Molly was sitting near Sherlock while he worked at the microscope. She was eating a bag of candy while observing him.
"Could you please refrain from making that horrid noise?" Sherlock snapped.
"Um, I wasn't making any noise besides breathing, but I can hold my breath if you like." Molly took a large intake of breath and held it.
"Stop being juvenile." Sherlock demanded. "It is only cute for so long until your face gets purple."
Molly released her air. "Sherlock, stop being a sour patch kid."
Sherlock looked up in confusion. "What?"
"You heard me. Stop being a sour patch kid."
"I've heard drama queen, and girl, but never sour patch kid."
"Let me explain." Molly held up a piece of her candy. "This is a sour patch kid. These crystals all over it are sour. When you put it in your mouth like this," She put it in her mouth and cringed. "See? It's sour, but once you suck on it for a while, it's sweet."
"I'm still not seeing what this has to do with me. How can I possibly be compared to a sour covered confection that becomes sweet and sticky?" Sherlock inquired.
"You say rude things to people and hurt their feelings. That is represented by the sour. Then you realize that you hurt that person and apologize. That is the sweet." Molly replied.
"So, to sum up, first I'm sour then I'm sweet?"
"Exactly." Molly smiled. "Sour patch kid?" She offered the bag.
John came into the morgue to find Sherlock and Molly on the floor laughing.
"What's with the two of you?" John asked. Then he saw the three empty bags of sour patch kids. "You two are on a sugar high."
"Don't bother me, John. I'm in my sweet phase." Sherlock said.
"Your what phase?" John inquired.
"My sweet phase, John! Try to keep up. I was sour earlier and now I'm sweet. Molly never has a sour phase. She is always sweet."
"Okay. Whatever you say. I'm going back to Baker Street. Come back when you are ready to talk sense." John left quickly.
Molly and Sherlock burst out laughing.
"I think we need more sour patch kids." Sherlock stated.
"I'll get me secret stash." Molly jumped up.
