Moment 3 - Reyna and Leo work in an Ice-cream truck. Momented!
Reyna placed her hands in her hips,
"So Leo... Where is my money?"
Leo gave a sheepish smile, "Err... Well hehe, I might have accidentally tried to give Buford a vacuum cleaner...and well"
He held up a ripped and tattered 10 dollar in front of Reyna's face, her eyes focused on the remaining of the precious dollar note.
"... Now we can never buy that 200 dollar birthday card with that poem 'Roses are red, violets are blue, God made me pretty, what happened to you' for Octavian..."
Leo said, "BUT there is always good news!"
"Better not be something stupid."
"... We can work at an ice-cream truck!"
"..."
"It was my original model of Argo II."
"..."
"It got rainbow lights!"
"..."
"...Umm, and a honk."
"..."
Reyna did not look well...
We'll be right back.

The same Sunday afternoon, Leo brought in the last box of supplies. "Aaaand, that the last box of extra stuff if we run out."
"I can't believe you talk me into this, " Reyna pointed at the light wooden floor.
Leo grinned, "What can I say? I'm a ladies man anyways." He winked a very horrible wink which looked like he was twitching pretty badly.
"And this!" Reyna pointed at the rainbow lights, "And this!" She pointed at her 'Leo and Reyna's Fun Ice Cream Truck' uniform, with a bunch of cringy food stickers like vegetable and rice which doesn't even relate to ice-cream at all.
"C'monnnnn, it's creative."
Reyna snorted, "You mean pointless and stupid, don't forget to add cringy AND off-topic!"
An ear-piercing honk cut through their conversation.
HONKKKKKKKKKK!
Reyna covered her ears quickly, "Why did we agree on having this?!"
"We can't really do anything about it, 'cause it'll take me around 4 hours to take it off since I attached a bunch of wires to it. We can't exactly waste time and customers, plus the money."
Reyna scowled, "And this just had to happen because of your stupidness."
"It's fun."
A 7-year-old from the counter suddenly shouted, "Hey! I'm here for ice-cream and not for hearing you stupid old people agrue." The 7-year-old kid kicked the truck causing the truck to tremble.
Both Reyna and Leo held on the wall to keep their balance. Leo said, "So... Kid, what ice-cream do you want? Reyna please prepare an ice-cream cone for this little angel here."
"Umm... Reyna?" the said demigod was shouting offence words at the kid who made the bratty look, sticking his tongue out at Reyna.
"Go fuck off, brat!" Reyna hollered.
Leo gave a straight smile, "Not helping..." He nudged Reyna.
Reyna didn't even bother to hear or look at Leo, until Leo decided to nudge her like crazy.
Reyna held her arm away from Leo, "Okay okay, just stop doing that. I'll get the damn cone and you take the... kid's order..."
Reyna grabbed a random ice-cream cone and 'accidently' chipped a side off.
Leo called, "Chocolate ice-cream!"
Reyna dumped the scoop of the brown mushy chocolate, she looked around her to see if anyone was looking.
She licked it, then rubbed one of Leo's socks hanging from the cabinet onto it.
So much for service...
Leo called, "Reyna, what's taking you so long for just scooping the ice-cream?"
Reyna said, "I'll deal with the brat."
The kid at the counter impatiently kicked the truck, causing it to shake again, "Whats takin' my ice-cream so long, slow pokes?!"
Reyna tried her best not to lung at the kid and rip him to shreds,
"Money."
The kid handed a few coins,
"Ice-cream."
Reyna narrowed her eyes, she counted the coins, "7 more dollars."
"Fine!" The kid glared at her as he took 7 more dollars out of his pockets. "You took all my allowance away!"
"Deal with it." Reyna stuck the ice-cream in front of him. At that moment, she couldn't help but remember the special treatment she has done to the ice-cream. She grinned madly as the kid looked at her weirdly.
The 7-year-old walked aside to taste his ice-cream.
"I'm guessing you did some special toppings onto the ice-cream by the looks of your face?" Leo smirked next to her.
Reyna grinned darkly, "Hell yeah.
The kid tasted his ice-cream and spat it out, "Ewwwww... What in the world is this chocolate!"
