Time has passed...
Rook says, "The sun is fading steadily from view—and Port Fest nears its conclusion."
"Which means it's just about time for us to give these people a show! Only 15 minutes to go!" Jack says.
Ruggie then says, "Man, I've got the jitters. I just keep imagining how bad it'll be if we screw this up."
'Seriously, waitin' around is AGONY! I just wanna do this thing!" Floyd says.
Rook chuckles, "Heh heh. Shall we make our way to the Golden Straw, then? And Trickster, please record every second of our show!"
"Catch you after, Briar. You too, guys," Jack says.
"See you at the concern," Briar says.
"Bye," The others reply.
Then the boys take their leave to get ready for the show.
Sometime later, at the Wharf, Briar and the others show Crowley their results.
"Ah, our esteemed keepers of the record! Come right this way, we've special seats for you," Crowley says.
Grim happily cheers, "Whoa ho ho, front row, baby!"
"The merchants of the shopping district were kind enough to arrange them," Crowley says.
Soon, Cater calls out, "Briar! Grim! Sereia! Jasper! Tanzanite! Trinket! We're all here to see the show too!"
Briar and the others turn to see Cater and the others arrive to see the show.
"We wouldn't miss it for the world! Not long to wait now!" Lilia says.
"This'd better be worth draggin' myself all the way here," Leona says.
Vil notices, "Quite a large audience they have. But the grand finale at Port Fest would certainly command a lot of attention."
"They shall be performing atop that ship's stage," Malleus says.
"Yep. They're even listed in the program— 'grand finale concert.'" Trey says.
Lilia is surprised, "Goodness, who knew that Jack and the rest of those lads had any musical talent!"
"How cool is that?! The Pop Music Club should get together and jam with them sometime!" Kalim says with a smile.
"Ooh, yeah! Or even a little battle of the bands!" Cater says, excited.
But Epel says, "I'm a bit concerned that Jack and Ruggie said they only learned how to play instruments like... in the last few days."
"Rook was also quite plain in stating he doesn't— or didn't—play," Azul says.
The three of them were awfully confident, considering that," Jamil says.
And Vil says, "Well, with Rook in the mix, it won't be a boring show, whether they can play or not. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do."
"They have Floyd. They'll be fine," Jade says.
"Oh, assuredly. When the mood strikes him, Floyd is a regular musical virtuoso," Azul says.
"Yes. When the mood strikes him," Jade says.
And Ace says, "...Not sure I can take the suspense much longer."
Then Ortho says, "It's time for the concert to start!"
"Finally. I'm gonna just sit back and see how this unfolds," Leona says.
"Look, they're coming out on stage!" Kalim says.
