She sat, shoveling ice-cream into her mouth until finally she'd finished the bowl.

"Merlin..." Guess that was the end of ice-cream for her but vomit was the worst flavour they could find...right? So she might not even need another bowl anyway. "I think this is the first time candy's ever betrayed me. You never see chocolate frogs doing something like this."

Lex leaned forward in her seat and watched him picking. "I think that's the last one. You see anymore?" That awful flavour might have found someway of messing with her eyesight. If he was done then they could get back to tasting and he could pick her flavour carefully.

"No, but sometimes they hop out the window," he said about the chocolate frogs. But they were guaranteed to taste like chocolate and never vomit, so Lex still had a point. "You've never gotten vomit before?" Because for someone who ate as much candy as Lex did, he was sure she'd come across it in her lifetime, right? Maybe she'd just gotten lucky.

Until now.

Aidan sifted the beans carefully through his fingers, and rolled them all around the plate to make sure no dark greens were left. There weren't. "Nope. All gone. Taste gone, too?" Because if so... "Take that white one," he pointed.

Chocolate frogs jumping out windows? Blasphemy, only not really because Frank jumped through her bedroom window and she was forced to eat him afterwards. Good think Alice was so understanding, huh? "I haven't. Normally I don't sit and work through a box of these. They don't exactly taste good, there's better candy out there." Was it bad that she half never believed people who said they'd eaten a vomit flavoured one? She thought they were JOKING!!!! How does one have vomit but no chocolate????

Lex watched him get rid of the last of that stuff. Good riddins. Never again. "The taste's gone. So's my ice-cream." She glanced over at the empty bowl. It just didn't seem right--althoooough, there was nothing in the rules that said she couldn't have another bowl...

No...he still hadn't touched his first bowl. She was done hers. No more. White this time. Well this would be interesting. It could be any number of things which didn't leave her very enthused after that last one. Still, she popped it in her mouth and waited to gag...and waited but it didn't happened.

"Mint." Very much needed after that last one. She would have thanked him but chances were he didn't give her a good flavour on purpose soooooo, "Try that orange one." That one seemed safe.

She had a point. Lex was smart enough not to waste her time on potentially disgusting candy when there were others that were guaranteed delicious to eat. Like sugar quills and peppermint toads and, of course, chocolate frogs.

But then again, this was her idea.

Blink. Lex's ice cream was gone. She didn't have to eat THAT much. Merlin. And she better not think that, should she come across another disgusting bean, she was going to eat his ice cream. No way.

Now the white bean. Aidan watched curiously as she ate it. ...Mint? He smirked. "Good thing, too, you needed it." A breath freshener after the vomit. Sure, there was ice cream, but nothing beat a mint, right?

His turn. He put the orange bean in his mouth and puckered immediately after the first bite. "Ear wax," he informed Lex. She was still writing these down, right? This was need-to-know information.

Yeah...she saw the look he had when he found out she'd eaten all her ice-cream. It was hers to finish, wasn't it? He might have eaten his whole bowl too if he'd eaten a vomit flavoured bean. How did one stop after just two or three spoonsful of ice-cream? Easy, you didn't.

Lex updated the list while she waited on him to tes the orange one. Maybe she should have given him that amber looking one, orange couldn't have been all that bad. Could have been some citrus fruit of some kind--

Waaait....

Puckered lips and a few seconds without words. She sat forward, quill ready and an eyebrow raised. It couldn't have been a good flavour judging by his reaction but what flavour was it?...Ear wax? Sniiicker. Not nearly as bad as vomit but she'd take it. "You gonna be needing that ice-cream then?" That wasn't exactly something you wanted lingering even after you've swallowed. "And you never picked my next flavour." Or was he tired of not knowing what else he'd run into?

They needed to find the chocolate flavour but she had a feeling that brown one might have been MUD. Uuuuugh.

Ice cream? Psssssshhhhhhhh. Aidan obnoxiously chewed the bean, trying to not let it touch his tongue too much, but he was not wimpy enough to go for the ice cream. Hah.

He swallowed. Then swallowed a few more times, hoping pure saliva would wash away the flavor. Honestly, though, it wasn't as bad as the fish was.

"Oh right." Lex's flavor. The Ravenclaw scanned the plate, searching for a particularly interesting flavor to force down his friend's throat. "Green with red spots." It looked like Christmas, so it couldn't be that bad, right? And besides, they knew what mint looked like now, so she could eat one of those if it was nasty.

YOU SEE WHY SHE WOULDN'T BE HAVING ANOTHER BOWL OF ICE-CREAM???? Just look at him over there chewing without much care for what he was eating. No more. She wouldn't be taking anything else, no matter how horrible the taste was. Nope nope nope. She scribbled ear wax onto the parchment then picked up the one he chose.

This was pretty, pretty candy always tasted good. He was getting better at this picking the flavours thing even if she wasn't.

It took her only a second to figure out what it was and she was scowling immediately. The flavour was one thing, but having decided that she would eat this without problem just as he had she realized how difficult this would be.

Her nose wrinkled. "Dirty sock, a really dirty sock." And now she felt sick all over again. How could anyone call these candy??? They were a disgrace to sugar!!! Only a handful of these tasted nice, what even?????? It stayed in her mouth for a while longer before she finally swallowed. Note to self, pretty candy lied. Lex scribbled the next flavour down then pointed to a speckled white one.

"Give that one a try." And her eyes might have rested on the ice-cream but she wasn't about to ask for it.

"How do you even KNOW what a dirty sock tastes like?" Aidan stared at her. That was still gross, though. He was certainly glad he didn't get THAT.

But there were some truly awful flavors in this box, so when he picked up the speckled white bean, he only took a nibble out of it at first. Not the best idea, though, there wasn't much to taste out of such a small amount. So he popped the whole thing in.

And a smile spread across his face. "Sugar cookie." It was NICE. He was going to savor this one.

Meanwhile..."Brown," he pointed. That was for her.

That was a very good question. "Easy. Got one stuffed in my mouth when I got into a fight with this kid from my old Primary School. I decked him after that, got sent to the Principal but it was worth it 'cause he got sent to the nurse." Of course, if she was being honest...this bean probably tasted better than his sock...

If she ever ran into him again she'd have to let him know, probably let him taste it too.

But more importantly, he was trying another--whaaaaaaaaaaat? hvbxkxhgdfhkvbydfv!

-___-

She got a flippin' dirty sock and he got a bloody sugar cookie?? She was DONE with these things. Absolutely done! They were biased! This was the Gryffie table, if they wanted to pick a side, shouldn't they have picked hers??? Lex looked at Aidan, then at the brown bean. If this was mud she was spitting it out and going to find better candy elsewhere.

A little hesitant, she reached for the bean and popped it in her mouth...

.......

...........

"CHOCOLATE!!! Dude, you're the best!" She happily chewed away at the bean, forgetting all the bad flavours before it. After scribbling it down she began picking out the other brown ones. This was a good day. "Here." She said, offering him one.
