Yup. Chapter name says it all. I've become so desperate for a plot that I'm taking requests. Cheesus Crust, why am I doing this? Also, I'm Jewish. I don't mean that as praying, I mean that as "WTH am I doing with my life". I do not pray to "Cheesus", because that is not a very Jewish thing to do. No Kosher here! (MOTHER reference)

"How did you make not one, but TWO friends in your first MONTH in the Square?!", Four's younger brother, Levi, asked her.

"Because we met," she explained. "What else is there to say?"

"Why are they both boys?"

"Because they happen to use he/him pronouns. I literally see no reason for you to ask this question."

"Are you DATING? Oooooooooo.."

Twelve-year-olds. Uhg. Middle schoolers take every opportunity they get to make fun of you. Guess I better call Cool Cat to stop the bullying.

"Why would we be dating? We're just friends."

"Are you sure about that?", Levi asked, raising his eyebrow tentacles. "MOM! DAD! ASHIRA HAS A BOYFRIEND!"

Ink rushed to her head. "Lev, stop."

It was too late.

"Oh, that's great, squiddo!"

"What's he like?"

"You never told me this!"

"That's because I don't!"

"Hey," said her mom. "No yelling. Can you at least tell me why your brother's saying this?"

"Because I have friends who happen to be the opposite gender.."

"Oh, Ash! That's great! When I first started dating-"

"Oh look the current ranked mode's Clam Blitz! You know me and my brush are good at that sorry, gotta go, bye."

Four got out her phone. It was buzzing like there was some sort of text message. She checked the messages one at a time. Oh. It was all on the NSS chat room Marina created.

Marie: Unfortunately, Callie and I have something sad to share.

Pearl: If it's another weird childhood story, #$% you!

Marina: Pearlie be nice. This is like the time you tried to dodge rool off of Moray Towers at midnight and fell of, so you started getting angry at your teammates.

Callie: erlgiheroufek,jcfnrkfbvvb hfnvjfbvrbvkre rufhrubrqaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

Callie: Sorry I think I fell on my phone.

Callie: While crying.

Callie: plz forgive me

Marie: as I was saying, there was a tragedy that occured this morning.

Pearl: WHO DIED

Marina: oh god no

*Agent 3 logs on*

Three: So, who is this?

Pearl: yo, 3, that you?

Three: 3? What was Toby doing…

Pearl: So… You're clearly not 3

Three: I dunno who this "three" person is, but this is my brother's phone. I'm Jay. I am the brother of this phone's owner, and I want to see why he's always texting.

Pearl: squit

*Agent 8 logs on*

Eight: Hi Toby :)

Three's Brother: Wait, who is "Owen-Octo-8"? Why is this Owen person trying to talk to my brother? DO YOU KNOW HIM?!

Eight: Oh, is this Jay? Hi! Toby's told me about you! You're his younger twin, right? Meeting you is a pleasure, so hello!

Three's brother: TOBY HAS FRIENDS?!

And then Four logged on, after reading the messages.

Four: So, I see you have your brother's phone, eh?

Three's brother: Yes. Who are you, Manga_Lover_4

Four: Another friend. Of your brother's. Hey.

Three's brother: Ooooh, so he has TWO friends? I didn't know he had any!

*Callie and Marie log off*

Three's brother: who are secretagentrainbow1 and Slv3r_TIDE[2] and why did they just leave?

*a minute or so later*

Three: Sorry, Jay took my phone. I'm back.

Eight: Hello Toby

Three: Hey.

*Callie and Marie log back on*

Marie: Look, I know this may sound odd, but is everyone free right now?

Three: ye

Eight: Yes.

Pearl: e

Marina: she means yes, and I am also available.

Four: Cod, I hope I'm available. I'll go anyways.

Marie: Cool.

Callie: We'll see you at Cut

Four: Cut?! WHAT IS CUT?!

Callie: I accidentally hit "send". I meant tho say Cuttlefish Cabin.

Four: Oooooooh okey.

Four turned her phone off and headed to the top secret manhole! Or, whatever it;s called. THE PLACE YOU GO TO ENTER OCTO CANYON. THERRRRE. When she got to the Square, Three and Eight were both about to enter the same time as her.

"Hey guys," she politely greeted.

"Don't talk, Toby's in another mood swing," Eight greeted back.

Four looked at Eight and voiced "okay", while nodding. Kids these days, am I right? The three friends all turned into cephalopods and splashed into the manhole. When they got there, all of the idols were wearing all black and changed the tips of their tentacles also to black. They were holding candles and their eyes were closed. Cap'n Cuttlefish was with them, also wearing black. Octavio's snow globe was painted black, too. It was obvious that someone had died.

"W-what happened?", Eight asked, trembling.

"It's Sheldon," Marie whispered. "He was murdered."

Author's Note: As the chapter name suggests, there was a request in here. FireMaster0730, a great fan, wanted me to put in their OC, Jay. Also, while I work on this fic, I'm also working on my very own RPG! I make all of the story, art, music, AND programing, so it needs a lot of work. I also run a Discord with all of the VCs and editors. I'm a little busy, and might take a while to make new chapters, due to it. Sorry (D:)
