(The scene begins with a shot of the Inktoplis city at night as half of the cities' lights are shut off. It zooms into a cafe in the square. An Octoling, Marina is listening to "Baby, One more time" by Brittney Spears on her phone while working on her computer, advertising her and her girlfriend, Pearl's next album, "The big comeback.")

Marina: *Singing* "Show me how you want it to be.. tell me, baby, 'cause I need to know now, oh, because.. My loneliness is killing me, and I. I must confess I still believe, still believe. When I'm not with you, I lose my mind. Give me a sign. Hit me, baby, one more time!" Boom! Haha!

Pearl: *Comes back with a cup carrier with two coffees in it* Hehe, You and that song, Marina. Ever since you found it buried in the park, you are always pulling my jacket, begging me to make a cover of it! Haha!

Marina: Well, We did for the new album, Pearl! *Zips up her jacket* Brr! It's cold out here.

Pearl: Well, I told you not to wear that jacket, cause your stomach's hanging out!

(Both laughed. In the shadows of another alleyway, There are these dark purple creatures that look like two female inklings with hats. They were looking at Marina and Pearl having a conversation at the cafe. They soon retreated in the shadows.)

Marina: I still feel scared about what happened to the Ink turfs. I don't want to die. I don't want you to die, Pearl.

Pearl: I'm scared too. *Holds her hand* Truthfully, I can't hide this scary feeling anymore.

???: Marina? Pearl?

Marina: *Both of the Off the Hook couple turn* Oh, Hey, Celia and Mal! Glad you can make it!

(Celia was the Female Inkling, and Mal was the Male Inkling. They married after a few years of Turf wars.)

Celia: How's the Off the Hook girls?

Mal: Heard that you two are making a comeback album!

Marina: Well, We are! I just got done with two more things! Advertising and cover art.

Pearl: And Marina is talking to a few retail owners for selling the albums.

Mal: That is so cool!

Celia: *Giggles* And even better news, We are having a kid!

Pearl: Aww, Congrats!!

Mal: We're even naming it after you two! Mareal!

Marina: That is a lovely name for a girl! Haha!

(All laughed, The shadow creatures from earlier, popped up again, this time in an alleyway that is much closer)

Pearl: We didn't know you two were coming. So, I forgot to order coffee for you two, sorry.

Mal: It's okay! I have my own! *Holds up a steel bottle with coffee in it*

Celia: *Holds up her plastic coffee cup* Got mines too!

Both of the Off the Hook girls: Heh-heh!

Celia: Hey, Have you two heard more about that scary creature that destroyed the Ink turfs?

Marina: We don't know, Besides this scary-ass face called himself "Beothric."

Mal: I heard about that too. I also saw this in the newspaper.. *Hands them a newspaper showing a photo of the Mushroom earth with a missing spot* The Mushroom Kingdom was right there.

Pearl: HOLY SHIT!

Marina: Oh my cod. We were both there for the wedding! We were the DJs!

Pearl: Who died? Or did they say?
