( holy shit we're actually doing another one of these. Wow. Well then, welcome back everyone to the fucking ridiculous story that is this story, full of self awareness, sex, and messy plot points as far as the eye can see. There is remarkably less sex this time though, so that's something. Anyway, enjoy this fucking train wreck of a story. Now excuse me while I go get the narrator...)
-chapterstart-
( NARRATOR! GET OVER HERE! )
What? Oh, is it time for the sequel?
( Yeah, here's the script. Keep to it please. And no reading ahead! )
Alright, alright. Let's see here... Starting with Arron? Cool. Two years later as well? Nice!
( Yeah, yeah, let's get a move on. )
Are you gonna make fizz part of-
( Shut up. Just narrate already. )
Fine, geez.
Arron tries to calm himself down as he gets his tuxedo on.
"It's ok, it's fine... We're just getting married."
He smiles.
"Heh, can't believe it's been this long already..."
A knock at the door snaps him from his thoughts.
"Come in!"
Fizz walks in, with a phone to his ear and a notepad in his hands.
"Alright, when is it- no, the next one! Oi! Who's planning the reception here?! Yeah, that's what I thought."
He hangs up the phone, and shoves it in his pocket.
He sighs.
"Fuck dude, when did everything become so complicated?"
Arron laughs.
"When we became too old for turf wars."
Fizz smiles.
"When YOU And ANTHONY became too old you mean. Me and Karl are still perfectly young."
Arron rolls his eyes.
" You would never play without us."
Fizz shrugs.
"Eh, you got me there. Oh, by the way, they just finished construction on inkopolis square!"
Arron pumps his fist.
"Nice! New hangout!"
They both chuckle.
"Alright, I got planning to do. It's the big day, and it's starting to get to me."
Arron pats fizz on the shoulder.
"You'll do fine. I trust you."
Fizz sighs, and nods.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll see you at the alter."
He walks out, leaving Arron to finish dressing.
Fizz writes some stuff down on the notepad, and hears his phone ringing.
"Yello?"
"Ey, boss! Just wanted to let you know we landed the gig as inkopolis square's new news casters!"
Fizz smiles.
"Nice one! Are you sure Marina's ready for that though?"
"She'll be fine, she's been psyching herself up for a while now, Right?"
He hears a mumbled reply.
"See? Don't worry, we got this. Just enjoy your wedding!"
"Yeah... See you later, Pearl."
"See you later fizzie!"
Fizz groans, and hangs up.
"I hate that nickname..."
He turns a corner, only to be stopped.
"One kiss to proceed, please."
Fizz smiles and rolls his eyes.
"Damn it, how will I ever afford this?"
Sarah giggles.
"C'mon, just do it."
He brings her in for a quick kiss.
"Alright, you may go."
He grins and walks past her, looking down at his notepad again.
"Alright, still gotta order the cake, but otherwise I'm good."
"You shouldn't worry so much."
Fizz looks up and sees Marie standing there.
"Marie! You made it!"
"Wouldn't miss it for the world. Now what's up?"
"I'm finishing the planning for the reception."
"Arron made you the planner?"
"Yep. Callie did a great job with the wedding, and I'm trying to do well with the reception."
"When does the service start?"
"An hour. You can go sit down."
Marie shrugs.
"Alright. See you later, 'best man'."
Fizz smiles and walks down the hall.
He knocks on Anthony's dressing room.
"Come in!"
He opens the door, and Anthony turns around and grins.
"Fizz! My man, how's the reception coming?"
"Pretty good, just gotta get the cake."
Anthony gives a thumbs up.
"Nice! Where's it at?"
Fizz raises an eyebrow.
"You'll find out. Stop trying to get it out of me."
Anthony frowns.
"Damn. Well, I gotta get married. Now get out, I'm trying to fix this stupid bowtie."
Fizz nods and walks out.
"Heeeeeeey fizz!"
Fizz gives a high five to Karl.
"What's up my guy? How's it been going?"
"Good! Me and Callie decorated the wedding hall, and we're all ready!"
Fizz sighs.
"Good, now we just wait for everyone to get here."
Karl gives a fistbump to fizz and walks off.
"Alright, let's do a roll call here..."
He walks into the hall.
"Alright, who's here?"
Callie waves from the alter, and Rece gives a thumbs up.
