Marie looked down, almost cross-eyed, at the box thrust just beneath her nose. She shoved it out of her way, looking instead over at Eddy. "What the hell're those?"
"They're chocolates, what the hell d'you think they are?" Eddy replied, rattling the box for effect.
"They're coconut." Marie sniffed.
Eddy quirked an eyebrow at the blue haired girl. "Uh… no, they're chocolate. Seriously, didn't you read the box?"
"I mean they have coconut in 'em, ya moron!" Marie snapped.
"Hey!" Edd automatically protested the insult before looking at the box again, "Well, yeah, that's why I got 'em."
Marie looked back at Eddy, highly unimpressed. "So you're actually tryin' to kill me?"
"Kill you?" Eddy threw his arms up, the box of chocolates rattling in his grip, "I thought you liked coconut, who's tryin'a kill you?"
"I don't like coconut, I'm allergic to coconut!" Marie rolled her eyes, "Idiot."
"Allergic?" Eddy looked down at the now somewhat battered box with renewed distrust. "Seriously?"
"Nah, I'm just makin' it up fer shits 'n giggles." Marie huffed.
Eddy blinked, then glanced around and located the nearest trashcan—a small, decorative thing squatting by a park bench—and went over to drop the box of chocolates in, ribbon and all. "There. Gone." He said, dusting his hands off with an air of finality.
Marie looked somewhat alarmed. "You're just gonna waste 'em?"
"Well we can't eat 'em, what else am I supposed to do?" Eddy demanded, "Geez, whad'you want from me?"
"You never throw away something you bought 'til you… I dunno, get yer money's worth." Marie said, more quietly.
Eddy shrugged, almost embarrassed. "Well, I mean, I'm not gonna keep something that's gonna kill you or whatever. We can get some different ones 'er something."
In a rare turn of events, neither Eddy nor Marie said anything for a moment or two. Then, Marie leaned forward and pecked Eddy on the lips. "That's really sweet." She mumbled, "For you, I mean."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm a real peach," Eddy rolled his eyes, even as his face flushed, "And hey, you're always sayin' I don't remember shit about you, but I remembered you had something about coconut."
"Yeah, sure, but you forgot the part where I can't have it." Marie scoffed.
"Pf. Whatever." Eddy reached out and grabbed Marie's hand, "C'mon, I said I'd there'd be chocolate and there's gonna be chocolate."
Marie shook her head fondly and went along beside him, never bothering to point out that, as it was past 7 PM, most stores selling chocolates of any kind would be closing soon. Sometimes it was more fun to just let Eddy figure things out on his own.
