Chapter 8: The Second Date Part 1

In France

Cupid Jimmy and Cupid Sarah were still in Paris, enjoying the city of love and all it has to offer.

They had just made a man and a woman fall in love with each other and watched as said couple left to go on a romantic date.

"Ah, L'Amore..."Cupid Jimmy said.

Cupid Sarah nodded.

They continued to fly through the beautiful city, looking for more unsuspecting targets...I mean...people who need love.

And the city of love could always use a bit more love.

Just like in Peach Creek, especially after their last bit of match making there.

"Do you think the love for those three boys wore off, denying their feelings with a scoff?..." Cupid Jimmy asked.

"Of course not, mon ami. Those idiots found their soulmates, you'll see..." Cupid Sarah said, confident this would work.

Cupid Jimmy seemed satisfied by this and nodded.

"Let's head to the louver. And continue to spread our love through the city!..." Cupid Sarah cried out.

"Oui oui!..." Cupid's Jimmy replied as they soared away

They were out to use their magic on others, and it looks like . the city of love was going to be a bit more lovely.


Back at Peach Creek

After the grand spectacle that just happened in the center of the cul-de-sac, the Ed's and the Kankers had split up to go on their respective dates.

Ed and May would have a simple day of watching TV together, Edd and Marie would go and have a romantic surprise together and Eddy and Lee would go to the movies (and blow all of the bet money he got, much to his dismay)

Why don't we take a quick look at these lovebirds, shall we?


With Ed and May

May Kanker is over the moon.

She is on her SECOND date with the handsomest, sweetest, biggest chunk of man in the land.

Even better, they are holding hands now. She took his hand and he smiled as he held it, and he smiled AT HER.

"Oh, Big Ed..."May thought, smitten with him.

Ed is smitten too and not with the movie. He didn't seem to think about it. He was too busy enjoying his time with her. He just loves being with the buck toothed blonde who stole his heart.

"So May, let's go watch that movie at my house..."Ed said.

May smiled.

Sure, it might sound like a simple date but it's a date with the guy of her dreams, who has made it clear that he likes her too.

"Sure, thing...Big Ed..."May said flirtatiously as her new boyfriend took her there.

To his house.


At Ed and Sarah's House

After finally snapping out of her shock and accepting the fact that her stupid brother DOES have a girlfriend, the bratty big mouth left, in no mood to those two together or anyone else, with the exception of her best friend, who is following her.

"Are you going to be alright, Sarah?..."Jimmy asked, concerned for her.

Sarah brushed it off.

"I'm fine...I just can't believe that there is actually someone willing to date my stupid brother..."Sarah said, still freaked out about it.

"I know but I guess there is someone for everyone...even Ed..."Jimmy said, having snapped out of his shock sooner.

Sarah made gagging noises, as that sounded like sappy greeting card junk

Even worse, his dumb friends are dating someone too and Double D is with that blue haired girl. Sarah refused to admit any feelings of jealousy, so she just settled for being bitter right now. The bratty little girl soon marched home, with her best friend in tow.

However, as soon as they came in, they heard Sarah's mother talking to someone.

"So you're her, huh?..."The mother said, sounding like she is from the kitchen.

"Yes, I am Mrs. Ed's mother..."Another voice said.

A voice that Sarah heard only 15 minutes ago at the most.

"Is that?..."Jimmy asked.

Sarah frowned as she practically dragged him to the living room. Soon enough, she saw that it was May, who was still holding her brother's hand as they talked to their mother.

Their dad is currently at work right now, so it looks like her mom is meeting her. What confused Sarah is that her mom is SMILING right now, at the blonde girl.

"You're even prettier than Ed said, Mrs. Ed's Mom..." May said sweetly.

"Oh... why thank you..." She responded, flattered.

It irked the spoiled girl greatly, as she did not like this and could barely understand the idea of a girl liking her brother.

Or her mom seem friendly with her?

Now Sarah is confused.

"Does Mom actually like this weirdo?..."Sarah thought, not getting it.

It made no sense.

Sure, she doesn't know much about May but she figured that she has to be weird if she is willing to that her idiot brother.

