I walked up to the table consisting of Pearl, Marina, and Agent 8. When Pearl saw me, she immediately starting yelling at me about being late.

"Let me guess," Marina started. "You ended up walking in circles for about 10 minutes because you forget where to go."

"Yeah... whoops." I stated.

"So,"Pearl said. "Where's 4?"

"He said he was in the middle of something and would catch up with us later." I responded.

I then sat my gaze onto the Octo girl.

She was still wearing her leather crop top and a leather skirt. Her eyes were a deep shade of blue. I hadn't noticed how beautiful they were before. "Kinda cute..." I thought. She then looked up and caught me staring at her. She blushed a little bit, looked away for a second, and then smiled. It put a smile on my face too.

"I never did get your name..." I said.

"Oh!' Marina said. "8's real name is Bridgette."

"My name is Lucas." I responded. "Nice to officially meet you!"

I stuck out my hand for a handshake, and she flinched.

"Woah.." I mumbled. "A little jumpy, are we?"

She thought for a moment and then returned the handshake.

We all then sat down and ate lunch, sharing some stories and catching up with each other. They told me all about the deep sea metro.

"She doesn't talk much, does she" I said.

"No," Marina said. "She hasn't said a single word to us since we've met her. We don't really mind, though. It fits her personality."

I gave 8 a quick glance, and then looked back.

"Ok." I said. I wasn't going to question it. "So," I started. "Have you figured out where she's going to be staying?

"Well, Pearl and I would ask if she could stay with us," Marina said.

"But I don't think my parents would be okay if I invited someone else to live with us, especially since Marina already lives in our house full time." Pearl finished.

"So," Marina said. "We were hoping maybe she could stay with you?"
