The ex-soldier was never really a fan of concerts. They were loud, dark, a little too cramped for her liking- but the expression on her girlfriend's face made it all worth it.
"Hiro-chan!" Maya squealed as tears of joy streamed down her cheeks. The Octoling buried her face into Hiroko's chest and hugged her tightly. "I think this might be the best night of my life!"
The screams of the crowd were deafening as Off the Hook finished their last song of the night, Into the Light. Pearl and Marina waved to the crowd and left the stage, hand in hand. Hiroko held Maya tightly as she scanned the audience for her third and fourth wheels. Her eyes landed on a tall, yellow Inkling a little ways away who was lifting up a smaller Octoling girl in her arms. Hiroko snickered, causing Maya to pick up her head and gaze up at her.
"Lemme guess, they're messing around again?" Maya giggled.
"Of course they are. Let's go get them." Hiroko replied, her expression gentle.
The green Inkling took her girlfriend by the hand and parted through the crowd to reach the two cephalopods in question.
"You guys ready or what?" Hiroko grinned.
"Nah." The tall yellow Inkling snickered. "I don't want this moment to end! Right, Ellie?"
"Yeah!" Elise squealed. The glow necklaces on around her neck jingled together as Kai swung her around in her arms.
"Fine, I guess we'll leave without you then!" Hiroko smirked as she and Maya began to head outside the concert hall.
Kai gasped a little bit as she held onto Elise a little tighter, and began to walk after them.
Finally outside the madness and into the lobby, the four girls decided to buy a mountain of concert merchandise before heading home. T-shirts, posters, and extra glowsticks filled up the limited edition tote bag that Kai slung over her shoulder.
Elise took her sister's hand, while Hiroko took Maya's other hand. Not wanting to be left out, Kai quickly took Ellie's hand and grinned.
"This was a good idea!" She exclaimed dreamily.
"Right? Off the Hook is the best!" Elise agreed. Contented, the orange Octoling began humming her favorite song from the concert.
Maya giggled. She looked over at Hiroko, who gave her a warm smile in return.
"I know what you're thinking." The green Inkling grinned.
"What is it?" The pink Octoling replied.
"You're happy that our family's back together again."
"I can't get anything past you!" Maya burst out into a fit of laughter.
The four girls walked together hand in hand, talking and joking without a care in the world. As they finally managed to maneuver their way through the venue, the cephalopods were met by the light of the full moon. The Octoling twins squealed with delight as they shared a look of mutual excitement.
"Wait, this is perfect!" Elise exclaimed. "Let's all sing it together!"
"Right here?" Kai complained.
"Why not?" Hiroko laughed.
"Okay, on three okay?" Maya glanced over at the other three girls, who nodded in agreement. "One, two-"
"Baby it's alright, step into the light!"