"Alright, we got a few. Nice job with the decorations, Callie!"
"Thanks! I know you'll do just as good with the reception!"
He nods and leaves.
"Alright... Zoey and John aren't coming, so we have only a few other people."
Fizz pulls out his phone and types a number.
"Hello, is the cake ready? Good, when I can I pick it up? Alright, I'm on my way."
Sarah pokes fizz.
"Hey Sarah. What's up?"
"You can't pick up the cake..."
Fizz frowns.
"But I-"
"Because I'm gonna do it!"
Fizz smiles.
"If you're offering, I'm not gonna refuse."
Sarah laughs.
"Where would you be without me? Alright, where am I getting it from?"
Fizz scribbles down the address and gives it to her.
"I'll come check on it later, don't mess it up!"
Sarah rolls her eyes.
"I wish Zoey and John were here to see this..."
A wedding? Weren't there enough cliches in the first one?
( Would you... Ugh, whatever. The story is built on cliches. )
Which ones haven't you used yet?
( You'll see. Now hurry it up. )
-segmentline-
"Did we have to cancel...?"
Zoey stretches and yawns.
"We can't take Jamie out that far. It's too long of a walk."
John sighs.
"Damn, I love weddings..."
"We'll get the next one, I'm sure Sarah and fizz won't be too far behind."
John laughs.
"Or Karl and Callie. But yeah, I guess you have a point."
Some giggling and a crash are heard.
"Oh no, what'd she get into now...?"
Zoey gets up and runs to the kitchen.
"Ahhahah! Abababab..."
Zoey picks up the baby, and walks back to John.
John pats the kids head.
"You know, I guess we should've figured that all that stuff I pumped into you would cause something like this."
Zoey sighs.
"It was worth it. Besides, it's not like it's been terrible taking care of her..."
John shrugs.
"Yeah, I guess. I was totally not prepared for an octoinkling this fast though."
Zoey rolls her eyes.
-segmentline-
"So, what do we say?"
Joey and zodiac look at each other before putting their hands up.
"OFF SEASON! OFF SEASON!"
Aurie laughs.
"Alright! Let's play some non competitive matches!"
Zodiac taps Aurie's shoulder.
"Who are we getting for our forth this year?"
"I don't know. We have time to figure it out though."
Joey nods.
"Yeah, we can always just check the backfill list too."
Aurie nods and opens the door to the tower.
"Ah! Aurie, good to see you!"
Aurie smiles.
"Hey, what's up?"
The announcer straightens some papers and smiles.
"The inkopolis tower is now closed!"
Aurie gasps, and Joey and zodiac stare in shock.
"Don't worry, it's moving to inkopolis square!"
Aurie breaths a sigh of relief.
"Is it open now?"
The announcer nods.
"Yep. See you there!"
He takes his papers and leaves.
"Well, guess we gotta get ready for this."
They all walk out and looks around.
"I'm gonna miss this place."
-segmentline-
"Alright... Everyone! The service will start momentarily, so be patient!"
Fizz writes some stuff on his notepad and nods.
"Everyone's here. Now to check on the groom and the...groom."
He walks down the hall, and sees Karl standing outside Anthony's door.
"Ready to walk them down?"
Karl nods.
"Why are we giving them away again?"
Fizz facepalms.
"Because Anthony doesn't want to see his parents and Arron's parents are anti-gay."
"Oh, right."
Fizz walks off, making his way to Arron's room.
He knocks on the door.
"You almost ready?"
"Yeah, just tell me when..."
"It's about that time."
He hears Arron sighs, and the door opens.
"I hate tuxedos..."
Fizz laughs.
"You're looking Sharp there, pal."
"Don't make me have to give you more shit to do."
"On top of reception planner, best man, and technical parent?"
Arron nods.
"I'll make you have to clean up afterwards.",
"Oh, fuck that dude, let's just do this."
He wraps his arm around Arron's, and walks down the hallway, earning a thumbs up from Karl.
"Good luck!"
Fizz leads Arron down the aisle, before unwrapping their arms and giving each other a high five.
They both walk up to the alter.
"I'm nervous."
Fizz snickers.
"Just marry Anthony already, you gay fag."
Arron smiles and turns back torwards the door.
Karl and Anthony walk in, slowly making their way down the aisle.
Sarah comes in behind them, throwing flowers behind them, as well as at several people.
