Ice Cream

ElectricCircuslover: Made this short at the last days of April and didn't submit here for some reason. I submitted at Deviantart because I get more attention there, not much but something to keep me going. Anyways, I wanted to use my OC Andy James Petals as he doesn't get very much light compared to Shadow Aaron Petals. It is my fault but keep in mind that writing isn't no easy task. I've been writing 7 to eight years now for this site and there isn't a day that I feel like giving up due to writer's block and motivation problems. Bleh.

The day was bright and sunny on the island of Kauai. Andy left his parent's house and got in his little ice cream truck parked next to his parent's red dune buggy. It was a hot day and it bothered Andy until he was able to start up his ice cream truck and cool down. He put on his black wig on his head, hiding his long pink antenna under the wing afterwards.

Andy left the driveway and turned on the music, which played the Mr. Softee theme loudly for everyone to hear. He went through town and got a few kids to come to his truck. He smiled as he drove slowly in town. Suddenly, he looked at m rearview mirror and saw a giant flood of children run towards his truck. Cars got swallowed up, adults got trampled over, trees fell down, and everyone ran back into their buildings.

"Oh shit. It's the flood!" Andy yelled out, putting the petal to the metal and trying to outdrive the seemingly endless line of children.

His vehicle didn't drive very fast but he was able to go fast enough that the horde couldn't catch up. He tried to make a turn on the road and kids poured out of the buildings to get to Andy when they heard the music.

Suddenly the truck stalled and Andy frantically tried to start it back up again. The children were quickly getting closer to Andy. He was cursing up a storm trying to get his truck to work. Kids surrounded his truck, rocking it back and forth yelling out "ICE CREAM" as they rocked his truck.

Andy ran to the back, opened the fridge, grabbed packets of ice cream cones and sticks, opened the window, and threw them out to the screaming children.

"Here is your god damn ice cream! Don't destroy my truck!" Andy bellowed as he grabbed as much ice cream he could and threw it out the window.

The pink born Experiment ran out of ice cream and quickly went back to his driver's seat and tried starting it up. After a few moments the truck started up and drove off as fast as he could. He tried to turn another curve but more children from both sides were.

Andy drove forward and went through the beach, nearly hitting people in the process. He found an opening in the swarm of children and tried to get to it. He quickly made it back onto the road with children still following with intent on getting ice cream.

The pink born Experiment drove through the park to ensure he didn't run over the mob of screaming kids coming from the wood work and ended up in the jungle eventually. Dodging and weaving, he drove through the jungle and missing the trees in the process. Soon he was at the cliff and couldn't stop. Andy jumped out of the truck and let it drive off the cliff, smashing into the jagged rocks below. He shed a tear walked home, not seeing the kids anymore.

"So that's how I got fired from delivering ice cream," Andy said, sitting at the table drinking coffee with his mother, Angel, in the kitchen.

"I think you exaggerated most of that story, Andy. I was working in my desert shop and I didn't see a lot kids going to your ice cream truck," Angel crossed her arms.

"Trust me mom. When I saw that group of kids coming to my truck I know that I was going to get swept away. You should've of seen it. It was like everyone in a school building came out to get ice cream. I was hating that job anyways. Getting up early in the morning, getting dressed up in my dorky uniform, and listening to that damn ice cream music all day. Then you have to deal with stupid humans that take several centuries to decide if they want the Sonic the Hedgehog ice cream stick or the My Little Pony ice cream bar. It was ridiculous. You're a business woman mom, you would understand," Andy complained.

"You're mostly involving children. You can't expect a child to know what they want on the first try. I get adults, teens, and sometimes children in my 'Heavenly Sweets' desert shop and don't have a problem at all. You just need to learn some patience son. When you have children one day you will realize that," Experiment six-two-four- smiled, putting sugar in her coffee.

"I don't want children. They are annoying, needy, and break thing, while being expensive to raise as well devoting time to. I don't think I could handle such a responsibility," the pink b-x stuck out his tongue.

"You'll have some one day. I know you will," Andy's mother smiled.

"Fat chance."
