It was an exciting day at odd squad, well, actually it wasn't that exciting, it was a slow day if anything. But tomorrow would be an exciting day, and Olympia was already planning for it.

In fact, she had already been prepared a week in advance, planning a party and everything. She was prepared, her partner, Otis, however, wasn't.

Olympia was currently having lunch in the break room with Otis, talking to him about said event.

"You what?!" exclaimed Olympia as she stared at her partner in disbelief.

How could he have forgotten something so important?

Otis looked down shyly, shrugging with one shoulder as he replied, "I haven't really thought about it." he tried to make it sound as though it wasn't that big of a deal, but he already felt stupid.

How could he forget Oona's birthday?! Well, he didn't necessarily forget her birthday, but he had forgotten to get her a present for her birthday, which was not good since Oona's birthday party was literally tomorrow.

"Well, the party's literally tomorrow, Otis." Olympia stated, nearly reading his thoughts.

"I know. I don't even know how I forgot about getting her a present." Otis sighed. He really messed up.

Olympia gave him a sympathetic smile. "Maybe you can do some last minute shopping later today." she positively suggested, Otis just nodding in response. He really wished he would've handled the gift shopping earlier though, but between work, helping Olympia plan for the party, and more work, buying a gift just sort of slipped his mind.

He would have to find the perfect gift for Oona today, one that didn't scream 'I bought this at the last minute'.

Before Otis could think about it any further, they heard Ms O calling them from her office. They quickly left the break room, knowing how Ms O didn't like to be kept waiting.

Ms O ended up sending them to solve a lot of cases that day, and they were nearly exhausted by the time work was almost over, Otis extra stressed now since he hadn't yet had any time to find a present for Oona.

He and Olympia had just arrived back from what had to be their eighth case today, Olympia getting to work on finishing up some paperwork as Otis' eyes wandered over to the lab where Oona was completely engulfed in her work.

Otis sighed. All he could think about at the moment was how disappointed Oona would be if he didn't have a gift for her tomorrow. So, ignoring the fact that he also had some paperwork to do, Otis discreetly headed towards the tube lobby, planning to go down the street to a nearby store -- that he desperately hoped was still open-- and continue his search for Oona's gift.

"Where to?" the tube operator, O'brady asked Otis rather loudly, when he entered the tube lobby.

Otis resisted the urge to tell him to 'keep it down'. "The store down the street, please." he curtly requested, trying not to seem as though he was in a hurry (even though he clearly was).

O'brady nodded before yelling "Preparing to squishinate!" Otis winced as he monetarily wished that the tube operators didn't have to yell that everytime. He wasn't trying to call attention to himself.

"Squishinating!" he heard, being whooshed off to his destination in his red, sphere shaped tube pod.

When he arrived at the store, Otis basically ran inside, relief washing over him when he realized the doors weren't locked and the store was in fact, still open. He made his way through the aisles, hands behind his back and his mind racing as he racked his brain for gift ideas for the perky, female scientist.
