Let Make Vol.2 Of Our Romance Manga

I'm actually doing it right now

Can do!

Hey

I'm half way done but had to stop an hour ago and haven't had time to continue

I'll still try to get out done tonight but no matter what tomorrow morning

Introduction:

"The Mega Scrafty had me down to my last Pokémon, Totodile. I knew thing were looking bad, but I was determined to save it from the Rouge Mega Power. It charged at us with a Crunch, and the moment it did I saw the way to victory! I-" Taunie's phone dings, interrupting the story about her battling a Rouge Mega Scrafty she's telling Paxton. "Hold on," she sighs, checking the text. She groans as she reads it. "Lebanne says Jacinthe wants me to attend one of her fancy rich people parties," she whines.

Paxton chuckles. "I'm just glad it's you she wants this time and not me. I'm tired of them," he says.

Taunie's phone goes off again. She rolls her eyes. "I have to be there in fifteen minutes or, and I quote, 'there will be consequences,'" she tells me, pocketing her phone. "Guess I should get going."

The two of them get up and hug. "See you in a couple hours," Paxton says. Taunie throws her head back and groans again, much more dramatically this time.

As she walks out, Paxton's stomach grumbles. I could go for some Nouveau Cafe, he thinks to himself, grabbing his jacket and heading to the food truck.

Taunie's part:

Taunie walks into Jacinthe's expensive hotel, feeling a bit jealous of all the nice things this place has. She looks around, confused by the lack of people. I thought she said she was holding a party, Taunie thinks as she approaches the elevator. Where is everyone?

As Taunie is about to press the up button, the elevator pings as it opens, Jacinthe and Lebanne walking out. The two smile as they greet Taunie, Lebanne's looking painful.

"Hello, dear," Jacinthe exclaims. "I was getting worried and just about to send dome people to see where you were!"

Taunie scoffs, knowing she really means she was about to send people to bug and possibly attack her until she came. Taunie decides not to say anything about that, instead mentioning the emptiness. "Hey, um, you said there was a party, right? Why is nobody here?"

"Because I lied," Jacinthe answers simply. Taunie doesn't know whether she's surprised or angry. She decides both.

"What," she exclaims, not really asking but demanding.

Jacinthe just laughs. "Well, I didn't want to make you uncomfortable on your way here, so I gave you a different reason," she says, answering practically nothing.

Taunie's confusion is apparent, and Lebanne explains further. "She actually wants to talk about your romantic life and give you some advice. She feared if you knew that you'd be reluctant to come."

Taunie begins to blush. "M-My romantic life," she repeats with question. "H-How do you even know about that?"

Jacinthe shrugs. "I know a lot of things. Information finds me," she says, a bit ominously. "Now come. Take a seat! Let's talk."

Jacinthe and Lebanne go over to a nearby table. Jacinthe sits down in one of the two chairs and Lebanne stands behind her. Taunie, not really able to escape, sighs as she takes the seat.

"So, have you ever dated before," Jacinthe asks, immediately getting down to business.

Taunie shakes her head. "No," she replies.

Jacinthe nods, closing her eyes and holding her chin, looking thoughtful. "Yes, yes. I figured," she says. Taunie doesn't know if she should take offense to that. "That means you probably don't know the basic rules of a relationship."

"There's rules," Taunie asks. She's never heard that before.

"Oh, yes," Jacinthe confirms, clapping her hands together. "It's pretty much that the guy should do everything. He takes you out the car, holds the door open, pulls out your seat, orders for you. Almost everything. It's expected."

Taunie shakes her head. "That doesn't sound right. I mean, yeah some of that is chivalrous and all, but I don't think it's a rule. He shouldn't have to."

Jacinthe laughs. "That, darling, is why your not the dating expert. There's more. He should lead the conversations, pay for the night, and having something secret planned after," she continues.

Some of that sounds nice, sure, but being required seems extreme. But, if that's the rules Taunie guesses she can work with it.

At the same time with Paxton:

Paxton came here for one reason. To make an order. He wanted a Fire Blast Roast with a croissant. That's it. What did he receive? A lecture. A lecture on how to properly go on a date. If Paxton would have known this would happen after Taunie and his coffee date here, he would have chose a different restaurant.

"Tell me," Grisham says, sitting across from Paxton at one of the tables, "what do you plan to do for Taunie during this date?"

"Um," Paxton thinks. "The nice stuff. You know, helping her out the car, holding the door open, pulling out her seat-"

"Wrong answer, bud," Griselle cuts in. "That stuff is only in the movies. In the real world, that makes the girl think you don't believe she can jold her own. That you think she needs you to do it for her."

Paxton shakes his head. "That's not what that means! I just want to-"

"Well that's not how she'll take it," Grisham states. "Let her do things herself. Let her be independent."

"How do I do that," Paxton asks, now curious on the right way to go on a date.

"Let her exit the car, walk herself in, choose her own seat," Griselle lists, Grisham nodding along.

"And make sure to split the bill evenly," Grisham adds. "She doesn't need you to cover her meal."

"That last part seems fair," Paxton says, nodding his head. "But the rest of that doesn't. Won't it seem like I'm being rude."

Griselle shakes her head. "Nah. She'll appreciate it. Trust us."

"Okay," Paxton responds slowly.

Most of that feels wrong, but they are married. If anyone knows how dates work, it's them.

So I'm struggling with actually writing the date and I don't know why

It's a bit disappointing

I think the outline does a good job at describing the ending, though

I know that narratives and mangas are different, so you'll have to change some stuff to make it work, but I'm literally just here to give you inspiration, @Catcatmyoop

Here it is, though
