What A Lovely Day (Open)

[Mrs. Angela Potts]

(ooc: June 13th. Afternoon.)

Mrs. Potts walked out with a picnic basket. She'd thought it was a good time for a picnic in the woods. She'd posted up flyers in the kitchen a couple days ago hoping people showed up. She, Brock, and others had made quite a lot. Whatever they didn't finish she'd just put back in the refrigerator. She had a blanket in her hand she set down and set the basket on it looking around to see if anyone else had followed her yet. She smiled at Brock as he joined her and set up more blankets.

"Yes it is." said Mrs. Potts.

Brock followed her having helped cook the food. He'd also brought more blankets setting them out to have a few squares of blankets together.

"This is a good day for a picnic." said Brock.

XXXX

Rogue flew to the woods and joined the group.

"Hello everyone. A picnic sounds quite nice. I'm glad I'm not too late." said Rogue.

XXXX

Goggles walked out with Harvey seeing the group and sat on one of the blankets.

"Thank you guys for putting this together. We all needed a nice break like this." said Goggles.

XXXX

Harvey nodded walking alongside Goggles.

"Hello everyone. A picnic like this sounds quite good." said Harvey.

[Chip]

Chip was holding hands with chowder when they made it to the woodlands. Chip managed to convince at least chowder to come along considering there was food. Schnitzel came along to make sure chowder obviously did not eat all the food presented to them. Chip sat happily near his mother, but chowder was jumping up and down and replied with a pretend deep voice "I got the needs to feed! Can't wait to eat!"

"Radda radda" Schnitzel corrected impatiently to chowder

"Oh um. Thanks for inviting us Mrs. Potts" Chowder replied politely "Now can I eat?"
XXXX

"Oh chowder you gotta have a little more patience sugar, let everyone show up first" Lottie politely, and kindly, corrected also. She did not feel like she wanted to miss some time with friends especially since harvey was here. She sat near mrs. potts and smiled to brock replying "Oh it's absolutely lovely! Oh I do love a nice warm day it's perfect for a picnic"
XXXX

"Yeah I gotta admit. This is pretty nice" Darby replied, blushing a bit as her cousin Camie was not too far behind her. She hoped camie wouldn't catch on about her crush on brock. If she did, camie would make fun of it granted her cousin would be supportive but she would deliberately try to embarrass her. Especially since darby had a tendency to do the same thing to her whether accidentially or otherwise.

"Sun is shining and got some good company. Yep so far this seems like a great time for a picnic" Camie commented. She sat on a blanket near darby and brock. She raised an eyebrow at the sight of her younger cousin staring at brock like he was a greek statue. Suspicious she definitely was.

[Mrs. Angela Potts]

Mrs. Potts smiled down at her son. She was happy and sad to see him at the same time. Happy to have him close to her but sad he could get hurt in this war. She'd already lost her husband. If she lost Chip she wasn't sure what she'd do. But she kept her fears to herself at least not talking about them around Chip. She didn't want to worry about possible dangers when they were here to have some fun.

"There's plenty of food. And we have some tea, water, juice, and soda depending on what you prefer to drink." said Mrs. Potts.

She smiled at Chowder and Schnitzel.

"You're both welcome my dears." said Mrs. Potts.

She then helped Brock set up the picnic. She was surprised to see him offer a white rose and ask Darby out. She could tell it took a lot of courage and yet she could tell he seemed nervous. The poor boy must have suffered rejection in the past. She stayed quiet not wanting to interfere or make things worse.

XXXX

Brock smiled at everyone.

"It looks like everyone's here. At least the people who said they'd come. Some may come late so we should make sure not to eat all of it. Or put in the basket. Thankfully some of the others have used magic and science to help preserve our food. So it won't go bad." said Brock.

He paused realizing his Pokemon probably would enjoy this day. He set out a few bowls for the Pokemon and then threw them into the air.

"Come out Forretress! Onyx! Geodude! Crobat! And enjoy this picnic too!" said Brock.

The four Pokemon came out of their Pokeballs and began eating the food Brock made for them. He then saw Darby and grinned. He was around beautiful girls here but Darby was the one who had caught his attention. And yet he was afraid to say anything. So many times he'd flirted or asked girls out only to get rejected. And yet he was gathering the courage. As he did he spotted a single white rose near some other flowers. He picked it up and made his way over to Darby.

"I saw this flower and it made me think of you. Would you do me the honor of going on a date with me?" asked Brock.

His eyes were open as he stared at her hoping she said yes. If she did it might be just like what happened with Professor Ivy.

XXXX

Harvey smiled at Lottie.

"He's a kid. He's already excited. I guess it's a good thing we chose a picnic in the woods. If they get hyped up on sugar they can run around and play games out here. Instead of feeling that hyper back at the houses." said Harvey.

