Bringing Style to the Aquarium | Chapter 9 (Final)

Jay: Whew, all done, huh.

Faith: You were pretty great, Jay.

Jay: So were you, Faith! I got the impression that there were a lot of enthusiastic young people here today.

Faith: I guess. We were able to sell out of T-shirts thanks to everyone, but I wonder if they’ll end up being good PR for the aquarium?

Jay: No need to worry. Look, everyone who got a shirt has a big smile on their face. ♪

Director: Exactly. See here? Social media is buzzing about it, too.

Faith: “I had so much fun!” “The shirts are so cute!” “They recommended the petting zoo exhibit so I tried it out, and it was as therapeutic as they said it’d be.”

Jay: Looks like we conveyed everything we wanted to, huh.

Faith: Fufu, looks that way.

Jay: I’m glad that the design we worked on together went over so well.

Faith: Of course it did. We made something great, after all.

Director: Exactly! Your collaboration resulted in a spectacular design!

The silhouettes of people enjoying the aquarium while the penguins and fish happily swim around them was a great idea!

Jay: It was pretty hard to portray it. After all, it’s not like the fish are swimming around thinking about how to keep us humans entertained.

Faith: You were really hung up on that part of it, weren’t you?

You said you didn’t want to “misrepresent the appeal of the aquarium,” if I recall. I couldn’t help but smile at how much you love this place.

Jay: Hey now, didn’t you promise not to tell them that?

Faith: Did I?

Anyway, that’s it for today’s job. We had all that lead up only for today to be over in an instant.

Director: Thanks to you two, today’s event was a huge hit! Thank you so much!

Jay: Haha, don’t hesitate to reach out to us again, okay? We Heroes are here for everyone.

Faith: Good work today, Jay.

I said it only lasted an instant, but aren’t you a little tired from keeping up the fan service for that long?

Jay: Haha, I guess I made you worry, huh? I’m fine, though; no problems here.

Faith: Aha, of course you are. ♪

Jay: You did a great job yourself, Faith. You really helped me out a lot this time around.

I was only able to come up with a design that felt personal because you were here to help.

If you hadn’t been here, I probably would’ve had to bug the crap out of the others instead.

Faith: Really? If you ask me, you had plenty of drive to do it yourself.

Jay: No way, if you hadn’t been here, that shirt would’ve never seen the light of day.

Since I don’t want to lose what you taught me about fashion, I thought I’d try to expand on it moving forward.

Faith: How ambitious. Good luck. ♪

I’m pretty tired, so I think I’m gonna take a stroll around the aquarium and then head back. You taught me how to best enjoy myself here, after all.

Jay: Haha, did you end up as invested as me?

Faith: Not a chance. But I do think it was a good experience.

I especially like the petting exhibit. ♪ Maybe I’ll go soak in the healing vibes from the background music there.

Jay: You really do like that place, huh? What can I say other than it makes sense?

Oh, right, since you taught me about style, would you mind taking me along sometime to the club you DJ at?

Faith: Uhh...

I mean, I guess I could. But why not just come by yourself?

Jay: I suppose that’s an option. In that case, I’ll invite Brad and the others and make a night of it.

Faith: Please, anything but that.

Jay: What, are you embarrassed? I think it’s great, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed abou—

Faith: That’s not it. Just don’t, okay?

Jay: Okay, fine. Then I’ll try inviting Billy, Gray, and Asch instead.

Faith: ...I’m outta here. If I don’t hurry, this place is gonna close.

Jay: H-Hey, wait! I’m coming with!

We don’t get chances like this often, so let’s stick together until we leave! Don’t leave me behind, Faith!
