Author's note- This was requested by @UT_Girl666 ! Thanks for requesting. Now im going to prepare myself for the haters. Also ive had to rewrite this... and this is a trial run to see if people actually enjoy my work.

~THIRD POV~

      Perched on the rocky sea floor was the orange octopus shaped vessle called the Octopod. It was the home to the Octonauts, a crew of animals from all over the world brought together to help any creature in trouble. Currently they were stationed in the oceans off the coast of the state of Florida to wait out a thunderstorm that had hit while they were making a trip from Canada to Brazil to return a Brazilian tarantula to its home. Inside of the architectural masterpiece was the crew working hard to prepare for any situation that may happen. The crew were securing any belongings that might break if the Octopod were to shake violently and cause items to fall. As thunder crashed above the ocean's salty waters and any drifting items getting dragged underneath the violent waves, a certain orange and white pirate cat was having some troubles.

~KWAZII'S POV~

     I had just finished putting my precious spyglass away when the storm above the water let out a loud crash of thunder, causing me to latch my claws onto my chest of belongings, my fur puffing up slightly. "Yeow.... too loud for me ears..." My ears were folded back and my tail twitched occasionally. I retracted my claws and let go of my item chest, deciding to head to HQ and to get some nice hot chocolate. I flipped into the octoshoot and began sliding down. After a few moments i ended up in the hallways. I saw that Shellington's lab/room door was open and from what I could see, he had a few sulfur samples out. I passed by the lab and then saw the medbay door open. Inside the medbay, a few tanks; including the creepy crawly, were in a sealed box. I jogged past the medbay too and made my way to the octoshoot that lead to the HQ. As I got close, the thunder outside crashed, causing me to jump up and cling to the celing like one of those cartoon cats. As I stared at the celing I clung to, I hear a far too familiar voice. "Kwazii..? Why are you... on the celing..?" It was Captain. The one and only Captain Barnacles. Captain Barnacles was a close friend of mine and he was the bravest of crew! He was the only really dangerous predatory animal on the team yet he wouldn't harm a fly! "Kwazii? Do I need to get Peso?.. Kwazii did.. did you fall asleep?" The polar bear was looking up at me, his gray eyes had concern swirling in them.

    I looked down at him, my ears perking, "'M fine Capt! Just practicin me climbin!" I smiled, but he didn't look too convinced. "If... you say so Kwazii." Captain nodded slowly and then jumped into the octoshoot that connected the halls to the HQ. I released the celing and fell but I swung my legs down so I could land on them. After i landed, i jumped into the octoshoot, although halfway through thunder clapped loudly, the metal tube I was in didnt help in anyway, shape or form. I let out a quiet little mew as I jumped out, seeing the dark skies that were above the Floridian oceans through the glass of the octopod's HQ windows. I looked around the HQ. "That's.. strange. No one is out here... wait what time is it?" I went to check the clock but then Captain's voice spoke up. "Kwazii.. are you okay? It's 2:30 in the morning and you were on the celing 5 minutes ago.." Captain looked concerned.

~BARNACLES' POV~

     I looked at Kwazii with worry. "O-oh! 'M a-okay capt! Just needed some water!" Kwazii said while smiling, but I could see see something was wrong. "Kwazii... is there something you arent telling me?" My left ear twitched, watching as Kwazii's smile faltered slightly. "U-um... w-well-" The thunder from the storm outside clapped and Kwazii jumped onto me and held onto me. "W-Woah! Kwazii are you okay?!" I held Kwazii, hearing him quietly whimper. Another thunder clap sounded and I put two and two together. "Your frightened by thunderstorms... aren't you?" Kwazii nodded even though he was attempting to hide away in my shoulder. 

     I readjusted Kwazii in my arms and went through the octoshoot. I began humming an old lullaby to hopefully calm Kwazii down from his panic. As I moved down the hall, I felt Kwazii's quivering began to slow down in my arms, the fur that was standing on his neck and tail was starting to stand down as while. I jumped through the octoshoot that lead to Kwazii and Dashi's room. Once I was in Kwazii's room, I tried to remove Kwazii from my frame but his claws were holding onto my shirt so I ended up grabbing a chair and sat down. "Kwazii... your gonna have to let me go to lay in your own bed.." I tried to remove him again but he stayed put. "Well.. alright..." I tried to make myself as comfortable as I could on the chair. After a few minutes, I began to fall asleep. Kwazii had fallen asleep a few minutes before, causing me to want to stay awake for as long as possible, but alas, I ended up falling asleep.

Author note #2- Im sorry for taking so long to write this, the ending was rushed as hell. Also this was around 900 to 950 words
