It was a hot day in Inkopolis, yet Aloha spent that day shopping downtown. Trying on new clothes he posed infront of a huge mirror.

"Alright, you can put it on my tab." Aloha winks at the young woman as he heads out of the store. The flustered woman waving.

Walking downtown Aloha spots a certain someone. "Aye, nice look bro." Diver catches up to Aloha.

"Oh, hey! What are you doin' here?" Aloha stops in front of Diver.

"Wanna hang? Octoglasses and Straw said there's gonna be a party later at the beach, and we figured you'd would want to come."

"Oh, for sure! Count me in!" Aloha beams. "But uhh, you mind if I stop at a couple shops first?"

"Sure, we could go shopping together actually. I was hoping to pick up a few things anyways." Diver fistbumps Aloha.

"Sweet!" Aloha fistbumps back.

After a long day, it finally began to get dark. Aloha and Diver then began to head towards the beach. Bringing snacks and drinks to hangout with.

"Aloha! Diver!" Straw waves to them both.

"It's about time you got here!" Octoglasses puts her hands on her hips.

"Hey, sorry we ran a bit late. Haha." Diver rubs the back of his neck.

Octoglasses then hits the top of his head. "Excuses!"

"Wow! A lot of people showed up huh." Aloha laughs.

"Say cheese!" Straw grabs the three in for a selfie.

"Hey! You better have gotten my good side!" Octoglasses pouts.

"You have a good side?" Diver then gets punched in the stomach.

As loud music blares through the speakers, inklings and octolings all crowd around them. Dancing and chatting. Eventually it gets to much even for Aloha to handle.

Stepping out of the circle, Aloha makes his way towards the snack table. Pouring himself a drink to help calm down his headache.

"Damnit, why now..." Aloha groans.

"Hey, you feelin' okay dude?" Diver appears throughout the crowd.

"Oh yeah, I'm totally fine. Just thirsty from all the partying haha." Aloha sweats.

"Ah, I see. Okay, talk to you later! I'm gonna go hangout with some people."

"See ya!" Aloha grins to Diver. Waving him off. "...Crap."

Aloha then start to walk away from all the noise as his headache begins to grow. He has to admit... the ocean sounds very calming at this time of night.

"I might rest here for a bit." He thinks to himself, as he then sits on a lonesome rock away from the party.

Just as he was about to shut his eyes. He then began to hear mumbling not far from the rock. "Hm? What was that?"

He then lifts his head, looking around. Beginning to look for where it came from.

"Yes, sir!" Three inklings salute to a figure.

"Is that?..." Aloha thinks to himself.

"Be back here by 8:00 o' clock, sharp!" Army salutes back.

"Sir!" All three inklings bow as they then leave Army by himself.

"Hmm..."

"Hey, Army boy~" Aloha leans on the rock smirking at him.

Army swiftly turns his head, quickly regretting it.

"Why are you here?" Army huffs.

"Just poppin' by~ Why ya miss me?" Aloha snickers.

"Hardly." Army scoffs.

"Ouch, I'm hurt... anyways. What were you guys doin' all the way out here?" Aloha ponders.

"How long have you been waiting here for?" Army says confused.

"Not long- Hey! You never answered my question!"

"Training." Army walks away from him.

"Wait where you going?!" Aloha runs after him.

"Home." Army ignores.

"Have you guys been here all morning?" Aloha walks beside him, rubbing the side of his neck.

"Yes, we take our training seriously unlike you goons. I take it that you were the ones making all the noises back there?" Army asks.

"Uhh- Maybe... But, hey we were just having some fun!" Aloha argues.

"Yeah, fun. You party animal." Army eyerolls.

"So are you guys gonna be here tommorow?" Aloha questions.

"Why?"

"Just wonderin'~" Aloha grins, putting his hands behind his back.

"You aren't planning on coming back and annoying us are you?" Army looks at him.

"No! Of course not! Who do you take me for?" Aloha fakes sobs.

"Alright, just do not interrupt our training." Army silently waves goodbye.

"Wouldn't dream of it!" Aloha waves back.

As Army leaves Aloha begins to think himself. "Tommorow with Army huh... Oh wait! I totally forgot I left the party without saying anything! Ehh... I'll just leave them a text I guess. I'm sure they won't mind, right?"
