Between the preparations for the wedding, and the general tiredness, Apple needed this. Just a day at the park. The snow had been cleared away and the weather was warm.

"This is the life," said Apple, stretching out as she sat in the park with Amelie, surrounded by Amelie's Pokemon as she set out a picnic basket. "Just the kind of day to relax and have fun."

"I made apple treats," she added. "I got some pear things too as well."

"Jeanne?"

At Amelie's question, the Chesnaught considers for a few moments before rolling her wrist and pointing at a pear treat. Nodding, Amelie levitates it using her unicorn magic, duplicating it and floating one over to her starter. Eyes sparkling, she grins a little as the other one breaks in half and floats toward Apple.

"Say 'ahh'?"

Jeanne pauses in bringing the treat up to her mouth, watching Apple closely to see her reaction to being fed by Amelie.

[cidery]

Oh this was precious, Apple leaned over. "Aaah~!" She proclaimed, taking a bite of the treat.

"Oh this is delicious, Mrs. Apple did a great job at them!" Exclaimed Apple, practically squealing and holding her hands to her cheeks in delight.

[onaroll]

There's a brief pause before Jeanne eats her own treat, smiling just a little. Amelie, meanwhile, schools her features at the mention of Mrs. Apple.

"Oh, she showed me around the town when we arrived! She's nice, isn't she?"

As Amelie tries desperately not to blush, Hunter takes a second to climb on top of the picnic basket and pose, letting the sun shine off her sparkling emerald fur.

[cidery]

"She's so nice!" Exclaimed Apple. "I've never met someone who is just so pretty and so energetic in the older family crowd."

She picked up a apple tart and held out a slice for Amelie to take a bite out of. "Say aaah~!"

[onaroll]

“Ahhh~”

Amelie’s one regret is that since they are both ponies and only possess hooves right now, there is absolutely no way for her to kiss Apple’s hand or nibble her fingertips. Siiigh. At least the apple tart is delicious!

Meanwhile, Hunter’s posing has acted as a signal beacon for Joyuese, the falcon swooping in to land at a distance where the backdraft from her wings won’t scatter the picnic. As she hops over, she drops a dead lizard onto the blanket and bisects it with a slash of one talon, nudging the top half over to Hunter. In sync, the two Pokemon take the meat and cook it with a quick burst of flames before starting to eat.

[cidery]

Fortunately for the Pokemon's sake, Apple has a pet snow fox named Gala, and Gala has hunted her food in the past. She blinked for a moment at the two before smiling, and adding, "Looks like Hunter and Joyuese found food too. We'll have to stock up on small lizards and such for them."

[onaroll]

The two pokemon look visibly pleased at this declaration, Joyuese even going so far as to chatter a bit. Amelie’s smile turns soft and sweet.

“Ah, thank you...I’m glad you don’t have a problem with it.”

Scooting a little closer, Amelie kisses Apple on the cheek.

“It’s things like that that remind me why I love you so much.”

[cidery]

Apple giggled a little at the kiss and Amelie's response to that. "I have a pet fox at home, and she often brought home small animals for dinner. It wasn't like it was uncommon in my household either to grow up with fairy tales of danger and daring."

She smiled as she placed a hoof on Amelie's own and nuzzled Amelie back after a short kiss. "You're the best, Amelie."

[onaroll]

As Amelie cuddles up to Apple, the three Pokemon exchange a look. Gently, Jeanne coughs and raises one paw when Amelie glances over.

"So, listen, we wanted to make sure you're good for Amelie because we all love her, and...you are! Yeah! Congratulations, Ames, you have a winner! But, uh...Lord Xerneas is still gonna test her when we get back home, so...yeah. That's gonna be a thing."

A long pause.

"Also I can talk for some reason now. I dunno."

[cidery]

"I'm more surprised at the talking but thank you Jeanne," said Apple with a bright smile. "I promise to keep her safe and love her always."

She placed her hoof onto Amelie's own and curled up against Apple. "You're the best, Amelie. And thank you you three for putting your faith in me."

[onaroll]

"...they can talk?"

Amelie sort of absently leans into Apple, looking up at her with a bewildered expression.

