Life with 8 (Splatoon 2 Fanfiction)

Chapter 3 Part 3: Time for Fun

8: *deadpan* Why didn't you tell me it was that horrible

3: ...I tried warning you. But you kept on being persistent. So I respected your wishes and took you to it

8: *deadpan* Please tell me we aren't coming back

3: Well you aren't. I on the other hand have to later

They both stay quiet. 3 tries to break the silence by small talk but fails. He sighs then walks away for a little bit. He then comes back with a Cap of Legend head piece. He then puts it on 8's head

3: Hooray, a prize

He said while making jazz hands. That managed to get 8's attention. She looks at 3 with confusion. Then she smiles at him and giggles

8: Thanks for trying 3

3: Well as they always say in gambling. Just keep trying 

Both stay silent for a few seconds. They then start laughing uncontrollably 

3: Haha. God am I stupid for making jokes like that

8: Well I wouldn't say you are stupid. In fact I find you quite funny actually. You always know how to make some bad situations into good ones

3: Well I try to at least. But I also wouldn't consider this a bad situation if you ask me. More of a traumatic experience. Trust me 8 you aren't the only one who had to deal with that their first time. Heck even I was a mess when I got out on my first day here

8: Well what happened to you

3: Well....lets just say the end result I had a few nightmares about that. It's not that I was terrified of it. It was more like I was caught off guard. 

8: Well what was it ?

3: ~sighs~ This one time while I was collecting some eggs, I decided to take out some nearby salmonids. I turned around and saw that I was face to face with a Cohawk. Like literally face-to-face. Next thing I know I got hit with a frying pan and get sent flying. Then all of a sudden Maws decides to jump out and it caught me with its mouth. Now that may sound like a normal salmon run experience to you. But apparently my teammate's saw that and decide to be assholes by leading all the Cohawks and Maws towards me.....I was splatted and revived to deal with that all by myself. 30 different times

8 tries to hold in her laughter 

3: I don't know why you're laughing. The same thing happened to you as well

8: I know. But it wasn't close to yours

She begins to snicker

3: Well glad to hear my suffering is making you laugh 8

He stands up 

3: Well jokes on them. I managed to actually beat all of them and collect the golden eggs. I intentionally threw them in the water and didn't bother respawning them. Boy were they angry

He chuckles. He then reaches for her hand to help her off the floor

3: Well I think we've both been here long enough. So how about we get going
