Brainfreezers

After buying both hotdogs and corndogs, Guinevere with the two bubbly Leonins walking infront of her, then made their way around the lively fun park to get to the Brainfreezers stand.

As they walked, Guinevere couldn't help but notice the way some people were looking at her like she grew two heads. Was it because she wasn't wearing her iconic purple bow? She somehow lost it in the sea of panicked people in the Horror Castle.

She couldn't help but shiver from their eagle eyes. Thankfully, Granger's jacket, which was big for her, made her feel warm. Maybe winter was coming?

Aside from the black jacket being warm, it also smelled so good! Guinevere have been wondering what perfume and fabric softener Granger use since they first bumped. It was really distinct.

They turned to a corner, then a large blue stand was in view. It was decorated with real snow and ice which caused the surrounding area to be cold.

'Oh it wasn't because of the changing season. It was because this place was actually cold!'

A large sign of 'BRAINFREEZERS' with blue neon lights was at the top, glaring to all people who could see.

Brainfreezers were the infamous sweet frozen carbonated drinks in the Fun Park. It was known for their sweet electric coldness. Just one sip and you'll get brainfreeze! And it was very addicting and surprisingly have healthy benefits too.

"Hello Vagrant Poet--! Oh sorry, I thought you were Granger. But what a surprise. Oho! I see...welcome!" The lady dressed in pastel blue oddly smiled at them when they stood infront of the shop.

"H-Hello, Queen Aurora! I'm Guinevere Baroque." Guinevere couldn't help but greet back politely. The two leonins soon followed a greeting. The Queen sized her up.

The intimidating Queen of the North herself was selling her drinks at the fun park! What an unexpected twist!

'Wow! Royals have a lot of time on their hands, now that the war is over.'

"I didn't know Granger got married. You look lovely in Granger's clothes! Youngsters nowadays share each other's clothing like a mark, I see..." Queen Aurora gushed, which made Guinevere lost her soul for a moment.

'HUH?! Do I look like Mister Alucard??'

"What? No! I mean... Pardon me, your highness but Granger and I are not m-married! I'm his friend!"

Guinevere tried clearing up the misunderstanding. It dawned up to her that wearing Granger's jacket was a big responsibility.

"Ahh! Not a wife but a girlfriend, I see, I see.."

'Oh Gord! They don't know Granger is the future wife of Mister Alucard! Granger and I?? Impossible!!'

"That's not..." Guinevere lost her voice when the Queen proceeded taking their orders.

"I assume you three wanted to order the Brainfreezers?" The three, especially Harith nodded, his tail wagging behind him.

"Four Brainfreezers please, Mrs. Ice Queen! Grangey will be here any second now." Harith added as politely as possible. Harith and Nana were in charge of choosing the flavors since Guinevere was not familiar with the drink.

"Sure! The orders of Special Brainfreezers will be complete in a minute! It's on me dearies." Aurora smiled benevolently.

"Eh? Thank you, your highness, but I will pay for our--" Guinevere was the one who was supposed to pay for their food and drinks!

"No buts, dearie! Such a lovely girl you are! I see now! Ohoho!" Aurora grinned and winked at someone behind Guinevere.

"Come closer, my dear..."

Guinevere was at a loss but nonetheless she stepped forward. The smiling Queen Aurora had rested her chin on her snow white hands. Pun intended.

"Let me tell you something about Granger. That young man has helped me retrieve my favorite pet penguin when it got abducted by that stinky Octopus Pirate Captain to an island far away from the north. Since then, we've become allies. He's a really good friend, so in return, him and his special ones can get free drinks from my store!" Queen Aurora told the young miss of the Baroque family the reason why she was giving them special treatment.

"Oh my! That's amazing! He is indeed a very dependable friend!"

Guinevere immediately forgot of the misunderstanding earlier and was astonished with her story. She didn't know Moniyan Empire's Demon Hunters could be called to a mission like that. Queen Aurora was delighted with Guinevere's response.

"Order is complete!" One of the snow golems announced. The Frost Queen then handed Guinevere their drinks and four bamboo straws.

"Thank you so much!" Guinevere, Nana and Harith made sure to show their gratitude to the Queen of the North.

"Thank you, Queen Aurora! Come on, guys. I have found a perfect place to rest and eat." A deep voice resounded behind the them.

"Don't hesitate to come back again with your friends, Granger dear!" Granger only nodded and led the three to a secluded area with vacant picnic tables which was far from prying eyes.

"Queen Aurora is so kind! Oh right! Grangey, did it go well?" Guinevere handed the drink that already have a bamboo straw to the guy, once they got seated.

Since the younger heroes were still energetic, he sat beside Guinevere to protect her wound and the kids were across them. With two clingy and bouncing fluff balls, it was inevitable that they would accidentally hurt Guinevere. He planned to make this day short and send Guinevere to Dr. Rafaela's clinic.

Granger sipped his drink as he nodded his head.

"It went well. And they promised that an accident like that will never happen ever again." Granger's eyes were alert despite casually scanning the area once more.

He didn't told her the whole details of his brutal way of getting his words across. The staffs were already in chaos when he got there because someone broke in and tried trampling with the controls.

Their batch weren't supposed to go to that hallway of claws because it was still in its early stage of development. But someone wanted to hurt one of the visitors. He then contacted the S.A.B.E.R. squad for a thorough investigation. And of course, he didn't forget to beat the shit out of the staff who was responsible for letting the intruder inside.

"Oh my! You two are right! Hotdogs are better than hamburgers!" Guinevere exclaimed.

Granger's somber expression turned into an amused one, and raised his eyebrow up at Guinevere's remark.

"Miss Violet, you're hurting my feelings as a burger lover! I overlooked Harith's comments earlier but now it really hurts when you agreed!" Granger feigned his heart getting crushed. Guinevere, including the two felines laughed at his antics.

"Then shall we feast on your share?" Guinevere taunted. Nana and Harith helped her tease him by placing his food infront of him as if they were in a t.v. commercial.

"We're going to eat this Grangey!"

"Mister Death Chanter's corndog shall be mine to take! Meow!"

"Three versus one? Am I getting bad karma from making fun of that old man Alucard?" Granger crossed his arms.

Harith and Nana pushed Granger's food to his side of the table and slinked back to their seats so they could eat their food. Guinevere couldn't believe her ears!

'Oh my fangirling heart! The shipping goddess is blessing me too much! Granger misses Mister Alucard!! I am so happy! Suddenly the pain in my shoulder almost vanished!' Guinevere munched on her corndog happily.

"Hmm...I think I know how you could repay me, Guinevere Baroque." Granger said. His face bare no trace of joking around.

Guinevere was suddenly pulled out from her fangirling mode.

"W-What do you mean?"

Guinevere didn't know why he was taking his words back. She's getting a bad feeling about it.
