Ambur stepped out of the train that led her to this populated plaza. As soon as she reached a small circle in the center of the plaza, all of the squids were buzzing about a new channel about to come on.

"Hi I'm Pearl and this is Marina! Welcome to Inkopolis News! Yo Marina give us the deets on today!" Said this little squid she assumed was Pearl.

" Okay Pearlie. So" Marina scratches her turntable out of shock
"HOLD IT MARINA! Breaking News," " There's been some crazy kid out in the plaza this morning who has some unnatural tentacles! There's suction cups on the outside!"

"Now Pearl, don't go making fun of them!" Marina scolds. " People are afraid of her said a lot of veteran squids. They said she was taller than almost all of them!" Pearl exclaims "Pearlie!" Says an annoyed Marina. "I hafta check this out!!" Pearl says as she leaves the studio. "Uh... Pearl.....? Well.. I guess that's all we have. Don't get cooked. Uh stay off the hook?" Marina says as she runs after Pearl.
Ambur notices the little shrimp of a squid shuffle her way through the crowd making her way closer to Ambur. Marina struggles her way through the crowd with kids wanting her autograph.
Ambur looks at Pearl who is now at her feet looking up at her. "HOLY CARP! YOU'RE HELLA TALL!" Ambur looks at her, her mask making her breath feel hot against her face.
"Mmhm" she managed to say.
Pearl looked up at her and studied her every detail. "Pearlie," Marina shrieks at the smaller squid. "You can't run out of the studio like that!" She doesn't seem to notice Ambur for a while until she saw Pearl staring at her tentacles. "Hey Marina... don't you and her kinda have the same hair style?" Ambur looks at Marina who is gaping at the sight of her. Hey. Earth to Marina? Helloooo?"
"You're coming with us girlie." Marina says disregarding Pearl as she takes both Ambur and Pearl's hands and drags them back to the studio.
