Let Make Vol.2 Of Our Romance Manga

Alright, so I don't know who Tawin is, but I liked the idea of using the Grims as dating advice

I think I can incorporate Jacinth and LaBanne (I forgot how to spell the other one) in the same way

Paxton will talk to the Grims and Taunie goes to Jacinthe and the people give them completely different advice

So then, on their second date, they're trying to do what the people told them and it contradicts, creating a humorous awkwardness

They explain why they're acting this way and decide that they want to figure out their relationship together instead of how other people tell them

This isn't my outline, just my idea

If you like that, I'll start actually writing

You're fine

I will work on it when I can!

This is a very rough draft, so may seem choppy

I'm doing this in my school breaks

I'll dive deeper into it when I gain more time

I just want to get out a decent outline

Introduction:

Paxton and Taunie are chilling in the lobby of Hotel Z. Taunie is telling Paxton about a time that she had to fight a Rouge Mega Scrafty back before the MZ Team became a thing and her Pokémon were low leveled. Right as she's getting to the climax of the battle, she gets a text. She checks her phone and groans. It's from Lebanne, requesting that Taunie attends a fancy party at Jacinthe's request. She tells Paxton and they hug and she runs out, wanting to get this done and over with. Paxton decides that he'll go get a cup of coffee from Nouveau Cafe.

Following Taunie:

She arrives at Jacinthe's hotel and finds it empty. Pretty strange considering Lebanne told her to come for a party. As Taunie approaches the elevator, it opens and Jacinthe and Lebanne exit, approaching her with smiles (Lebanne's very forced). Jacinthe explains that she had heard that Taunie and Paxton were together, and she did not actually have any party and actually wanted to give Taunie dating advice. The three of them take a seat at table and some waiters bring snacks and drinks. Once everyone has settled in, Jacinthe begins to explain the "rules of a date." She says that the guy should do practically everything. Open the doors, pull out the seats, choose the meals, pay for the night, have a hidden surprise planned after. It is what's expected. She says he should choose the topics of conversation and events of the day. "That's just how it is," she says. Taunie doesn't agree with this, but she's never been in a relationship, so she takes her word. Lebanne starts to contridict, but of coarse gets shut down.

Meanwhile at Nouveau Cafe:

All Paxton does is order a Fire Blast Roast. That's it. What he got? Advice. Grisham and Griselle had seen Taunie and Paxton on their date and said it was obvious Paxton was new to this. Being in a successful marriage (and we're sure they're married? Kinda thought they were siblings…) and have been on many dates, they decided that they should help Paxton. They ask Paxton "What do you plan on doing during y'all's next date?" He says he's going to help her out the car, hold her hand into the building, pull out her seat, and they cut him off there. They say that's cliche and only done in movies. In real life, people think that's rude by assuming the female is incapable of taking care of herself. She can open her own door, walk in on her own, grab her own seat. He should let her do her own thing. And when it comes to paying, they split the bill 50/50. Paxton agrees with the last part, thinking it's fair, but the rest of it he thinks will make him seem rude. None the less, he hasn't done this before and takes their word.

Second date:

They go to a nice restaurant. As they get out the car, Paxton gets out and just stands there awkwardly waiting for Taunie, who's waiting for him to help her out since that is "expected." She eventually gets out on her own. As they walk into the restaurant, Paxton opens the door but doesn't wait for Taunie to enter, letting go of it and causing her to get hit. Paxton asks if she's okay, she says yes, laughing it off, but there's an awkward tension in the air. As the waitress shows them to their table, Taunie stands there waiting for Paxton to pull out her, which never happens. As Paxton takes a seat, he looks up at Taunie and asks why she hasn't sat down yet. Taunie says she doesn't know and humorlessly chuckles as she sits down. Once it's time to order, Paxton says what he wants and then watches Taunie, waiting for her to say. She sits quietly, waiting for him to order for her.

"Why aren't you ordering," Paxton asks.

Taunie's eyes widen with surprise. "I've been waiting for you to," she responds.

"I already did," he says, confused.

"No, for me," she clarifies.

"Why would I do that?"

"I don't know! It's expected."

"Who said that?"

"Jacinthe."

That's when Taunie explains what Jacinthe told her and Paxton says he was going to do that until he talked to Grisham and Griselle. Taunie said she wouldn't have wanted that and only wanted it because that was what she was told to expect. They laugh about it and decide that if they want to make this work, they need to figure out for themselves what they want and expect from one another. And then it ends with them enjoying their dinner.

Again, this is very rough outline, so not the best quality

I'm considering actually writing it as a story because I don't think this one will work well in outline form

Any input or advise is welcome!