She figured that she's gotta be dumber then Ed too

Meanwhile, Ed's new girlfriend was making a good first impression to Ed's mother.

"So, May, how do you like Peach Creek?..."The mother asked.

May sent her the sweetest smile she could, as she and her sisters had already practiced the inevitable meeting of the parents scenarios before they even met their boyfriends.

Hey, nothing wrong with being prepared to impress your future in-laws, even if it was way down the road.

Still, nothing wrong with making a good first impression.

Sarah, on the other hand kept frowning. She did not like this. It was rare for Ed's mother to be nice to someone other than her daughter and now there's one who likes her brother.

"I really like it here..." May said in a sweet tone, looking to Ed... "It's got some things I really like..."She said lovingly.

"I bet it's my TV..."Ed said.

"I meant you, Ed..." May said.

"Oh, I like looking at May too..."Ed said.

"Aw, aren't you sweet..."May said.

Ed's mother smiled at this, already liking this girl.

"Well, you certainly seem like a nice young lady..."The mother said.

Ed smiled.

"Can we watch movies now, Mom?..."Ed asked.

"Of course, I don't see why not..."His mom said.

While she usually had to scold her oldest child for getting in trouble or making a mess, it didn't mean that she didn't want him to be happy. Besides, May seems like a nice girl too.

Meanwhile, the happy couple smiled as they soon left to the living room, unable of Sarah's disapproving look.


With Ed

The tall Ed boy was in a happy mood as he brought May to the living room, with a collection of his favorite movies and snacks already laid out.

"Ooh, what have we here?..."May asked upon seeing it.

"A movie marathon for two, just for you..."Ed said in a simple but sweet tone.

"How nice..."May said, approving.

Ed smiled as he decided to do something he once saw in a movie, a romantic scene before it went to the action stuff.

"After you, my lady..."Ed said, doing an exaggerated bow.

May saw this and swooned.

"Aw, you're such a gentleman, Big Ed..."May said as she took her seat.

Ed sat right next to her, and picked up some video tapes.

"So, what shall we watch first? Attack of the 50 Foot TV Tray or Bob: Defender of the Bunyon People? Or something else?..."Ed said as he gestured to his large collection of movies.

He wasn't sure what May would have liked, so he brought a lot of movies and decided to let her choose.

May smiled as she looked at what was on display, before deciding.

"Hmm...I married a Thorax sounds good..."May said to her boyfriend.

Ed quickly placed the video inside the VCR and quickly ran back to the couch, accidentally tripping over the coffee table but he wasn't any worse for wear.

He quickly sat next to his girlfriend as the obligatory film previews began.

Soon, the young couple were sitting together on the couch and holding hands as they saw the first part of the previews, enjoying their alone time as they saw the first part of the previews.

"I like this..."May said.

"Me too..."Ed said happily.

May smiled and looked away from the screen. She rested her head in Ed's shoulder and pretended to watch the movie, really just taking her time to admire him.

Ed noticed and blushed. He sweated a bit at her making googly eyes at him. But he liked it.

A lot.

"This feels nice..."Ed said and May smiled wider.

"It's because we're together..."May said coyly.

"Ed likes that a lot..."Ed said in a fit of infatuation.

May heard this and giggled.

"Awww, Big Ed, you're making me blush..."She said sweetly to her boyfriend.

"I'm sorry..."Ed said, making May laugh again.

"Don't be..."She said.

She felt so happy but she had a question on her mind she had to voice.

"Do you think your Mom likes me?..."May asked.

She was pretty nervous about meeting her boyfriend's mother so soon, and very grateful that she remembered to use antiperspirant today.

She really wanted that woman to like and approve of her, after all, she IS going to be her mother-in-law one day, especially at the rate things are going with Ed.

She just had to know for sure.

Ed, being clueless, just nodded.

"Uh-Huh. Why wouldn't she?..."Ed asked.

"Just askin'..."She said, while on the inside, she thought the following thing.

"Because I love you and wanna be with you and I don't want to deal with your mom hating me.. I'd hate that..."May thought.

