[Webby inhales deeply - my goodness! Look at all that!]
Food trucks! I've heard about these legendary machines from Dewey, but I wasn't sure I'd see them myself! They're just as majestic as he described!
[When being sheltered is both funny and depressing. Her eyes glitter as she takes each food truck in, trying and struggling to make a choice, but how?]
... Granny really doesn't like me to have sweets or anything with a lot of sugar in it.
[Which means they gotta find the most sweetest, sugar-jam-packed thing ever.]
[As sad as it is how sheltered most of Webby's life has been, Lena can't say she'll ever get tired of helping her fill in the blanks. Anything she wants to see, Lena will make it happen.
She nods and purses her lips, comically serious.] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Just as I suspected. I know exactly where we need to go.
[Lena leads Webby by their linked hands, clearly familiar with the layout of the area, until they reach a truck piled high with flavors of ice cream and toppings to pile high upon them.]
[Lena chuckles and nods at the proprietor, who's tickled pink at how enthusiastic Webby is over his truck. There's little cards where you can check off the flavors and toppings you want, and she fills one out quick as a bunny.]
Get whatever you want, babe, it's on me. [She's been saving for this date for a while now.] Oh, hey, pop quiz, though! What's Scrooge's favorite flavor of ice cream?
[Does he actually even have a favorite? Lena doesn't know. But if he does, Webby knows it.]
I can enjoy Scrooge's favorite ice cream! This is one step closer to wholly understanding his psyche! We were going to have a whole bunch of it when we were guilt-tripping the boys into making up with Scrooge... but, well, shadow war kinda ruined our appetite.
[That said, she checks off a few toppings and makes sure there's some chocolate with her kingdom hearts nod.]
[Lena may not fully understand Webby's love for all things McDuck, but it brings her joy, and that's what's important here. And as far as the Shadow War goes, she's progressed enough that she can even joke about it herself.]
Yeah, Shadow Wars're like that. But it all worked out okay! We're here, we're together, and Magica's out doing temp jobs or whatever.
[Their orders are presented to them after a moment's wait, and Lena picks them up with one hand.]
Let's go find a table and dig in!
[But what she hasn't noticed is that there's water on the pavement, from when it rained a few hours ago. And Lena is about to step into a puddle with those shiny new sneakers.]
[Not those beloved, beautiful sneakers! Webby does what she does best - acting without thinking.
Mere seconds before foot touches water, Webby has thrown her arms around Lena and picked her up, carrying her in her arms as easily as she'd pick up her dolls. Hup-hup.]

Allow me to introduce you to... Month of Sundaes!

Sunades... The unlimited potential of ice cream and toppings... Must resist urge to weep openly...
[But she can't resist drooling a little bit.]
