Ice Cream & Girl Talk (OPEN)

[Annabelle Merlin Grace]

RP CONTEST
Anyone is welcome to jump in at anytime, but I needed to do some writing to get back into the game.

So things where not so much exciting at home, and lets face it Hogwarts always had something to do. However Annabelle did enjoy the time not studying, and not doing work. However her dad was always working, she honestly did not see him that much anymore, sometimes in the morning for a quick cup of tea or in the evening she saw him eating a sandwich. She felt the distance between them, but let it go.

So she decided to send Miranda a text message, so nice to have no limitations like at school. {ice cream @ FF?} she send to her, not sure where or what she was doing at that time anyway. There was so many benefits of being a witch, even if she thought she did not use it that much. She often traveled with it, lets face it walking or riding a bike there? Not that cool. However she was in the mood for a nice chill down, and some girl talk too. She had her thoughts about summer boys and out of school style.

It was about ten minutes later that she got her response, {g8t, meet u @ 2?} she read it and smiled sending a quick reply to confirm. She had to get ready! Lets face it the fuzzy flip flops she wore around the house where not going to cut it. So she scooted around the corner to her room and changed into something cute, and cool. She decided on greens with her green stripped tank top that was so long it went right over her rump, the cute skirt she picked out was a lighter green and had some ruffles that it looked like a dress all together. It was too hot for a bunch of accessories, so her hand bag would do the trick there. Then some cute strappy sandals and she was good to go.

So about ten before two she jumped ship and headed to the ice cream parlor. She used the floo network and arrived in a puff. Her hair was a bit frizzled, so she headed to the ladies room first thing. She brushed it out, and used some hair product to tone down frizz and she was good to go. She stared looking over the flavor lists, they where so many!

Miranda was out with her folks looking at some weirdo cape for her brother, that was so not fun. She got a text and smiled, it was like being in the real world again. Hogwarts was so behind the times. It was Annabelle, they had really got along at school, and had exchanged cell numbers for the summer. They lived a bit far away from each other, but magic makes things way easier to keep in touch.

She asked her mom and she just waved her and ok type thing as they where way more interested in their son at the moment. Melinda was over at one of her friend’s houses, at their pool, why she did not tag along was still a question in her mind. Anyway she was not to far from the parlor so headed out on her own without much more then a “c-ya” to her family. She had on some skinny jeans, and a black and white stripped tank, her hair up and a high pony as she had her phone in front of her texting away, like any normal 13 year old girl would be.

{g8t, meet u @ 2?} she sent to Annabelle and kept on her way, she got a quick answer and she was glad to have something to do. Annabelle was fun for a 6th year, good she would be turning to a 7th year? Miranda could not wait to have her own life. As soon as she was done school she wanted to travel to all around Europe and well everywhere.

SHe found her way to the ice cream parlor at 2 exactly and headed inside to find Annabelle looking at all the flavors. “Bet you could never eat all of those flavors.” She said from behind, and rightfully so, you may not want to eat some of those flavors, grasshopper green just did not sound that great to her.

“God, you saved me from shopping with my parents and brother. So you still contemplating the world, or ready to order?” she asked with a smile.

Annabelle turned knowing that it was Miranda right away. “You are probably right, but it doesn’t hurt to try… well it might.” She said looking at the list, Jammin Jaxs had a punch in it, literally.

“I do my best.” She said turning with a curtsy and a smile on her face. “You already knowwhat you are getting?” she asked seeing as Miranda just came in, and she had spent maybe five minutes still looking it over.

“I think I got it, I am going to go for the Coconut dream with pineapple topping whip cream a must, and two cherries on top.” She smiled thinking about how many other ways she could have gone, “O, maybe CnC with peanut topping would be good too…” she had decided that she wanted a Sunday of sorts. “Got to have a topping, that is the best part.” She said looking them over again, just as many flavors was just as many toppings.

She laughed a little, “Maybe I will get more then one flavor…” she said looking at boo berry, chocolate heart, and Almond Kiss.

