It was simply too difficult to keep from laughing at the scene. Kade, covered in light brown goop, with beans plastered here and there all over him. He looked like a cousin to the Swamp Thing. Eve's arms clutched around her ribs, the chuckles growing in amount and volume when beans began to trickle from his hair to run down his cheeks from his head shaking.
"Think that's funny, do you?" he asked, staring her down with a piercing look, the best angry mock he could portray at the moment.
The brunette woman beside him merely continued to laugh, needing to lean against the shelving to keep herself standing. She could hardly take in the air necessary to answer him.
Her laughter turned to shrieks as Kade began to shake his hair out in her direction, sending Bush's Beans and its juices flying at her. She turned to try to outrun the flying mess, but several beans splattered on her face before she could complete the turn. It wouldn't have mattered, in any case, as Kade quickly scooped up a couple of the broken-open cans, and unceremoniously overturned them above her head, dousing the woman in the baked beans.
The slick, gooey side dish coated her hair, her skin, and her clothes within moments. It left her speechless to suddenly find herself wearing food. Kade, on the other hand, had burst into laughter of his own, seeing the widening dark eyes of his companion as she realized what he had done.
"Kade!"
"What? You had that coming!"
Eve shook her hands off, flinging bean juice off her fingers. Licking at her lips, she found them covered in it as well. Tasty. And it gave her an idea. Fight fire.. with fire.
"Well, you know what this means, right?"
Kade's hand paused from trying to swipe some of Bush's Baked Beans off his face. "No..?"
With lightning-quick movement, Eve had grabbed a bottle of ketchup off the shelf nearest to her left, and deftly, the top was popped open by her sticky fingers. An instant later, and the tomato condiment was flying through the air, the pressure behind her double-handed squeezing making the protective disc underneath the cap burst away within the bottle. Ketchup hit Kade square in the face and had caught the arm that was still trying to clean up the mess on his cheeks.
"This means war!" she declared with a wide grin.
"You're going down, woman!" Kade lunged toward the mustard, disrupting several of the containers while grabbing one, twisting the cap open before pointing and shooting it toward her. It landed in criss-crossed lines over her top, but it hardly kept her from retaliating. The ketchup squirts were sailing in his direction just as swiftly.
The pair of them shouted at one another, laughing and shrieking as the red and yellow condiments soon made a chaotic picture along the shelves, the floor, and the two combatants locked in the midst of battle. The mess soon began to make it difficult to stand properly while shooting their chosen weapons, and Eve began to take off further down the aisle.
Kade followed, the mustard continuing to be his best attack for the moment. At least until Eve exhausted the ketchup and decided to pick up a bottle of raspberry vinaigrette dressing, the pinkish salad addition soaring toward Kade in frenzied arcs. He dodged it as best he could, not wanting to smell like fruity salad dressing, but he couldn't get out of the way fast enough. The erratic movement did, however, send him toward the mayonnaise, and a squeeze bottle of Helmann's was soon in his grasp, shooting back at Eve.
The brunette shrieked when the mayo hit her, throwing the dressing bottle at Kade's mayo one to knock it off-kilter and out of his grasp. As Kade bent to scoop both bottles into his hands, Eve gathered a glass jar of hamburger pickles, unscrewing the cap as quick as she could, and Kade soon found himself on the receiving end of a pickle chip shower, the sliced pickles being thrown at him ninja-star-style at first, then by the handful. Due to the accumulation of 'ammo' on him, quite a few of them actually stuck to his body. He advanced toward her with purpose now, squeezing both the mayo and the dressing bottles in her direction, ducking as many of the pickles as he could.
His boot hit a puddle of brine from the pickle jar, Kade slipping from the sudden difference in traction under his foot. He skid forward, knocking into Eve, and the pair of them tumbled to the floor, Kade letting out a great deal of air from his lungs when Eve fell on top of him.
Shock lasted for a few seconds, but neither could stop themselves from laughing at the state they were in and the mess they'd created.
"You look almost good enough to eat," Eve commented through her chuckles, flipping her goop-covered hair over her shoulder. He was a complete mess, they both were, but he simply couldn't look any more comical even if he tried.
Kade tried to shake out his hair like a dog would, splattering her even more with the contents coating his strands. "Then c'mon and have a taste." Raising an eyebrow, she took him up on the offer, dipping her head down to his to lick at his lips slowly. It was enough distraction for Kade to remove the pickle jar from her fingers, and overturned it above her head. He erupted into laughter at the high-pitched shriek that escaped her throat when she jerked back from him.
Her fist slammed down into his chest as she grumbled out "Asshole" while shoving off of him, trying to stand up. Kade couldn't stop laughing, but he helped her up as best he could while getting up to his feet as well. At least until they heard a booming shout behind them.
