031- [action] Cool, cool lemonade...

[friendly_ghosts]

[So, Mindy is trying to save up money for something. But when You're seven, there's not too many options. So here you go, Mayfield. A good old fashioned lemonade stand. She's set up a small table with a pitcher of lemonade and glasses and even made a sign. One glass is 15 cents. There is also a tip jar. And anyone who passes by her house will be

[How cute. Lucas will smile a little and dig around in his pocket.]

OK. You must have spent a lot of time on this, Mindy...

[friendly_ghosts]

I did! I made the sign and everything.

[The sign is very enthusiastically colored. It looks like she used every crayon in the box.]

Here you go.

[Have a glass of terrible lemonade and an earnest smile. She really should have tasted it first.]

[a_gentle_boy]

[Lucas would suggest a less migraine-inducing design, but Mindy's too cute to say that to. He hands over the money and smiles.

The smile is maintained as he drinks the lemonade, although his cheeks begin to quiver as if on the verge of puckering. Also he takes an awfully long time to swallow.]

T-Thanks......

[friendly_ghosts]

Do you like it?

[ooeeooahah]

Oh, lovely!

[ Ilsa hands over the coins. ]

[friendly_ghosts]

Thank you very much~!

[Yay, her lemonade stand is doing so well! She pours Ilsa a glass. Good luck.]

Enjoy!

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa sips, and is pleasantly surprised. Others won't be. ]

Hon, how much sugar did you put in the lemonade?

[friendly_ghosts]

......Sugar?

[commie_island]

[Walking by. Oh hey, it's that little girl.]

Sure. I'll buy a glass.

[friendly_ghosts]

[She lights right up.]

Thanks, Mr. Cuba!

[Pours him a glass and smiles proudly.]

I'm trying to save up money for something.

[commie_island]

Gracias.

[Holding the cup.]

Oh yeah? What are you saving up for?

[friendly_ghosts]

A kitten!

I asked Santa for one for Christmas, but.......

[She trails off. Christmas didn't work out that well for her.]

Well, I thought if I just saved up money, I could buy one at the pet store myself.

[Hi, he is extremely tall with huge angel wings. Though that leads into...]

....I believe I may need more than one glass, child.

[friendly_ghosts]

Wow.... A real live angel...

[She's seen a lot in Mayfield. But somehow there's always something new.]

Are you really thirsty? Or is the other glass for a friend?

[She'll pour him two glasses.]

[emperorsangel]

I am not a real angel. I'm simply human, like you. As for my thirst, one glass seems a little too small.

[friendly_ghosts]

But, if you're not a for real angel, why do you have wings?

[enemyradar]

[Rise is drawn in by the sheer cute. Smiling, she hands over the money.]

I'd love some!

[friendly_ghosts]

Sure!

[Rise is lucky(?) enough to have come after her first mistake was corrected. So now there is sugar in it. Too much though. This tastes more like lemon candy than lemonade.]

[enemyradar]

Thanks!

[Rise drinks it. ...Oh. Despite how overwhelming it is, she puts on that good old idol smile.]

Say, um...how much sugar did you use?

[friendly_ghosts]

Oh, well, Miss Ilsa told me that people would like it better if I put a cup of sugar in it. So I thought they'd like it even more if I put in two cups.

[She is clearly very proud of this idea.]
