[Video]

[Rather than Noctis appearing when the video comes on it's Quay the Popplio who is looking rather misty eyed as she partially hides behind her flippers which are covering her snout. She sniffles then let's out a cheery bark, throwing her flippers to the side as she blows a few bubbles.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Black boots are visible in the background as someone approaches and the 'gear is picked up along with Quay who let's out another bark, waving her flippers about in excitement.

Ah. There's Noctis!

The young man grins at the 'gear as Quay continues to ramble on and on in Pokespeak.]

I think what she means to say is thanks for the votes, guys. And congratulations to everyone that entered! It was a lot of fun.

[Quay nods and blows a few more bubbles, beaming at the 'gear.

Yeah! That's what she meant!]

Comments

Let's say just after Iggy!

[Quay gets a bit bashful when suddenly there's an Eevee in front of her but she recognizes Prompto and oh this was the Pokemon he'd performed with!]

Hi Pryna! I'm Quay! [The Popplio waves shyly before ducking her head into her flippers.] Oh thank you! I didn't expect to win! I wish you and Prompto had won--you were both really good!

[Noct can't help but laugh as Prompto gets him in a hug, returning it without any hesitation as he blushes a bit.]

Thanks, Prompto. You guys were great, too! That music was so catchy and you guys looked amazing!

Worm! [Action]

Oh thank you! There were so many good acts in our category though, so it's okay. Plus I had a blast! [Pryna pads closer and gently nuzzles Quays side before trying to goad her into a little celebratory dance.] And you won! Let's celebrate!!

[Prompto holds the hug for a few beats longer than normal, completely unaware of the embrace's time and more focused on how good if felt to hug his best friend again.]

Y-you really think so? I had to have Iggy help a little with my costume, and Lux was the one behind Pryna's get-up. The music may have been too catchy ... I think it's still stuck in my head. [He actually starts humming a bit of it before catching himself and holding his camera out to Noctis.]

Hey, wanna see the shots I got? There are loads of them from all the acts, but I have it set to yours right now.

[The nuzzle is returned, albeit shyly, before Quay dissolves into giggles as Pryna starts to dance.]

It looks like you're already celebrating! I don't really know how to dance out of the water, though.

[It's hard when you have flippers and a tail!]

Dude, it was awesome. I mean it! [Even as they break from the hug Noct keeps an arm around the other's shoulders, leaning against him so he can peer at the camera.] Of course I do! I definitely want to get them printed off so Quay can keep a book of them. I know she'll enjoy that and probably want to show her mom and brother.

You can do it! It's like ... excited hopping. But with a friend![Pryna gently reaches for one of Quay's flippers, intending to place it on her shoulder so they could hop around together.]

I won't let you fall, promise!

[Prompto does his best not to blush when Noct keeps an arm over his shoulders, trying to remind himself that he missed his chance a while ago. He grins when Noct mentions making a little photo book for Quay, his heart totally melting at how sweet his friend is.

Prompto's always been a sucker for animals and Pokemon are no exception, and it makes him stupidly happy that his best friend is just as much of a sap for them.]

Whichever ones you like I'll edit and print out. And if you want, we can find the ones you and Quay like best and make them into little lockets for her mom and brother. This way they'll always have the reminder of their Cool little star from when she totally rocked the house! [He's unconsciously brought his arm down around Noct's waist as he flicks through the camera with one hand, leaning into his friend as much as his friend leans into him.]
