Frightful: <Thank you.>

-She picks up the nuts for Shahinne, then places them with the other gifts before zipping to an unoccupied perch.-

-Frightful looks around at other bird-mon. watching all the proceedings with interest.-

PEFE HQ

-Shahinne manages to temporarily notice that she also falls within Salamence's grasp. As does Fortis.-

Shahinne: <Eeeeee~ I love this fluff!> -- sinks herself in fluffspace, not enough to fall withi Fluffspace though.

Harriet -from the distance: <Girls! Picnic is ready!>

Shahinne -still somewhere deep in fluffage: <...Marco?>

-Meanwhile, Sol and Copahue start producing some food of various kinds, both for human and Pokémon. Sol for the most part takes charge of getting everyone their own spot, while Silent starts preparing some sandwiches.-

Sol -thinks for a moment: <The big bird-> -- points to Frightful -- <said she came with a gift. Should we begin with that or with the food?>

PEFE Picnic HQ

-Silent notices Frightful looking around, smirks-

"This is a picnic for birds, Frightful. I spared quite some thoughts for them."

-He goes to a nearby tree and drags in a bag with some pieces of meat, among other pleasantries such as a can of worms. He then picks one piece of meat from the rest and offers it to Frightful as an entrée-

-Shahinne meanwhile is greeted by her official unofficial Aunt-

Shahinne: <Eeeeee~ Hi Auntie!> -- hears Frightful calling, but mistakes it as coming from inside the fluffspace -- <Oooh? Marco? Dratini are you there?> -- and digs further.

-Silent notices Fortis, as does Ichtacya, who barks and waves a paw-

"Hey, Fortis, come in here! Join the picnic!" -- points to a tea set in pristine condition.

Harriet: <So.... Frightful?> -- glides nearby hoping to not interrupt noms -- <How is mister Ren doing? We haven't seen him since the exhibition...>

-Frightful screeches with delight at seeing the meat scraps. She takes whatever she's offered.-

-When Harriet lands next to her Frightful gulps down a piece of what tasted like Doduo leg meat.-

Frightful: <Well, Ren wanted to sweep the All four grand festivals before he retired from being a Full Time coordinator... but some obscura spell hijinks screwed up that plan. Ren and Silent also had a friendly battle that ended in a tie - as well as Ren and Silent working together to send a group of Fairy types packing. Ren was feeling confident he could enter into the Kalos Hall of Fame, so he was admittedly a bit down after tieing with the Kalos' Champion. Currently he's with the rest of the group in Almia, but he sent me to try to teach Shahinne Sunny Day as a present from him... Oh! TORCHIC BREAST!

-Frightful squawks happily as she starts to gulp down pieces of of her favorite meat. Harriet can feel free to snap her out of this reverie.-

Picnic HQ

-Silent notices Spathi going for the meat, and decides to let him be; Ichtacya doesn't look very pleased. Meanwhile, with Salamence trying some worms, Silent calls for Neuron and Rouge to join in for the treats-

"There should be enough for everymon unless some other Flying monotyper chimes in, I think..."

Sol: <...I think I'd like some cookies.>

Shahinne -enjoys being petted: <I'm very special.> -- notices Mercury, opens eyes wide -- <Mercuryyyyy! What have you been doing? I have been missing all my classes!> ^.^

Picnic HQ

-Silent greets Neuron and Rouge, and points the latter to where Sol is opening a jar of cookies-

-Spathi notices Ichtacya staring at feeding process, and the Leafeon heavily shakes head at the Salamence's question-

Ichtacya♀: <N-not really...> -- stares elsewhere -- <I just prefer absorbing sunlight to eating meat...>

Sol: <Oooh, thanks, Salamence~> -- picks the berry up -- <Want a cookie? They have chocolate chips!>

-Silent calls up to Shahinne-

"Shahinne are you ready? You are supposed to start your tea party."