She saw his simple smile and sighed on the inside.

"He's so clueless, but he's adorable..." May thought before getting comfy again.

She knew that she wasn't the smartest of her sisters but she paid attention to things and wasn't as dense as they like to tease. She knew that she wanted to be with Ed and she wanted his family to like her too, since they may become her family some day.

Meanwhile, Ed merely smiled at her and nodded.

"If my Mom didn't like you, she would have said so..." Ed told May.

"Really?..." May asked.

"My mom is always talking about what she doesn't like about what I do. You're not one of them..."He said.

That was all May needed before she relaxed. She then decided to get romantic and placed her hand on top of Ed's. The tall boy blushed as he felt butterflies in his tummy at this contact. May saw this blushing and smiled as her heart beat fast.

She took that as a sign of love.

"I feel like I'm in heaven..."She whispered coyly into his ear.

Ed blushed and smiled, before he decided to repeat a movie he pulled yesterday. He pretended to yawn and then gently placed his arm over May. The blonde girl grinned silly-like at this and and sighed happily as she sighed into his chest.

She felt bliss.

"You DO love me, don't you Ed?..."She thought happily.

"Ed likes watching movies with May ..."Ed said as they continued watching the movie together.


A few minutes later

The previews had ended and they were now watching the film together, snacking on food and drinking pop together.

A very simple and nice date.

Ed still had May under his arm as they continued to watch the movie on TV. As the title implies, I married a Thorax is pretty much a romantic comedy with mutants and what not.

Something that both of them could enjoy.

Ed laughed as he pointed to the screen.

"This part is the best..."Ed said.

May saw it and grinned.

"Yeah, it is..."She said, watching as the main character encountered the "thorax" monster.

Ed, despite already seeing the movie, was happily viewing it with May and making comments.

"This is the part where their brains get eaten..." Ed said as the people on the screen were screaming.

They watched as the movie with cheesy effects even for its time did its attempt at gore.

"This is so dated it's funny..."May said before her eyes darted to her love.

"That's what make is good..."Ed said.

The screams of terror on screen couldn't block out the feelings the two kids felt. Their hearts beat fast with joy than fear. Not that anyone could be frightened from the movie, noted by the boy and girls laughter.

It wasn't long before Ed and May cuddled together as they kept watching the monster movie.

It was great.

Just a boy and a girl watching a cheesy monster movie together, nothing more.

And speaking of monsters, a certain bratty red-head and her little toadie came into the living room

"ED!..." Sarah yelled, making Ed jumped up from his place on the couch and landing to the ground on his feet, like a scared kitty cat.

He saw his bratty little sister as she stood in front of the television set.

"Yes, oh lovable sister with the same mom and dad..." Ed said, sounding nervous.

May, on the other hand, looked annoyed that their fun date was being interrupted. Sarah frowned, looking at him and May, before starting to bark her usual orders.

"Mom said that you've been here long enough, so you and your dumb girlfriend move your butts out of the living room, its time for Jimmy and I to watch our show..."Sarah said in a bossy way.

"That's right, it's time for the Polly Poo-Poo show..."Jimmy said, expecting Ed to give into their demands like he always does.

So did Sarah, and she also expected someone who turns out to be attracted to her dumb brother to be just as much of a pushover as he was.

To her shock, May got up and looked mad at them!

"You can't tell Ed what to do!..."May said, surprising Ed and even Sarah.

"What did you say?!..."Sarah said, not liking someone talking back to her.

May is not intimidated by her. Compared to dealing with the likes of both Marie AND Lee, Sarah is practically nothing.

"I said that you can't tell Ed to leave, this is his house too. And your mom said that we could watch our movie in here!..."May said, worrying Ed.

"Um...May..."Ed tried.

He was cut off when Sarah snarled like a wild animal before she "calmed down" and marched into the room like she owned the place.

"Oh, is that so?..."Sarah said, crossing her arms.

May crossed her arms too, frowning at her.

"What a little brat!..."She thought.

Sarah leaned in closer, with a dangerous, threatening smile on her face.

