Chilly Boulder, Saturday Afternoon

[boneyard_girl]

It was colder weather than what Ada had ever experienced, but that didn't stop her from going for her ice cream fix for the weekend. She'd noticed unfamiliar voices around dorms as she was leaving, but had chalked it up to not actually knowing all of her classmates as well as she should.

And so she was ensconced at a table, a nice big sundae in front of her. It was entirely possible she had cleared them out of sprinkles for the moment, but, well, everyone else would have to cope. Though she was enough of a sucker soft-heart that she'd buy ice cream for any kids that made big eyes at her.

Gwen had no parents here and felt like ice cream would be the perfect energy boost to play some more, and so here she was.

"That's a lot of ice cream," she said knowingly, eyeing Ada's sundae.

[boneyard_girl]

"I know, yeah?" Ada said, admiring it for a moment. "'T one kid behind the counter said there was no way I could finish it, but I'm aimin' to prove him wrong."

She glanced up and behind Gwen, her brow furrowing for a moment. "You walk here by yourself?" she asked, assuming the child was some Townie's kid that had wandered off.

[stacyexperiment]

"Yep. I'm big enough," Gwen said matter-of-factly. "When you want ice cream, you go get ice cream."

[boneyard_girl]

"True, that," Ada admitted, not that she'd have any idea how big 'big enough' was for non-carnival kids. "You need a boost up to the counter to see the menu?"

[stacyexperiment]

"Oh, I know what I want," Gwen told her. "All the chocolate, syrup, sprinkles, and three cherries. Oh, and whipped cream."

[boneyard_girl]

"Um." Ada looked at her own sundae, slightly guilty. "Don't know what flavor sprinkles they got left, sweetie. But let's get you some ice cream. You order, my treat."

[stacyexperiment]

"Okay," Gwen said, and looked up at the person behind the counter.

And then back to Ada. "Ummm. Do you remember what I just said?"

[boneyard_girl]

"Chocolate-chocolate with syrup and three cherries and whipped cream," Ada replied, conveniently leaving out sprinkles. "Extra whipped cream, actually."

[stacyexperiment]

"And sprinkles!" Gwen added. Go figure, a kid would remember that.

[boneyard_girl]

Kid, you were killing her, you know that? "And whatever sprinkles you got today," Ada sighed, hoping there were some in their back room. "Please. For Miss--"

She glanced down at her new friend. "What's your name, sweetheart?"

[stacyexperiment]

"Gwendolyn Maxine Stacy!" she said proudly. "What's yours?"

[boneyard_girl]

Wait, what?

"Ada," she said carefully, looking her tiny new friend over. "Ada Miller. You got any adults lurkin' around Miss Gwendolyn Maxine Stacy who're gonna yell at me for lettin' you have all the ice cream in the store?"

[stacyexperiment]

"Nope!" Gwen said, eyes widening. "Can I really have all the ice cream in the store?"
