It has been three weeks since the end of the war and the Octolings hunted down every glasses and goggles and destroyed them and they've started rebuilding their home. The gang were all sitting outside a cafe and enjoying their day, "so how did you break your arm again?" Nonbiri wondered, "um... Skating accident," Bruce answered, "how? you fell off a fifty story ramp?" Cooper jumped in, "got hit by a truck. Then I asked the driver if his truck's O.K," Bruce added. The couple buys into the lie and just moved on to a different topic, "man it's so weird seeing Octolings walking around and not trying to kill us," Marlon commented now seeing more Octolings present and co-existing with Inklings.

"Oh, will just get used it in a while," said Alice, just shrugging it off, "so Bruce how much longer do you have to wear that cast?" Evie asked, Bruce had casts on his right wrist and left shin, but they were removed and the only his left wrist was still in a cast. "Just another week and I'm all good," Bruce answered, "so if I give it a little tap," Cooper suggested rising his fist, but then Bruce pulled out a pistol, "AH! Cooper. I will end you," Bruce warned him. Cooper backed off, "but it wouldn't be as worse as the first week I was put in a cast," Bruce mentioned

Two Weeks Earlier

Bruce's bed was moved to the living room the doctor had placed a cast on his right wrist, his left shin, and his full left arm, Bruce was watching the news seeing that the Octolings were now happy and free, "man I might be in pain, but seeing that many people happy was worth it," Bruce told himself. "Alright Bruce, Eight has volunteered to look out for you while you're recovering," Marie informed, Eight was greatful for Bruce wanting to free all of her people and wanted to thank him by taking care of him while he recovers form his injuries.

"Got it," he replied and Marie left the two alone, "thanks Eight I really appreciate this," Bruce thanked the Octoling which was bring him his meal, a bowl of hot soup. She then trips, the bowl flies through the air and lands on Bruce, "AAH! END THE FLASHBACK! END THE FLASHBACK!" he cried.

End Of Flashback

Bruce then picked out another tooth, "gross! Bruce why are pulling out your own teeth?" Marlon asked cringing at the sight. Bruce held the tringular tooth between his fingers and then flicked it, a second later the gang heard someone yelped in pain.

"Oh hoo! that's gnarly," Nonbiri commented, "man you nailed him," Cooper commented, "yeah I still have some loose teeth, from that accident," Bruce informed them, "don't you need to get that back?" Alice asked. "Oh don't worry about it, I have dozens more ready to take the others' place," Bruce told them and within a second a new tooth popped into place, "cooooool," everyone commented.

"Alright guys me and Coop have somewhere special to be," Nonbiri told them, while snuggling up to her boyfriend, "have fun you two," Bruce told them as the couple left, "alright now that they're gone are we gonna talk about that you might get recognised Bruce?" Marlon prompted. Everyone turn their heads to Bruce's direction, "relax my aunts were super famous pop stars when they got recuited," Bruce assured them, "wait, super famous pop stars?" Alice repeated. Bruce face palmed himself, "they've told ya this already, they were the Squid Sisters," Bruce reminded.

"Again who are they?" Ray asked, "are you serious? you have the freak'n internet in your pants pocket dammit," Bruce told them, Marlon looked up the Squid Sisters up and now he remembers who Callie and Marie were. Marlon's eyes popped wide open seeing the picture of the two cousins when they were running the news station, "wait! your aunts were THEE Squid Sisters? as in the "stay fresh" girls?" Marlon asked all surprised. Bruce takes the phone from Marlon's hand and sees the photo, "yup, that's them," Bruce confirmed, and the rest of the gang took a look at the phone. "wow your aunts are ho-" Bruce pulls out his pistol and aims it at Ray's forehead, "finish that sentence, I dare ya Ray," Bruce threaten, "O.K, O.K just calm down," Bruce then puts away his pistol and then out of nowhere someone handed the gang a flier.

"Come to the music festival," the Squid-girl said trying to promote the event, "the Off the Hook girls: Pearl and Marina will be hosting the events, all of your favorite bands will be there," she proclaimed. The gang examined the flier in their hands and what they've read peeked their interest, "wow, look at all these bands," Evie said, "we have to go," said Alice, getting all excited, "I don't know guys, these tickets seem pretty pricey," Marlon noted and he's right. The tickets to get in the were insane and Inklings didn't have the money, "where are we gonna get that cash?" Ray asked, everyone thought for a moment and then Alice looked up to a build board.

There it said that a radio station was giving away tickets to the festival, and Alice read that all they have to do is answer a question at 11:00 A.M. Alive check her phone and saw that it was one minute away. Alice scrambled to unlock her phone and set it to the number on the build board, "Alice what're you doing?" Evie asked, but Alice shushed her, everyone just stared at Alice until they heard the person on the other end of the line. "Hello lucky caller," the man on the other end said, "you've been given the chance to win yourself and your friends tickets to the music festival all you have to do is answer this question correctly and they're all yours," he stated.

