Chapter Text
Their eyes locked, like two magnets.
Both of them observing the other’s features. To them, the other was one of the most fascinating things they have ever seen and they have seen some pretty interesting things in their lives so far.
It was Stan who spoke first. “Who the heck are you?!”
“Who the heck are you?!” Eda yelled back.
“I asked you first!”
“I asked you second!”
There was a long pause until one of them decided to speak again. Since it was very clear that they were getting nowhere by just yelling at one another.
“So… What’s your name?” Stan asked as he rubs the back of his neck nervously.
Eda just snorted and replied “Why should I tell you? I was told not to talk to strangers.”
“You already had though, you noticed that, right?”
Well, he wasn’t wrong.
“Touché. I’m Edalyn Clawthorne, people called me Eda!”
“That’s a weird name.”
“And you have a weird face.” she snapped back.
“Hey!”
“Shut up and just tell me your name now.”
“I can either shut up or tell you my name. I can’t do both.” Stan replied just so he can get on her nerves. If Grantie Mabel was here, she would have told him that he has been spending too much time with her brother.
Eda just sighed “Tell me your name, please.” she only added on the please part, to try and stop him from being so annoying.
“I’m Stanley Pines, my friends call me Stan through.”
“...Can I call you Stan then?”
“Depends, can I call you Eda?”
Even though they just meet and they both keep trying to get others' nerves, they found each other quite interesting. Heck, this could be Eda's first friend. Not including King, Hooty, and Ms. Noceda.
“Sure.’
“Then sure.”
“...Friends?” she sheepishly asked.
“Friends!
They could tell that this was going to be the start of a strong friendship.
