(Don’t worry about it )
’ I just can't believe he actually had the money to come here. ‘ Connor was a little surprised by this comment, but just nodded in response to it. Who was he to make judgments about who Celina should and shouldn’t make comments about? It wasn’t really any of his business anyway. Besides, from what she said this guy sounded like a creep.
“ Yeah… “ Connor said, trailing off because he wasn’t really sure what to say. He couldn’t really remember what they had been talking about before she had gotten bumped into and all that stuff had happened. Rightly wrong, that was right. And her cat, Emerald. He didn’t really think there was too much more to say about either topics, and he was again struggling for something to say. It was weird, usually he could talk up a storm but he now felt a little strange about randomly bringing up something after what had just happened. Connor decided to not make too big of a deal out of it even though he had an odd feeling in the pit of his stomach. It just didn’t feel right to him, but he shrugged these thoughts off and set a smile on his face.
He noticed Celina turning to look at a new band that had just started and did the same, so he was rather unaware when they bumped into one another. He grinned sheepishly and said, “ Oh, sorry, “ At just about the same time as her which only caused him to grin a little more. “ No problem, really. Are you hungry or anything? “ He asked, seeing some food stands and deciding that perhaps getting something to eat would make things a little bit more relaxed once again.

Their apologies had been in unison and it only made Celina giggle more, turning her face to the side as she could feel a small, embarrassed blush rise to the surface. Wow, she was really doing well that day, and she could already see him never wanting to speak to her again after it. She sighed looking back at the boy and smiled, still in disbelief that she had been so clumsy as to walk crooked and run right into him. Or maybe he had been crooked? Maybe the both magnetically attracted crooked into each other? Celina’s mind swirled a bit as it seemed to go into Ravenclaw mode and she had to blink a couple times to get it out of the trance it had put itself in.
“Umm….yea, a little,” Celina nodded her head and smiling as she put her hand in her pocket to feel around where the money was that she had brought. It was there, tucked away safely in her jeans pocket safely and she patted it gently. “Absolutely. What do they have…do you know?” she looked around at the vendors, wondering if they had an ice cream booth. Celina didn’t know why, but she was in the mood for some dip’n dots ice cream.
“Do you think there’s any ice cream booths any where?” Celina asked somewhat softly, hoping that it didn’t sound as silly as she thought it did. What was she…five? Who asked for ice cream? Before she had left she had had a late lunch so that she wouldn’t spend too much of her money on food. Food at these places was always really expensive. So, really, Celina was more into a desert type of food than anything else. “Unless, of course, you want something different,” she changed her tone quickly, giving the control back over to Connor. “I don’t mind what we eat,” she said, almost obediently.

Ugh… Connor thought as he felt a light heat rise up in his face just because he and Celina had ran into one another. How old was he, eleven? He could control himself around her, really he could. He just had to pay attention to where he was walking to and all would be fine.
’ Absolutely. What do they have…do you know? ‘ The Slytherin shook his head slightly as he looked over to the stands of food to see what they had. He was glad they had decided that getting food was a rather good idea. Seeing a couple stands of fast food and carnival types of food such as cotton candy and candied apples, Connor motioned to them and said, “ There’s… some stuff. “ He answered very non-specifically with a slight grin as he realized just how non-specific his comment had been. But then it didn’t really matter as Celina suggested ice cream, it sounded perfect for the hot day.
He shook his head eagerly as she said she was up for ice cream unless he wanted something else. “ Ice cream sounds great… I think I see a stand over there? “ He pointed over her shoulder to a place they had walked by a couple of seconds ago. Indeed, it did look like it sold ice cream from the picture of a magical ice cream that changed the color of your tongue. Connor knew what he was going to get…

((Sorry, I didn’t forget, honest! )) When Connor seemed more than willing to get some ice cream Celina smiled, glad to have made a decision that fitted both of their needs for the time. It was easier when two people agreed, and though Celina would have changed her tastes if Connor had wanted something different, she was glad that she had chosen something they both liked straight away. It cut out the rest of the thinking, which on a hot day, thinking was never advisable in Celina’s opinion. “Great!” she said just as enthusiastically as Connor’s nod had been. As he pointed over her shoulder she turned around on a dot and nodded her head, glancing back over her shoulder at him to smile. “Oh, yea! I see it.” Celina walked slowly toward the ice cream place, and read the signs. There were some really odd flavors some that changed your tongue colors, and even others that made sounds when you ate them. Celina wondered how many kinds they actually had. “Do you see a sign telling how many kinds they have?” she asked Connor, looking over at him.

