In the Octopod, Dashi noticed something on the place with a lot of buttons. "Hm, who put this piece of paper here? 'To the Octonots (Hehe they still spelt it wrong) : Your friend Peso is with us on Pink Cloud Island, if you could come and pick him up that would be nice. We would send him back the way we sent the letter but we can only teleport inanimate objects. From, Summer and Sunny Flare.
P.S the directions to find Pink Cloud Island are on the back.'" Dashi turned the paper around and facepawed because the directions simply said, "get carried by the current Peso was in, get away from the sharks and swim up to the surface and look for a green arrow pointing at Pink Cloud Island.".
Dashi checked with C. Barnacles and Kwazii and told them about the letter, they nodded and headed up to the surface. Kwazii started checking for a green arrow. He saw one of course, and it was pointing straight down at Pink Cloud Island, and the boys knew why it was called Pink Cloud Island. The clouds around it were pink of course. Problem is, it was still quite far. So they hit the gas, and on they went. Meanwhile on Pink Cloud Island before the guys found Pink Cloud Island Peso was confused to what his hosts were doing outside with a cauldron, saltwater, green powder and a bunch of glowsticks.
Summer showed him a drawing of a bunch of lumps and a big arrow in green pointing down on it. She pointed to the lumps, "That's Pink Cloud Island," then she pointed to the arrow, "that's what they're doing, to make it easier for your friends to find us." "Oh." said Peso. Back to the present (as in time, but you already knew that).
The sky was just starting to turn yellow when the Gup A touched the shores of Pink Cloud Island. "Kwazii, you take the left side of the island, I'll take the right." said Barnacles. "Aye aye Captain." but before they started looking, they heard the sound of a bush shaking. "Peso me hearty, is that you?" There came a sound of giggling, and out of the bush stepped Misty and Summer. Misty screamed and ran at the sight of the orange pirate cat and the suited up polar bear. Summer said "Visitors! What brings you to Pink Cloud Island?" Kwazii and Barnacles were surprised to find people living on the island, and definitely weren't expecting two young girls. "Um, hello, we are the Octonauts-" Summer said, "I'm assuming, that's my newest word I learned, you're looking for Peso?" Kwazii gaped. How did she know that they wanted to find Peso? "We were the ones who sent the letter silly cat!" "So is Peso here?" asked Barnacles. Summer shook her head. "But your letter said he was here!" Kwazii said in exasperation.
"So where can we find Peso?" Barnacles asked. Summer shrugged and went further into the island, so the boys followed her. Soon, they came into a clearing where they saw Glossy coming in with a bucket of seawater and Sunny lazily waving her hand to remove the salt and Glossy then poured the water through a filter to make it drinkable. And they saw Summer being chased around by Misty, but no sign of Peso.
Barnacles was about to leave with Kwazii when he stepped on a twig, revealing where they were hiding. Sunny got up and stared at the two, and as the guys were about to make a run for it Glossy used the water to freeze both Octonauts mid-run. "There goes our drinking water..." Sunny muttered. Glossy ignored her and said "Now, we can settle this in a diplomatic way. Come into the house and we can talk over tea." As she said the the ice melted away and Misty and Summer came out with a teapot and some cups.
Kwazii refused his cup however. "Thanks for the tea matey but we really need to find Peso, and that girl," he said, pointing at Summer, "said he wasn't here. So where is he?". Glossy said nothing, but looked at Sunny, who pointed at a door labelled "Glossy". "He's in her room. We figured it was too hot out here for a penguin so Glossy gave him her room, because it's like zero degrees in there.". That last statement earned her a slap on the wrist from Glossy. "It's not that cold." she huffed. "Well if he was here then why did that girl say he wasn't?" asked Captain Barnacles.
