~5th Anniversary Special~

~3rd POV~ 

Marionette was in Octo Valley helping her father clean out the gunks and gutters from Mitsuki's Final Battle with Mr. Grizz.

"That darn bear and his fake fuzz balls, it clogged up all my gears! And that ink explosion made It ten times worse" Marionette giggled, she rolled out from underneath the Octobot and she wiped some oil off her face. "Don't worry Dad, it'll be cleaned up soon! The Motor is almost set! I dunno why you waited so long to finally clean it out" 

"I was busy getting my people back young lady! Didn't think that fur would be hard to clean out of their tentacles, and I Didn't think I would be here working with the inklings." Octavio said skeptically. "It's alright Dad, the inklings are wonderful and kind hearted cephalopods!" Octavio cocked an eyebrow. 

"Well of course you know, you married one." 

"And your granddaughter is also one." 

"Touché." 

Marionette laughed and she rolled back under the Octobot. "Also Callie and Marie asked me to deliver a message for you."

"They did?"

"Yeah! You see, there's this Grand Festival tomorrow. And she was wondering if you could run one of the Vendors at the place with Cuttlefish!" 

"Really? Me? Why?" Octavio said skeptically

"It'll be fun! Inkling and Octolings under the Grand Festival grounds arm in arm!" 

Octavio thought about it and sighed, "I suppose...I can help." "Great! I'll tell the Squid Sisters the news!"  

-----------------

Back in Splatsville, the sun was setting and Mitsuki was talking to her father about the Grand Festival 

"You have a what??!!" Adrian asked

"I have a date!" Mitsuki said. Adrian cocked an eyebrow. "Uh, since when young squid?" Mitsuki rolled her eyes"Dad, cmon, I literally saved the world not too long ago, cut me some slack" 

Marionette entered the apartment. "I'm home!"

"I'm aware of that. But you're still my babygirl." Marionette put down her bags and she looked confused. 

"Uh, what's going on?."

"Dad, cmon, I'm not 12 anymore, I can go on a proper date!" Adrian realized he was losing the argument.

"Okay do you want me to call your mother?! I'm sure she'll be against this!" 

"No! Fine!" Mitsuki pouted and sat on the couch and Adrian beamed pridely  "Ha..works every time."

"Call me for what." Marionette said sternly and Adrian screamed. "Ah, Mari, my love..Mitsuki got a date."

"Dad! You snitch." 

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" Adrian said offended and Marionette cleared her throat. 

"I'm surprised you didn't hear me, you have big ears." Marionette said and Adrian gave an annoyed look. "As if your ears aren't big as well."

"Mom, tell dad that I can date!"

"Marionette, tell Mitsuki that she's still a baby, and no cephalopod is allowed to touch her!" 

Marionette sighed. "Adrian, Mitsuki is 17 now and she's welcome to date. Now who is this boy you're taking." Mitsuki sighed. "His name is Hiro, and he's an Octoling  from Octo Canyon." Marionette raised an eyebrow with slight intrigue in her voice "Really?" Mitsuki nodded.