-Shahinne, however, is somewhat busy with Mercury-

Shahinne -tilts head: <You don't? Awww...> -- blinks -- <Why do you call me boss? We're both Murkrow~>

-Which causes Harriet to flush (not that it's too noticeable with plumage, but probably Fortis would notice it easily). She prefers to turn to Frightful for a moment-

Harriet: <All that sounds interesting... festivals, they are like the exhibitions we saw, right?>

Copahue: <...Silent had a battle? Shahinne was there?>

Harriet: <...We don't like it much when Shahinne goes to fight.>

-They get to the part where Frightful speaks about teaching the techniques-

Harriet: <...Oh? Sunny Day? Starly can learn that?>

Copahue: <Well Silent said we should be teaching her...> -- notices Frightful getting distracted with the Torchic breast -- <...T-t-that's another bird, you know?> ._. < I mean, it's good that Silent has any meat here. But there's also fish over there, those I got.>

-Silent, seeing Shahinne distracted, turns to Neuron-

"You are a pretty Natu. Hopefully you don't grow up to become a creepy Xatu... like others I have met."

Picnic HQ

-Silent pats Neuron-

"You're not, you're not. Yet. Here, have some bread?"

-and offers some pieces of bread-

Shahinne -to Fortis: <This birdie is so funny~>

-Meanwhile Salamence speaks about Chocolate. This makes Sol's head tilt-

Sol: <Oh? Well, neither is she, but what are we gonna do~?>

-and points to Ichtacya, who is 1.- a dog Pokémon and 2.- swallowing a chocolate chips cookie whole-

-Silent meanwhile produces the tea set-

"Shahinne, tea party time."

Shahinne: <Eeeeee~> -- flutters around for a moment.

-Then while Silent might or not ask for Frightful to boil some water, Shahinne starts picking up the tea cups and giving one to each guest, starting with Aeropolis-

Shahinne: <Here, have one. You are a pretty bird like I am!>

-Copahue looks more than a bit disheartened after looking at Fightful with the Torchic piece on her beak-

Copahue: <Hopefully she's not very gleeful at this. I've heard the complaints about Maekrite...>

-Harriet looks impressed with the talk about movelists-

Harriet: <Oooh... n-no I didn't know. I wonder if there's anything Copahue and I could teach her sometime.> -- nods -- <We would be glad to you for teaching her Sunny Day, of course!>

Copahue: <Roc already said we should be teaching her things...> >.<

-Silent thanks Frightful for insta-heating the water, and gives the bird another piece of meat. He then calls to everyone.-

"Okay. We are here reunited because of Shahinne-"

Shahinne: <That's me!> -- bats wings.

"-who was hatched a day like this a couple of years ago. You were there, Salamence." -- to the others -- "Thank you for being with Shahinne in her birthday."

-Shahinne is done serving Aeropolis and now moves to Spathi-

Shahinne: <Here, have some tea. Drink it while it's hot!> ^.^

Picnic HQ

-Fortis helps dispense tea for all of her birds-

Fortis: Happy birthday, little birdie!

Aeropolis: <Ooh, thanks.> -takes a sip-

Frightful: <I always found that a good way of getting children to listen to you is to make what you're telling interesting to them.>

-Frightful looks up and notices a few, non-stormy, clouds over the habitat.-

<Let's try this...>

-Frightful's eyes look like they're full of flames as an orb of light appear over her head. With a loud screech, the orb shoots skyward taking the shape of a bird of prey-mon as it ascends. As the light construct seems to merge with the shining sun (or moon) the clouds overhead disperse as the sun (or moon) shines brightly.-

Frightful: -making a satisfied noise- <Can't have a cloudy day on such an important occasion, can we?>

Picnic HQ

-the assorted birds notice the sun shining down-

Grayson: <Holy heat wave! When did that sun get so bright?>

Mercury: <That lady over there did it, boss.> -points a wing at Frightful-

-meanwhile, Aeropolis hears Harriet make a particular remark-

Aeropolis: <What? But Endeavor is a totally awesome move!>
