Slappy was now in the kitchen with his mom, Catheline, and his dad, Peter. He knew they wouldn't mind Chrissy since they are making a government with octolings and inklings.
"His mother! Father!" Slappy told his parents
They both turned around to look at him after removing their vest since it was kinda cold outside.
"Slappy! How was school dear?" Catheline asked her child
"Good! And you guys? How was work?" He sent back at them
"Still trying to find an operation point but we're getting there!" Peter answered him
"So...Iv got something, or should I say someone to present you guys..." Slappy nervously told them both
"Did you finally make a girlfriend?" Catheline laughed out at him as he blushed
"N-n-no it isn't that! Just don't get upset at me..." He said as the volume of his voice lowered
"Why would we? You're scaring us..." Peter kinda nervously answered
"Chrissy you can come now!" Slappy yelled at her from the stairs
After a couple of seconds, Chrissy showed up beside Slappy.
"W-wait..." Peter said as he was looking at Chrissy's tentacles
"An octoling!!" Catheline stated with joy
Chrissy was ashamed until Cathline ran down to her and hugged her.
" Welcome!!!" She stated as she was holding her tightly
"T-thanks..." Chrissy said, blushing
"This is...unexpectedly good news...for you and us Chrissy..." Peter positively told her
"Why?" Chrissy replied, wondering what he meant by 'good news
Catheline finally stopped hugging her.
"We need more support from octolings for our new government, Slappy did you tell her?" Catheline asked Slappy, looking at him with a smile
"A little...!" He answered her, shy to not have completely talked about it just yet to Chrissy
" I am surprised to see you here...tho before we explain her more..." Peter stated, getting closer to Chrissy in an empathic way
"Were you living in Ivor dome...?" He kindly asked her
"Y-yes...! How do you know?!?" Chrissy answered in surprise
"Ivor used to work with us...he was a great friend..." He told her, smiling without noticing
"Why are you talking to the past?" Slappy asked his father, kinda worried
"He ran from us to rule the octoling government around 11 years ago...He abandoned our project of this "fused" government...since then I haven't seen him anywhere..." Peter signed
"Sorry...I haven't seen him either...all that iv heard is that he built the dome I lived in with other persons..." Chrissy told him, hoping to make the situation less awkward
"Well, I am one of them! This dome was our spy base to the octoling government, I can't believe it was still used!" He stated in a loud voice of surprise
"Wait...s-spy base...?" Chrissy asked to make sure she heard right
"Yes! It used to intercept communication from both the inkling and octoling government!" He answered, to end the questioning she had about the base
"Interesting..." Chrissy said as she stored this information inside her mind
"Anyway...would you like to stay with us? we will feed you and protect you until you finish whatever you had planned to do in Inkopolis in exchange for all the info you've got about the octo-government! Deal?" Peter kindly asked her, with a confident smile if she would agree
"Deal!" She told him as they shared hands
"So before we start, We will make dinner for you and Slappy and talk to you guys both later okay?" He told them both
"Okay!" Both kids agreed as they ran back down and sat on the bed.
"So why are you in Inkopolis after all?" Slappy asked Chrissy as he was still trying to sit down properly
"Am looking for someone named Spyke, he is a sea urchin!" She answered him
"This name, Spyke, I'm not sure personally but I'm sure my friend Jenny knows about him!" He exclaimed
"Who is Jenny?" She then curiously asked to change the subject
" She is a close friend of mine...Jenny isn't my only close friend, I also got 2 inklings "bros" as a call them! Malcom and Tech! But Jenny is the only one that is also a part of the development of the Inkocling government!" Slappy answered her with very specific details
"Could I meet her? Since you said she may know Spyke" She kindly asked
"Tomorrow I don't have any school so...sure, let's meet up with her!" He exclaimed with joy
----------------------------------------------
In the allays of Inkopolis...
The sun was setting on the town as a mysterious boy walked towards the sea urchin, busy eating super sea snails.
"Spyke?" The mysterious boy asked
Spyke swallowed his bite.
"Yes! Who are you, Devonne right?" Spyke answered the boy with a very provocative voice
The young boy was 16 years old and already working for the development of the Inkocling government.
"Yes, it's my name! I bet you know why am here...." Devonne finished his sentence, hoping Spyke would catch on
"No, I don't, so why are you here?" He stated, giggling at his face
"Do you have any extra info for us?" He angrily asked him
"You can tell Jenny that someone named Eric is kept captive by the Inkling government as we speak, am sure she will need this info" He answered, thinking of Chrissy in the back of his head
"Is he what I think he is?" Devonne curiously asked
Yes it's a 16-year-old octoling" Spyke answered him "Now go before Cuddlefish realizes that I leaked information, he has been spying on me a lot this past week" Tony told him, waving his hand in a way to tell Devonne to leave
Devonne ran off as soon as Tony waved his hand
----------------------------------------------
Tech was at Malcom's house since the end of this school day earlier this afternoon.
"I am sure of it Tech! He is a part of it!" Malcom started with a convincing tone of voice
Malcom had a huge wall with pinned papers of pictures with Slappy and his family members' names, as well as Jenny and Devonne.
"I can't believe he is working against us...he knows we're part of the inkling government more than many students in our school!! Especially after what the octolings did to my parents...." tech stated with anger and sadness against Slappy
"Hey hey it's all good Tech!" He stated while laughing crazily "He won't see us coming...! our source was right....! We will need to strike on Monday!!!"
