"I don't think I can do this Eddy." Said Edd as they slowly made their way to Lee and Marie Kanker.

"I don't think I can either." Eddy thought nervously to himself. Whenever he was in front of Lee he had a tendency to freeze up. Usually it was because of fear, but this time it might be something else… "Listen Sock Head; remember what that Lump Ed said before? Girls aren't that scary. Just man up and go for it."

"But… But…"

"But nothing! If I'm gonna do it, than so are you!"

"Oh dear… Oh dear…"

"What now?" Asked Eddy impatiently.

"Marie is looking at me! Now they are both looking at us! We are past the point of no return Eddy!"

Edds stomach was doing summersaults. They were now only a few feet away. He saw a smirk slowly appear on Maries face. It was like she was reading his mind. Knowing exactly what he why he was headed there. Finally they had reached them. "Now What?" Edd thought.

"Hey ladies," Eddy said, feigning confidence.

"Hey boys." Lee said with a smirk. "What do a couple of studs like you want with a couple of girls like us?"

Marie giggled at this, sending a thousand butterflies flying through Edds stomach. "She looks so beautiful when she laughs." thought Edd as he marveled over his crush.

"Well my good pal Edd here has something to ask Marie,"

This got her attention.

"And I got something to ask you Lee." Eddy finished. He had no idea where this sudden burst of confidence had come from, but he was perfectly fine with it none the less.

"Oh?" Luckily for Lee the flashing lights hid her blushing. "What is it?"

"Lee," Eddy gulped, "Will you dance with me?" The question hung around in the air for a few uncomfortable seconds.

"He he, looks like you finally grew a pair squirt." Lee replied as she got up. "Let's show these people how a real couple dances." She then took Eddys hand and walked with him to the center of the dance floor.

"Oh fantastic! How am I supposed to follow up a performance like that?" Edd wondered as they left. Edd gulped. "I guess it is my turn."

Edd then extended his hand out to Marie. "M-may I have this dance?"

Edd barley had an opportunity to think as Marie immediately grabbed his hand and leaned in to kiss him. His body tensed up at first, then immediately relaxed.

"Oh my…" Edd said as he finally pulled away from Maries lips for air.

Marie smirked. "Come on Double D! Let's dance!" She then took Edd to the dance floor.

oOoOo

The music at the party had become that of a never ending rave. Edd hardly had any dancing experience outside of the few lessons his mother had given him when he was younger, and even then he was dancing to slow romantic songs. This time however was completely different. Edd merely emulated what Marie was doing. Normally he would feel rather foolish attempting to dance in such a manner, but at the moment all his focus was on Marie.

After a few songs Edd and Marie went and sat down on the bleachers.

"Hey Double D, do you mind if I ask you a question?" Marie asked as she anxiously shuffled her feet.

"Not at all Marie, what is it?"

"I know that over the years my sisters and I have never really been the kindest to you guys. And to be honest I always thought you guys really hated us. So what made you ask me to dance?"

"Um w-well I saw you dancing with Kevin and well, I um, I guess I felt a little jealous watching you with him. I mean it looked like you two were truly enjoying it." Edd answered, slightly embarrassed at his answer. "And once the music came back on I figured it was my chance to get to dance with you."

"Edd…"

"And I never really hated you Marie. I mean sure you scared the living daylights out of me and my friends, but I knew you only did it because you cared about me." Edd said as he nervously placed his trembling hand atop Maries.

"You're so cute when you're flustered." Marie said right before she went in to kiss Edd for the second time tonight.

oOoOo

The rest of the night passed by in a blur, as the couple easily lost track of the time in each other's presence. It was a quarter to midnight when the dance had finally ended.

"I can't believe she did that! Christ! Dames! Who can figure them?" Eddy told Ed as they walked out of gymnasium. After he had figuratively swept Lee off him feet, she literally did it to him, and planted a big wet kiss right on his lips. "I mean it wouldn't have been so bad if she hadn't done the whole thing in the middle of the dance floor!"

"Ooh look Eddy, a butterfly!" Ed replied motioning to the "butterfly".

"That's a moth stupid! Why do I even keep you around? Hey what happened to Double D?"

"I don't know."

Just as Ed said that, Marie and Edd were exiting through the front of the school, followed by May and Lee. Edd was blushing intensely as Marie's sisters made lewd comments about them, comments that earned Lee a hard shove from Marie.

"Leave my man alone Lee! You're just jealous that you can't hold on to your own guy."

"Um excuse me ladies, b-but I really must get going." Edd stuttered before Lee could reply to her sister. While he had enjoyed his time with Marie being with her sisters was still as nerve racking as ever, and he was desperate to get away from them and meet up with his friends.

"Aw, "Marie said as she gave Edd a tight embrace. "so soon?"

"W-well I promised my mother that I would refrain from staying out too late. And I am sure that Ed and Eddy are waiting for me." Edd choked out from Marie's bear hug. Marie gave Edd a pleading look which made him look away guiltily. "I'll uh, see you Monday alright?"

Maries face lit up as she heard this. "All rite dreamboat!" She said as she released Edd from her hug.

Edd then walked down the steps and waved a quick goodbye to Marie. He then headed to the school parking lot, knowing his friends would be waiting for him there. His prediction was true, as he saw his friends sitting on the hood of some random car.

"I suggest you to hop off of that car, lest you face the wrath of whoever owns this car." Edd told his friends as he approached them.

"Yea, yea, whatever. What took you so long sock head?" Eddy asked as he slid down off the hood of the car. "Too busy sucking Maries face?"

"Your one to talk Eddy, I saw you and Lee making out in the middle of dance floor, as did everyone else."

"Hey she came on to me!" Eddy replied defensively as he began to blush.

"Oh relax Eddy, I was only kidding."

"Whatever." Eddy replied sourly.

"Double D, are you and Marie boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Ed asked as the trio began walking back to the cul-de-sac.

So thats the end of my little edd/marie twoshot. Kinda mediocore ending but meh. Review and flame. Peace out.
