Intro:

(Azazel's POV)

My eyes began to flutter open. The sun was brightening up the day, through the transparent clouds in the sky.

My voice still groggy from waking up...

Azazel: Ugh... Wha' happened? Where am I? Why do I feel heavy?

I looked around, remembering what had happened the night before. I saw all five of the girls laying around me. Their sleeping bodies keeping me trapped on the couch. I just looked at each of them, then suddenly looked up, and spoke with a monotone voice.

Azazel: I forgot to turn my pimp game off before going to bed... And woke up covered in bitches... (I really hope none of them heard that.)

I then chuckled to myself.

Azazel: (Okay, now time to try to get out of this mess.)

I looked around, and I had a great idea.

I started trying to slither my way downward.

I didn't want to wake any of them up, I wanted to be able to have my food in a way that didn't require a straw. First, I tried to get Marie and Marina to rest their head on each other, as I slithered down.

Next, I tried to hold Callie, Pearl and Juvia's heads up lightly. Once I did that, I set them back down on the couch.

I was free...

Azazel: Finally!

Marie: Mmm...

I turned around, hoping I hadn't woken Marie up.

Marie was still asleep, and she was smiling.

Marie: Azazel... Quiet down... You're going to wake up Callie.

I was now whispering.

Azazel: Does she know what's happening, or is she dreaming?

I decided to just ignore it, and tip-toed my way to the kitchen.

Azazel: You gotta beat the rush hour.

I then grabbed myself some food, but sadly... the smell of food woke someone up.

Callie raised her head up, sniffing the air.

Callie: Ooh, do I smell food?

She had this face on.

I just looked down in defeat.

Azazel: Oh Goddamn it, food! Betrayer!

Callie: Me want. Me want. I'll also take the food.

Callie said as she started rushing to the kitchen.

I quickly grabbed my plate of food, and held it above my head. Callie, meanwhile, was trying to jump up, and take it out of my hands.

Azazel: Dammit, Callie! Get your own food!

Callie: No way! Then I have to wait for it to be done, while there's a nice and ready meal right in front of me!

Azazel: Fuck! Fine. Take it. I'll make me some more.

I set the food down onto the table. I started making me another meal, while Callie started chowing down.

I finished making mine after a bit. Problem is, Callie was still picking bits off of my place, after she finished hers. I decided to just let it be.

Once I finished, I went upstairs to go take a shower.

After I finished, I opened the door to reveal Callie and Marie going through my clothes.

Azazel: What the hell are you two doing?!

Marie: We're picking out a fresh outfit for you.

Azazel: Callie! You woke Marie up just so you two could peep on me, while I was naked?!

Callie: What? No. I wouldn't wake Marie up for that. She just heard the shower turn on, and jumped up, excitedly.

Marie hit Callie after she said that.

Marie: And besides, you're not naked. You're wearing a towel.

Azazel: Only a towel!

Marie: Not like the goods are on display.

She said that quietly, but I still heard her.

Callie: *Under her breath* I can fix that.

Azazel: Can one of you just hand me my clothes?

Callie: Sure.

She ran up and handed them to me. I took the clothes and closed the bathroom door behind me.

Callie: What?! You're changing in there?

Azazel: Are you staying out there?

Callie: Oh ho ho. I'd like you to tell me how I'd get a good look if I wasn't.

I could hear Marie hit Callie on the other side of the door.

Marie: We're leaving, now.

I waited to hear the door shut. Then peeked out the door to see, they were gone.

(Marie's POV)

Callie: Aw, come on, Marie. The show was just about to start.

Marie was dragging Callie by her ear. Much like this...

Marie: Honestly, Callie, do you have no decency?

Callie: Hey, just because you're too afraid to make a move, doesn't mean I am.

Marie was blushing a bit.

Marie: H-honestly, Callie, I h-have no idea what y-you're talking about.

Callie was smiling, still looking she had a bit of pain, by being dragged by her ear.

Callie: SUUUUuuuure.

Callie started sniffing the air.

Callie: There's food!

Callie started rushing ahead of Marie, towards the kitchen.

When they got there, Pearl, Marina, and Juvia were eating breakfast.

Callie: Food!

Marie: Callie, you already ate a meal and a half. You don't need anymore food.

Callie: Aw.

Marina: Do you want any food, Marie?

Marie: Sure, I could eat.

Marina pointed Marie to the pantry that held everything she needs to make her breakfast. Marie, of course, made tamagoyaki, grilled fish, miso soup, rice, and green tea, and started eating.

(Azazel's POV)

I went downstairs, now fully dressed, to see the five girls.

Marie: See? I told you we'd get you a fresh outfit.

Azazel: Well, when you're right, you're right. I look good!

Pearl: Calm down there, squiddo.

Azazel: Do these pants make my ass look big?

RaveDogg: No homo.

I said as I turned around.

Pearl, Marina, Marie, Callie, and Juvia started blushing.

Callie: Is that a bad thing?

Marie elbowed her, wiping the smile off Callie's face.

Callie: Ow.

