The Scientist and the Agent

My New Partner

Your POV

While Olive was giving me a tour, she and I had become really good friends. During the tour, I had met some other people other than Olive and Oscar:

Orchid; a young, snarky, sassy, bossy agent who loves dinosaurs

Owen; a security agent who likes spinning that baton thing that security guards have

Oksana; she detests my cousin and has a very monotone voice

Olaf; Oren's partner. Likes potatoes. (i only got to know him for a few seconds. as soon as he and Oren came back from their case, they got sent on another one.)

And finally, Otto; Olive's partner. Loves food as much as I do.

Monday 8:21 a.m.

Olive and I were just chatting at her and Otto's desk right after the she finished the tour of the precinct; Olive in her chair, me sitting on the side of her desk.

"Wait, so you hate pie too?" Olive queried in awe.

"Yeah. Ever since that day."

"Do you mind telling me what happened? You dont have to if it makes you uncomfortable."

"Yeah, it kind of does...but i can summarize it. Also you have to keep this a secret."

"That's fine." I was glad she understood. I looked over at Otto to make sure he couldn't hear. He was listening to Soundcheck on his headphones. Phew! I quietly took a deep breath and...

"I was still in the Odd Squad Academy at the time, and let's just say i did things that I regret. Only Instructor O and Ms. O know exactly what I did, and I made up for it by redoing my previous year in the academy and getting straight O's on every single test." Olive was about to respond, but was quickly stopped by Ms. O shouting off her balcony.

"O'(Y/N)! In my office! Now!" Ms. O stormed back into her office and shocked Otto so much, his headphones fell off of his head. I shot up, worried.

"Why is Ms. O mad?!? Did I do something wrong?? I've only been here for nearly an hour!" Olive looked at me kindly.

"Oh, don't worry about that, O'(Y/N)." She smiled.

"Yeah," Otto continued. "She shouts off her balcony like that all the time. But for your safety- I mean, the safety of your eardrums, you should probably get up there asap."

"Alrighty then. Thanks you two." I swiftly made my way to Ms. O's office where she was sitting at her desk. "Good morning, Ms. O. You wanted to see me?" I then noticed the scientist from earlier who made the cool gadget. i think his name was... oh! Yeah! I remember! I can greet him by his name now!

Oscar's POV

After greeting Ms. O, her eyes shifted to meet mine and that feeling came up in my heart again. Her face went from serious to excited when she noticed me.

"Oh! Hey there, Oscar! What're you doing here?" She said with a large open grin.

I sheepishly smiled. I felt my cheeks get warm and tucked in my chin, trying to hide it. It felt rude to not reply, so I did.

"Howdy, O'(Y/N)! To be honest, I don't know why I'm here. Ms. O, why are O'(Y/N) and I here?"

"I'll tell you soon enough. O'(Y/N). Take a seat." She took a seat. "I see you've already met Oscar." 

"Yeah, Olive introduced me." She smiled sweetly at me again and the feeling in my heart came up. (man, I really have to ask someone what that feeling is)

"Now it's time for you to meet someone else." Ms. O stood up next to her private tube as it opened.

"Who?" O'(Y/N) asked.

Ms. O smirked. "Your partner." A boy, probably not even older than myself, stepped out of the tube. O'(Y/N) seemed very eager to see him since she stood up from her chair and had the biggest smile. That made me want to punch something.

I think i was... jealous.

Your POV

When the tube revealed my partner, I was devastated. I didnt want to be rude, so i plastered a huge fake smile on my face.

"Oliver!" I shot up from my chair. Oliver was one of my frenemies in the academy. He's an inch taller than me. We were meant to be partners before that day. He got sent off, i got left behind.

"I missed you, shortie." Oliver grinned and I crossed my arms.

"You're seriously still gonna call me that?"

"I never did stop, shortie." He reached to mess with my hair, which he very well knew i hate. I noticed Oscar was getting mad at Oliver, so I jerked Oliver with my elbow and Oscar brightened right up.

"Oliver's been working in Precinct 2468 while waiting for a partner,"
Ms. O explained. "When you finally graduated, we had him come over to be your partner." She walked back to her desk and sat down. "Oscar."
Oscar awkwardly turned.

"Yes, Ms. O?"

"you take those two to the lab and teach them how to handle the gadgets." Oliver rudely stepped in front Oscar before he could reply. In doing so, Oliver stepped on Oscar's foot and flicked his glasses to the balcony.

"Ms. O, with all due respect, I already know how to handle gadgets. Ive used them on tons of cases." He smugly smiled.

He was worse than Oren! Oscar looked very mentally and physically hurt, so i stood up for him.

"Excuse me, Oliver. But you know how to handle gadgets. I, on the other hand, dont. So maybe my friend Otto can show you around, and Oscar here," I stood next to Oscar and put my hand on his shoulder. "can show me how to handle the gadgets." I smirked at Oliver.

Oscar smirked with me. "Good idea, O'(Y/N)."  We looked at Ms. O for approval, she nodded, and Oscar and I turned around, leaving Oliver in shock.

Somehow we both knew to fist bump at that moment. As we were walking out of the office, Oscar said, "Thanks for, y'know, standing up for me there."

I stopped to pick up his glasses and placed them on him. He blushed.

"No problem, Oscar. You're my friend. Oliver is not."

"Hey, if you want, I'll ask Ms. O to change your partner. It's the least I could do to thank you."

"Really?!? Yes! Definitely! Also... race you to the lab!"

"Oh, it's on!"

We spent the rest of the work day testing and using gadgets and inators. Oscar was really nice to teach me everything. After we finished, we walked to the tube lobby together and left at the same time.

While i was going home in the tube, i had one thought in my mind.

"I think i'm in love with this guy."
