The Move!

One week passes

We had all agreed to move to this new place called the Splatlands. I mean, if literally everyone else was going there, maybe we should too, to see how "fresh" it really was. We had spent the whole week packing (and helping the Squid Sisters pack).  

"I heard that we can get some fresh new hairstyles, yo!" Pearl had been talking all morning about how nice the Splatlands were. 

"Hmm..." Marie was thinking. "You know, Callie and I are only coming because we'll have to watch the Octarians' new city, right?"

"And we're going to try starting a band," said Marina

"Yeah," said Four. "But isn't Cap'n Cuttlefish  already watching them right now? You could play some Turf with us for a day or two!" Callie grinned. "She's got a point, Marie! Plus, if Octavio doesn't have the Zapfish, he can't do anything!

Oh, how very wrong we were.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The train ride seemed endless, but eventually we made it! Surprisingly, our Ranks and Levels weren't reset, and we were able to bring all our old gear (unlike when we moved to the Plaza)! Apparently, there were also these new things called Banners and Splashtags and Titles, but we could worry about that later. 

But as we were heading towards the city, something very unexpected happened: a Smallfry started squeaking at us. Wait, a Smallfry? 

Pearl let out a deafening scream. "A SALMONID! SPLAT IT!!!" 

But it just sat there and kept making its silly Salmonid babbles. I knew it wouldn't attack our group, since Smallfries are trained not to attack Octarians (because of the trade agreement), so I got closer. It looked scared.

"What are you doing here?" I asked it. I knew it couldn't understand me, but how could it have gotten so far from water? It just stared at me. But then, it hopped into my backpack. Pearl glared at it. "Don't ever trust one of those things," she said, still glaring.

"I think it's cute," I said. 

"Well...alright. Just don't say I didn't warn you when it eats your face in the middle of the night!"

When we arrived at our new apartments, we sorted out the roommates. The Squid Sisters would stay together, Three and Four would be roommates, and I was with Eight. Neither of us had much, so when we finished unpacking what little furniture we had, we still had some spare time. "Why don't we go check out that Octarian city?"I suggested. "We could check on Cuttlefish, too."

Eight agreed, so we went to the Crater. It wasn't very big, but it was big enough for the Octarians. I felt bad for the ones that were still hypnotized, but there wasn't a lot we could do right now.

"Ah! Agent 8!" Cuttlefish exclaimed. "I see you've brought your friend, too," 

Eight explained some stuff to him in Octarian, and I translated it. She said that I could be...the new Agent 3?

Oh, yeah, I guess I forgot that Agent 3 was now the captain. But surprisingly, Cuttlefish agreed with Eight that I should be an Agent too. "Well, I guess it makes sense," I said. "I mean, I know all about the Octarians and Tartar, and I'm okay at fighting," No, I was sure of this. "Okay, I'll be an Agent!"

And everything was good and happy and...

Er, for today.

Uh, sorry for the short chapter, but I am also a human being and can also get sudden writer's block...well, a new chapter is coming soon! (Hopefully.)
