What? A double-feature [knowing that's not the correct term]? What's this? And neither were in the AM? What happened? Nothing! I just REALLY love making this for you guys, and I enjoy writing it.

BTW, if any of you were wondering why Marie calls (Y/N), "Agent 4" and sometimes she doesn't, first, it's because it's probably from an in-game line of dialogue. Second, she calls him "Agent 4" during missions. A chapter or two ago was an exception, because she was worried.

Narrator POV

Both Pearl and Marina were going through (Y/N)'s phone until late last night. They even fell asleep on the couch last night. They tried so hard to find out about his friend. They checked through his text messages.

They figured the girl goes by "Two" and it wasn't her actual name.

They went through his photos, but the closest they got to a photo of another person was one taken recently. It was of (Y/N), but he was faced the other way, and someone else took the picture.

Now, (Y/N) was starting to wake up.

(Y/N) POV

(Y/N) woke up to silence.

(Y/N): Hm, I must be the first one up again.

He brushed his teeth, got dressed, and headed downstairs.

He was clearly surprised that Pearl and Marina had fallen asleep on the couch.

(Y/N): *Quietly* They must've been really tired if they fell asleep on the couch AND aren't making me breakfast. I better let them sleep. I'll walk to Inkopolis Square and get something on the way.

He started feeling around, but couldn't find his phone. He checked up stairs and it wasn't there either. He decided he'd look for it later, as not to wake up the others.

So, he left and started his long walk to Inkopolis Square.

Marina POV

Marina's eyes started flickering open. She felt like she had fallen flat on her face, much like a certain someone had done once.

She saw the time, using (Y/N)'s phone, and she was shocked.

Marina: Pearlie! Pearlie, wake up! We've got work in a little while.

Pearl: *With her eyes still shut* It's fine. We're not leaving right now.

Marina: No, but there won't be time to eat breakfast if you don't wake up.

Pearl got up once she heard that.

Pearl: Fiiiine.

Marina: Okay, Pearlie, you start making the breakfast, I'll go wake up (Y/N).

Pearl: Got it.

Marina walked upstairs, but couldn't believe he was gone... again.

Marina: Where does he keep going?!

Marina checked the bathroom, knocking first, but he wasn't there. She checked around a bit more but still couldn't find him.

Her pocket started buzzing. It was (Y/N)'s phone. She checks what it is.

Marina: IT'S HER!

----------

Two: Hey, yesterday was fun. 

Two: We should do it again some time.

Two: But not now.

Two: We have work to do, so get down here.

Two: (Y/N)?

Two: ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING?!

Two: I swear.

----------

Marina quickly rushed downstairs. One, to get the breakfast before she had to go hungry until lunch break, and two, to show Pearl.

They were both now eating at the table, after Marina explained (Y/N) wasn't there, and showing her the messages

Marina: *Worried* She keeps messaging?! What do I do?!

Pearl: Nothing. He'll either text her later, or tell her whenever he goes and sees her.

Marina: "I can see you read my messages. Answer your phone." SHE SAW I READ THE MESSAGES!

Pearl: Calm down.

His phone started ringing.

Marina: She's calling! Do I answer it?!

Pearl: No! Don't answer it!

Marina: I answered it!

Pearl put her finger to her lip.

"Two": (Y/N)! What are you doing? Answer my messages!

Marina had a really worried look on her face.

Marina: *Whispering to Pearl* Jeez. She is loud.

"Two": I heard that! (Y/N)? Answer me! Is that you?

Marina: Uh-

Pearl: Wrong number!

Pearl quickly ends the call.

Before they could say anything, "Two" started calling back.

Pearl declines the call, then puts it on vibrate.

Marina: Pearlie!

Pearl: Let's just go to work. I got our outfits out already. Let's get changed and go.

They got changed and when they were about to leave, they saw a note that read, "You two looked tired so I let you sleep. Walking to Inkopolis. - (Y/N)."

Now that they were ready to go, and they knew he was okay, they left for Inkopolis Square.

Marie POV

Marie: Why is he ignoring me?! D-did I do something wrong? Was he lying about yesterday?

Just as she was about to start moping, feeling bad for herself, (Y/N) popped out of the grate.

(Y/N): Hey, Marie.

Marie: I ought to give you a piece of my mind! Do you know how worried you made me?!

(Y/N): Wait, what's going on?

Marie: Why don't you tell me? Refusing to answer me or my messages!

(Y/N): I don't know where my phone is!

Marie: Yeah right! You left my messages on read, and answered one of my calls.

(Y/N): Marie, I swear, I couldn't find my phone this morning. I just spent about an hour walking here.

Marie looked him in the eyes and thought he was telling the truth.

Marie: Okay. I believe you. Then that means someone has your phone.

(Y/N): Yeah, but who cou-

Marie: What?

(Y/N): I think I know who it is. Here hand me your phone.

Marie does so.

Marie: What're you going to do?

(Y/N): Hang on. Let me read your messages to get a grip of the situation... Okay, I got it!

Pearl POV

They were on their way to Inkopolis Square, when the phone started buzzing after being silent for a few minutes.

Marina: What does it say?

Pearl: "Is it because of last night?"

Marina: Hu-

Pearl: Wait she's still messaging. "Am I a bad kisser?"

Pearl & Marina: What?!