They come up to the alter as well, and they stand on the other side.
Sarah comes up and gives fizz a kiss, before sitting down in the front.
The priest nods and starts reading his whole spiel.
Fizz rolls his eyes and sighs quietly.
Anthony smirks at him and nods.
"...would the grooms like to read off their vows?"
Arron clears his throat and nods.
"Look, I'm no expert at giving speeches like this, and frankly, I didn't want to give one. But I feel it's important to say how much Anthony has changed my life."
He turns to Anthony, who's smiling.
"Ever sense I met you, and by extension, Fizz and Karl, I felt like I belonged. My parent were overbaring as hell and being able to just hang around with some people who didn't care was exactly what I needed."
He turns to Fizz, who nods.
"Now, it was mostly fizz who got me out the initial rut I was in when we all first met, as Anthony and Karl spent more time together without us, and I have to thank you for that."
"It was my pleasure. You were hella quiet and depressing when we first met, and I wanted to change that. Athough, I doubt I was the one who truely did it, was I?"
Arron shakes his head.
"While you did play a big role, it was definitely Anthony who pulled me out of it for good. In the most unconventional way possible..."
Anthony laughs.
"But it was for the best. Everything after that was great! Except for..."
Karl stomps his foot.
"NO. None of that. We put that past us years ago."
Arron smiles and looks back torwards Anthony.
"Point is, I couldn't imagine my life without any of you in it. Thank you, all of you."
The priest nods and looks torwards Anthony.
Anthony nods.
"When I met Arron, the first thing I thought, legitimately, was 'holy fuck, he's so cute.' Then he shot me with an aerospray. So as far as first meetings go, it was unique."
Some laughter from the crowd.
"I started thinking of how I could get him to date me. I eventually settles on the most ridiculous tactic I could've gone for. Fucking him then asking him out. But it worked, so I think I chose well."
Fizz chuckles.
"Just keep your door locked next time."
Anthony laughs.
"Not on your life."
Karl gags.
"But as much as I like joking about it, I love Arron. That will never change. Everything's just better with him."
The priest nods and points to Fizz.
"Would the best man please grab the rings."
Fizz moves back and grabs the rings, before walking back to the priest.
"Do you, Anthony, take Arron to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Anthony grabs the ring and puts it on his finger.
"I do."
"And do you, Arron, take Anthony to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Arron takes the ring and puts it on as well.
"I do."
"Then you may kiss the...groom?"
They move together and kiss, cheers following.
Fizz and Karl fistbump, and cheer themselves.
Anthony breaks apart and looks torwards fizz.
"Well? Can I find out where the reception is now?"
Fizz laughs.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's get going."
He starts down the aisle, with everyone starting to follow behind him.
"Did you get the cake?"
Sarah smiles.
"You did a great job."
Fizz sighs.
"I hope so."
-segmentline-
"Woah..."
Aurie, Joey and zodiac gaze in awe at the square.
"This is so cool!"
"Look at the tower!"
"The new shops look amazing!"
They rush around, looking at everything there is to see.
"Hey guys..."
Aurie gestures for zodiac and Joey to come over to her.
"What's this place?"
"Grizzco industries? What do they do?"
Joey shrugs.
"Maybe we'll have to find out sometime, eh?"
Zodiac chuckles.
"Did you guys see the new flounder heights building? Fizz and Sarah have it good!"
Aurie laughs.
"They always have it good. That place is a damn penthouse."
"The fact that they moved flounder heights is kinda funny though. They just want all the super stars to be next to the hotspot."
"No problem for them I'm sure. Sarah and fizz said they planned to move in after the wedding."
"Why weren't we invited again?"
"Close friends only. I guess we don't count."
Joey frowns.
"Ouch. I mean, I see why. But still."
Aurie shrugs.
"Weddings aren't my style anyway. Now turf wars and sex? That's my style!"
Joey rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, and when you come back to the house with a guy every other week, I feel creeped out."
"Well, I can't fuck you guys all the time, I gotta have some variety!"
Zodiac rolls his eyes.
"Whatever. Let's just go sign in."
They start walking torwards the tower.
-segmentline-
They walk into a giant room, and fizz immediately turns and goes to a table on the right.
"Enjoy. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to pig the fuck out on this candy."
He takes a handful and eats it.
Everyone looks around, and starts moving in random directions.
