Stein was in his lab, the lights dim except for the bright light shining over the operating table. Ah yes, he was going to dissect the body of a two headed dog. Something that mutated and was born with two heads…that should be interesting.

Stein smiled eerily as he gazed down at his new specimen. Everything was ready to go; it was time to start the experiment.

He lowered his scalpel to the dotted line starting near the dog's chest. Yes….

CRASH!

A loud sound from the other room caused Stein to freeze in place; he growled a bit; frustrated that he had been interrupted.

Silence.

Smiling once more Stein moved back to slice open his newest project again but was cut off by yet another distracting sound…from the kitchen.

Ugh, the kitchen. Why did that place seem to be the disaster zone? It was obviously Marie. He considered for a moment to leave her be, but decided to go see what she was up to instead. The primary reason for his decision was that she would keep being a distraction if he didn't figure out what was going on. Sighing, Stein dropped his scalpel and trudged out of his lab.

Walking up to the kitchen, he saw Marie over by the sink struggling with something, but he couldn't tell what.

"What on earth are you doing Marie?" Stein asked.

Marie whipped around and in the process hid her right hand behind her back.

"Um…n-nothing." She said with a blush on her cheeks. "Did I bother you?"

"I was working on an experiment and I heard some noise, so I came to see what was going on." Stein explained.

Marie laughed nervously. "W-well it's nothing!"

"What are you hiding behind your back?" Stein asked, stepping up to her calmly.

"I…um….well…" she trailed off before hanging her head and holding out her right hand to him.

Stein sweatdropped.

"I'm stuck…" she said quietly.

Sure enough, Marie's hand was stuck inside a jar that was partially filled with soapy water and a dishrag.

"I was trying to get this spot off the inside of it…but then my hand got stuck…." She said with flushed cheeks. "And I got so angry that I almost broke it!" she whined as her rosy cheeks puffed up. "But then I realized it would just make things worse…."

Stein stared at the problem at hand. Hmmmm what could he do? He could always cut her hand off…hmmm sounded gruesome and appealing in a sense, but no, not to his Marie anyway; he'd save that for someone like Spirit.

"Yes, you really have it stuck don't you?" he said holding her wrist and turning it at different angles. "We're going to have to amputate the problem appendage I'm afraid." Stein smiled cruelly.

"No!" Marie cried, relinquishing her hand.

"I was only joking Marie, but you know, you are going to have to break that jar…"

Marie let out a long, childish whining sound. "But this was my favorite one! It was an antique style one that I bought from a really special company and I used to put little beads inside it to make it look pretty!" she complained.

"You can break the jar or have your hand stuck in there; the choice is up to you." Stein said.

Frowning, Marie nodded her head and grabbed a plastic bag. She placed her prisoned hand inside the bag in order to keep the shards from scattering everywhere. Groaning once more she transformed her fist into a hammer, shattering the glass.

Opening the bag and looking at her broken jar, Marie sniffed a bit. "I really did like it…" she pouted.

Stein sighed and went back to his experiment.

A week later:

Marie walked through the halls of the DWMA with a smile on her face. She was actually still bummed about the jar but when she came to teach and was around all of the students, she couldn't help but feel better.

Walking into her class and up to her desk, she gasped.

There on her desk was the same jar as the one she had broken! It was perfect…

She lifted it up completely overjoyed and noticed a small note tied around it. Picking it up she read it…

I hope you're happy with it Marie. Just try not to get your hand stuck in this one.

Stein.

(A/N: lol my mom has this special jar and it really does look pretty. It's a bunch of different colors, like a stained glass sort of thing almost. She got it from her grandmother…so yeah it's pretty cool….I'VE GOT A JAR OF DIRT! I'VE GOT A JAR OF DIRT! I'VE GOT A JAR OF DIRT AND GUESS WHAT'S INSIDE IT! Ugh….damn you Johnny Depp…)
