~✨~

The day after the Chaos vs Order splatfest, which had comically been renamed by Goggles to Pickled Plums vs Order, was the day (Y/n) made her debut in a team.

Her team, (T/N), began to slowly and slowly get more known as time passed, which gradually increased the curiosity of Rider's team, including Rider himself, being the reason why he wanted to challenge them.

-

(Y/n)'s (E/c) eyes squinted, as she slowly strutted across Inkopolis Square, staring in disbelief as the pickled plums invaded her city, wondering if what she heard about Goggles and Off The Hook was true.

Out of the blue, (Y/n) was pushed to the side in a hurry, as a certain yellow-green Inkling chased after a screaming blue squid, which was still in swim form. Once the runaway blueberry was caught, Rider began to attempt to rip off the other squid's tentacles off.

After a while of their tomfoolery, Rider looked up, looking around in hidden embarrassment, before finally catching your eye. Undeniably, but still subconsciously, you were staring at him, which made the yellow-green squid raise a brow, and leave Goggles alone.

When the blue squid returned back to kid mode, put his clothes on, and got scolded by Rider, the former squid turned his back to you, as he began to talk to Goggles.

(Y/n) averted her gase, before heading towards Rider but stopping midway, in awkward excitement. Once you reached the dark-skinned squid, you couldn't help but blush slightly as Rider glanced your way. "....?" he had a confused expression on his face, before approaching you "Um... Why were you staring at me?"

Your shoulders tensed up, awkwardly looking back in the distance to see Goggles being scolded by Specs, who was holding the hand of another Yellow-inked Inkling (totally not my oc... anyway-)

Rider chuckled, "Heh. Guessed so....."
This was then followed by an awkward silence, before Rider spoke again "By the way, (T/R) is an interesting choice for a teammate. Not many around here."

You shrugged, "Well, gotta represent my kind, right?"

Slowly, the two began talking. As the conversation flowed effortlessly, Rider suggested, "How about a little turf war? Our teams could go head-to-head."

Smirking, you accepted the challenge, and soon the two teams were immersed in vibrant ink battles. Amidst the chaos, you couldn't help but notice Rider's skillful maneuvers and his occasional glances in your direction.

A lot of other teams huddled around the stage to watch. The Pink Team (fun fact, not many people get along with them, based on the inkling almanac for backwards cap(?)), The Blue Team, and some that (Y/N) failed to recognise.

Of course, your team won by just 0.5%....After the match, he approached you with a grin. "Not bad, (Y/n). Maybe our teams could team up sometime."

Blushing, you agreed, "Sure, sounds like fun!"

Rider awkwardly stood in front of you, almost a bit out of his comfort zone, before hugging your (taller/shorter) figure for a second, and pulling away quickly, making sure noone noticed it. After a second of him blushing madly, he decided to just run away.

(Y/N) stood shocked for a second, before deciding to leave herself.
