Who: Rise and you! [one locked prompt]
Where: Around Goldenrod
When June 1st
Summary: It's Rise's birthday. And with the Fourth Wall wackiness, she forgot to tell anyone. So here's a depressed Rise who now feels too awkward telling anyone.


Locked Prompt for Crocker

[Rise had found a bakery in the quieter part of Goldenrod. She was sitting at a table in the corner, surrounded by her Pokémon. Her Sylveon, Himiko, and her Umbreon, Chiisai, sat on either side of her, and a newly evolved Glaceon, Jin, laid beside Chiisai. Her ever present Meowstic, Nanako, was trying to cheer up her trainer by floating a burning candle and making it move in complicated patterns.

There was a very small smile on her face, though she still looked sad.]

Thanks, you guys.

Open prompt

[Rise's out and about town now, her usual smile very brittle. She'll nod to people she knows, but keeps walking, her Pokémon always at her side. If anyone pay attention, she's wearing a pair of black glasses, with small bands of color on the frames, a red Alice band, and a set of headphones around her neck. There's also a blue hat attached to a studded belt, buttons on the hat, and a random red rose attached to the band in her hair, and last, a black tie with barrettes attached. (Of course she's wearing clothes to match this look) These are not the usual things she wears, but items from her friends. She had wished for keepsakes from home, and they had been on her bed that morning.

At least something was going right today. Her thoughts are all over the place, so it'll be hard to get her attention.]

Dating can be a lot of fun. But... I think I'm done just dating anyone that asks me. I'm going to be one who asks!

[It's not always a good thing.]

[paopuprincess]

Date whoever makes you happy. [She smiles.]

[dangerousidol]

..... [She goes quiet at that.] ..... well, I'm pretty happy right now.

[paopuprincess]

[She rests her head on Rise's shoulder, quiet.]

[dangerousidol]

[She takes Kairi's hand and squeezes it gently. Yeah, happy was a good way to describe this feeling.]

[paopuprincess]

[Her fingers curl around Rise's.]

I could stay up here forever.

[dangerousidol]

Mm. Me too.

[paopuprincess]

[She turns and looks at Rise, still on her shoulder.]

[dangerousidol]

[She blinks and looks at Kairi.] Hm?

[paopuprincess]

[With slight hesitation, Kairi leans up and pecks Rise on the cheek.]

Thanks for the great time.

[dangerousidol]

[At this, Rise blushes. She looked rather surprised, though it quickly faded to a shy smile.]

If you want, we can always have another date.

[paopuprincess]

We can talk about it. [She squeezes her hand.]

[dangerousidol]

[She squeezes her hand back, though her her heart did something like a painful flop. That didn't sound like something positive. It sounded to her like something a girl would say to a guy instead of saying 'no'. She looks back out at the city to hide any look of disappointment she might have.]

Why don't we go get that cake now?

[paopuprincess]

[She giggles, nuzzling into Rise's shoulder and stroking her hand. Clearly her teasing wasn't going to work right now.]

I'd love to go on another date with you. In fact, I want to stay up here just a little while longer.

[dangerousidol]

[Rise looks at Kairi with another look of surprise.]

Eh? Really? You're not just saying that, right?

[paopuprincess]

Why would I do that? I've had so much fun.

[She looks up at her.]

[dangerousidol]

... I'm glad. I've had lot of fun, too.

[Okay, Rise has to admit that Kairi is very cute. Don't do anything stupid.]

[paopuprincess]

Is there anything else you want to do? It's your birthday, so I want to make sure tonight is everything you want.

[She smiles.]

[dangerousidol]

[She thinks hard and nods.]

I've always wanted to do something they do in romantic movies... go into a photo booth and take cute and silly pictures!

[paopuprincess]

[She's seen movies like that! Kairi giggles.]

Is there one nearby?

[dangerousidol]

There's one a few floors down in the store! Let's go~

[paopuprincess]

[She runs with Rise, following her back down to the elevator, down a few floors, and into the little photo booth.]

Okay, so what poses should we do?

[dangerousidol]

[She hadn't realized she was so excited that she had ran till they got there. She takes a deep breath to recover and looks at some of the examples.]

A lot of these are cute... Wow, they have some of people kissing! I never saw those on any machines back home.

[She points at a few of them.] How about those?

[paopuprincess]

[The kissing couple on the side of the booth makes her blush, but she laughs it off.]

You sure this isn't some ploy to just kiss me? [She teases.]

[dangerousidol]

[She blushes at the teasing. In return she gives her a sly smile.]

Oh no~ You found me out!
