Ahhhhhh, back from being absent for currently the longest amount of time so far, Traveling is tough!

Anyways, QA time! Let's go:

Isn't Pearl's screen name MC_Princess?

No, I double checked it on the day I made the first chatroom chapter, and I checked again when I saw this question, it is MC.Princess with a period to separate the MC and the Princess, I have always typed it that way. And the place I checked it? In the game myself, I checked the chat logs in the expansion.

Anyways, it's time to geeeeeeeeet started!!

~meanwhile, Agent 4...~

"Okay so Ian and Orion are actually pretty good" Said Kelly as she ducked for cover, currently her team was in the lead, but it was looking like that was gonna change real soon.

Ian and Orion were on the tower while the other 2 stayed on the ground near it, making it hard to move onto it.

Kelly was on the pink team with a group of randoms, and while they were okay... they weren't good enough, Kelly took a deep breath and jumped out from the cover, she threw a burst bomb at one of the green team members on the ground, she dodge rolled behind the other one and splatted the other one, and then as the other one, partially inked, charged at her, she splatted him as well.

"Ohhhh that was fresh" she said as the little inkling ghosts flew off towards the respawn pad. However her trance was quickly interrupted by the sound of an Octoling with an Afro haircut holding an octobrush jumping at the tower from a ledge yelling "ITS TIME FOR BOB ROSS TO KICK A-" before being cut off by an accurate shot from Orion.

"Who's Bob Ross?" She thought, was it his name? She concluded it was likely his name, but she was never sure.

She dodged a fling of ink from Ian and swam up onto the tower, things were really close quarters now, Orion attempted to shoot her but she kicked him off the tower, Ian attempted to roll over her, but she dodged to the side of the tower and swam to the other side, Orion was already back on, but she kicked him off again, earning an "Oh come on!" From him as he fell.

At that moment, Ian attempted to roll over her, she was too close to dodge, so she aimed her dualies at him and fired, she got hit by the roller and was splatted, but Ian was also hit, and her teammates were handling Orion on the ground.

This was gonna be a long match.

~meanwhile, at Octo Valley~

Agent 3 and 8 were walking around the area, if there was a chance they could find Octavio, they would take it, was the reason they gave, but Sara was distracted, she needed to tell Sam what was on her mind.

"Hey Sam..." she said as they patrolled, "you know what I tried to tell you yesterday?" She said nervously, "yeah?" Said 3, "Well, I think now I should tell you" she said, stopping, Sam stopped to, and just listened, "you know when I fainted while talking to the Octoling, Coral?" She said fidgeting, "Well, when I looked at her, I got this huge headache, and when I saw the necklace, it got worse, and I passed out" she said to the inkling.

Sam nodded, taking in what was being said, "Well, the thing is, she looked familiar to me, her name, the necklace, and what she called me, Clara" she said, fidgeting more now.

"What if... she's from my past?" She said to the agent, it had been a long time since their time in the underground, but she hadn't remembered anything else since escaping, she had all her Mem Cakes, but they didn't give her much, she didn't have many details, only that she used to work for Octavio until she heard the Calimari Inkantation, and now Sam could see where her worry was going to now come from.

"I have a new name now..." she said looking at the ground, "I've made new memories, new friends, and I've even met you" she said to her, "but... I'm sure my past is just as precious but..." she started, "I'm scared Sammy, I don't even know why, I shouldn't be scared, but I am..." she said, a hint of sadness in her voice.

Sam pulled her into a hug, Sara gasped as it happened, she felt tears beginning to form so she threw her head into her chest to try and hide it and hugged her back.

"It's okay" Sam said to the Octoling, "I'm here with you all the way" she said, "we'll get as much of your memories back as we can, and we will do it together" she said to the girl, "besides" she started, "you inked an entire statue and saved the world!" She said smiling, "and you did it without me! If we're working together this time, than everything will work out, okay?"

"O-okay..." She said, her voice cracking a bit, "also there's one other thing..." she said, taking her face off of the jacket Sam was wearing, "huh? Uhh okay, what is it?" She said, confused now, Sara was blushing hard as she said, "this".

In an instant, Sara stood up a bit, and gave Sam a quick peck on the cheek.

She blushed furiously, twirling her hair with a finger, Sam looked at her, a wide eyed, jaw a little dropped, and just trying to process what happened.

~meanwhile in Sam's mind~

Carp! Systems are failing!

What do you mean!?

WE CANT PROCESS THIS MUCH

Sam.exe has stopped working would you like to reboot?

~back in the real world~

Sam's facial expression slowly changed from a shocked expression, her face reddened as her mouth widened into a silent scream, her eyes widening as well, a sound was about to come out before Sara put a finger to her mouth, smiled and said, "shhhhh...", and it wasn't the shhhh that made her freeze, it was her face, she never realized how adorable a blushing, smiling, Agent 8 was.

This Octoling was going to be the death of her, she was sure, just write R.I.P Sam on her tombstone that Pearl got her, cause of death, either loss of blood through the nose, or just not being able to handle Sara's cuteness.

"C'mon, let's go finish up this patrol!" She said, walking ahead, "y-yeah, okay..." Sam replied, putting a hand on the kissed cheek, thinking that she would never wash again.

Ahhhhh that was nice =D

I hope you all had fun in the splatfest! Due to crappy internet where I'm at currently I only got up to No-Pulp Fiend, I hope you all did well! Unless your in team Pulp, in which case, you suck! (Jk, hope you did well!)

Next chapter will focus on Kelly and her fight with Ian and Orion, it was the original plan for this chapter, but a change of plans happened, and I shot you all with the FLUFF GUN

Anyways, I'll see you next time! Which may be a bit more of a time gap because I'm still traveling, but I'll see you guys soon anyways! Byeeeee!
