Log:
[To say that John was "looking forward" to his second date with Rose would be a gross understatement. He had barely been able to sleep the night before they left and ended up knocking on Rose's door at five in the morning because he'd finally given up on the notion of sleep entirely. Plus, weren't you supposed to leave early for camping trips?]

[Unsurprisingly, Rose hadn't expected him that early. She'd given him a very bleary look, stepped back into her room to give her clock a bleary look and then asked "...are we leaving 'lready?"]

[Even less surprisingly...she'd fallen right back asleep the minute they had both clambered inside Elliot and gone on their way. But that was okay. Because she had fallen asleep on John's shoulder and he had absolutely no qualms with that at all.]

[And then a few hours later, his excitement wore off and he too fell asleep. Wow, their trip was off to a great start already!]

[Elliot wasn't the fastest pokemon but fortunately, being a ghost, he didn't really need a lot of sleep. So their four day trip ended up taking only two. Once inside the forest, Elliot went back inside his ball for some much needed rest while the two kids shouldered their packs and began walking through the forest, hand-in-hand.]

[Surely this was going to be the best camping-trip-dino-hunt-vacation-date-extravaganza ever! ~~Also possibly the first ever, because seriously, who besides John would come up with something as crazy as this?~~]

[[She doesn't say anything to that. But after a few minutes of silence and enjoying hugs, she pulls away and looks up at him with a tiny smile.]]

...do you know what?

[Tiny head shake.]

No. What?

[[Just leaning up to kiss his cheek once more.]]

I don't want you in any quadrant. Do you know why?

[Another headshake. No Rose, he has no idea. Especially considering how you asked him to be your matesprit on your first date. He thought you wanted quadrants. So he's just all kinds of confused now.]

[[Okay Rose.

This is the part in the movie where you are supposed to lean in and kiss him. Just a quick one!

It doesn't have to be anything deep or intimate!

...come on, you can do it, it's just a kiss.

......nope. Another kiss to the cheek.]]

Because you take care of everything I need as my boyfriend.

[He looks a little stunned at that. Happy, but stunned nonetheless.]

Everything?

[[And a nod.]]

Everything.

[Okay he's just...going to hug you now, Rose. Very tightly. If you have no objections to that, that is.]

[[She certainly doesn't, and just sighs contently at that. This is much better.]]

And, for the record John? I feel much better now.

[Good. Because he's still holding on pretty strong right now. Hug time is forever apparently.]

But are you all better?

John, no one can be all better, but I am pretty close.

Okay...if you're sure. And you're not lying to me to change the subject, right? [SUDDENLY ALL OF HIS SUSPICION.]

Not at all, John. I promise.

Okay, I believe you. [And pulling away a little so that he can look her in the eye.] So just Father and Karkat then? Or is there something else bothering you? May as well get it all out now, you know?

I know, but yes that was it. Thank you though.

You're welcome. So what do you want to do then? We cou-- [Before he can finish, something outside of the tent catches his attention and his face brightens considerably.] Oh! No wait, I know. Quick, Rose, come on! [Grabbing her hand, he begins tugging her towards the entrance of the tent.]

[[Squeaking, she follows. John, she's in her pajamas! But not complaining, just giggling at his insistence.]]

Where are we going, John?

[Tug, tug, tuuuggg!]

Just outside. Come on, put your shoes on.

[Because there are rocks out there and they suck when you step on them, as he well knows. Se he too, is pulling his his shoes on.]

[[She does, then waits for him to continue.]]

Well I figured that much.

You'll see!

[And with that, he unzips the tent and pulls her outside. Like the good girls they are, Casey and Guile are outside...doing Casey and Guile things. Whatever those are. Undoubtedly something silly and adorable. For once though, John seems to be paying them no attention, instead scanning the area with a concentrated look. He knows he saw one...now where did it go?]

[[Giving both the Pokemon a few pets, she takes John's hand and glances around as well, leaning against him a little.]]

What are we looking for?

You'll see, hold on. Ah! There!

[What did he see? That's a good question as there doesn't seem to be anything in the direction that he's determinedly leading them.]

[At least, not for a few seconds.]

[What was that little yellow flash of light there? Oh wait, there's another one! And another! And about ten feet later, there's a small clearing with a whole bunch of little dancing yellow lights.]

[So how do you feel about fireflies, Rose?]

[[At first, she doesn't see them, but when one and then two and then five start coming into view....well, she's a little enchanted. She's seen fireflies before, sure. She lives out in the woods after all.

But there's something about seeing them with a friend - your boyfriend, no less - that just...makes them that much more magical.]]

...I didn't think Johto had these....

Well then...surprise! I don't think there are a lot here. I saw a few some nights on our way back from Violet but...I think this is the most I have seen at once.

[Let's see if he can get one to land on his finger...nope, apparently not.]

Man, it's too bad we don't have a jar.

I always assumed they would be Pokemon.

[[She thinks a moment, then squeezes his hand and turns back for the tent.]]

I'll be right back!

[[She's going to jog off before you can say anything, sorry. Once she reaches the tent, she'll be slipping off her shoes, crawling inside, and opening her knitting bag.

Because guess what she has in there.

A jar of needles.]]
