It's a beautiful day, the sun shining on a calm sea, the birds singing, and only a light breeze. A golden lombax with maroon stripes watched the slow waves with a small smile on his furry face, waiting for someone to show. He knows how she loves the sea, and the sharks especially, so he wasn't surprised when a voice behind him said, "Hey, Ratchet!"
"Hey, Tal!" Ratchet turned. "You ready to go?"
The Markazian only scoffs. "Of course!" Talwyn smirked. "How 'bout you? Are you ready?"
"Well it was my idea," he replies.
"A good idea at that," she says, practically bouncing with excitement.
Ratchet smiles fully. "Come on, it's almost time to go," he nods his head for her to follow, which Talwyn is glad to do so.

••••••On the boat••••••

Talwyn is ecstatic but tries to keep it down while any type of professional person is watching. She's fine with Ratchet seeing her excitement, they've been dating for a few years now, but with other people who weren't quite as close as her lombax boyfriend and his friend, Clank, she really doesn't want what happened a few months ago to replay in her life.
The Markazian tosses the memories to the back of her mind and smiles at the salty breeze. Ratchet joins her, leaning his elbows on the ship's railing, and nudges Talwyn.
"You ready for the sharks?," He asked.
"You kidding?," she responds. "I've been waiting for this the moment I heard your message!"
Ratchet laughed. "Well hurry up, Tal, they're getting the bait ready!," he says playfully, and Talwyn chases after him as he ran off to gear up.

"Ratchet, you look ridiculous!," Talwyn giggles at the shoeless lombax wearing a scuba tank on his back, a black vest to hold it there, navy blue suit, and the black scuba mask/helmet with navy blue straps held under his arm. She wore a matching outfit, only she has a silver vest and helmet with red straps and suit.
"Better safe than sorry," he counters.
"Especially with sharks," adds another female there.
"Elaris is correct," robotic voice this time. "You can never tell what these sharks will do. Are you sure you want to do this, Talwyn, Ratchet?"
The lombax looks to the Markazian, who only says, "There's no way in hell I'm missing this kind of an opportunity!"
Ratchet smirks. "That'll be a yes, Clank."
"Sounds more like a 'hell yeah!' to me," Elaris comments and they all laugh.
