Bit #2: Ice Cream Chaos

Izuku, Neo, and Ruby are all taking a nice walk in the park, Neo and Ruby holding onto each of Izuku's arms. After yet another tiring training session in their class, Izuku wanted to go out on a walk, with Neo and Ruby asking if they could tag along.

"It's nice to finally have a moment to ourselves with how busy classes have been these days, Aizawa has not been making it easy for us," Izuku says as Ruby nods in agreement.

"I know right? I get that we're all doing our best trying to become heroes, but we should be given at least a little break! We're only teenagers!" Ruby exclaims with a pout, to which Izuku chuckles. Suddenly, he feels his other arm being tugged, and looks at Neo.

"What's wrong Neo?" says Izuku, nothing seemed to be wrong, but she was just pointing at the Ice Cream Parlor that was right across the street. "Oooooh! Ice Cream! Can we go get some Ice Cream? Please Izuku!" Ruby says in excitement.

Izuku looks up at the parlor and thinks about it for a little, but then he makes the slight mistake but blessing of looking back at Ruby and Neo, and seeing them pulling out a trick almost every woman knows: The Puppy Eyes technique. Izuku blushes at this as he finds this unfair to say no to those faces.

"Pleeeeeeease Izuku?" Ruby pleads with Neo following her lead. Eventually, Izuku couldn't resist anyone. "Okay! Okay! We can go get Ice Cream. Just please, those faces are too adorable to say no to." Izuku says as he sighs. Neo and Ruby both jump up for joy as they grab his arms and practically drag him over to the parlor.

They went inside and were surprised by the aesthetic of the place, if it were a sunset or nighttime, this place would be a perfect place to get together and chat with friends. Ruby and Neo dash over to the glass panel to see all the Ice Cream flavors. Both had stars in their eyes as they looked at the many Ice Cream flavors.

"Oh, welcome to the Nightly Parlor. Can I get you guys anything?" The guy asks as Izuku looks up. "We'll take three Ice Cream's please," Izuku says. "Alright then, which flavors?" He asks.

"Chocolate for me please," Izuku says.

"Cherry!" Ruby exclaims.

Neo points at the mix of Strawberry, Chocolate, and Vanilla. "She'll take Neapolitan." Izuku helps her as she nods.

"Alright, One Chocolate, one Cherry, one Neapolitan. That'll be ¥1,550. Will you be taking it go?" Izuku nods as he hands him the money and puts it in the register. "Alright, I'll have your order out as quick as I can, you can wait by one of the tables in the meantime." The parlor smiles as Izuku, Ruby, and Neo go sit at a table.

Izuku is waiting patiently, while he looks over to see Neo and Ruby practically bouncing around. He always found it funny how their little dynamic worked. They would sometimes be like sisters in a way, other times they would be competing with each other. There was even this one time when they were pretty much playing tug of war with his arms, they suffered great pain afterward...

Suddenly, the door was kicked open as some thieves ran in screaming. "EVERYONE ON THE GROUND!" Suddenly, everyone spirals into a panic and INSTANTLY hits the deck and falls to the floor in a panic. Izuku does the same way to avoid being shot, But he still keeps some of his cool. But that's when he realized, Ruby or Neo didn't hide with him, they were still sitting there, faces shadowed by their hair.

"Guys, come on! We should hide to try and plan something! Guys?!" Izuku whispers to them to hopefully get their attention, but to no avail, they don't listen, and just continue sitting there. Eventually, one of the thieves noticed them not on the ground panicking and walked up to them.

"Hey, did you girls hear me, I said EVERYONE on the ground, that means you two as well!" He says while aiming his gun at them, trying to scare them into getting on the ground, but to his surprise, they still just sit there with shadowed faces. "Grrrrr, I SAID: ON THE GROU-"
