Second to last chapter is here! I'm so glad about it, and I already know the plot for the next story :D! But for now, I already have what I have for this chapter right here.

Now enjoy it all! ;)

*the next day, 11:00 AM*

*scene: Ruins of Ark Polaris*

Redd just got done going through the last wave of Salmon Run at the newest stage that Grizzco employees discovered: Ruins of Ark Polaris. The last wave was the special Glowflies event, but Redd and 3 other random teammates were prepared enough to get through the last wave.

When that was done, Redd and the other 3 people were partying with squidbagging... or octobagging if that teammate was an Octoling.

"That's enough for today. Now head back to the boat." Mr. Grizz said over the intercom. The people turn into their squid/octopus form, and they super jump back to the boat.

*back at the Grizzco shop*

"Now that's a great wave right there, kid." You really nailed it today, didn't ya?" Mr. Grizz complimented everyone. They all gave a salute as a response.

"Now your points are in. If you have enough points for a bonus, please wait outside the shop." Mr. Grizz reminded. Everyone nods, and then they leave the shop. They change out of their Grizzco outfits and clock out, and everyone either leaves to do their own thing or they wait outside the small place outside the shop where people can collect their daily bonus.

Redd, along with one of his teammates, wait outside the small shop in front of the Grizzco entrance, where the bonuses await them. After a few more seconds of waiting outside on this beautiful day, small spheres come to them. Redd grabs some of them, and inside, they hold different prizes from each of the spheres.

"Heh, nice." Redd said to himself. He got a couple coins and tickets, along with the monthly gear, being the North Country Parka. Redd walks to a small table and sits down on one of the chairs.

"Now I gotta get prepared for today." He says. He pulls his squid phone from his pocket. He opens up the texting app. One of the contacts being a group chat the involves him, Joel and David.

"I'm glad I got the chance to make this group chat. How else would I be able to keep the Squid Bits reputation on?" Redd snickered a bit as he kept on talking. He texted his friends that they were going to do a concert at 8:00 PM today.

His pals agreed with it. Redd could tell David seemed a little nervous since he only texted back a few words unlike Joel did. After all, David sometimes manages to get kind of scared at times. A concert can definitely be one of them.

"Alright, now... what should I do?" Redd got into a thinking pose. As he was thinking, he saw Caleb walking by.

"Oh! Hey, Caleb!" Redd greeted as he waves his hand in the air, trying to get his attention. Caleb notices and walks to him.

"Hi, Redd. What are you doing here?" Caleb asked.

"I was just thinking. I recently just finished my shift at Grizzco, the shady shop over there." Redd replied as he pointed to the shop.

"Oh, I see."

"And I'll also have to ask... what are you up to on this fine day?"

"Just getting some fresh air. I really need it after all that time I spent in the Deepsea Metro."

"How's Ali doing?"

"Aaliyah? She is doing fine. She's actually getting ready to apply for a job." Caleb responded. This made Redd surprised.

"Really? What kind of job?" He exclaimed.

"It's at a local bakery. For some reason, her sweet tooth is... very strong. Desserts are her main thing." Caleb said.

"That's true. Aaliyah does like to eat sweet treats." Redd replied.

"That girl would definitely have to help herself though. She could probably get ill if she keeps it up." Caleb warned.

"Don't worry, Caleb. She knows that. I know deep inside she is a smart girl," Redd insisted, "Yeah, the orphanage she was raised at didn't have enough money for school from what she told me. But you know... I'm her friend, and you are too. We're here to help."

"You're right. She can learn lots of stuff. Baking is one." Caleb said with a smile.

"But not math. Math is not one of her best things, I know that. Simple math is fine, but complicated math... that's a completely different story." Redd explained. Caleb chuckled at that.

"Anyway, I have a surprise for you later at 3:00 PM. Trust me, you don't want to miss this." Redd insisted.

"I'll be there," Caleb said, but he frowned once he didn't know that one point, "Wait... where do you want to meet me at?"

"Just near Deca Tower. That's fine." Redd replied. Caleb nods, and he begins to walk away.

"Bye, Redd! I'll see you later!" He said with his arm high into the air.

"Yep, see ya! Tell me how Aaliyah does with applying for the job!" Redd called out.

"I will!" Caleb yelled back before completely walking away in the distance. Redd sighed with a smile on his face, since he had a long shift at the Grizzco job.

*later*

*scene: Aaliyah's apartment*

Caleb was laying down on his couch, waiting for his friend to come back.

