{ } Having invited a special guest to come along with him and enjoy a day off near the beach, Derek waited for her to arrive so that he could show off everything he'd prepared. It had cost the trainer a very pretty penny, but it wouldn't sit right with him to be so stingy when this was their first time alone together. Besides, Derek was enjoying himself too! With two overlapped blankets sprawled across the sandy clay earth residing below, their spot had been up on a cliff overlooking the Tanba City beach down below. The distant sound of Wingulls and crashing waves created a particularly relaxing atmosphere, and all the while Derek had been tending to the grill which featured an array of savory meats one could smell with even the slightest of whiffs. Standing at the grill a ways off from the blankets, as he wasn't about to be caught looking a fool with such a fire hazard, Derek began to hear the gentle footsteps of what he'd hoped was his guest...

IRON CHEF & Iron Maiden Picnic "Aw now ain't this nice." Clad in a frilly white summer dress and appropriate beach sandals the self proclaimed Venus of the venue made her approach from up over the hill. The cliff-side location kept them up out of the sand, but just a short walk down to the water. Clouds billowed up into the blue sky moving with the breeze that carried the scent of the sea and gliding wingulls. The hem of her dress was pulled with it plastering to the front of her legs as she approached the blankets. "Ya damn near thought of everythin didn't ya Hoff." Dark honey colored eyes roamed over the spread laid out in containers to keep from the bugs and elements at bay till use. It almost look too nice, like it was for a special occasion or something. She stopped cold in her tracks, the smile freezing on her face as her mind rapidly flipped through her mental rolodex of possible moments of importance. She didn't recall him mentioning anything in particular over the phone about it. Ah well, she'd fish for information in due time. Leaning over she set down her own basket consisting of sun made sweet tea and the dessert menu and made her way over to the grill master at work. "I brought the tea 'n some dessert. How you doin darlin?"

{ } "Ooooo, dessert." Derek mused, quite curious as to what it could be. The surprise would just have to wait! Glad that his company had finally arrived, Derek finished flipping what was on the grill as he answered back to Eden. "Stellar, as always. I don't get to enjoy cooking like this much, so it's always fun to go all out, y'know? How about you? Encounter any trouble on the way here?"Hoping against it, Derek turned and unfastened the subtle apron covering his white shirt, tossing it on top of the blankets where he would be later seated. It took only a moment to acquire some of the sun brewed tea Eden had made for the occasion, taking a generous drink as he was quit parched from standing at the grill in this hot sun for so long. "Very good."This was, of course, directed at the sun brewed tea and it's delicious taste. Derek was by no means a big tea drinker, but he could certainly enjoy such a soft drink. And it did seem like something people would drink at a picnic. He felt just a bit better for not bringing a cooler with some kind of alcoholic beverage tucked beneath everything at the bottom. "So what's for dessert? I've got a mean sweet tooth going right now. Must be the tea, I think."MADE BY VEL OF GS + WW

HOmemade rocketfuel Go all out was right, she didn't know what it was but Hoff was gonna make one helluva housewife someday. He always seemed ta have that picture-een quality about him no matter what he did. Hell he could wear an apron better then she did. Her eyes rolled up towards the sky in silent self-beration. 'Damn it demons go 'way.'"How about you? Encounter any trouble on the way here?""Not so much trouble, more like a distraction. But don't you worry Hoff, I dun beat my demons inta submission. Ain't nothin gonna ruin this day." she spoke following him over to the blanket's and getting a glass of tea for herself as he let the compliment slip. "Oh trust me darlin already knew that, that's why the tea's equavlent ta rocket fuel. Made it just fer you." the final word having a bit of a higher pitch and drawing out a tad longer then it should've as her upper lip rose to crinkle her nose and her chin moved to her shoulder in a toothy grin so proud of herself for thinking ahead as she took a sip. Ain't no one gonna tell her she don't know what her men like. "Dessert ain't too fancy given the lo-cal. No offense honey-buns but ya just can't have some'n that'll melt out here." her hand reaching out and patting him just above his back pocket in comforting assurance that he was still in good graces as she made her way back to the grill. "So I dun made up a big 'ol Strawberry shortcake." Shortcake being said in the most gentle and soft of tone as her free hand rose up to her cheek in a whistlful sigh. Ain't no one gonna tell her them drugstore romance novels don't have good ideas in em. She spun causing her dress to billow out slight, her head turned to the grill now that he was out from in front of it to get a better look. "Aight good lookin, let's see whut ya got cookin." Her tea glass held up and resting against her shoulder as eyes moved down through the blue smoke that was being blown in the breeze to the rack hovering over the smoldering coals. "Oh my ain't this a spread." As curious orbs fell across, steak, burger, brats an good gravy boat was that grilled corn on the cob? Eden blinked clearly taken back by the "Ya dun out did yerself with this one." Everything even had them fancy char lines across them like you see in the commercials on the telly. "What's the occasion trinket?" she turned to face him a hand moving to her hip. "Cause now yer makin me feel bad iffen I dun missed somethin." ✖ 000 NOTES Notes. 07/22/16 CODED BY SYLVIE