"Look sister, you're new here, so I am gonna make it clear on what is gonna happen. You guys are gonna leave or I'm going to call for my mom and I will tell her that you and Ed were being mean to me, which means he'll be grounded and you have to leave..."Sarah said with a threatening smirk, while Jimmy giggled.

May was really mad now. She is always pushed around by her sisters due to being the youngest of the Kanker sisters, so she wasn't going to let this little brat think she can push her around too, especially a kid as spoiled as this one, who was hiding behind her mom just to push her Big Ed around.

Not on her watch.

Ed looked nervous, while May looked like she wasn't going to back down.

"May, let's just go watch movies in my room..."Ed said as he took her hand.

May shook her head and stood her ground.

"That's not going to happen..."May said as she looked Sarah directly in the face.

"You should go somewhere else, go play with your dolls or something..."May said in a warning tone.

She didn't want this to get dirty, since she was trying hard to impress Ed's mom but this little brat is begging for trouble. She'd do it if it weren't for Ed's mother.

"What'd you say?..." Sarah snarled.

"You heard..."May said, feeling her temper rising.

Sarah, angry at the fact that SOMEONE had the nerve to talk back to her, turned red and growled.

"I said... MOVE IT!..."Sarah yelled.

May didn't. Sarah, now furious, snapped.

"Alright, you asked for it weirdo!..."She shouted, swinging her arm wildly and throwing a punch.

Due to years of rough housing with her sisters, May saw it coming a mile away and dodged it, surprising Ed.

Even more as the end result was Sarah's first going into the wall.

Ed was stunned.

"Wow!..."He said as he looked at May.

All the while, Sarah found herself stuck like this.

"Hey, I'm stuck!..."Sarah said, trying to pull it out.

Before Jimmy...or Ed, could bother to try and help her, Ed and Sarah's mother came rushing in.

"What is going on in her?!..."The woman said, only to see her youngest child with her fist through the wall.

"SARAH! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING IN HERE?!..."She yelled, outraged.

Sarah paled at the sight of her angry mother, who wasted no time in pulling her out of the wall and lecturing her.

"M-Mom..."Sarah said, not used to getting yelled at by her.

She's suppose to yell at Ed, not her!

"What happened in here?..."The mother asked again.

"She barged in here and tried to get us to leave, threatening to tattle to ya if we didn't..."May said quickly, before Sarah could form an alibi.

"WHAT?!..."Sarah exclaimed, unable to believe that for once, she was the one being tattled on.

Ed was silent, still stunned by this, while his mother looked furious.

Something unexpected.

"You are coming with me, young lady!..." She said sternly.

"But Mom, she was mean to me, and she was yelling at me and Jimmy. All we wanted to do was watch our cartoons..."Sarah said, giving puppy dog eyes.

Unlike every other time before, her mother didn't buy it.

"Young lady, I told you that Ed and his girlfriend were having a date in here and not to disturb them..." The mother said strictly, revealing Sarah's lie.

"But Mom..." Sarah whined

"And you put a hole in my wall! You just wait till your father comes home young lady, you are in so much trouble!..."The mother yelled.

Sarah did not like this, her mother never raises her tone with her. It terrified her.

Ed was stunned by this whole thing. This was a really new experience for him.

Meanwhile, the mother turned to Jimmy, who was cowering silently during the entire time this berating happened.

"Jimmy, go home. You can see Sarah tomorrow..."She said.

Jimmy nodded sadly, walking away.

Ed and Sarah's mom looked to the young couple, particularly May.

"I'm sorry about Sarah's intrusion. She's usually a very well-behaved child..."The mother said, sending a stern look to her daughter.

Ed knew that wasn't true but his mom didn't know better. May, on the other hand, sent a look at that.

"I doubt that..."May thought, since she knew this brat was a faker.

Still, she had an impression to make here to Ed's mom.

"It's okay ma'am, I have sisters too. . I understand..."May said, trying to look as sweet and innocent as possible... "I'm not bothered..."She added, with her hands behind her back to look cute, and when no one looked, sent a smug look to Sarah, who still couldn't believe this.

