Taking Tsukiya out for ice cream

Kairi and Tsukiya walk into the ice cream parlor together.

Tsukiya runs to the counter and climbs onto one of the stools. He presses his hands and face close to the glass. He looks back at her, wide-eyed with delight. "Can I really get any kind I want?"

Kairi laughs and smiles at him.
"Yes Tsukiya, you can have any kind you want. You can have more than one kind if you want."

Tsukiya smiles widely then looks back at the glass. He raises eyes from the glass and looks at the attendant. "Can I have Rainbow Sherbet please?" He asks politely. The attendant smiles and nods then makes the ice cream and hands it to him. "Here you go cutie, enjoy!" She smiles. Tsukiya takes the cone then looks down blushing. "Thank you, mam..." He mumbles then climbs down from the stool.

Kairi sits down in a booth farthest from the counter and motions for Tsukiya to sit next to her.
"So, you want to talk now?"

Tsukiya smiles then walks over to her. He works his way into the seat then looks at her, smiling sweetly. "Kay!" He replies cheerily then starts to lick the ice cream. "Dad says...you should talk about your problems...he says it's not good to bottle them up....so what's the matter, Ms. Kairi?" He asks between licks.

Kairi sighs.
"It's difficult to explain, but I will try for you."
She smiles at him.
"Well.......You know how Ezra completely loves your sister?"

"Uh huh...daddy said....it's like he....can't keep his hands off her....he also said...he doesn't like that very much." Tsukiya says still eating his ice cream.

Kairi laughs.
"Yes, I suppose that is true"
She leans closer to him and begins to whisper.
"Well, between you and me, I am kind of very jealous of her."

"Really? How come? She's not all that special, if you ask me. But I guess it's 'cause I live with her..." He pauses and looks at his ice cream. "Ms. Kairi, how come Ezra likes her so much?" He asks.

"Slow down Tsukiya! One question at a time."
She laughs and smiles at him.
"I'm jealous of her because my little Ezra would do anything for her. He's always with her, and he never has any time for me anymore. He never listens to me, and it seems like he doesn't care about my feelings anymore. I'm not saying I don't like Mitsuki because of all this, I really do. I just miss the old Ezra.."

"Well I didn't really meet Ezra 'til now, so I only know how he is now...but daddy says that if someone is changing for the worse, you should talk to them about it."

"I've tried Tsukiya...I've really tried..."
She sighs.
"He used to be so sweet and innocent. I was his everything. He looked up to me, he respected me, he loved me. We would stay up late into the night playing games together. We would bake cookies and sing songs and just have fun..."

Tsukiya licks the ice cream down to the cone then starts to bite at it. "Well...maybe if Mitsuki...didn't see him that much....then maybe you could have enough time to talk to him." He says.
