It has started with a simple scuffle over a bowl of ice cream (which was exciting enough considering the usual meal options were cornflakes or lentils!).
Neil had obligingly dished some up for Rick before heading back into the garden with the frying pan. 5 minutes later Vyvvan arrived and decided that given the options of a) yelling at Neil to bring him some dessert or b) stealing the bowl off Rick it was probably much more fun to annoy the People's Poet by grabbing it off him.
It took 30 seconds for the ice cream to leave the bowl and end up splashed over the two boys. Especially on Ricks arms, resulting in a screech of rage
"Well, that's nice Vyvyan! That's really nice! Cos all I wanted was to wear ice cream today!"
"Shut up you girly poof! I can still eat!"
With that Vyv lunged at Rick and, grabbing his arm, proceeded to bite the limited flash on his forearm before running his tongue straight through the middle of the rapidly melting ice cream.
Rick's gasp was audible and, as Vyvyan glanced up, he saw the look in Rick's face change from rage to heat and confusion. They stared at each other for a moment before Rick pulled his arm free and, without a word, ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs to his bedroom.
