futurepop:

      “Definitely! Though, my dad says I eat a lot of weird stuff so I don’t know if you’d like it.”

   “I guess it would depend on the ice cream and gummies used.”

futurepop:

      “Definitely! Honestly one of my like, favorite things to do is mix gummy bears into my ice cream.”

   “That actually sounds like an interesting combination. Neat mix of textures and flavors there.”

futurepop:

     “Totally! I really like ice cream, but candy is my absolute favorite.”

   “Candy can be pretty nice. They come in so many interesting flavors.”

futurepop:

     “Oh, I eat them all the time. Maybe more than like, real food.”

  “Hm, well at least you know you’re getting your craving in.”

futurepop:

     “Great!” After ordering their treats and paying for them, she turns her attention back to Saima. “Do you like sweets? Because I just love them.”

  “I really quite enjoy sweets. I tend to have them rather sparingly but I do enjoy sweets when I let myself get one or make one.”

futurepop:

     “I think I’m going to get strawberry and…mint! What do you want? I’ll pay.” She thinks it’s the least she can do since they introduced her to this place.

   “I think I’d like chocolate swirl and peanut butter.” That was a combination that seemed to fit their tastebuds today. “Ah, why thank you for paying. I really appreciate that.”

futurepop:

     “Saima? That’s a pretty cool name.” After entering the shop Eve immediately runs to where all the flavors are. “They have so many!”

  “Thanks, Eve.” It was always nice to hear people liked their newest alias, just reassuring that it fitted them especially well. Nonetheless, they joined Eve at the selection of flavors. “Oh definitely – it’s always fun to see what kind of flavors you can go for.”

futurepop:

     “Then lead the way!” As they begin to walk towards the parlor, it occurs to her that she should probably introduce herself. “I’m Eve, it’s nice to meet you.”

  “As you wish.” They respond with a smile before leading the way towards the parlor. “Nice to meet you, Eve. I go by Saima.” It’s after a couple of blocks that they arrive opening the door for Eve.

futurepop:

     “Um, maybe the mall?” There is a pause as her face lights up, appearing to think of an even better idea. “Or somewhere that sells ice cream!”

  “Somewhere with ice cream sounds perfect right now. I think there’s a parlor not too far from here.” They speak while checking their phone for a location and nodding to themselves a bit as if confirming their suspicions.

futurepop:

     Eve nods as she rests a hand on her cheek. “We should go inside somewhere! At least we’ll have air condition.”

   Saima gives a slight nod.“Sounds like a plan – some air conditioning would be great. Where’d you want to go?”
