From the next day, I find myself with Forest at Inkopolis. He said he has something important to show me. I can't wait to see it.
He takes me to a day discotheque, what amazes me. We enter together inside, and Forest declares despite the music :

-Jess, I'm going to teach you one of the noblest and the most important sports of our generation ! A little practised sport but oh so much adulated ! I talk about...
-Hum... The dance ?
-No, moron ! THE SHIPPINGS !

I look at him as if ears of rabbit have just grown on his head.

-The... The shippings ? What is it again ?
-My dear Jess, you'll not last long in this world if you don't know that is a shipping ! Let's take an easy example...

Forest looks around us, and finally stops his eyes on two Inklings a little farther. He indicates them.

-So Jess, what can you say about them two ?

I examinate them. The boy, a brown Inkling with red eyes, seems very uncomfortable. As for the silvery girl, she blushes everytime her "friend" looks at her with a curious air. They're clearly in love one of the other one, but seem too shy to say it.

-They love each other, I notice. And can't reveal their feelings.
-Exactly, Forest congrats me. So it's time to ship them together ! By the way, the boy is Tobacco and the girl, Steelia. And their ship name, Steelacco ! Not bad, isn't it ?

I smash my head with my hand by asking me for what I'm doing there. Forest's look becomes carnivorous.

-It's easy, but I need your help, Jess. You just have to invite Tobacco to dance. I take care besides.
-Are you crazy, I protest ? I don't know him !
-And that's so ? Many unknowns invite to dance in the discotheques. You have to seem sure of you, and everything goes well. Believe me.

I think about it. I don't like being pulled in one of his crooked plans, but there... why not ? It's for a good cause, basically. Plus, I love dancing a lot.

-OK, I sigh. I'll do it.
-Oww. You're a very nice girl, Jess. Thank you !

He kisses me on the check, making me blush hard, before going towards Steelia. This one starts talking with Forest, and finally accepts to dance with him. At the second when I see them in the dancefloor, I go towards Tobacco and say with a joyful voice :

-Hey you ! Dance with me !
-What, he protests ? But...

I catch his arm with my right tentacle and I pull him at the dance floor. I hear Tobacco to push a resigned sigh behind me. I can't refrain to smile. We start dancing. At a moment, Forest winks at me. We arrange to return our respective partners the one near the other one without they realize it. And suddently, with a perfect coordination, we release them at the same moment so that they fall in arms one of the other one. They blush both.

-You... You ok, Steelia, whispers Tobacco ?
-Yes... Do you want... to dance... with me ?
-Of course ! I mean... with a great pleasure....

So, by blushing, they start to dance together under our triumphant looks. Forest and me make a check.

-Good job, Jess, he says. You were perfect.
-So that's it, the shippings ? So funny !
-Be not carried away. There will be maybe nothing, or on the contrary...

He stops his sentence of a pensive tone, before asking :

-So hmm... Jess, do you want I learn you how to ship ? We're going to make it together, and we'll have fun.
-Of course yes ! But not right now : it's my favorite song !

I take his arm, we laugh and continue to dance. I've never been as happy as at this moment, dancing with my new best friend Forest.
