I'm thinking of responding to certain reviews in the authors notes section here at the start, since I would really like to respond to all the advice and supportive comments, but I'm not sure if people actually go back to the review section and read it, plus it will give me something to write in here when I can't think of anything to put in the notes

Anyways, remember the fight between Sara and those thugs? Fights like that will happen soon, so clench your buttcheeks and get ready for it.

I'm thinking of adding a male OC into the story considering Cuttlefish is the only male in the group so far

But that's that's still TBD, so don't get your hopes up

Also... I COMPLETELY FORGOT SHELDON EXISTED OH NOOOOO

Remember! He gave us the weapons to use in the story mode! He is totally in the Squidbeak Splatoon! He drove the flying truck and everything!

I'm gonna somehow incorporate him and his talkative self into the story, I actually like Sheldon so he's coming in somehow! Better late than never.

Also C.Q Cumber and Iso Padre played prominent rolls in the Octo Expansion, so they are getting thrown in the massive blender that is this story as well!

Anyways, please enjoy!

Why hadn't she and Sam kissed yet?

They were girlfriends yet whenever they got close to the situation, they got flustered and backed out!

That was the problem going through Sara's head as she waited in line for some Crusty Sean's to bring home to Sam for lunch, who was currently sick in bed and craving some Crusty Sean's.

As she paid for hers and 3's food, she tried to imagine kissing her lover...

~queue unrealistic, bright, blinding imagination scene~

Sam: Sara...

Sara: Sam...

Sam *holding Sara's chin as they get closer and closer* your so beautiful...

Sara: Oh Sam...

Sam: Sara...

*couple leans in, their faces get close, lips almost touch...*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Yelled Sara into the sky, attracting multiple stares as she crouched down, clutching the bag holding the food, and blushing so much her face could be mistaken as a tomato if her hair was green, "it's too much, it's too much!!" She said out loud, "I can't handle that kind of situation!!"

After calming down a bit, though still blushing furiously, she collected herself and walked on home, inklings and Octolings alike still staring at her.

~meanwhile, like, 2 minutes earlier~

"This crossword puzzle is hard..." said a female voice in the darkness, this is the room we were in last chapter, "time to go focus mode..." she said before going completely silent, not paying attention to the monitors secretly surveying Inkopolis.

It was quiet except for the sounds and humming from the monitor until...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"

"Sweet mother of-!" Said the female before falling backwards in her seat from the shock of what happened, "owwwwwww" Said the female, getting up from her fall, "the volume is set to low dammit..." she said rubbing her head, "whoever screamed must have been close to a camera and screaming at the top of her lungs... sheesh"

~meanwhile, in the present~

Agent 4 was eating at a restaurant in an outdoor section with the squid sisters, though they were disguised so they didn't draw attention, "you know..." Agent 4 started, "they may not know who you are, but wearing that much seems to attract more attention than it repels" she said to the two idols.

The two idols were going for overkill, both were wearing face masks of some kind, sunglasses, beanies, and a big jacket, you couldn't tell they were Callie and Marie, but they still got strange looks.

"Yeah we know" they said in unison, "but this part of inkopolis REALLY loves us, overdoing it isn't enough, overkill is completely necessary with these guys" Marie said through her mask, they wear casual clothing everywhere else which grabs some attention, but they usually just ask for a selfie and then leave, she wondered what kind of love they were talking about.

~an important conversation done here~

Callie: so agent 4...

Kelly: yeah?

Marie: are you... single?

Kelly: yup, still am and always have been, haha! *tear rolls down cheek*

Callie and Marie: hmmmm *looks at eachother*

~later~

She found out later exactly the amount of love this area of inkopolis had for them as they finished paying the bill and were walking out when all of a sudden someone yelled, "OMG, THATS CALLIE AND MARIE!!" Followed by a series of Really?'s and Where?'s, immediately, they both grabbed Kelly, lifted her up, and they ran as fast as they could to get out of there.

This went on for a while until they got far away enough to the point they could see and hear the mob but they were still a bit far, far enough to super jump that is. "Kelly, it was great hanging out with you, but we gotta split" said Marie quickly, "yeah, like, now!" Said Callie as well, "W-wait what!?" Said Kelly, honestly confused, "listen to me very carefully" said Marie as the mob drew closer, "Super Jump home, we will text you later" she said, before Kelly could say, "uhh yeah, okay", Marie and Callie were already in squid form and super jumping in another direction, the mob stopped for a moment, saw what happened, looked at Kelly, and charged, quickly, Kelly went squid form and just before the mob reached her, had super jumped in the direction of her home, leaving the mob, far behind her.

~meanwhile, at Sam's place~

The door was thrown open as a still-flustered Sara walked in, "I'm hooooome!" She said, a weak "yaaaaaaaaay" was heard coming from Sam's room, she went into the room to where a light blue haired inkling lay in bed, a thermometer sticking out the corner of her mouth, the said thermometer, was reading a high temperature.

"How you feeling Sammy-wammy?" Said the Octoling kindly as she took the thermometer out of her mouth, which was responded with "ughhh... don't call me tha-" before it was cut off with a series of rough coughs, "so not very good then, well I brought Crusty Sean's! So eat up, Kay sweetheart?" She said lovingly, she was given a thanks and just before Sam bit in, she said, "hey, your face is *COUGH* really red, you okay?" Which caused the Octoling to get flustered again, not only was her daydream still existent in her mind, she was kind of embarrassed with the way she was talking to 3.

She started to stutter and explain herself until 3 burst out laughing, "ahhh, your the best Sara!" Sam said smiling, Sara gave a warm smile back.

Oh how she loves this squid.

Ahhhh fluff, makes the world go round, I was in a fluffy mood when I made this, so fluffy it must be! Next chapter I plan to go into the plot and add some prominent characters into the mix like I said at the beginning.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, thanks for reading, and see you next time!
