She could already see her sister running around playing make believe in a princess dress.

Did she feel slightly guilty at laughing at her brother when she saw his frown? Maybe just a little. Though she knew it was a fake, she also knew it wasn't fun to laugh at someone else's expense... especially if they were in pain. "Oh! I saw a chocolate frog flavor that looked like a good choice for next time," Maya offered. "But hopefully it doesn't have real frogs..." That would be a weird ice cream flavor... chocolate and frogs.

"Did it taste like a Red Hot?" Maya asked. She looked at the bowl yet again. It had been moved closer. How spicy could it be? "Yeah, Bertie Bott's mystery flavor ice cream cake in a magic ice cream parlor sounds like the best birthday ever!" Or maybe in a library? But she'd hate to damage any of the books if anyone was particularly messy... "I'm going to try it."

Determined, Maya wiped her spoon with a napkin once more and reached towards the supposed cinnamon flavored ice cream. Getting just a smaaaaaalllll little bite of it, she let the ice cream melt on her tongue before her eyes shot wide. "SPICY! SPICY!!!!!" Maya exclaimed loudly while laughing. She could feel tears coming to her eyes as her throat lit on fire. She opened her mouth and fanned it, knowing it wouldn't help but hoping anyways. Then like her brother, she took a huge spoonful of ice cream - not Bertie Bott's - and calmed down, allowing the burning to turn into a nice tingle of pumpkin.

Oooohhh, a birthday party was a good idea! "Hey!! Why don't we ask Mom and Dad about coming here for Noah's before he and I leave for school!? We could even surprise him and invite some of his friends!" If he could figure out who his friends were before end of summer and his brother's birthday, that was. So far he only knew Noah had a girlfriend but he couldn't even remember her NAME. So... that would be a dead end. "Lisa would definitely love it. She might try to talk us all into buying her ALL the flavors." And she might actually succeed with Noah.

He wasn't at all actually offended by her. He might have laughed too if the situations were reversed, because he assumed his face really DID look kind of funny. Chocolate frog was apparently supposed to be good! "I might try it next time!" He grinned at her, before chuckling at her next statement. "That was my first reaction too! I have a friend who told me though Chocolate frogs are really JUST chocolate but like... they have a charm on them so that they can try to jump away. It's not a real frog." He'd been very, very concerned at first just exactly what kind of snacks magical people ate.

"Kind of. But like, if you ate a whole giant handful of them all at one time." He'd done that before. It had not been pleasant. "...Tell me now that that is NOT what we should do for Noah's birthday cake if we throw him a party." Because while he was not much of a practical joker, that idea sounded too good to really ignore.

His smile that was previously on his face faltered a little when she went for the ice cream, and his eyes widened at her reaction. Yes, she was LAUGHING, but she was also CRYING and he felt guilty for encouraging her to try it! She did look a little funny sitting there fanning at her mouth, but STILL brother guilt. He was about to tell her to go for a different flavor when she shoveled some pumpkin in her mouth and he gave a small sigh of relief. "Soooo... definitely skip the Bertie Bott's next time?"
