It had been a long time since he had ice cream ever since his wife, Ellie, passed away. Before he met his young friend, Russell, he and Ellie would go get ice cream at the zoo's cafe together when they were on their breaks from their jobs. Ellie, the reasonably more excitable one of the two would order the Toucan Tutti-Frutti ice cream while Carl would request a humble a Vicuna Vanilla flavor. It was one of many moments he treasured deeply with his spouse.

And now, after having one of the greatest adventures of his life with Russell in South America, and learning to live again, he could now look forward to having ice cream again. He would still get a vanilla flavor, for old time's sake, but he'd try the Toucan Tutti-Frutti in honor of Ellie.

Besides, he had always been curious about how good it tasted.

A/N: This movie makes me cry tears of joy LOL. The characters and their relationships to each other is one reason why it's one of my favorite movies. :)
