He'd been rather busy and things he had to think about but he didn't feel like thinking not right now. Quint wandered up to the ice cream shop, opened the door, and slipped inside only paying a bit of attention to the tingle of bells that hit the air that announced his entrance. He made his way up to the counter and stared up at the menu thoughtfully. Usually he went with something that was tart and lemony in flavor but he felt like something different today, something a bit sweeter though he wasn't sure what he wanted at all.
Quint reached up and rubbed the back of his neck as he stood off to the side so other customers that knew what the hell they wanted could slip by and make their order to the awaiting worker behind the counter.
A hot fudge sundae or perhaps a banana split? Maybe he should just get an ice cream cone and have it dipped in a chocolate shell-stuff that they had. Everything sounded good at this point...

It was allowance day. The best day ever. Every allowance day, Vance would go downtown and spend half of it on sweets. This day, he had a hankering for ice cream.
The green haired boy burst into the shop, the bell making an alarming clank at his sudden entrance.
Vance ran up to the counter, standing on his tippy toes so he could see. He was bigger than he was as a toddler, but he found he was still much too short for the world around him.
"Hi!" He called to the lady at the counter. He looked around at the selection eagerly. Oh... oh wow. There was a lot of selection.. "I want.... I want... uuuuh..."
He looked deep in thought, twisting his lips as he scanned the choices. "I want the green one with the chocolate! Two scoops please! In a sugar cone! With sprinkles!"
The eager boy turned to look at the rest of the shop while the lady giggled as she scooped the boy's ice cream. He then noticed the tall, shark looking teen, and recognized him instantly. "Quint! Look, it's me! Hiii!" Vance waved happily at the teen, a big happy grin on his face.

His attention was still firmly at the menu that hung on the wall behind the counter for the most part. Just barely he saw the green hair of a familiar seeming boy as he made his order with enthusiasm. Quint seemed to get lost in the list again as he waited for something to jump out at him from the words and images plastered on the menu. Thus far nothing was really grabbing him yet so this was probably going to take him just a bit longer than intended.
Suddenly the boy had addressed him and blinked over at him to get a good look at him, "Holy ... Crap. Hello Tadpole, glad to see you again. You really grew up, huh? What is your dad feedin' you?" Quint teased lightly with a chuckle.

Vance giggled, pleased that he had startled the shark like teen. He really liked seeing the friends he met as a toddler, since they always seemed surprised. "Uh huh! He feeds me food, silly." Vance retorted with a cheesy grin. Evidently he was getting to be a bit cheeky. "I eat candy when I get my allowance. But every day I have to eat what he makes me. Like.. veggies and stuff." He made a face, remembering suffering through a night of green beans the night before.
"Are you getting ice cream too? Wanna hang out with me? Please? Please?" Vance pleaded with hopeful red eyes staring up, all wide and hopeful like.

Quint reached up and rubbed at his chin, "Well if you say its food I'll believe you," he said in reply and chuckled lightly at the rest of Vance's response and nodded a bit, "As you should. It's not good to just eat candy, remember?" Quint didn't know about the horrid ordeal the young boy faced the other night but undoubtedly the young man would still point out that Donovan was right.
As long as Donovan wasn't beating the child the man was always going to be right.
"Yeah. Trying to decide what I want. Sure I'll hang out with ya," Quint chuckled as if the boy needed to say please more than once. It wasn't like Quint was completely stone cold.

"Iiiii remember~." He said in a sing-song tone. One of many threats by Donovan to make the kid eat his food was that he would never get big like Kay or Quint if he didn't eat his veggies. It worked like a charm.
"Yay!!" Vance squealed, trying not to toss his cone in his excitement. "I'll help you, Quint!" Vance grinned, turning and licking his ice-cream while scanning the selection.
There had been a lot of treats he wanted, but there was no way he could afford to order it all. He'd just have to choose one for Quint from the things he thought were awesome.
"How about that? Chocolate Fudge Sundae?"