"Apple, Jeanne just talked. Jeanne you are talking."

Pause.

"...Also you talk like a tomboy and I'm not sure why I'm surprised, you're a Fighting type."

[cidery]

"Shouldn't only psychics do that?" asked Apple. "Maybe it's due to the magic in this world."

"I mean, there's a lot of things that happen here after all."

[onaroll]

Jeanne sort of shrugs at that - she doesn’t have any idea either. Amelie is still processing.

“Xerneas can kind of talk? Or at least it’s easy to communicate with him, his sheer presence just sort of shoves words into your brain.”

[cidery]

"Hmm, I see. That makes as much sense as Jeanne being able to talk suddenly. But now we can hold a more direct conversation!" Exclaimed Apple, clapping her hooves together in thought.

[onaroll]

Jeanne nods.

"Yeah! It'll be great!"

[cidery]

"Sounds good to me. Jeanne did you want some tart?" she asked curiously.

[explosions_are_awesome]

"You're having fun." said Megumin as she watched the pair eat like that. "Hey."

[onaroll]

"Oh! Megumin!"

Amelie beams as she levitates an entire apple tart out of the basket, duplicates it, and sends the double over to Megumin.

"Apple, Jeanne, this is Megumin! When I announced our engagement, she was one of the people that congratulated us, and we had a very nice conversation!"

There's some wordless body language here to the effect of 'yes, she needs food, just roll with it'.

[cidery]

"It's very nice to meet you Megumin," said Apple with a smile. "Please, come and have some food."

[explosions_are_awesome]

"For free? Thanks!" Exclaimed Megumin, sitting down and taking the tart out of the air thanks to Amelie and taking a huge bite of it. "Oh wow this is good stuff!"

[onaroll]

Jeanne regards Megumin curiously before raising one paw to wave at her.

"Hello. You're the one that likes exploding, right?"

[explosions_are_awesome]

"Yeah I am," replied Megumin, chewing on the food. "I cast explosion every morning on that abandoned castle."

[onaroll]

Jeanne considers this for a second before putting her treat down and leaning a bit so she's off the blanket. With just a slight gagging sound, she spits out several large, round seeds. Amelie blinks a few times, frowning slightly.

"Jeanne...did you have to do that right now? You could have waited a bit."

Jeanne's expression is a mixture of realization and embarrassment, pretty much indicating that no, it hadn't even occurred to her.

"Uh...sorry, Felice. I just kind of wanted her opinion, is all? S'not like I could ask Tama-chan, you know what she's like."

There's a pause as Amelie raises one hoof in admonishment before stopping as the last part sinks in, causing her to look to the side and grumble to herself a bit before turning back to Megumin.

"Megumin? Jeanne's seeds are explosives, after you finish eating I think she'd like to get your opinion on them."

[explosions_are_awesome]

"Huh? Oh sure, I wouldn't mind at all!"

Strange place to put seeds as Megumin chewed through her tarte. "So you two just having a nice picnic and let me join in? And those monsters with you, they're your uh... Pokemon right?"

"Nice to meet you Jeanne." she added.

[onaroll]

Jeanne nods bashfully at the greeting and Amelie smiles.

"Well, this was mostly just a way for my Pokemon to get to know Apple, so another person is no problem at all!"

All Amelie had planned for this picnic was conversation and some light cuddling, so it's not like Megumin's presence is interrupting anything. In fact, she's already curled up at Apple's side. (She can move very quickly when she wants to.)

"Joyuese is still hunting, but...would you like to meet Hunter?"

At the mention of her name, the shiny Rattata perks up, ears wiggling.

[explosions_are_awesome]

"Yeah Igetcha, that's pretty cool." She grinned at Apple for a moment before adding, "I need to get you two something for your wedding."

"Oh cool, a mouse!" Exclaimed Megumin, stooping down to look at Hunter. "Aww, your Pokemon are all really cute."

Turning to Jeanne, she said, "You might be able to get a bigger yield of explosion if you decide to dry them or maybe plant them into seeds. And then explode the whole lot in a shower of awesome and petals."
