Aja eyed the ice cream dubiously through the glass at the parlor, shivering slightly from the glass's chill. Steve stood beside her, trying not to laugh. "Have you really never had ice cream before?"

"I told you I have not. Food on my planet is far different than yours, it's not even remotely the same thing. And this does not even look as though it should be consumed by anything."

Steve grinned. "You said the same thing about jello! Seriously though, trust me on this one. You're going to love it."

He took Aja's hand and pointed out all of the little flavor labels. "My favorite is chocolate, but I like almost all of the flavors. Why don't you pick one that sounds good?"

Soon enough, Aja and Steve walked out of the parlor with their ice creams and sat down on a bench. Steve had already started eating his, and Aja had chosen the same flavor, chocolate brownie. She did like chocolate, so she hoped that this strange cold version of it would be good.

Aja took a deep breath and bit into the ice cream.

It was so good! Aja took another bite, then another, humming with joy. She turned to Steve and blinked- he was pulling an odd face. "It is very good Steve! But what is wrong with your face?" Steve shook himself and shrugged, handing Aja a napkin.

"It's just that you're not supposed to bite it, you lick it. For most people, biting into ice cream is really painful. But... you seem to like it? So I guess it's cool."

Aja nodded. "It does not hurt me at all. Lively!" She grinned as Steve put his arm around her and pulled her close, and the two teens ate their ice cream together and enjoyed the added sweetness of young love.
