2:47 pm at the Malt Shop with hip 50’s hop music jiving in the bg:
Kurama and Raven walk into the parlor and up to the counter.
Kurama: We’ll take a Malt, what flavor would you like, Raven?
Raven: I’ll just take an herbal tea.
2:48 pm in the back room of the Malt Shop:
Sally Sue is dressed up like a cook and madly mixing bananas, ice cream and sodas while laughing maniacally.
Sally Sue: HAHAHA! *pulls out a bottle of love potion and taps a few drops in* I know this is a bit of cheating, but they’ll thank me for it later. It’s just a light dose so it will only last temporarily, but after it wears off they’ll realize they discovered their true feelings for each other! HAHAHA *whips up a beautiful sugary masterpiece and sprinkles it with sugar and tops it with a cherry*
2:52 pm at a booth in the Malt Shop:
A fancy ice cream soda adorns the middle of the table with two straws protruding in opposite directions from one another. Kurama and Raven rest their arms on the table with the fancy ice cream soda hiding their hands. Raven lifts her arms bringing to her lips a cup of All Herbal Tea that rests in her hands. Kurama acts similarly with his own cup.
Raven: I suppose the ice cream soda wasn’t needed.
Kurama: It’s just for show.
*They continue to simultaneously sip*
2:56 pm still in the Malt Shop:
A bell rings as the door at the entrance opens. In walks Hiei. Kurama and Raven shift their eyes to survey the newcomer, seeing it is Hiei, Kurama immediately turns his head to face out the window. Hiei looks around and notices Kurama and walks up to their booth.
Hiei: Why Kurama, imagine finding you here of all places.
Kurama: ^^;;; Well heh heh you know…
Hiei: It looks like you decided to start Dating…
*Hiyono pops up to spin and twirl and sing for her big cameo* Outside the window, Kira kira kira ki, Sally Sue falls down, from a leafy waving tree.
The three look outside with the sound of rustling bushes for a moment, but having missed seeing the actual fall of Sally Sue, brush it off as nothing and turn back to each other.
Hiei: As I was saying, good for you…why don’t you introduce me to your girlfriend?
Suddenly Raven sprays out the All Herbal Tea in her mouth with eyes popped wide open, Kurama is now drenched.
Raven: Now look here! Two people can sit down around a bowl of ice cream with out being a couple!!!
Kurama: *sigh* *wiping off face with napkin* If you must know Hiei, we are undercover on a mission at the moment.
Raven: *out the side of her mouth* Kurama! He could be with the suspect.
Kurama: Don’t worry, I trust him. *scoots over on the bench* Come sit Hiei, we need to look inconspicuous. *Hiei sits by Kurama* I trust you have a reason for finding me here.
Hiei: Of course. I thought you would find it interesting to know of strange occurrences taking place in Demon World at the moment.
Kurama: Ah, you will have to inform me later when it won’t distract my attention. In the meantime, would you care to eat this ice cream? Neither Raven nor I care for it at the moment.
Hiei: *eyeing teasingly Hiei-style* Did I ruin your appetite? *pokes at the mountain* What is it anyway?
Kurama: It’s like the snow from Yukina’s village, but with an immense sugar proportion…kind of like “sweet snow,” you know?
Hiei: hm… *starts to sample it*
2:59 pm Outside in the bushes under a leafy waving tree:
Sally Sue: NO! My plans are ruined!!! ToT That was meant for Kurama and Raven to share!
2:59 pm at the Booth after Hiei ponders over the Fancy Ice Cream Soda:
Hiei: Hmmmm! This is extraordinary stuff.
Kurama: Yes, it could probably even cool that hot temper of yours on a stressful day ^^;
Hiei: THAT’S IT! *Slams Table causing Kurama and Raven to chibi-fy and flip backwards like Peanuts characters* I HAVE FOUND MY TRUE LOVE!!!
Kurama and Raven: Oro? O.o
Hiei: *wraps arms around the fancy bowl and draws the mountain of fancy ice cream into the spot directly in front of him at the booth* This “sweet snow” you call ice cream!
Kurama and Raven anime fall in place.
Raven: *out of patience* eh. What time is it?
Kurama: *looking at watch* 3:01
Raven: hm……
Will the expected suspect show up? Will Kurama and Raven discover Sally Sue’s devious plot? Is Hiei now forever bound by the bonds of love to fancy ice cream sodas?
