Redd has gained some support throughout some friends in Inkopolis, and they all wish him luck. But of course, there is still one thing he needs to do. You see, Redd now knew of the truth, but not Marina. So Redd had to tell her what truly happened.

Luckily, the Off the Hook girls apartment wasn't far away, despite the two being just as popular as the Squid Sisters, they got enough privacy before the paparazzi would show up. Now... it is time. Redd had to tell Marina what happened between him and Marie.

Knock knock

A few seconds later, Pearl answers the door.

"Oh. It's you." Pearl said a little rudely. Like Marina said to him before, Pearl doesn't like the Squid Bits one bit.

"Hi, Pearlie. Good to see you." Redd greeted.

"Do not call me that! Only Marina calls me that name!" Pearl snapped.

"Sorry, I didn't know." Redd said, putting both his hands up, not wanting any trouble.

"Ugh, anyway, what do you want?" Pearl asked.

"Is Marina here? I want to talk to her." Redd replied.

"Yeah, whatever. Give me a second." Pearl said. She turns round and steps forward a few paces.

"YO, MARINA! It's for you!" Pearl shouted, then leaves. A few seconds later, Marina shows up.

"Oh, hi, Redd. Howzit going?" Marina greeted.

"Can I talk for a little bit? There's something I need to tell you." Redd replied.

"Sure. What is it?" Marina asked.

"Well, remember when we watched the Jumanji remake yesterday?" Redd asked.

"Yeah. It was the best movie we watched, am I right?" Marina said with a chuckle.

"It was good, definitely." Redd said, laughing a little. Then he gets serious again.

"We're getting off topic. There's something I figured out after we did this."

"What is it?"

"You know how Marie and I are in a relationship?" Redd asked.

"Well, I did hear news." Marina responded.

"Well, she has been seeing us watch a bit of the movie. When I came up to her later, she began to think that I was cheating on her." Redd explained. Marina gasps.

"Why would she think that?" She asked surprised.

"Well, she assumed that I love you more than her." Redd said.

"Well, that will not happen. You and I are just friends." Marina said, crossing her arms.

"Yeah, I know. I had no crush on you whatsoever." Redd said, agreeing.

"Then again, I can see why Marie would think that." Marina replied.

"But anyway, Marina... she also blamed me because you touched me on my nose and I held you hand. Why was that exactly?"

"I touched you on the nose because I'm just being a bit playful, and teasing you just a tiny bit. The reason for holding hands... well, it was just a little jump scare that I wasn't expecting."

"So it's all good?"

"Yeah, we're good."

The two handshake it out.

"Anyway, I'll see you later, Marina." Redd said waving.

"No problem! I hope things with you and Marie go well, too!" Marina cheered.

"Alright, see ya!" Redd said, then leaves. Only one way to find out for sure.

Redd once again asked Callie where Marie was, and she told him that Marie is at Blackbelly Skatepark. So, he went there immediately. He gets there, and finally sees Marie. He also gets surprised because she was wearing the pretty green dress that she wore for their first date. Redd could tell that Marie misses him, despite her not wanting to admit.

"Sigh... at least I'll still remember the fun times." Marie said to herself, he adorable smile on her face. Redd slowly approached her.

"Hi, Marie." Redd greeted. Marie's face turned angry again as she faced him.

"What do you want? Haven't you insulted me enough already?" Marie snapped.

"I'm just here to talk. Could you... scoot over a little?" Redd asked.

"Ugh... fine." Marie scoffed. She moves a little to her right so Redd can sit next to her, which he happily obliged.

"Now, listen, Marie... I just want to talk to you a bit about what happened yesterday." Redd said.

"I know what happened. You cheated on me like the stupid squidiot you are." Marie said rudely. But Redd didn't mind the harsh words.

"Marie... there's a little more than that." Redd replied. Marie raised an eyebrow.

"What the squid are you talking about?" She asked.

"You see, me and Marina... we're not in a relationship. We're just friends." Redd admitted. Marie was surprised. She remembered the argument with him yesterday, she didn't give the guy a chance to talk, because she was too furious.

"Well... why did she touch you on the nose? Why did she hold you hand? Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Marie asked.

"Marina touched me on the nose because she likes to tease. She held my hand because of a little jump scare we didn't expect. And no, I would never lie to you, Marie. I'm being absolutely honest." Redd said, answering all the questions.

"So... all that is... true?" Marie asked quietly.

"Yes." Redd replied.

"Do... do you still love me?" Marie asked, blushing a little. Redd gently puts his hand on Marie's hair.

"Of course I do. Nothing will stop me from that, Marie." Redd said with a smile.

"Redd, I... I..." Marie stuttered. She gets a little teary-eyed again, but prevents herself from bursting into tears. And out of no circumstances to Redd, Marie hugs him tightly.

"Can things go back to the way they were?" She begged.

"Yes. Let's start from here." Redd said, returning the hug. They break the hug after a few more seconds.

"There's one last gift I want to give to you, Marie." Redd said. Marie wipes the tears off her eyes.

"I think I know what you mean." Marie said with a smirk. She leans over closer to the red Inkling boy.

"Let's cherish this moment forever." She said quietly.

"Don't hold back now." Redd teased. And soon, the two leaned over and...

They kissed on the lips, and their hands move around their bodies as they keep their first kiss going, it was a first new feeling for the both of them. Marie was tempted to slide her tongue into Redd's mouth, but she decided to save that for future time. After a few more seconds, they stop their kiss and immediately blush.

"Not too shabby, right?" Redd teased.

"Oh, shut up." Marie said playfully. They stand up, happy they are together again.

"By the way... would you like to go to Jels? My treat." Redd asked. Marie smiled.

"I would love to." Marie said. And so, the two walk off to enjoy theirselves. And so, their relationship comes back together, their broken hearts were given a second chance.
