Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
"Like... I have to say, girl!" Bars chuckles. "Once I saw this place, I got a huge nostalgia vibe comin' out from my mind!"
The two Inklings were staring at a platform, held by 4 white pillars, each coming from the white platform's corners, standing below the large lake's surface. On the platform's right and left side, a large group of gallery seats pointing towards the middle of the platform.
"You can say that again, big boy!" Grina grins, as her eyes closed and her hands were resting on her hips. "Oooh… what I would give to play another part of Ink, Turf, Splat in Oceanic Park…" She sighed, as her eyes opened. "The charm that little show has… it would really cheer up everyone! Especially me."
Bars' head turned to his right.
"Like, you got some sadness on your head?"
"Well… not really sadness…" Grina's head turned to her left, as her eyebrows went down and her mouth was smiling. "It's just the boredom aspect of those days, who is making me fall asleep…" She bended forward. "Where is the adventure part, full of action and fun?! Those days were so weird, I really don't know what to make of them… what do you say about them?"
"Girl, I can only see things from my perspective… not for ego reasons, ya know." Bars shrugged. "That's because I don't know how you would see stuff… or the average Squid, mind you." He nodded. "That said, I do find those days lacking in… freshness, yeah."
"Exactly!" Grina's eyes sparkled, as her right fist hits her left palm. "Wouldn't it be cooler if we depart on a ship, moving from island to island, getting all the treasure?!" She grins widely. "And the treasure part would just be an excuse… an excuse to do movie-like stuff!"
"Like, we get to fight a giant lizard dude…?" Bars' eyes closed, as he smiled while his eyebrows went up. "Come on, girl: you got to land some heavy hits here and there! The monster would fly for miles and"
"Whoa, whoa, wait…" Grina's eyelids were on the middle, as her eyebrows went neutral and her posture lifted. "I wasn't thinking about destroying the environment… and I don't even want to do that." Her eyes grew a bit, as she bended forward. "What kind of epic adventures we will get without a defined land?! It would make the adventure taste like nothing!"
"Eh eh, like… do you know that cartoon where Squids are flying, fighting each other over a desolated wasteland?" Bars rose his mouth, as his eyes opened.
"Yes… but if you are trying to find a justification, forget it." Grina's head shakes, as her posture lifted. "My idea of freshness is more… uhm…" She folded her arms, as her irises pointed up. "A mix between Adventure, Action… Mystery… maybe some Romance… and of course, tons of fun!"
Grina nodded while smiling widely.
"We venture for treasure!" Her right arm stretched upwards, as her right fist clenched. "We venture for legendary memories to share with our friends! This is what we are looking for, in reality!"
"Girl, if you want that so much… why don't you try gettin' that?" Bars nodded, while smiling and closing his eyes. "Like, we do have youngness on our sides… we should realize our wishes, before the ink gets too dry."
Grina's mouth opened for a while, as her eyes were staring directly on Bars' ones. Her mouth sealed for a moment.
"I… I didn't really think of that…" Her eyebrows went up. "So much happened in those days… … sgrunt!" She frowned. "Of course if it wasn't for all this uncontrollable mess we encountered, I would surely come up with something who will let us satisfy such incredible wish!"
Her head shakes.
"Instead, we are stuck dealing with this organization no one really knows…" Her hands hit her hips. "… and I can't even do anything to back away from that, since I promised to stop them!" She snorted.
"Girl, like… how about you pick up an idea to use?" A sweat drop appears on Bars' right side of his head, as his eyes closed. "I'm sure you can cook somethin'… like, I don't think I ever saw you stumbling in front of any obstacles, just like this." He chuckles, as his eyes opened.
"Uhm…" Grina's mouth downturned.
Gradually her mouth smiled, as her eyebrows went up.
"You know… there might be a chance!" She nodded. "Speaking of all those weird"
Grina's eyes were seeing Hun and Mirii in the distance, followed by a man. Her mouth opened wide.
"Wait… but that man is…" Her eyes expanded.
"Eh?" Bars' turned behind, as his hands entered inside his pockets. "Like… what's up with this?"
The man passed the two Inklings, quickly walking towards the other two.
"Grina?! Is that truly you?!" The man's eyes were expanded.
Grina nodded, as she walked past Bars while smiling widely.
"Good morning, Mr. Peter!" Her hands went on her hips. "It's been some time, ever since we saw each other…"
"Oh my…! I-I can't believe it!" The man bended forward, as his hands rubbed together, while smiling and closing his eyes. "Greta Inkolina! I-I always wondered what happened to you… I mean, you had a real nice career going on"
"That?" Grina's head turned to her left, as her eyes closed, her eyebrows went down and her left hand went in front of her face. "Proud of not acting anymore. That world is way too messy for my likings…" Her head turned forward, while grinning and folding her arms. "Instead, I prefer some real adventures…! Life should provide real fun, instead of being tied with stressful jobs!"
"… so, your father wasn't lying to me." Peter's mouth downturned. "You really abandoned your career, because of the huge stress you had…"
Grina shrugged.
"I'm almost forgetting the acting pain I had in the past… which is one of the objectives I wanted." Her arms opened wide. "That means I'm finally breathing! I'm finally flying around where I want to, without any nuisances!"
Peter smiled.
"Well… I can't complain too much: you are a real kind Squid, Grina." He nodded. "You deserve to live your young years at the fullest."
Grina giggles.
"Anyway… how things are going for Midni?" Her hands went on her hips. "Is she here? I want to meet here: it's been a huge while since I chatted with your daughter."
"You would better forget about that…" Mirii's head rose. "She tried to attack us, before… she even knew my name."
Grina's eyes expanded, as her jaw dropped.
