Fin To Fin

How's this? asks Great White Teacher, showing less of his teeth.

Can you kind of smile with your mouth shut? asks Sweezus.

Thought I was, says Great White Teacher.

We need to rethink this, says Sweezus. What's our main message?

Sharks are friendly, says Great White Teacher.

Like, to who? asks Sweezus.

Each other, people who mind their own business, not fish, says Great White Teacher.

Cool, says Sweezus. What we need is you swimming next to someone minding their own business.

That might not look good, says Arthur, looking up from his phone.

Yeah you might be right, agrees Sweezus. What about.... two friendly sharks swim together?

Fin to fin, says Great White Teacher. I like it. Would it fit on the back of a bus?

Sure, says Sweezus. We can play around with the sizing.

Great White Teacher swims off to find an off-sider.

What did Gaius want? asks Sweezus.

Cheap tickets for the Overland, says Arthur. I'm just checking the prices.

That's a first for you, saysSweezus. You usually seat hop.

He's going with Pierre-Louis, says Arthur. Not me. Gaius won't mind paying something.

How much is it? asks Sweezus. 

One hundred and sixty five, one way, says Arthur. Cheaper if you book six months in advance.

He'll want to go right away, says Sweezus.

But it gives me something to work on, says Arthur. Right. Done!

He books two tickets six months in advance, using Gaius's credit card details, which he knows.

Now what? says Sweezus.

Wait for the tickets to show up on my phone, says Arthur. 

Can't see how that's going to ....Hey! Great White Teacher's back.

Great White Teacher has returned, with Speedy, his side-kick.

Let's do this! says Great White Teacher.

Okay, look friendly, says Sweezus. Not like that! Try it side on.

Great White Teacher and Speedy face one another.

They have not been in this conjunction before.

Their mouths open, to remark on it.

Two tiny fish dart out. Yay!

Click. 

Awesome , says Sweezus. That's the money shot.

Excellent! says Great White Teacher. When will we see the results?

End of the week, says Sweezus. By then we'll be able to show you a photo of the actual bus.

The sharks swim off, after the tiny fish that escaped in the interests of public relations.
