The 2 Rival Teams

The Cake and the Army

Another Turf war lost. Nikan walked out of the tower into the bright sunlight just as an girl inkling obviously on level one brushed past him. Stupid Carbon roller inkling! She had splated him several time without even trying! His team lost repeatedly as their best player kept getting splatted! "I need to cool off" Nikan Mutters to himself. He strolls up to Crust Seans food truck.
"Hey Sean." He says trying to not sound mopey.
"Whats kracken Squiddo?" Sean salutes at him. "What will it be?"
"humm," Nikan looks at the menu. "How about a crusty seanwhich and a Sub-up Apple?"
"of course squiddo! two tickets please!"
Nikan opens up his wallet to reveal.........
Nothing.
"uhm," He tries to bargain. "Could I pay you back tomorrow?"
Sean shakes his head "Sorry Kid! No ticket, no order!"
He hung his head. "Thats ok, See ya."
Nikan drag himself toward the tables. "I really wanted something to drink to..."
A light voice interrupts his thoughts. "Seems like you have fallen into some deep water there~" He turns to see a inkling eating a piece of strawberry cake. Her Carbon roller leaning against the table. He immediately recognizes her.
Nikan points accusingly at her "Its you!!"
She smiles, Unfazed "Thats right, its me." The inkling sets down her fork. "But who are you?"
Nikans face starts heating up. "I'm the areospray you splatted several times!!"
The inkling girl pauses, as trying to remember. "Oh that was you?"
His anger starts to boil over, "Yes that was me! " He sits down across from her. "Do you not recognize me?"
"Well," She tries to cut a strawberry in half with her fork. "I wasn't really paying attention." She picks up the strawberry and pops it into her mouth. "I never really do."
Nikan's anger slowly fades. "How?"
She smiles and giggles under her breath. "I start thinking of food thats all"
"Food?"
"Yes! Especially cake. After that last match I just couldn't wait until I could eat this masterpiece!" She says, addressing the cake.
And as if on cue, Nikan's stomach growls loudly. He feels the heat rush into his cheeks. But the Girl ignored it and pushes the slice of half eaten cake towards the inkling. "My name is Akara. Nice to meet you."
Nikan gratefully takes the plate. "I'm Nikan. Nice to meet you too."