"I wonder how Ali is doing with that... application." He thought. Then he heard some footsteps. Then the sound of the doorknob clicking. The door unlocks and opens, and on the other side was Aaliyah with a big smile on her face.

"Oh! Aaliyah, you're happy!" Caleb said as he begins to smile.

"Yes I am! I got in the job!" Aaliyah said gleefully.

"You did?!" Caleb exclaimed in astonishment.

"Yes, I did! I almost thought I didn't get in! The boss was kinda sketchy with my shy personality... but he smiled and said 'It's not a big deal!'"

"That's amazing! I'm so proud of you!"

"I did kinda want to boss to hire you too, but... first, you need some practice. And secondly, I don't know if he'd want to people wanting for hiring as well."

"Speaking of which... can you teach me how to bake someday? Since we're friends and all?" Caleb asked.

"Of course I will! I actually taught myself how to bake cakes, cupcakes, and brownies. It will be my honor to teach you." Aaliyah replied with a small smile.

"Thanks, Aaliyah." Caleb said, but then he heard rapid beeping from his phone that he got recently from Pearl and Marina.

"What's up?" Aaliyah asked.

"I'm going to meet Redd. He says he has a surprise for me right now. It's 2:58, and I don't want to be late." Caleb responded.

"Okay. I'll stay here. Call me if you need me... even tough I can't really do much to help, especially in fights... okay?"

"Sure. Bye, Aaliyah!" Caleb said, and then he turns into his octopus form and super jumps away.

*scene: Inkopolis Square*

Just as expected, Redd was near the entrance of Deca Tower. Redd shows a toothy grin once he saw Caleb walk up to him.

"Ah, Caleb! Glad you were able to make it!" He greeted.

"Hi, Redd. So... what's the surprise?" Caleb asked.

"Close your eyes and hold out your hands." Redd reminded.

"Okay." Caleb said, and he closes both of his eyes, and his hands were out. He felt something land on both of his hands.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now." Redd said. Caleb opens his eyes, and he was confused on what he saw. It was a yellow ticket, and on the front of it was black silhouettes of Redd, Joel and David in a rainbow background with neon lights.

"What is this?" Caleb asked.

"This is a ticket to a Squid Bits concert." Redd replied.

"Squid Bits? What's a Squid Bit?"

"A group of music artists. The person on the left is Joel, and the person on the right is David."

"Oh, your friends?"

"That's right!"

"Glad they're in a group! Then who is the person in the center?"

"You're looking at him."

Caleb's jaw dropped to the floor and he literally fell backwards.

"OH. MY. COD!" Caleb screamed.

"Surprised? I certainly ain't. We have a decent number of fans who like our songs." Redd replied.

"I WANT TO COME!" Caleb shouted.

"Everyone is. My sister is as well. Also... the Squid Sisters will do a little bit of a cameo of a song you might know when the concert starts." Redd explained.

"What song? What song are the Squid Sisters doing?" Caleb pleaded. Redd smirked.

"Calamari Inkantation." He responded. Caleb nearly fainted. After all, that one songs itself freed Caleb from his hypnotized state and stop working for Octavio. He did have to fight Agent 3 in the process, thus leading to him stuck in the Deepsea Metro with no memories.

"So, about that ticket... you use that to get in. I've also made some reserved seats for you, Mia, and Aaliyah as well. That way you have front row seats!" Redd explained.

"Redd, thank you so much! I will definitely be there, just you wait!" Caleb yelled.

"Here, take an extra ticket. Give it to Ali when you get home." Redd said as he tosses another ticket. Caleb catches it just in time.

"I'll be there at the concert!" Caleb shouted happily as he walks away.

"And now to get prepared." Redd thought.

*later again*

It's now 7:55 PM. Inklings and Octolings were gathered around a nearby stage concert in the Square. Inklings and Octolings were gathered around, waiting for the Squid Sisters and the Squid Bits on the stage. The curtains were closed, and fans were eager to find out.

In the front seat row, in the center of it was Redd's best friends there. Aaliyah was standing in the middle, Mia was on the left and Caleb was on the right.

"I remember the time when Redd and I saw the Squid Squad back at my old home. This time, it's gonna be amazing to see my twin brother up close!" Mia squealed.

"This is gonna be cool. I'm seeing a Squid Bits concert!" Aaliyah cheered.

