My Little Treasure

chapter twenty five: (part 1) siblings

(Saber's pov)
Dad and I were in our room, I was reading and he was practicing sword fighting with his spyglass "do you ever run out of energy?" I giggled, "nope" kwazii smiled, turning around to face me while placing his paws on his waist, I shook my head as he went back to defending the octopod from the imaginary enemies, I took a sip of my water just as the captain appeared on the control panel "barnacles to kwazii and saber" the bear spoke happily, this has to be good "dashi has found something you might want to see" he continued, the call ended as I looked at dad with confusion "any idea what that's about?" I questioned, downing the rest of my drink "nope, but he doesn't get excited like that often, it must be good so..." dad said smiling, "let's go find captain barnacles, YOAW" we exclaimed in unison, we flipped into the octoshoot and ran through the hallways to the lift...and somewhere along the way there was apparently a silent conversation...that turned our hyperactivity into a race

I made it onto the lift first and dad front flipped onto to it as it started to rise "baa, you win" dad groaned in defeat, "yay" I laughed, back flipping on the spot as dad smiled and started to laugh, kwazii is competitive but I sometimes feel like he let's me win, Aunt Kate cat said he did that with ocean since she was the youngest so..maybe, anyway in the HQ we met with the polar bear and dashhond "so, how's it going?" I asked, curious to see what response I would receive "I've just discovered a brand new island near the octopod" dashi explained, "as far as we know it's completely unexplored and undocumented" Shellington added delighted, "unexplored and undocumented huh, sound's perfect" I remarked, "hopefully we can find my brother there" celo piped out, we've been trying to find her big brother totem for a few days now

The young calico has become doubtful that we'll find him at all but none around here gives up that easily "so..um captain..when are we gonna go to this island?" Dad asked, playing with his paws anxiously "I was anticipating that question, I was thinking you saber and the twins could go" the captain explained, "and celo would you like to tag along to help look for totem?" He asked, the elegantly voiced feline thought for a moment "if it helps find him any faster, sure" she replied, then that settles it, island unexplored and undocumented here we come
