| | |  Aquarium Date: Edvard Roslund and Shelby Westerfield
There are plenty of fish in the.... aquarium! Your tickets are bought, so once your date arrives you can go exploring! The aquarium is multi-level, so start at the top and work your way down.
First up: Penguins! Watch the flightless birds "fly" through the water in this "cool" exhibit. But best not linger too long lest your date start wondering if it's you or the penguins that smell so pungent (it's the penguins! ...we hope..)
Down the stairs, you begin your underwater journey! Freshwater fish like perch, dace, trout and pike can be found here. Continue on and keep a close eye because you'll also run across frogs, turtles, eel, and otters. If you're lucky, it'll be otter feeding time and maybe you'll get to feed them a fresh dead fish? Here's hoping!
The last section of the aquarium, and largest, houses the marine animals. Dun Nuh Dun Nuh Dun Nuh! JAWS! Sharks! Dolphins and manatees, too, with no end to fish. Visit the coral reef section and see if the clown fish make you laugh, or maybe you'll find a pearl in an oyster?
Or perhaps... you'll find the pearl at your side. Happy dating!

Today was the Blind Date day. It was bound to be fun and interesting or so Edvard told himself as he made himself ready for a day out at an aquarium. It was best to go in with a positive and optimistic attitude. Merlin knew how many dates hadn’t gone awry in his life because of attitude issues. If you went in with the idea something was going to be horrible it might just end up that way and it had happened that way on more than one occasion. Edvard didn’t have any expectations at all going into the date except to have some fun with a stranger.
Shelby Westerfield.
The name gave him no inkling on how the woman would look or anything at all about her. A blank slate was nice for once with no way of putting pre-judgement on his date. Arriving at the arranged meeting spot with a small bouquet of sunflowers in his arms, Edvard sat down on a bench outside the aquarium entrance to wait for his date.
Hopefully his date was just as excited and eager to check out the sea life in the aquarium as he was. If she was scared of creatures then this might turn into a very interesting date.

Shelby was really excited. It was her first date in four years and she couldn't help but smile. She did not know who this Edvard Roslund was, but his name was cool enough that he had to be a nice guy.
She dressed in jeans and a flowy green shirt with a sweater on top. Her boots made a clacking noise as she walked towards the meeting place. She didn't necessarily know what the man looked like, but she guessed he was the guy sitting on the bench with flowers.
Tucking a piece of blonde hair behind her ear, she walked to the man. "Excuse me, but, are you Edvard Roslund?" she asked.

Edvard sat on the bench with the boquet of sunflowers in his arms soaking in the sun's warmth when a blond woman approached him clad in jeans and a sweater. Probably a suitable get up for an aquarium. Quickly getting to his feet he flashed her a big smile. "Yes I am. And you must be Shelby Westerfield?"
Holding out the small boquet to his date he said "These are for you. I hope you'll like them." It would be pretty bad if she turned out to be allergic to flowers. Remaining optimistic and still smiling he gestured towards the building behind. "Have you been to an aquarium before, Shelby?"

Thank God she didn't look like a total idiot for asking the wrong person. "I am." she said. "It's really nice to meet you."
Taking the bouquet of sunflowers, one of her favorites, her smile grew. "They are beautiful. Sunflowers are one of my favorites." she said. "Thank you. They are perfect." she finished. How sweet! He brought her flowers, it had been so long since she had gotten flowers. "I have been to one. I take my best friends siblings every once in awhile." she answered. "Have you been to one?"

He brought her flowers, it had been so long since she had gotten flowers. "I have been to one. I take my best friends siblings every once in awhile." she answered. "Have you been to one?" "It’s a pleasure to meet you too." Edvard replied. It would have been weird to give flowers to a woman whom he wasn’t there to meet. Thankfully that hadn’t happened. A little weight lifted from Edvard’s shoulders when it turned out that sunflowers were in fact Shelby’s favourite. "You’re welcome. I was actually a little afraid you wouldn’t like them." He confessed one gold star to Juliet Raphael at the dating service for encouraging him to buy some flowers.
"I have actually never been to an aquarium before. Are they much different from a zoo?" Edvard asked as he turned to face the aquarium. "Should we go in and look at the creatures?"

"We're you really?" she asked. Sun flowers some how always made her smile. Her father said that wherever there were sunflowers, there was happiness. He always seemed to be right, whenever she saw sunflower she had a really great day.
"Not really," she shook her head. "There's not much difference except for the animals." she said. "I do believe that sounds like a good idea." she smiled.

"Yes is was, flowers for dates are tricky at least in my opinion." Edvard murmured. It was nice that Shelby genuinely liked the flowers and wasn’t allergic to them which was always a worry. Pulling out his aquarium ticket from his coat pocket he gestured towards the entrance "Ladies first."
Starting to move up the steps to the aquarium and into the entrance hall he looked around curiously eager to see some animals. "An aquarium shows sea creatures, yes?" Aqua meant water Edvard remembered vividly.

Smiling as he let her go ahead of him. She gently grabbed his arm, just slightly pulling Edvard along.
Shelby giggled. "Yes, it does. As well as otters and penguins. It's all aquatic animals." she answered. She let go of his hand and looked at a directory. "Penguins are first!" she announced. Which meant that the otters couldn't be too far behind!

Which meant that the otters couldn't be too far behind! "Too true or if she is allergic," Edvard added as an afterthought. "Chocolate must be a better alternative since everyone likes chocolate." Blinking he found himself being pulled along by the arm by Shelby. Was his date a bossy woman?
Without further ado they stood inside the aquarium in front of a directory. The first exhibit was penguins. Following Shelby’s lead he asked unsurely "What do penguins eat?" coming into the penguin exhibit a strong pungent smell was thrust at him. Wrinkling his nose Edvard commented. "I didn’t know penguins were so smelly.."

I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like chocolate. Have you?" she asked.
"Fish." she answered before scrunching her nose at the smell. "Neither did I." she siad. "Do you want to move on?" she asked.

"No I don’t think I have but there are probably some people who dislikes chocolate just like there is people who dislike liquorice." Edvard shrugged. As they stood and gazed at the penguins he asked "So Shelby what do you do for a living, something adventurous?" She didn’t seem like the type but appearance could be deceiving.
Scrunching his nose as the smell of dead fish thickened in his nose Edvard nodded "Yes, let’s press on. The smell of dead fish isn’t exactly sweet. I didn’t know dead fish could smell so awful."

Shelby laughed. "I do agree." she said. "Though, I will always be a devoted chocolate fan." she raised her hand in a pledge to chocolate. "I like adventure, but I own a music store. I also privately teach any string instrument and I am a guest violinist for symphonies." she answered. "What about you?" she asked.
Once again, Shelby laughed. "C'mon, let's see what's in the next room." she said. She looked around the corner to see what was next..... Otters! "Otters are next." she said with a huge smile on her face. Otters were her favorite.
