Hello kittens, I don't know when I started shipping this pairing but I do. Marie has always been my favorite Kanker and Nazz is my favorite Cul-de-sac kid. Here is part one of a two part story. (Rewritten a bit after I realized all my mistakes)

I Do Not Own Ed, Edd & Eddy

Lots a Lot a Love, Kandikitty

Nazz sat up in her room staring out her window, the stars were beautiful and they always seemed to calm her down. The blonde looked around her room, slipping on her jacket and grabbing her shoes she walked silently through her house and out the front door. Sitting on the steps she put on her shoes before making her way to the park. There was a slight wind chill, but other then that it was a beautiful night.

From the fence line of the park she could clearly see someone sitting on a swing smoking a cigarette. Taking the swing next to the bluenette, Nazz joined her.

"You come here every night." Marie stated pulling her pack out and offering one to her companion.

Nazz gratefully took it, setting it between her lips Marie lit it for her. "So do you Marie."

The girl shrugged. "It's better then being home with Lee and May." Silence filled the air again, both just enjoying their cigarette.

Retrieving two more for them, Nazz looked questionably at the other girl "You aren't drinking tonight?" Along with their nightly cigarettes Marie would also bring a blue flask that had once been her fathers.

"We have school tomorrow" Marie answered with a shrug

"Bullshit, thats never stopped you before dude." It's not that Nazz wanted a drink, it was the opposite actually.

"You hate alcohol." Marie said while standing and offering Nazz her hand.

"What does that have to do with anything?" She never received an answer though. The older girl walked her home and waited for the door to close before heading to her own home.

Lunch, The Next Day

Marie ate in the art room. No one ever bothered her here since the teacher, Ms. Lo, seemed to freak out most students. Sitting in the back of the room with her back to the door Marie poured over a decent size sketch book. She was currently drawing a silhouette of a couple walking with there hands linked. The back ground was a giant moon framing them. This sketch book was filled with a scene for every night she and Nazz hung out together. Marie was drawing on the second to last page in the book. There were soft foot steps echoing through the empty room.

Without even turning Marie greeted the new guest "I've never seen you in this part of the school, Miss cheerleader." Turning on her stool to face the blonde Marie held her signature smirk on her lips.

"I don't have any art classes dude." Was all Nazz said sitting on a table across from where Marie was.

"Then why are you here?" If it was anyone else, Marie would have sounded like she was being a bitch but Nazz knew better.

"You are graduating tomorrow." the younger girl stated.

"And you'll be a senior." The words were laced with sarcasm and an eye roll was added to complement it.

"No, dude Im graduating with you." Nazz stated folding her arms cross her chest

"And what does this have to do with me?" Marie had turned around adding more shading to the picture.

Nazz was silent, she wasn't exactly sure why she came to tell Marie

"Why did you work so hard to graduate with me?" Marie questioned again.

Nazz still didn't get what the other girl was trying to help her understand.

"You really are a ditzy cheerleader." Marie shut her sketch book and tossed it over to Nazz. She grabbed her back pack just as the bell rang. "Get to your last hour, or you'll be late." Were Marie's parting words as she left room.

Nazz was having an emotional hurricane run its corse through her head. She was angry, confused, upset, hurt… but of all the things she felt empty was the most out on her last hour she opted for going home instead. Taking the sketch book she sat up on the kitchen counter with a glass of chocolate milk and a box of cookies, Nazz looked intensely at it. The cover had been wrapped in duct tape and scribbled on with black sharpie. 'Why did she give me this?' the blonde couldn't help but wonder.

Jumping off the counter she picked the book up. 'Is this an invasion of her privacy?' she wondered then dismissed the thought. Since Marie had thrown it at her, there was probably something in it she wanted Nazz to see. The first page was Nazz, she held a cigarette in her mouth with a hand lighting it for her. It was the first night she spent with Marie and her first cigarette. Flipping through the rest of the book she realized every picture was of her or her and Marie. Memories flooded through her head. The cheerleader was feeling ill, the room bagan to spin and her stomach…'fuck…' running to the bathroom Nazz threw up.

The book hit the floor and out fell a blue envelope addressed to Nazz.

That Night

Back in the trailer park, Marie was packing up clothes and the few art supplies she had.

"I can't believe you are leaving us like this." Lee growled from their door.

"Shut up Lee. I told you, you and May can come with me." Closing the bag she turned to look at the eldest Kanker sister

"Fuck you Marie! We can't leave Mom alone."

