"The sweat dripping in my eyes makes it difficult to see anything five feet in front of me."
"Like a runt of a tree planted in the sidewalk that I swerve to avoid."
"The air is hot and humid, and I can feel my body grow heavier as I get closer."
"I cant determine if its from the sweat soaking my clothes or the welling trepidation inside me."
"Its been five years since Ive seen anyone here."
"Ive kept in touch with all of them."
"But to see them again in person?"
"Its the sounds that reach me first. The chatter of people milling about."
unknown "Bro"
unknown "Its been too long!"
unknown "It was only five years *Giggle*"
"I can make out the building now. I use the sleeve of my shirt to wipe the sweat from my eyes and brow."
"I look at the name written on the arch over the entrance."

F "That isnt what I meant."
A "Come on, Ill make sure they dont bite."
"Fang reluctantly grabs my dry arm and I lead her to a spot not occupied by ankle biters."
"I put my hand back in and motion for Fang to do the same."
"She hesitates with her hand raised just above the waters surface, then plunges her hand down next to mine."
"It doesnt take long for a few rays to make the corner and brush up against our hands."
F "Eep!"
A "You alright?"
F "Yeah, no, its just… You were right about them being slimy."
A "Well, I have yet to hear of a dry fish."
F "Shut up."
"After a few more rounds of rays, Fang decides shes had enough."

F "So uh…"
F "Which exhibit are we checking next?"
"I check the aquarium pamphlet to see where we havent been yet."
A "Well… if we go outside we can see the dolphin pools. That way it loops back through the deep sea exhibits."
"With Fang in agreement I lead her towards the exit marked with a large dolphin sign."

"Upon exiting the building my nose is assaulted by a mix of salty air and the smell of raw fish."
"Somehow its even fishier than inside the aquarium."

F "Ooh, smells like lunch."
A "It says they should be feeding the dolphins pretty soon."
"The walkway circles around a large pool with several dolphins swimming around, and I can make out the trainer holding a hoop with a bucket of fish by their feet."
"One of the dolphins jumps straight through the hoop and is rewarded with a fish caught out of the air."
F "Would you jump through a hoola hoop for me if I had treats?"
A "..."
"I notice the trainer has traded the hoop for a large brush and is getting one of the dolphins to open its mouth."
"The trainer starts brushing the Dolphins teeth and showing off the rows of neatly spaced cones."
"I make a show of craning my neck down to get a view of Fangs teeth from below."
"She raises an eyebrow for a second and then realizes."
"An elbow jams into my shoulder and her other hand covers her snout."
A "So thats how you brush your teeth!"

F "...I dont need someone to bribe me at least."
A "Well if you ever need help Im sure I can get them to lend me one of those brushes."

"And that gets me a jab to the ribs this time."
A "Oh come on, you have to admit they look a bit like you..."
F "Ehh, I dont see it."
"The dolphin beside her nods in agreement."

A "So, how bout we hit the last spot and then go grab our own lunch?"
A "Unless you want to have some tuna with your clone there."
"Fang rolls her eyes at that."
"Her dolphin duplicate did too."
A "Youre fucking with me, arent you."
F "Whatre you talking about?"
"Fangs aquatic doppelganger makes a laugh-like chirping and finally swims away."
"..."
A "So Deep Sea then!"

"We leave the dolphin pen, following signs back towards the building."
"The floor slopes slowly until we reach a door labelled as the sub-level to our destination."
"Pushing through, we find ourselves in an oversized hamster tube beneath the water."
"Oh, I didnt realize they had one of these."

"Fangs eyes are wide as she tries to follow the different schools of fish that dart to and fro about."
"Im more mesmerized by the water filtered light cascading off Fang, casting her in a gentle glow that illuminates her white feathers."
"God. So glad Im recording this."
F "Recording what?"

A "The uh… The shark! Yeah, that cool looking shark over there!"
"I point to the shark thats currently lazing about, casually drifting by the walkway."

"Fang turns to gush at the shark, giving me the opportunity to quickly stop my phone and see that my battery is near dead and storage near full."
A "Ah, theres the last exhibit."

"I hold open another set of doors, the room within near pitch black."
F "Is it closed?"
A "Hm?"
F "The lights…"
A "Oh! Nah, the room is dark because the things inside arent used to light."
F "O-oh."
A "Wait… are you sca-"
F "No! I just… Wasnt expecting it, is all."
"I offer her my hand."

F "Yeah… that…"
"I wasnt referring to the exhibit."
"Fangs grip on my hand eases, and her fingers work to intertwine with mine."
"With what little light there is I can make out Fangs smile."
"My eyes have adjusted enough that I can see Fangs eyes locked onto mine, the gossamer light making them glow."
"My lips press softly onto Fangs beak-end in a chaste peck."
F "eep!"
F "Oi! G-give me a warning next time!"
A "Mmmm… Naaaah."
"I laugh even as her hip bumps me roughly."
"Our interlocked fingers prevent her from using her preferred elbow tactic."

F "Ill say yes if you delete that recording."
A "Awwww, but you were so cute!"
