CxB Week 2017: Retro

"What kind of food goo are you attempting to feed me?" Brainy stared at the oddly shaped glass that was thinner as it went downward and had a stand at the bottom that kept it from toppling over when set down. Inside the glass was something pink and… goopy.

"It's not goo," Clark pouted, "It's a strawberry milkshake."

"Milk does not shake," Brainy tipped the glass to look inside a bit. "And its spoiled seeing as it's solidifying."

"It's not spoiled," said Clark. "Milk is just one of the ingredients; it's a dessert beverage."

Brainy moved the straw in the glass a bit and frowned, "I'm supposed to drink this?"

"It's strawberry," Clark insisted, "You like strawberries."

"I do but this does not have the appearance or texture of strawberries," Brainy moved around the straw more to emphasis his point.

"This was supposed to be romantic," Clark sighed. "Drinking a milkshake together with two straws-"

"Two straws in the same cup? Do you have any idea how much backwash there would be?"

"-Would have been just like a Sock Hop."

"How do you make socks hop?"

Clark chuckled, "Next time you come to the past with me, I'll take you to Al's; he has a jukebox."

"Okay, now you're just making words up," Brainy rolled his eyes but gave in, giving the milkshake a tentative sip. He wondered if this Al had other milkshakes for him to try, though he was going to refrain from the two straws scenario.
