Unfinished Business

January 1st 2083, 10:12pm

Location: Planet Splatoon

Muzu saw me packing my things "dad, why are you packing (*YAWNS*) it's late you know that" Muzu yawned "oh sorry if I woke you up Muzu, I didn't have any sleep tonight due to the nightmares I'm having right now." I said "really why dad?" Muzu asked "Muzu… I have unfinished business I have to deal with. On October 31st 2060, on that fateful day… I was kicked out of my island due to foolish actions. Now it's year 2083 23 years have passed and I have some unfinished business to deal with" I said Muzu was amazed "that's why you're packing up so late, got it I'll tell the family by first morning light, January 2nd" Muzu whispered, I smiled "okay Muzu right I better get going okay, see ya Muzu" I said as I kissed Muzu "okay dad take care dad, and may God's guide you father" said Muzu "I will" I replied. I left my bedroom but before I officially left my home I looked back at Muzu sleeping "someday Muzu will be next to follow in my footsteps just like I did with my father" I said then I opened the front door and left my Splatoon home.

My real Splatoon home was located at a dead end street but before I leave the Splatoon Planet I decided to go check with my gang the Neo-Octoling Slickers, it was located 60m up the road when I arrived I saw Funabi "oh Arnold, what's with your equipment like that?" Funabi asked "boss I have some unfinished business I intend to" I replied "I see Arnold sure thing I'll let you do that also I'll take care of your family while you're gone okay" said Funabi "okay boss, right I better get going" I said "okay Arnold be careful okay" said Funabi "I will" so I left the Neo-Octoling Slickers hideout and walked towards the Inkopolis Plaza. When I arrived at the Plaza I turned around to see Callie and Marie in their Octo Attire "oh Arnold what doing here at the Plaza at this time… it's late" said Octo Callie "Callie I came here this late because I have unfinished business to intend to at Planet Animal Crossing" I said

"I see so that's why you left your home so late but Callie and I won't stop you okay" said Marie I nod my head and walk towards the centre of the Plaza and close my eyes suddenly the centre of the Plaza begins to glow showing the all the zodiac horoscope in their star like patterns I slowly rise into the air then I flap my Galeem Wings and flew upwards off towards the Inkopolisan sky "good luck my inkling friend" said Marie and Callie wave at me Marie looked at the Astrologian floor and saw all the villagers from all the Animal Crossing Gaming Series, they were staying put like they don't want me around I grabbed my ocarina named Emotions started playing my first song on the ocarina called 'Dancing With Your Ghost' sang by Sasha Sloan as I started to play my ocarina a tear left my eye and hit the Astrologian floor, Sable one of the Able Sisters saw my tear hit the Astrologian Floor "Arnold… has unfinished business at Planet Animal Crossing… hold on Arnold I'm coming" said Sable.

So Sable flew into the air and caught up to me, once I was done playing my first piece on my ocarina I opened my eyes to see a hand I turned around to see Sable "Sable… what doing I'm doing this on my own… besides after what happened back in 2060" I said "I know that Arnold… but when I found out what happened to my parents… I was amazed your family passed away but you have their willpower within you, when I met you for the first time I was shy and very insecure but every single day you comfort me as I continue to work" said Sable.

I smiled "I know Sable but on Nov 12th 2055 around 2:14pm I was doing to my afternoon fishing also I feel like I was been watched but when I turned around I saw your sister Mabel or Mabes and she was worried and also I caught a Blue Marlin while I wasn't looking at the rod" I said "I know my sis still knows that memory" said Sable "I know Sable but why Mabes was worried… was she worried about you Sable?" I asked "when Mabes was worried about me she left the store and looked for you" said Sable. I closed my eyes and replayed the memory on that fateful day, Nov 12th 2055.

Nov 12th 2055, 5:12am

*Mabes stretches* ahh it's morning *looks at her bedside* Strange… Sable must have woken up early so I'll better get the Able Sisters shop open.

*walks towards the Able Sisters shop* something isn't right why I feel so worried I hope Sable is busy on the sewing machine.

*Opens the Able Sisters shop door and heads inside.*

*I looked at the Able Sisters shop* Mabes is worried… why I do not know I better notify Isabelle *I ran off to the Plaza*

*Mabes inside the Able Sisters shop, shocked* Sable is… isn't here… Sable!? There's no time for hide and seek… Sable!, Sable!. Sable where are you!

*I came in with Isabelle and saw Mabes paincking* Arnold, why did you summon me here anyway?

*looked at Mabes* Mabes, are you worried about Sable?

*Mabel looked at me* I am Arnold… sorry if I'm panicking at this time Arnold and Isabelle

*Isabelle looked at me* So Mabes is worried about Sable. Am I correct Arnold?

*I nod my head in response* of course Isabelle Mabes is worried about her sister Sable, and she doesn't know why… sorry if I'm disturbing you at this time

It's okay Arnold

Okay then Isabelle, I want you to notify the villagers of Splat-topia about the disappearance of Sable please

Sure thing Arnold *seeing Isabelle leaving the shop*

Oh and Isabelle

*Isabelle turned around to face me* what is it Arnold

I have something to tell you about the Able Sisters tragic backstory okay

Okay Arnold we'll talk about that behind closed doors okay

Of course Isabelle *Isabelle left the Able Sisters shop and I looked at Mabes*

*walked towards her and comfort her* Don't worry Mabes Isabelle and the villagers of Splat-topia and I will try our very best to find your Sis Sable

*Mabes hugs me* thanks Arnold you're the best

*Mabes and I break the hug* you're welcome Mabes, also I heard the tragic backstory of your parents. I know you might be mad I decided to tell Isabelle about it

Oh, yeah I usually tell Isabelle about my parents, but everytime I tell her I get worried I'm just… I'm just scared to share it with everyone you know that *Mabes begins to cry*

*put my human hand on Mabes shoulder* I know that Mabes but if you hide this information to the public your mental state will drop rapidly, I did this before and it nearly ended my life. I know you don't tell me what happened after your parents but remember if your mental state starts to drop I'll be surprised, I know it's tough to move on after the death of a loved one, pet, friend or family member, but they're gone but not forgotten. My family members slowly pass away one by one starting my Mum and Dad, next my brothers then followed by my sisters. They may be gone but I still know they're still with me… even after death *walking towards the door* I'm going to the Plaza remember what I said okay Mabes. If you feel alone I'll be at the plaza okay

*Mabes nod her head*

*I left the Able Sisters shop*

*Mabes having a think* so my sisters and I… aren't not the only ones to deal with the death of our parents… Arnold, seen a fair share of people passing away at his home planet, Planet Earth. Hearing his friendly words of wisdom for the first time I'm… I'm amazed *Mabes turned around to see Sable's note on the table right next to the sewing table and read it and she was in shock* Sable… Why do you leave abandoned… me Sable why *Mabes starts to cry*

I snapped back to reality opened my eyes and looked at Sable "Isabelle, the villagers within Splat-topia and I looked everywhere for you until my departure in year 2060 but in the end no luck" I said "well at least you tried your very best anyway I'll be waiting at the rundowned Able Sisters shop" said Sable "I will Sable, I will" I replied. Then I looked at Sable's starry spirits flew off towards Planet Animal Crossing, I saw Planet Animal Crossing at its former glory I smiled as I put my ocarina back in my pouch and looked at the Planet Animal Crossing. "Planet Animal Crossing, it has been 23 years since the first set foot on Splat-topia now I'm back once again but this time I have unfinished business to intend to" I said as I flew towards Planet Animal Crossing with no hesitation and at a supersonic speed. "Sable I'm on my way!" I shouted.
