"IHO! YOU SPLATTING MORON!" An octoling screamed. "THEY COULD'VE SPLATTED US!"
"Yujin, I'm giving Kareshi a reason to get me back! By stealing the zapfish, they'll think Octavio took it!" Iho explained. "Now, I can be with my husband and baby boy again!"
"We could've been splatted! That the most moronic thing I've seen you do!" Yujin shot back.
"I want to be with my baby and husband."
"Then go see them at the shack!" Yujin reasoned.
"It's not the same... We're married... We're supposed to live together. We're supposed to be with each other all the time and sit down with our baby and care for him." Iho replied. "And I'm gonna do anything and everything to make sure I'm back with my two boys."
"Iho, sometimes you're-"
"You don't know what it's like, Yujin! You're not married! You don't have a son! You-"
BANG BANG BANG!
Iho and Yujin froze. Not a word was being spoken. Both of them thinking the same thing: Maybe she didn't hear us...
"OPEN THE DOOR IHO!" Shiraberu screamed from the other side of the door.
"Go away, Shiraberu! Haven't you ruined enough today!?" Iho shouted back.
"Octavio wanted me to get you! NOW COME ON!" Shiraberu yelled louder.
"Tell him I'm not home!" Iho replied.
An evil grin grew on Shiraberu's face. "Hmm. What was it you said about a son?"
Iho gasped. "N-nothing. I didn't say anything ab-"
"Then I guess you wouldn't mind me asking that sicko you were with if that's true! Would you!?" Shiraberu interrupted her.
Iho stayed silent.
"Want me to do it? Cod knows I will!"
Iho then opened the door and stared Shiraberu in the eyes. "I don't have a son!" She yelled through her teeth.
"You're a terrible liar, Iho." Shiraberu grinned. "I love seeing you uncomfortable. It makes me feel so..."
As Shiraberu went on, Iho slowly started to close the door.
"Because you never- Hey! Don't you dare shut this door, Iho!" Shiraberu yelled when the door was three quarters of the way closed. She then put one hand on the door, and the other hand on the doorframe. "IHO!"
Yujin then sighed. "Open the door." She then winked at Iho.
Iho nodded and opened the door slightly.
Shiraberu pushed the door open, Iho thought for sure she put a hole in the wall when the door hit it.
"Now, Iho! I've lost my-"
Yujin cut her off by slamming the door in her face, and locking it.
Shiraberu then started to hit the door. Furious. "SPLAT YOU! OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!"
"Nah. We'd rather not. We're very busy. Mind coming back later?" Yujin asked.
"OPEN!" Was the only word Shiraberu could think of saying.
"You don't have a mute button, do you?" Iho asked.
"Nope. Sadly she doesn't." Yujin cut in.
"IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS DOOR I'M GONNA GET OCTAVIO!" Shiraberu shouted.
No one answered.
"HEY! I'M NOT FINISHED SAYING... What I..." Shiraberu looked at all the octarians looking out of their apartment doors at her. "What!? What's wrong with all of you!? Go back inside!"
All of the octarians shot back inside of their apartments. Locking the doors behind them.
"GRRR!" Shiraberu then stormed away from Iho and Yujin's apartment door.
"Is she gone?" Yujin asked, waiting a minute before opening her mouth.
"I-I don't know. Let me check." Iho then took a deep breath, unlocked the door, and looked into the hall. "She's gone." She said with a sigh of relief. "And soon, we will be too."
Yujin looked at her confused. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"We'll more than likely be jailed, splatted, or who knows what'll happen to us. I just know it isn't good." Iho reasoned.
"Wha- da- US!? Why am I being dragged into this!?" Yujin asked.
"Because you slammed the door in her face!"
"So?"
"She's close to Octavio! As in, she's really high up! Heck, by now she's probably second in command!" Iho reasoned.
"Oh… Splat." Yujin gulped. "U-uh, all of a sudden, I agree with your plan to get out of here."
"Great!"
"But! One more thing… If we get caught, I was brought with you against my will!"
Iho pulled on Yujin's arm and rolled her eyes. "Oh come on! Let's go before she comes back!"
Yujin nodded. "Yeah. That sounds preferable."
Iho then yanked her out of the apartment and locked the door. "Okay, let's get to the shack."
Yujin then spoke up. "W-wait! I don't have the keys!"
"We're not taking the car." Iho explained.
"Wait what…?" Yujin asked.
"They'd know right away, so we're walking. Don't worry, we can super jump." Iho said as she started pulling her by her arm again.
Yujin sighed. "Why am I friends with you again?"
Iho chuckled. "Okay, okay… Stay here and get arrested. If that's what you want, who am I to stop you?" She asked as she let go of Yujin's arm and started walking down the stairs.
"Wait! Iho! I'm coming wi-" She shot up so fast that she tripped over and practically flew down the stairs.
When Iho reached the bottom, she looked at Yujin and giggled. "Edger, huh?"
Yujin got up with a groan. "Splat you…" The two then walked out of the apartment building and started making their way towards Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack.