{ } "Oh, no worries. Shortcake sounds great! It's actually been awhile since I had anything with strawberries..." Derek responded before being patted on his backside, and he couldn't help but flinch slightly at the touch, a subtle flush color rising in his cheeks. Fortunately enough, Eden had turned away at this point to go check on the grill and its contents. Taking a scarce moment to gain his composure by drowning himself in cool tea, Derek made sure to relieve Eden of her own worries. "Please, it's your company I wanted more than whatever you decided to bring. You can't have a picnic on your lonesome; that's just depressing!" And that was the truth. Without anyone here with him to enjoy the occasion, what would've been the point in all this? Why go out of his way to cook so much? He just needed a reason for somebody to come out and enjoy all the glory the beach had to offer, as well as some good food... Speaking of which, he could both hear and smell the smoke that billowed from the open grill before being carried with the wind. Moving up behind Eden to get a closer look, he leaned slightly over her to get a peak inside. "You think it's done?" He inquired, hoping she'd say yes because he. was. starving... You could tell because his stomach began to growl. MADE BY VEL OF GS + WW

Hello Satan how you doin Eden sighed in a heavy wistful manner, "Oh if I only had met you in first grade." Her ugly duckling years would've been more tolerable and not so barren. Honey colored eyes slid open and looked back down at the meats that were sweating their juice causing the embers to sizzle and flames to lick upwards. "I'd assume so, 'n less you got a preference fer charcoal." She said turning her head to look at his face that hovered over her shoulder. Like any woman she found her eyes giving his profile the fine tooth comb treatment leaving her stopping on the swath of skin that was his cheek. "Do you even shave?" the question coming out at random. "Cause you have got the most baby-faced skin I have ever seen. I mean look at it, it's flawless. Tsk" her tea moved from her shoulder to her lips as she shook her head. "Yer a silver devil is what you is." Her tone soft and teasing, the words one of her many back-handed compliments as she side stepped out of his way and moved over in a flurry of white skirt back to the blankets and dropped down beside the baskets to help serve. "Not that I mind havin a picnic with Satan, it's just poke me with a fork cause 'm done." her hands busy getting the plates ready as she pulled the sides and condiments towards her knees to better dish out and make the plates up. "You sure this ain't no special occasion 'n yer just playin hard ta guess?" ✖ 000 NOTES Notes. 07/22/16 CODED BY SYLVIE

{ } "Special occasion? No, not really. I'm sure." Derek said, laughing once lightly at how Eden seemed to think he wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for whatever she had in mind. "And I do shave! Just not that often..." Before he was able to move the contents of the grill to a ceramic platter, Derek caught himself rubbing his cheeks and chin, feeling for any roughness that facial hair would've provided. Sadly, there was none. Eden was right. "I hated school, to be honest. I would've played hookie every day if I could've. But my parents were pretty strict. For every day I skipped school, they said they'd make me wait another year before I could become a trainer. It wasn't until my rebellious teenage years that I realized they weren't the ones in control of that, but the pokemon league."Picking a bratwurst from the tray of cooked foods, Derek placed it in a bun before squirting some spicy mustard along it's broadside. From there he simply munched on the delicacy until it was no more. Eyeing up his next choice of food, Derek looked over to Eden with an inquisitive look. "So what made you decide against being a trainer?" Hoping not to offend, the trainer neglected to notice the piece of bun sticking to the corner of his lip while he asked. His puckered lips and face likely made for quite the humorous sight as he continued chewing the food. MADE BY VEL OF GS + WW
