[ In the middle of the hallway, there's a door that's swung wide open.

'FREE SUNDAE SUNDAY' is plastered onto a sign in old script, right beside the door. Careful--you might run into it.

A record's playing from inside, and once you're one step into the room, it's obvious you've been sent back in time. Everything is black and white. It's a candy, ice cream and soda shop, with everything from licorice to Swedish fish to gumballs all in tall, glass jars. There's about five kinds of soda and ten kinds of ice cream--no, eleven, one more tub just popped up behind the glass case behind the long, wooden bar. Behind the ice cream counter is Riku, who's eating a sundae of his own. A paper waiter's hat has made its way onto his head--it matches with the apron tied around his waist.

Seems pretty normal, except for one thing. Remember how everything was black and white? Well... seems the food is still retaining it's obnoxiously bright colors. Riku's sundae--which is various shades and tints of bright orange--is turning him orange. Or, at least, everything but his hat and apron... weird. Could that happen to you, too? ]

[A pair of blue eyes peek in the door and....]

RIKU!

[Have a Hikari zooming in and scrambling up on a stool. She raises a hand to point out what she wants then stops and stares.]

Did you know you're turning orange?

[ Thanks to that yell, he almost drops his spoon, looking at her with surprise. He blinks twice, then looks down at a hand. ]

Huh... I guess I am.

Huh...

Can I have a double scoop of mint with strawberry sprinkles please?

Comin' right up.

[ Riku hops down from his stool, turning and grabbing a big cup. That's one--two scoops. He takes a minute to locate those strawberry sprinkles, but when he does, they're going on top, and he slides it to her with a silver spoon. ... that green and red is certainly bright, isn't it? ]

There you go.

Thank you.

[Sits and munches away, as she kicks her feet some.]

So how have you been?

Okay. I got a room just for myself. And a Keyblade.

Oh cool!

[Looks down and blinks at the red and green streaks in her hair]

I'm turning into a Christmas tree....*giggle*

[~~Yes she is a dork sometimes just like her father XD~~]

[ He snorts, almost choking on his ice cream. Laughing, he wipes his tears from his eyes and gets some water--which instantly makes him black and white again. ]

[ all those colors are really hard to ignore. the fact it's 'free' doesn't hurt, either. ]

Talk about overdoing it on the technicolor.

[ --om. He practically bites down on the spoon when he realizes Axel's there, trying to remember that not all the people he sees that he knew back home are going to hurt him. ]

Technicolor?

[ he could, but what's the point, really ... ]

Forget it. Gimme a sundae.

[ Riku blows a bit of stubborn hair out of his face, putting his spoon into his sundae bowl. ]

You have to tell me which ice cream you want, and if you want anything on it, y'know.

[oh hello there, new best friend with the ice cream. there is a little kid pressing his nose to the glass, in awe of the brightly colored icecream behind it]

Oh so that's how it gets fixed, okay...

[Eventually finishes her ice cream.]

Can I have a glass of water too please?

Says who?

[ Huh. Uh, he blinks and leans forwards, trying to see what he's staring at. ]

Hey, which one you want?

[ He gets a clean glass and pours her some, with a smile. ]

I like orange, I think I'll keep it for a while. There's no way it's permanent.

The law.

[ Suddenly, he produces a water gun, fully loaded, and points it at Axel. Full of surprises, this one. ]

All of em!

[good thing Chichi isn't with him, he intends to try to milk as much ice cream as he can from this big kid Riku--]

Oh okay that's good. Wouldn't want to eventually find my mommy here and have o explain the weird color change to her.

... but there're eleven. You'd need a huuuuge cup and you'd get a brainfreeze halfway through. How 'bout three scoops?

[his eyes widen a bit, never having heard the term 'brainfreeze' before. he's not sure whether to believe Riku or not]

Four scoops!

Three and a half, that's my final offer.

Do I get sprinkles?

Sure. Two types.

I can have both?

Y'know what? Sure.

What about marshmallows! Can I have those on top too?
