Franky and Robin sat and watched the Sunset for a while until it finally went down and the night sky was shown.
Franky then got up.
"Well, that was SUPER and all, but our dates just getting started, y'know?" He smiles, offering his hand to help her up.
"Fufufu~ I know." She says, taking his hand.
He helped her up and walked her to the deck.
"Wait here for a sec..." He says, going to grab something. He came back a few moments later.
"Alright! Now close your eyes!"
She giggled a bit, doing so.
In his hand, there was an invention he made. It was a cube that had a button on it. He set it down on the grass, pressing the button. Immedietly, it popped open and laid on the grass was a picnic blanket and candles surrounding it. He then lit up the candles with his finger, he then got out the picnic basket he had Sanji make. Though, to be honest, Sanji never would have made it if he knew what it would be used for. He sat it down and the setup was complete.
"Okay, you can open them now..."
Opening her eyes, they widened as she gasped, seeing the pretty setup before her. All of it, the blanket, candles, basket, was amazing. He smiled at all the effort Franky put into this.
"It looks amazing Franky, thank you." She says.
"Ow! No problem! What're we waiting for?!?! Let's dig in, shall we?" He says, smiling widely and sitting down on the picnic blanket, crossing his legs. She sat across from him. He hands her the basket. She opens it, surprised.
"Oh my...Sandwiches. Clearly this was Sanji's doing." She smiled, giggling. She looked at Franky. "Thank you very much, Franky." She says, taking out a sandwhich and eating it. Franky reached into the basket with his miniature hand. He took out a thermos, opening it and pouring steaming hot coffee into the lid. He then handed it to Robin. She smiled, taking it. "Thank you" She says, blowing and sipping the drink. Franky took out a burger and cola. Robin smiled.
"Sanji sure did put a lot of effort into this basket" She stated. Franky took a drink of his Cola, looking at Robin. He grinned.
"Yeah...I feel bad for misleading him. I should reinforce the fridge and modify the kitchen as Thanks. And, uh, as an apology..." He rubbed the back of his neck. Robin smiled at him.
"Fufufu~ I'm sure he'll love that." She states.
"I hope so..."
Franky thought of Sanji as a great friend and hope he wouldn't lose Sanji for something as stupid as a girl. He shook his head, trying to forget about this. They were crewmates! Of course they'd still be friends. No one on the crew hates anyone, not even Zoro and Sanji. They were all a family.
Before he could think of anything more, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Music playing in the distance.
"Huh?"
Franky and Robin both turned to look at Brook as he played a slow, soothing, romantic melody. The tall skeleton jumped down onto the grass, playing his Violin.
"Yohohoho. Don't mind me, my friends. Just wanted to add to the romantic atmosphere. Please, continue with your date." He says.
Franky smiled, giving Brook a thumbs up.
Franky and Robin got closer to each other, Robin eventually resting her head on his bulky shoulder.
They were like this for a while. Eventually, Robin sat up and turned to Franky.
"So tell me. What made you so sure I'd say yes? You clearly planned all this in advance." She says, looking around.
Franky sighed, looking down at the grass. He rubbed his buzzcut head, looking up at the Night Sky full of stars.
"Truth is...I wasn't. But something told me to just go for it. Usopp played a SUPER big part in that." He says. "So I did all this...but truth was, I was afraid you would say no. That's why I was so occupied in my workshop for the past few days. I was trying to find out ways to make sure you said yes...but I realise that wasn't the right way to go. Usopp made me realise that I just had to be myself and hope for the best, not create inventions to knock your socks off. Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking. You've never been impressed by my inventions." She says, laughing.
Robin felt a bit sad and disappointed with herself at this.
"So it was my fault you didn't come out of your workshop for days?" She says.
Immedietly, Franky reassured her.
"No! No! That isn't what I meant at all!!! I was just being stupid, that's all! SUPER Stupid! Promise!" He says.
She cracked a small smile, but still felt a bit guilty.
"Fufufu~ I do like some of your inventions, you know. Like the ones you made for my garden." She says.
He blushed.
"R-Really?" He says.
"Of course!" She smiled.
"Wow...Thanks..." He says, blushing and rubbing the back of his neck.
The two spent a long time talking and hanging out, eating and drinking the food from the basket. Eventually they packed up for the night. Robin got up, heading to the girl's quarters. Before she entered, however, she turned to face Franky who was cleaning up the picnic.
"Fufufu~ I had fun. Let's do this again sometime..." She says.
"S-Sure..." Franky replied, stopping what he was doing to look at her in her full beauty. He blushed.
"See you~" She says, walking into the room and shutting the door.
Franky sighed, resting his head on his hand.
"I'm in love~" He says.
He then packs everything up, cleaning up the Picnic. He rolled up the blanket, put out the flames on the candles and picked them up, and put them all in the basket. He then picked up the basket, walking to the boy's quarters. Before he entered, he glimpsed at the girl's quarters for a minute, then entered.
Brook, watching them the whole time, played the violin slowly and smoothly, playing a nice melody.
"Ah...to see true love in action. It fills my heart with Joy. Though, I don't have a heart. Yohohoho." He says, sitting on the mast as he plays his melody into the night.
