Its seems as if weekends were never quiet in the twins' household. The smell of fresh popcorn and sugary candy wafted through Maya and Elise's townhouse as the two girls excitedly ran around trying to get things ready for themselves and their two guests.

"Lemme guess, you picked a rom-com for tonight, didn't you?" Glaucon jeered.

Elise giggled and shot finger guns back at her from across the living room. "You guessed it!" She laughed.

Maya rolled her eyes as she brought a massive bowl of popcorn over to the coffee table. "That's all she watches, I swear! And Dia, too! Right?" She looked over at the baby blue Inkling on the couch, only to be met with an awkward silence. "Dia? You're not gonna fight me on that? Dia?' She said a little louder.

All of a sudden, the Inkling in question sprang to life. She rubbed her eyes a little bit before replying.

"What...? No, rom-coms are cool! But I ..." Dia yawned.

Her train of thought was interrupted by her girlfriend, who was doing her best to stifle a snicker.

" What?" She grumbled.

"You were totally sleeping just now!" Glaucon laughed. She leaned up against Dia's shoulder, only to be playfully pushed away.

"Oh stop!" Dia giggled. "Anyways, yes I love rom-coms! But I like other stuff too! Just not horror-"

Maya gasped and held her hands to mouth. She flipped her tentacles in mock-offense and took a seat next to Glaucon.

"I can't even look at you right now!" The pink Octoling teased. "You're into horror, right Glauc?"

"Sure?" The lavender squid replied quickly.

"Good~!" Maya giggled. "Dia, you can hang out with Ellie over there!" A cheeky grin spread across her face.

"Fine, I will!" The baby blue Inkling retorted playfully.

Right on cue, Elise finally came over to the couch, her arms filled with chocolate and other sweets. She tossed a blanket over their shoulders grabbed the remote to turn on the tv.

Just as Elise started to whisper some spoilers to Dia about the movie, she stopped mid-sentence as she noticed the title screen of the dvd.. Spread across the tv wasn't the corny movie she picked out earlier, it was Night of the Living Kraken. Elise sprang up from the couch and let out a massive groan as she faced her sister.

"You switched the dvd's, didn't you?"
