 He loved being back here, there was no doubt about it. Why wouldn't he? It was an impossibly beautiful day, the atmosphere and environment around him positively beaming. The grass felt deliciously springy beneath his paws, and given how well it went last time Idget couldn't wait to meet someone new. He loved making friends, and he loved his kids. He rather missed them sometimes though-all of them, disappointingly but understandably, had chosen to live with their mother's pack. He only got to see them about once a month. Presumably, Sandy would have let him seen them more often if it hadn't been for her mate, Rolo. Trotting happily along the grass, Idget began to wonder about this new Volpe. Would she be as sweet as Sandy had been? What species would she be? He felt it was rather mean of him, but he hoped it wouldn't be a Royal. In his opinion, most Royals (excluding Femi of course) were stuck up 1/30 |

 Had he known exactly who his partner would be, perhaps Idget would have been glad to meet a Royal. Right now, Gisele was picking her way through the undergrowth, wrinkling her beak at the smells around her. It stunk of grass here! Had someone just cut it? Really, the smell of cut grass was not the most romantic smell available. Although she wasn't going to admit it, Gisele was rather glad she was here. She was eager to meet a male, someone who could sweep her off her feet and who would think her the most beautiful Volpe in the world. She had always loved romance stories, from traditional fairy tales to blockbuster rom coms. Secretly, she was hoping to meet her own Prince Charming today 2/30 |

After wandering around for several minutes, and embarrassing himself by talking to several females who weren't his partner, Idget gave up looking. Of course, he'd find her eventually. He just wanted a little rest. Sitting down on the comfortable grass, Idget began to watch a pretty butterfly. He remembered fondly the last butterfly he'd seen here. All the insects were so pretty! Would his new partner agree with him?
Suddenly a bout of nerves hit Idget. What was he supposed to talk about with her? With Sandy it had been easy-she was so shy and quiet, he could pretty much talk about whatever he wanted without fear of being laughed at. What if this new girl thought him weird?
Disturbed by this thought, Idget's happiness faded slightly. He sat, looking rather serious for once, trying to think of sensible topics to talk about. Unsurprisingly, he didn't think of many

She was getting rather bored, just waltzing around aimlessly. She had thought she had found the male a few minutes ago, and she had started chatting animatedly to a handsome Gryphon. After a few minutes of conversation though, he had explained he was here to meet someone else. Rather sulkily, she had flounced off, wishing him good luck with finding someone as gorgeous as herself.
Gisele had been about to give up her search and leave, when suddenly she tripped over something. Normally, the Gryphon had perfect grace and she prided herself upon that. Unfortunately, when she did trip she tripped hard. Desperately trying to stop herself, she flipped over very ungracefully, and landed in a feathered heap. Pulling herself back up, she whizzed round and glared furiously at the thing which had dared to mess up her plumage.
What do you think you're doing? She shrieked, not put off by the fact that the thing was a rounded, panda furball Are you just sitting around, waiting for people to fall over you?

Honestly, he wasn't exactly sure what had happened. One minute he was minding his business, the next something sharp had been jabbed into his back and something large had fell over his head. He seen a flash of feathers, and suddenly a Gryphon was towering over him, shrieking angrily.
He was rather bemused actually. His back was stinging, and he realized that she must have cut it with her talon when she walked into him. Always one to think of others though, he decided to focus on the female first.
Oh, sorry He couldn't help smiling, slightly amused by just how angry she seemed I was waiting for someone. Didn't think I was in the way He blinked up at this scary, but rather magnificent Volpe. She looked alone...could she be the one he was meeting?
Perhaps it was you I was waiting for! He added suddenly, pleased by his discovery, rather than thinking about what that would mean

Shock struck the Gryphon's face. First of all, at his lack of concern over the fact he had tripped her. Second of all at his suggestion! There was no way he could be right...was there? But he was a furball! He was definitely shorter than her, a seemingly meaningless fact which meant a lot to Gisele. Heroes in romances were never shorter than the heroine. After all, she had come here looking for her tall, dark stranger-not some short, monochromatic fuzzball!
That's impossible She flustered, put off by his suggestion No way. Now, if you don't mind I'm waiting for my real guy As if to illustrate her point, she sat down on the grass. After giving him a look which clearly meant 'go away', she began to try and fix her feathers. After all, she couldn't meet her one true love looking like a mess!

