First, thank you all SO much! A lot of the rankings for this story are SUPER high! I didn't expect this story to be doing so well, especially since this is only the sixth chapter, and with this being the first story I've written. It's so good seeing the comments from people saying they like the story. Now without further ado, let's begin.
Also, just remembered, these songs that I show along with the pictures at the top of the chapter, I do that because I was listening to the songs while writing the chapters, because I really like the songs and they either kind of fit with what's happening or set the tone.
(Y/N) POV
(Y/N), surprisingly, was the first to wake up in the morning, it was still dark outside.
After a couple of minutes of him trying to go back to sleep, he got a text message. Realizing that sleep wasn't happening, he checked his phone to see a message from "Two." Him, knowing it was Marie responded.
The messages read:
----------
Two: Hey, when you wake up text me.
(Y/N): I woke up early, today. What do you need?
Two: It's not that important.
Two: After your hard work yesterday, I thought we could deal with an easy day.
(Y/N): You mean I could deal with an easy day.
Two: My job's harder than it looks.
(Y/N): Yeah, trying to think of a pun to fit the current situation is hard.
Two: Exactly.
Two: Anyways, I thought we could just hang out today.
(Y/N): Sounds great!
Two: Cool, I'll pick you up in a little while. Where do you live?
(Y/N): Actually, I'm staying with friends. Here's the address...
----------
(Y/N): Well, I better take a shower and get ready.
So he did.
Pearl POV
Pearl was up now, but she was surprised when she entered the kitchen.
Pearl: Marina? What are you doing up so early?
Marina: I got up early to make breakfast.
Pearl: Hold it!
Marina: What?
Pearl: I see two bowls.
Marina: Of course. One for me, and one for (Y/N).
Pearl: How do you know he wants cereal?
Marina: Why wouldn't he?
Pearl: Because I saw the way he liked the WARM breakfast I made yesterday!
Marina: Oh! Okay, then we'll bring him both, and see which he prefers. Although, it'll take you a minute to make yours, so he'll probably be full by the time you even get finished.
Marina then started walking away with the cereal, towards the guest room.
Pearl started rushing to make the food.
~~~
Marina was just about at the door, when she suddenly heard footsteps getting closer. She turned to see Pearl rushing over with the tray of food.
Quickly, they both barged in through the door to see he wasn't there.
They didn't hear the noise, but they noticed the sound of the shower turning OFF. They tried to quickly set the food down and leave, but they both stumbled over each other and fell onto the floor, landing on each other. The sound of a door opening could be heard. Both Pearl and Marina could both be found slowly looking up towards the doorway, blushing. Then they saw it...
He was wearing a towel.
(Y/N) was blushing a lot, not as much as them, and quickly shut the bathroom door in front of himself.
(Y/N): What are you two doing in here?!
Pearl and Marina were trying to get up now, both still blushing.
Marina: W-we were trying to bring you breakfast, b-but didn't hear the shower running.
Pearl: We b-brought breakfast.
Pearl gave a slight/shaky chuckle.
(Y/N): Really, thank you both, but still, can you guys leave now? I still need to get dressed, and my clothes are out there.
Pearl: We don't mi-
Marina hits Pearl with her elbow, then starts shoving Pearl out of the room.
Marina: Pearlie! Yes, we're going now.
(Y/N) POV
(Y/N) could hear the door out there shut. He made sure to peek out first, to make sure they were gone.
They were.
He then left the bathroom and got dressed.
He saw the DELICIOUS looking breakfast they had both made him.
After eating it all, he headed down stairs to clean the dishes.
When he got down there, he noticed they were both just sitting on the couch looking REALLY tense.
(Y/N): Are you two okay?
They both jumped like they had just seen a ghost.
Marina: Yep! Yeah, everything's fine.
(Y/N): Suuuuure.
He then continued to the kitchen to clean the dishes.
Pearl peeked over for a second, then turned her head around really fast.
Pearl: Ooh, which one did you like more?
(Y/N): Huh?
Pearl: The food?
This got Marina's attention, to where she was now also looking over.
