Chapter 7: Day 17: Pump Track It Up!

At Inkopolis Square, Corey is hiding in the trash can near the Deca Tower.

"Everything looks clear. And it's 8 am," said Corey, peeking out of the trash can to look around.

When he saw Chris coming to the Square, he said in his mind, "oh my squid! Chris never comes here at 8 am. What is she up to?"

"Hey, Sheldon! Are you in there," said Chris, knocking on Ammo Knights' door.

"Let's get to work," said Sheldon, coming out of the store.

The two go into the utility hole, and Corey said, "I don't believe it! Sheldon better not be doing what I think he's doing. I'm going in!"

At the Cuttlefish Cabin, Marie, in her Agent 2 uniform, is waiting for Chris to come out of the cabin and Sheldon and Taylor in his Agent 3.5 uniform.

"What is taking Agent 4 so long," said Sheldon.

"Don't rush girls, Agent 5. Girls hate guys when they rush them," said Taylor.

"Wish me luck, Agents," said Chris, leaving the Cuttlefish Cabin while wearing her Agent 4 uniform.

"Good luck, Agent 4," said Taylor.

Then Sheldon heard something from the utility hole and said, "Agents! I heard something from the utility hole. Hide!"

When they hide behind the cabin, Sheldon takes out a net gun.

"Wait a minute! This reminds me of the time when you, your cousin, and grandfather mistook me as a spy," said Taylor.

"It was love at first sight," said Marie, smiling romantically.

"Well, not to me."

When Corey comes out of the utility hole, he said, "wow. What is this place?"

Then Sheldon fires the net gun at Corey and captures him.

"Target capture," said Sheldon.

"What's going on?! Get me out of here! Help! Someone help me," said Corey, who's struggling to get out of the net.

"Quiet you!" Sheldon takes out a club and hits the net that Corey is in.

Back with Chris, she is searching for eight mini Zapfishes while taking down Octolings.

"Agent 4! Come in! Agent 4! Chris! This is Maire," Marie transmitting.

"What's up, Agent 2," said Chris. "What makes you piss off into anger?"

"Um…? People who call me adorable or cute."

"Oh, I guess this is the bad time to tell you that I think you're adorable."

"What?"

"Nothing. Anyway, we caught an intruder, and the intruder called you; cute."

"WHAT?!"

Chris was so angry that when an Octoling tries to splat her, she punches the Octoling in the face. She punched so hard that the Octoling splat.

"Leave a medieval flail for me! I want to beat the ink out of that person," said Chris, while her face turned red from her anger.

The Octolings are too scared of Chris for what she did to the splat punch they hide in ink.

Marie, Sheldon, Taylor, and Corey are still trapped in the net. Marie is curious about who she and her teammates captured.

"Do you think we should know who we capture," said Marie, poking the net that Corey is trapped in.

"Meh. Go ahead," said Sheldon.

When Marie opens it and peeks inside, she quickly closes back up and says while she blushed and smiled, "we caught a cutie."

"A what," said Sheldon and Taylor.

"He's as cute as Taylor. I hope he's single," said Marie, hugging the net with Corey; inside.

"Let me see that new crush you got," said Sheldon, takes the net from her.

When he opens it and looks inside, he closes it with a worried look on his face.

"Well….," said Taylor, waiting for Sheldon's response.

"It's…. her best friend. It's Corey!"

"Whose Corey," said Marie.

"He is Chris's best friend."

"Ooooh! Is he single?"

"Let him out before Chris gets here," said Taylor.

When Sheldon takes Corey out of the neat, Corey stood back on his feet and said while rubbing his head, "what's going on? Sheldon? Where's Chris? Wait! Where are we?! Who's the inkling boy with the blue hair? And is that Marie from the Squid Sisters?!"

"Corey?! What are you doing here?! And did you call me adorable," said Chris, returns from her mission.

"Me?! I don't remember saying that! If I did, it's not to offend you! Wait…. I have questions. You got some explaining to do."

"Well, um….."