Their loud screaming caused the limo driver to swerve for a second.

Marina: He said they just hugged!

Pearl: Maybe it happened during the movie?

Pearl: "I know how to make it up to you."

Marina: What does THAT mean?

Pearl: How am I supposed to know? Can't be anything good.

Marina: What if it's TOO good?

They both started blushing really hard and quickly started throwing their hands through the air, like when someone tries to get rid of a thought bubble.

Pearl: "I can send you another one of THOSE photos. Just remember to delete it afterwards, like always."

Marie POV

Marie was blushing tomato red, while looking over (Y/N)'s shoulder.

(Y/N): There we go.

Marie: That's it?

(Y/N): Yep. Leave them expecting more. Let them sit on it for the rest of the day, until I get done and tell them later. Which ever one of them took it, she's going to regret it.

Marie felt a shiver down her entire body.

Marie: She?

(Y/N): Yeah, they're both girls.

Marie: Oh.

Marie started laughing.

(Y/N): What?

Marie: HAHAhaha. Me. A bad kisser.

(Y/N) gives her a "Really?" look.

Marie: I've never had any complaints.

(Y/N): How many guys have you kissed?

Marie: *Blushing* T-that's besides the point!

(Y/N): So, none.

-Marie jumped into him and kissed him.- [If you don't get it, she imagined doing this in her head]

(Y/N) was snapping his finger in front of her face.

(Y/N): Marie? Did you pass out from all the blood rushing in your face?

Marie regained her cool look.

Marie: Whatever... Now let's get to work.

(Y/N): Hey, uh, by the way, can you record today's news broadcast for me? I can't see it since I don't have my phone.

Marie: Sure.

~~~

(Y/N) POV

(Y/N): Jeez. I get that he literally stomps you into the ground, but I weirdly didn't think it would hurt THAT much.

Marie: Agent 4, I want to thank you again for all you've done so far. I think it's time I told you about my other purpose in asking for your help... When we met, I told you I was searching for the Great Zapfish. But I'm afraid that's not the whole story. You see... Even more than the Great Zapfish, I want to find my cousin Callie. She vanished on the same day as the Great Zapfish!

(Y/N): Uh, yeah... I know.

Marie: ...Wait. You already knew?! Phew. Cool...So anyway. I'm Agent 2 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, and Callie is Agent 1. Then there's Agent 3, who's currently out with our grandpa, Cap'n Cuttlefish. They won't be back for a while... I was supposed to be protecting Inkopolis while the Cap'n was away, but then... Callie... The Great Zapfish... Sorry I didn't tell you sooner... We'd be totally sunk without you, Agent 4. I know we'll find Callie if we keep looking! Think you can see this thing through?

???: Lea... No... LEAVE NOW!

Marie: Huh? Who's there? If you get in our way, Agent 4 will mess you up!

~~~

(Y/N) was back in Octo Canyon.

Marie: That was weird. That person was in our comms. Anyways, we'll just have to wait and see if it happens again.

(Y/N): Yeah, do you need me to do anything before I leave?

Marie: *Thinking, then a slight, unnoticeable blush appears on her face* No... Oh, but just to let you know. We don't need to do this everyday. Just so long as we do this AT LEAST every other day. Since, I know you're good at forgetting things.

(Y/N): Ha Ha. Very funny... Thanks.

Marie: *Smiling* No problem.

(Y/N) leaves through the grate.

~~~

Marina POV

Pearl and Marina both were sitting on the couch with their heads laid back. So much was going through their minds right now.

Marina: That broadcast was so bad.

Pearl: I was just worried we were going to be sent another message on air.

Marina: So was I.

Marie POV - Earlier while (Y/N) was doing missions

Marie: Should I send a picture?

Marina POV - Present

Suddenly, the front door opened to reveal (Y/N).

Both Pearl and Marina's heads shot up.

(Y/N): Hey- Woah! I mean this in the NICEST way possible, but you two look awful. Did you two have a bad day?

Both of their heads went back down to resting on the back of the couch.

(Y/N): Well, I'm going to go to bed. You would not BELIEVE the long day I've had.

A low sigh could be heard from the both of them.

(Y/N) started going up the stairs, but suddenly, he threw up his finger and turned around.

(Y/N): Actually, I just remembered.

Pearl and Marina looked over at him.

(Y/N): Can I have my phone back, now?

Pearl & Marina: Huh?

(Y/N): My phone? You two have it... I texted you two earlier.

Quickly and suddenly, both of their tense looks disappeared, and they both basically COLLAPSED into relaxation.

Marina: Yeah... Here.

Marina held out his phone, to which he grabbed it.

(Y/N) just sat there and started typing something on his phone. 

(Y/N): I hope you two learned not to take someone's phone now.

Pearl & Marina: Yeah.

After a couple of seconds, his phone vibrated. He then turned his phone sideways and was just laughing.

Pearl: What are you laughing about.

He just turned the phone around to show their news broadcast from earlier.

They didn't think they could sink any further into the couch. They were so embarrassed.

(Y/N): Well, goodnight you two. You two probably need it, after how you looked this morning. I'm going to finish watching this before I go to bed.

Pearl and Marina were just left to wallow in their embarrassment.

Marina: Well this couldn't get worse.

Pearl: He could've ACTUALLY gotten a picture.

Marina: Ugh!
