I remember the day it all happened, the day my life fell apart. I lost the only thing I had. My precious pearlie, lost forever. I all happened so fast...well for me anyway. My name is Marina Ida, I'm an octoling...And, Pearlie...
I suppose I'll tell the story from the happy times.
It was a happy time. There was snow falling from the sky, me and Pearlie were happily waiting around the Christmas tree, In our pyjamas
"What do you think santa got me this year huh, Mar??" Pearl asked
"Oh maybe he got you that new gear you wanted?" I smiled, thinking about what I had got her.
"Yeah! Anyway, here you go, Rina." She handed me a turquoise Envelope, it read 'To Marina!' And had a heart on it, I blushed slightly at this, thinking it was cute.
"Thank you. Pearlie. Here, I have something for you too!" I handed her a light pink envelope that said 'To my Radical, fresh and precious Pearlie!' Mine also had a heart but I drew me and her on it too.
"Geez Rina, just looking at the envelope I already know yours is better than mine!" She frowned slightly but smiled to cover it up, she most likely thought I didn't notice. But I did.
"Oh come on now, that isn't what matters! Like, there could be some strong, absolutely perfect, confident and funny inkling that asked me to go out with them, and you know what I'd say to the one that was my ideal lover?" I asked her
"Yes...?" She asked as I nodded.
"Of course id say yes!" I saw the disappointment in her face
"Then why are you-" I cut her off
"Because that inkling is you!" I smiled at her, her face burning a slight red colour. She tried to get some words out but couldn't causing me to laugh.
"L-Let's just o-o-p-open the gifts!" She flushed, grabbing one from under the tree. It was a metallic looking rap with a red bow on it, it was messily rapped too. She handed it to me.
"Sorry I'm not very good at rapping." She apologised, but, realised what she said. "As in gifts. We all know I got those fresh rhymes." She smiled again as did I.
"True dat!" I jokingly said, throwing both of us into laughter. After this I took the box from her hands.
I started to tear the rapping paper neatly, after it was all off I looked at it, no rips. I giggled, thinking of how 'sophisticated' I was.
I looked at the remaining package, My eyes widened as my face fell emotionless from he shock. It was My old Octoling army uniform. And I meant my old one.
"Oh! I'm sorry, Did this bring back some bad old memories or something!? Oh holly carp how did I not think of this!?" She looked at me as a single tear rolled down my face, though, I just tackled her into a hug. She fell over and I smiled widely.
"Oh thank you!! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!!" I started crying tears of joy, feeling the nostalgia in my heart(s?)
"You really like it this much?" She asked, underneath me.
"Yes! Yes, I really really REALLY do!" I realised that I was still on top of her so I got off and moved back to where I was sitting. "Sorry..." I flushed as she laughed.
"Nah it's alright."
I quickly grabbed a dark purple coloured box that had a shiny golden bow on it, it was neatly sealed and packaged. I moved it towards her.
"And now for your gift!" She took it from my hands, still smiling.
She ripped the paper off, eager to see the contents. She gasped as she saw it.
