First, thank you all for the many views, votes, and followers I'm receiving, especially followers, they just all started flooding in. Which brings me to my next topic.

This story has a little over 80K reads, and with how much reads I get per day, it won't be long before I reach 100K on this story, so I was wondering if there was anything special you'd all want me to do for when this book reaches that goal of 100K.

Second, I released another book.

Reader: Oh God, not another one.

Hey! Shut up. Besides the other Splatoon book I've released a week ago, I have now released a Halo book (which is my favorite game of all time), so if you like the sound of that, feel free to go check it out, please.

Marie POV

(Y/N) woke up in the morning to the sun on his eyes.

(Y/N): Ack! What the heck? I have curtains now! How is the sun still in my eyes?

He said covering his eyes.

Marie: That would be me.

He stopped covering his eyes with his hand and looked up to see Marie standing next to the window, holding the curtain open.

(Y/N): Why do you hate me so?

He said dramatically as he covered his face with his hand again.

Marie just gave him her classic smirk.

Marie: Oh come on, (Y/N). Don't be like that. Most of us are up already.

(Y/N): So? Good for you girls. Unlike you girls, my beauty doesn't happen naturally. THIS.

He said using his other hand to gesture at his face.

(Y/N): Doesn't happen naturally.

Marie blushed a bit at what he said as she walked over to his bed, where she kneeled on the floor and rested her head on her arms that were laid on the bed.

Marie: Come on... Don't you wanna hang out with Lil old me anymore?

(Y/N) uncovered his eyes a bit, looking over at her before recovering them again.

(Y/N): You're right.

Marie: Hmph.

She said smiling.

Marie: Of course I am.

(Y/N): That gray hair does make you look old.

Marie: HEY!

She raised her fist, to where (Y/N) quickly sat up throwing his arms up to defend himself.

(Y/N): I was kidding! I was kidding.

Marie lowered her fist.

Marie: Well, at least you're up now.

(Y/N): Yeah. I'll be out there in a bit, just let me take a shower and get changed first.

Marie: (I can help you with that.) Okay!

She said, leaving the room to return to the living room.

~~~

(Y/N) POV

(Y/N) stepped out of the bathroom, now cleaned, dried off, and fully clothed, and made his way to the living room.

He saw Marina and Veronica sitting at the table trading Halloween candy. Marie was sitting on the couch, watching TV next to a sleeping Callie. Pearl was sleeping on the floor. And Liz... Where is Liz?

(Y/N): Hey, Marie? Where did Liz go?

Marie: Huh? I don't know. She wasn't here when I got up, and I was the first one awake.

(Y/N): Hm.

He was confused at this. Where did she go? Was she okay? He'll message her later to make sure.

Veronica: Hm? Three? She left late last night.

(Y/N): Huh? Where did she go?

Veronica: She said she was going home. She woke me up so I could lock the door.

(Y/N): Aw yes! Now I don't have to worry about getting beat up in my own home, or having to take a shower with cold water, or any of that stuff!

Marie: You could've just told her to leave.

(Y/N): That's rude, Marie.

Marie: Didn't you say she was beating you up?

(Y/N): Yeah.

Marie just shook her head.

Marina: Come on, Eight! Can I PLEASE have that Kit Kat bar?

Veronica: NO! I love the kitty kat bars!

Marina: Pleeeeease! You have so many! I just want ONE.

(Y/N): Come on, Veronica. Just one?

Veronica: Just one?

(Y/N): Just one.

Veronica: ...

(Y/N): Veronica?

Veronica: FINE.

Veronica begrudgingly handed over one of her Kit Kats.

Marina happily took it and prepared to eat it.

Marina: Mmm... These are so delicious.

Marina snapped the Kit Kat in half, causing Callie to jump up immediately. Marina, hearing this, immediately hid the candy bars.

Callie: I heard food.

Callie took in a long sniff.

Callie: I smell food.

(Y/N) popped open a bag of chips, causing Callie to turn her head toward him at lightning speed.

(Y/N): Callie? You want the chips?

She was nodding her head.

(Y/N) Go get 'em!

He tossed the chips into the kitchen, which she immediately ran after.

Marina: Thanks, (Y/N)!

She said as she quickly ate her candy bar.

Meanwhile, Marie was just rubbing the bridge of her nose. She sighed.

Marie: Ugh... Callie.

~~~

Pearl: Okay! We're out of here! We'll see y'all later! Peace!

Marina: Bye everyone!

They said, waving, as they were leaving.

Veronica: Wait! Can you two drop me off someplace?

Marina: Yeah! No problem... But it'll cost you some candy.

Veronica: Awww FINE. Let's go.

And so the three of them left.

Marie: Well, we better get going too.

Callie: Yeah, we'll talk later.

(Y/N): Woah! Can't I come with you girls? No one's here but me now, and I don't want to be sitting here bored all day.

Marie: Sure. I don't see a problem with that.

Callie: Yes! I've got the perfect plan for what we can do!

She said excitedly while latching herself onto (Y/N)'s arm.

(Y/N): Okaaaay.

