Splatoon: Love Between Species

Chapter 18: The Inkopolis Ball

Beautiful sunlight shined right in front of Yumi's face.....or....at least she thought it was sunlight....The Octoling girl brought her hand up to shield herself from the bright light until it dimmed down a little. Yumi moved her hand away from her face and looked around to notice that......everywhere around her was white.....she was in a completely white area....she looked down and saw that she was standing on top of....nothing....but also noticed that her shoes were all dirty and beaten up....Yumi took a second to look at her arm to see that her sleeve was completely torn off....and her arm was badly bruised.

Yumi began to feel scared....but the fear deeply hit her when she looked over at her other arm to see that....it wasn't there.....her lower arm looked as if it got completely cut off....Yumi's thoughts began to overwhelm her too much, that is until a hand grabbed onto Yumi's shoulder, shocking the paranoid Octoling. Yumi looked over and saw Bella......but......she looked different......her tentacles were completely white and her body looked worn down and broken....Bella let out a tiny smile, and just as Yumi was about to speak, something caught her off guard.

Yumi....Yumi....Yumi!!..

Yumi's eyes slowly opened and she noticed that someone was shaking her a little. Yumi looked over a little and noticed Echo shaking her, but stopped when their eyes locked onto each other.

Yumi:...Echo.....

Echo: wake up, sleepy head. We're here.

Yumi:...w-where?....

Echo: the ball, remember? You fell asleep on the ride here.

Echo hopped out the car and looked back at Yumi before pointing next to her and smirking.

Echo: oh, and wake up Bella while you're at it.

Echo walked off and Yumi slowly looked over and noticed Bella sleeping upright, slowly breathing silently. Yumi blushed a little when she noticed that she fell asleep on Bella's shoulder, so she quickly moved her head and began rubbing her eyes.

Yumi:....mmm....

Yumi looked around the car....well.... actually it wasn't a car...it was a fucking limo, then noticed how much space was in there. She saw empty cups and bags of chips on the floor, showing that her and her friends must've had a nice time during the ride.

Yumi looked over at Bella, who was still sleeping, then slowly poked her cheek.

Yumi: Bella....Bella, wake up....

Bella: mmmmm....

Yumi: we're here.

Bella's eyes slowly opened and she let out a yawn, looking around a little before locking her eyes with Yumi.

Bella: sheesh...how long were we sleeping?

Yumi:....for...an hour probably.

Bella: *rubs her eyes* makes sense...it took 2 hours to get here.

Bella stretched before standing up and stepping out of the limo. Yumi followed behind her and the two heard their heels click when touching the ground. The two looked up at the moon as the limo drove off. Yumi looked over at Bella to see that she was still wearing her straw boater, but her hair was in a ponytail, along with her slightly green dress.

Yumi: *blushes* m-maybe we should head inside...

Bella: oh! True. Sorry, It's just....

Bella looked out once more and saw the beautiful neon lights from the city that shined brightly down below.

Bella: this place is beautiful...

Yumi: it is...

Bella smirked while flicking Yumi's forehead and turning around with her hands on her hips.