(( No biggie )) Connor turned as well and back tracked to where they had been walking away from, ice cream on the brain. It really had been a good idea, one that he was surprised he didn't come up with himself. He was usually a fan of popsicles, but ice cream came in second by a very close call ((followed by dipn' dots at third). Wondering if the place had popsicles as well, he caught up with Celina and walked next to her. He jingled the change in his pocket as he smiled over at the girl beside him. As she mentioned the ice cream sign, he nodded and let out a laugh. " See the one that says it'll change your tongue different colors? " He paused for a few seconds before going on. " I'm thinking that'll be what I get. How 'bout you? " He asked, looking back to Celina for a few seconds before looking back to the sign. There were too many comical and strange flavors and effects of the ice cream that it would be hard to choose. But ice cream that changed the color of one's tongue? A classic. He grinned at the thought as he once again found himself looking back to Celina.

((Much Loves for the dip 'n dots!! ;D))
Celina giggled as she looked through the options and listened to what Connor wanted to order. She slightly shied away as she too wanted one that would turn her tongue colors, but she didn't want to look silly or foolish in front of the boy. Her nerves on end, and stomach fluttering, she giggled and shook her head. "I dunno," she started. "Would you laugh at me if my tongue was blue to match my shirt?" she laughed again, smiling as she did so.
Celina looked through the other kinds of ice creams and couldn't believe all of the things they had. Ice creme that never licked away, ice cream that tasted like the all flavored jelly beans. "Ew..." she said as her finger ran over the vomit tasting kind...that wasn't nice at all. "I think I'm going to have the blue color changing ice cream..." she finally announced bashfully. "What color are you going to transform your tongue?" Celina asked.

' Would you laugh at me if my tongue was blue to match my shirt? ' Connor smiled at Celina and offered a light shrug along with his response of, " That depends on whether or not you would laugh at my tongue being lime green. " His smile widened itself into a grin as he imagined himself with a green tongue. Pierced ears, pierced lip, and a green tongue... What a combination. The thought caused laughter to escape the Slytherin. Even outside of school he was still full of pride for his house. He hoped Slythering wouldn't be offended that he was paying his respects in the form of tongue color.
Unmeltable ice cream, now that was a good idea. It could sit out in the sun all day and never melt away. How could you eat it though? In Connor's mind, part of the charm of ice cream was it melting a little. Plus it also made it easier to eat. He pondered on this but was brought from his thoughts as Celina said she wanted the blue color. He looked down to the list of colors they offered and spotted lime green, just as he had wanted. " Blue sounds excellant, it would match your shirt nicely. " He smiled at the girl before glancing back down to the list. " Think I should go with green or orange? " Both very nice colors, and both very bright.

And as Connor laughed at the prospect of a green tongue, Celina couldn't help but laugh with him. At least if they were laughing, they'd be laughing at each other together. That was better than laughing at each other in a mean sort of way. Celina nodded and said, "Touche," before going back to the list for another once over before she heard Connor speak up again.
"I'd say green. I think it suits you, too," Celina smiled and a light blush rose to her face when he said it'd match her shirt nicely. Why a slight blush rose to the girl's face, she had no clue, for she had just suggested it moments ago. However, it sounded different coming from Connor and she shrugged and tipped her head to the side and giggled. "Well, ya know..." she rolled her eyes and walked up to the booth taking out a coin from her pocket. "One blue color changing flava blasting ice cream, please," she asked the server, briefly glancing back at Connor and giggling as the person went and got her ice cream.

At her comment of ' Touche, ' Connor shook his head slightly, his laughter now dying down a bit as he continued to scan the list. He was still set on the tongue color changing ice cream, it just the color that was the issue. Bright orange, lime green. Both equally good colors in their own respective ways.
" Green it is, then. " Connor decided on as Celina told him that green suited him more. He could imagine himself sticking his tongue out at someone jokingly and their faces full of shock at seeing his bright green tongue. He resisted the urge to laugh, and a small smile held its own on his face as he noticed the small blush that appeared on the girl's face at his comment. For some reason the blush made him feel a little shy around her. He didn't question it, because he knew that answer would only lead to confusion on his part. He metaphorically shook his head of the thoughts and watched as Celina moved forward and ordered her ice cream.
" Ooh, dare devil Jedynak. Watch her go... " He joked with a laugh as she asked for ' one blue color changing flava blasting ice cream. ' Once the server had left and returned with her ice cream, Connor said, " And I'll take one as well. Only lime green, thanks. " He said, turning to Celina with a smile.

Ooh, dare devil Jedynak. Watch her go...
Celina rolled her eyes playfully as Connor jested laughing at her. She too laughed, and when her ice cream came back, she held it while Connor ordered his and giggled again. “We should eat them at the same time so that we can show each other our tongues…” she stopped short thinking about that and laughing. “Now there’s something I’ve never said to another person before.” Still laughing, Connor ordered his ice cream and looked over at Celina and smiled.
He had a nice smile, somewhat lop sided in Celina’s option, but not crooked. It just looked as if it was hesitant to do so. “You know, Mr. Manning,” Celina teased lightly back, giggling. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile…” she paused, thinking about how dumb that sounded and looked at her ice cream. “I mean, maybe it’s because in classes we’re all so serious or something, but they say laughing and smiling is healthy and well…” Ok, so her words trailed off and she shrugged slightly. Celina couldn’t say what she wanted to say, stumbling over her words as she tried to think of how to just say…I like it, you should do it more.

