Beach Vacey [On Hold]

Ice Cream I18I

Through the food aisles of the grocery store, I pushed a shopping cart filled with not much in it. Glancing at it, there was eggs, milk... I think I saw some butter, too. Pretty much, it was all that stuff that must be taken home immediately to be stored in its home, the "refrigerator". However, I'm not too sure why we went to the grocery store to get all this... In my mind, we had plenty of food in the fridge... Is this all just an excuse for...

Yet, I wasn't in much of a peachy mood. I was bored of pushing the cart and I hated following Zelda's irritated aura she gave off. Besides that, she won't even talk to me. I try to say something, but she ignores me. But, it's not like it's anything new... So, maybe I should be used to it all?

Completely done with this stroll through this grocery store, though, I sighed, leaning onto the shopping cart as I let my eyes wander off as Zelda analyzed the shelves of bread. We might be here the entire day because of how picky she is, anyway. She demands the best bread, and when I say the best bread... I mean the one that's always out of stock!

We were in the bakery section of the grocery store where there were giant dessert cases and fancy wedding cakes with multiple layers, towering over each other. There were people purchasing small goodies from the dessert cases and children admiring the amazing cakes over their heads. Then, by a small freezer labeled "Ice Cream", was a small girl in a white, sleeveless dress with a pair of white flip flops that caught my eye.

"Oh, please, mommy!" Her blue eyes lit up. "Can we get some ice cream?" Her blonde hair moved with her as she grabbed two ice cream sandwiches with her hands. "Please?!" she begged.

Her mother, who's back was turned away as she stared down at the library of magazines, responded, "No, sweetheart..." She bent down to grab a magazine to observe it. "We're not getting ice cream," she said bitterly.

The girl frowned. "Oh..." Her hands fell in disappointment and she dropped the ice cream sandwiches into the freezer to afterwards slide the freezer's cover close.

Zelda stepped in front of the cart, blocking my vision of the girl and her mother, and dropped a bag of bread into the cart with a rough sigh. "They actually had some in stock, SURPRISINGLY!" She grumbled as she spun around to get back on her track.

I smirked and stood up straight. "That's a first..."

She glanced at me with a scowl plastered on her face and turned away, making a gesture to follow her.

I rolled my eyes and followed her into the next aisle.

...

As soon as I turned into the next aisle, I spotted Zelda holding up a box of cookies, glaring at it as if it were a threat as she muttered curses at it.

I lowered my head and sighed. "What's wrong, Zel—"

She slammed it down and pressed her index onto it. "You BASTARD!" she yelled towards the box of cookies.

I swallowed my breath and stared. "Zelda," I whispered loudly, cupping my hands around my mouth.

She laughed and clutched the box tightly to turn towards me with her gaze still intact on the box. "I just got the coolest idea!" She grinned.

I bit my lip. "What?"

She held the box of cookies in the air and stared at it with crazy eyes. She looked like a child that got a toy they were madly obsessed with for Christmas. "I'll use this to torment Dark with..." She lowered it with a hug. "ONLY to remind him he's stuck in his room!"
