Chomp tied my legs and torso to the chair. Everyone just watched as the Octo sisters sat down. The food on the table looked really good but had absolutely no smell to it.

"You guys can sit if you want, otherwise feel free to stand." Aria replied after a long pause and everyone sat down.

"So, uh... you aren't going to murder us?" a squid wearing sunglasses asked.

"No. Not, unless you make us."

"Why? Not to be rude, but it is a little suspicious." A squid wearing a facemask pointed out.

"Well, call it a change of heart... Your friend there, he can easily relate to all of us... he knows misery and pain, probably more than we do."

"Coco's like really, really, nice!" Connie beamed at me, "Even though, we were the enemy. He saved Tillie, and cooked food, and played with me!"

"Coco?" Cuddlefish snickered as she looked over to me.

"Shut up, Cuddlefish." I growled at her.

"Oh, so you are Cuddlefish?" Connie smiled, "Okay, I'll call you Cuddly!"

"C-Cuddly?"

"So are you going to tell me who the heck are all your friends?" I asked as I shifted in my seat to get more comfy.

"Huh?" Cuddlefish looked around, "Oh! Right. This guy ove-"

"KYA HAHAHAHA! HELLLOO, I'M ACRILIC. I'm a bit... insane... hope you don't mind. KYA HAHAHAHA!" I freaked out as the purple spikey tentacle squid licked my cheek.

"NO!" The sunglasses squid shouted.

"AWWW BUT-"

"No."

"Fine." He plopped down in his chair, pouting.

"That pink squid's... uhhhh..." Cuddlefish looked over to the pink and green squid, "Aori...? And the green one is Hotaru...?"

The two looked at each other and nodded.

"Yes, I'm Aori," she smiled widely, "and this is my cousin Hotaru."

"So, I take it, you're Corol?" Hotaru asked, " Callie and Marie sent us to come save you."

"Ah, I-I see..." I answered, "good to know... and the mister?"

"Me? I'm Captain Cuttlefish. I have meda-"

"Nobody cares, captain." Nana answered, "enough, about us. You haven't properly introduced yourselves."

"Yes, of course. I'm Aria. I am in charge of running Octopia." Aria bowed.

"You're running it?!" Aori exclaimed, "That means you're like a queen!"

"Queen? Never thought of it like that..."

"Any who, I'm Jet, and this is Wave" Jet smiled, "We run ships and trade."

"Vol, charmed. I make and design clothing." Vol grinned.

"Conch, I am head of our Army and protect our cities." Conch had a serious look on her face.

"I'm Till, I'm in charge of entertainment." Till kept glaring at Cuddlefish.

"I'm Connie! I am the lead scientist and a medical doctor for Octarians." Connie bounced up and down.

"... Chomp. I work with Aria on the wellness of our people." She was quiet as ever, "Well, the foods going to get cold so..."

My friends stared at me as I began fidgeting and shaking my head. I was too late to stop Acrilic. He put it into his mouth, took it out, and put it back on to the plate.

"THIS IS SO BAD! KYA HAHAHAH!" He began cackling, "IT'S SO BAD, IT'S FUNNY! KYA HAHAHAHHAHAHHA!"

The Octoling sisters all tensed up, except for Aria.

"How dare you!" Octavio replied.

"What. Was. that?" Chomp stood up abruptly. The atmosphere felt dangerous and tense.

"IT SUCKED." Acrilic retorted back.

He dodged a barrage of shots fired by Chomp. Everyone else took cover, except for me. I couldn't physically move from my chair. Chomp charged at Acrilic as he whipped out his roller. He deflected her attack and pushed her back. She flipped and landed on the wall. She sprang of the wall and charged at him again. He prepared for an attack, but she passed over his head. She disappeared into her ink. Her fin sliced through the ground as she leaped at him, just like a great white attacking its prey. He caught her by her neck. She suddenly smirked as ink shot out of the teeth of her hoodie. He released her as he stumbled back. She disappeared in her ink once again and charged at him once again. He recovered just in time and deflected her attack.

"CLEVER... BUT NOT CLEVER ENOUGH! KYA HAHAHAHAHA!" he splashed ink at her and sent a shockwave out.

Chomp dove into her ink. Her hoodie sparked as she resurfaced. She simply shook the ink off.

"Electricity has no effect on me." she clicked her octoshots.

"WELL, YOUR FOOD HAS A HORRIBLE EFFECT ON ME! BLECH!" he mocked her.

She dove into her ink and swam up the wall. Acrilic rolled after her. He would splash ink and she would jump out, firing ink, and swim along the other wall. Acrilic suddenly flashed as he and Chomp clashed. He turned into a huge squid with webbed tentacles. He wrapped Chomp as his body sparked up brightly. It was like a fight between a Giant Webbed Squid and a Great White shark. Chomp thrashed around as he tried to engulf her. Connie ran over and jumped and hugged Acrilic.

