Chilly Boulder Ice Cream; Early Thursday Evening.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

After he'd stopped by the store to pick her up, Turtle and John headed over to Chilly Boulder for their ice cream not-date of forgiveness. "Do you think," she asked, tilting her head as she scanned the selections, "that getting a turtle sundae would just be way too cheesy?" She snorted a bit of a laugh. She thought it would be, but maybe cheesy in a cute way, and, surprisingly, she hadn't had enough caramel and chocolate from all those candy bars yet...

"I think it would be just the right amount of cheese," John replied. "I, myself, am going for a double scoop of Double Fudge Brownie."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"And now I want cheesecake with that, too," Turtle chuckled a little. "Double Fudge Brownie sounds pretty awesome, too. Good choice!"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I'm taken with the promise of two desserts combined into one. We'll see if it's as good as it sounds," he said. "OH! I have a business proposal to discuss with you."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Oooh!" John couldn't have gotten a more excited reaction from Turtle if he'd told her she'd just won a million dollars. "Business proposal! Do tell!"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Well, I assume you know about the flag football team I started with Molly?" he asked.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Of course...." Turtle, who had a feeling she knew where this was going, had a big grin on her face. Of course, the big grin was also helped by her order being ready, as well. More for what she felt was coming.

John continued, after grabbing his own ice cream cone from the clerk. "Okay, so I was thinking it would be nice for the players to have some sort of uniform or team shirt. However, since we're not an official sport, we don't get any help from the school."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"So, you want Turtle & Canary to sponser you guys and provide the uniforms, right?" Turtle grinned wildly, paying for her ice cream and then promptly taking a bite, smirking around the spoon.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You read my mind!" he smiled, licking his ice cream cone. "We might be getting two sponsors, so you wouldn't be facing the financial burden alone," he added.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Would hardly be a financial burden," Turtle assured him as she moved toward a place to sit down. "Who else might sponsor?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John was glad this business was going so well. "Molly and I were gonna talk to GOB Bluth at Caritas, too."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Of course," Turtle said with a wry smirk and a roll of her eyes. Arg! Dang you, Bluth, and your most successful business on the island! "Would each of a sponsor a team or something?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"That's one way we could do it, yes. I defer to the business minds for that sort of thing, though."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle looked thoughtful. "Well, the other option would be having me and Mister Bluth just going in on it together...but, I mean, traditionally, with little league teams and stuff, different business sponsor different teams, so, like, the companies get their names on the jerseys. That way, they get a little advertising for their sponsorship."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You'd also have a reason to come watch us play if you were attached to one team," John agreed.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah, but, I mean, I'd come watch you play anyway."

Turtle blinked as she took another bite of her cheesecake dipped in her sundae. "You guys," she amended. "Come watch you guys, anyway."

Smoooooth one, Wexler.

John slurped up some drippy ice cream, totally oblivious to her slip. "Cool. Which team do you think you'd like to outfit - blue or gold?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Well," Turtle said after a moment of thought, "which team are you on?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

[omg icon love!]

"Me? I'm captain of the Gold Team, does that influence your sponsorship in one way or another?" he inquired.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John wasn't sure where this was going. "No, Annette is on the blue team. Where are you going with this?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Just there," Turtle said with a nod. "I would be honored if I could be allowed to sponsor the gold team."


Because that was the one Annette was not on. La.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Great! The Gold Team is thrilled to have Turtle & Canary as its official sponsor," he reached out an ice cream-free hand to shake on the deal.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"And Turtle & Canary is thrilled to sponsor them!" Turtle chuckled a little, beaming as she took John's hand and gave it her best, firm, businessy handshake. Which was quite good. "Pleasure doing business with you, Captain."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John grinned, "The pleasure is all mine, Miss Wexler."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"So, when do you guys practice and stuff?" Turtle asked, diving back into her sundae again. "if I'm going to sponsor, I need to see what I'm sponsoring."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"We practice on Sunday mornings in the gym. It's pretty low-key so far," he said, and set his tongue to work on getting the ice cream out of the cone part.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle's nose wrinkled. "Early Sunday morning?" she asked, because Sunday was, like, the only day she got to ever sleep in.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He looked up from his cone, "Not early early or no one would show."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Good, 'cause I ain't going to an early early practice, either," Turtle said with a nod.
