"COLE!" I yelled. "LUNA!" he yelled. "FAMILY REUNION!!!!!!!" we yell at the same time. Best family reunion ever. "Well technically mom and dad aren't here..." I say. "I don't care. I don't want them to be." says Cole. "Me neither." I say and hug him tightly. He hugged back. We just stood there hugging for a moment. And crying. We did some of that too. We stood there for a while. Hugging and crying until we realized everyone was watching and Rin was recording us on her phone. Then we quickly pulled away and there was a long and awkward silence. "Sooo...." Says Liza. "Who wants ice cream?!" Yells Rin. A few heads shot out of the tents. I'm sure literally everybody ran to Rin. "Ok! Uh we only have 3 flavors available today since the recent problems with BlueHawk attacks and bandits..." Said Rin. "BUT, we have Rocky Road and Rainbow Sherbet so we should be fine." She said. There was a chorus of 'yays' from the children and Rin started walking towards a stone building. A few kids that looked about 6 or 7 ran ahead of Rin into the building. 2 minutes later, they came out with glass bowls filled with ice cream. I stepped in the building. It was like a freezer in there, cold and well ,more cold. There was a rectangular hole about 17 feet in length, 2 feet wide and 3 feet deep. The hole had been carved into a boulder apparently and insides were tubs of ice cream under a sliding glass 'door'. Most of the tubs were empty except for about 3. Just like Rin had said. They had Rocky Road, Rainbow Sherbet and Mint Chocolate Chip. There were glass bowls neatly stacked on the sides on the holes. The were in two separate piles. In one pile they were all clean and new. The other had remains of ice cream in them and metal spoons unevenly left in them. I took a bowl from the stack with all the clean ones (obviously) and a metal spoon. Then I waited in the long line for ice cream.
"Luna! Over here!" Yelled a familiar voice. It was Cole. He was sitting beside Rin, Liza and Lynna. They were all eating ice cream. I sat down beside them. "How do you make this anyway?" Asks Liza. "Oh, Shino is basically, our chef. She makes a lot of our food including the ice cream. You can meet her after we're done eating." Says Lynna. Liza nods. "Hey Lu Lu," says Cole. "COLE!" I whine. "What?" He says innocently. "Don't call me by my childhood nickname," I say. I look at Liza. I know she is about to explode with laughter by looking at her face. "Anyway, me and Rin are-" Cole is cut off by Liza laughing her face of. "Thanks so much," I mutter. "Dating." Finishes Cole when Liza stops laughing. "Wait really! What's the ship name I ship it!" I say. "Uhhh," says Rin. "Role? Cin? Rile?!!!!! Ok I admit those are all bad. Especially the last one," I say. "There isn't a ship name yet..." Says Cole. "No ship name?! Then Rile it is, who's with me, say 'aye'!" I exclaim. The was along awkward silence. "Ok, fine I'll think or a better one," I say.
"Should we meet Shino?" Asks Lynna, changing the subject. "Sure!" I say. "Why not?" Says Liza. "Well I've already met her but ok," says Rin and Cole at the same time. "JINX!" They yell. "JINX!" They yell again. We start walking to where Shino is supposed to be. We are accompanied by two immature 3 years old's yelling jinx at each other. When we are halfway there, I finally yell JINX at the same time as them, yell it again quickly and shut them up. "Thank you!" Says Liza. "No problem," I say officially proud of myself. "And just so you guys know, Shino works at the ranch so it's going to smell like horse and cow poop so get used to it or something," says Lynna. "Gross," I say. For the rest of the walk there, there isn't a lot of noise except for the occasional and distant 'moo'.
"Ok, we're here!" says Lynna. I look around. "All I say is a bunch of cows and carrots. It looks like a farm."I say. Liza looks like she's about to burst out in laughter again. "Ohhhhhh that kind of ranch, I thought you meant ranch dressing." I say. Liza starts laughing hysterically again. I roll my eyes and Rin and Cole are still mad at me because I jinxed them how do you undo a jinx again? "Hey, Lynna how do you undo a jinx, they look mad at me cause I jinked them." I say. "You have to say their names three times, I think just please don't," says Liza quickly. "What she said." says Lynna. "Fine. "I say. "Rin, Rin, Rin, Cole, Cole, Cole, are. You. Happy. Now?!" I yell. "Yup!" says Rin. "Nooooo" says Liza.
"Well here we are!" Said Lynna opening the barn door. Inside was a girl with short black hair and bangs. She was wearing green overalls and drinking a glass of chocolate milk. She looked up. "Hi,"she says and puts down her glass. "I'm Shino," she said. "And you are...?"