Sunny gave him a hard stare, and asked, "What exactly did you ask her?" Kwazii said simply, "We said, 'Is Peso here?'.". Sunny let out a chuckle followed by Glossy. Sunny explained through her giggles, "Pfft hehe, when you said 'here' Summer probably thought you meant right there, on the shore. You should probably have been more specific." "Oh. Well could we kindly have Peso back please." Captain Barnacles. Then he whispered, "It's his birthday and we wanted to throw him a surprise party but he got carried away before he could get the surprise. Sunny nodded. "PESO!! YOUR FRIENDS ARE HERE TO PICK YOU UP!!". Peso stepped out of the cold room and the boys had to hold in a chuckle as they could see what Sunny meant when she said the room was freezing. It literally had the cold air coming out of it when Peso opened the door.
"Hello Kwazii, Captain, thanks for finding me. Are we ready to go back to the Octopod then?" said Peso. The boys nodded and everyone said their goodbyes before the Octonauts headed back to the Gup. When they got there, Peso was surprised to see Glossy, Sunny, Misty and Summer come out of the woods all packed up. "Where are you going?'' He asked. Misty yelled, "Adventure!", while Sunny said, "We can sense that you'll be moving your giant orange metal octopus soon, and where it goes, we follow." "You mean, you've been following us the entire time we were Octonauts?" asked Kwazii incredulously.
"Not really, we discovered it last year when we saw you all cleaning that extra algae in the water that was making the creatures sick. We thought it was entertaining to watch. So we've been following you ever since, settling on the nearest island to your octopus and moving again when you moved." said Glossy. "So far we've been to Palm Tree Island, Sandy Island, Starry Island, Crab shaped Island next to an underwater one called Parrotfish Island, our raft over a kelp forest next to 3 otters who had the ridiculous- that's my newest word, idea to sleep holding on to kelp which roots were destroyed by red urchin, The Amazon, Yellow Snake Island and this one. Pink Cloud Island." Misty said, counting off on her fingers.
Suddenly, Barnacles had an idea. "Why don't you travel with us on the Octopod? Then you wouldn't have to pack up and move so much." Misty and Summer immediately nodded but Glossy and Sunny looked unsure. "I don't know." said Sunny. "Well, I kind of miss home, don't you guys?" Glossy said as she twirled her purple-blue hair with her finger, remembering fondly of the memories they had in their original home.
The girls agreed and were about to head to Yellow Snake Island and begin their journey in reverse before Summer and Misty begged to stay one more day and attend Peso's party, which after much overexaggerated begging the older girls agreed, but not before Sunny and Glossy setting a condition, "But you guys have to explain to Mum and Dad why we took so long on a 'Trip to Hawaii'." They had said. The younger girls hopped into the Gup while Glossy waved her hands and parted the water in front of her and Sunny, making an air bubble around them so they can walk along the ocean floor while staying dry (Because they were too big and tall to fit in the Gup, also that was a reference to Aang and Katara waterbending at the Serpent's Pass so they could walk along the ocean floor), then flew into the Octohatch after the Gup A.
In the HQ, everything was dark, and so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Then suddenly the Octochute opened, and out came Peso, and immediately the lights turned on and everyone (including the not relevant to the plot penguin family) came out of their hiding places and yelled "SURPRISE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PESO!!". Everyone gave him a hug and Peso cried tears of joy. They had cake, danced, and played games. When it was all over, Peso said, "This was the best birthday ever! Thank you everyone.". And soon everyone headed off to bed. Glossy squealed at the number of books when they passed Inkling's library, and Inkling let her keep 2 of the thick storybooks he had used to distract Peso. And the next day, the girls were gone. All that was left of them was a card in the Sick Bay, that read "Sometimes, life is like a dark tunnel, you can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you keep moving, you will come to a better place.
- Uncle Iroh
Happy Birthday Peso
From, Sunny, Glossy, Misty and SUMMER" (I was out of font options for their handwriting so I had Summer write in caps). Nobody knew who this Uncle Iroh was, but Peso carefully stored it away in his pod, promising to always remember his new friends. And with a smile on his beak, he carried on with his day.
