Slushie Quest: Part 11
Written By Fallout

“Welcome to Freezy Treats, what can I get you?” Sally asked the next customer in line with a smile.

As the heat wave continued, customers kept pouring in the front doors of Sebastian's Freezy Treats shop. The usual crowd had somehow done the impossible and multiplied with customers lining up out the door and around the corner on most days. It had gotten so ridiculous he wondered if he should hire someone to hand out water to people in line so they didn't get dehydrated waiting in the hot summer sun.

Sebastian looked up from analyzing profits when he heard the door open and saw his newest business partner, Powderpuff, standing in the door. “Squeak, squeak!” Powderpuff said in a panic.

“We're out of slushie again?” Sebastian replied. “Start taking some out of the emergency reserves while you make more!” Powderpuff nodded and left the room, the jingle of his little shoes softly disappearing into the noise outside the office.

Well, at least Sebastian knew the new product was a big hit! The Golden Slushie proved to be the very thing needed to reverse engineer a new kind of slushie that was so delicious that Freezy Treats had crowds even on colder days and the winter season! He just wished poor Powderpuff could keep up with the demand without running himself ragged.

The little poof reappeared at the doorway and squeaked again like a lirionox toy. “Is it really closing time already?” Sebastian asked. He looked out the window where people were retiring to their tents that they had pitched in anticipation of tomorrow's opening day. “Wow, the days just don't seem long enough anymore!”

“Squeaky squeak...”

“Ha ha, I guess you're right. They do go slower when you're working the counter.” Sebastian packed up his work into a safe, where the Golden Slushie recipe safely remained hidden. “Come my little friend. Let's go out to Mistica Cuisine to celebrate our victory.”

And thus our tale comes to an end. We hope you enjoyed our silly tale of ice cream and slushies! And by “we”, I mean me and all the voices that live in my head and tell me to write things!
