{Orlaith's POV}
As I step off the train, I get a much more clear view of Inkopolis Prep. It's an extremely nice building, and the campus surrounding it is beautiful. My eyes stray over to something yellow, and I run towards it. I end up behind the school, seeing an area fenced off by yellow police tape. Inside the taped area, there are a couple of police officers and a large blood stain. One of the cops must have seen me, because he stormed over to me with an angry look on his face. "What are you doing here, kid? This area is off limits." I step back. "Oh... Sorry." I have a bad history with police officers. One time, they threatened to arrest me for carrying my Heavy Splatling around Inkopolis Plaza.

I sigh and head the other way. "I wonder if anyone around here saw someone vaguely Nami-ish..." A female inkling walked up to me and grabbed my wrist. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "This building is closed until further notice... Did you not hear the announcement?" I replied, "I did hear the announcement. I'm just looking for someone..." The girl smiled and said, "I highly doubt that they'd be here of all places. Tell me more about this person. Maybe I can help." Oh, crud. How am I supposed to describe an Octoling? Maybe she's going as Mani again? I assume she's disguised as Mani. Yep. Definitely Mani. "Have you seen a female inkling wearing a straw hat, sunglasses and white dress? She has rose-gold tentacles, too..." The girl answered, "I haven't seen anyone like that. If I find her, I'll be sure to tell you." I replied, "Alright! Thank you!" As I ran towards the train station to keep looking.

{????'s POV}
I slip into a bathroom to catch my breath. "Thank goodness I didn't go with that disguise. Otherwise, I'd be dead meat..." I sigh and look in the mirror. My reflection blankly stares at me. I take off my hat and let my tentacles flow freely. I wipe the black makeup off of my face and look in the mirror once again. I stare at my tentacles and the purple marks under my eyes. "I should probably follow that brat Orlaith... She may lead me right where I want to be." I put my black eye makeup back on and slip on my hat. I hate having to dress up like an Inkling, but it's the only way to keep away suspicion. I clip on my school name tag, which reads "Natalie". I wish I could go by my real name. It would make things a lot easier. My real name... Nami.

{Isabelle's POV}
In my opinion, there's nothing more relaxing than chilling at the Café with your best friends. Nathan took a sip of his iced tea and said, "Take cover, everyone. Here comes the hurricane." I looked over by the train station and saw Orlaith sprinting towards the Café. "GUUUUYS! I HAVE GOOD NEEEWS..." I assume she had more to say, but she ran right past us. Epic fail.

"So, you met a student named Natalie who's offering to help us look for Nami?" I said. Orlaith cheerfully nodded and replied, "Yep! She says if she sees her, she'll contact me immediately!" Ellie smiled. "That's fantastic! The more people, the better!" I couldn't understand what Max said, because he was talking with his mouth full. Ellie poked his nose and said, "Do you have any idea of how rude that is? SWALLOW. YOUR. FOOD. BEFORE. YOU. SPEAK." Max replied (through a bunch of food) "Yes, mom." Ellie's face turned red and she completely snapped. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" I couldn't help but laugh. Max and Ellie...

I'm just gonna say that the two of them make a pretty cute couple.

{Nathan's POV}
"We should get going. The café is about to close," I said. Isabelle sighed. "I don't wanna leave..." I patted her head. "We can come back any time you like, y'know." Isabelle flushed a deep red and pushed me away. "Y-yeah! I knew that! Also, never touch my head like that ever again." I roll my eyes. "Weirdo. We should go, the train's about to leave."

"Knew that too!" She replied, the tone of her voice filled to the brim with saltiness.

{Natalie/Nami's POV}
I sat on the opposite side of the train, looking for the brats from behind a magazine. I was just about ready to give up, until five kids sat down close to me. Three of them looked extremely familiar.

One of them was a female orange Inkling with a short ponytail in the back.

Another one was a male dark blue Inkling with a smug look in his eyes.

The third one... was a weak and worthless Octoling Girl.

I finally found what I was looking for, and a grin crept across my face.
