[Splatoon] The secret that lays in our hearts

Chapter 8: Gusher Gauntlet - Take to the Skies -

Duncan awoke in his bed to a bright sun, burning his eyes. He put his covers over his face as he tried to go back to sleep, but saw something next to him. It looked like a note. He read it; it was from his parents saying that they had gone out for the morning, and he had to do housework before he could go anywhere. He sighed at looked at his clock. 9:30AM . He sat up and stretched and got up out of his bed. He read the list on what he had to do. Luckily; he only had to do two things. He had to tidy up the place and polish the kitchen. He walked out of his bedroom in his palm-tree patterned pyjama shorts and started to do his chores.

After finishing off all of his chores, he went back into his bedroom and face-planted into his bed. Duncan looked up to check his clock. 10:30AM. He slowly slid off of his bed to the ground until he suddenly heard his phone vibrate. He got up and grabbed his phone from off of the table, it turned out just to be a notification from a game on his phone. Duncan sighed, and unlocked his phone and called Abbie.

...ring ring...

...ring ring...

...no answer...

Maybe she was busy? He walked to his wardrobe and got his bodysuit off of the clothes rack, along with his Sailor Stripes Tee and placed them on his bed, his phone started to ring, he answered it,

"Hello?" Duncan said,

"Hey! Sorry I didn't pick up the phone I was eating breakfast." Abbie replied,

"Oh, it's alright, I just finished doing some housework. I woke up to a note on my bedside-table saying that my parents had gone out." Duncan laughed a bit,

"So you're home alone right now?" Asked Abbie,

"Yeah." he answered,

"So do you wanna go and help Cap'n out today?" giggled Abbie over the phone,

"Sure, just let me get ready." Duncan said,

"Alright, see you then. Meet me at the drain." Abbie hung up.

Duncan grabbed the clothes off of his bed and put them on, he went into the bathroom and washed his face with refreshing turquoise ink, then brushed his beak (A/N What I mean by beak is Duncan's teeth, you know, their pointy fangs. xP). Duncan grabbed his scrunchie and tied his tentacles back, he ran downstairs and put his Red Hi-top shoes on, he tied up the laces and walked out of the door. Duncan locked it and ran to the plaza.

Abbie stood at the drain waiting patiently, Duncan sneaked up to her, trying to catch his breath and the same time,
"H...Hey..." Duncan said gasping for air,
"Hi." Abbie smiled with a little laugh, they looked around and the plaza was somewhat empty, nobody was looking either. They jumped down the drain into Octo Valley.

They entered Octo Valley, with Cap'n looking at them,
"Hello." He said,
"Hi." Replied Abbie,
...
...
..
...
...
...Abbie nudged Duncan,
"Oh, good morning Cap'n." He laughed a bit. Cap'n stayed silent as Abbie and Duncan started to ink the area for more levels. After about half an hour of looking, they both gave up, and walked near the boss kettle. Duncan wiped a bit of sweat off of his forehead. The sun burned down on the two as they stared at the kettle,
"Maybe if I...hm..." Duncan poked the kettle..
..
..
..bzzt..
..
..smoke was coming from somewhere,
"Duncan, what did you do?!" Abbie said in fear,
"I poked the kettle!!" He replied in innocence. Glass shattered from a distance,
"What was that?!" Abbie hid behind Duncan and looked around from side to side,
"I think it was that?" Duncan pointed towards an inkrail,
"They can break?" Abbie questioned,
"No, I don't think that's it.." Duncan walked up to it as he saw glass shattered all over the floor, along with a sign and the few poles of metal. He checked out the Inkrail and it was just fine,
"We have to use the Inkrail, and it's safe." Duncan smiled as he inked the rail and went fourth to another area of Octovalley. It seemed empty,
"Wait for me!!" Abbie ran and dived into the Inkrail to catch up to him.
