(Start in Splatsville Square. The gang is standing in front of the Splatfest kiosk.)

Spider-A Splatfest already? We've only been here a week!

Shumi-Yeah! They have one every month! You pick a team, and--

Hiro-They have Splatfests in Inkopolis, Shumi. So who are you gonna pick? I know you don't know the newscasters that well, but--

(INKURA puts her Splashtag in the appropriate slot and slams her fist on the Frye button.)

Hiro-I guess you do.

(A drawer in the kiosk with a yellow tee in it opens. INKURA takes it out.)

Inkura-Frye seems nice. I feel like she and I could be besties.

Shumi-Hiro's a huge Frye fan. (to HIRO) You got your Team Frye shirt yet?

Hiro-Actually, Neru and I have a bet. If Shiver wins, I owe her 500 geso. If not, she owes me.

Shumi-Which means...

Hiro-I joined Team Shiver, and I'm gonna throw to make sure they lose!

Shumi-But there's so many people on Team Shiver not throwing that it'll never work!

Hiro-Says Miss Big Man Sweep.

Shumi-Big Man Sweep!

Hiro-(to SPIDER and BRIDGETT) What about you two?

Spider-That depends. Who won the last Splatfest?

Shumi-Shiver.

Spider-Then I pick her.

(He puts his Splashtag in the slot and presses the Shiver button. The drawer dispenses a blue T-shirt. SPIDER takes it out.)

Hiro-That just leaves you, Bridgett.

(BRIDGETT walks up to the kiosk. She puts her Splashtag in the slot. She stands there thinking for several seconds.)

Bridgett-Hm...decisions, decisions...

Inkura-Which one's the most attractive?

(BRIDGETT presses the Shiver button. The drawer dispenses a blue T-shirt. BRIDGETT picks it up.)

Hiro-Really? Another one for Team Shiver? How are we supposed to lose now?

Bridgett-We don't!

Shumi-That's what you think. Oh, this is going to be so cai!

Spider/Inkura/Bridgett-Huh?

Shumi-You know. Caigaibo!

Hiro-Still Salmonid.

(SHUMI huffs.)

Shumi-Fun!

(They begin walking towards SquidForce Tower.)

Hiro-Why didn't you just say that?

Shumi-'Cause there isn't a good translation in Inkish. It's like fun but with more chaotic overtones.

(Opening theme. Cut to Museum D'Alfonsino. SHIVER and FRYE are commentating.)

Shiver-Here we are on Museum D'Alfonsino for another Tower Control battle!

Frye-The team colors are yellow and blue!

(BRIDGETT, HIRO, and INKURA are blue. BRIDGETT has the Slosher. SPIDER and SHUMI are yellow.)

Shiver-Looks like we've got a Slosher on each team. Frye, what do you think of that?

Frye-I think that I hope they have fun.
