That evening, after Anjanette had finished volunteering at the rescue center for the day, A Wave Tossed in the Ocean invited her, Ferdinand, Tammy, and Becky to dinner. Les said, "I'm sure you know what this is about." Ferdinand said, "You mean the rumor that you and Jimmy are in love and getting married?" Jimmy said, "Yeah." Les said, "We were wondering if you could help us put an end to this rumor." Tammy said, "But we don't know how." Anjanette added, "It is a tall order." Jimmy said, "Hey, you're tall!" Everyone laughed. Becky said, "I know. Ferdinand and I are actually a couple." Ferdinand blushed. She said, "We could maybe talk to the fans." Ferdinand said, "Anjanette, I think you should do the honors of speaking first." She said, "I, uh, I'm not very good at public speaking." Charles said, "Don't worry, Anjanette. You won't be alone." Felix added, "That's right. We will be nearby." Tammy said, "We all will." Anjanette said, "Well, okay...." She wanted to help her friends put an end to the rumor. Although she was growing more and more confident, Anjanette still had some insecurities. She remembered the last time she got in front of a crowd. It was for a talent show. When she saw everyone in the audience, she was frightened, to the point of almost vomiting. She instead fell back in a dead faint. A picture of her lying unconscious on the stage was featured on the school paper. She hoped that this experience would not be repeated.
