[The island sure is a bit chilly these days, isn't it? Well, today really isn't any different - except for one fairly large spot not far from the CMA, which seems to have been miraculously blessed with sunny, warm weather.
That would be because there's an Arcanine - Tucker's - using Sunny Day just a few steps from a
large wooden gazebo-like

Apparently, the Island must have been in on the whole occasion somehow, as it provided Mesprit with a longer dress than usual for today... a much fancier and strapless dress to be exact. Even her long ponytailed hair is down, looking a bit wavy against the straight fabric - she seems to be getting used to trying something new lately.
After a little bit of traveling [though she levitated off the ground a bit, so as not to get her dress dirty so soon], the sprite and her cottonbird arrive at the scene, and a gasp of amazement and awe escapes her. She's quite easy to spot, as her forehead gem has finally regenerated and the expression on her lightly-blushing face is one of surprise and joy.]
...oh! How beautiful!
[As if to signal to his Daddy, Alto flaps his wings and chirps quite happily.]

It's nowhere as beautiful as you, my princess. That dress... it's as if the Gods themselves had woven it for you. And here you come, my love, an angelic vision clad in eternal splendor... And who am I to resist you, when every thread of that delicate silk ensnares my heart, leaving it no escape?
[He extends a hand to her, the gesture gentlemanly and yet somewhat hesitant, as if Mesprit was an illusion and he were afraid she would fade as soon as he touched her.]
Come, my princess. Let me show you around.

Ah, thank you so much, Tucker! You know, you look rather handsome yourself!
[Without a word and allowing her emotional expressions to do the talking for her, Mesprit accepts his hand with a trusting yet excited smile... and maybe a little giggle too. She doesn't want Tucker to worry - for now, she's not going anywhere.]

Thank you, my love.
[Delicately, he ushers her inside the pavilion. He lets her admire the tables with the refreshments first, stopping in front of a tray brimming with pink-colored Poffins, some plain, some with sprinkles in different colors.]
I bought most of these, but the Poffins and Pokéblocks - Lala made them with her own hands. I hope they will be to your liking, my princess.
[At that, Lala, in her human form and wearing a red dress, waves from a chair in a corner. She seemingly has no intention to bother the two lovebirds. Which is good.
Tucker gestures around the pavilion.]
How do you like it, my princess? I built all of this with the help of my Pokémon, and you were in my mind every step of the way.

And gosh, those Poffins do look delicious... and they're Sweet too! Mesprit can't stop herself from taking a plain Poffin to try and share with Alto of course... and the two of them soon send satisfied gestures towards Lala in return, as well as moving a little closer to give Tucker a hug.]
It's all so wonderful! There's no need to be nervous... Everything's so pretty, and I really think it couldn't be any more perfect!
[It probably could, but she sure doesn't notice if anything's out of place. Besides... one of these days, the sprite has to do something in return for him too. That's just the way she is, of course.]

It warms my heart, to see you so energetic... I'm so happy, my love. To see you shine again, your health wholly recovered... There really are no words.
I can promise this to you... I will never fail you again, my love. May today seal all of our promises to each other, including this one.

I can tell... I love it when you're happy.
[Those eyes go up to look back at his, making a promise of her own to him.]
And I'll be sure to always be there for you, no matter what. I don't want to make you worry anymore...

Let's rejoice for today, my love. We've overcome so many hardships to get here. We deserve this, my queen. We deserve it all, and so much more.

Okay! I'm feeling so much better and I'm ready to have some fun!
[In agreement, Alto chirps close by, still fluttering about around them. Little cottonbird needs some fun too.]
Fun~! Alto have fun~!

Do you like music, Mesprit?
Reply
Oh, I do! Very much, actually!
[Of course, her sort of music is mostly chirpings by Alto and other sorts of natural sounds, but Mesprit is curious to see what he has in mind.]

[Tucker tinkers with this odd, but surprisingly intuitive music system, and a playlist appears on a display - apparently this thing can play thousands of different songs. D: ]
Reply
Of course, you'll have to help her out with this sort of thing, Tucker. Mesprit has no idea what all this technology is about, but that playlist does look intriguing though... despite not knowing anything about current music.]
Wow... There's so many... Should we pick something at random or one that you know?

On a whim, she closes her eyes, letting fate to choose things for them... and then her finger points to a song at random, allowing her eyes to open again.]
Here, how about this one? [Oh yes, this song is her choice, despite not knowing what it is. Oh dear...] It's called... "Waltz of the Flowers"... Hmm, that sounds pretty!
