Mending Hearts

Prologue

She did it.

The plan succeeded, the statue was destroyed. She glanced around her surroundings. A tall brown and green Octoling was tackling and hugging a small white and pink inkling. Without knowing what this sort of physical display was, it still made her feel joy. Captain Cuttlefish was jumping and still being the so-called "hype man" then craned his head to agent eight and beamed at her with a smile.

Finally, she saw an inkling boy, 4 tentacles all tied up in a top knot, now with a bandage on the back of his head. She remembered he hit on the ground when saving her and the Captain. He had a very noticeable smudge of neon teal ink scarred on the entire right half of his face, along with his eye and the tip of his ear. She watched him as he peacefully lay there, she smiled at him with a small warm feeling in her chest area. Suddenly, his eyes started to flutter open. He looked clueless as he took a shocked, confused look at what surrounded him, then finally landed his eyes on her. Dark pink meeting mint green and scarlet. At this moment her smile just became brighter, and she saw a faint tint of red on his cheeks.

He then slowly started to stumble himself into a sitting position.

She stood up and steadily walked over standing next to him, his feet were dangling off the edge of the platform.

"Alrighty yo! 'Rina and I have a song we made for Eight!" Pearl, the short pink inkling with a princess crown and an oversized hoodie bellowed.

The tall Octoling next to her Marina, or "'Rina" as Pearl just referred to her, clicked a few keys on her laptop, then a calming tune started to play through the speakers as they made their way to the surface.