He watched as Brock called out his Pokemon and they began eating.

"Always amazing to see Pokemon. Never thought I'd see them outside of a game or the tv shows and movies." said Harvey.

He smiled seeing the interaction with Brock and Darby.

"Looks like I may have a competition for being the romantic one on this picnic." said Harvey, with a grin.

XXXX

Rogue and Goggles watched as the food began as they served themselves watching in amazement at the four Pokemon.

"It's amazing they can fit in those tiny Pokeballs. I wonder if we could use that to store other things. Like weapons, or food. Would make things easier if we had to go out on missions or just for fun." said Rogue.

Goggles nodded.

"Definitely need to talk to Linkara, and the others to see if it's possible," said Goggles.

They both were quiet watching as Brock offered the rose to Darby hoping she would say yes.

[Chip]

(OCC: I might bring Lilo and Morpheus here. We'll see lol)

Chip smiled warmly, and appreciatively, as his mother explained the food and drinks they had. The boy looked around, sitting next to her and replied excitedly "It's been such a while since we've done a picnic, huh mama?" Chip looked up, as innocent as could be. He replied, graciously "Thanks for taking us outside, mama, I really love it" Chip then made himself, and his mother, a cup of tea and sandwiches. He hoped his gesture would show how appreciative he was. He knew their time here was precious. Despite his mother's protection, he was aware of how worried she was. He kept things cheerful for her to protect her in his own way. He didn't exactly want to tell her his fears, knowing it would only make her worry more. So he decided to enjoy the time spent, ignoring the elephant in the room. He smiled amusedly as Chowder pointed out Darby and Brock. Chip replied "Yeah, maybe, most people who are in love get married. At least that's what happened to Miss Belle"

Chowder gobbled everything in his path. Shnitzel smiled appreciatively, taking a cup of tea and some fruit. Chowder gulped his food down and turned to listen to Brock advise to make sure there was food left. In case anybody came by. Chowder sighed, saving some fruits, candies and meat. Chowder turned to see the forests and turned to Shnitzel "Hey Shnitzel, maybe later we can take a hike and look around" He smiled as Shnitzel nodded agreeement. He then giggled, playfully tugging at Chip as he saw Brock and Darby "Look, look at Brock, he's getting a girlfriend! Now they have to get married!"
XXXXX

Lottie giggled, nodding "Oh I know. I suppose you're right. Kids will be kids" Lottie smiled affectionately at the two boys eating and enjoying themselves. A part of her immediately wondered what her children would be like. If she had children at all. That was one thing she and Tiana wanted, to have families of their own. Lottie always wondered what she would be like as a mother. She looked to Harvey, eating some food before whispering to him "Harvey, honey, this is going to sound weird but have you ever wondered what it would be like if you had a kid of your own?" She then widened her eyes and smiled brightly at Brock and Darby. She clapped her hands a little "Oooh! Yay! I had a feeling that boy liked Darby. I'm a expert at romance you know?"
XXXXX

Camie enjoyed herself, eating and drinking with little care. She nodded "Brock's got the right idea. Save enough for anyone else" Then, suddenly, the mood shifted to romance. Camie looked to her cousin, smirking amusedly at how flattered and flustered she became. Camie stood up, teasingly but affectionately replying "How about you say yes? He gave you a white rose. Your grandma always told us that white roses mean the boy means it" Camie smiled as Darby quickly, and tenderly, pulled Brock in for a kiss. Camie chuckled, clapping her hands "Well, well, didn't know you had the guts kid" Camie replied firmly but supportively "Not to ruin your moment but let's make one thing clear. She's all the family I have. I'm her aunt. You make her happy. If I catch you messing around with her feelings, best know you will have problems. You got it?" Camie turned to Darby who exclaimed embarrassment and she replied "Hey, I'm your aunt, and I wanna support you, but I gotta make sure he knows what he's getting into"
XXXXX

Darby smiled warmly at the sight of Brock's pokemon. She always enjoyed his pokemon the most as they were like the pets she never had. She also loved Brock's company. She kept quiet for her feelings, unsure if he had feelings for another. So, it was a pleasant surprise to see him be so sweet to her. To her delight, he grabbed a white rose and went over to her. Telling him she was the one for him and he asked to be his girlfriend. She replied gently "I-I don't know what to say" Only to be stunned by her aunt's support. This finally motivated her to be honest with her feelings, she went over to Brock, lovingly giving him a kiss. Darby realized what she did and blushed "Sorry! Sorry! I-I-I just wanted to do that for so long!" She took the rose and held Brock's hand with a free hand "Yes, of course, I want to date you" Darby then gasped as Camie basically intimidated Brock. She gently shoved her aunt, snapping softly "Aunt Camie! You're embarrassing me! Don't scare him!" She turned to Brock, replying "I'm so sorry, she's overprotective"
