Sure she could have gotten the pack gum or something but it wasn't the same as putting in a few knuts then tackling the machine to the ground and giving it a few well placed kicks.

Ahem. Not that she planned to do that this time. Nope. This time the machine would cooperate. She had a feeling it would because she needed to make peace with it.

As she approached the candy machine she found a boy standing there. Was he there to give the machine looks for trying his luck? She'd never seen him before--what if this was his first time in the candy shop??? He wouldn't KNOW that the gumball machine hardly EVER played fair!!!! He could lose his knuts and she wasn't sure he was aggressive assertive enough to get it back. Something needed to be done. "Hello there!" She offered him a smile. "Come to pick a fight with the gumball machine?"

Tucker didn't realize that someone was talking to him at first, and when he DID finally hear someone talking to him, he turned to her and blinked. What? Picking a fight with the machine?

Tucker hadn't had a TON of interaction with kids his age, except the kids on the block where he lived. Was this normal conversation?

"Umm...what?" he asked, looking from the girl and back to the machine. Now that she said that, he kind of half expected it to grow fangs and try and bite him. Eep! That wouldn't be good...
