Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon
It was a beautiful sunny day at the Laramie Ranch. Dario and Lara had awoke to start another day. They showered, dressed and had breakfast. They then went about their daily chores. Lara mounted Rapidash and rode off.
"It's so beautiful." noted Rapidash.
"Yes it is." agreed Lara.
Rapidash let out a sigh.
"I am sorry for doubting Dario." sighed Rapidash.
"It's old news now." replied Lara.
"I feel so terrible about it." said Rapidash.
"Rapidash, it's fine."said Lara.
"No it's not!" declared Rapidash.
Lara was taken aback by this.
"Rapidash..." began Lara.
"I was un-trusting." said Rapidash guilty.
"It's fine." said Lara.
Rapidash shook its head.
"I feel like I should make it up to you." said Rapidash.
"That's not nessicary." said Lara.
"It's the least I could do." replied Rapidash.
"Give me a sec." shrugged Lara.
Lara thought for a minute.
"I got nothin'." said Lara.
Rapidash snorted its nostrils.
"Maybe you should talk to Dario." suggested Lara.
"He might have something I could do." realized Rapidash.
Lara dismounted Rapidash.
"Thanks." said Rapidash.
Rapidash turned and trotted off. Rapidash went around the ranch looking for Dario. After a bit, Rapidash found Dario working. Rapidash shook its head and walked over to Rapidash. Dario stopped seeing Rapidash approaching. Dario paused his working and stood waiting. Rapidash reached Dario.
"Hello Rapidash." said Dario.
"Hello." replied Rapidash.
"So, what brings ya out here?" asked Dario.
"I wanted to talk to you." answered Rapidash.
"That's fine." shrugged Dario.
Rapidash took a moment to sigh.
"I feel guilty about doubting you." said Rapidash.
"It's fine." said Dario.
"Lara said the same thing." noted Rapidash.
"But, you're not satisfied." realized Dario.
Rapidash nodded in confirmation.
"I want to do something to make it right." said Rapidash.
"There's no need." said Dario.
"Please! I need too!" begged Rapidash.
Dario was taken aback by this.
"I won't feel better until I do." added Rapidash.
Dario took a moment to shake the surprised off.
"Okay..." began Dario, trailing off.
"Is there anything I can do?" asked Rapidash.
"Let me think." answered Dario.
Dario thought for a second.
"Off course!" declared Dario.
"There's something." said Rapidash hopeful.
Dario now nodded confirming.
"Today is the one month anniversary of our relationship." stated Dario.
Rapidash perked up a bit.
"How can I help?" asked Rapidash.
"I need you to distract Lara." answered Dario.
Rapidash froze for a second as the worse scenarios rushed to its mind.
"No. I can't go back there." thought Rapidash.
Rapidash shook its head.
"What for?" asked Rapidash.
"I need to get some things together." answered Dario.
"I assume you're planning something." mused Lara.
Dario nodded his head affirimingly.
"Well, I've been planning a romantic dinner tonight."said Dario.
"Awe." cooed Rapidash.
"I'm making pan-seared garlic chicken breast." said Dario.
"That sounds good." replied Rapidash.
"It'll be in the barn by candelight too." added Dario.
"That is so sweet." said Rapidash.
"Do you think Lara will like it?" asked Dario.
"She'll love it." answered Rapidash.
"I'm only missing one thing." noted Dario.
"What is that?" asked Rapidash.
"Wine." answered Dario.
"That is a good way to cap of a romantic dinner." mused Rapidash.
"I need to run into Fuschia and get it." began Dario.
"So you need me to keep Lara from finding out." realized Rapidash.
"Yes." confirmed Dario.
"No problem." said Rapidash.
"Thanks." replied Dario.
With that, their plan began. Dario slipped off to his car and hoped in. Dario now had to wait for the cue for Rapidash. Rapidash trotted back to Lara thinking of a plan. Rapidash arrived and gulped. Lara trotted over herself to Rapidash. Rapidash quickly thought for something.
"Hey, how did it go?" asked Lara.
"It was fine." answered Rapidash.
Rapidash was clearly very uncomfortable with lying to Lara.
"Shot. I hat having to do this." thought Rapidash.
"Uh oh." said Rapidash.
"What is it?" asked Lara concerned.
