Agent 3

Chapter 13: Goodbye

Carter had been planning for this party as much as he could. He was so nervous. I hope they like it! Oh no! That needs to be there... this looks better here... things have to be PERFECT! He worried. Everyone was here, except for Callie and Marie. They were told they were needed at Octo Valley at 3:00 pm. They weren't told why, though.

"Guys! They're coming!" Said Erin.

"Shhh! Everyone get down!" Said Carter. Callie and Marie then walked in.

"Hello...?" Marie said cautiously. "Is anyone here?"

"SURPRISE!" Everyone shouted. 

"We wanted to have a goodbye party for you guys! You know, since you're going to be leaving soon." Said Carter.

"A-are you... crying?" Asked Ila, pointing at Callie.

"Yes! You guys are so nice! I'm going to miss you so much!" She cried and ran over to give Carter a hug. "Thank you!"

"Wow, you guys are amazing!" Praised Marie.

"Thanks but, this was all Carter's idea." Ila said.

"Well, you guys helped, too." Carter said shyly. He wasn't used to this much attention.

The next few hours were spent partying with everyone. Carter's dad brought pizza at around 5 pm, and at 5:30 Cap'n brought in a cake. It was 2 tiers tall, and was decorated in pink and green, and it read 'We Will Miss You!' on the top.

"OH MY COD! A CAKE?" Gasped Callie. "AND IT'S CHOCOLATE! THANKYOUSOMUCHGUYS!" Callie looooooved chocolate cake, it was her favorite thing in the world (aside from performing with her cousin, of course).

When the party was over, Carter stayed for a bit longer to help clean up.

"Hey, Carter?" Marie asked.

"Yes?"

"Thanks. And, sorry I doubted you when we first met, you're a really great guy and helped us a lot. I guess Gramps was right about you after all." She said.

"Thanks, Marie. That means a lot coming from you." He smiled.

"Awwww! Group hug!" Said Callie as she pulled in her two favorite people for a hug. "I'm gonna miss you, Carter! You're so nice, and caring, and strong, and brave, and, well, you're just amazing! I don't what we would've done without you." She cried.

"Aw, thanks Callie. You're the nicest person I've ever met! I  gonna miss you too." The three friends sat there hugging each other for another minute. "Well, I better get going before my dad gets mad at me for coming home late. Bye guys..."

"Wait, before you leave," Marie said. "Stay Fresh!" The Squid Sisters held up their arms and did their signature pose, one arm raised halfway and the other raised all the way.

"Stay Fresh!" Said Carter, doing the same thing.
