~The Next Day~

The Hatchery:

Jackson: "I wonder if Mermie is male or female?"

Sal: "Speaking of males and females, there's a holiday in the United States called Valentine's Day when people show their love for each other."

Jackson: "You really love that place, don't you. When is it?"

*Sal gets an idea*

Sal: "Actually, it's tomorrow."

Jackson: "That's nice."

*A cracking noise comes from the incubators*

Sal: "Ruckshaw!"

Jackson: "So, you wanna name it Ruckshaw?"

Sal: "Well, I need to see 'em first."

*Jackson grabs the egg from the incubator and puts it in the tiny garden*

*The egg hatches*

Sal: "I guess he looks like a Ruckshaw."

Mermie: "Rawrksh!"

Sal: "Aww!"

Jackson: "Smart worm."

Sal: "Yeah."

*Sal leans her head on Jackson's shoulder*

*Jackson blushes and starts to put his arm around Sal, but puts it back*