Ed's mother smiled. Not expecting her to respond like that and like with Sarah, she was oblivious.

"What a polite young lady..." She thought.

It was a good thing May didn't give in, as she didn't want to leave.

"You two enjoy your movie..."She said sweetly pulling her youngest away.

Once she was gone, Ed turned to May, who smiled innocently .

"So, wanna watch more?..."She asked.

Ed nodded with a blank expression on his face and the two went back to the couch.

Still, May had to ask the following.

"Is she always like that?" May asked, gesturing to the girl who sent them a dirty look as she was dragged away.

"Always... but that's the first time she didn't get away with it..." Ed said.

He still couldn't believe that someone managed to stand up to Sarah and for once, HE didn't get beat up or grounded for it.

No, May was special..

She's amazing!

"You are amazing..."He said.

"Oh, thank you..."May said, flattered.

"You were like Captain Spider against The green fungus.. You were amazing..."Ed said, in wonder.

"Aw, you're so sweet, Big Ed..."May said before she leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.

The tall Ed boy felt happiness in his heart before he smiled..

A blushing Ed was looking lovesick and dopey now. May smiled and giggled with a red face..

She would have liked to have kissed him on the lips, but Ed's mom could walk in at any time and that'd be kinda awkward. Besides, this is only their SECOND date.

Maybe, next time..

"Let's go watch the rest of our movie, Honey..."May said lovingly to her boyfriend.

Ed smiled and nodded.

"Okay...Bunny..."Ed said, still lovesick.

May heard the little pet-name and blushed, practically squealing on the inside.

"He called me Bunny...Oh, Ed..."May thought as she felt like she was going to faint.

She loved that nickname. She loved everything about the big, lovable Ed boy.

She then sat next to him, snuggling closer to her man, who held her tighter while they continued the rest of their movie date.


With Marie and Edd

While Ed and May had their date, Double D and Marie were getting ready for theirs. Marie was unsure what to expect, since Double D said its suppose to be a surprise.

And Kankers don't like waiting, so she tried to coax her new boyfriend into telling her.

"Come on Double D, what is the big surprise?..."Marie asked, giving him a cute look.

"I apologize Marie but I do not wish to spoil the surprise..."Edd said.

Marie pouted, before a mischievous smirk came to her face.

"Looks like I have some lips that need loosening..."She thought as she tried to turn up the charm.

"Come on, Cutie. Just tell me..."Marie said in a flirty voice as she fluttered her eyes at him.

Edd blushed and gulped as he tongue tied around her again .

"Um...uh...eh...um..."He let out before shaking his head.

"I am sorry, Darling but I don't think I can..."Edd said.

Marie wasn't backing down though.

"Not even for a kiss..."Marie said flirtatiously as she even puckered her lips.

Edd's widened and gulped as he felt his body tense up at that question. He got tongue tied again but managed to find his voice before she could try.

"D-Darling, as much ad I'd be honored to receive a kiss from you, we mustn't move so fast..."Double D said, sweating... "This is, after all, our second date and even so, a first kiss is special and it should be saved for the right moment..."Edd said.

Marie heard this and frowned, but considered what he said. As much as she'd love to kiss him now, maybe it is too early.

"Fine, but can you just tell me are going, at least?..."Marie asked.

"I am sorry but I want to keep things a surprise..."Edd said, trying to keep things a secret.

Marie pouted and sighed. Still, she cracked a smile, finding him finding him cute trying to be all secretive like this..

"He's so cute..."She thought.

She was so glad she managed to snag him yesterday. However, before they could enjoy their romantic escapades, Edd recalled something that he has been meaning to tell her.

"Uh, first thing first, Marie. I mentioned you to my parents and they would like to meet you..."Edd said.

"Really?..."Marie said, pleasantly surprised and maybe nervous.

Sure, she expected to meet his parents one of these days, but this is their second date. He must really be in love with her if he wants her to meet his parents already.

"Yes, I told them about you and they are eager to meet you..."He said.

Marie was a little taken back by this but despite it all, she was flattered.

"He must really like me..."She thought, giddy.

