Summary: The Voltron Crew plans a little party
Rating: Probably not worse than PG-13
Log:

[Okay, cue the spy music. Stage one of the plan? Convince Lance they have a mission to go on. Try to keep the story straight. (Keeping the mission straight is not a guarantee.) Stage two, set up party ahead of the oncoming group, form sugary ambush. Except Hunk has to use whatever materials he can scrounge from supplies, around, or from available pokemon.]

[Final stage. Surprise! Keep food away from surprised Lance so he doesn't destroy the desert table through flailing- that is if the surprise is successful. Actually Hunk'll just put Dragon Roll the Gyarados out so he's hiding the whole thing. And will be between any Paladin-induced mishaps.]

[In short there's a party on the beach, with the decorations being mostly local flowers grown with the help of some pokemon teamwork, roasted and steamed veggies with herbs, sweet fruit-based dishes, mochi, and rice-milk ice cream.]

[Time to eat up and enjoy Lance's birthday!]

Ah, yes... the goo. There was a decent amount of it in the rations we managed to save from the Castle, if I remember correctly.

At least they were pretty reliable and nutritious rations. A little too much like liquified cardboard at the base but, who knows, maybe when I get back I can help design some good MREs. Hopefully just for exploring and not combat.

[If he can think of it all again if he gets back. A thoughtful look crosses his face.]

Do you think there's any chance that maybe we're all from different universes somehow? Different timelines? [Because... well, he wishes people could find each other again. Sure Lance and Pidge might, but that's practically under the worst circumstances considering Allura. It breaks his heart. He just wants his friends to be happy after they've gone through so much. All of them.]

It is true. They are. We don't have things like that here. Or even back in the other time for this world.

[She considered his next question for a bit.]

I suppose. It's not impossible. Though, if it were the case, then that would mean we don't all truly know each other, wouldn't it? And, well... I don't know. That's kind of lonely sounding. I'd prefer to think that we're all at least from the same reality, even if it might be a different point in time.

[But the more pressing question here...]

What's an em are ee?

I honestly don't know.

[He's not sure which he thinks is worse. Or alternately, better. Mostly that he got so used to seeing everyone stressed that he hates that this is some kind of forgettable vacation that'll be erased.]

[But rather than muse too hard on the philosophy of it, he explains.]

"Meal Ready to Eat." It's something you can take prepackaged without refrigeration and just warm it up on the go. Less like goo rations and more like, you know, an actual meal. With all the protein and vitamins you might need with different dishes. On Earth a lot of places have their own specialized versions of it. Hit or miss whether or not they're completely terrible.

Mm. I suppose we never really will. Either way, it's still nice to enjoy what time we do have here, right? [Getting transported back in time not withstanding, of course.]

Oh! That sounds so handy! Especially with how so many people travel for the gym challenges and stuff. If you want help, I'd love to give it a try.

[That warms his heart a bit. Not that he had a single doubt in them, but his friends try so hard to help. Even Romelle, who's been through so much, too!]

I had some ideas about opening up a main restaurant and then having good carts travel Johto and Kanto. But for that I'll definitely need help. Both with packages of fresh ingredients for people that want to cook along the way and preprepared foods.

I haven't even decided on a name yet. I'd considered 'Five Lions' but I really want something for everyone who's homesick.

[Romelle listened to all of that, considering what she could.]

I could definitely help with packaging. And with maybe a cart... Though, you'd have to teach me how to prepare things that way. [She learned about food carts. And they were fascinating.]

But, for a name, I suppose... hm. It would be nice to have something that everyone can identify with, but... Well, it's your business. It should more strongly identify with you. That way, people know who they're going to when they visit.