(Y/N) felt super embarrassed not knowing what to say or what was going on.
(Y/N): *Rubbing the back of his neck* I-uh, well I really like both of them, I don't think I could choose between them.
Pearl: Suck up.
Pearl turns around and folds her arms.
Marina: Pearlie! She's joking.
(Y/N) laughs a bit, then feels something buzz in his pocket. He takes out his phone, looks at it for a few seconds, then puts it back in his pocket.
(Y/N): Well, I'll see you two later.
Pearl and Marina looked over confused.
Marina: Where are you going?
(Y/N): Oh! Right. My friend wanted to hang out today, and she's here to pick me up, now.
Pearl: Friend?
Marina: She?
(Y/N): Yeah, see ya.
(Y/N) then went out of the door, to get to the front gate.
Marina POV
Pearl: I didn't think he had any friends.
Marina was just standing at the front door, looking at the monitor that displayed the camera at the gate.
Marina: Ugh! I hate having to crouch down to look through this thing.
Pearl: That's just because you're so tall.
Marina: *Under her breath* Sure, that's why.
She couldn't see the driver of the car out front's face. She could only see the driver's one hand on the wheel and the driver's other hand open up the passenger door, letting (Y/N) get in. The car drove off.
Marina: Do you think (Y/N)'s embarrassed of us?
Pearl: Huh?
Marina: Do you think he didn't want his friend to see us?
Pearl: Of course not! We're the BEST!
Pearl throws her hands up when she says this.
Marina: Yeah, you're probably right.
Marina walks away from the monitor.
Marina: Well, we should probably get to work on that new song.
Pearl: Yeah! Let's head to the soundproof storage room.
~~~
(Y/N) POV
(Y/N): So what are we doing, today?
Marie: Well I was thinking we could go get something to eat. Maybe head to the Shoal, play some games, maybe some other things. Then go see a movie.
(Y/N): Sounds great!
After a little while, they get to the Crust Bucket.
(Y/N): So, I'll go get the food and drinks, while you get us a table.
Marie: Sounds good.
(Y/N): What do you want?
Marie: I'll take a latte, and we could split a Galactic Seanwich.
(Y/N): Gotcha'
(Y/N) walks over to the food truck.
Crusty Sean: What's kraken?!
(Y/N): Nothin' much.
Crusty Sean: What'll it be?
(Y/N): One Galactic Seanwich, a latte, and a smoothie.
Crusty Sean: Comin' right up.
After a bit, the food is done, and (Y/N) takes it, after paying for it, he starts walking to the table.
Crusty Sean: Peace!
(Y/N) sits down at the table, which for some reason was the only one with an umbrella.
(Y/N): Your latte, m'lady.
Marie: Quite thank you, sir.
They both laughed a bit.
While they were eating their food, they were chatting up a bit and having some laughs.
Marie: So I said, "Good one, Callie. But isn't it past your bedtime?"
They both laughed.
(Y/N): Sounds like you had fun back then.
Marie: Yeah, it was always fun working with Callie, even though it's easier just being a radio host now.
(Y/N): I bet. You don't have to worry about how you look or what you do; just how you sound.
Marie: Yeah, but I ALWAYS look good.
(Y/N): Eh.
Marie squinted her eyes and scrunched her lips up, showing she didn't like what he said.
(Y/N), meanwhile, just laughed at the face she was making, which caused her to start laughing.
Now that they were done eating, they went to the Shoal and played a lot of the games, where they both had fun.
They left once they were done, and got in the car to start heading to the movie theater.
Marie: Told you, you wouldn't beat me in the dancing game.
(Y/N): Yeah, but I was close.
Marie: But you weren't doing the dance moves.
(Y/N): One, because I'm a bad dancer. Two, because you don't need to dance. You just need to hit the floor where it says to when it pops up.
Marie: You're no fun. At least now I have all these prizes. *she said referring to the stuffed animals and other things they put in the back seat*
(Y/N): Yeah, but how many of those did I win you?
Marie: Like, one.