Anthony looks up to the DJ stand, and sees hopper waving at him.
"Hopper?!"
"Yeah! I volunteered to be the DJ when fizz couldn't find anyone. It's nice to see you guys again after so long!"
He flips a record and puts it down, starting the music. A electronic beat starts.
"An old favorite, right?"
Anthony laughs, and goes over to Arron.
""How's my lovely groom doing?"
Arron turns and kisses him.
"Did fizz do a good job or what? A DJ, full buffet AND candy buffet, and colored lights! This is amazing!"
Anthony looks around, and sees the cake on the table, which Sarah is taking a piece of.
She waves at them and gestures torwards the cake.
"Fizz had it specially made, it's a ice cream cake with actual ice cream as frosting!"
Anthony blinks and runs over to the cake.
"How did he know I've always wanted one of those?!"
Arron rolls his eyes and goes over to Fizz.
"This is amazing, fizz. Thank you."
Fizz swallows his candy and shrugs.
"It was no problem. Now go enjoy the reception."
Arron nods and walks off, and Rece walks up to fizz.
"Hey... Thanks for inviting me..."
"No problem. You helped us when everything was fucked, so I figured you deserved an invite."
"You didn't need to..."
"Yeah I did. Now go enjoy yourself a bit, alright?"
Rece nods and walks off.
Callie and Marie walk over to Fizz.
"Nice job Fizz! You might've even outdone me!"
Fizz laughs.
"No, you did better then me. You also had to plan more..."
Callie frowns.
"C'mon, give yourself some credit, this is great!"
Fizz shrugs.
"If you say so."
Marie groans.
"Why won't you take the complement? This is an amazing reception!"
Fizz sighs, and grabs more candy.
"I always feel like I could've done better. You know?"
"That's stupid. You're stupid."
Fizz rolls his eyes.
"Whatever. Just leave me alone."
Callie frowns and is about to say something, when Marie shakes her head and starts pulling her away.
Sarah walks over to fizz and kisses his cheek.
"What's up?"
Fizz sighs, and turns torwards her.
"I won't take Callie's compliment..."
Sarah frowns and leans her head on him.
"But this is a good reception! I mean, I love it, so it must be good."
Fizz chuckles.
"Damn it... Why do you gotta be so cute?"
Sarah smirks and picks her head up again.
"It comes naturally. Now stop feeling bad for yourself and go talk with someone."
She walks off, heading back to the cake.
Fizz looks back at the candy, before taking a handful and stuffing it into his pocket.
"She's right... I should talk to someone."
He looks at Karl, who's discussing something with hopper.
"Yeah..."
"So you do know more songs then?"
Hopper nods.
"Can't play them though. Universe laws and all."
"Man... Can you at least just play one?"
Hopper leans back and smiles.
"Mm... Maybe. Just wait until the end."
Karl grins.
"Hey guys."
Fizz walks up, shoving some candy in his mouth.
"Hey fizz. Great reception."
"Mm. So I've been told."
Hopper laughs.
"Well, any party with me here is automatically amazing, but even without me, this would be a great reception."
He changes the track, and nods his head to the beat.
Karl nods and takes some candy out of fizz's hand.
"The candy bar was a nice touch."
Fizz smiles.
"I got the idea from my aunt's wedding. They had a candy bar for the kids."
"As far as I know, no one here is a kid..."
Fizz smirks.
"What, you're not a kid? Could've fooled me."
Karl punches fizz's arm.
"Shut up, man!"
Hopper sighs.
"I miss when I had friendships like you guys do. My work takes all my time up nowadays. I barely attend my high school anymore..."
"You're in high school? How old are you?"
Hopper smiles.
"I'm 15. Surprised, hmm?"
Fizz narrows his eyes.
"That's not possible. How are you younger than me?"
Hopper shrugs.
"I run alongside the real me. I'm always the same age as him. I love what I do, but... I miss just hanging around."
Karl frowns.
"Why don't you take a break...?"
"I want to, I really do. But ever since I got stuck in a loop of Splatoon fanfics, I've had no god damn break!"
Karl and fizz look at each other.
"Splatoon...?"
Hopper blinks.
"Oh, fuck. Uh... Don't worry about that. The point is, you guys should go enjoy the party! Yeah..."
Hopper starts messing with his mixing table, avoiding eye contact with Karl and fizz.
