*The sun rises on Flounder Heights, the apartment complex near Inkopolis Square. Living in one of the apartments is a young Inkling girl named Amy, also known as Agent 4. The sun shines through the window onto her golden yellow ink color. Her phone alarm goes off, causing her to slowly wake up.*

Amy: Ughhh, why do I have to wake up... ><

Amy: *gets out of the bed, and yawns* ....Welp...let's get this over with...

*Amy opens up her dresser near her bed, and takes out her usual outfit to get dressed with. She usually wears Pilot Goggles on her head, not on her eyes, a Black Hoodie, and some sneakers. Once she had her clothes on, she almost closed the dresser, only to realize she almost forgot something. She quickly opens it up, and grabs her main weapon of choice, her Splat Dualies.*

Amy: Hmm...just in case...

*After Amy got everything ready, she walked to the front door, and was about to head out before stopping.*

Amy: Alright, I gotta go to Murch right quick to check on my order.  Should be a quick run without much troubl-

 
*Amy opens the door to see a jellyfish in front of her, handing her paperwork.*


Amy: What the- What's this about? Is it my apartment payment? I paid for it yesterday. T-T


*Amy snatches the paperwork, and quickly read it.*

Amy: Ughh, let's see...law, government, blah blah, stuff I don't care abo- wait, hold on a minute....WHAT DO YOU MEAN ROOMMATE!? 0_o"

Jellyfish: *nods*

Amy: *continues reading* ...So they said they ran out of apartments? What kind of bullcrap is that? You have like infinite apartments, HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO RUN OUT!?

Jellyfish: *shrugs*

Amy: Look, I'm sorry but no. I don't think this apartment can fit two people here. You can just take this back.

*The jellyfish takes the paper from Amy's hands, and points at text at the bottom of the page.*

Amy: Huh, what is it? *reads* If I don't agree to the following terms, then they'll....RAISE MY RENT!?

Jellyfish: *holds tentacle out for money*

Amy: Your rent is already high enough....*sighs* Guess I don't really have a choice......fine, I agree to your stupid roommate contract thing T-T *signs paper, and hands it back to the apartment manager*

*Amy unwillingly signs the paper, and hands it back to the jellyfish. Once he got it back, he proceeded to bring in the new roommate. Amy then proceeds to lay down on her couch, feeling frustrated and defeated.*

Amy: Cod damn it..as if things couldn't be stressful enough right now, I have to share a roommate with some person I've literally never seen before... -n-

*Feeling frustrated, Amy looks around at her apartment. A friend got it for her a few years ago when she first came to Inkopolis. It's not the fanciest apartment of course, she could only really afford a middle-class one, but its spacious enough for her, with a living room, a small bedroom, and a mini-kitchen, but it's always been her home, and Amy felt proud of that.*

*As she reminisces about all the best memories she'd had on her apartment alone, someone knocks on the door. Amy slowly walks up to the door, but stops.*

Amy: *sighs* ...Might as well give them a warm welcome at least. Maybe they'll be nice. Hell, maybe I'll actually like living with them...y'know what? Maybe this wouldn't be so bad? Maybe I'll meet someone cool and awesome! A new friend! Yeah, yeah, ok! This is it! This could be the moment that changes my life! >:3
