It was New Year's Eve under the sea, and Shellington and Deborah were together in the lab, counting down the last few minutes of the year.
"What do you resolve to do in the New Year?" Deborah asked.
"I'm hoping to handle my anxieties better," said Shellington. "This was a really bad year for me, mentally."
"I want to read more books, discover more new creatures, and maybe sew my own clothes," crooned Deborah. She was excited to go into a new year.
The last few seconds were going by fast. Shellington had to hold Deborah down, she was bouncing so much.
"Five…four…three…two…one!"
The clock struck midnight. The New Year had begun, and Shellington and Deborah celebrated their first big event of the New Year; their first real, actual, on-the-lips kiss.
It was soft.
It was special.
Deborah loved it.
"Jumpin' jellyfish..." Shellington said, amazed. He had loved it, too.
