Chapter 11: Oh Yes, Splatfest!

The day has come, many inklings eagerly awaited this day for the past week. It is Splatfest, Winter VS Summer The sky was suddenly covered in darkness and stars and the news came on the TV. "Quickly! Turn the TV on!" Swoosie said in excitement grabbing Willie and getting onto the couch. Annie slowly came over with Moe on the couch and turned the TV on.

"It is SPLATFEST!" Callie said in excitement. "From today to tomorrow it is 24 hours of pure Splatfest fun." she added. "If you haven't picked a team pick on now at the Pledge Box!" Marie said and then the news exited. Swoosie got up and peered outside and gasped in awe as the Squid sisters started their performance dancing and singing their hit single 'City of Colors'. Swoosie grabbed Willies hand and peered out of the window taking in all the new sights of a Splatfest. Then Swoosie goes back for the TV excitedly watching inklings battle. The Winter team's color was a light blue and the Summer's color was a orange yellow color. "WOW!" Swoosie said. "The turf wars look like so much fun!" She said experiencing it for the first time. Willie laughed under her breath. "Yeah they were pretty cool, I must admit I do miss being in them." She admitted. Swoosie giggled, "I would love to see you in a turf war!" She looked at Willie, "But with your sight of course so you could see" she added. Willie laughed. "Me too!" Swoosie glanced out of the window and saw a quick shadow rise up back to the sky. "I just saw a shadow in the window..." Swoosie said concerned. Willie turned over to the window. "I bet it's nothing." She turned back towards Swoosie. "I'm pretty tired I'm going to take a nap; maybe after that you can take me outside to the plaza." she suggested. "Yeah I'd love that!" she said excitedly. Willie reached her arms out to Swoosie and fell asleep laying on Swoosie, her head nuzzles comfortably in Swoosie's shoulder and passed out on her. Swoosie couldn't help but feel her face heat up, she placed her hand on top of Willies and dozed off too. Then in her sleep she realized something. Swoosie realized she loved Willie and she couldn't think of anybody else to spend the rest of her life with. Willie is just so cute to her too, the color of her hair, the way her eyes look, her sleek figure and the way she speaks; Swoosie loved all of it. She realized that if she was really to love Willie she would have to tell her, as soon as possible, at the right moment.

Swoosie woke up excitedly too go to the concert. She woke up and Willie was sitting up next to her leaning back against the couch. "Are you awake?" Willie asked. Swoosie yawned and stretched her arms. "Yeah just about!" she said still a bit tired. "Alright I'm ready whenever you are." Swoosie got up and made some toast and then spread some butter on it and gave one to Willie, "We might as well eat before we go!" She said with a slight giggle and started to eat her toast quickly. "Wow you seem really excited over Splatfest Swoosie, you're so happy today!" Willie commented. Swoosie laughed a bit "Yeah I guess so, I'm sorry I've just never been to one before," "No no don't be sorry," Willie said, "I was only observing!". Swoosie took her by the hand, "Come on we have a concert to see."

The two made their way outside and Swoosie ran into the plaza, dragging Willie with her. Swoosie looked around in excitement. "Wow!" She remarked. Swoosie held Willies other hand which caught her off guard. Willie turned over to Swoosie. The sisters sang in the background and around the two were chatter of many people but to Swoosie it felt like silence but the only thing she could hear was Willie. "The stars are very pretty today, they looks so cool." Swoosie said looking up towards the sky. "Yeah, the sky is pretty cool while its Splatfest." Willie noted. "But the stars aren't pretty as your face." Willie gasped a little and blushed. "Was that supposed to be a pick up line?" Willie giggled. "Y-Yeah," Swoosie nervously giggled. "Don't worry it worked" Willie went in closer to Swoosie. "I can't see you but you seem pretty cute too." She giggled. Swoosie blushed and giggled back. The peace around them was broken when Swoosie noticed an inkling walking up to them. She turned over to the inkling. He had pink hair and his mouth was covered with a red bandanna. His eyes were a stinging brown and he wore long sleeved clothing and boots. He seemed so familiar but Swoosie couldn't really pin him down to anybody she knew. "Hey uh Willie... I think your friend with the pink hair is coming towards us." Swoosie said nervously, "P-Pink hair?" She questioned stepping in front of Swoosie, "That's not good-" Willie said. Suddenly she was pushed over. "T-Tripp is that you?" "WILLIE HE-" Swoosie said as she was suddenly muted. Her voice was muffled as it was covered by a hand. "Oh Willie~" a voice said, "Soon we will be back together; just like in the old days.". The voice laughed. "Tripp? What the hell?!" She asked. "And just like we promised we would defeat all of the enemies that we encountered." It said getting quieter and quieter, she could hear footsteps walking away along with a muffled voice. "SWOOSIE!" she yelled out.
