Ocean Feelings

Chapter 3

Coco groaned as she leaned back in the chair watching Tweak, "Tweak, I swear to god- I am so bored right now I want to go back to Kentucky just to have something to do."

Tweak rolled her eyes. After one week in Greenland, Coco's tolerance of staying on the octopod had dwindled. She had now taken to following Tweak around, trying to get her to let her help. "Ok, ok, fine, come here. You remember how to check the oil?"

"I'm not five Tweak. Yes." Coco grumbled, grabbing her rag.

"Then have at it, sport. If it'll shut you up." Tweak rolled her eyes as she walked over to another gup to run a test on another engine.

"And you want me to stay here permanently?" Coco scoffed, "I'd drive you crazy."

"Yeah, only because you're stuck inside... Stuck inside..." Tweak trailed off as she dropped her wrench and walked over to the comms.

"Thanks for continuing the conversation. Love you too." Coco rolled her eyes as Tweak left the room. Coco slowly strayed from the oil to the gup O. She traced the edge of it and slowly moved to where it was hanging. She saw the blueprint to the side and looked at Skii's on the bottom, and hummed.

Tweak shook her head as she contacted Barnacles, "Cap' How difficult would it be to train Coco just for the meantime?"

Barnacles raised his eyebrows, and Dashi laughed from the background, "She's already driving you crazy?" Dashi giggled as she questioned Tweak.

"Listen- She needs an escape. She is not going to stay if she is cooped up all day and night. If we let her out now, it'll keep her from pulling her hair out trying to escape." Tweak crossed her arms.

"I suppose it could be done. We could bring her on a mission or two." Barnacles nodded, "Do you think she is ready for it?"

Tweak rolled her eyes as Coco came up behind her, "I'm ready. That is enough. Besides, she has the training."

"What are you doing?" Coco questioned as she wiped the oil off on a rag and elbowed Tweak with the blueprint of the gup O in her hands.

"I'm selling you." Tweak retorted as Coco threw the rag at her. "Rude. And that is the gup O supposed to be a land gup for arctic adventures but still a work in progress."

Coco rolled her eyes as Dashi giggled, "We'll explain it when we're back, Cc."

"Oh, joy. More time stuck here." Coco huffed as the call ended, "What do you mean it is a work in progress?"

Tweak shrugged, "I mean, I am still open to suggestions regarding it."

"Like making it into a kind of submersible?" Coco questioned with a small smile.

"Like all our other gups? Maybe if someone asked incredibly nicely." Tweak smiled before setting the blueprint aside, "I'm already done with the majority of my work. Come on. Ima show you somethin'." As the two made their way to the gamepod, Tweak showed off all the games they had. Tweak tossed Coco a paddle, smirking.

"Come on, Cc, You Vs. Me, let's go," Tweak smirked.

"Oh, you are on sugar," Coco smirked as she spun the paddle.

Coco and Tweak laughed as they slid down the wall of the gamepod. "You were holding out on me. You didn't tell me you had this game room."

"Well, I didn't wanna influence you to stay." Tweak chuckled, "I talked to Dashi and the Captain."

"You did?" Coco raised an eyebrow, "Kickin' me off? Thank you if so-"