He said a little off-put.

~~~

The three of them conversed on their way to Callie and Marie's apartment.

Once they got there, Callie dragged (Y/N) to her room, leaving Marie a little annoyed as she plopped down onto the couch.

(Y/N): Okay, so what is it you want to do?

Callie: You remember how I bought that OTHER costume?

(Y/N): Nope!

He turned around and started leaving to the living room, where Marie was.

(Y/N): Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Callie: Ooh! You're right! I'll call you in here once I'm dressed!

(Y/N): NOPE!

(Y/N) just sat down a little uneasily next to Marie.

After about a minute, Callie started calling (Y/N) from her room.

Callie: (Y/N)! Can you come here?

(Y/N): Nope!

Callie: Come on! I promise it's not what you think it is!

(Y/N): Nope!

Callie: Don't be such a prude! It's actually REALLY cool!

(Y/N): Nope!

Marie: That's it. I'm going to see what's going on here.

Marie stood up and started walking toward Callie's room.

(Y/N): Uh. Marie! You probably shou- And it's too late.

(Y/N) could hear Marie open Callie's door.

After a moment of silence, he heard Marie's voice boom from the other side of the apartment.

Marie: CALLIE! WHAT'RE YOU DOING? PUT ON SOME CLOTHES!

Callie: GET OUT!

Callie sounded very scared and shocked.

Marie came back into the living room looking as pale as a ghost.

(Y/N): I tried to warn you.

Marie's face quickly turned toward him. Her face had a mix of anger, shock, and horror.

~~~

Three POV

Liz was sitting down at the table in her house. She's been doing a lot of thinking after the revelation yesterday.

It's not like she was in love with the man in the knight suit, but she can't say she didn't feel an attraction to him, but after finding out it was (Y/N)... she didn't know if it was her feelings of the man in the knight suit that changed or her feelings for (Y/N) that changed.

Her thinking was interrupted by knocks on her door.

She stood up to answer the door. When she opened it, it revealed Eight on the other side of the door.

Eight: Hey, Three! Can I come in?

Elizabeth: Sure.

Eight turned around and waved at the car that had dropped her off.

Eight: Okay! Bye, Pearl! Bye, Marina!

The two of them waved back as the car drove off.

Elizabeth opened the door, letting Eight in, then locked the door behind them.

Elizabeth: So, what's up, Eight?

Eight: Nothing. I just came to hang out and check up on you. Why did you leave in the middle of the night?

Elizabeth let out a large sigh.

Elizabeth: I don't know, Eight. My head's jumping all over the place right now.

Eight looked a bit confused.

Eight: What about?

Elizabeth: No-Nothing!

She was a little flustered at that.

She took a deep breath in and a deep breath out. She needed to calm down a bit.

Elizabeth: I know you're not really the expert to ask about this kind of stuff, but do you mind giving me a bit of advice?

Eight: Sure! What about?

Elizabeth: So, there's this guy that I think I... mayhavefeelingsfor.

Eight: ...

Elizabeth: ...

Eight: Okay.

Elizabeth: The problem is, I was a huge jerk to him before, so now I'm not sure how I should feel.

Eight: Well, why don't you just get to know him and see if you do or don't have feelings for him.

Elizabeth: But what if he doesn't want to hang out with me after I had been such a huge jerk to him?

Eight: Well that's not a problem! If he doesn't want to hang out with you, then you two will never be together anyway!

She was smiling.

Elizabeth: You're not helping!

Eight: Oh. Sorry.

Elizabeth: *Sigh* I guess... I'll TRY getting to know him.

Eight: That's the spirit!

Elizabeth: So... What do you wanna do?

Eight: Let's play a game!

Elizabeth gave a smirk along with a little laugh.

Elizabeth: Sure.

Eight: Yay!

~~~

Marie POV

Marie: Okay, you two. Dinner's ready.

Callie & (Y/N): YAY!

The two of them ran to the table where the three of them sat down.

(Y/N): Mmm... Delicious as always, Marie.

Marie blushed and graciously accepted his compliment.

Marie: It's nothing, really. You should chew your food before talking though.

He swallowed the food that was in his mouth.

(Y/N): Sorry.

He smiled at her.

Callie: Geesh. Get a woom you two.

Callie said with her mouth full.

Marie: Callie. Chew your food.

Callie swallowed the food that was in her mouth, then put another bite in her mouth.

Callie: I shed-

Marie: Callie, quit being a smart-ass.

The three of them laughed.

Suddenly, someone's phone went off.

All three of them checked their phones.

(Y/N): Ah. It's me.

He read the message to himself then stood up.

(Y/N): Sorry, girls, I've gotta go. Veronica's locked out of the house.

Marie: Well, let's at least finish eating first. Then, I can drive you there. It'll be faster anyway.

(Y/N) looked back and forth between the door and the table a couple of times before agreeing and sitting back down.

~~~

Marie: And here we are.

(Y/N): Thanks for the ride, Marie.

The two of them hugged as (Y/N) got out of the car and walked toward the house.

Marie drove away, returning from whence she came.

Veronica: (Y/N)! Come here. I've been waiting out here for a while just watching videos on my phone. Open the door, please.

(Y/N): Woah! Cool it, Veronica. I'm opening the door.

Veronica: Thank you!

(Y/N): No problem.

He unlocked the door, letting her charge inside, then locking the door behind them.

(Y/N): So, how was it hanging out with Liz all day.

Veronica: It was fun. We talked for a bit first, then we played a bunch of games and such, then, she got food for us.

(Y/N): Oh, good. That means I don't have to get you something to eat because I already ate.

Veronica: Ooh! I just remembered!

She ran up to him holding some cases.

(Y/N): What are these?

Veronica: Movies! Three let me borrow them so I could watch them!

(Y/N): Oh. That's co-

He was cut off by Veronica suddenly dragging him away.

Veronica: Come on! Put them on! Let's watch them!

(Y/N): Okay, okay, slow down!

He then put the movies in as Veronica was excitingly jumping up and down on the couch in preparation. Once he had the movies started up and ready to go, he sat down next to her and, they started watching the films.

~~~

Callie POV

Callie was home alone because Marie left to take (Y/N) home, so Callie was just looking through her phone until she noticed something.

Callie: Huh? What's this? I guess I took some photos while we were all out partying the other day... Might as well check them out.
