Splatoon Rise of the octarians.
Chapter 2 – Meeting up
Sprinkle got off the train after leaving her home that was on the far west side outskirts of Inkopolis. The road leading into Inkopolis plaza was closed due to the preparations for the Splatfest that would happen that night. Sprinkle walked casually down the road towards a café where 3 inklings stood with their backs up against the wall. Sprinkle drew closer to the 3 inklings, as she did one of them a Inkling girl that was 16 with yellow tentacles that were tied up in a plat looked up and waved frantically to Sprinkle. "Sprinkle! Over here!" shouted the yellow inkling. "Hey Suzie" replied Sprinkle as her walk developed into a run. "Sorry I'm late the train was delayed because of the Splatfest preparations" continued Sprinkle. "Don't worry about it we knew it was probably the train's fault that you were late" replied Suzie. "Either the train or your old man giving you a lecture again about seeing me" said a boy inkling. Sprinkle turned and flung her arms around the inkling boy "we did have some small dispute" she said. "But my mum agreed in the end that you deserve a second chance Shade, so here I am" continued Sprinkle with a smile on her face as she let go of Shade. Shade was a Inkling boy of the age of 17, he had black tentacles which were held up by a small bobble and bright green eyes. He wore a black leather jacket and dark blue jeans. "Yes you are" said Shade pulling Sprinkle into a kiss. "For god sake you two give it a rest you both have been here 5 seconds and you are eating each other's faces off, if you are that hungry we are outside a café" said Suzie as she rolled her eyes at the two inklings. "Oh yea, Sprinkle have you met Lilly my younger sister?" said Suzie as she dragged the last inkling forward. Lilly, Suzie's younger sister was a inkling that was 14, she had just been able to turn into her human form and was still a bit rusty using her two legs, she had orange tentacles which she left to dangle over her ears, her eyes were of a sapphire blue, she wore a pink skirt and light blue shirt. "I think I am capable of introducing myself Suzie" said Lilly quietly. "As if, you are so shy you find it hard to speak to any of the shop keepers in Booyah base, let alone any of my friends" replied Suzie with a giggle as Lilly's tentacles changed slowly to a bright pink colour. "Come on Suzie leave your sister alone" said Sprinkle, she grabbed Lilly's hand softly and said "pay no attention to her Lilly it is lovely to meet you". Lilly's tentacles turned back to yellow as she relaxed more. "Speaking about Booyah base" interrupted Shade, "why don't we go and check if there are any cool things to buy that we could use tonight". The inklings agreed and began to walk further down the road, Shade and Sprinkle holding hands and Suzie and Lilly behind. "Why does your dad hate Shade so much Sprinkle?" asked Suzie as she trotted behind her. "Oh it was over something that happened a few years ago" replied Sprinkle. "And what happened a few years ago?" asked Lilly. "Lilly don't be so rude!" snapped Suzie, Lilly looked to the ground in shame. "Well…." Said Sprinkle "let's just say Sheldon is still cautious about seeing me and shade together" said Sprinkle with a cheeky grin. "Well you did say you wanted that Splattershot pro" said Shade jokingly. "Yes but 1. I didn't mean for you to go your own methods of getting it for me, 2. I'm not a high enough level to buy it, and 3. Sheldon nearly lost his life as well as me just because you couldn't control the gun" replied Sprinkle in an annoyed tone. By this time the inklings had got to the rear doors of Booyah bace. "Wow chill babe, I was only joking" replied Shade in a panic. "Yes I know," said Sprinkle in annoyance, "but if you do something like that again it will be the end of us, my father isn't happy about me seeing you as it is, is getting my father angry, if something happens again he will turn us both into….". "Calamari" interrupted Lilly. "Exactly" said Sprinkle not taking her big eyes off Shade. "No "admitted Lilly, "there's Callie and Marie "said Lilly with excitement. Sprinkle looked through the glass doors into Booyah base and saw the squid sisters casually strolling towards her with a dozen or so of shopping bags each, they opened the doors and stopped next to Sprinkle. "Hey Sprinkle long time no see" said Callie with a smile. "hi, I know it has been like forever since I last saw you both…well you know in person, I see you on the tv nearly every day" replied Sprinkle with a giggle. "Are you going to Splatfest tonight?" asked Marie in a quiet timid voice. "Ye I'm really looking forward to it, it should be a fun night" answered Sprinkle. As the squid sisters and Sprinkle were having their conversation the other three inklings just stood and stared in surprise and excitement. Sprinkle had never told no-one about her knowing the squid sisters; in fact no-one apart from the squid sisters, captain cuttlefish and the octarians even knew that Sprinkle had saved inkopolis two years ago from the octarians. After Sprinkle's conversation with the squid sisters and the squid sisters were out of earshot, Suzie blurted out in excitement "YOU KNOW THE SQUID SISTERS!?...How!?". Sprinkle began to explain "Well it was two years ago when". Suddenly Lilly interrupted "Now look who is being rude, invading on Sprinkle's personal life, you should be ashamed of yourself Suzie". Suzie's yellow tentacles rippled to a deep fiery red. "Listen you two" said Shade laughing, "it doesn't matter how Sprinkle knows them can we just go inside now? Otherwise all the good things will be sold out" Shade put an arm around Sprinkle and all 4 of the inklings walked through the doors, with one inkling who was still bombarding Sprinkle with 30 million questions about her relationship with the squid sisters. No-one seemed to notice the thick gloopy dark purple ink slowly rising up out of the drains.
