{Nathan's POV}
I ran downstairs and saw my parents lying on the ground, injured and unconscious, covered in magenta ink. Octarian ink. "Mom...? Dad...? Are you guys ok?" I whimpered. There was no response. I noticed that there was something lying on the floor next to my parents. It was a vaguely familiar-looking straw hat. The same hat that Mani girl was wearing a few days ago. I immediately ran and grabbed my phone and called two people- Isabelle and 911. Isabelle and her dad burst through the front door about fifteen minutes later. "NATHAN! WHAT HAPPENED?!"
{Isabelle's POV}
"...And you found this straw hat that you think belongs to Mani nearby?" I asked. Nathan nodded. "I hope my parents are ok..." At that exact moment, 911 filtered into the house.
"We don't know yet, kid. They'll be hospitalized for about a week or so." Nathan's face fell. "O...ok..." We both walked out to the waiting room. My dad, Ellie, Max, and (surprisingly) Orlaith were all waiting for us. "Are your parents gonna be ok?" Ellie asked. Nathan sadly replied, "Dunno." Max yelled, "WHY DO THE OCTARIANS ALWAYS TARGET YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, NATHAN! IMMA KILL ALL OF 'EM, EXCEPT ORLAITH 'COS SHE'S OUR FRIEND-" Ellie covered his mouth. Orlaith asked, "An Octarian attacked your parents?" Nathan replied, "Yeah... I found this near my parents..." He held out the straw hat. Orlaith's eyes widened. "I-I've seen this hat before... Whose is this?" I replied, "A weird girl named Mani." Orlaith's eyes got even wider. "Th-Tha-That name... That was..." Nathan asked, "What? What is it?" Orlaith squeaked, "That girl was Nami." Nathan, Ellie, Max and I all yelled "NAMI?!" Ellie said, "Of course... It all makes sense now! Nami wanted to catch you two, so that's why she poisoned the punch a few days ago!" Max replied, "But her plan backfired! And why would she attack Nathan's parents?" Orlaith shook her head. "No clue."
{Orlaith's POV}
It's about 1:00 a.m. and Isabelle's dad is driving us all home. "So your name is Orlaith, eh?" He asked me. I replied, "Uh... Yes, I'm Orlaith. And before you ask, yes, I am an Octarian." Isabelle's dad smiled. "I've heard a bit more about you. For example, you ambushed my daughter and her best friend at the skate park and you nearly killed Nathan on Splatfest." Flustered, I replied, "Well, I've moved on! I'm no longer a foe! I'm no longer a pawn of DJ Octavio, my old leader. I'm an independent Octoling now, mmmkay?" Isabelle's dad laughed. "Alright, I believe you. So where do you live? I'll drop you off." I replied, "Uh... The same apartment building as Max and Ellie. Yep. Except I live on the rooftop." Isabelle's dad said, "Alright. It's just up ahead." I looked at the backseat, where Max, Ellie, Nathan, and Isabelle were. Max and Ellie were listening to music together, and Isabelle and Nathan were sitting close to each other, asleep. I giggled a bit. Under my breath, I whispered "Isabelle and Nathan are lucky to have each other."
