A New Way

New Experiences

Upon landing at their spawn, the game begins. 8, trying to ink turf, heads left while the others head for the middle. 3, with her Hero Shot Replica, is able to splat the roller while a Mini Splatling on their team gets the dualies.

They are doing good until an inkbrush wipes them out except for 8, who stayed back and inked. Having filled his special, he activates his Ink-Jet and gets a team wipe.

With only one minute left now, they spilt up to quickly advance into enemy territory and recover the middle, earning a victory.

"You did a good job, 8. Want to play some more?" 3 asked after the match.

"Sure," 8 responded.

After a few more matches, a couple of losses, and 8 getting to level 4, they decided to stop.

In the Square, on their way out, the splatling user approached 3, "Hey, you did pretty good. Can I have your name so we can play together again?" He asked.

"Sure, it's Lizzy," 3 responded.

"Thanks, mines Kyle," Kyle said. "See you around."

"See you."

"Hey, 3?" 8 asked when 3 caught up.

"Yeah, 8?" Lizzy responded.

"You said you have a name?" 8 asked as he sat down at one of the outdoor tables.

"Oh, yeah, my real name is Lizzy. Do you remember your's?" Lizzy asked.

"No," 8 responded. "But now that I think about it, Ozzie feels like it's my name."

"Well then, Ozzie, what would you like to do?" Lizzy asked.

"I don't know, do you have any ideas?"

"Well," she looked around a little bit, "there's an arcade over there, wanna check it out?"

"Yes."

In the Shoal, a popular arcade in Inkopolis Square, Lizzy and Ozzie found a two-player Squid Racer machine and we're instantly addicted. It wasn't until 8 pm that Lizzy noticed the time.

"Oh carp, it's getting late, Ozzie, we should go home," Lizzy said, pausing the game.

"Oh come on, I was just about to win," Ozzie complained.

"Come on Ozzie, we can come back another time," Lizzy said, almost dragging Ozzie out.

Once they got home, Lizzy ordered pizza and decided they should watch a movie.

When the pizza arrived, they started the movie and ate.

In the morning, Lizzy awoke on her couch, something she was somewhat familiar with. What she wasn't familiar with was being well-rested after sleeping on her couch.

It was then that she realized her head was on someone's shoulder. She instantly jerked it away to look at who was sleeping on her couch with her. "Oh, it's just Ozzie," she thought. "We must have fallen asleep watching the movie." It was then that she looks closer at him, "you know, he looks cute when he slee-WHAT ARE YOU THINKING LIZ-but with that revealing outfit," she starts to blush, "and him asleep, STOP IT LIZ, stop it, we are just friends, no, coworkers, no need to get worked up about it."

Now Ozzie wakes up, "Oh, hey Lizzy, why are your cheeks pink?" He asked, noticing her blush.

"I don't know," she said, turning away to hide her face, but she was blushing even more.
