bakerstreet | the ( sweet? ) picnic date meme

Ahh, what a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the flying animals of your choice are making their noises, and the sky is, presumably, as blue as can be. Finally, a break from this awful weather! And you know what else? It's a perfect day for a picnic with your honey (or hopefully soon to be honey). There's nothing quite as romantic as a well-executed picnic, so if you want to make an impression or just have a good time, break out the food under the shade of a tree. The best part is that a picnic can be as unique as you two are: a beautiful spread on top of a blanket, burgers grabbed from the drive-through and eaten with your legs dangling from the backseat, or a heart meal of venison one of you hunted while you sit on the bodies of your enemies. All that's required is to enjoy the food and the peaceful time together.

Of course, just because the idea is romantic doesn't mean it has to play out exactly that way. Maybe this is your first date and both of you are worried about what will come next - or one of you doesn't realize this is a date. Maybe one of you was dragged here against your will. Hey, have you heard about that swarm of Africanized killer bees? I hope they don't ruin your day. Isn't that your romantic rival? They're challenging you to a duel? And who are those kids in that green van, screaming about ghosts...?

Ahh, what a wonderful day for a picnic.

Feel be to be as serious, as fluffy, or as goofy as you'd like.

(Aaron would either be the surprised one or the one dragged there. He rarely makes plans unless it's somehow very important for him to get it done for another person.
An idea could be ants or rain.)

( we can assume he's here to meet someone from an online message board or some such thing or is here at the displeasure of another group of people he knows because he didn't get invited to their party. or something else entirely! whatever works. )

( Serah's probably doing the surprising/dragging, but she could easily be the surprised one instead. )

( Most likely going to be the one being dragged around/surprised. )

[Tohko would definitely be the one who planned the picnic and the sort of person who would drag any grumpy gus's to it. Along with a simple lunch spread of sandwiches, apples, and the like, there would also be a few books to read if one wanted to.]

( just specify if you want Eugene or Flynn, canon-point wise. )

[ River broke herself out of Stormcage once again to go on a lovely little date. ]
