Florean Fortescue's Ice-cream Parlour

[pinky p]

er... have any suggestions for the next bit of entertainment?

[Liquid Ice]

Well you are in charge of this department but as the parlour is relatively quiet at the moment I will assist you......*thinks hard* How about the hogwarts ghosts? Woyuld they come?

[pinky p]

perhaps not hogwarts ghosts... but i do have an old pal who i know would be quite willing to come... *snaps fingers and in soars the ghost of a rather dreadful looking old witch*

old witch: hi, i'm mimi *sob* and i'm *sob* DEEEEEAAAADDDDDD!!

pp: shes a bit... er... emotional.... but she really likes people

mimi: *sniff sniff* will you be my friend, although i am an old dead person? *to ice*

pp whispers to ice: er... i suggest you say yes... she has a real temper...

[Liquid Ice]

*Whispering to pinky* Does she like icecream?? To pretend shes eating??

*To old ghost* Of course Ill be your friend! Do take a seat, and dont mind the nifflers on carpets - theyre only waiters.

I think Ill have a sundae mysely actually, after all, I have 1000 posts - accio! *Accio wizzes over on a carpet with a special sundae* Thankyou my dear, you can go and lie down now if you want. *Louder to the ghost* This is my pet, accio!

[Liquid Ice]

Wheres everyone gone? Pinky? You cant all go just as this new entertainment arrives! *Hugs accio for cmfort and sits and waits until someone comes*

[Jotomicron]

*Far far away it is possible to hear some horse neighing.*
Here, Doenke (it's my winged horse). I'll have some icecream now.

Hello, icy? How are you? Do you like my horse?
I... *stops to look at old dead witch* *whispering* who is she?...

[Liquid Ice]

Ice cream coming up, yes I like your horse joto, and Im afraid I dont really know who the old ghost is, a friend of pinkys, but as pinky isnt here Im afraid we dont know who she really is.

[Jotomicron]

Hmm... Then I guess I must wait and ask Pinky...

Now, I'd like a coffee with chocolate icecream. For Doenke I think I'll have vanilla icecream; is that ok for you, Doenke?
*The horses neighs and nods*
So, how much? (or am I still under the free icecream promotion for the phoenixes? I can't remember...)

[Liquid Ice]

I cant remember either but I think you get it free until the end of november. So one chocolate ice, one vanilla and a coffee, coming up. *Disapears into the back room and returns with a tray* There you go accio, take it to jotomicron and his horse *accio wizzes over to the table* Yes I hope pinky returns soon but until then we need some temporary entertainment *flicks wand and clouds of butterflys emerge* Theyre very friendly and the beating of their wings will keep you cool, its rather hot in here dont you think?

[pinky p]

i'm here i'm here! *snaps fingers so the butterflys dissapear* er... i'll get mimi going in just a minute... mimi, how would you like to sing for us?

mimi: i'd rather die... wait i am dead... *wails*

pp: so you'll sing for us then? whispers to ice: she really can be a good singer, when she likes to be

mimi: fine, fine *starts wailing a mournful tune*

pp: er... she gets better when shes not quite to angry...

[Liquid Ice]

uh-hu. Is there anything I can get to make her feel better?

More icecream joto? Doneke? Ive checked, your offer does last until the end on november, and Ill extend the offer to anyone or anything you bring with you, hows that?

[Jotomicron]

Ok, Icy... Thanks! (btw, it's Doenke - you can say "Doinka" -, not Doneke... I assume you mistaped it...)

Hey, mimi, you're song's great (will this make her sing better?)
Great song!!!

I'll have another icecream, and give one to pinky and one to yourself...

Btw, how are the phoenixes?

[Liquid Ice]

Yes joto I did just misspell it, ah well, all well that ends well.........

Ice cream for joto, pinky and, me *Fetches every flavour ice cream topped with chopped nuts, fruit, chocolate sprinkles, hundreds and thousabds etc, etc.....just remove anything you dont want.

The pheonixes are thriving joto! However waets - I think thats the one - has developed blisters around the beak, and refuses to perform, and the others wont perform without him, so Im stuck, thats why we have this lovely witch singing her beautiful song for us - cos we cant get the pheonixes out of the back.

[Jotomicron]

If you lead me to the back room, I think I might be able to sort the problem! *Ice tells Joto the door to the phoenixes room*.

*Joto disappears through the door and appears some minutes after*

There.. I applied a potion on Waets and his beak is better now...

.oO(Oh my, this work with phoenixes is a little tough!) Can I have another Icecream, please?

[pinky p]

*waltzes in twenty minutes late for her shift, ignores the dreadful stare on ices face...* of course you may, suga. can i top off your coffee son, or is it just some ice cream you'd like? we've got the finest ice cream in the tri-state area. that old ice cream stand in town run by homer jones is second rate, i'll tell you what.
