"Sugar-Coated Study Aids"
Summary: Mattie helps Harm with the grocery shopping.
Note: This is a story about my favorite study technique. Thanks reviewing chris-tonks, Sarai, Nighthawk5, harmsgirl and Alison. cmaf, my only excuse for not posting more is that it's summer and I'm feeling lazy.
Disclaimer: Harm, Mac, etc. are not mine, so don't sue me because I have an imagination and too much free time.

Harm almost didn't notice that Mattie had snuck something into the cart as he pushed it down the aisle at the grocery store, but she made the mistake of looking back to see if she'd gotten away with it.
"What did you put in there?" he demanded, stopping the cart.
Mentally berating herself for getting caught, Mattie plastered on an obsequious smile. "Just my sugar-coated study aids."
"Sugar-coated WHAT?" he repeated, picking up a cereal box to uncover the bag she had hidden, "Those are M&Ms."
"Yeah, they are," she conceded while furiously thinking of what to say to convince her guardian to buy them. "I use them as a study aid—every time I finish a paragraph in one of my summer reading books, I get an M&M."
"Where did you get that idea from?"
"Jenn uses gummy bears."
Harm sighed, "Couldn't you find something healthier?"
"They're peanut M&Ms. Peanuts are good for you."
