All 63 Flavors

Oddly enough, despite her serious demeanor, Amanda very much is a fan of all things sweet - which meant that when she’d heard a new ice cream shop had just opened, she knew she had to try all of its new flavors.

…For research, of course. To compare them to all other ice cream flavors she knew of and see which was the best. Obviously.

“Excuse me!” She said, practically slamming the door open. “I— is this the place that has sixty-three different flavor options?”

The lovabun behind the counter, Plum, giggled as she looked up from her work towards this new customer. “Yes, it is! You can see our entire menu up there—“

“All.” Amanda had only the brainpower to say this one word.

Plum just giggled a little in response, before she realized that this Equos was fully serious. “...Pardon?”

“I— I’d like to sample— er, buy, all of your available flavors,” Amanda said, trying to put her thoughts into complete sentences. “It’s fine if they’re just spoonfuls all in one big bowl—! I just… need to rank and categorize them.”

Plum’s smile grew bigger. “Well… alright. I just wanted to make sure you weren’t going to give yourself a stomachache… I’ll get you a bowl! It’ll probably total around twenty or thirty coins, if that works for you—”

“I’ll give fifty,” Amanda blurted out. “The— any extra can be a tip. Sorry.”

“Oh— well, that’s very generous of you!” Plum beamed, as she began to serve up the ice cream. “One of each… here, I’ll make sure that none of it all melts together - I wouldn’t want you to be unable to get all the flavors you’re asking for, of course!”

“Thank you!” Amanda said, her tail practically wagging behind her. She quickly put a stop to it once she noticed it. “I mean— yes. I’ll… this will be very useful to categorize them properly.”

As she ate the ice cream, however, the thought of ranking or categorizing any of the flavors left her mind as she was distracted by all of the delicious flavors.
