Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
Knock knock.
Bars' hands were inside his pockets, as his head was pointed at the door. Steps were heard from behind the door, then the door turned a bit counter-clockwise and revealing Grina which was smiling.
"Took your sweet time, big boy!" She grins a bit, pulling the door a bit more. "I was waiting the whole afternoon and dinner for this!"
"Like, for real?" Bars' right eyebrow rose, as he walked inside the room.
"As real as my long tentacles!" Grina pushed the door, closing it. "During this time, I kept on thinking about it… and now, it's pretty much a finished product of mine!" Her right arm rose, as her right forefinger pointed towards the ceiling. "With the fresh sign and all!"
"Girl… ehm…" Bars walked towards the bed, sitting on it. "… I don't understand where you are gettin' at."
"Eh eh! Why…" Grina bended forward, as her wrists went on her hips. "… allow Greta to explain the bodacious plan she came up with!"
"A plan for what…?" Bars' mouth rose. "Like, for stopping Project Neo?"
"Nope! Pretty much you can put that thing back in its dusty closet…" Grina lifted her posture, while grinning. "… instead, feast your eyes on my plan to put the Inkinators back in business!" She nodded twice.
"Uh… like…" Bars' mouth opened a bit. "… wait, you want us to get out of the Project Neo business?!"
"What do you think I said just earlier?" Grina shrugged. "The Inkinators don't belong in a cage… I'm sweating my shirts in order to open it up and get us filled with freedom!"
"But, girl…" Bars' eyebrows went up, as his mouth downturned. "I thought you joined the war against the project… I distinctly remember seeing you all that fired up about it!"
"Well, yeah…" Grina's mouth rose a bit, as her hands went behind her neck, her irises moved up and right, while her eyelids lowered down to the middle. "… little I knew, I would have regretted that action…"
"Wh-what about Tonna, girl?" Bars' bended forward. "She needs us, ya know!"
"Bars… have you played some games, earlier on?" Grina smiled, as her arms folded.
"Yeah, some Squid Race…" His irises went down.
"Don't you wish to play more of it?" Her eyelids lowered to the middle.
"I would pay for that…" He sighed.
"Paying would be useless… if you don't know the causes." She nodded. "This prison is taking away our freedom the more we stay here… one of those days, you might end up not playing a single game for years!"
"Like, no way!" Bars' head rose back, as his eyes expanded. "I have the videogame spirit running strong on me, girl! If that thing is gone, so am I!"
"Then, I guess you already know the causes…" Grina frowned a bit. "Would you let this direction making all your games go POOF?"
"Not even as a joke, girl!" Bars' stands up, frowning a lot.
"That's the music I wanted to hear!" Grina's eyes closed, as her arms were folding and her head was nodding. "Once we get the freedom, we will get all the games and glory!" Her arms opened, pointing towards the ceiling. "Therefore, we will happily live for the eternity without losing our freshness!"
"So, girl… like, what's plan then?" Bars' mouth rose, as he sits back on the bed. "How can we prevent losing our freshness?"
"Eh eh…" Grina's hands rubbed together, as she grinned. "… it's involving Hunry." She snickered.
"What about him?" Bars' mouth opened.
"You see… we could just get out of this dump, starting back from the original roots… but Miss Perfection would never forgive us for doing that!" Grina frowned a bit for a moment. "She wants the city to kiss the law's feet so much… but that desire is only breathing thanks to Hunry's presence!"
"Ehm… like… ya want to pound him down…?" Bars' hands clasped.
"Not pound him down!" Grina snorted. "I didn't even finished yet!" She cleared her voice. "As I was saying… Mirii's whole world is turning around Hunry." Her eyes closed. "She would do anything if that means to stay closer to him… and right now, the kind boy wants nothing more than putting things right in Inkopolis."
"Uhm… I don't get this whole plan, girl…" Bars' back stretched upwards, as he yawned with his mouth sealed. "Like… where are you gettin' at?"
"Well… you know Hunry, don't you?" Grina grins, opening her eyes and lowering her eyebrows a bit. "Despite all those days, Hunry is still a boy from the Farm Age, thus his ignorance is his huge drag-down, not knowing a thing about Inkopolis… and that really gets him volcano blast!"
Grina snickered loudly.
"He wants to eat up books too… he's even willing to hear others!" Her eyes and grin expanded. "That includes us… he trusts us to the max in fact!"
"So… what we can tell him?" Bars bended forward.
"Tell him…? More like teaching him!" Grina nodded quickly. "Eh eh… all we have to do is to taking him with us… and pretty much giving him a new fresh vibe."
Her right forefinger pointed up.
"We will give him sunglasses and not just plain, old glasses!" Grina snickered. "He'll start seeing the world under the fresh ways… and he will definitively follow US instead!"
"Oh… like, then Mirii gets to follow Hunter, right?" Bars chuckles. "And then we get back to the past once again."
"Precisely!" Grina's right fingers snapped, as her right thumb stretched forward and her right forefinger pointed at Bars. "Mirii cannot do anything about it… if not just changing as much as Hunry does!"
"Whoa… Mirii acting like us?" Bars' mouth opened wide. "Can she really evolve into that…?"
"Usually, she keeps hiding in her own ink…" Grina shrugged. "… but in front of Hunry, she pops up and listens to him very well!" She nodded. "The farm boy will do the rest of the job… and in the end, the Inkinators are gonna be the freshest Squids in the whole world!" Her arms opened wide.
"Like, the plan sounds slick for my ears!" Bars nodded, smiling widely. "We will get things rolling up, tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, I'll make the first step into visiting Hunry as soon as the searooster announces the Sun… you can keep your eyes shut, in the meantime!" Grina's hands went on her hips. "We will be the ones knocking on your door… me and Hunry!" She grins. "You will help me into giving out some slick idea of yours… but once Miss Perfection is on sight, our mouths must sing something more ordinary."
Grina bended forward.
"Do you get the plan?"
"I got it stamped in my brain!" Bars grinned. "Green light when the girl is no around… red light when she's under our noses!"
"Excellent!" Grina snickered loudly, as her hands rubbed together. "Excellent indeed… eh eh eh, ah ah ah!" She grinned widely. "This terrible nightmare is finally going to end… no more attacks towards the treehouse, no more trips with sick technology, no more dealing with huge monsters nor terrible goo! Once the cage is gone, we will get the Turf War Station business opening up… and finally we will get full Retro, once again!"
Grina laughed loudly, together with Bars.
