My fan club is sorta big.
We have 60 members.
But right now I'm only focused on last night.
Pearl and Marina are Lesbians?!
I can't date Marina now..
But I'm having a club meeting this instant!
I send a text message to our off the hook group chat.
'CLUB MEETING NOW AT MY HOUSE! COME RIGHT AWAY!' It reads.
I can't wait to talk to them about this.
My doorbell is ringing already.
I open the door and a bunch of inklings start running into my house to my huge dining room table.
I sit down at the head of the table.
"Okay, so I have a big announcement." I start off.
"I was stalking Marina and Pearl last night and apparently they were on a date. I saw them kiss each other!"
Everyone starts cheering. Some are booing.
"I knew it! I shipped it soooo much!" Two girls scream at the same time.
"EW! THAT'S DISGUSTING!" This Guy rages.
"Guys, we still have to respect them!" I point out.
"I gotta tell everyone!" Someone says and runs out the door.
"I'LL HELP!" Everyone else screams and follows that person out the door.
Oh gosh, this is going to be chaotic.
I sigh and go into my room with pictures of Marina and Pearl all over the walls.
I have all of their merchandise.
Yeah.. You can say I'm a hardcore fan.
I'll just look at Marina fan art for now, I have nothing else to do.
I hope my fan club doesn't upset Marina and Pearl..

I had a great time with Pearl last night.
Mmm Pearl- I meant, the food tasted really good um *COUGH*
"Mar, you ready for work?" Pearl asks.
"Oh um yeah!" I snap out of my thought.
We start walking to the studio and she a bunch of fans outside.
Before they can attack us, we sprint inside the building.
We then get ready and start recording.
When we finish, there's still a bunch of fans at the window.
Way more than usual..
What's going on?
Some start banging on the window while some are jumping and cheering, holding lgbt pride flags.
Two girls are holding up signs that read "#Pearlina for life!" And "SHIP IT!"
Oh no.. I think I know what's happening.
"Umm, Pearl..? Look outside.."
"Wha- OH MY GOSH!" Pearl gasps.
I'm in total shock.
"I think they found out.." I say.
"DUH! Ya think?"
Pearl starts recording again.
"YA'LL CAN STOP! PLEASE GET AWAY FROM OUR FREAKING WINDOW!! THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" She yells.
"That was a little too harsh.." I add.
"Whatever! Goodbye." She then ends the broadcast.
"Pearl!" I start, turning towards her, " What did I say about doing whatever you want on air?! We. Could. Lose. Our. Jobs!" I scream in her face.
She looks down, her cheeks flushed," I'm sorry Marina, I just don't like it when people invade my privacy. And I didn't really want the fans to find out, especially so soon..."
I inhale, " Its okay Pearl, I'm just really stressed right now because of this. I didn't mean to take it out on you."
" No it's my fault Marina, I put my emotions above our job. We could get fired because of me."
"Well now what are we supposed to do?"
"I guess act like we normally do.." I reply.
Pearl nods her head.
Without thinking, we head outside.
Oh gosh was that a mistake.
A bunch of fans trample us.
They have us cornered.
The doors behind us are locked and we can't get out of this crowd.
"DISGUSTING!"
"YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER!"
"hot dogs"
Are some of the thousands of quotes blurting out of peoples' mouths.
"Please! I'd do anything to get out of this crowd and go home!" Pearl pleads.
"Then kiss Marina." A lot of people in the huge pile of inklings say.
Pearl growls, grabs me by my shirt, and starts full on making out with me in front of almost everyone in Inkopolis square.
Some gasp and others record.
She then pushes me to the side. I'm starstruck.
"Now, let us pass." Pearl commands.
My heart is pounding out of my chest. She really just did that.
Everyone steps aside for Pearl.
She holds my hand and we start running back to our apartment.
We go inside and to my bedroom.
We sit down together.
"That really just ruined our reputation.." I sigh.
"I'm so sorry.." Pearl sniffed.
"No no no. Please don't cry.."
I hug her as she sobs on my shoulder.
"I-I wish we can just be free and not worry about the fame getting in the way.. This is the only downside of our job. Everyone has to know everything we do!" She cries even more.
"I know-"
I am interrupted by the vibrating of my phone.
Oh gosh. I have thousands of notifications.
This is all over the internet!
Everyone is posting that one video of us kissing.
Of course they have to make a big deal out of this!
"Um Pearl..? Look at this.." I hand her my phone and she cries harder.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" She yells.
I hug her again.
"It's not your fault.."
"YES IT IS! I'M THE ONE WHO DID THIS! WITHOUT ME YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THIS DRAMA!" She yells even louder.
"No. Without you I wouldn't be here right now.
I'm grateful for you. You don't have to blame yourself for everything.." I assure her.
I hug her and she cries into my shoulder. My shirt is getting all wet but I don't care. I need to support my precious Pearlie.
I hug her tighter.
"Shhh shh, it's going to be okay it's going to be just fine. We can get through anything. We'll deal with this together."

I kiss her gently to try to calm her down. It seems to work because she is starting to calm down now. Or maybe it's what I said that calmed her down. It doesn't matter as long as she's feeling better.
"But everyone knows now.. I didn't want this to happen.." Pearl mumbles.
"It was going to happen eventually anyway.."
"I don't know if this is going to work out for us, Marina.." She sighs.
"No. It will."
"I'm anxious about going to work again.. I don't want anything to happen to us."
"Nothing will happen. Everything will be fine."
"You can't see the future!"
We then sit in silence.
"I'm sorry, Pearl. I'll give you time to calm down.." I walk into the other room and shut the door.
I lie on the bed and cry.
This is going to be a difficult relationship.
I just know it.
