~The Next Day~

Sal's Workshop:

*Sal puts the finishing touches on the cooling system and grabs a bag of ice out of her cooler*

*Sal grabs the cooling system and ice then walks to the hatchery*

"Knock knock!"

*Jackson opens the door, looking exhausted*

Sal: "Oh, what's up with you?"

Jackson: "I was up all night gardening. Why didn't you kno- Oh, you have the cooling system! Thanks, Sal!"

Sal: "You're welcome."

*Sal blushes slightly*

*Sal sees the tiny garden*

Jackson: "I also put some gardener crickets in there to help the plants and for lizard food."

Sal: "Nice."

Jackson: "You can put the cooling system there."

*Jackson points to a spot on the floor next to the door and generator*

Sal: "Okie."

*Sal places the cooling system on the floor and places the ice next to it*

*A cracking noise comes from the incubators*

*Jackson looks at the incubators, wide-eyed*

Jackson: "It's hatching."

Sal: "Yay! This is so exciting!"

Jackson: "It's the ice worm! Put the ice in that plastic lid over there next to the desk and I'll get the worm."

Sal: "Got it!"

*Sal puts the ice in the plastic lid and Jackson helps the ice worm out of the egg*

Jackson: "Here."

*Jackson puts the ice worm in the ice*

Jackson: "You can put the cooling system in the back of the room. Here, point it at the lid."

*Jackson puts the plastic lid in the back of the room and Sal puts the cooling system down, pointing at the lid*

Sal:" Aw, it's so cute!"

Jackson: "Yeah, it is."

*Sal leans her head on Jackson's shoulder*

*Jackson blushes slightly*

Ice Worm: "Raww rawr.."

Sal:" Aww, we should name him!"

Jackson: "Okay, what should we name him?"

Sal: "Mermie!"

Ice Worm: "Wrawr!"

Jackson: "Okay, Mermie it is."