She felt that and a tiny but relieved that Edd is being serious about her, enough to take this step.

Even if it's a little soon.

"Well, alright..."Marie said as he lead her towards his house.


At Edd's house

They soon arrived to Edd's house and were getting ready to meet his parents.

"Here we are..."Ed said as he smiled at his blue haired girlfriend.

"Nice place..."Marie commented, trying to sound casual.

She wasn't ready for her pumpkin to know that she has already seen this place back when she had admired him from afar. Oh, she plans on telling him that...AFTER they are married and with a couple of kids of their own.

She didn't want to freak him out too much. She took a big chance just yesterday, even if it all worked out.

"Here we go..."Marie said as she held his hand.

"Shall we?..."Edd said as he escorted her inside.

As they approached the house, Marie was having second thoughts about this.

"I really hope that they like me..."Marie thought as she checked herself over.

"Oh man, does my hair look all right? Do I got something in my teeth?..."She asked.

She worked hard on today, she even used breath mints and her mom's perfume too, just to impress Double D.

Now she has to impress his parents.

"You look simply radiant, Turtle Dove..."Edd .

"Thanks, Boyfriend..."Marie said, loving the compliment.

Deep down, she didn't want Edd to know how nervous she was. She is usually very confident and has never cared much for what others thought about her, except her pumpkin here.

But there are his parents?!

Sure. she and her sisters have prepared and practice how'd they act once they were introduced to their boyfriends parents, in order for them to automatically love them and see them as perfect future daughters in law.

But she is still nervous about meeting her boyfriends parents.

What if they don't like her?

What if they thought that she wasn't good enough for their son?

What if they were snobs?

What if wanted him to date a smart girl?

Oh boy!

Edd, being smart, saw that she was nervous and tried to comfort her.

"You needn't worry. You look beautiful. I am sure that my parents will adore you..."Edd said.

Marie blushed at being called beautiful. It made her heart beat fast and reminded her that she is so lucky to have this cutie-pie all to herself.

"Oh, Double D~..." She thought, smitten.

She quickly kissed him on the cheek, making the sock-headed boy blushed bright red just then.

"Thanks, I needed to hear that..." She said sweetly.

Edd smiled

"For you, my dear. I'd do anything..." He said gallantly.

Marie giggled and felt more confident. She felt ready to face anything now.

Even her boyfriends parents.

Besides, she is a Kanker, she is tough and she can handle this. She already won Edd's heart, so she can easily win over his parents but she had to get this right.

This had to be perfect.

"Come on Marie, it's just two grown ups. You can do this..."She thought as Edd escorted her inside.

"Mother? Father? We're here..."Double D called out.

"In the living room, Dear..."His mother called

"You got this..."Marie thought as they walked into the living room.

There, they saw Edd's parents sitting in the living room, with a tray of hour dourves and tea.

It was clear that they were expecting them.

"Please let them like me..."The blue haired Kanker girl thought as she took a breath to calm herself and remembered the dozens of times she and her sisters practiced their first impressions to their future in-laws.

Marie used all the confidence she could muster and kept holding Edd's hand as she spoke to the two adults.

"Hi, I'm Marie Kanker..."She introduced herself, mentally repeating "Please like me" and glad she used her good clothes and remembered to use deodorant today.

This had to go right.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Marie..."Edd's father said.

Edd's mother smiled to her son's girlfriend.

"Come, take a seat, Dear..."Edd's mother invited.

Marie and Edd obeyed and now were sitting on the couch, which had plastic on it, which Marie noticed.

"Aren't you supposed to take this stuff off the couch?..."She thought, but tried to look nice and polite her to make a good first impression.

Marie was given a tea cup by Ed's mother and she took a sip.

"Huh, this tea stuff's not so bad..." Marie thought, before drinking more.

Edd's parents looked amused by her actions.

"Well, I suppose you don't need milk or sugar..." Edd's dad said laughing and Edd's mother did the same.

Marie felt embarrassed now..

"Nice going Marie, been here for a few minutes and you mess up!..."Marie thought pessimistically.

