Derek and Bethany headed for the nearest ice cream stand, the worker was busily doling out scoops of frozen crystaline dairy product. The two walked hand-in-hand while Bethany carried Mr. Bunny with her other arm.
They merged with a crowd heading across a small pathway ahead when one man 'accidentally' bumped into Derek, part of a well-practiced routine. The man's bump broke the handhold that Derek and Bethany had.
Another man shoulder-checked Bethany, and though it was mostly deflected by Mr. Bunny and her musculature, she was still taken off-guard. As she spun around to see what had happened, a woman with the two men had already unclipped the strap on Bethany's purse and it slid it off as she turned to face the 'clumsy' man that ran into her. As the woman escaped, Bethany and Derek pushed their attackers away from them and the two men backed off from their 'accident'. "Sorry, sorry, I stumbled," the one man said. "My bad, man," said the other, his hands up in a "Sorry" gesture. Derek and Beth stared at them for a second before walking away cautiously toward the ice-cream booth.
Beth looked excitedly at all the flavors that the vendor had to offer, but settled on a cone of Butter Pecan; she pointed out her choice to Derek, and he ordered a Butter Pecan and a Mint Chocolate Chip. He paid for them and the two sat down nearby.
Settling into their ice cream cones and their newfound relationship, Bethany still kept a hold on Mr. Bunny, the fact that her purse was missing was hidden by Mr Bunny's considerable girth.
