This was not planned at all, but this chapter is gonna be special.
And it's chapter 8
EVERYTHING IS AN 8 REFERENCE
Now serious mode, you guys are the best, I couldn't have asked for a better way to start out my time as a fanfic writer, I plan to keep this fic going for a while before it ends, but I am planning what my next fics are gonna be like, and even if this fic ends, you can be damn sure there is gonna be a sequel, and I'm gonna be a little more "creative" with the names next time XD
But don't worry, this isn't ending anytime soon, but I really just can't thank you all enough for being so supportive on my first fanfiction, I honestly expected people not to like it, I was riddled with doubts such as "is this too cliche?" Or "is this not funny?" Or "Am I not shipping it enough?" But the fact that people actually really enjoy my fanfic just really boosts my confidence, and I can't thank anyone enough.
Now without further ado... please enjoy!
It had been a long day, Sara gets attacked, Sara gets a name, a big party and sleepover! And she even showed off her acting chops after the pool! (She got a lot of requests for what to act as and she did them perfectly! She acted Pearl, Marina, Marie, Callie, Rich girl, Captain Cuttlefish, and as a joke, Agent 4 said: "Seductive Empress!" And while it was originally a joke, 8 got too excited and actually acted it, embarrassing her, and 3, considering 8 did the "deep and husky" voice at her, everyone blew it off, but 8 and 3 couldn't stop thinking about it)
Agent 8 and 4 had an arm wrestle (8 won), Cap'n Cuttlefish and Pearl had a rap battle, Sam defeated Pearl the Bayonetta main at smash bros easily (and they had to deal with a raging Pearl afterwards), and it was all in all, a great afternoon.
Though now it was midnight, and everyone was getting in a sleeping bag for the night, not that anyone was actually trying to go to sleep, Pearl got out her Switch, Callie and Marie chatted with Kelly, Marina and Cuttlefish were the only ones asleep, and Sam and Sara, laying down next to eachother, with their backs to eachother, still in an ever-awkward situation.
"You looked so beautiful, I was in awe!"
*acting flashback*
Those same moments kept playing again and again in their heads, they each wanted to say something to the other but they couldn't think of anything to say, when Sam was about to say something it ended badly when she noticed that 8 bought a bag with little octopi on it and she had a bag with little squid on it and it was adorable but when Sara responded with "yeah?" She panicked and said "o-oh! Nothing..."
30 minutes of awkward torture passed, Agents 1 2 and 4 were already yawning, though Pearl was still playing games.
Eventually, Sara decided something needed to be said, even if it could just be forgotten tomorrow, which it can't, she didn't want it to be forgotten, so she turned around to face Sam and said, "Hey... Sam?"
Sam turned around to face the Octoling, "yeah?" Said Sam, "about... the whole bathroom thing..." started Sara, "oh god here it comes..." thought 3, she braced herself for the worst, whatever the worst was.
"Did... did you mean what you said?" Asked Sara.
A moment of silence passed
Agent 3 didn't know what she expected but she was still suprised that she was asked this, she looked at the Octoling in the eye, her eyes showed seriousness, but she was biting her lip, a sign of hopefulness.
Sam took a deep breath, and put on her best poker face and said, "I did mean it, every word" to the girl, Sara made a tiny gasp and put her hands to her mouth and a few tears started to form, normally this would make Sam panic, but for some reason, she didn't, instead she asked, "do... do you think I looked beautiful as well?" To her.
Tears stopped forming and just froze on the corners of her eyes, her hands came down a bit, she looked at Sam in the eyes, they stayed that way for a minute, until Sara decided that the only thing to say, was the truth.
"I do think you look beautiful, your the prettiest person I know" she said to the inkling girl, another small gasp was heard,
coming from the inkling this time, they took their hands out of their bags and put them together (for reference, you know how your hands are when you clap em? Or if you play Detroit: Become Human, the hand thing Markus and North do? That's what's happening here).
They looked eachother in the eyes, they scored themselves in their sleeping bags closer to eachother, their faces were getting closer until...
"Now kiiiiiisssssss..."
Both of them screamed and jumped away from eachother, the voice had come from above them, where Pearl was there watching, who was now laughing on the floor.
"AHAHA... OH MY GOD, IM SORRYAHAHAHA!! I should have kept quiet but I couldn't resist... BWAHAHAHAHA!!" Said the little pink midget, they both glared at her, but she didn't seem to care, Kelly and the Sisters were wide awake now, and Marina was waking up, Cuttlefish though slept deeply and loudly (he snores).
While Pearl lost her s—t and everyone else asked what was happening, Agents 8 and 3 saw eachother, blushed a deep red and looked away, but then they looked back at eachother and smiled.
Then they blushed harder when Pearl yelled "THEY WERE ABOUT TO KISS AND I INTERRUPTED IT!!" and while Marina and Kelly scolded her ("You dont do that Pearlie!" "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?"), the squid sisters game over and asked for details, which was responded with red faces and "S-shut up!"
All while Cap'n Cuttlefish snored through it all.
Amidst all the chaos, 3 and 8 caught eachother's eye again.
And they smiled
This was a really good night
(Though it could have been better)
AHAHAHA!! Ohhhh the idea that Pearl would interrupt it like that popped in my head and I love it! I hope I didn't fan any Pearl hate-flames with this, this had to happen and Pearl was just the more hilarious choice XD
Ohhhh I'm gonna have fun writing this fic, until next time guys!
Thanks for reading!
(There was ultimate "Saram" shipping here, and that's what I'm calling it, this chapter, and it's on Chapter 8 as well! Everything good happens on something with 8!)
