The sparkling white car pulled up to the lot, and a man dressed in fine black clothing, with a chauffer's cap opened the door, letting Cory out. To.. everyone else's dismay, the chauffer continued to hold the door, as the other brother stepped out of the car. They exchanged annoyed dialogue, which could not be heard with the glass pane in the way, and then approached the shop. The driver got in the car and left after cory said something to him. He seemed much relieved.
"Hey, sorry I'm a little late. Little extra baggage..." he remarked before Ky made his grand entrance, shoving the door Cory was leaning on open, and sending the teen toppling to the ground. Ky just moved over to his own table, hopping onto the chair with minor difficulty, and looking at the flavor menu. Cory gave everyone a "I'm sorry, i couldn't get out of it," look, along with a shrug and a sigh, and took a seat by the others.

"No big, no one else is here yet, either." Kisuke kept dancing around his cone, not daring to look away for a second.
"We've just been hanging out here for a bit, waiting for the others to show up. This is only my third cone." And yet not a sign of any stickiness or stomach troubles.

Azzlyn rolled her eyes at the added irritation, but simply waved at Cory's glance, motioning that it was all okay.
The blonde-haired Ella arrived with Jess in tow. Jess was out of costume, finally, and the brown-haired woman was no skank. Her black leather had been switched with a long-sleeved layered shirt; light blue body and white sleeves. She wore beige kahkis and light pink tennis shoes. Her mask was off, revealing her lovely, tanned face. She was smiling as she walked in. "Hello everyone. I am sorry... they kept me late."

Zane was fast in tow, bursting in right behind the two girls. Huffing and wheezing, he moved off to one side, holding himself up with one hand on the glass and the other wrapped around his cramping stomach. He took the hand not holding him up and motioned with a finger to give him a second before returning to holding his side. He was finally able to wheeze out a greeting. "Heya... guys.. just.. got here... had to.. sprint.. sound guy.. told me.. you'd be here... PHEW!" Standing up, he concentrated on regulating his breath.
Kisuke paused in his final bite. Shrugging it off, he popped the small amount of remaining waffle cone into his mouth, more inhaling than chewing it. He didn't even have to lick off his fingers, he hadn't left a single drop or crumb. "Why'd you have to run?"

"That's my question," Jess said, raising an eyebrow. She moved behind Ella. If Zane was going to be butt-level with them, it would be Ella's butt, not hers, that he'd look at.

Now that Zane had regained his composure, of course his eyes happened to be glancing in the general direction of the girl's and their overall forms. He'd honed the skill of peripheral vision so much, that his eyes didn't even appear to move as they roamed. "My bike broke down. All hellflame and destruction. Blew up, right in the parking lot. Turned out that one of the special effects guys thought it was one of the cruddy set bikes for some other shoot and set it up to explode when you shift into second! Can you believe that?!" It was true that on closer inspection Zane's face was blackened and sweat-streaked and his normally tan shorts and legs were full of dirt and soot. But, then again, no one would be suprised to see Zane like this on any normal day.

Ella riased an eyebrow as well as she turned to look at him. "No, I don't believe it."
Azzlyn was chuckling at her table. She had always liked Zane.

Cory laughed at that, shaking his head. "Sounds pretty far-fetched to me," he remarked. He rose, moving to the counter, "I'll have a doublescoop of vanilla and chocolate, and a sugar cone of rainb-" Ky popped up in front of Cory from somewhere, and pushed him back. "I'll order for myself thank you!" he said with a huffy voice. "But you always get the same thing..." "But I wanna order it!" "I'm paying for it anyway, but do what you like..." Cory replied at last with a strainged expression that screamed "why me?"
"One rainbow sherbet on a sugar cone please!" Ky said in a much more sugary voice.

"I'm telling you, it happened!" Zane huffed, frowning at his friends. That was another trait of his. His stories were always a little too exaggerated to be believable, and everyone knew it. "You believe me, right, Kisuke?"
Kisuke looked up at Zane with his arms folded and a 'yea right' kinda look on his face. "So, what about the boards and the drinks?"
Zane threw up his arms emphatically. "That's what I was trying to get at!! I need someone to get me back to my house so I can get the boards!~"

Ella put her hands on her hips. "Just because I have my own car does not mean you can beg cheap rides off me all the time. But whatever. If you need to get back, I can take you. Nobody else can."

Zane leapt forward, throwing his arms around Ella dramatically. Swinging her back and forth for good effect, a genuine smile on his face.
"I knew there was a reason you were my favorite!"

She pushed him off. "Lies don't become men very well. Your idea of favorite is whatever one does what you want for the moment. Now then, let's go." She walked out the door, looking over her shoulder at Jess. "I will be back as soon as I can... I'll make sure the cake stays okay." The door closed, and Ella made it to her car without a second glance at Zane.
Azzlyn watched her go and then grinned at Zane. "Better get your butt out there. She won't be happy of she has to wait."

Zane shrugged, muttering a purposefully loud 'Women..' with a grin on his face. He turned, making his way after Ella.
Kisuke sighed and rolled his eyes. Once Zane was out of earshot, he voiced to no one in particular. "It's a wonder anyone puts up with him half the time."

"I like him... he reminds me of another friend I have." Azzlyn had the rest of her rocky road ice cream and sighed, leaning back in her parlor chair and placing her mesh-covered hands behind her dark-haired head. "I think he is an interesting man to say the very least of things. And I actually think he really likes Ella. I think it's fun to watch."
Jess snorted. "You say 'interesting' all too often. I have no idea what you mean by it in this instance, but I find the man nigh intolerable. I can't stand how he sees me as Naburine all the time. I am nothing like her." She pulled her brown hair back into a high ponytail as she spoke to get it out of her tan face.

Zane caught up to Ella, leaning up against the car next to her. "So, back to my place, then?" It was amazing that he kept the joke out of his expression, giving it only the slightest hint of seriousness, but never enough to be slapped offhandedly. It was an art.
Kisuke stood, stretching to loosen his limbs. "If I remember right, Zane doesn't live far, but they'll still be a few, assuming that Ella doesn't kill him first. Do you all wanna wait here for them or walk down to the beach and claim some territory?"