"I have a sneeze coming on." answered Rapidash.
Rapidash pretended to sneeze shooting up flames.
"Wow!" exclaimed Lara.
Lara had to jump back.
"That must have been a big sneeze." said Lara.
Dario saw the flames from his seat.
"There we go." said Dario.
Dario turned the key in the ignition and began driving.
"Yeah. That was powerful." agreed Rapidash.
Lara suddenly noticed the car.
"Is that Dario?" asked Lara.
"Is it?" asked Rapidash, trying to stay calm.
"Yeah. It is." answered Lara.
"Oh. Imagine that." replied Rapidash.
"Where is he going without telling me?" asked Lara.
Rapidash had to think of something.
"To Fuschia to buy some things." answered Rapidash quickly.
Lara stopped and looked her her Pokemon.
"That makes sense." agreed Lara.
Luckily, Lara accepted this and moved on. Dario didn't take long returning after a short time. Lara was in the restroom so Rapidash was able to talk to Rapidash. Dario set up in the barn while Rapidash continued keeping Lara distracted. After a while, everything was set and Dario slipped over to Rapidash. He waved to Rapidash while Lara wasn't looking then returned. Rapidash then nugged Lara with its nuzzle.
"Hey Lara, let's go to the barn." suggested Rapidash.
"Why? asked Lara confused.
"I have a feeling you'll want to." answered Rapidash.
Lara wanted to see what was going on and followed Rapidash to the barn.
"Now what's all the hull-" began Lara.
Lara trailed off seeing what had been set up.
"My God." gasped Lara, taking it in.
A small table with two chairs had been set up. Two dishes with silverware and food sat on it as well as a shipping bag.
"Do you like it?" asked Dario.
"Yes." answered Lara.
"Happy one month anniversary." whispered Dario.
"Dario!" exclaimed Lara.
Lara kissed Dario.
"I love you." said Lara.
"I love you too." replied Dario.
The two walked over and Dario pulled out a chair.
"Milady." said Dario.
Lara giggled and sat down.
"It's awful dark in here." mused Dario.
Dario pulled out a candle.
"Allow me." said Rapidash.
Dario used Rapidash's flame to light the candle.
"Thanks." said Dario.
Dario put the candle on the table.
"Now, for our refreshments." said Dario.
Dario pulled a bottle of Yellow Tail wine out of the bag.
"Isn't that actual wine?" asked Lara surprised.
"We're both drinking age." answered Dario.
Lara shrugged accepting this.
"It's Merlot." noted Dario.
"That sounds fine." said Dario.
Dario poured them both glasses of wine.
"To us." toasted Dario.
"To us." agreed Lara.
Rapidiash left while the two drank their wine and had their meal.
"This is delicious." stated Lara.
"That means a lot coming from you." replied Dario.
"You're an amazing cook!" declared Lara.
"Maybe I should become a chef." joked Dario.
"You could." stated Lara.
Dario chuckled at this.
"Lara, it's so great to have someone supporting me." said Dario.
"You've haven't had anyone support you?" asked Lara amazed.
"Nope." answered Dario sadly.
Lara held his hands.
"I fully support you." stated Lara.
The two shared a kiss.
"I love you so much." said Dario.
"I love you to." replied Lara.
They shared another kiss.
"I will never abandon you." vowed Lara.
The two finished their meal in peace making small conversation. Lara finished her wine and Dario had offered to refill for it. However, Lara would politely decline and Dario was fine with this. The two of them brought their things inside and placed them in the sink so they could be washed in the morning. Dario then walked Lara to her room.
"Well, here we are." noted Lara.
Lara kissed Dario.
"Thanks for everything." said Lara.
Dario let out a chuckle.
"It was nothing." replied Dario.
"Yes it is. It was so sweet of you." said Lara.
"I only did what a good boyfriend would do." shrugged Lara.
"You're so great." said Lara.
"Only because you're so great." said Dario.
The two shared another kiss.
"I don't want to leave." said Dario.
"Neither do I, but I need to go to bed." said Lara.
The two shared a kiss.
"Goodnight. I love you." said Dario.
"Goodnight. I love you." said Lara.
With that, Dario left and went to his room.
"He's so great." thought Lara warmly.
