Samantha Richards - Sprinkles On Top

Natasha had looked painfully aware of her misjudgement of the spiciness of the hasperat. It prompted Sam to offer a cooler alternative for their dessert.
Richards: Ah, right here ::pointing:: Looks like “The Swoon Spoon” is not far from here.
Cole: ::tilting her head:: That’s an interesting name.
MacKenzie: I’m sold. What do they have?
The shop had a list of some of the best selling flavors. The names were all a bit strange but they made her laugh. That alone was enough for her to want to try them.
Richards: I for one, am curious as to what “Buttered up Bolian cone” or a ::holding back a laugh:: “Raspberry Riker Ripple” tastes like. Either of you interested in joining me?
Cole: ::drinking some of her drink:: I am at least, how about you, Doctor MacKenzie?
Sam looked at the Captain with wide-almost puppy like- eyes.
MacKenzie: You had me at Raspberry Riker Ripple.
Richards:
Cole: Ready when either of you are. ::smiling, trying to not show she was still feeling the heat::

The Cherry Bomb squad finished up their respective meals and slowly wandered back into the Promenade. Thankfully for Sam the pace was slow. Even with her best attempts to walk normal, it was still very much a waddle no matter how hard she tried.
She saw the neon ice cream cone and knew they had reached their destination. There was a small crowd around the counter.
MacKenzie: Looks like the wait might be a minute… That’s good – it’ll give your hasparat a chance to settle.
MacKenzie smirked in Natasha’s direction.
Richards: I’m glad I went with something a bit lighter ::laughing lightly:: and not spicy.
Cole: Response
Sam stood firmly in front of the giant board that listed all the flavors. It was fairly expansive and that only made the choice harder. They all sounded good, but she had to pick one that stood out from the others.
MacKenzie: What are you going to have?
Richards: I think I’m going for the Cotton Candy Class Starship. It has little star sprinkles on top. I’m a sucker for cotton candy flavored things. Something catch your eye Doctor?
She shrugged and locked in with her choice.
Cole: Response
MacKenzie: Too many choices. I love raspberry, and Raspberry Riker Ripple was one of the first things I heard Samantha say, so I have to stop there.
Richards: Riker is always a good choice if you know what I mean.
She smiled and chuckled as she nudged Natasha.
Cole/MacKenzie: Response
The crowd near the counter had dispersed enough that the three women were able to make their way up and place their orders. Sam held the brightly colored pink and blue cone covered in silver star sprinkles and gestured towards a small empty table inside the shop.
She got situated in the metal chair and gave her ice cream a lick.
Richards: This is pretty good. Sprinkles leave a little something to be desired, but it’s not bad all in all.
Cole/MacKenzie: Response
Sam smiled and looked up at the two women a bit sheepishly.
Richards: Thanks for having dinner with me. ::Gesturing to the shop:: And ice cream. It’s been nice.
Cole/MacKenzie: Response
TAG/TBC!