Bruce can hear the call loud and clear, "here's your question: the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie traveled all over the globe, but where are they originally from?" Alice was stumped, "the clock is ticking," the man said. Getting impatient Bruce snatched the phone from Alice and held it up to his ear, "they're from Calamari County," Bruce answered, "that's correct, you've just won yourself four tickets to the festival." The gang all cheered for joy and thanked Bruce for giving the answer, but then they stopped realizing they're a titcket short, "wait, they're five of us," Evie stated.

Everyone looked around seeing that one person is going to have to stay behind, "you know what, you guys go on without me," Bruce offered surprising his friends, "what? don't you wanna come?" Ray asked. "yeah, you won the tickets," Evie provided, Bruce gave a soft smile and said, "it's O.K guys I'm alright with this, just go on to the festival, have fun," Bruce reassured his friends. However Bruce's phone rang out, "hello?" "Hey Bruce," Callie spoke, "Aunt Callie? what's up?" "oh nothing it's just me and your Aunt Marie are going to the music festival," Callie informed him. "What? you got tickets?" Bruce spoke surprisingly, "yup, Pearl and Marina invited us, and we've told them you have quite the collection, so they asked if you can come too," Callie informed.

Bruce could not believe the luck he just received, "so what you're saying is I get to share some of my music collection to the city?" Bruce asked making sure, "yes dumb dumb," Callie answered, "hey!" "just be there, bye, love you." Callie then hangs up leaving Bruce a bit surprised, "well good news guys I've been invited to the festival," Bruce announced and they were all relieved, "that's awesome, now we can all go," Alice proclaimed, "yeah, but I might gonna need your help," Bruce said. Everyone was confused and so Bruce explained, "I've been invited, but they asked to bring my music collection," and now the group seems to get it, "oh, so you need help to bring them in?" Marlon asked to make sure, "that's corrected," Bruce confirmed, "so you guys get your tickets and I'll get my shit ready," Bruce added and the gang split.

Hours later

It was the after noon, but there were still plenty of sunlight before the sun turns in for the night, Alice and the others had claimed the tickets, and they have rejoined Bruce by the sewer cover he told them to meet him. When Arriving the group found Bruce with a few boxes with his records and some equipment he had to play them in, "you guys ready?" Bruce asked picking a stack of boxes, "we got them right here," Ray showed the tickets in his hands, "good let's go." The boys carried the boxes with the equipment and the girls carried the boxes with the records and headed straight to the music festival.

There they arrived at the back to check in all of Bruce's things to be part of the festival, they gave him a booth for him to set up, Bruce thought this might go well for the festival took place in the city's plaza instead of a freak'n DESERT! "So Bruce what did you bring?" Marlon asked going through the records, "Well I didn't bring all of them, becaused some might be a bit intense for the people here," Bruce explained, "I brought a projector screen to show the band playing the songs," he add. "Awe man I can't wait to see the looks on everybodys' faces when they see who's playing," Alice spoke out in glee and then Pearl and Marina showed up.

"Bruce, glad you could make it," Pearl greeted, "yeah, your aunts told us you have a pretty unique collection," said Marina, "true, wanna hear one?" Bruce offered and the two pop stars nodded. Bruce took out a tablet about the size of a clipboard, and pressed on the track, the screen turned on showing a video of a man in a white with long dark hair on stage, it started out with an electric keyboard sounding playful, then drops down with drums, followed up with guitars, and then a combination of the three.

"This is your time to pay"

"This is your judgement day"

"We made a sacrifice"

"And now we get to take your life"

Everyone was drawn into what they saw on the screen of who's playing the song, a human, there was the singer, two guitarists, a bass, piano, and drum player, playing at a concert with a roaring crowd. Pearl and Marina couldn't believe their eyes, "are those humans?" Marina asked, "it is and they rock," Pearl replied and they continued to listen to the rest of the song.

"We shoot without a gun"

"We'll take on anyone"

It's really nothing new"

"It's just a thing we like to do"

As the song ended the screen went to black singaling that it's over for now, "that was awesome," Marina cheered, "where did you get these?" Pearl asked curiously, "I have my ways," Bruce answered, "but anyway I actually like to play these ones for ya, I think you'll love these guys," Bruce added. Bruce tapped on the pad again and the machine played a different genre, it starts out with a smooth and easy beat and begins building up on that. The screen then displayed two male figures standing behind which Marina recognised it as a turntable, but the one on the screen is twice as big as hers.

The two figures were undoubtedly humans, but they both wore nice and expensive looking suits, and had these strange helmets, one was gold and was shorter than the other one who's helmet was silver, and they only used one word for the entire song which was "around the world". Everyone kinda admitted that it was strange just for the song only to say one line repeatedly, but they loved the beat and rhythm the song is giving and started moving to the beat. After the song was done the Squid Sisters arrived, "I see everything is off to a good start," Marie commented, "I knew he'll start off with that guy with a sweaty shirt," said Callie talking about the first track Bruce played. "You've made it," Marina cheered, "we wouldn't miss it for the world," Marie said, "Awesome, now that everyone is here I get to play my favorite song," Bruce cheered.

"WHAT! NO! NO! NOOO! NOT THAT SONG!" Marie shouted, but she was too late Bruce tapped on his pad and the track was playing "Every Cuss Word We Know" and Bruce started laughing as the lyrics rang throughout the festival.
