying at your feet. You cleaned up the floor and hurried back to the kitchen corner, contemplating about running away in a desperate attempt to avoid the uncomfortable conversation this incident would entail while the heat crept up your cheeks. You expected Kelvin to be in shape and look deliciously good under those tight clothes but the unmasked image of reality that presented itself to you, surpassed everything your dirty mind could have come up with. Despite feeling ashamed and mentally scolding you for shamelessly staring at him, you felt like you might hit the jackpot with this one, that is if what just happened didn't ruin all your chances with this charmingly sweet man.

Part 4: Kiss me, you fool

Bizarrely, I totally remember this event and am glad someone else does!... but my memory of it is a bit very highly different!- and who's to say whether I'm/op is just being inaccurate about details, or Mandela bs'ing or whatnot....But MY RECOLLECTION was; while yes this alien event totally happened, I have zero idea where this Kraft macaroni n' cheese business came from that OP talks about. (Though it's entirely plausible Kraft did a sponsorship deal somehow, and forced things like this to happen, it's totally specific and batshit enough to sound exactly like a legit thing a kid's TV network would be forced reluctantly into doing back then, so I am not saying it was too silly for it to occur, because it by its own very definition is not.)

But. If *I* am recollecting it right... this wasn't on the surface level anything to do with Mac and cheese, but a seasonal October/Halloween special event. And NONE OF the episodes I recall used cheese in them as a plot point, except for Foster's who had already an established character named Cheese by that point? (Given the fact the main character is named Mac and his pal is Bloo aka like a Kraft Box and I def recall at least one joke being made about this specific fact on the show, it's probably no coincidence and maybe it is possible Cheese was created in the first place for that idea?....)

-But I thought the alien week episode for Billy and Mandy was the famous 'Lil Rock of of Horrors' musical episode, the one where Aurelio Voltaire voices a meteorite slime alien who sang "BRAINS!!!" and Mandy eventually destroys them.

-The Ed Edd n Eddy one I just very recently ago revisited and it DID NOTHING with cheese. It's an incredible episode actually, where Jimmy gets an apocalyptic, uncharacteristically morbid and cinematically horrible nightmare about aliens tearing up the ground with giant buzz saws coming out of flying saucers. It was animated with some legit disturbing trippy visuals and great moments of tense atmosphere, as Jimmy's alien prediction starts seemingly coming true in reality. And that all comes together for one of those classic typical: 'no no, it was a farce, just wacky neighbor antics was all that was going on, status quo resumed...the aliens were never really here....OR WERE THEY??' type show endings.

Actually I am surprised no EEE fans bring out any fanfiction or crazy theories regarding the strange cool mess of implications this episode leaves. The aliens according to that episode are not just real, they use a spaceship to steal the entirety of PeachCreek's neighborhood, specifically just the cul-de-sac area, Invader Zim 'Planet Jacker' or toy crane machine style, without anybody noticing, and now Peach Creek is just a satellite entity drifting blissfully unawares thru space, to some unknown destination for God knows what. Never addressed again in show canon. For obvious reasons.

-'Kids Next Door' did have an episode involving cheese but to my recall this wasn't one of them and I *think* it was actually the infamous 'Animatrix parody' episode? The one where the framing device is Numbuh One is telling during class the origin story of the great war between Kids vs. Adults, who happen to be an alien species altogether. And it devolves into an off-putting montage of hysterical ramblings about mind control conspiracies, set to bits of mixed media footage, until he reaches his peak hysteria and gets told basically to calm down and shut up by his teacher, or that he gets an F for show and tell, something like that...

'My Gym Partner's a Monkey' I barely ever watched. I couldn't tell you nothing there.

-'Camp Lazlo' is beloved by me but this one's plot I don't recall probably the most, however, I def recall loving the show to heck and back, and, while blurrily I do remember some gags and episodes with tropes about aliens, there def wasn't I recall any episode particularly fixated around CHEESE.

-And finally, I am unsure if this is any more correct or not as anything else stated above by me and op, but, my recollection is that Courage the Cowardly Dig had a stake in this themed week as well, and it too aired an episode about aliens, a theme it was never a stranger to since it's very beginnings, but yet again, still had no cheese. I know Courage like the back of my palm so I know there's definitely not any episode plot fixated around THAT. (Though there is an episode centered around consumption of *flan*, of all things!)

ANYWAY....Unless there happens to be an episode from any of/ all of these listed franchises where I just missed it, and never once saw the showing of it; and, I quite distinctly remember at least all of the bumpers and hype built up for this event and being glued to my TV during the original airing of it, in sum, I don't feel really like this entirely happened as OP either describes, or, the strange macaroni subliminal theming was SO unwillingly shoehorned that it barely makes a presence at all among these episodes to a point of non existence...and maybe that is why I never made that connection.

Or I'm just a dumbass who performs barely any research and isn't able to remember the layout of things aired on TV over three decades ago.

Sorry guys. It's 5am and I take cartoons too pointlessly seriously. What else is new.

I was today years old when I realized that weird alien invasion event that happened on Cartoon Network was all a part of a Kraft's Mac N Cheese sponsorship...For those who don't know...

Back in 2007, Cartoon Network marketed this big event where aliens invaded in five of their popular shows at the time: Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, My Gym Partner's A Monkey, Camp Lazlo, and The Grim Adventures of Billy Mandy. Each episode had two things in common: An alien species that looked the same in each show and cheese...Just...Just cheese. Lots of cheese. Characters eating cheese and protecting cheese and even chasing after a character named Cheese.

This was stretched out for a month, and it was all sponsored by Kraft, hence the weird obsession with cheese in each episode. This was an idea that NONE of the showrunners wanted to do, but the network forced them to do it anyway. Still, some tried to make this forced idea work because...it was all for the money, I guess.

Unfortunately, Kraft would BACK OUT of this deal, and it was all thanks to the episode that Billy and Mandy had to make. Because I guess they didn't like an episode where a kid's head blew up for the sake of saving cheese or something (I barely remember that episode). But, yeah, that's the main reason why Cartoon Network did this weird event, and it was all for NOTHING. And I'm going to be honest...I wish more studios did weird shit like this.

I mean, I don't WANT showrunners to be forced into making an episode they had no desire to make, but let it be known it left an impact. Like that time Disney Channel sitcoms had characters wish upon a shooting star that caused them all to temporarily live out these weird what-if scenarios. It's frickin' weird, but it's the best kind of weird.
