9. Chapter 9

Anne Boonchuy worked with numerous amphibian specimens over her time as an employee of the Aquarium of the Pacific. Given that every species she worked with had a much shorter expected lifespan than humans, whenever one of the animals at the amphibian exhibit had to be put down she expressed sadness, but at the same time, she knew she would see them again as a Guardian of all that was, is, and ever will be.

She first worked at the aquarium at age 22, shortly after graduating from California State University, Los Angeles, a year before she reunited with Marcy and Sasha for good. She would work for the aquarium for 53 years, retiring at age 75, when she felt she had enough money to live off of for the rest of her life between her AOTP job and her side gig as a member of the metal band Calamity with her best friends-turned wives. The band Calamity itself ceased being active after all three members turned 75, wishing to settle down as their lives winded down. Anne, Marcy, and Sasha lived off retirement benefits for the rest of their lives.

And now with all three as co-Guardians, Anne took it upon herself to look in on the animals she worked with at the Aquarium of the Pacific, who were all after-living in a paradise of sorts. She brought her co-Guardians with her.

"Girls, these are all the animals I worked with during my time at the Aquarium of the Pacific", Anne said. When the animals sensed Anne's presence, they all ran towards her, so to speak.

"These amphibians must really like you," Sasha said.

"They really couldn't wait to see you again it seems," Marcy said.

"I was very popular at the Aquarium of the Pacific. The day I retired from there was very emotional," Anne said.

"I remember that, me and Sasha were there. Practically no one could keep it together that day," Marcy said.

The former exhibited animal that showed the most affection towards Anne was the pink frog she named Sprig after the frog boy she knew in Amphibia.

With a happy reunion in the books, Anne, Marcy and Sasha looked towards the next time someone in the living realm needed their help. They also hoped to visit great-grandson Eric Hudson, quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, again, if he led the Rams to a victory in the Super Bowl. The girls witnessed several Super Bowl victories for the Rams in life. Because of their guidance during his first game, he had an awesome rookie season, although the Rams ended up losing in the Divisional Playoffs.
