**Central Park - A Sunny Afternoon**
*Mizuki hops excitedly, her turquoise bandana flapping. Mikey skips beside her, grinning ear to ear.*
**Mizuki:** Can you believe we’re finally out? No more sitting around, staring at the ceiling!
**Mikey:** Right? This is gonna be epic! What should we hit first? The swings? The ice cream stand?
*Donnie adjusts his bandana, glancing at Leo, who’s pretending to focus on his phone.*
**Donnie:** The swings? Really? I thought we were too old for that.
**Mizuki:** Too old? Speak for yourself, Mr. Genius. You’re never too old for fun!
**Leo:** *rolling his eyes* Fun? More like a headache waiting to happen.
**Raph:** *smirking* You’re just scared you’ll get stuck in the swing again.
*Leo shoots Raph a glare, but Raph just laughs.*
**Nishamura:** *crossing his arms* I don’t see the point in this.
**Mizuki:** Oh come on, Nishamoron! Lighten up. We’re here to have fun!
**Nishamura:** *deadpan* It’s Nishamura.
*Mizuki grins mischievously.*
**Mizuki:** Yeah, but Nishamoron sounds cooler.
*Donnie chimes in, trying to steer the conversation.*
**Donnie:** How about we get ice cream first? I can calculate the optimal flavor combinations based on—
**Mikey:** *interrupting* Chocolate chip cookie dough! That’s the best!
**Raph:** *rolling his eyes* You always say that. What about mint chocolate chip?
**Leo:** *smirking* Is that your way of saying you want to steal Mikey’s?
**Raph:** *shrugging* Maybe.
*Nishamura shakes his head, clearly annoyed.*
**Nishamura:** This is pointless.
**Mizuki:** *pouting* You know what’s pointless? Being a buzzkill!
*Raph leans closer to Nishamura, smirking.*
**Raph:** Seriously, what’s it gonna take for you to join in? A kick to the head?
*Nishamura glares, but a flicker of amusement crosses his face.*
**Donnie:** *sighing* Fine. Let’s get ice cream first.
**Mikey:** *pumping a fist* Yes! Ice cream it is!
*They start walking, the conversation buzzing.*
**Mizuki:** So, who’s paying?
**Raph:** *smirking at Nishamura* You got the cash, right, Nishamoron?
**Nishamura:** *deadpan* No.
**Mizuki:** *giggling* I guess it’s back to the piggy bank for you!
*As they approach the stand, the smell of cones wafts through the air. Mikey looks up, eyes sparkling.*
**Mikey:** Look at all the flavors! This is heaven!
*Donnie squints at the menu.*
**Donnie:** I wonder if they have a flavor that actually improves brain function—
**Leo:** *cutting him off* Dude, it’s ice cream. Not a science experiment.
**Raph:** *nudging Mikey* Just grab what you want before Donnie starts asking questions about the chemical composition.
*Nishamura rolls his eyes again, but a small smile creeps in as he watches his siblings bicker.*
**Mizuki:** *grinning* So, who’s gonna try the weirdest flavor?
*Raph grins, pointing at a bizarre-looking concoction.*
**Raph:** I’ll do it! That pickle-flavored one looks like a challenge.
**Mikay:** *laughing* You’re brave!
*Nishamura turns to Mizuki.*
**Nishamura:** Just don’t let it go to your head.
**Mizuki:** *playfully nudging him* And you thought *I* was the buzzkill?
*As they order, the atmosphere shifts. Laughter fills the air, and despite Nishamura’s grumpy facade, a sense of unity emerges. They’re siblings, after all.*
**Mizuki:** *grinning* Ice cream and fun? Best day ever!
**Mikey:** *holding up his cone* To sibling bonding!
**Raph:** *raising his cone* And to not getting caught by Dad!
*They all laugh, the tension easing as they enjoy the moment, together.*
