End of Summer Cook Out
It was finally the end of summer cookout at Belleâs castle. Beast still hadnât shown face since Dale showed his. Dale did a lot of soothing over the woman considering he felt a little responsible for her losing her job and destroying her reputation. She lost half of her friends over it. She was trying to salvage what she could. However, Dale had always been up front as he told his father. He never hid his intentions of them being for fun. Thereâs always that gal who says sheâs in it to have a good time and then gets swept away and expects more. That was Belle.Â
Is Belle.Â
This was the day Belle gets the shock of her life as Dale shows up with a Plus 1 from camp named Justine - He said heâd help plan it and make sure the grills got manned and the weed was stocked (Thank you Wulf.) Dale will claim he never said heâd be Belleâs date. There will be a public argument front and center for anyone who showed up early. Belle would be yelling, âBut, your name is on the damn invitations, Dale!âÂ
Where he would again say, âYeah, because I helped plan it and invited my friends to your yard, for your food, and my weed. Our cookout. Plus 1.âÂ
Flotsam would get to witness this because theyâd want to get there early to find the best out of the way place to set themselves up and still get to people watch and hopefully see Tree. Theyâd find a nice shady spot under a willow tree not far from the house in case they had to get inside for the bathroom or air conditioner.Â

Chip & Brigitte
River & Elsa
Scout & Dedra
Summer & Fig
The DadsÂ
Delta & Frank & Tree

Agnes & Bastien

Wulf & a Sherwood actress of random until I name her :P
Little John and some other merry men
Eeyore & Soren
Robin & Marian
Arthur & Lance come as buds

Zero & Victor
Madame Medusa & Capân Hook (Willem will have no idea)
Taryn & Declan
Iain & ?
A few of the Beagle family Dale knows
Triton and Sally
This was still Beast Castle so if you werenât on the list you werenât getting in. Belle had one Magisterium keeper to help with the door and play bouncer just in case. When Dale sees itâs Xigbar heâs going to be very happy he came with someone and pissed her off because that crossed a line for him.Â
The drama starts there. Dale would come over to Flotsam and Thomas under the willow waiting for things to get started when Xig showed up.Â
âCan you believe this shit? Fucking Fuckbar.âÂ
Daleâs grudge was a thousand miles wide over his mother telling him to go to Xigbar for answers back when the school was closed down.Â
âWhen I suggested some of her pals from school to see whoâs true I didnât fucking mean Fuckbar.âÂ
Flotsam sat back with their IV and first bottle of suds and grinned over at Thomas. This was why they had to come. All the drama, it wasnât going to be theirs for once, and they could just sit back and enjoy the show. Flo couldnât even be mad anymore. They had Thomas. The Cinderella grudge felt long gone even if it was alive and well for Dale right now. Flo was almost home free in New Zealand. They didnât have to get wrapped up in any of this shit. Now this was the life.Â
âI donât know what to tell you, babe.â Flo would say to Dale. âEnjoy your party and cut the cunt off? Or donât?âÂ
Flotsam was still half giggling over seeing Belle upset over Justine from camp. But, when Flo waved to say their hellos to her they found it highly interesting all they kept asking about was, âWhen is River getting here?â Later in the conversation sheâd say, âHave you seen River yet?â Three times in a 5 minute conversation she would ask if any of them knew when River could get there.Â
While Dale was bitching about Xigbar and Belle and even eventually went off to help Wulf and his girl over by the grill his won plus 1 only seemed to be there to see someone else. People should be knocking at the door any time now.Â
As she toddled off to ask someone else if they knew when River was going to be there Flo leaned into Thomas, âYou caught that right? This whole BBQ is going to combust and none of them know it yet and weâve got front row seats.âÂ
Flotsam was already high as a kite despite Jesulaâs warnings not to push it when theyâre finally getting better. But, Flo was Flo and it was a party. They busted out laughing about that girlâs eyes being all over that damn yard, but at Dale. Belleâs eyes were unable to focus on anything but Dale while trying to make him jealous of Xigbar while it was clear Dale was refusing to even bat an eye in either of their directions.Â
Wulf was already manning the grill and showing off for a girl the Laveauâs didnât know, probably from Sherwood, helping out. He was one of the early birds since he stocked Dale in green.Â
Zero and Victor would roll in and so would Little John and some of the other merry men. The back courtyard was about to start filling in, so Dale flipped up some music as Zero talked Victor into an awkward looking game of tether ball. Zero would keep doing all this all night, luring Victor into yard games like croquet and badminton because it was funny to watch him try, and Victor would do anything to make Zero happy. The merry men would be discussing spits and open fire pits for roasting having fun with teasing the modern grills.Â
