S3C Chapter 39: Home Turf

Shiver POV

Frye, Shiver, Big Man, and (Y/N) were walking the streets of the Splatlands after having finished a Turf War match.

Shiver was walking pompously at the front while Frye was walking on top of guard rails lining the road. Big Man was just calmly enjoying the smoothie he grabbed after the match.

(Y/N) trailed alongside them as they all talked to each other as they approached the train station that would take (Y/N) home to Inkopolis and the other three home to Splatsville.

Shiver: Do you really have to go home today? Why not stay the night in Splatsville?

Frye hopped down off of a nearby bench at the sound of the idea.

Frye: Ooh! That's a great idea! Why let this awesome night end here?

(Y/N): Sorry, but I do have to head home tonight.

Shiver: Oh come on. She's not going to be upset if you don't come home tonight.

(Y/N): I'm... pretty sure that would worry most people if that happened to someone they expected to come home.

Shiver: Fine, then just let her know first. Problem solved!

(Y/N): Thanks for the idea, but it's not a big deal. I'll stay the night some other day. Besides, I'll be in the Splatlands tomorrow anyway.

Frye: Can't go one day without missing us, huh? We understand.

(Y/N): Well, yeah, seeing you three is cool, but I'll actually be coming for Off the Hook's show.

Big Man suddenly spit out a bit of his drink at (Y/N) saying that.

Shiver: Off the Hook's... what?

Big Man was trying to shake his head and fins "no" behind Shiver and Frye to get (Y/N)'s attention, failing to do so.

(Y/N): Off the Hook's Splatlands show? They'll be in the Splatlands to give a performance. It's been announced for a little while now? They invited me since I missed most of their world tour. You really haven't heard about it?

Frye looking angry, but was trying to stop herself from blowing up. Shiver as well stood there with a glare as she retreated behind her fan.

Shiver: No. Frye and I definitely haven't.

She said while glaring back at Big Man for a moment, worrying him, before she looked back forward at (Y/N).

(Y/N): Well, shoot, my bad. If I have any free time after the show, I'll try and stop by and hang out with you three, but I was also planning on hanging out with them after the show for a while too.

Shiver held herself together while Frye was angrily typing on her phone in the background.

Shiver: That's fine. Well, we can't win 'em all, I guess. Then we'll see ya for tonight, and enjoy the show.

(Y/N) smiled, thinking that they were taking it surprisingly well, especially Frye with how she usually would get very angry at anything that involves Inkopolis overshadowing the Splatlands.

(Y/N): Thanks! Well, this is my train. I'll catch you three later.

He said while waving back at them as he boarded the train.

Shiver waved him off with her fan and a smile with her eyes closed for her happy face.

After a moment, the train sped away in the direction of Inkopolis, leaving the trio in the train station waiting for their train to Splatsville.

Shiver's eyes opened to tiny slits as the train left, turning her happy expression into the upset glare once again that she really felt.

Shiver: Frye?
