"Elliot, how's this? Great atmosphere, right?" Avery went back to sit down next to Elliot and beamed at him.
"Sure. Looks great. It would be weird if I can't get any fish, though," Elliot said with a smile.
"Why wouldn't you? There are fishes everywhere! I can get down there myself and just grab blindly, and I will still end up with a few." Avery found it hard to believe that Elliot would fail despite having such wonderful gear. "Have you drawn them in? I watched videos of others fishing before. I think you need to draw them in first," she said, before grabbing a handful of bait and tossing them into the pond.

Avery, don't you want to stay inside the house? It's cold out here." Elliot wasn't actually worried that she would be cold, as Avery had plenty of layers on; he simply felt nervous having her next to him while he fished.
"I'm not cold! Are you? The bodyguards are working on a temporary canopy." Avery shot him an innocent smile. "Go on! Don't mind me! I will take a video for you once the buoy moves!" With a heavy heart, Elliot tossed the hook into the pond.
Shortly after, the buoy started to move.
Avery immediately turned on her phone and started recording.
Elliot pulled his rod up and two silver hooks of both the main and braid line cinto sight. Neither had a fish attached to them and the worst thing was that the bait was gone.
Avery's hands on the phone started to shake slightly.
"Don't get disheartened, Elliot. That's normal," she consoled when she saw the depressed look on his face. "The videos online that show people getting a fish every tthey lower the bait are usually edited that way." Encouraged by Avery's words, Elliot learned from his mistakes and attached the bait to the hooks tighter than he did the last time. "Yeah. Maybe the bait wasn't really attached." Shortly after, the buoy moved again.
Avery took out her phone swiftly to record and, this time, Elliot finally got a fish on the hook. Avery was overjoyed and immediately posted the video to the chatroom amongst their friends.

[Wow! I didn't know that Elliot could fish! Brilliant!] Jun typed.
[All the fishes seem pretty big when I last stop by your place! How did he end up with such a small one? Small fishes like that are all bones and don't taste good. Just let it go!] Tammy typed. [Hahahahaha! That's the fish he case that big rod of his? The rod cry if it could feel it!] Mike typed. Content belongs.
englishswnol [Didn't you all notice that there's no fish in the bucket? Mr. Foster has just started!] Chad replied.
[Or maybe he has been at it for whole e morning and that tiny f sweet all She's gotten. *Smirk*] ↑ Unable to stand it any longer, Avery commented. [We have just started!] [It's surprising that he got one even though he's just started!] Chad responded. [Yay!] Jun typed.
[It might be a small one, but I guess it's better than nothing!] Tammy commented.
[Avery, show off when your hubby gets a bigger fish, or I can't even compliment him if I try.] Mike typed. Avery responded with a rolling-eyes emoji and put her phone away.
