Caramel Caribou, Chicago Style

Boring disclaimer stuff:  I'm only borrowing the boys and Dief.  They don't belong to me, no copyright violation is intended, I'm using them carefully -- well, sorta -- and returning them undamaged.   As near as I can tell.  <g> The story itself is mine.  Permission to archive only on the Due South archive at hexwood, or Sheshat's Library.   ::waves::  Thanks much, sis, for the home!

Rating:  PG, Humor (or Pure Silliness), PWP.  (The PG is only for one or two words, just to be on the safe side.)

Series:  First in the Ice Cream series.  See Notes, below. I'm working on the second one, but I've got to get some more real-but-oddball ice cream flavor names ... and the guys haven't been talking much to me lately, at least not about the funny stuff.

General Notes: The Original Ray.  This takes place in that nebulous time between the second and third seasons.  I  don't have the faintest as to where this idea came from; I just heard the name of the ice cream, and instantly thought, "Due South!"   As to synopsis?  For once, it's  Benthat gets -- *gasp* --  besmirched!!! Ray practically has hysterics as a result; revenge at last!  And Dief-- Well, you'll see.  Oh, the horror!  ::covering eyes::

There really  is an ice cream called Caramel Caribou, as described in this story; word of a Mountie!  But alas,  Ben & Jerry's doesn't make it.  It's some local brand an online friend told me about.  (Thank you, Molly; this is all your fault, you realize...)  I have no idea who the heck the manufacturer is.  (I know, at this rate I sound totally clueless about  anything.)   Neither did my friend; and who would recognize it anyway?  So I'm borrowing B&J too, as the distributors, and attributing this flavor to them.  You've got to admit, it sounds like one of theirs.   They do have a store in Chicago; I checked their web page.  ;))   So at least one part of this is correct!

Thanks again to the AOL DS gang for beta-ing and encouragement, especially Jenn S.  Naturally, any faint cheers of encouragement, chocolate, Mounties and/or original cops are appreciated.  Oh, yeah, that constructive criticism thing--ok, that too.  Any flames will be edited, checked for spelling, grammar and originality, and returned redlined for corrections needed before acceptance for the round file.  You can reach me at MonicaPDX2@aol.com.  TYK!  And hope you enjoy.
