Gamelover41592: Thanks. I had fun writing it.

Matt (Guest): It was meant to be her singing voice.

Okay, so we are near the start of the first game. The Squid Sisters have formed and are getting ready to start their second job. Sammy is 15 and Callie and Marie are 17. Also, if you don't know what the Squid Sisters outfits look like, look them up because I have no idea how to describe them. Let's get started.

"Today's the day!" Callie sang as she jumped out of bed. Sammy smiled a little as she opened her eyes. About a year prior, the girls had moved into an apartment in Inkopolis. They all loved their home in Calamari County, but they wanted to see if they could make it big in the city. For a while, things were slow, with Callie and Marie's job at Walleye Warehouse providing money as well as the girls' days in Turf Wars providing the income. Sammy, however, wasn't able to do either. She was too young for a part time job and couldn't do Turf War by virtue of not being an Inkling(the second one was worse because Sammy could use weapons. Cap'n Cuttlefish insisted on training her too). As such, she had been very bored. A stroke of luck came when a higher up in the music industry approached them one day. As it turned out, he had been in the audience during the Folk Contest on that fateful day. He would have approached them right then and there, but he wasn't comfortable with forcing children into a life of fame at such a young age. While Marie had her doubts about the whole thing, the Squid Sisters had shot into stardom almost overnight. So much so, that the city wanted them to do the news.

"Callie, we don't have to be in the studio for another three hours," Marie groaned. She was not a morning person whatsoever.

"But I'm so excited!" Callie squealed.

"Could you be excited more quietly?" Marie asked. Sammy giggled.

"Great way to start the morning," Sammy said as she stretched before standing up.

"It would be even greater if you made us those pancakes we like!" Callie said quickly.

"Coming right up," Sammy said as she made her way into the kitchen.

"Glad to see our new newscasters are here!" The lead inkling said once the sisters arrived in the news studio. All three were dressed in nearly matching outfits, only with a different color. Magenta for Callie, green for Marie and red for Sammy.

"We are ready!" Sammy said with pride, even if she was a little nervous. She had figured out she got stage fright, but whenever she was on stage with her sisters, she could handle it. At least with them, she had people she knew wouldn't laugh at her.

"So what do we need to do?" Marie asked.

"Follow me," The lead inkling said. He led the girls into an area with a large TV behind them and a teleprompter in front.

"Ooo! What's the TV for?" Callie asked.

"For the stage reveals," The inkling replied. "Your main job is to reveal to everyone what the current stage line up is. And if possible, give some banter or tips about the stage. You don't have to read exactly what the teleprompter says."

"Banter we can do," Sammy said. Callie and Marie gave her a look, but said nothing.

"Great! After all, you are the most popular singing group in Inkopolis," The Inkling said. "You are on in ten minutes," With that, he walked off.

"I can't believe this is happening!" Callie gushed again.

"I just hope we don't screw up," Sammy said nervously.

"Relax, Sam," Marie said as she put a hand on her shoulder. "We are gonna do great,"

"Also, I never realized how fresh your hair looked!" Callie said.

"R-r-really?" Sammy said. Her waist length hair had the ends dyed red that would change color if she wanted to support a team. She had chosen her color in order to match her sisters' tips.

"Yeah, you should totally have them stay that way!" Callie said.

"Huh, Stay Fresh," Sammy noted.

"I kinda like that," Marie said.

"I do too!" Callie added in.

"What if we added that to the end of the show? Like as a sign off?" Sammy offered. "We could do a little pose to go with it too,"

"I could go for that," Marie said with a smile.

"Yeah, it could be fun!" Callie agreed.

"Get ready you three!" The cameraman said. Callie went to the left of the TV, Marie went to the right, and Sammy knelt down towards the middle.

"Let's do this," Callie said.

"Ready when you are," Marie promised.

"I'm ready," Sammy said as she smiled.

"And...ROLLING!" The cameraman said.

"Hold on to your tentacles!" Callie began.

"Or any other limbs you may have!" Sammy added in.

"It's Inkopolis News time!" Marie finished.

"Let's reveal the current regular battle stages," Sammy said. The first stage popped up, Urchin Underpass.

"Daah... I think securing the central area here is key?" Callie offered.

"I'd stage my attack from some of those side alleys..." Marie fired back.

"Maybe don't give away your strategies to everyone?" Sammy pointed out. After that, the second stage popped up. It was Walleye Warehouse.

"We used to work here! Remember those uniforms?" Callie asked.

"Yeah, I burned mine after I quit." Marie replied.

"I just remember being bored out of my mind when you two were working," Sammy added in with the roll of her eyes. "And now, the current ranked battle stages," The first one to pop up was Blackbelly Skatepark.

"I'm bad at skateboarding... I'd probably break a bone!" Callie groaned.

"Squids don't have bones, but whatever..." Marie pointed out.

"Besides, if anyone would break a bone, it would be me!" Sammy added in. The next stage to pop up was Arowana Mall.

"Omigosh! Look, Marie! That outfit is adorrrrbs!" Callie gushed as she caught a glimpse of one of the outfits in one of the mall's windows.

"That reminds me: don't window-shop during battle." Marie said quickly.

"Unless you want to get splatted, save the shopping for after this stage is out of the rotation!" Sammy added in. She dropped up afterwards.

"Until next time…" Callie began.

"Staaaay fresh!" All three girls said as they made the same pose.

"And...cut!" The cameraman said as she the head inkling walked back in.

"So how did we do?" Callie asked.

"Amazing!" He gushed. "You did everything right and I loved the ending! You should keep that!"

"Really?!" Sammy asked.

"Yes really," He replied. "You three brought us some of our highest ratings in years!" All three girls shared a high five. They were going to enjoy this.

So our girls' first day on the job goes very well. Also Sammy is the one that came up with their catch phrase in this universe. Next time, however, things aren't going to be so great as the Great Zapfish is going to go missing. This will give you your first look at Agent 3, or rather Agent 4 as well. See you then.
