Hey! So, the follower-flood has finally halted. I am now at over 1,400 followers; thank you all!

Now, there's not much I really want to say... So... I'm going to call it now, Pearl and Marina became agents after Octo Expansion. Pearl became Agent 5 and Marina became Agent 6. The only proof I have is the number of letters in their names.

Marina POV

Marina was chuckling to herself after the looks that were on everyone's faces as she waved to them.

(Y/N): What's so funny?

Marina: Nothing!

She said still giggling slightly to herself.

Then she actually took in what she had done. She was now blushing while sitting next to him going through the ride.

She thought to herself how embarrassed she was at how she dragged him onto THIS ride with her.

They sat for a minute in silence. Both of them seemed nervous about something.

Suddenly, (Y/N) let out a breath of air, then spoke.

(Y/N): Listen, Marina...

Marina looked over at him.

(Y/N): I don't know if you... remember, but... Do you remember when we all went out to celebrate after the Splatfest?

Marina: I mean... I remember the beginning, but the rest is kind of a blur.

(Y/N): Well... Something happened... I don't know how many of the others know, but I know that Callie knows. I just wanted to tell you myself, but uh... At the party, you and I- uh- we...

(Y/N) seemed to be stumbling on his own words. Marina was confused at all of this due to how much he was stuttering, and she had NEVER seen him get this flustered before.

Marina: (Y/N).

(Y/N) stopped attempting speech and looked at her.

Marina: Breath.

He closed his eyes, took in a big breath, let it out, then opened his eyes back up, looking at Marina.

(Y/N): Promise you won't get mad?

Marina was about to speak but was cut off by (Y/N).

(Y/N): Because, to reiterate, I don't remember any of it, due to-

Marina: (Y/N)! I won't be mad.

(Y/N) took in one last shorter breath.

(Y/N): You and I were... making out. At the party.

Marina's eyes shot open as wide as they could go at hearing those words spoken. Her face was blushing as much as it could.

Marina: W-w-w-w-

(Y/N): Great... I broke you.

Marina shook her head.

Marina: No! It's just... I wasn't expecting that.

(Y/N): Do you hate me?

Marina looked at (Y/N) with confusion.

Marina: Hate you? Why would I hate you?

(Y/N): I don't know. We were drunk and I took advantage of you?

Marina: (Y/N). Please. You and Pearl were the first ones to start drinking. I was able to see how out of control you were.

(Y/N): Then, for being the worst person you kissed. I don't know!

Marina chuckled at this.

Marina: Don't beat yourself up. In fact, you were the best one I've had.

(Y/N): Wait. You remember it?

Marina: No. I've just never kissed anyone before, so that means you automatically are the best.

(Y/N): Your first?! Ugh. That just makes it worse.

His head was in his hands.

(Y/N): Also, that means that I am automatically the worst as well.

Marina grabbed his shoulders and made him look at her.

Marina: (Y/N). Stop. I'm not angry. I'm not upset. It's fine. Or do you not want to be my... friend anymore?

(Y/N): NO! Bu-

Marina: Good. Then there's nothing we have to worry about.

(Y/N): Bu-

Marina: Nothing.

(Y/N): What abo-

Marina: Nothing!

(Y/N): ... Marina?

Marina: Yeah?

(Y/N): Thanks.

Marina: No problem.

Just then, (Y/N) looked over at something and grew a mischievous smile.

(Y/N) leaned over and planted a kiss on Marina's cheek.

She started blushing again, put her hand over where he did it, then looked over at him with shock on her face.

He merely smiled and pointed upward toward the ceiling. He was pointing at a camera.

She looked at him, appearing disgruntled. She gave him a light hit in his arm.

(Y/N): Ow!

He laughed.

Soon after, the ride came to an end. The two of them got off the ride, smiling. Marina tried to hide her blush but wasn't doing well.

While no one else was looking, Marina went over to the picture stand and bought the picture where (Y/N) had kissed her. Marina then rushed over and returned to the rest of the group.

~~~

Marina was at her desk, doing work. She laid back in her chair taking a break from the work. She then looked over at the picture she now had framed of (Y/N) kissing her. She grabbed the picture in her hands, admired it, then hugged it.

Marina nearly dropped the photo as her phone started ringing. She set the picture back down on the desk as she reached over and picked up the phone with annoyance.

Marina sighed.

Marina: For the last time, Callie, I'm not telling you what happened.

(Y/N): Uh. Is now a bad time?

Marina was shocked and embarrassed at her mistake. She quickly hung up the phone and set it on the desk.

Marina sighed then slammed her head down onto the desk.

Without lifting her head off the desk, she looked up and over at the picture.

Marina: Why is it so hard for me to talk to you now?

~~~

Elizabeth POV

Knock Knock Knock

Elizabeth: Hang on! Give me a sec!

She stood up, annoyed. She had been watching TV before she was interrupted.

She walked over to the door but was shocked to see (Y/N) standing there.

(Y/N): Hey!

Elizabeth: W-What are you doing here?!

(Y/N): What? Don't you remember? I told you we could hang out alone some other day.

Elizabeth: Yeah, but you didn't call ahead or anything, or tell me that we'd do it today!

(Y/N): What? Is now a bad time?

Elizabeth: No! It's fine, just-

She sighed.

Elizabeth: I wish you would've called ahead first.

Elizabeth then let (Y/N) and shut the door behind both of them.

(Y/N) was looking around.

