When we arrive at the aquarium, I quickly manage to buy us tickets.
The place is so huge they can fit a sperm whale in one of the aquariums like it was just a goldfish. The place is separated by different kinds of sea creatures.
(Damn this place is huge...)
(It's a good this place is near to the park it's not too late to save this date after all.)
"Ah! Hey, Mina!"
"They have polar bears! She said surprisingly while scrolling at the directory.
Let's go!" she said enthusiastically.
Grabing my hands she lead me towards the Antarctic Area
Then.
"Awwee, look at those penguins so cute."
"Hey! Mina! Over here!"
Like a kid excited on a fieldtrip, she pulls my arm.
(She looks like she's having so much fun!)
"I've never seen a baby penguin before!"
It's like she turns back into a child with her innocent delight that's totally honest.
"Hehehehe...."
(She's so cute.)
I gaze unknowingly at her.
"I've been here a long time ago it feels like it hasn't changed at all since the last time I came here."
(She's been here before? It's probably when she's still a kid, with her...Oh...)
Then she sees something and suddenly runs in the opposite direction.
"There's a dolphin show! Let's go Mina!"
She holds my hand casually, as she drags me to the dolphin show that's happening in the next area.
We arrive just in time to see a dolphin making a huge splash, splashing the near crowd.
"Wow!" she awed in delight.
While we sit in the front row of the show.
"Dolphins are so good at jumping, and they're smart too."
"Yeah."
"Maybe they're smarter than you, Mina."
"Yeah, hey,"
"Ahahaha, just joking!"
Then to close the show, one of the aquarium staff takes the microphone.
"Lastly, it's time for the dolphins to shake hands!"
"Can the people in the following seats come up to the stage?"
"You'll get to shake hands with the star of our show."
"Ah, shaking hands with the dolphins!"
"We're in number 23 seats." I said while looking at the seat number behind me.
"Okay here goes, the lucky number is..."
"Number 23!"
"Oh! Hey, it's us."
"Congratulations! You two, please come to the stage."
When I turn towards her, Tegemi looks a little embarrassed."
"Let's go, Mina."
"R-right."
We head down to the dolphin show stage.
"I need you to stand here and stick out your right arm."
"O...Ok."( I sure hope they wouldn't splash us with water...)
"Hehe, this'll be fun!" she said happily.
As instructed, we stand with our right hands extended.
Then...
*Splash*
"Kyah!"
"Whoa!"
The dolphins stand on the surface of the water, holding out their fin.
"Whoa! Amazing."
Splish splashing around the dolphin standing up moving from left to right showing off its water striding skills.
"It'd be good if they stop moving so we ca shakes their hands or fins."
"Yeah, ehehehe."
When we've finished the handshake, the dolphins dive down to the water.
As she watches then, Tegemi smiles happily.
(She's really cute smiling carefree it's different than her usual glee,)
"Thank you very much, you may return..."
As the instructor nods at us...
The dolphin suddenly jumps few feet out of the water then making a huge splash.
"Kyah!"
"Huh?!" turning my back at Tegemi.
"The water is a bit cold." She got caught by the huge splash the dolphin made.
"That was a surprise."
"Ah! Tegemi!"
The instructor apologize to Tegemi and scolded the playful dolphin which in turn just nodge , made a dolphin sound and dive down to the water again.
"Let's head back Tegemi, before that dolphin decide to greet us again." I said while taking off my jacket and covering her with it.
"I'm a bit soaked, eheheh." She playfully laugh
(More like your totally soaked.) She seems to have caught most of the water.
She's so wet I can see through to her underwear.
"Thanks for the jacket, Mina I feel a bit warm now."
(Yeah I feel kinda warm myself.)
When she sees my blushing face she realize what happened and cover herself my jacket.
"Mina, you pervert."
"W-what I didn't see anything." ( I saw everything.)
She looks really hot when she's wet.( Wait something wrong with that statement...)
"I'm sorry! I'll get you a towel right away!" said the staff apologetically.
"And I'll guide you to the staff room for a change of clothes." She added.
"Yes, please."
Then heading out Tegemi being guided by the female staff. The dolphin jumps again, and this time I'm saturated.
(Of course...)
"Thank buddy, I'm all wet now." I said sarcastically to the dolphin who just clapped at my demise.
We look at each other for a moment, dripping wet.
"Ha~ Ahahahahah."
All we can do is laugh.
We're led to the staffroom to dry off our wet clothes. We we're given bathrobes to cover our self-up while they volunteered to wash our clothes for us.
"That was fun," she said cheerfully.
(At least she's having fun.)
"Really?"
"Yes, who else can say they've shaken hands with a dolphin?"
"And got splashed in return." I said playfully.
Though I can't get the image of the soaking wet Tegemi out of my head.
(Nope, stop thinking about her snowy white skin clearly showing, her shirt transparent showing her black laced brazier, no darn it stop thinking about it!)
(I've got think of something else...like how her breast looks soft and it's shape, damn it!)
As I'm trying to think of another subject, Tegemi speaks out.
"I've seen the dolphin show before...this is the first time I shook hand with it and got splashed with water." She giggled.
Then her eyes gloss over with nostalgia.
"When I was young, when my parents are still alive, we came here often."
"I remember it being really fun when I came here as a child."
(No wonder she's having so much fun when we came here.)
This place is full of good memories for her.
"I've never had anyone else I could talk to like this before."
"Really?"
"Yes, I think you're the first person I've talked to like this, Mina."
"And..."
"And?"
"Hehe, I wonder why..."
Her face reddens, and she looks at me.
"I feel l like I can talk to you about anything."
My heart suddenly skips a beat.
"I mean..."
(Me? Why? Is it because she's really feels comfortable at me she never looks at me like a man, so I'm more like a brother to her now, if that's the case then...why do I over think these things...)
"I think..I..."
Just then...
"Excuse me, your clothes are dry."
The staff member returns with our washed clean and dried folded clothes.
And Tegemi returns to her normal expression.
"Thank you very much for washing our clothes."
"Please it's the least we could do." Said the blushing female staff.
"Sorry to have bothered you like this." I said while taking my clothes.
"A-ah no it's not a bother at all." She said fidgeting.
(Why is she acting like she's in a presence of some famous celebrity.) I thought of this as I notice her glancing over Tegemi.
"Uh, ma'am are you some kind of a celebrity I mean you're really gorgeous." Said the female staff.
Tegemi and I glances at each other, then she let off a gentle smile.
"N-no sorry, I'm not." She giggled.
"Uh, s-sorry it's just your skin is so smooth and excuse me I'm sorry for bothering you." She said as she exits the staff room.
"Well, that was weird," said Tegemi.
"I have to agree you're gorgeous and if you haven't notice most of the people we passed by turns their head just to look at you."
"Please, Mina." She said blushingly.
"Should we change our clothes?" she asked.
"Oh, right, you should change at the comfort room, it's much secure there." I suggested.
"I don't mind changing here though. She said.
"E-Eh?!"
"I'm just joking I'll go and change at the comfort room." She said smiling
(Jeez! That almost gave me a heart attack.)
A few moments later.
When we're heading home from the aquarium.
Tegemi and I is walking side by side.
(Our date is almost over...)
(I'd like to stay with her for a while...)
Then...
"Hey, Mina..." she said looking a bit embarrassed,
"Yes, what is it, Tegemi?"
"Do you mind, if we sit still for a bit?"
"S-Sure?"