"NO STOP! YOU'LL HURT EACH OTHER!" She cried as she hung on to him.

Acrilic and Chomp stopped fighting. Acrilic crawled off of her, and Chomp sat up.

"Fine, I will stop... only because you are cute..." Connie jumped down and hugged his face, "Okay, stop it. Chomp was it? That was fun. Let's fight again."

Chomp raised her eyebrow as he held out one of his tentacles. She took it and he pulled her to her feet.

"Sure." She turned away.

Connie lifted up Acrilic's tentacle and crawled under him. He changed back holding Connie by her shirt with his teeth.

"Heheh. He has squishy spikes." Connie giggled as he handed her to Chomp.

"You're small, but very troublesome aren't you?" He scratched his head.

"Well, you're not all that scary when I get to know you..."

"Heh, that was she says all the time..."

"Who's she?"

"Pastelli... can you at least tell me, if you know that name?"

"...No... I have not I am sorry..."

"Oh, I see..."

"Oh dear, Corol are you okay?" Nana untied me.

"I'm fine, but a little shaken up." I replied.

I tensed up when Chomp put her hand on my shoulder. I slowly turned around. She just looked at me. She sighed and then took a deep breath.

"Could you teach me how to cook?" she finally asked fidgeting around.

"Huh?"

"Teach. Me. How. To. Cook."

"SURE! OKAY! DON'T HURT ME!"

She just patted my shoulder and walked away. Connie leaped into my arms.

"ME TOO! ME TOO!" she hugged me. "I want to cook too!"

"Okay, I guess I could..."

"Hey, what happened to that green Octoling?" Cuddlefish asked, "she disappeared ever since we arrived."

"Oh, her? You'll see her tomorrow. She's gone back to the lab." Connie answered, "It's pretty late now. We set up extra rooms in our ship, so please feel free to rest up. Tomorrow's going to be a fun day!"

"Welp, see you squids tomorrow then. Night!" Jet yawned as she walked away.

Her sisters soon followed returning to their respected rooms. We all just stared at each other.

"Corol, what did you do to them?" Cuddlefish asked.

"What?! I didn't do anything. I don't really understand it, but I just woke up one day and they were all hugging me. They must have heard my aunt's lullaby..."

"No, that's not why..." Till's voice came from behind us, "your aunt's device isn't an audio recorder, Corol. It's an Octarian Video recorder."

"It's a what?" Here, I'll show you." She took my hand and pulled me.

Everyone else just followed. They enter the lab and Till plugged it into the computer. Files popped up on the screen. She clicked on one, and it started up. There was a baby Cerulean blue squid falling asleep.

"Is that... me?" I walked closer.

"Corol, you have a new friend coming over to day. Isn't that great?" an elderly cheerfully asked.

The camera was placed down and the baby squid was on top of an elderly octoling's head. The Octoling put on a ring and she changed into an inkling. The doorbell rang and two inklings entered holding another baby squid, a light green-bluish one with a small bow on its head.

"Marina, Rey! Hey, how are you?" the Octoling greeted.

"Good, Good, I see Corol's fallen asleep on your head." Rey laughed as he placed the small light green squid on the couch.

"Oh, oh dear. Corol, you can't sleep yet, dear. Come say hello to your new friend, Cuddlefish." She placed the squid next to the other one.

Little me was still groggy, but little Cuddlefish instantly nipped my fin. I tried to swim away, but then I just nipped at her fin.

"Oh, Corol. That isn't how you treat friends, dear. Heheh, you silly squids." The octoling gently pulled us apart.

Little me swam up on to her head. Cuddlefish followed me up. I curled up and fell asleep on her head. Cuddlefish swam closer and nibbled at my fin again. This time, little Cuddlefish and me, ended up, falling asleep next to each other.

"Oh, they fell asleep. Heheh. Oh, let me just get you some tea" She turned off the camera.

The video ended, and I clicked on the very first one. I stayed up watching every single one. I must have nearly lost all of my moisture from all the tears. My auntie was Octarian, but she showed me that, she and my mother loved me. All she lived for was to prove to me that everyone should a chance. This made me even more determined to keep her promise even more.

-Author's Note-

Okay so there is something I need your help with. I need to come up with questions for Takko and Akkie's Q&A session. So do you guys have any questions for them? I don't care if they are awkward questions. Just don't be a jerk. I'll try to add all of your questions if I can. If you do you can either put it in the review or in a PM. Do mention which one if you are directly asking one of them.

Oh by the way, Nana's outline is up on devianart. I'll color it when I have more time. Any more requests let me know.

Anyways, do I need to fix anything? or How is it so far? As always, thanks for reading!
