"Are you going to tell me where we're supposed to be going, or just leave me to wonder?" Patricia snorted.

"My dad gave me…" Eddie paused to pull the sheet of paper out of his pocket. "A list!"

"Good job, doofus. What's the first spot on it?"

"Jenks' Bath and Body Palace." Eddie read. "We need more soap, apparently."

"That's easy enough. What kind of soap?"

"Blueberry-pomegranate." Eddie mumbled, embarrassed by his dad's girly choice.

"Are you serious?" Patricia smirked. "My sister uses that stuff! I don't use it, it smells too girly!"

"I swear, I don't use it!" Eddie held up his hands.

"What do you use, then? If you don't use your girly dad's stuff?" Patricia asked, still smirking.

"Some manly-man stuff."

"Right."

"For real though, it's pretty manly. It's peppermint… or something." Eddie shrugged. "I'm not a girl! I have no idea what kind of soap I use!"

They walked into Jenks' Bath and Body Palace together. Eddie and Patricia were greeted by a short girl with wavy blonde hair.

"Hi!" She waved. "I'm Willow! How can I help you on this wonderful day?"

"I need some blueberry-pomegranate soap." Eddie looked down at his list.

"Ooh, sorry we're out right now." Willow sympathetically shook her head. "Can I get you something else?"

"Well, I guess we can look around and see if there's anything else to replace it." Eddie shrugged.

"Let me know if you need anything else!" Willow happily waved again, and then skipped off.

"That girl is way too happy." Patricia commented.

"Agreed." Eddie nodded. He headed to the soap portion of the store. "Hey, Yacker, check this out." He motioned for her to come over. He held up a soap bar for her to smell.

"Ew! What is that?" Patricia crinkled up her nose.

"Goat milk with lemon extract." Eddie smirked at Patricia's reaction.

"Gross. You should get that for your dad." Patricia teased.

"How about rose-scented soap?" Eddie laughed.

"Or daisy." Patricia giggled.

"You guys are really right for each other." Piper rolled her eyes. She seemed to be also looking at soaps.

"You know it." Eddie nudged Patricia. She playfully pushed him back in response.

"Since they're out of my favorite stuff, it looks like I'm getting 'Jungle Mist'." Piper mused.

"Maybe your dad would like that." Patricia joked to Eddie.

"They seem to have the same tastes." Eddie shrugged, smirking. He snagged a bar of 'Jungle Mist'.

"Are you serious?" Patricia laughed softly.

"As a heart attack." Eddie winked at her.

"Whatever." Patricia lightheartedly rolled her eyes. "I'm going to go look at the perfumes. I'll be back in a second, okay?

"Go ahead. I'm going to keep looking at soaps." Eddie nodded. He watched Patricia as she headed off to the other end of the rather large store.

"Eddie!" A voice cooed. "What are you doing here?"

Eddie rolled his eyes irritably and turned around. "I'm here with my girlfriend. Why do I have the feeling you followed us here?"

"What?" Ava pouted. "No! I would never do that!"

"Save it, Ava. I'm here with Patricia." Eddie turned back to the large section of soaps. Piper could hear the two from down the row a little bit.

"But why?" Ava jumped in front of him. "Why do you like her so much? What do you see in her?"

"Everything I don't see in you." Eddie grumbled, moving past her. But she caught right back up to him. "You're like a little bug that won't leave me alone."

"I know that deep, deep down, you like me. Don't pretend that you don't." Ava batted her eyelashes. Piper almost threw up at Ava's flirting.

"I'm not pretending. I really don't." Eddie rolled his eyes.

"But you'd like me if I did this!" Ava said, quickly pressing her lips to his. Piper felt herself gasp.

Unfortunately, Patricia chose that moment to come back, empty-handed. She saw them kissing and immediately felt tears come to her eyes. How could he do this to her?

Eddie finally managed to break away from Ava. He saw Patricia standing there, open mouthed.

"You could've just told me you were really into her." Patricia said, barely above a whisper. Then, she ran out of the shop.

Piper shot Eddie a sympathetic look on her way out to catch up to Patricia. Eddie was slightly relieved that Piper knew the truth, but not much. The chances that Patricia would listen were pretty low.

"You know what, Ava? I've been pretty nice to you because I know how it feels to like someone who doesn't return it. But, you've just ruined everything for me."

"She doesn't deserve you." Ava flipped her hair.

"She does more than you do." Eddie growled, then turned on his heel and took off running out of the store. He needed to catch up to Patricia before she did anything drastic.

Kept my promise, didn't I? This was NOT a filler chapter! Yay! (: Oh, the drama! I actually had a bit of a hard time with Patricia's reaction… I think I did alright, though.

Thanks again to xXAquaMangoXx for the idea!
