Goldia's P.O.V
Goldia hates Turf Wars. Hates Inkopolis. Hates her brace. Hates Inklings who discriminate her because she's different. And especially hates herself and her shyness.
She walks with Prussia in the city of Inkopolis, by going towards the Tower. Many Inklings are in the place, taking advantage of that sunny day. Goldia stops temporarily her look on a group of friends. Four Inklings, two boys and two girls, take shellfies together. By seeing their white teeth shining, without any brace, the jealousy rises in her.
One boy notices her and begins to whisper something to his friends. The two girls look at her with worried eyes, and the other boy examines her with hostility. Goldia feels really embarassed, and turns around by blushing. Prussia tries to comfort her :
-Don't worry, Goldia. Inklings will accept you one day.
-I hope. I don't want to stay the center of attention forever.
-In the meantime, don't pay attention on them. It's all I can advise you.
She approves, wishing to believe it. Good thing Prussia is here. Goldia doesn't know what she would make without her. Both girls are friends since their childhood, and support each other in hard times.
When they finally arrive to the Tower, the Turf War is due to commence.
-So, what are the stages today ?, Prussia says. Yeah ! We have again Arowana Mall and Urchin Underpass !
-I prefer Urchin Underpass...
-Please Goldia ! Just follow me in battle, right ? You don't need to be affraid ! I'll protect you, 'kay ?
-OK. I trust you.
-That's great. So come with me. We're late enough !
Jason's P.O.V
At the "GO !", Jason starts cover the turf. His Custom Jet Squelcher seems thin in his hand. Next to him, Jessy is looking for a good place for splatting the opponents. She moves away with the team. Jason swims in his ink. He's now in the stage's center. In front of him, the area is completely blue. He goes here and covers the ground with his yellow ink. But something is wrong. Is there any blue Inkling here ?
He's almost in their basis when he feels suddently that "we" observe him. And he doesn't have time to run away because an Inkling girl with a Soda Slocher has just brought down him to the ground. He tries to free, without success. She says :
-Hope you like soda... because you'll drINK it when I'll splat you !
Jason smiles maliciously.
-I really like soda, but... I prefer the Kraken !
And, with his special weapon (he had time to load it before the ambush !), he becomes a Kraken. The girl screams and runs, but Jason splats her. Always with his special weapon, he's climbing on the wall. When it stops, he notices that he's in the passage which connects the center with the enemy basis. And he hears :
-Prussia ? Prussia ! Where are you ? Please, don't leave me alone !
He moves forward and discovers a blue Octoling, tears in eyes. She has an Octobrush in the hand, back's turned. Apparently, she's looking for a friend. Maybe the Inkling who has been splatted by Jason. This one, without hesitating, throws himself on her by shouting :
-BOOYAH !
-Huh ?
The Octoling turns around, but it's too late. Jason sticks her to the wall and points his gun on her.
-That's for you, little octo !
She doesn't try to defend herself. She just starts to cry by dropping her Octobrush. Surprised, Jason lowers his weapon. He is not used to splatting girls in cold blood. In the heat of the moment, like before, maybe he'd make it without hesitation. But now... the Octoling whispers :
-I... I'm too scared...
-Hey, there. Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you... I... I let you go.
To prove his sincerity, he goes away a little from her. So the Octoling picks up her weapon and puts herself in front of the stage's square, but keeps the look fixed to him by moving back. And the inevitable happened. At the edge of the ground, she stumbles and wobbles above the water. Jason takes her hand to put back her on her feet. They blush both.
-You... You OK ?
The Octoling squeezes her weapon. Then Jason understands he made an error when she's splatting him.
Goldia's P.O.V
-Meow ! (And the winner is... yellow team !)
Yellow team shouts with joy. Goldia makes a disgusted face.
-Too bad. They were very strong today. And the sniper had eyes of eagle...
-It's nothing, Prussia says. We'll win next time. You've gotten better, in that Turf War !
Goldia looks at the scoreboard. Seven deads. One kill. Her only kill.
-It's true. I have one kill, now.
-Great ! So I offer you an ice cream to celebrate !
-If you want.
Both teams go out of the Tower. Inktoling's look is attracted to the purple squid, who carries his weapon without a word. She goes towards him and says :
-Hey, you... with the Squelcher...
The boy turns around. He seems blasé.
-So, it's you... The Octoling who kill me in battle...
Goldia feels blushing.
-Yeah, it's me...
-What do you want ?
-I... I wanted to thank you.
The boy makes a surprised face.
-Why ?
-You... You are the first Inkling that I splatted in battle... I'm not very violent, and...
She keeps silent, scarlet.
-S... Sorry, I'm ridiculous...
-No. You're just interesting, for an Octoling...
He seems to meditate his own words, before saying :
-Do you often come here ?
-Yeah. Sometimes.
-That's right. Then we should say our names, if we have to meet again.
He offers his hand as a gentleman.
-My name is Jason. Nice to meet you. And you, what's your name ?
She accepts his hand. When their fingers touch, she feels the static between them.
-You can call me Goldia. Nice to meet you too...
(OH YEAH ! FINALLY ! Here is how Jason and Goldia met. Love at first sight and first splat, a big passion gets ready !
See ya in the next update ! SplatKisses ~💝 )
