Playing Around

"Hey, Cid!"

Cid turned from his computer. "What're you botherin' me for, kid?"

Yuffie grinned, holding out two sea-salt ice cream bars.

Cid smiled. "Thanks," he said, taking one.

Then, the tiny Gullwings flitted by. Rikku snatched the remaining ice cream from Yuffie's hand.

"Hey!" Yuffie cried, lunging at the pixie, who just giggled and darted away. Yuffie ran after her, and ended up banging her leg against Merlin's bed. She gave a shout of pain.

Cid rolled his eyes, turning back to his computer. "It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt," he muttered.

A few moments later, Rikku dropped the ice cream bar on his head.

"Whoops!" she exclaimed. "Sorry! I was just playing around."

Cid ignored her, feeling the ice cream begin to melt and drip down his head.

Everyone else had fallen into a state of silent shock.

Then, Rikku broke into a fit of giggles and exclaimed, "Maybe we should play 'Drop-Ice-Cream-On-Cid' more often!"

"Stupid kids," Cid grumbled.