Azazel: So what's the plan for today?

Pearl: Well, Marina and I have work today.

Marie: Don't look at me, I need to get started on getting our gig together.

Juvia: And I promised to help out Marie as well.

Me, realizing what that meant, looked over at Callie. She was smiling.

Callie: Yep, just you and me today!

I looked back to Marie, pointing at Callie.

Azazel: I don't trust that smile. I make that smile.

Marie: I'd love to help you out, but I'm busy today.

Marie then got closer to me and whispered something in my ear.

Marie: If Callie starts acting a little, much, call me, though.

---

We were all in the Square, now. Pearl and Marina went to work; Marina looked a little worried, leaving me with Callie, though. Marie and Juvia waited until no one was looking to go to Octo Canyon.

Azazel: Okay what are we going to-

Callie: Let's go to the Shoal!

Azazel: Wha? Okay.

I said as I was already being dragged by Callie.

We played some of the games for a while. Callie got really angry at the claw machine, and I had to calm her down, since she was screaming words like, "This is rigged" and such.

I did it for her, and got the stuffed animal she wanted. I could see that she was feeling a mix of happy, because she had the stuffed animal now, and anger that I got it so easily.

Azazel: It was just luck.

I gave a nervous chuckle.

Callie: Sure.

After a while, we were done there. We decided to play some tricks on some of the people in the Square. We tied a coin to a string, and waited for an Inkling to go for it. This one male Inkling tried to grab it, but Callie and I had pulled the string a bit. He tried grabbing it again, but we pulled the string again. This went on a couple more times until, the Inkling had unknowingly walked into Sheldon's weapons shop. The worry on the Inkling's face was ever-present. As he now was forced to listen to Sheldon's ramblings.

Callie and I were now cracking up at this.

After dicking around with some people, Callie wanted to go shopping, while I was left to hold her bags, hold what she had gotten from the Shoal, and answer every time she'd ask, "Do I look good in this?" or "Do you think this would look good on me?"

After this went on for a while longer, I felt relieved that I wouldn't have to hold all the stuff she had bought.

Azazel: (Damn. Never underestimate how much a rich person can buy.)

Callie: Hey, from what I read, you do a lot of Grizzco jobs. Why don't you buy me something to eat?

Azazel: I'm sorry, but are your pockets that deep?

Callie then decided to just give me puppy-dog eyes.

Azazel: Must... Resist... Remember training... Fine.

Callie: Yay!

Azazel: (Too much cuteness!)

I bought Callie some food from Crusty Sean.

Azazel: (Of course she chose the table with the umbrella. Is it just the executive table?)

---

(Callie's POV)

I sat down.

Azazel: Your food, m'lady.

I said that as I was handing her the food.

Callie: Ah, yes, quite thank you. 

We both laughed at this.

We talked for a while, enjoying each other's company. Until, an Inkling came up and tapped Callie on the shoulder.

Inkling: Um, excuse me, miss, but are you Callie? From the Squid Sisters?

This got the attention of a lot of the other Inklings around. Suddenly, Callie was being swarmed by all of the fans. They were all trying to get a photo of her.

Callie was starting to look  really flustered.

I quickly shoved past them and grabbed Callie's hand, and quickly started pushing through the crowd.

We were running from the mob of people for a while, until we hid behind a corner.

Azazel: Are you okay?

Callie: Yeah, it's just... I can't take being mobbed by a ton of people.

Callie was sitting down holding her knees.

Callie: I love the support from my fans and all. I just can't take it. Them all just pushing and shoving everyone, and just to get pictures of me.

Callie: (Don't cry, Callie. Not in front of him.)

But little did she know, she would end up shedding a tear. I took a knee in front of Callie.

Azazel: Take off your jacket, and hand me your beanie.

Callie: Huh?

I was taking off my jacket.

Azazel: I'm going to put on your jacket and beanie, and lead them away, while you put on my jacket, put up the hood, and get to Octo Canyon.

Callie nodded her head. She took my jacket and threw up the hood.

I gave her a quick hug, to which she gladly accepted.

I, now wearing Callie's jacket and beanie, ran off, away from the Square.

Inkling: Hey! There she goes!

Suddenly, I was being followed by a crowd of Inklings.

Callie: Thank you.

Callie then snuck to Inkopolis Square, and went through the grate to Octo Canyon.

She arrived to Octo Canyon.

Marie: Oh! Callie, you're back. Wait. What the hell are you wearing?!

---

(Azazel's POV)

Azazel: Phew. I think I lost them.

It was late now. I walked back to Inkopolis Square, to wait for Pearl and Marine to get off their shift.

After a bit, they came out, along with Juvia, who had finished helping out Marie. They were talking to each other, then they noticed me standing there.

Pearl: Yo.

Marina: Um.. Are you wearing Callie's hat and jacket?

Juvia: What happened?!

Marina and Juvia sounded flustered, and Pearl's look matched the sound of their voices.

I, who was speechless, clapped my hands together. I gave off a nervous laugh.

Azazel: Welp! I've found out that I look damn good in pink.