The middle sister was now angry instead of annoyed. "Leave her alone?! She has barely been here for us and I'm sick of it! I can afford an apartment and I'm doing it. You and May can stay and take care of her, but I'm not! After graduation tomorrow I'm gone!" Lee was ready to fight but the youngest sister stood in the middle of them.

"May get outta the way!" Lee yelled but May didn't listen.

"Do something with yourself okay? We are too far gone…" May said with her eyes cast down, she grabbed Lee by her wrist and pulled her out of the room. Marie was at a loss for words, shaking her head she walked out of the trailer, having all of her stuff packed relaxed her.

The walk to the park was nice, she enjoyed her time alone. Walking on autopilot she lit up a cigarette 'I wonder if Nazz will be here…Well if not, she won't ever have to see me again. This is my last night in this god forsaken town.' She clenched her fist, her anger starting to get the best of her. Looking around she realized she was in the park. Reaching the nearest tree she punched at the trunk until her knuckles were bleeding. "Way to go Marie. Bust up your hands right before you get your diploma." Going into her pocket, she winced at the pain that spread through her fingers. "Fucking shit!" She yelled before slumping down against the tree.

Feet approached her "Usually you're happy at night." The voice spoke.

"Usually you are here later." Marie retorted. Sitting next to her, Nazz looked down at her hands "I haven't seen your hands that bad since we first started hanging out." She nodded to the bloody masses.

Marie rolled her eyes "That's what we are calling it now? I thought this was you intruding on my personal time and getting cigarettes for it." Nazz knew she had really hurt Marie-without even knowing it. So the blonde didn't try and fight back, she just leaned over her favorite Kanker to get the pack of cigarettes.

The two girls sat in silence like usual, like nothing was wrong- like the awkward air laced with un answered questions didn't consume them. "So that's your way of saying everything? In a letter? Is that the all I'm worth...?" Nazz's voice was low.

"No point in saying it in person, you don't care. No one needs me here anyway." Marie spoke with a strong voice but the after taste was filled with hurt.

"You know that isn't true! Your sisters, Your mom, me! We all need you! You can't just get up and leave without thinking of how your actions effect other people!" Nazz's eyes grew wide at the realization she added herself on the list, the letter had made her realize what she was feeling but now it felt real.

"Ah looks like someone finally came to terms." Marie stood up without using her hands. "Nazz I like you, a lot, but you don't seem to notice. If you don't like me just say so, stop…leading me on. Maybe I'm just reading the signals wrong but you coming here every night, letting me hold your hand, walk you home...Kiss you. All of that stuff, to a normal person, would point to you liking me." Nazz had seen Marie angry but it had never been directed at her.

"Oh wait! I think I figured it out. It was all in pity wasn't it? Ha! I can't believe I talked myself into thinking you liked me and that I actually had a chance! Like a cheerleader could ever fall for trailer trash, Right?" Marie was laughing now like it was the funniest thing in the world.

Getting over the initial shock of Marie's yelling Nazz stood up "Wait…No Marie that-" The bluenette kept talking like Nazz didn't move.

At this point Marie wasn't even talking to Nazz. "I thought maybe we could even moved together, of coarse I knew that was a long shot but I can have dreams too can't I? Shit, show one little weak spot and all hell breaks lose!" Now she was pacing throwing her arms around as she spoke.

"Why even bother walking across stage tomorrow? If I'm not there they will just send it to me. I can go grab my stuff and head to My new place. Well it's gonna be weird after buying all that shit for you." Marie was still talking loudly but not yelling anymore, now she was staring toward her home. The realization hit her- She could leave Now. No one could stop her. "I can leave…" She starting walking, knowing her bike had a full tank.

"Marie, Marie!?" Nazz grabbed Marie's wrist "Stop!" Blinking a couple times the older girl was brought back to reality.

"Nazz, what are you doing? You've made it clear, you and I aren't a thing and my feelings are one sided. I won't push them on you."

Nazz opened her mouth as to say something but nothing came out. "Have a good graduation, Nazz. I promise, I won't be a bother any more." Realizing Nazz still had her cigarettes she pushed her favorite lighter out of her pocket. "Take care." She reached out and grabbed Nazz's hand she slipped the lighter into it. Marie gave a sad smile moving away and racing home. Thoughts of her new place kept her pace steady.
