Tina never took her eyes off Bette. “Yeah, really beautiful,” she agreed. “Let’s go outside on the catwalk.”
“What? I don’t know if I can go out there.”
“Bette, you climbed to the top. You have to do the catwalk. You can see a lot more.” She gave Bette’s hand a squeeze. “Do this and I’ll do whatever you want later.”
“Whatever I want?” Bette raised an eyebrow.
“Whatever you want,” Tina promised.
Chapter 23
Tina sat back in awe as she watched Bette eat her ice cream concoction like a child on Christmas morning. “Babe, what do you call that thing you’re eating…drinking again?”
Bette removed the long plastic spoon from her mouth and licked the back of it. “It’s called a Mister Misty float.” She gave Tina a child-like smile and closed her eyes to savor the flavor to the soft-serve vanilla ice cream. She placed the spoon back in the tall plastic Dairy Queen cup and sipped the lemon-lime slushy through the straw that accompanied it. “Ohhh,” she cried out.
Tina sat up and placed her hand on the Bette’s shoulder, concern etched in her face. “Babe, what’s wrong?”
Bette kept her eyes closed and let the sensation leave her body. “Brain-freeze.”
“Brain freeze?” Tina leaned back on the bench. “You had me worried.” Tina licked her cherry-dip chocolate ice cream. “Brain freeze,” she muttered. ”You know, when I said “whatever you want”, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.” She glanced at Bette, who sat happily and alternated between sipping the slushy and eating the ice cream and sometimes mixing the two together.
“Baby, you don’t understand. I haven’t had a Dairy Queen Mister Misty float in like….forever. The last time I had one was before I left for Yale.” She gave Tina a smile. “There’s no Dairy Queen in the city.”
“Bette it is soft ice cream and a slushy. I don’t understand what’s so special about it.” Tina said as she licked her ice cream.
Bette turned in her seat and faced Tina. She held the plastic cup out for Tina. “I want you to taste it.”
Tina rolled her eyes. “Okay, fine I’ll taste it.” She placed her lips over the straw and sipped. “Mmm.”

Great chapter. Feel for Bette with her fear of heights, that is not easy to overcome. Glad they finally go to Tina’s version of “whatever you want later.” That sprint to the bedroom should not have left any doubt in Bettes mind. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the update. Bette was cute with her ice cream
The technical name is spenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. Vessels constrict to give you a temporary headache because of the temperature of the ice cream on the roof of your mouth. (I think that’s something Sheldon would come up with…so the fact that people compare me to him does seem fair.)
*sphenopalatine
JKS…LMAO…I have CDO…it’s like OCD, but in alphabetically order…Sheldon, huh?
Great Story,great update.Thank you.PPS
Looove dairy queen too…yummm! Post soon…
they are so sweet
Oh, Crazies, ROTFLOL! Thank you all for the medical terminology and first aid. Will come in handy during next brain freeze episode. kins I will try the taste combo at DQ and let you know! Awesome chapter, tee, loved reading every word of it! PPS!
Love it thank you
…JKS and one way to combat the sphenopalatine thingy is to place your tongue to the roof of your mouth and press as hard as you can ..the pain will disappear instantly.. Trust me…! It also pulls in any double chin one may have enhancing looks instantly. What’s there not to like about it… As for the Dairy Queen mister float thing… I wonder if it tastes as wonderful as B says it does… After all isn’t she about to take a taste of something far more heavenly! thank you Tee..sorry for the delay… I was way led!
So it’s not just in the land of Dairy Queen that one gets treated “right”… Thanks, tg! :)
