When we made it to the front entrance of the lobby, I saw a flier about the Squid Sisters. The Squid Sisters are the most famous squid teens in Inkopolis. The flier had colored floral patterns and splatted neon colors.

Come and join the fun! The special Inkopolis Splatfest is happening Saturday! We squid kids just wanna have fun you know? Choose whether you're on team cat or team dog! The Squid Sisters will be performing on that date supporting this special occasion. Come on down and remember to stay fresh!

Lucas and I nodded our heads. "Team Cat"I said. "Team Dog" Lucas beamed.

We both looked at each other with competitive expressions. "Oh really? We'll settle this at the Splatfest. Team Cat's gonna win!"

"Team Dog for life!" Lucas's beamed.

The intercom came on and the music from the boom boxes were paused.

Attention all Splat Turfers, if you wish to attend one more turf war, now is your chance. The Battle Lobby will be closing in 30 minutes. Good luck out there and stay fresh!

"We have to go." I said as we both rushed into the building. There were a lot of squid kids here. Some looked a bit impatient and some looked like they wouldn't give up their spot even if they had to go to the restroom.

Waiting in line, I was getting bored by the minute. I started to play with my tentacle hair. Then I remembered something interesting...

"Fun fact, did you know that squids have 10 limbs and did you know that our human forms have 10 limbs too?" I asked.

Lucas had the idiotic grin that i hate the most about him. These are one of those jokes...

"Speak for yourself. I have 11!" he said biting his lower chin. "I can show you in battle if you want me too....." Lucas said silently snickering.

SMACK!

"WTF?! You asked for it! You need to think about what you're saying before you say it."

"AND YOU NEED TO START PUTTING SOMETHING NEGATIVE INTO EVERYTHING I SAY!" I said furious. The whole line in front of me looked behind themselves and sweat dropped.

For once I would actually love to get away from all this negative stuff. I've seen a bunch of negative things on Miiverse. First it's the squid love and now it's the...ink.

I folded my arms and turned the other direction. "Shut up don't talk to me throughout the whole time we're in line."

The line was getting shorter and people were getting less anxious. The loud and obnoxious voices of the squid kids talking were getting on my nerves. When I started to give up on waiting, that was when a certain squid kid came in.

"Out of our way, squid kids. Your ones truly, Nevaeh and Evan are here! You know the drill, so let us through."

When Evan and Nevaeh walked towards us, Evan struck a glance at Lucas and was completely silent. I looked at the both of them as if they were having a silent conversation using body languages and facial expressions. Evan then turned his straight face into an devious smirk.

As I turned and looked at Lucas as he was starting to speak, his eyes seemed...sad. He looked like he was missing something dear to him.

"Lucas....who was that you were...looking at?" I asked concerned knowing I may have made a mistake.

Lucas took a quick glance at me as if we was trying to hide something from me. "Oh um...that's the Squid Twins. They're the most popular squid kids and king and queen of turf wars. No one has even thought about going against them...not since that day...."

That day? I decided not to ask.

Nevaeh and Evan were already starting their turf wars. Riley finished her time and came out with a green hoodie, work boots, and a bobble hat.

"HEY YOU GUYS! The turf war I just went through was amazing! Check out this flier I got." Riley beamed pulling out a sparkling flier.

The flier had neon polka dots on it and had a picture of the Squid Sisters. They were coming to perform today.

Riley was cheering for joy. "I can't believe their actually coming to perform! We have to go please you guys!"

I shrugged. "Sure. It's not like we have anything else to do."

"OH MY GOSH REALLY?! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!"

"ER...UH...I CAN'T BREATHE....!"

Riley sweat dropped. "Woops...my bad."

I saw that the line had only 8 more people left. I realized that I was about to go to a turf war without a weapon.

"I'll be back in 5 minutes. Save my spot." I said running.
----------------
5 minutes later

I came back from the locker room and had a different set of clothes on. I picked a random weapon. It's at least better than going out there looking like an idiot.

"Well that took you long enough. You're late and we're probably going to be the last ones in. Is all that even necessary?" Riley asked.

Lucas stood there and stared at me...a bit too long. Riley was silently snickering at him.

SMACK!

"Shut up..."

I looked at my clothes. "Huh...I guess not..., but compared to what you look like, I'm a goddess..."

YOU LITTLE--
----------------
I then took off running towards the dressing room and changed my clothes in a heck of time. Things didn't seem any different from when I went back in. I grabbed a different weapon as well.

"Now see? Easy right? Now let's go!"
