Chapter 6: Remember #2

Though parted by the ocean deep,

My oldest friend, we meet again.

I touch your face; you rouse from sleep.

In the subway car, where Owen and Cap'n Cuttlefish are in. Owen lays down on the seat while Cap'n Cuttlefish watches her.

"All of the mem cakes in Line B have been collected. Are you ready to remember, Agent 8," said Cap'n Cuttlefish.

"Aye, Cap'n," said Owen.

"Stay calm, Owen. We'll be right here beside you. Well, except Pearl and I," said Marina, in the walkie-talkie.

"And Eight, if anything goes wrong, we'll help you," said Pearl, in the walkie-talkie.

"Um, young Pearl? Owen just passed out when you got to goes wrong," said Cap'n Cuttlefish, notice that Owen passed out.

"It's happening! Owen is remembering," said Marina.

"I wonder what she remembers right now," said Pearl.

In Owen's mind, she's flashing back…. to the day when she is appointed and award. At the Octarian Palace's stadium, thousands of Octarian citizens gathered at the stans. In the field, the Octarian army is in rows. On the stage of the stadium, Owen is walking up the stairs. In his Splatoon 1 uniform, DJ Octavio is on the scene with a black-haired Octoling with seaweed, holding a 24 karat gold Octopus-shaped medallion on a small purple pillow. Owen kneed down before DJ Octavio. He took out a sword and said while dubbing Owen, "for the outstand fighting skills, loyalty to your army, people and commanding officer, and fellow sisterhood and showing a great mind of pure intelligence: I, King Octavio dubbed you; Soldier Owen, the Best Octoling Fighter of the entire army."

After dubbing her, he said, "please stand for your reward."

When Owen stands up, DJ Octavio said, "my fellow Octarians! As honorary for the hard work she has done for us, my son, Prince Octavius, will present the impossible reward that no Octoling has ever gotten in years to come. The Gold Octopus. Octavius, come!"

When he appeared, Owen quickly bowed to her and blushed when he stands in front of her. Prince Octavius takes the Gold Octopus from the black-haired- seaweed Octoling and puts the medallion around Owen's neck. Then he holds her hands, and she looked up at him.

"May the world and your family notice your honor," said Prince Octavius.

He quickly slips a note into Owen's hands without anyone, even herself noticing. The Octarian Army and Citizens cheered for Owen.

"Come, my son. I must capture my archenemies," said DJ Octavio, leaving the stage.

Owen noticed Prince Octavius is leaving, and his eyes glowed when he looked into her, causing her to blush. As the audience on the stans and field leave, Owen noticed the note from Prince Octavius in her hands. It said when she read it, "Want to go on a stroll? Meet me at the castle grounds…. Prince Octavius"

"Wait, he wants to go on a date with me," said Owen, notice he's looking at her with his eyes glowing and smiling.

She blushed so hard that she fell on the ground; happily.

"Owen? You don't look so good," said the black-haired seaweed Octoling and continues. "Owen…. Owen…. Owen…."

Then Owen woke up; she notices her mouth is foaming with pink-heart-shaped bubbles.

"What's going on with Owen," said Marina from the walkie-talkie.

"She's foaming heart-shaped pink bubbles," said Cap'n Cuttlefish.

"She's really in love with the Prince. What did you remember, Owen," said Pearl.

"It was the day of my ceremony for all of my hard work for the Octarian Army. I am dubbed as the best Octoling fighter of the entire army by DJ Octavio. And then, I was rewarded with The Gold Octopus by Prince Octavius," said Owen, while she thinks about the Prince.

"NO WAY," said Marina.

"I know. I heard its impossible for an Octoling to receive," said Cap'n Cuttlefish.

"No, I meant. How can he give something so wonderful to her?!"

"Marina is jealous. Marina is jealous," said Pearl, teasingly.

"I am not!"

"Then he gave me a note," said Owen.

"What did it say," said Cap'n Cuttlefish.

"He asked me out on a date."

Then Marina laughs, which leaves Owen to say, "what?"

"For a second there, I thought you said he asks you out on a date. Now, what did you said?"

"He asks me out…. on a date."

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?! You're so lucky. What does he see in you?!"

"Stop the jealousy habit, Marina. Be happy for her," said Pearl.
