Meanwhile, at Squidbeak HQ...

*BANG*

A target popped at the Squidbeak Splatoon training grounds.

Marie: And that's why I like to use chargers.

James: Okay, but what if, like, someone got REALLY close to you? What would you do then?

Marie: That never happens.

James: Huh?

Marie: I make sure no one gets close, so I aim from places far away or high up so no one can reach it.

James: So... no one can ever get close to you?

Marie: No, but you're very welcome to. *she ran a finger across his chest* If you know what I mean.

James: I'd be very glad to. Just tell me when you need it. *he flirted back*

Marie: I'll let you know. *wink*

Meanwhile...

Kath: For the last time, Rosie, I'm not showing you how to use an inkbrush! It's the one weapon that I don't know how to use!

Rosie: But I really want to learn it! Pleeeeease?

Kath: If you want to learn, ask Marie! Or James! Or Cap'n Cuttlefish! I'm the last person you want to ask!

Rosie: *looks down at her squidphone* Okay, but what about an octobrush?

Kath: Rosie, I swear to cod--!

Rosie: *giggle* Hee hee!

Marie: Why do I hear arguing in here?

The two agents froze in freight as if their parents caught them goofing around.

Kath: Um... uh... we were just--

Marie: I'm kidding, 3.

Kath: *sigh of relief* Oh, thank goodness.

Rosie: Marie, could you team me how to use a brush?

Marie: Like... for painting?

Rosie: No, the weapon, silly!

Marie: Oh! *facepalm* How stupid of me! *she said sarcastically*

Kath: (Cod, you are one silly inking, Marie.)

Marie: I think I have a spare inkbrush somewhere, why don't we--

*KRRZZZTTT*

???: Come in, come in, Agent 2!

The voice was coming from Marie's communicator.

Marie: Gramps, is that you?

Cap'n: My radar has picked up an octoling sighting near the HQ! Either prepare yourselves or hide from them!

Marie: How far away are they?

Cap'n: The radar says... about 3 kilometres. It's getting closer as we speak.

Marie: Roger that.

She put her communicator away.

Kath: Seems important, huh?

Rosie: Do you think they are coming after me?

Marie: Surely, they aren't... Wait, where's James?

She ran outside.

Kath: You should stay inside, Rosie.

Rosie: No! I want to see you guys fighting! I want to fight, too!

Kath: They could be looking for you! Stay here!

Rosie: Nope! *she followed Marie outside*

Kath: *sigh* You really can't keep her still.