"Uh, ok. C'mon Karl."
They walk off, and hopper sighs.
"I need a break."
-segmentline-
A young inkling steps into the square and looks around.
"This place looks nice. It's a shame about the plaza though..."
He walks over to grizzco industries, and knocks on the gate.
" Mr. Grizz? I'm here..."
The gate slowly opens, and the inkling walks inside.
"Good, look kid, I need some golden eggs so my business can get off the ground. You need to go out and get a couple. By yourself. Are you sure you're up for this?"
The inkling nods and grabs his roller.
"How many eggs?"
"14. At least. I'll pay you double for every egg rescued after that. Just remember, when you want to leave, get back to the boat. That's your only way out."
The inkling nods and walks to the locker room.
"Salmonoids can't be that bad... This'll be easy money, and then I can finally afford my own place!"
He pulls out a picture of an apartment building.
"It's the perfect spot... Plus, she lives there... I hope."
He stuffs the photo into his pocket and walks to the dock.
"All ready?"
The inkling steps onto the boat and checks his gear.
"Yep. All good."
"Good luck out there kid..."
The boat leaves, blowing steam in it's wake.
"You're gonna need it."
-segementline-
The reception went on for most of the day, with several interesting things happening.
• Anthony, Arron, and Sarah did a triplet of 'get lucky' when it was played. Everyone loved it.
• Rece turned out to be a phenomenal dancer and him and Marie did some ridiculous dance routines.
• Karl and Fizz ate all the candy. All of it.
• Callie and hopper collaborated on a song change that ended up forcing hopper to sing. Everyone was surprised at his ability.
• Pearl and marina showed up later on, and played one of their new tracks for the party. Afterwards, they spent the entire party flirting. With each other. They left after around an hour.
"Well, this has been fun, but I should really be going."
Marie waves at everyone, and walks out.
Fizz frowns.
"Damn, she's gonna miss the drinks!"
Everyone stares at him, when a cart of booze is rolled in through the door.
Marie walks back in.
"Is that beer for us...?"
Fizz nods.
"Well, I just got a new reason to stay."
Everyone starts taking drinks, except Rece, who seems to not like beer.
Hopper levitates a bottle over to him, and laughs.
"Well, I suppose now's a good time."
He pulls out a disk labeled"DAG medley".
"This one's for you, Karl."
Karl pumps his fist, and takes a drink.
He puts this disk in, and jumps onto the dance floor.
"Only, I want to sing it. So get ready!"
The song starts, with a beat no one knows.
He starts moving around, singing, when something wierd happens.
He splits into three, only the other two have inkling and octoling tentacles.
"HEY, HEY, STAY RIGHT THERE, THERE'S DYING LEFT TO DO!"
Everyone stares in amazment, as hopper and his clones dance around, harmonizing.
Some parts he sings are familiar, while others are completely new.
"I'M LOST, IN THE DARK!"
He finishes the song, and the clones seem to dissapate.
He bows, and walks back to his table.
"How was that? Good, right?"
Fizz gets it together first, and nods.
"Yeah, but where did those other two come from?"
Hopper smirks.
"Long story, like... Really. Really. REALLY long."
He shrugs.
"It's no big deal. I use them for harmony anyway."
Everyone else slowly comes to, and goes back to what they were doing.
The party goes on, with everything slowing down around midnight.
"Alright, time to wrap it up. We got three squids drunk off their asses, and we need to get them home."
Anthony puts Arron's arm on his shoulders and starts moving him out.
"Aw... Why *hic* can't we keep going?"
Fizz stumbles a bit, before walking out.
Callie is trying to get Marie to move.
"No, want more beer..."
"You have beer! Let's go!"
Rece is escorting Karl out to the best of his ability.
"Can someone tell me where Karl lives...?"
Sarah walks over, and I use the term walk loosly here, and tells him.
"Thanks..."
Sarah gives a thumbs up, and "walks" out the door.
"Let's get you home..."
Karl hiccups, and mumbles something in response.
"Hey, Rece."
Hopper walks up next to him.
"Yeah...?"
"Here."
Hopper hands him a disk case with a bunch of relics in it.
"You lost this quite some time ago, did you not? I thought I'd return it."
Rece smiles and takes it.
"I thought this was gone for good... Thank you..."
Hopper bows, and walks away, disappearing.
Rece starts escorting Karl out.