Wow, this female seemed to live in her own little world. So far, she had acted rude, vain, controlling...Still, Idget was far too polite to say anything. Or point out he had been waiting there first.
Alright, I'll go then He replied, still cheerful Good luck with your meeting Nodding farewell, he turned round and began to trot away. If this female wasn't who he was going to meet, then who was? Logically she must be-after all, he'd been here for around an hour now and he had seen no one else alone. But hey, if she didn't want him to stay he would just go

Of course, in turning around he had revealed his back to her. His back, which was now sporting a very large, blood red cut. Gisele gasped in horror, causing the male to turn round in confusion. She was about to ask him what happened, when she realized. Had she done that when she'd walked into him? It looked really painful!
Guiltily, she examined her talons as she spoke to him.
Is your back okay? She frowned, actually feeling rather concerned. She hadn't meant to hurt him! And it had been quite odd that he hadn't mentioned his injury, especially since she had been yelling at him...

His back? Oh, of course! The Panda had almost forgotten the sting-after all, he was easily distracted. Turning round, he blinked back at her. She looked quite concerned about it-he guessed she might have realized it was her fault. Idget was touched by her concern, and eagerly wanted to reassure her.
No, it's okay He explained quickly. It wasn't actually-now he had been reminded of it, the painful, stabbing sting was back It probably looks worse than it is He stood awkwardly for a minute or two. Should he still go? Surely she wasn't going to kick him out now?

There was no way that cut couldn't hurt. Another thing Gisele wouldn't admit was that she was a wuss when it came to pain. Even a small scratch had her complaining and moaning for hours. Still, it did seem like this Volpe was quite sweet...
Sighing, the Gryphon frowned. Unfortunately, this male had probably been right about him being her destined partner. She glanced at the K9 once more. He wasn't at all how she'd pictured him. Yet, he did seem quite nice so far. And she had cut him rather violently.
I'm sorry She apologized, a rare thing for her to do. For a few minutes, she battled with her conscience and her pride I suppose it wouldn't mattered if you waited with me for a bit. Of course, as soon as my partner shows up you'd have to go There. An answer which both cleared her conscience and satisfied her pride. She still felt slightly guilty, but it was better than nothing

Hmm, that almost sounded like an apology. If he had been the type to take offense or hold a grudge, he might have stormed out of there. As it was, he chose to stay. After all, it might be fun to talk to her for a while. Then again, he thought as he remembered her earlier anger, it might not.
Padding over, he sat down fairly close to her. He left a gap of about 3 feet, sensing that she wasn't the kind of person who would appreciate having her personal space invaded. Apparently, she wasn't the sort of person to start a conversation either. After waiting in silence for several minutes, Idget accepted that he would have to talk first if he wanted to get anywhere.
I'm Idget by the way He smiled again. Hopefully if he was friendly, she would start being friendly back

She was slightly pleased when he sat down next to her. At least she hadn't offended him too badly, and at least she wasn't going to be stuck on her own. The brief silence that followed might have been awkward, but the Gryphon barely noticed it, so focused on tidying her fur as she was.
His name surprised her, and she had to stop herself from snorting. Idiot? He was called Idiot? She glanced down at his face. Nope, he looked serious. And rather proud actually. She opened her beak, intent on setting him straight...then closed it again and shrugged. Let someone else disappoint him. She couldn't be bothered to tell him the truth.
My name is Gisele She announced it clearly so he could appreciate it properly. She adored her name-it was so pretty and suited her perfectly. Patiently she sat, waiting for the male to do what every other did and comment on it

Gisele...an interesting name. Not as unusual as his, but it was nice. He tilted his head, confused by the strange way she said it. Almost like she was announcing the start of a show. He sat silently again, then realized she was waiting for him to compliment her.
Eager to please, Idget obliged.
Erm...it's a very pretty name He struggled to make it sound natural. Then again, maybe she didn't care if the compliment sounded forced Where did you get it? Most probably from her mother, he realized. Oh well, too late to take it back. Maybe he should do what people often told him, and think things through before he spoke them

It didn't bother her in the slightest that he had needed reminding about complimenting her. Praise was still praise, no matter how she got it. Preening the final touches on her coat, she fluffed up her feathers and sat proudly. Perfect, now she was back to her usual gorgeous self.
She didn't notice the oddness of his question. The way Gisele's mind worked, she simply noted it as a question asking about her. And that was always a good thing.
My mother wanted me and my brother to have names that stood out, since we were so obviously destined to stand out ourselves She explained, flicking back her curls He's called Tobias and I'm Gisele. Aren't they great names?

Erm, sure They were quite cool actually. Mind you, Idget could find wrapping paper cool if he was in the right mood. What really interested him though was the mention of family. His ears pricked up excitedly. He loved talking about his own family, and he loved hearing about others' families.
You have a brother? That's cool! I'm an only child so it was kinda lonely as a pup Hopefully this would prompt her to give him more information, and maybe ask something in return. Judging by how self-involved she seemed, perhaps not
