Scene 1 – The Ice Cream Freeze

Hot summer air drifted across the seaside promenade as Nova, Milo, and Dr. Zaptain walked past tiny cafés and glowing ice cream stands.

Waves crashed softly against the rocks below while seagulls circled overhead.

Milo proudly held the largest ice cream cone he could find.

Three giant scoops leaned dangerously in the sunlight.

Nova: “OMG, that looks unstable.”

Milo: “This is professional-level ice cream eating.”

Before anyone could answer, Milo took an enormous bite.

He froze instantly, eyes widening as one hand grabbed his forehead dramatically.

Milo: “AAAAAAAAH.”

Nova blinked.

Nova: “That was fast.”

Milo squeezed his eyes shut.

Milo: “MY BRAIN IS FREEZING.”

Dr. Zaptain adjusted his glasses calmly.

Dr. Zaptain: “Ah. A classic brain freeze.”
