The Love That is Pure

Ice Cream Bar's Story

The sound of the freezer door opening aroused Ice Cream Bar from its hibernation. It shifted around so that it landed just inches in front of its friend "Popsicle" and watched as an angelic hand reached in.

(I hope that it is I that this fair person chooses..) And, it seemed, that Ice Cream Bar's silent plea was answered, as the dainty hand wrapped itself around its midsection and brought it into the light. It was, of course, love at first sight.

(This angel is beautiful.. I wish that I knew her name…)

"Yes… come to Virginia.." Giggled she, unwrapping it partially and shutting the freezer door.

(So, this angel's name is "Virginia".. I am to be sent to the "Promised Land" by her… How poetic and beautiful..) Thought Ice Cream Bar, marveling at how warm her hand was.

"Oh BOY!" Marveled Virginia, taking her first bite out of Ice Cream Bar and closing her eyes with glee. "This is wonderful… and all MINE!" She continued, taking another bite out of this delectable treat. Ice Cream Bar, of course, was equally enthralled by Virginia and was happy that it was causing her so much joy.. so much glee!

(Yes, soon our souls will be one and I will dance among the stars of Hema….)

" I must make sure that Jet does not find you though…" Mused she, taking another bite and looking tentatively around.

(Who is "Jet" and why does she fear him so?) Pondered Ice Cream Bar protectively. (No matter, for, if he tries to harm her, I, Ice Cream Bar, descendent of Sni'kers, will act in cold filling!)

"Don't you worry, my tasty treat, Jet will not steal you away from ME! Our love… our connection, is to strong for even him to break!" Admired she, taking yet another bite of Ice Cream Bar.

"Hey, Virginia, where are you?" Came a plaintive voice from her far right. Frantically, Virginia stuffed another third of Ice Cream Bar down her throat and coughed an affirmation of location.

Ice Cream Bar heard an exasperated sigh and then watched as the marvelous light from "The Great Outdoors" was temporarily blocked by the ellipse of a silver clad head.

(This must be the diabolical fiend known as "Jet", have no fear, Lady Virginia, for I, Ice Cream Bar, will protect you from this cretin!)

"Virginia, you're supposed to be outside helping me and Gallows paint the house…Not stuffing your face with this!" Simpered he, reaching for Ice Cream Bar. Virginia hissed her anger and snatched the fourth of Ice Cream Bar from Jet's grasping hands.

(Be GONE, foul beast, BE GONE!)

"I have you know that a woman must maintain her vitality during this time of month…" Glared Virginia, kicking Jet square in his knee. Jet crumpled to the ground and glared up at her.

(Feel my power combined with hers and DESPAIR!)

"W-what was THAT for?!" Huffed Jet, slowly standing up with a snarl on his face.

"That's for trying to steal my ice cream, you jerk!" She hissed, polishing of the rest of Ice Cream Bar with a content sigh.

(I am finally going to be free! I will be able to sail among the great "Sea of Life" on the vessel of Hema…I am happy..) Thought Ice Cream Bar, sliding down her throat in the greatest mood.

"Why would I want to steal your ice cream when I've already had one?! Hm?" Queried Jet, glaring at her with his customary glare.

"You did WHAT?!" She howled, balling up her shaking hand into a fist. Jet shrank back a couple of feet and blinked.

"I took one of your ice creams…I hope that's all right.." He said in a shrunk voice. Virginia grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and gave him a good shake.

"Which one did you take?" She snarled, resolving herself to getting a direct answer.

"I-I took the Orange Jub Jub…" He gasped, clawing at the woman's hand. With a relieved sigh, Virginia released the young man and watched with amusement as he fell gasping to his knees.

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear. It would do you good to stay away from my chocolate ice cream sandwiches…" She sneered, watching as Jet scrambled back up to his feet.

"I'll remember that.. Now.. I.. I think I hear Gallows calling me.. See you!" And, with those words spoke, he disappeared in a puff of smoke and fear.

"No one will ever touch my ice cream bars…" She whispered, her eyes glowing red for a moment and the turning back into blue as she rushed out to help her comrades.