Still, she tried to save face and wiped her mouth with a napkin, due to knowing these people might be neat freaks. She had to make a good first impression. She put her cup down and turned to the adults with an innocent look on her face, the same kind she or her sisters use whenever they had to butter up their mother.

"Thanks for the tea, it was...uh...delightful..."Marie said.

Her parents looked pleased.

"You are welcome, Marie..."Edd's father said.

"Would you like an hour dear?..." Edd's mother asked

"Yes please..." Marie said before she took a bite of one of the little sandwiches, eating it at a much slower pace.

She didn't want her boyfriends parents to think she was raised in a barn. Sure, she was raised in a trailer and never cared much for manners unless their mother said so...or she was trying to impress her man, but this is for critical for her love life.

These were Double D's parents.

"So Marie, I don't recall seeing you in the neighborhood. Have you lived in Peach Creek for long?..."The mother asked.

Marie shook her head.

"No, my family just moved here recently..." She told the older woman.

The same woman whom she hopes will become her mother-in-law in maybe 10-20 years time.

The questions continued, and Marie did her best to answer them..

"So, how long have you two known each other?..."Ed's father asked.

"Since yesterday, Father?..."Edd answered.

That surprised his parents.

"Yesterday?..."They asked.

While they believed their relationship was new, Eddward was always a little timid and insecure with girls. They had assumed it had gone on for a week at minimum.

This was a surprise to see that they have been together for only a day.

Their son continued to talk, still looking smitten with the blue haired girl.

"Yes, we met while my friends and I were on my insect exposition and while we found no specimens, we did find Marie and her sisters..."Edd explained everything.

Marie smiled and blushed at this.

"I knew since the moment I first laid eyes on your son, it was love at first sight..."Marie said, being honest.

"And I too felt such a feeling with Marie..."Edd said, sounding lovesick.

Marie swooned at this.

His parents noticed this and had neutral looks on their faces. It was clear that they are in love here and very close, despite not knowing each other long.

"I see..."Ed's mother said as she took another sip of her tea.

So did Ed's father as he looked at the girl and his only son.

"I'm surprised, and proud. I have never seen Eddward act like this. I suppose this girl has quite the effect on him..."He thought.

"Ah, young love..."His wife thought, smiling on the inside.

The conversation went like that for a while, and Marie continued answering their questions, making sure to mind her manners and stay calm.

For a Kanker, that is VERY hard but she managed her best.

Thankfully, as time went on, Marie felt more confident and answered the questions easier and easier, though Marie felt like this was like some kind of interview.

Still, she was determined to make them like her.

One way or the other.

"I gotta do this the right way..."She thought.

Edd's parents soon excused themselves to the kitchen to take the tray away, but Marie knew that they were talking about her.

"Do you think they like me?..."Marie asked.

"Mother and Father will surely love you..."Edd said confidently.

Marie sighed.

"I hope you're right, Oven Mitt..."Marie said, feeling unsure.

Soon, Edd's parents rejoined them, and they both had neutral looks on their faces.

It made Marie worried.

"Oh man, they they don't like me!..."She thought in a panic before the adults started speaking.

"Well, Marie. We've come to a conclusion..." His mother said.

"Yes?..."Marie asked, crossing her fingers.

Edd's parents were silent, before smiling at the blue haired girl.

"We've concluded that you are a perfectly wonderful young lady and we're more then happy that you're dating our son..." Edd's father told them.

Edd's mother nodded in agreement.

Marie gasped in delight.

Her boyfriend's parents approve of her?

"Really?..."Marie asked eagerly.

The two adults nodded.

"Yes, you seem like a lovely, well mannered young girl. You have our blessing to date our son..." Edd's mother said

"Thank you, Mother and Father..." Edd told his parents excitedly.

Marie nodded, feeling relieved

"Yeah, thank you..."Marie said, smiling.

On the inside, she was overjoyed to know that they like her.

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!..." Marie cheered in her head

She managed to impress her boyfriend's parents.

Awesome!

"Marie, would you like to have dinner with us? Say tomorrow night?..."Edd's mother asked.

Marie smiled and nodded.

