Yes, I know that I have 2 other stories that I'm writing but I felt really REALLY inspired to write a Splatoon story, so here it is! Any constructive criticism is appreciated, so please give me tips!
Please enjoy!
"...and another match and tournament win for the Color Cadets!" an announcer squid exclaimed on the TV, a young squid staring at the TV with complete awe, "Thank you all for tuning into the squid leagues! We hope you will join us again next year for another exciting tournament! Until next time, Stay Fresh!" the announcer mimicked the pose of the squid sisters before it going to a dull commercial. The young squid only inches away from the TV, having a huge smile on her face as she jumped up from the floor,
"Yeah! Another win!" She squealed, jumping up and down. Her hair was a light blue, with a large tentacle draped over the left side of her head with the back of the hair going from being longer on the left to shorter on the right. A much older male squid with dark green hair in a bowl cut walked in, giggling to himself,
"What'cha watching there, squiddo?" He chuckled, patting the younger one,
"The Color Cadets won again! They're so awesome, dad!" The father chuckled once more,
"I see, I see. You are a really big fan of them, aren't you?"
"Yeah! They're so awesome with the way they do the 'pew pew' and the 'BLAM!' and then the other team is all like, 'Oh noooooo we're gonna looooose augh!' it's awesome! I wanna be just like them when I can do turf wars, especially that roller! He's so good with the Carbon Deco!" Suddenly, the young girl was blinded when her dad pulled down her Squid Nordic beanie over her eyes, "Hey!"
The father only chuckled, "In 4 years you'll be old enough to move out and start turf wars, who knows, maybe you'll be a new recruit in their team in due time."
"Y-You really think I'll be good enough?" The young girl pulled her beanie up, looking at her father,
"Of course I do, Piki, you're an amazing little girl,"
"Dad! I'm not a little girl anymore! I'm almost 11!" She protested, only to be hugged by dad
"But you'll always be my little baby princess."
"Daaaaaad c'mooon! This is embarrassing!" She cried out, her face turning red. She was soon let go,
"Alright, but get to bed, it's getting late young lady,"
"Alright dad, love you!" She exclaimed, giving her father a kiss as she ran up to her room, still hyped from the win by her favorite turf war team, the Color Cadets.

Pikmin was asleep in her bed, her Squid Nordic hat over her eyes. A loud beeping sound was heard as she groaned, tightening her eyes, wanting to sleep more. Unfortunately for her, the beeping kept going, not letting up anytime soon,
"Ngh… alright, alright I'm uuuuup!" She groaned, sitting up in her bed, slamming her hand onto her digital alarm clock. She let out a large yawn, stretching before sleepily checking the time, "It's only 7am, why is my alarm going off? Normally it goes off at 9am on weekends. Eugh… whatever, I'm already up." She hesitantly got out of bed, taking a few steps before tripping over her guitar case, "Ow! Frickin…" She sighed, picking herself up. She started walking downstairs, still half-asleep. When she entered the kitchen, she heard a loud popping sound, causing her to squeak.
"SURPRISE!" Screamed 3 inklings. Piki's father, still sporting the dark green bowl cut, her mother with pink hair, tentacles tied in a bun, and her older brother with orange, shaved hair. Piki looked at her family, eyes wide and stunned.
"W-What?" She said, stunned,
"Happy Birthday, baby sis!" Her older brother said, patting her head,
"Hey! You're only 2 years older than me, Leo!" She protested, puffing out her cheeks,
"I know, but you're still my baby sister, always and forever." Their parent's chuckled,
"Now, now, Piki, doncha think it's time for gifts?" The mom presented a very large gift to Piki,
"A gift?" Piki hesitantly took it, ripping off the wrapping as she, before loudly screaming in joy, "A CARBON ROLLER?!" She examined it, only to find it was a Carbon Roller Deco, "This is amazing! Why... where, how?!"
"Your mother and I knew how much you wanted it, so we bought it for you." Dad explained, "We thought you'd love it, so here you go!"
"There's one more present from us, here." Mom handed her a box, it was rather small. Piki opened it to find it was clothes, "We bought you some gear we thought would help you. Red Hi-tops and a Chilly Mountain Coat. They didn't have any hoodies but we though you'd like it."
Piki put on the new clothes, fitting her perfectly as she smiled, "I love them! Thanks mom and dad!" She gave her parents a big hug.
"Hey, don't forget my gift!" Leo exclaimed, holding out another very large gift. Piki took hold of it, to find it was very soft. Once she opened it, however…
"A GUITAR?!" She looked at it stunned.
"Yup, I thought you'd really like it, since, you know, you're a musician and all. I hope you like i-" Leo was interrupted as her sister gave him a big hug.
"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" Leo gave a soft smile and pat Piki.
"You're heading out tomorrow, yeah?"
"Yeah, it'll be hard living alone but… I gotta grow up at some point, ya know?" Piki's mom and dad looked at her, somewhat upset.
"You sure you don't wanna stay longer?" Mom asked,
"It'd be best if I were to leave ASAP, but I'll make sure to call and text often!"
"You better, or I'll show up." Leo teased.
"Oh please, don't threaten me!" Piki joked, causing the family to laugh,
"C'mon, let's have some cake." Dad suggested, going to cut everyone a slice, Piki was excited to start her new life, first thing tomorrow morning.