[Miranda Vine]

Miranda smiled, “yup, I don’t worry when it comes to ice cream. I go with the flow, and if I don’t like it, well I can always get something else.” She srugged her shoulders. “However you got me thinking about a topping, I usually go for the waffle cone myself, adds a little crunch.” She said looking at the toppings, “eh, I will just wing it. “ she laughed and headed to the counter.

“Hi.” She waved at the person behind the counter. “May I get the Crushing Fresh ice cream with crushed almonds and caramel hot sauce. Whip Cream and some jimmies on there to.” She said thinking about how good it would be, Crushing Fresh was a frozen ice cream with yogurt and seasonal berries in it, so it was different all the time. HE got it together for her and she gave him the money and smiled at Annabelle, “Your turn there girlly!” she joked.

Annabelle liked how confident Miranda was about things, lets face it ice cream was not the life or death decision that she made it out to be. “Okay, I got it.” She smiled and headed up next. “In a cookie shell I would like Coconut Dream, Bittersweet fudge whip cream and two cherries, please and thank you.” She said with a smile the decision had been made. While Miranda might just go get a new one, Annabelle was taught a bit differently, you eat it or nothing at all.

She paid the man and the girls headed t o a table to not only enjoy their ice cream but the show of boys and talk style too. Anything other then school.

“This is great.” She smiled taking a bite, fudge on her face she started to laugh, and wiped her chin off. “So what have you been up to? I visited my grandparents last weekend, which was fun. I mean they are great but in small doses.” She said taking slow bites once and a while. “Love your shoes, where did you mange to find those, are they comfy?” she asked checking them out a little more.

The ice cream was a great choice, however Annabelle not only managed to get some fudge on her chin but her hair flew into the whip cream when someone opened the door. “I must look like a real winner.” She said taking a cloth and wiping it out of her hair. She took a few hair pins and tied it out of her face. Not so neat, but it did the job.

[Miranda Vine]

“ You are so goofy.” She said as they headed to a seat. Annabelle was something else, she talked so fast sometimes that Miranda did not think she even knew what she was saying. However she did give her props on enjoying that ice cream. Miranda’s was a lot of watermelon, she asked strawberries, maybe pineapple, but it was all good. It was a burst of flavor with every bite, you can’t go wrong with fruit blends.

“Went to the beach with my sister a few times, we tried to sneak away to a Hawaiian beach but as you could guess someone got wind and fouled that plan. Once I have my license I will go wherever I want whenever.” She declared, that was still a few years off.

“Really? I got these out of a mag, Bluefly. I will send it your way if you want. They cot some awesome shoes in there, but my dad said I can only get two pairs for the summer. Typical right?” she sighed, being pressed down by her parents was not any fun, and it wasn’t like she had that much choice at school, lousy uniforms.

“OH, You have some of the cutest skirts, how on earth do you find them at the right length, I hate the ones that are like supper mini, and then the other old lady knee length is so not cool either. “ she said having seen a few of Annabelle’s wacky outfit combinations this one was really quite good.

[Annabelle Merlin Grace]

“That is cool, sometimes I wish I had a sister, it gets kinda lonely at my house. You should visit sometimes, my dad is hardly around, works way too much. Sleep over!” she laughed, “I don’t have too many things but got a TV, and a boombox.” She said with a smile. Yes, it was an old radio…

“Sure, that would be cool.” She said knowing that she could not possible buy anything that was in that magazine. However it would give her some new ideas.

“Thanks, I made it myself. I make a bunch of my clothes. It is super easy, and not to mention … cheaper with is great on a budget.” She said saying cheaper a little lower. “It is great because you can totally pick your fabric and make it the style that you want. I mean it takes some time to get right, but I manage.” She had many days of pin pricks, and still did seeing as she had yet to invest in a sewing machine, she still did them by hand.

“SO, what flavor did you get anyway?” she asked not getting any hints from the menu on what it was. It did not look that bad either. In fact she would be winning to give that one a try sometime, that of course if it was any good.