(Y/N): More like half.
Marie: *Smiling* Whatever.
They got to the movie theater, chose a movie, and watched it. They laughed at the jokes, and in general, had a good time watching it.
Now that the movie was over, they were leaving to drop (Y/N) back off, now that it was getting dark.
(Y/N): That movie was pretty good.
Marie: Yeah, I'm glad we saw it.
(Y/N): I hate it when they do that though.
Marie: What?
(Y/N): Where a big part of the story is caused because the girl just refuses to just tell the guy she likes, that she likes him. I mean, if you like the guy, tell him! Or else nothing's going to happen.
(Y/N) didn't notice, but Marie was blushing a bit and looked a little less cool.
Marie: Yeah.
~~~
Marina POV
The whole day, Marina was repeatedly checking her phone every so often. One, for any form of message from (Y/N). Two, for the app that let's her view the cameras through her phone, to check if he was back yet.
Now that it was dark, she was just laying on the couch, watching TV, and still checking her phone every so often.
Then, she saw it...
The car had returned and it was once again in front of the gate. She still couldn't see the driver's face, but she could see (Y/N).
Marina: Finally he's back.
However, that's when she saw him lean over towards the driver, but because of the roof of the car, she couldn't see.
Marina: DID THEY JUST KISS?!
Pearl: What was that, Marina?
Marina: Uh, nothing!
Marina: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh...
There was a buzzer. It was for the front gate.
Marina pushed the button to let him through.
~~~
(Y/N) POV
The car now pulled up in front of the gate.
Marie: Welp, here's your stop.
(Y/N): Yep, thanks for the fun day.
Marie: Anytime.
(Y/N) then leaned over and gave Marie a hug.
Marie was blushing HARD now.
(Y/N) stopped hugging her, and started getting out of the car.
(Y/N): See ya.
Marie: *Still blushing* Y-yeah. See ya.
(Y/N) started walking towards the gate, and hit the buzzer. After a couple of seconds, he was beeped in.
He got back to the front door, and opened it up to reveal a tense-looking Marina lying down on the couch.
Marina: Oh! I didn't realize you were here.
(Y/N): But... You beeped me in; didn't you?
Marina: Oh, right.
Marina: So, how'd it go?
(Y/N): We had a LOT of fun. First, we split some food together. Then, we played a bunch of the games at the Shoal-
Pearl: Ugh! I hate that place.
Pearl just popped out from around the corner.
(Y/N): Why?
Pearl: Every time I go there, if it's JUST me, the automatic doors don't open. It's like they know it's ME!
(Y/N) was trying VERY hard not to laugh, but not doing that well.
Pearl: What?
(Y/N): It's nothing. That really sucks. *He said still giggling*
Marina: Anyway, continue.
(Y/N): Oh, right. So we were at the Shoal, and we had a lot of fun playing the game, I won her a ton of plushies and such. Then, we went to the movies and saw a good movie. Then, we headed back here.
Marina: And did anything happen after that?
(Y/N): Nope.
Marina: Nothing?
(Y/N): No, I just gave her a hug and then left.
Marina put her hand on her chest and gave a relaxing exhale.
Marina: Oh thank goodness.
(Y/N) was just very confused.
(Y/N): Okay, well, I'm pretty tired so I'm going to head up to bed.
Marina POV
(Y/N) walked upstairs to go to bed.
He was gone now, but Marina noticed he left something behind. His phone.
Marina picked it up, but just looked at.
Pearl slowly crept over Marina's shoulder, with a maleficent look on her face.
Pearl: Do it.
Marina: What?
Pearl: You're thinking about going through his phone.
Marina: What?! No I'm not! Wait. Why do you want me to?
Pearl: Because maybe I can dig up some juicy details he'd rather keep quiet.
Marina: Pearlie, that's bad.
Pearl: But you could find out anything you want to as well.
Marina thought of it for a second. She hit the power button once and the lock screen opened up. The wallpaper was of the Squid Sisters.
Marina: Eeeh okay.
Marina swipes the screen to bypass the lock screen.
