Upon arriving, Cynthia immediately went to look at the flavors they had. Though she'd already seen them before, she was willing to read them all again, just in case she changed her mind. "Hmmm," She said to herself, reading of the endless selection. A few minutes later and, nope! She still wasn't sure what to order. Luckily, other than Al, no one was really here, so she wasn't holding up a line like at the bakery.
John
The woman working at the ice cream parlor simply smiled and said "Welcome!" Before continuing to stock up the cups and covers. "Is there anything I could help you with?" The woman asks seeing as she was having trouble deciding. "We can offer you free samples if you'd like to try our flavour of the month". Al smiles at Cynthia not paying attention the the woman working behind the counter the woman sees this and smiles. "We also have a couples cup if you'd like to try it" Al if he had a drink his had would spit it out comically at this moment. Fortunatley to the people who worked there he didn't so he just stuttered.
Sarah
"Couple's cup?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "What kind of ice cream is that?" She had ice cream almost every day, so might as well buy something that she wouldn't normally be able to order, right? She looked at Al, who was also kind of flustered, and shrugged.
John
"Oh it's an ice cream cup with four scoops of ice cream with toppings of your choosing and a choice of a chococolate heart. It's very popular amongst couples." The woman explains with a smile while Al's face reddens and looks away.
Sarah
"That sounds perfect!" Cynthia said, brightening up. She was mainly talking about how much ice cream was in the bowl, completely ignoring the implied romance behind it. When she turned and saw how red Al was, she paused. "Oh... Are you okay?" She asked. Maybe it was a bit much for him.
John
"Oh yeah no I'm fine" Al sees that she dosn't seem to get it and he relaxes a bit. "Wow you're gonna eat all that by yourself?" He asks with a smile.
Sarah
Cynthia punched him in the shoulder, rolling her eyes. "No, of course I'm not. But if you really don't want to eat any... I could just order a single scoop and be on my way?" She smirked. "You're call."
John
Al chuckles rubbing his arm before putting his hands up conceding. "Okay okay fine we'll share, we'll share." Al looks at the different flavours of ice cream then looks to Cynthia. "So you pick two and I pick two?" Al asks looking back at Cynthia quickly making a descion.
Sarah
"Absolutely," She said... "Um... What flavor should I pick?" Agh, here they were again. Yeah, nope. She wasn't going to do this whole process again. So, before she could think about it too much, she closed her eyes and pointed to two random flavors. 'Oh no, what did I just pick?' Luckily, she picked Strawberry and Vanilla.
John
Al chuckles at her indecivness once again. It's one aspect of her he's always found rather cute. "Still indecisive as ever about ice cream I see" Al smiles as he orders chocolate chip and prainlines and cream. The woman nods a begins to start making the cup using a waffle cone to do so.
Sarah
Cynthia rolled her eyes a bit. "Come on, I'm not that indecisive am I?" She paused. "Alright, perhaps I am..." Yeah, she definitely was, though sometimes struggled to admit it. "Well, should we sit and wait, or... Yes, we should sit," She decided. She gave him a look that said, 'see, I'm learning,' and went to sit down at a table in the corner.
John
Al smiles and sits down taking the seat in front of her. "Wow that was quick" His tone still very much teasing but it had a sense of pride to it. "I'm so proud of you" He sniffs dramatically wiping a non-existent tear from his eye. "You've change so much in these last few seconds"Al breaks character by laughing. "So what have you been up to since we last saw each other? You besides you becoming champion?"
Sarah
"Oh yeah. I promised you a life story huh?" She asked. "Well, okay. So the big thing I did after becoming champion was travel the world. I went to other regions, met other people, and even challenged a few leagues. I never sought to be a double champion or anything, since it sounded like a lot of work. So instead, I decided to focus my life's efforts on research and the history of Pokemon." She smiled a bit. "And, finding love always came second to me. To be honest, I was perfectly content to stay single."
John
Al was heavily interested in what Cynthia had to say and was suprised to hear that they had very much gone through the same process, though Al becoming a part of his reigion's Elite four. "Oh... So you're not interested in anyone?" He asks a bit disappointed as he goes into an awkward silence which was broken by the woman setting the bowl of ice cream on the table.
Sarah
"Like I said. I WAS content to stay single. I was pretty lost in my work and dedication to being the champion, so I never imagined I'd have time for romance. I came here because I needed a break from my region, and all the people with predisposed expectations for me. But, in the end, I guess I found something better than a bit of sunlight..."
John
Al raised an eyebrow curious as to what she could be refering to. "Oh really? What's that?" He can guess her answer but he hopes that's what her answer is but not knowing somethign drive Al crazy so he asked.
Sarah
She leaned forward and gave him a kiss. Not intense, but not to brief. Just a kiss on the lips.
"That's why." She said, smiling, and a little bit red beyond belief.
