Marie held Three's shoulder until Three finally looked up at her.
Three: I hate him.
Marie: Why?
Three: I- I don't know.
Three: Ever since I got back. He's just been... Weird. It's like- I don't know. He just gets on my nerves, you know?
Marie: Yeah I get that. Not everyone can like everyone.
Three wiped the tears from her eyes.
Three: I think he overshadows me. Like everything I do, he does better.
Marie: You mean because he's older?
Three looked down.
Three: maybe...
Marie: Well I for one can tell you-you're way better than Four. In every way. And as a bonus, you don't flirt with every girl you find attractive.
Marie and Three laughed.
Three: Thanks, Marie.
Marie: No biggie. You should probably apologize though.
Three: Ehhh.
Marie: Aw comes on.
Marie grabbed Three's hand and began forcefully dragging her to the drain.
Three: Please no! I'm terrible at apologizing. Marieeee!-
Eight: I just don't understand why she doesn't like you. You're super nice, Four.
Four: Thanks Eight, you always know how to cheer me up.
Eight blushed a bit.
Eight: No problem! :)
Eight walked back to Octavio.
Suddenly, Marie and Three arrived.
Three: H- hey.
Four turned around, closed his eyes, and crossed his arms.
Three: Agh! Four don't be like that! I'm sorry! I really am!
Three hugged him.
Three: Pleasseeee! Forgive me! I love you!
Fours ears perked up.
Four: Did you just-
Three: NO I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!!!!
Marie: Wow, she is horrible at apologizing.
Four: Okay! Okay!! I forgive you!! Please stop hitting me!
Three stopped and tried to catch her breath.
Three: Phew.
Marina: Guys Octavio says he's done with his talk.
Eight: We got notes for Sheldon!
Callie, Pearl, and the Cap'n woke up. Cama pulled out her earbuds.
Cama: Are we done here?
Pearl looked at her playlist.
Pearl: Squid sisters? What about Off the Hook?
Cama pushed her earbuds back in and pretended not to hear.
Octavio: Please do visit again Eight and Marina!
Eight: Don't worry, we will!
Off they went, back to Inklantis City.
Except for the Cap'n, who decided just to stay at the Cabin.
Sheldon: Very interesting...
Marina: So can you do it?
Sheldon: Yes!
Cama: Whoo!
Sheldon: But also no.
Marina: What? Why?
Sheldon: Modding weapons is very illegal. Also, I don't have any Zapfish. The main problem is Zapfish.
Marina: Oh.
Three: Well you know Sheldon, we could just get Cama and Marina to make them.
Sheldon: Slow down, Three! I'm up for it. Just get me those Zapfish.
Three: [Hehe he loves being the inventor of things.]
Four: Well whatever you do make sure you make me a Splat Roller.
Sheldon: Of course, Four!
Marina: Ooh! That reminds me.
Marina: Three, Four, Eight? Can you guys get those weapons I made you?
Three: Yep.
Four: Yeah.
Eight: Yes!
They all brought their weapons.
Sheldon: Wow! These are marvelous Marina!
Marina: They're just prototypes, but I think you can make them work.
Sheldon: Of course!
Three: Well, we better start collecting Zapfish.
They all left Ammo Knights and looked around for the others.
They found them in a small restaurant waiting.
Callie: Three! Four! Eight! Marina! Over here!
They sat at the table.
Pearl: How'd it go?
Marina: He gladly excepted my designs. He said he would try to mix them with Octavio's notes.
Three: We just need Zapfish.
Eight: Where do we get those?
Marie: Easy! We get them from-
Marie: ...
Callie: Normally we would get them from the Octarian Army, but we don't know if they're even around anymore.
Cama: Hmm.
Cama searched something up on her phone and took a bite of her food.
Cama: This article says that Zapfish are only ever seen in the water.
Pearl: But uh, I can't swim.
Callie: None of us can.
Marie: I think I have a solution.
Cama: What is it?
Marie: You know Flow right?
Cama: Yeah, she owned Headspace back in Inkopolis square.
Marie: Well her daughter is here. She opened up a small headgear store.
Callie: So?
Marie: Seaslugs can swim!
