{ Splatoon } My Colorful Life

The Sleepover

{Ellie's POV}
"Glad you all could make it," I said to everyone. "So... Anyone have any ideas for stopping Nami?"
"Trap her and give her a taste of her own medicine!" Isabelle suggested.
"Set up a barrier around Inkopolis?" Nathan asked.
"LURE HER AWAY WITH CANDY!" Max yelled.
"I know someone who can help!" Orlaith brought up.
"Really?" I asked. "Who are they? Can we meet them?" Orlaith shook her head. "It's late. We should do that tomorrow. So... Whose idea are we going with?" I replied, "Yours, duh." Isabelle said, "I second that." Nathan answered, "Orlaith's sounds good." Max narcissistically answered, "Mine, of course! Candy always works..." I beamed, "All right! Tomorrow, we execute Orlaith's plan!" Meeting closed!"

{Nathan's POV}
"Whaaaat? We can't all be in the same room?" I asked. Ellie replied, "Nope! This is the girls' room for tonight!" Max put his hand on my shoulder. "... My apartment is just down here, dude. That's where the dudes go tonight." I sighed. "OK..."
"Uh, Max?" I asked. "What is it, bro?" He answered. "Why is your room such a mess? I can hardly see the floor!" Max shrugged and replied, "Cleaning's for fools. I ain't no fool." I cringed. "Seriously, Max?" Max calmly swept aside some of the junk, clearing up a spot on the floor. "You can set up camp here..." As I was getting settled in, I asked, "Do you have any ideas as to who this person Orlaith told us about is?" Max replied, "Nope. Hey, I wonder what the girls are doing..."

{Isabelle's POV}
Okay, I'll admit it. This was one of my first sleepovers, So far, I like it. Ellie actually had to lend Orlaith some clothes. Turns out, the outfit she always wears is the only clothing she owns. "So what do we do during sleepovers?" Orlaith asked. Ellie replied, "Not go to sleep and play truth or dare instead! I'll go first! Isabelle, truth or dare?" I replied, "Dare. I'm no chicken." Ellie giggled and said, "I dare you to prank call the pizza place!" Oh boy...

{Nathan's POV}
"What is it?" Max asked. The voice from the other side of the door answered, "I came to deliver one pepperoni and mushroom pizza..." I replied, "Random pizza? I ain't complaining."

{Isabelle's POV}
I can't believe I actually did that. "Okay, Orlaith! Truth or dare?" Orlaith hesitantly answered, "Truth, I guess." I asked, "If you could omit any weapon, which would would you omit and why?" Orlaith replied, "When DJ Octavio sent me up here for the first time, he let me pick and test a weapon to use. I absolutely HATED the Blaster." Orlaith followed up with, "My turn! This one's for both of you!" I whispered to Ellie, "Is that allowed?" Ellie answered, "Just go with it." Orlaith continued, "Double truth! Have you ever had a crush on anyone before?" Me and Ellie turned bright red and shouted, "WHAT?!" At that moment, Max walked in with a slice of pizza in his hand. "Hey, guys! You'll never believe what just happened-" Ellie threw a pillow at his face and yelled, "GIRLS ONLY! GET OUT!" Max yelled, "OW MY FACE! MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!"

Orlaith asked, "Well? I need answers..." With a smug grin on her face. Ellie weakly replied, "Promise you won't tell anyone?" Orlaith and I nodded. Ellie quietly whispered, "I... Uh... Kinda like... M-Max.. Just a bit..." I had to cover my mouth so I wouldn't scream. Those two act like they hate each other sometimes! This is crazy! Orlaith and Ellie turned towards me, grinning. I strongly answered, "Fine! I had a small crush on Nathan when I was a little squid! That's it! Thank you and goodnight!" Ellie smugly said, "How 'bout you, Orlaith? Spill the beans!" Orlaith's smile faded as she replied, "I used to have a crush on someone... But our relationship ruined my life." My eyes widened. "...Go ahead. You can tell us."

{Orlaith's POV}
I told them everything. How I had no friends in Octo Valley, how I fell in love with someone, how he was killed trying to help me, and how my parents abandoned me for being with someone like him. Ellie sadly said, "That's horrible... I feel so sorry for you..." Isabelle didn't say anything. She just gave me a huge hug. Ellie sullenly replied, "I think that's enough for tonight. We should all get some rest." I couldn't agree more.

It's midnight and I'm still awake. All my memories kept racing through my mind, and the thought of him dying for me filled me with guilt. Ellie and Isabelle were fast asleep. I just closed my eyes and tried to remember his loving voice. Before I knew it, I was asleep, dreaming that he was still alive.