"Live up to the excitement! Everyone knows it's cool!" Caleb yelled excitedly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming today," A voice said as it was heard throughout the many speakers, "We're all glad you're here to see an amazing sight and sweet tunes for your ears. For the start, I present to you... the Squid Sisters with their famous song, 'Calamari Inkantation'!"

Everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs. The curtains opened as many neon pink and green lights were filled. Callie and Marie were on the stage, saying hi to everyone while doing their 'stay fresh' pose.

And soon, they started singing Calamari Inkantation.

Ya weni marei mirekyarahire
Juri yu mirekerason

Kire hyari yoriherahe nyurahera
Nunnyura unera yurawera nyimerani

Chopperipo shurashurafe
Nannyurunire nifaferahi

Nannyuruni weranira shuraharahi
Nyurunirehara fe fe fe

Ya weni marei mirekyarahire
Juri yu mirekerason

Kire hyari yoriherahe nyurahera
Nunnyura unera yurawera fimera

Na nire jute mirekyaraherya
Nire yu mirekerason

Kire hyari nuriherahe nyurahera
Nunnyura unera yurawera fimerani

The song ended. Everyone clapped and cheered.

"That song... it's so... memorable." Caleb sighed happily.

"And that's not all! Redd and his buddies are here to give it some more enthusiasm!" Mia said with a big smile.

"Thank you all for hearing our introduction song here today!" Callie called out.

"And now, the moment you all have been waiting for... the Squid Bits are coming right now!" Marie added. And they got prepared for something everyone knows about. Except Caleb since he never seen the Squid Sisters live either.

"Until next time..."

"STAY FRESH!"

Their signature pose was held for a few seconds before they walked away as everyone clapped. They kept on clapping as the Squid Bits made their way to the stage, each of the members waving to thousands of people.

"Wazzup, everyone! This is Redd here, reporting as the lead singer for the Squid Bits!" Redd greeted, "With my backup singers here to spread cheer to everyone of of you squids and octopodes... we'll be sure to make our songs one of the best you have every heard!"

Everyone claps as a result.

"O-Oh gosh... c-can we do this, Redd? We have many songs to do, I don't know if we can do it." David whispered, a little bit scared.

"Don't worry, dude. We can do this. Just sing. That's all ya gotta do." Redd explained.

"Give it your best shot." Joel said with a thumbs up. David nods and smiles.

"Now, let's start off with our successful first song... 'Squid Melody!'" Redd insisted. Everyone cheers.

Time passes. The Squid Bits sang Squid Melody, along with 'Let's Paint the World', 'Lay the Ink Down', and their recent one: 'Inkling Dance Off'.

But the last song was something no one expected:

It was 'Now or Never'. And this variation showed a mixture of pop and rock. Everyone was surprised by it, but they cheered, clapped and screamed loudly.

"That's it for today, everyone!" Joel said with a big smile.

"Until next time..." Redd started. He, along with Joel and David, did their signature pose.

"Wanna not get hit? Be one with the Squid Bits!"

Everyone cheered some more. Caleb was almost out of breath, and Aaliyah was in awe. Mia was also very happy to actually see her brother, along with his friends, perform in front of many people.

The Squid Bits members were in front of the stage entrance, giving people high-fives, complimenting them, or signing their fans autographs.

Redd was shocked when he felt Mia hug him.

"That was awesome, Redd! You did great out there!" She complimented.

"I did the best I can. It was all worth it." Redd sad with a shrug.

"Those songs were great. How do you come up with such heavenly tones?" Caleb asked Joel.

"I dunno. Redd comes up with the title and tone, then David and I do a practice for what the beat will be like." Joel replied.

"It was awesome! I feel like I'm gonna pass out!" Aaliyah said with a giggle.

"Same! Passing out is one thing I'd do after a big day like this!" David added. And both him and Aaliyah pass out. Mia, Joel, Redd and Caleb laugh, since they knew they were playing around. Especially knowing they got up immediately upon hearing the laughing, joining in as well.

This is one day no one oughta forget in their life.

A/N: Yas, it is done! Squid Bits and Squid Sisters rule, and ya can't deny it (You can cause that's your opinion XD)! The last chapter is being made. I'll try to have it out sometime. Stay Fresh everyone, and see you next time in much more awesomeness! :D

P.S.: SMASH ULTIMATE IS AN AWESOME GAME. Of course it is since EVERYONE LIKES THIS GAME, INCLUDING ME. :)
