Kevin's eyes widened in surprise. "Eh, well I guess I never noticed you two out on the lanes." He tucked his hands in his pockets seemingly unsure of what to say at this point. "Or anywhere else I've seen the two of you." He cocked his eyebrow at the pair his face starting to relax into his normal sarcastic smirk.

Edd had slowly finished wiping his arms from the fall to the floor, thinking it over quickly. Marie could almost see the lightbulb in his mind click on when he figured out what she was doing. She had to stop herself from rolling her eyes. Given his reputation for being such a brainy type he was slow on the uptake some days.

"Actually Kevin you would not have seen us on the lanes, as you say. We come here to conversate to avoid the knowledge of our friendship becoming public. The history between our families in this town isn't well known as a great one." Edd looked at Marie apologetically. Kevin watching the dorks' face for any signs of a joke. He would not tolerate being set up by someone thinking to take him for a fool.

Marie leaned past Kev and tugged on Double Dee's shirt, pulling him back to the seat next to her. "Have a seat the both of you. We should talk about this before it gets out." She eyed Kevin meaningfully. Marie was not going to let this opportunity slide past to morph into something else. "Edd And I have been talking out our past differences and we've come to the agreement this boils down to Lee and Eddy. Those two go at it like something could actually be happening."

"Lee's aggressive nature and Eddy's over the top reactions make us wonder if there is an underlying cause. WE have been trying to develop a way to get the both of them over it so that we may live our lives somewhat more peacefully. Would you happen to have any input on that Kevin?" Dee said as he caught hold of an inkling of a plan. The more people involved the easier it would be to reach their actual goal. Kevin's inclusion may have been a god send.

"Err… Well They are always fighting like cats and dogs. Lee seems to be the dog chasing the cat though. They are both so cocky… " At this point Dee snickered and Marie rolled her eyes. " What about a dating game booth at the fair? Like those old tv show dating games ya know?" He rolled his eyes and blew out an exasperated breath. "You know, they sit the girl off to one side of a wall and have the three dudes on the other side? Only they really can't see who she is."

"The variety of males contestants unable to see the female who is asking the questions? How would that work in our favor Kevin? I am not implying that your idea does not have merit only that their voices and additudes would come across without a visual confirmation." Asked Dee looking like he wanted to get out a note pad and pen.

"Well we could do voice-overs so they wouldn't have a clue who they were trying to impress. If they like each other as strangers then this should work. Either way we get it out in the open and they deal." Kevin leaned back in his chair on two legs looking self satisfied. Marie reached over with a foot and nudged him enough to make him wobble. Windmilling his arms to regain his balance Kevin dropped back down on to all four chair legs.

"That's neat and all but we're going to need more people. Singling them out isn't going to help and I'm not volunteering to go be a fake dude for my sister to question. How about we post sign up sheets in the lunch room and make an all day thing out of this. We could even set up other people we think are hiding a thing for each other." Marie looked at Dee who was chewing on his lip thinking.

"The funds for this could be raised by entry fees and each winning couple could get some kind of small prize of tickets and a voucher for sweets from the food vendors. I would think of it as an instant date." Dee looked around with a slight frown belying his idea. "How do we know if it works out though? It's not like we can pass out an informative questionnaire after the date."

Kevin snorted as Marie covered a giggle. "They'll be all over each other if it works out Double Dork. Haven't you been on a date before?" Kevin looked sidelong at the lanky geek. "I take it you two aren't dating then?"

Marie grinned outright. "I said we came here to talk out difference Kevin. Would you take a date out Saturday morning to bowl with a ton of obnoxious elementary school children running around like this?" She gestured to the continued crash of pins and squalling kids with tired looking adults chasing after lost balls rolling away from the madness.

"Well yeah if it was a special date, Marie. I mean it's a lot of fun helping Sally learn how to bowl. It helps team work, hand and eye coordination and it tests my patience in a good way. If someone could do that with me and see what I see out of it then yeah. I would bring someone here to have a date." He had crossed his arms over his chest defensively, daring either one of the other teens so tell him he was wrong. Dee had looked out over the lanes but Marie propped her chin on her hand watching him thoughtfully. "That's almost cute Kevin." Marie said, not mockingly for once.

Holding his hands out in front of him Dee stood up. "Very admirable Kevin. However I think we have made our plans and I must be off or I will be missed and our plans will be for naught. Should we need to put our heads together further please text em. Marie has my number Kevin, you may have it.' Stepping more carefully around the chair this time Dee hurried off to the doors, absently dodging a few run-away children in the process.

"Does he always leave like that?"

"Yeah Sometimes he even managed to say good bye normally." Marie shook her head still looking at the door. "So do you have your phone on you?"