"Of course..."Marie said, she couldn't say yes fast enough.

She was still glad to see that they like her. It would make her relationship with Edd much easier.

Much easier, if her mother's stories about hated mother-in-laws are true.

She's just glad she dodged that bullet here.

"I guess Mom was wrong. This was easier than I thought..."She thought, proud of herself.

Edd and Marie soon left his house and were now leaving to go on their date.

Marie was still thrilled, to say the least. As well as optimistic for tomorrow night.


With Lee and Eddy

While Ed and Edd handled their own dates, Eddy was busy suffering during his.

It wasn't that he wasn't happy to be with Lee. Hardly, but this is agony..

"My cash!..."He thought, whimpering inside.

As soon as they arrived to the movie theater, Lee broke out the $20 to buy their tickets and was now using the remaining cash to buy snacks.

Eddy was keeping track of her spending, hoping to at least have SOME savings but she is splurging on the snacks.

"Okay, popcorn, sodas, bon bons and those yummy chocolate covered nuts..."Lee said after buying them.

Eddy tried not to yell and just tried to keep his girl happy but his greedy side was counting every cent spent.

Every...single...cent...

"So much money going down the drain!..."He thought, as he also found himself carrying all those snacks too.

Apparently, it was some boyfriend rule that the guy got stuck carrying all his girlfriends stuff.

Eddy wanted to complain but he couldn't. His dad once told him "Happy wife, happy life".

Even if Lee isn't his wife...yet anyway.

"Just keep your mouth shut!..."The greedy boy thought, barely able to handle all all the junk food he was holding.

His girlfriend wasn't seeing his misery.

"Come on, Dreamboat. I don't wanna miss the previews..."Lee called.

"Coming, Gorgeous..."Eddy said as he carried the snacks, trying not to trip.

Eddy followed lee into the theater and once inside, he and she took their seats.

"We're here..."Lee said, happy as her boyfriend sat next to her.

"So, what are we watching?..."Eddy asked.

He had been too busy trying not to cry when she bought the tickets, that he didn't notice.

"Romeo and Juliet in space..."Lee said, sounding excited.

Eddy's eyes widen at the sound of that title.

"A chick flick?!..."He thought in dread.

"Yeah, it's suppose to be great. Real romantic and with a sad ending..."Lee said as she was looking forward to seeing it.

All the while, Eddy tried hard not to curse under his breath

"She wasted my twenty bucks on this garbage?!..."Eddy wailed in his head

Eddy was going to say something, but that's when Lee shushed him.

"It's starting..."She said, excited.

Eddy internally grumbled and wanted to complain even more now.

He was going to say something, but that's when he felt Lee put a hand on top of his and suddenly, he found his heart facing, his palms sweating and his face turning red.

Suddenly, his heart began racing and he felt that same stuff he felt yesterday when Lee and her sisters came to watch the movie with them.

"She's so hot!~..."He thought in a fit of love sickness as he turned to look at her.

Eddy wanted to leave this awful chick flick but there was a smile on his lady's face and he Eddy soon found himself under her spell again and suddenly recalled that she is the single most beautiful, wonderful, amazing, gorgeous girl in the entire world.

And she is all his.

She and HIS girlfriend and no one else's.

"Maybe this won't be too bad..." Eddy thought as he enjoyed the feeling of her hand on his and for once, he kept his trap shut.

Lee, on the other hand, was feeling over the moon.

"I'm the luckiest gal in the world..."She thought, love sick too.

Soon the movie began and Lee and Eddy were now watching it.

As the intro began, Eddy knew it was gonna be a long, sappy story. Lee, on the other hand, is thrilled.

"This is gonna be good..."Lee said.

Eddy tried very hard not to open his mouth and just tried to keep his girlfriend happy. That was pretty hard for him to do, even if he doesn't want to lose her.

Sure, he wasn't happy about all the cold hard cash being spent but he liked seeing his girl happy and that maybe his greedy little heart less greedy at the moment.

"On the bright side, it was Kevin''s money she spent..." Eddy thought, trying to comfort himself

That is a bright side.

Right?