Reyna tempted to not snicker, but she couldn't resist how perfectly her plan went.
Leo turned his head away, covering his mouth while he tried hard not to giggle.
The kid glared at them, and threw the ice cream into the bin and stormed away.
"Lemme guess, you rubbed against the floor?"
"No, I licked it and rubbed your socks with it."
"I knew my socks were awesome."
Reyna stuffed the 12 dollars into their cookie bag, "Cookie bags are offically the best thing I call a safe."
"Touché."
LxR Money Count: 8
Custom. 1(A brat) $12
After 3 minutes and precisely 24 seconds...
HONKKKKKKK! HONKKKKK! HONK! HONK! HONKKKK-
"JUST STOP PRESSING THE DAMN THING! WE'RE NOT DEAF YOU KNOW!"
The new customer was an lady in her late 60s, wearing baggy clothes and a large amount of jewellery.
"Is this Leo and Reyna's Fun Ice Cream Truck?" She asked.
Reyna slammed her hand, "You don't seem to be blind right? What does this sign even say then?"
"Nice, Reyna, be niceeeeeeee,"Leo did the stay calm gesture at Reyna.
Reyna glared at Leo with her 'I'm gonna kill you' glare,
"It's not my problem that this lady got some... Eye issues!"
The lady blinked, "Sorry, mam, but-"
"Let's just take the lady's order, then give her her ice cream, then we can get the money,"Leo said.
Reyna grabbed one of Leo's socks hanging on the cabinet, and flung it at Leo,
" Don't give a fuck. "
" Oh, it's so on! " Leo burst into flames, causing the poor lady to back away and tremble in fear.
A fire ball darted at Reyna, in one split second, she deflected it with another pair of Leo's socks.
Reyna charged at him while he was busy dodging a fire ball.
Leo rolled just in time when the fire ball just dissolved and Reyna charged at him.
He grabbed the nearest thing he could find, this tactic would always lead him to the most secret disbelieving ultimate weapon...
A... Scoop of vanilla ice cream...
Leo groaned, it had to be that. He shot it at Reyna who stood dumbfounded after the vanilla ice-cream came into her sight.
Wait Vanilla Ice-cream?
Reyna attempted to back away, but she got shot in the face, the ice-cream slowly rolled down her face.
Leo started laughing and threw himself onto the floor, "You-ha-got shot-haha-with ice cream, hahaha!"
"Ha ha ha, very funny." Reyna turned into her 'RaRa' glare.
"Ermmm... Can I have a vanilla ice cream?"
Both Reyna and Leo jumped into fighting stances, they both lowered their fists to see the poor lady staring at them in horror.
"Man... Forgot she was here too." Leo sighed.
"I-I'll pay a hundred dollars! Please please! Don't kill me..." The lady begged holding out 100 dollars.
Leo widened his eyes, "No no, we didn't mean to-"
"AHEM... What Leo is trying to say is, hand it over or die." Reyna nudged Leo.
Leo turned back to the money, it started gleaming like heaven, "Yeah yeah sure."
Reyna nodded.
"Please don't nudge me!"Leo held his arm away from Reyna.
"Hypocrite," Reyna raised her brow at him.
She grabbed a chunk of vanilla ice cream and dumped it onto the cone,
"Money."
"Ummm..."
"That isn't a question."
The lady have her a hundred dollars, and immediately snatched her ice-cream from Reyna's right hand and ran away.
Reyna's right hand still stayed in position,
"Weirdo."
"At least we got 100 more dollars, which makes it 120 dollars I guess." Leo shrugged.
Reyna was just about to stuff the hundred dollars into their very efficient cookie bad until Leo stopped her, "My turn!"
"Awww man."
Leo took the money with a very mad man alike grin, "TSK TSK TSK."
Reyna rolled her eyes, "So how much we got now?"
"We got 112 dollars in two freaking customers and literally less than five minutes!" Leo clicked his tongue. "Well, all thanks to Uncle Leo's awesome fire ball Kua-cha!"
Reyna elbowed Leo, "Shut up. Thank me for starting the fabulous show."
"But the roots came from my socks."
"I don't care."
Yeah, I might need to work on my endings. This is part 1. Part 2 will eventually come up someday.
