A/N: Prompt was for someone giving Eddy a jawbreaker as a birthday present. So, I thought to myself, why not everyone?
.
It's good to know exactly what to get someone and where to get it from– especially if it's free. Such are Kevin's thoughts as he snags a jawbreaker from his garage and heads to Eddy's, spinning it on his fingertips and whistling.
"Hey, Kevin!" Nazz greets from behind as he's letting himself into the backyard. "Whatcha got there?"
"Birthday present," he says, holding it up for inspection. "What else?"
She frowns at the jawbreaker– is she going to get onto him about not wrapping it? Her own gift is snug under her arm, done up in pretty paper and a big bow. Her own very round gift…
"Aw, man, tell me you didn't," he groans.
"I hate to say it, dude," Nazz says with a giggle, "but I think one of us is gonna have to change." Less giggly, she adds, "And I actually paid for mine, so…"
"Come on–"
"Oh, jeeze."
Nazz and Kevin turn to see Sarah and Jimmy approaching, both looking unamused and hauling a jumbo-sized jawbreaker between them. Nazz gasps and Kevin slaps his free hand to his forehead. They all stand there, staring at each other. Then–
"Have fun following this act, suckers," Jimmy declares as he and Sarah to rush past into the yard.
Nazz and Kevin squawk and scramble to follow, elbows jostling. They run right into Sarah and Jimmy, who've stopped dead just inside. Their attention is on the deck, where Double Dee is trying to keep the rest of Eddy's gifts from rolling off the table.
Eddy himself waves and bounds over to the new arrivals, all of them cringing. Everyone gathered is looking pretty sheepish, Kevin sees as he avoids eye contact.
"Hey, gang, no worries," Eddy assures them with a grin, eyeing his spoils. "My feelings ain't hurt at all."
