A/N: I know, I know. Really short. But I was just thinking, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream," and I couldn't get it out of my head. And ta-dah, a story was born! I mean, you gotta love the ice cream guy and his little cart/truck :) Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the banana-cream-pineapple ice cream flavor (which, in my opinion, would taste pretty gross).

It was a one day in a millennium chance when an ice-cream cart appeared in the middle of the woods where Artemis and her Hunters were hunting. It was complete with fifty different flavors (as boasted on one side), a red-and-white striped umbrella, and a very confused ice cream salesman.

A ten-year-old girl was the first one to spot this phenomenon. "Look! It's an ice cream guy!" A bunch of other girls started to crowd around.

"Where?"

"It is! It's an ice cream guy!"

"He's got fifty flavors!"

"What's banana-cream-pineapple taste like?"

"Thalia, can we go get some, please?"

"Yeah, pretty please?"

Thalia blinked. "Uh, well…"

"Come on, it's really hot today!"

"I haven't had ice cream in, like, forever!"

"We know you want it too, Lieutenant!"

Artemis cleared her throat. "Hunters, please calm—"

"Lady Artemis! Please say we can get some!"

"We have some drachmas; it'll be enough to buy the whole cart!"

"I have some mortal money, too."

"Yeah, from 1801. I've got five dollars from 2003."

"But it's two dollars a scoop! Only two of us will get any."

"Does anyone else have any currency, say, from 1990 onward?"

"HUNTERS! QUIET BEFORE I TURN YOU ALL INTO JACKALOPES!" Artemis roared.

It was so quiet in the forest you could hear the ice cream man sweat.

"Because the lady's got dibs," Thalia grinned.

Artemis glared. "Lieutenant, this is not a joking matter. Has it occurred to you all how odd it is for this—cream seller to turn up in the middle of the woods like this? It could be some sort of trap!"

"But lady, I don't sense anything odd. He's just a regular guy," Thalia pointed out. "Probably lost, is all."

Artemis was pondering this when the ice cream man emerged from the foliage. "Hey, girls, do you know where we are?"

Thalia glanced at Artemis, who gave a reluctant nod. Then the lieutenant told him, "We're in Yosemite National Park."

The man frowned. "Really? I was supposed to be in Redwoods National Park. How do I get out of here?"

Thalia took out a park map and showed it to him. The ice cream man was so grateful he gave them the whole ice cream cart for free. Even Artemis had a cone (maybe several more, but she's a goddess, after all).

How was it? Good? Bad? You know the rest. Review and suggest! Please??
