~The Next Day~
Sal's Workshop:
*Sal grabs a rose with a note on it*
Sal: "I'm going to do it."
*Sal walks out of the door and to the hatchery*
Sal: "I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it."
*Sal grabs the doorknob*
Sal: "I'm - not going to do it."
*Sal runs back to her workshop and sits down on a stool next to her desk*
Sal: "Why can't I do it?"
*Sal throws the rose onto the desk*
The Hatchery:
Jackson: "Here, Mermie. Get the fish!"
Mermie: "Mraw..."
Jackson: "What's wrong, buddy?"
Mermie: "Raw..."
Jackson: "I should ask Sal."
*Jackson gets up and goes to Sal's workshop*
*Jackson knocks on the door*
*Sal jumps in her seat then answers the door*
Sal: "H- hello."
Jackson: "You happen to know what's wrong with Mermie?"
Sal: "Oh. No."
Jackson: "Did you feed him anything I didn't know about?"
Sal: "Just some grass."
Jackson: "That's probably it. He isn't used to chewing blades of grass. The mothers usually feed the babies by regurgitation"
Sal: "Eww, yuck. Uh, ok."
Jackson: "You seem nervous. Are you okay?"
Sal: "Oh! Yeah.. I'm fine."
Jackson: "Okay, see you around."
Sal: "See ya."
*Sal closes the door and sighs*
Sal: "Yeah, I'm "fine." Being sick is nothing to worry about."
*Sal grabs the rose with the note on it*
Sal: "Just not the normal kind of sick."
