“Mom… please. It’s been nearly ten minutes.”

“My poor baby boy! He’ll never get married!”

“Mom, I’m gonna be fine.”

“All because that Isabelle broke his heart!”

“Mom, I promise, there are plenty of fish in the sea! Hell, double as much as you might think…”

“How could she do this to my very own son!? Does she not have her own mother? Imagine the pain and suffering she’s just inflicted!”

“Mom! Calm down!”

“Congratulations to my dearest Adrien!”

“O-Oh, uh… thanks? I think? We’re only just practicing for the upcoming season…”

“You know, your sisters and I were a bit worried this might never happen!”

“Mom, what are you even talking about? I’ve won every competition for almost three years now!”

“You and Isabelle are going to give me grandchildren!”

“Um…?”

“Though, examining your choice in decor makes me wonder why I worried myself silly, anyway.”

“Mom! You don’t get it! Isabelle, she… she rejected me.”

“I can hardly wai– wait a minute. What?”

“H-Hey, um… Isabelle?”

“Yes?”

“Do you, maybe, wanna go to homecoming? You know, uh, with me?”

“Adrien, you’re super nice, but…”

“But…?”

“I’m not, really, y’know… into your type?”

“What do you mean?”

“I prefer down to earth boys, like Connor. Boys who don’t go to San Myshuno prep. To put it less formally, poor boys.”

“O-Oh… That’s… I understand.”

“See, Connor? This is what you could do after several years of practice.”

“Eep!”

“But for now, why not just swim around?”

“Y-Yeah, I can do that!”

“The water is really pretty during early season. That’s ‘cause it’s before the kids’ classes start so no one’s thrown up in the pool yet.”

“Eugh…”

“Yeah. Enjoy this while you can.”

“I… think I can do that.”

“Hey, you’re new here, yeah?”

“U-Uh-huh! I’m Connor!”

“A pleasure to meet you, Connor. I hope I can be a good captain for you.”

“I hope I can be a good captain for you, too!”

“Um…”

“Fiddlesticks! I meant, uh, be a good captainee to you? Be captained by you?”

“Cousin Aiden! I didn’t know you were on this team!”

“Yep! My dad’s been signing me and Zach up for every sports team in San Myshuno since we were kids!”

“I could never do that many sports. That sounds too difficult.”

“It’s not hard at all, really.”

“Well, of course you can say that! You’re one of the best athletes I’ve ever seen!”

“Oh, I’ve got nothing on our captain, though! He’s the best!”

“We have a captain?”

“His name’s Adrien Zest-Cash. Specially trained in San Myshuno Prep’s world famous athletics program. He’s competed everywhere! Last year he made it to International in Monte Vista!”

“He… sure is something.”

“Oh, man, you’re gonna love him!”