Connor could hardly stifle his laugh at her comment. It remind him of the ' I'll show you mine if you show me yours ' kind of deal, which caused a small blush to rise us against his somewhat pale skin. He paid the person taking orders and recieved his ice cream in return. Turning back to Celina, he answered, " That sounds like a good idea. " After she mentioned that it wasn't something she had ever said so someone else, he started laughing again. It didn't seem like something that she would say a lot, but afterall they were referring to ice cream. It was purely innocent, of course.
He faced Celina with a small smile as she... talked about his smile. He grew a little embarassed as she talked about it, but in a good way. He grinned at her as she trailed off and continued for her, " You just wouldn't want me to be unhealthy, now would you? " He nudged her jokingly with his elbow. There was a little truth hidden behind his jokes, though. It sounded to him like she was getting at that she liked his smile, which only made him more embarassed. He was excited as well, though, for reasons he couldn't tell.

Celina nodded, her face bright red and her laughing shaky and somewhat nervous. How silly did she just sound? Really silly, and she knew it. She shook her head and continued to laugh as Connor nudged her with his elbow lightly and she looked at her ice cream. She should have just shoved her face in it, that would have been less embarrassing for the both of them...she was sure. "That's it," Celina said, still wanting to kick herself in the bum. "I'd hate for you, or any of my friends to be ill," again, she was stupid and she knew it.
Celina licked her blue tongue changing ice cream and laughed again. Looking towards Connor, she giggled, smiling a toothy grin and laughed slightly. Swallowing the ice cream she licked she started to speak. "Ready? Or should we count to three and then show each other?" she asked, not really caring what they did to show each other the colors their tongues turned.

A silly comment, yes, but a funny one all the same. Her sense of humor seemed to be contagious and was rubbing off on him. Connor grinned still despite his slight embarassment. He got over it quickly and moved on to what she said next. " S'all right. I don't think I would ever wish illness on someone. It's just... not fun. " Indeed, being sick is not fun. It can involve many things, all of which aren't fun. The only good thing about getting sick was getting out of stuff. Lessons, boring family dinners, random things he didn't want to do. But he wouldn't wish anyone ill.
" Uh... just go! " He said with a laugh as he took a bite out of his ice cream. Some people thought the best method for eating ice cream was licking it. Connor only thought that licking ice cream was for when it was melting. He quickly swallowed the ice cream and felt a tingling sensation on his tongue. The charm on the ice cream to turn his tongue green? He hoped so, otherwise something was going terribly wrong. He stuck his tongue out all the way and caught a glimpse of his lip ring as well as the recently changed color of his tongue. Lime green just as he had hoped.

Celina laughed when Connor just said go and began to eat his ice cream. Licking her own, she smiled and began to feel her own mouth tingle, which made her laugh even more. "Ah! It tingles!" she laughed and continued to lick the ice cream, the colors not only swirling in her mouth but also on the cone. She looked at Connor once more, and as his tongue protruded from his mouth and she did all she could from holding all of which had entered her mouth, from spraying every where. She swallowed hard and then smiled, her teeth were also a bit bluer than normal, so when she stuck her tongue out the radiance of the blue was almost blinding.
"Yay! It works!" Not that Celina had any doubts, but it was still amazing what could happen with a little bit of magic. "I love this...it was a great idea." Celina nodded and sighed. Walking up to Connor, she gently placed her hand under Connor's arm that had his watch on it, so that she could see the time without being annoying and asking again. "Does that say three on it?" she asked of him.

Green. Who could honestly say that they'd had their tongue changed to lime green? Not many people that Connor knew of. He laughed at Celina's outburst at the tingling feeling, it was wierd, kind of like a ticklish feeling on his tongue. As he took a few more bites it seemed that the brightness of his tongue was increasing a little. Not too alarming, but rather bright all the same. " Wooaaaaaha. " He said with a big grin at Celina when the girl stuck her tongue out.
The blue was really bright, a little brighter than the lime green. It was rather crazy-looking, which caused Connor to believe that they made an interesting pair. " I know, ice cream is a favorite, I must say. Especially the tongue-changing variety. " He added the last bit with another smile at Celina. Indeed, it was a great idea. He really wanted a photograph of himself with his green tongue protruding, but decided he would just have to wait. Connor then wondered how long it would take for it to wear off. He looked down to his watch and guessed an hour or two.
He had just been about to look back up to Celina when she walked over and grabbed his arm. Connor wasn't really sure what she was doing until he caught a glimpse of her looking down at his watch. " Three? Yeah. It's three forty five. " He answered. They had been there for just about two hours, that wasn't too bad for roaming around and getting ice cream.
