Odd Squad one shots {requests are open}

Explain the crater mystery (Otis x Oona)

Oona was nervous as she headed toward the steps that led to Ms O's office. She wasn't called into the office much, but when she was, she was always irrationally nervous, even though it was usually just for something simple like Ms O asking her to make a certain gadget, or to inform Otis and Olympia about something trivial.

She trekked up the stairs slowly, letting out a nervous sigh as she entered the room. "You wanted to see me, Ms O?" she asked, awkwardly tugging on her lab coat.

"Yes, I have a very important job for you today, Oona." Ms O said, looking up at her. "I left my juice box in the park when I was having lunch earlier. So I need you to go get it and bring it back here."

That wasn't exactly the important job that Oona had been expecting, but she took it seriously nonetheless. "On it, Ms O." she said before quickly heading to the park.

It didn't take her long to locate the juice box, and she waisted no time in walking over to it, feeling proud that she found it so quick.

"Hmm, that was fast. Good job, Oona." she spoke to herself, nodding in approval before picking up the small container of fruit juice. "Now if I could just stop talking to myself...." she mumbled, before just shrugging and beginning to head back to headquarters.

Just then though, she noticed an unusually large crack in the ground, and since she was curious, she walked closer to it to get a better look.

However, when she walked up to it, she misstepped and fell inside of it.

Luckily she didn't get hurt since it wasn't too far of a drop, but still too far to climb out of. She let out a sigh of relief when she also noticed that the juice box was still intact, shoving it into her lab coat pocket to keep it safe.

"Whoa.... It's a whole other world down here...." she trailed off as she looked around. It was like some sort of underground cave. There were plants, rocks and even little harmless looking creatures. And as cool as this was, she needed to get out. After all, Ms O was expecting her back at the squad.

So, she looked through the gadgets in her pockets, but unfortunately, none of them seemed to be able to get her out of there. It was time for plan b.

Call for backup.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Otis and Olympia were just about to head out on an important mission that Ms O gave them when Oona called them and explained her predicament. So the plan was for Otis to go help Oona, while Olympia went out on the mission.

Oona had told Otis the directions to where she was and he immediately headed there, skidding to a stop when he came across the large crack in the ground.

"Oona?" he called, carefully looking down into the crater.

"Otis! I'm down here!" Oona exclaimed, relief washing over her when she looked up and saw him.

"Oona, are you ok?" he questioned, concerned.

"Yeah, I'm ok. It's actually kind of cool down here. Except it's kind of flooding...."

"What?!"

"Um, well there was this little space in the wall down here and water started seeping through. And now it's kind of filling up really fast, like really fast. It's kind of scary." Oona casually rambled on about the problem, but Otis' heart rate was already speeding up as he tried not to panic.

"Ok, hold on. I'm gonna get you out of there." Otis reassured her with a serious nod before reaching in his pocket for a gadget. He tried to use the rope-inator gadget so Oona could climb out of there, but with Oona's clumsiness, it didn't quite go as planned and Otis ended up falling into the crater also.

"Sorry, are you ok?" Oona asked Otis.

"That's ok. And yeah, I'm fine." he replied, dusting off his suit jacket. His eyes widened though when he saw that they were already up to there knees in water. And it was rising fast.

"Otis, what are we gonna do?" Oona asked, worry seeping into her voice. Otis was worried too, but he didn't want Oona to know that.

"Um, ok how bout we use the teleport-inator to teleport out of here?" Otis suggested.

"But I didn't bring it!" Oona reacted.

"Yeah neither did I, but I have the rope-inator, which is gadget number 7. And the teleport-inator is number 9, right? So all we need a gadget number 2, because seven plus two is nine." Otis rapidly explained, Oona giving him a sort of weird look.

"I do math when I'm nervous." Otis clarified.

"Oh right. Anyway, I have the shampoo-inator, which is gadget number 2!" Oona exclaimed happily.

They then swiftly combined their gadgets just before the water level rose too high, and they teleported out of there and back above ground.

They both let out a huge sigh of relief, their clothes soaking wet.

"Thank you so much for actually coming to help me." Oona suddenly said, throwing her arms around him in a hug.

"Of course I did, I love you." Otis just blurted that out before he could stop himself as he hugged her back, but he was now blushing like crazy. He had accidentally just admitted something that he'd been working so hard to hide for a long time; that he was in love with Oona.

Oona pulled away from him slowly so she could look him in his eyes. "What did you just say?" she hesitantly questioned.

"Um, I- sorry, it just slipped out. I mean, I did mean it but it's cool if you don't feel the same way I just-"

Oona interrupted him though by kissing him on the cheek, making both of them blush. "I'm glad you did mean it or this would be really awkward." she said with a slight laugh. "I do feel the same way. I love you too, Otis."

Otis smiled wider than he ever had before. "Really?"

"Really."

The walk back to the squad was bliss as they held hands and talked the whole way. They also planned to tell Ms O about that odd crater in the ground so they could fix it later, but who knew that would be what brought Otis and Oona together.
