One week later.
"OW!" Kareshi screamed as he threw the fake octoling tentacle on the floor.
He then started to rub his tentacle. "Oh cod, that hurt. It wouldn't have killed Iho to get a bigger size.
His attention then turned to the mirror as he looked up and down his octoling armour. "You know what? Forget this! I'll just get Iho's help when I go down to Octo Valley."
He then looked at his watch. "Oh No! I got half an hour! I need to move!"
Kareshi then quickly took off his octoling armour, put on his everyday clothes, grabbed his blue backpack and left for Octo Valley.
Twenty minutes later.
Iho sat on the hill as Kareshi ran towards her. "Whoa! Kareshi why are you running so fast?"
"Just wanted to be on time." Kareshi replied before giving Iho a kiss. "And I need help."
"With what?"
Kareshi pulled out the two tentacles. "With these tentacles, I can't put them on without my tentacles hurting." He tried to put them on only to wince in pain.
"Kareshi..."
"Yeah Iho?"
"You got it backwards."
Kareshi took a look at the two fake tentacles. "Oh my cod... Are you serious?"
"Yup." Iho replied.
"Well I'm gonna get changed, when I'm done, we need to get me a new name so people don't recognize me as agent three."
Iho nodded. "I already got one picked out."
Kareshi then went behind the trees with his bag over his shoulder.
When he came out, he was wearing the armour. "So Iho... How do I look?"
Iho walked over to him and threw her arms around his neck. "Handsome like always." they then shared a kiss. "And if anyone asks, your name is Tako."
"Ok then. So is it time for us to go?"
"Well, not yet. We still got forty minutes until it opens."
Kareshi then grabbed Iho's hand. "Well let's start walking now, only we'll take the scenic route."
Iho smiled. "How about we stop at the big rock octopus?" She suggested as they started to walk.
"Sure, why not?"
As they walked, Kareshi's phone started to ring.
"Are you gonna answer it?" Iho asked.
"Nah, I'm with you right now."Kareshi replied.
Forty minutes later with Agents One and Two.
"He's not answering his squidphone! Where is he!?" Agent Two asked.
"He's not at Cuttlefish's shack, his apartment, or in an ink battle and he's not answering his phone!" Agent One added. "He's never been late before. If anything, he's always early."
"Well he was late a couple times by a minute or two, but an hour!? This is crazy! Not including the fact that he seems to have vanished off the face of the earth and NOBODY, not even his squad, knows where he is!"
"Maybe Octavio has him?"
"Oh my cod Ca- Agent One, don't put that image into my head! Having Cuttlefish captured is more then enough, I don't want to think that BOTH of them are in Octavio's tentacles!"
"Well let's just assume he's out of Inkopolis for a vacation."
"I'm gonna try and beleave that."
The two agents went back to Cuttlefish's shack to try and find Cuttlefish.
Two hours later with Kareshi and Iho.
The two walked throughout the fair as Iho held a plush octopus that Kareshi won for her.
They had played many games and went on every ride that didn't involve them turning into their squid and octopus forms. Both of them were having a good time and their fun wasn't showing any signs of stopping.
"Oh Tako. I'm glad you decided to come down here with me." Iho said as the two cuddled up with each other.
"Well, what ride do you want to-" The entire fair went silent as some soldiers from the Octo Valley military pulled up in their vechicles.
An Octocopter flew out of one of the jeeps. "You all have five minutes to leave the fair! Finish what ever your doing and GET! OUT!" It said as other octarians started to unpack things from the jeeps.
"What's happening!?" Kareshi asked.
"I'll explain later. But right now, I need to get home!"
"Why?"
"Because I told Octavio himself that I was lying down at home with an ice pack on my head. If he sees me, I'm gonna get blasted."
"Ok let's go."
"We got to be quick. He's going to send someone to check on me."
"Well we got to get a move on." Kareshi said before the two quietly ran to Iho's apartment.
When they got to the apartment.
"Ok, what floor do you live on?" Kareshi asked.
"The top floor." Iho explained.
Kareshi sighed. "Of course."
The two ran up the steps which where surrounded by glass. Since they where surrounded in glass, they saw another military vechicle stop in front of the building and an elite octoling with an octopus symbol on her chestplate stepped out. "Oh no! She's here!" Iho panicked.
"Who!?" Kareshi asked as the octoling entered the building.
"The woman who's here to check on me. We're at the forth floor, just two more to go, hurry!"
Once they got to the sixth floor, Kareshi followed Iho to a door that read: 610.
As Iho pulled out her keys, they heard the sound of the octoling coming up the stairs.
Just as Iho was about to put the keys in the door, she dropped them. "Shoot!"
The octoling reached their floor, just as they got inside and shut the door.
"The ice pack is in the freezer! Bring it in to me while I hide the octopus!" Iho said.
Just as Kareshi passed her the ice pack, the octoling knocked on the door so hard that it could be mistaken as gun shots.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Just a minute!" Iho called out. "Ok Tako, listen to me. Everyone in Octo Valley knows her name, so call her Shiraberu."
"Ok." Kareshi kissed her "I'll let her in."
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"I'm coming!" Kareshi said before opening the door. "Oh, hello Shiraberu."
"Who are you!?" Shiraberu boomed.
"My name is Tako."
"Look, I don't have time for this. Is Iho here!?"
"Yes, come in." Kareshi stepped to the side as Shiraberu stepped in. "She's in her room. First door on the left."
"Good... But what is your relationship with her?"
"Um... I-I'm her boyfriend."
"And are you in the military?"
Five seconds later.
Kareshi screamed as Shiraberu threw him out of Iho's apartment. "What we're discussing is top secret. Only soldiers of the Octo Valley military can know what we're talking about."
Just as Kareshi tried to crawl back in, Shiraberu slammed the door, and the knob struck him in the forehead.
As Kareshi put his hands over his face, he felt that his back tentacle felt cooler and lighter then his front tentacle.
When he looked on the floor he saw that his octoling tentacle has fallen off. He then quickly grabbed it and put it over his back tentacle. Just like it was before.
Kareshi looked to the left. No one there.
He looked to the right. And again, no one was there.
Kareshi let out the biggest sigh of relief once he realized that he had not been seen.
He then stood up as the door opened and Shiraberu stepped out and walked right past him.
Kareshi then walked into the apartment and shut the door.
Iho instantly came out and hugged him.
"Whoa, are you alright Iho?"
"Yeah, she just told me that she thinks I'm fine, and I have to go back to work TOMORROW."
Kareshi sighed. "Just when I thought I could have a week with you."
"Well, we can still have..." Iho looked at the clock. "Three hours together."
The two then walked into the bedroom and sat on the bed. "Well three hours are better then none."
They then lid down and started to cuddle.
