Pearl scowled at the piece of paper before her, wishing that it would combust into flames and ash.

“Why am I not more popular?” demanded the diminutive pink-ink Inkling with a hiss.

“What do you mean, Pearl?  You’ve been winning most of the Splatfests so far,” replied the tall Octoling beside her.

Pearl glared up at her singing partner, causing the dark-skinned girl to flinch. “You know those don’t mean anything, Marina.  I might have beaten you more than you’ve beaten me, but everyone still loves you more than they do me!”

“Th-That’s not true,” stuttered Marina, trying to appease Pearl’s ego.

“Of course it is!  I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t like me as much as they like you!  I’m just as great at singing as you are.  What do you have that I don’t?!”

The self-proclaimed princess glared up at Marina, causing the shy Octoling to fidget.  Looking her over, Pearl was starting to see why people gravitated towards Marina over her.  The Octoling was tall, leggy, busty, exotic dark skin, and her gentle personality could win over anyone.  Pearl scowled at this, as she was the exact opposite.  She was short, stubby, flat, pale as a sheet, and had an abrasive personality that drove people away.  What made this worse was that Marina didn’t even realize how attractive she was.

“Pearl?  Are you okay?” asked Marina, noticing how Pearl was grinding her teeth in anger.

“No I’m not okay!  Our fans are a bunch of perverts!”

Pearl then stomped off, leaving behind a very confused Marina.

“Why would our fans be perverts?”

FIN

Into the inkiness of day twenty-nine of Month of Pink.

-:-

Technically Pearl does count as a pink-haired girl.  Aside from the fact that her “hair” is pink on the ends, her ink is pink and as we know the ink is the main color of the Inklings and Octolings.

P.S. Marina is adorable.
