A few days later...
Briar, Grim, and the others watch the Steering Committee work on Jack's plan for the performance. Whatever the plan is, it has a lot of booming, swishing, tapping, and other sounds that make it like music. Soon, the group finished the performance. Everyone claps and cheers in response.
Grim cheers, "Whoooa, that was awesome!"
"That was amazing," Jasper says.
"We got through a whole song together!" Floyd says.
"We did...though with a lot of mistakes," Jack says.
"Yeah, we were like a buncha mudskippers floppin' in the sun," Floyd says.
Rook happily says, "Très bien! That was most satisfactory, given how terrible we've been!"
"This does give me hope that we'll pull it together in time for the concert," Ruggie says.
"Yeah, what a relief," Jack says.
"Still, your performance was incredible!" Briar says.
"It was amazing," Sereia says.
Rook chuckles with a smile, "Heh heh, thank you. We have Monsieur Fier-à-bras's excellent leadership to thank for it."
"Not at all, your advice the other day is what got me to this point. So thank YOU!" Jack says to Rook.
"Oh, mais non!" Rook says with a smile, "This is the result of your tireless devotion to ferreting out a solution!"
Jack soon realizes, "Oh, crud. It's getting pretty late. We've gotta go, Ruggie."
"Have you another appointment?" Rook asks.
"We gotta head over to Heartslabyul so Class B can decide what we're doing for our food stand," Ruggie says
"You're meetin' at Heartslabyul? Oh right, Seabream's your class's leader," Floyd says.
"Well then, best of luck to you Monsieur Dent-de- Lion! And you as well, Monsieur Fier-à-bras!" Rook says.
"Well the others and I will keep a great record of you guys decidin' what to serve," Grim says.
"I don't mind if you're doing your job, just keep it down during the meeting," Jack says.
"Don't you worry!" Grim says.
Ruggie rolls his eyes, "I dunno if 'keep it down' is in his range."
Sometime later...
Those who are part of the group arrive at the Heartslabyul Dorm lounge for the meeting.
"Sorry for the hold up, everyone," Jack says.
Seeing the outfit, Cater says, "Whoa, check those outfits! You two are lookin' snazzy! Are those the Steering Committee uniforms?"
"Yeah, the headmage called it 'Port Wear.'" Ruggie says.
Seeing the clothes, Epel says, "Hey, that's so cool! They definitely scream 'Port Fest,' that's for sure."
"Thanks," Jack replies.
"We gotta snap a photo after this!" Cater says, "But first, it's meeting time!"
He then calls out to the students, "Everyone here?"
"I just finished taking roll, and yes! All present and accounted for," Epel says.
Even Idia, who sighs in response.
"Even Idia! It's a Port Fest miracle!" Grim shouts in surprise.
But Idia says with his tablet, "I was gonna ditch out, but Cater literally dragged me here—VERY MUCH AGAINST MY WILL, I MIGHT ADD!Where's your heart, you unrepentant extrovert?!"
