The time has come; Inklings and Octolings were cheering and roaring in the stands of the dark arena. Isabella was sitting in the waiting room all by herself, straightening her straw boater and letting out a puff of determination.

Bella:...everyone's counting on me....I can't let them down.

Marie: Isabella?

Bella turned around and saw the door to her waiting room open up, and she saw Marie looking at her, slightly concerned.

Bella: y-yeah?

Marie: do you have a moment?

Bella: oh...sure.

Marie sat down in a chair and Bella sat down next to her. Marie let out a tiny sigh and looked over at Bella while raising her eyebrow.

Marie: where's your team?

Bella: oh....uh....well....

Marie:....

Bella: they're all busy today...so....

Marie: you're gonna do this on your own?.....

Bella:....well...yeah.

Marie:...that's not really...the best option...are you sure you can take on Calvin by yourself?

Bella: of course I can!

Bella stood up and smirked at Marie, pointing to herself with so much...Pride and courage....making Marie even more worried.

Marie:...even in the condition that you're in? You're this confident in yourself?

Bella: of course!

Marie:......you....really are one weird squid.

Marie stood up and walked over to Bella, gently poking her forehead and giving her a little smile.

Marie: just please don't push yourself too hard, alright?

Bella: *giggles* I'll try.

Marie gave Bella a nod, then walked out of the waiting room, leaving Bella alone once again. Bella couldn't help but feel a little anxious.....grasping her chest and feeling the rough thumps of her heart, but she shook her head and ignored it.

Bella:......alright.....let's do this.

Meanwhile at the Gallop Grub House, Miles was sitting at a table with a cute little suit on, while Lola was next to him and Amira was sitting across from him, with her tentacles tied up as she wore a beautiful dress. A waiter walked over to their table and handed them their menus while giving them a smile.

Waiter: good afternoon, welcome to the Gallop Grub House. May I start you two off with some drinks?

Miles: oh, uh.....can I get a Strawberry Tentatek?

Lola: mm!

Miles: *nods* and a Flingza Fruit Punch.

Amira: E-lite Lemonade please.

Waiter: alright then, your drinks will be out shortly.

The Waiter walked away while Miles and Amira looked on the meal side of their menus. Miles looked through the meals while Lola crawled on top of him to see as well.

Miles: ooh, look, deep fried garlic shrimp, Lola. That sounds pretty good.

Lola: *points*

Miles: sea peach cuisine....that actually looks delicious.
