I was in the med bay just finishing up and sending out my last patient of the day, when I heard the octoscreen speak. "Octonauts, get to your rooms and secure anything that will break when fallen. There's a storm and it's a big one!" I heard the captain announce.

I immediately started to feel the anxiety rise up inside me. I was scared of big storms, and this one sounded really dangerous. I dashed through the octochute and jumped up onto my bed the retrieve all my family photos.

I had then put all my books in a box In my closet. I swiped up all my fragile items and wrapped them in my pyjamas so they wouldn't be smashed on impact and stuffed them in a different box just outside the closet.

The second I had put everything away, the octopod shook around and set me toppling into the door. It had sensed I was leaving and automatically opened and sent me through the octochute. The octopod was still toppling and turning left and right, I was being smashed against the walls and by the time I had exited I felt as if I had 3 bruises.

The octoped then turned to the right and sent me sliding on the floor and a wall right jnfront of me. When I had braced for impact, 2 hands grabbed me under the armpits. I looked up to see shellington in the lab and hoisted me inside and closed the door.

"Phew, thanks shellington. That was close." I thanked him. Then realised he was gone and then turned around to realise he was still putting all the lab equipment away. He shoved everything into a box filled with packing peanuts and bubble wrap.

Suddenly, the octopod turned to the left and sent the remaining glass items in the table, smash onto the floor. The octopod had turned 90° so we were fully on the left and the walls became the floor and the ceiling became the walls.

I hung onto the table for dear life not wanting to fall down such a distance, filled with glass fragments. Then octopod returned to the side it was originally on and me and shellington fell onto the floor with a thud.

"Are you alright peso?" He asked me. "Oh I'm fine just a bit dizzy from all the toppling around." I replied holding my head trying to stop my headache. "I'll go to the hq to check on things and see if the captain is alright steering the ship."

"Alright but be careful, I need to stay here and clear up this glass and get everything into a box." He replied, while spreading his arms out to balance himself on the floor some wouldn't fall.

I made my way to the ladder while balancing myself in the walls to not fall over, I grabbed the ladder and then climbed it slowly while gripping tightly.

Once I reached the hq I immediately lunged forward, falling on the floor and grabbed onto the base of one of the chairs. I saw dashi on one of the computers, typing away on the stormtracker.

Suddenly, the ship scrapped against a huge rock, it made a horrible screeching sound that gave me a bad headache. I held my hand up to my ears to stop the sound. Then I lost my balance and accidentally let go of the chair.

I started to slide left and right, I was thrown against the wall and was winded. I coughed, trying to get some oxegn back into my lungs.

"Dashi! What direction is the best to avoid the storm and damage to the octopod.!" I heard the captain yell from the steering wheel. "Take a right at this coral reef coming up then continue going right when you see the stone archway!" She said.

I then started to topple to the right and caught myself on the table and held on like my life depended on it. Which it did.

Finally the octopod came to a stop. We were out of the storm. I was really dizzy and had a sick feeling in my stomach. Then I just laid with my back on the floor and took a food breath and sigh.