(Y/N): This is your place? It's nice.

Elizabeth: Uh, yeah, how did you find out where I lived anyway?

(Y/N): I asked Veronica. Although, it took a while. She seemed adamant not to tell me.

Elizabeth: Of course... But seriously, I really wish you would've called ahead. I don't have anything planned.

(Y/N): When plans are out of the way is when you get the true experience.

Elizabeth: Okay then, Mr. No-Plan, what do you want to do?

(Y/N): I don't know.

Elizabeth: Hmm, well, we can sit here and watch TV for a little while, can't we? You interrupted me in the middle of my show.

(Y/N): Sure! Nothing wrong with vegging out on the couch.

~18 minutes later~

Elizabeth: Ah. That was a good episode.

She sat up.

Elizabeth: So, have any ideas now?

(Y/N): What? You weren't thinking of ideas?

Elizabeth sighed.

(Y/N): Then, lucky for you, I do have an idea. We can go to the park!

He said cheerfully.

Elizabeth: Ugh. Okay, grandpa.

(Y/N): Um. Excuse me? Do I look like the Cap'n or Marie?

~~~

Marie: *sneezes*

~~~

Elizabeth chuckled.

Elizabeth: Okay. The park sounds nice. There's one nearby, actually.

~~~

Elizabeth and (Y/N) were walking through the park now. They were taking in the sights.

Elizabeth: Welp. I've gotta hand it to you, this was a pretty good idea.

She said as she hit him playfully on the shoulder.

(Y/N): Yeah. I've never been to this park. It's so far away.

Elizabeth: Yeah, it's a pretty nice park. I remember going to it before when I saw it during a turf war on-

She gasped.

Elizabeth: Urchin Underpass!

She ran over toward the street, made sure no cars were coming, then crossed.

She hopped up the wall to look at the turf arena.

(Y/N) followed suit after her.

She now looked sort of disappointed.

Elizabeth: Aw, man. There's no turf war going on right now.

(Y/N): Uh, Liz? I don't think anyone turfs here anymore.

Elizabeth: Huh?

(Y/N): No one really goes to Urchin Underpass anymore. Like how it is with Inkopolis Plaza.

Elizabeth rested her head on her arms.

Elizabeth: Oh...

(Y/N) looked upset over her being sad.

(Y/N): I know! Why don't you and I have a little one-on-one here?

Elizabeth: I don't have my weapon.

(Y/N): It's fine! I brought two in case we ended up just messing around.

Elizabeth smirked and slightly laughed to herself.

Elizabeth: Of course.

She hopped down from the wall.

Elizabeth: So, what do you got?

(Y/N): Let's see. I've got... a Tentatek Splattershot and a normal Splattershot.

Elizabeth: Toss me the Tentatek Splattershot.

He lightly threw it to her, which she caught.

They then climbed over the wall and each went to a spawn point.

Elizabeth yelled over to the other side of the arena as loud as she could.

Elizabeth: You ready!?

(Y/N): Yeah! Let's go!

And so, they began.

Elizabeth started inking her base, but not too much as she didn't want to let (Y/N) take the center.

She decided to go up one of the left alleys but was shocked when a burst bomb popped right in front of her, causing her to jump back.

Elizabeth: Hey!

(Y/N): You were a little slow inking your base, don't 'cha think?

Elizabeth: Shut up!

She said playfully.

She decided to throw one of her splat bombs at the wall so it would bounce off and land around the corner.

When she did, she heard him shriek.

Elizabeth: Aww, what's wrong? Did a little girl sneak in here?

He didn't respond.

Elizabeth: (Y/N)? Come on. I know I didn't splat you.

Still no response.

Elizabeth: (Y/N)?

She sounded concerned as she went around the corner.

Suddenly, he jumped out of the ink and splatted her.

Elizabeth: You jerk! You scared me!

(Y/N): Hey! It worked, didn't it?

She looked a little frustrated as she inked the parts of her base that weren't already inked.

(Y/N): Very smart! It's ALWAYS important to fully cover your base! That's how you get the percentages that matter!

Just then, her tentacles started shining as they stood upward.

(Y/N): Uh oh.

He said as he realized what she was doing.

She activated her special, the inkjet. She was chasing after him and shooting ink at him, which he was just narrowly dodging.

(Y/N): STOP! PLEASE! I'M SORRY!

~~~

After they were done, they were walking back to Elizabeth's house.

Elizabeth: So unfair...

(Y/N): Aw, come on. Don't be like that. I won fair and square.

Elizabeth: By 0.2%!

(Y/N): It's still a win.

Elizabeth: Yeah, but I splatted you more times than you splatted me.

(Y/N): Yeah, but it wasn't decided who had the most splats, was it?

They both chuckled at this, and Elizabeth lightly shoved him, causing him to nearly fall into the street.

She quickly tried to pull him back as he righted himself, causing them both to laugh more.

Elizabeth: Well, here's my place. And, uh... (Y/N)?

(Y/N): Yeah?

Elizabeth: Thanks... I had a lot of fun today.

He smiled at this.

(Y/N): So did I.

He started walking away.

Elizabeth: Wait, (Y/N)!

He stopped and turned around.

Elizabeth: Maybe we could, uh, I don't know... Do this again sometime?

(Y/N): Yeah! That sounds great.

She smiled, and he started walking away again.

She shut the door behind her, then a smile bigger than you could think possible formed on her face as she fell down onto the couch, feeling ultimate bliss.
