Hello fellow Splatoon fans! Some of you may remember that I posted this story awhile back. I'm very sorry for any confusion or inconvenience. You could say that the last few months have been pretty stressful for me. College life is awesome but can be tough at times. Anyway, enjoy the story :)

"It's finally here!" I shouted as I jumped up and down in excitement.

I had just gotten an Animal Crossing version of the Nintendo Switch in the mail!

My mom put on a nervous smile. "I'm happy that you're excited Krystal, but we have neighbors, you know."

I blushed in embarrassment and said in a much softer voice, "Sorry mom. It's just that I've been waiting a long time to get this console."

My dad laughed and said, his eyes directing towards the stairs, "Well, what are you waiting for honey? Go play with it and have fun!"

I smiled brightly and gave my dad a hug with one arm since you were carrying the Switch with the other.

As soon as I entered my room, I noticed the Wii U placed right at the very center of my video game collection.

It was at that very moment, I remembered the Blue Team and... Rider.

The moment when Rider selflessly transported me back to the real world played out in my mind. I felt a tear trickle down my face.

I quickly wiped it off and began to set up the Nintendo Switch.

What I wouldn't give to see Rider, his teammates, and the Blue Team one more time... I thought as I plugged the HDMI cable to the back of the Switch.

I soon chuckled to myself and said out loud, "Of course my new Switch is out of the question."

Before I knew it, the Nintendo Switch was up and ready. I couldn't help but squeal in delight.

I soon had the controller grip in my hands. My heart was beating fast.

...

My TV presented the small but powerful Nintendo Switch intro animation.

Suddenly, the Joy-Cons began to rumble. I asked in fright, "What's going on?"

Before I had time to scream, the TV flashed a brilliant white!

I had my eyes squeezed tight. I was too afraid to open them. Suddenly, a familiar voice asked,"Krystal?"

I immediately opened my eyes. That was Rider's voice!

Without warning, I gave Rider a passionate kiss on the lips.

Rider was at first startled but eventually let his guard down and gave me a tight hug. Bobble Hat giggled and said which broke the romance in the air, "Awww, Rider you big softie!"

While Rider frowned at Bobble Hat in disapproval, Goggles gave me a loving hug. He said happily, "About time you came back Krystal!"

Rider asked in astonishment, "How is this even possible?"

Goggles rolled his eyes and said in excitement, "Who cares how she got here? She's here! Booyah!"

Headphones said with a smile, "You came at a great time Krystal. We were just on our way to the Ultra Fresh Tournament."

Specs said rather happily as he adjusted his glasses, "It's a competition to see who can defeat the King."

I smiled brightly. "You mean Rider, right?"

Rider blushed and playfully pushed me to the side.

We all laughed as we started to walk to Inkopolis Square.
