In no time, Otis and Olympia emerged from the tube entrance in the park, almost tripping since they were in such a hurry.

"Where's Oona and Mr. Lighting?" Otis asked no one in particular as he looked around.

"They couldn't have gone far. Come on, let's look over that way." Olympia replied, pointing in the direction she thought they should look.

After a long while of searching for Oona and Mr. Lightening in the huge park, Otis and Olympia were baffled as to why they didn't find them.

"I guess they're not here anymore." Otis stated, letting out a sigh.

"Don't worry, Otis. We'll find them. We just have to figure out where they're headed to next." Olympia reassured him, giving him a light smile as he sighed again.

"Do you think this is my fault?" he abruptly asked, causing Olympia to narrow her eyes in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"I think Oona felt left out today, because it seemed like we weren't paying much attention to her. Maybe that's why she's joining Mr. Lightning now." Otis explained, sighing again as the slight breeze ruffled his hair a bit.

"Oh.... I didn't realize we were leaving her out. But I don't think Oona would join Mr. Lighting because of that, she's not like that. And even if she would, it would be my fault too then." Olympia softly countered.

"But I do that all the time, Olympia. She probably thinks I'm ignoring her because I don't really talk to her much. But I can't help it, I don't know how else to act around her. She makes me nervous, but in a good way. I guess what I mean is, I have a crush on her...." he trailed off, looking down and off to the side as his cheeks turned red. He couldn't believe that he just admitted that out loud, hearing Olympia squeal in excitement at his words.

"You have a crush on Oona?! Awww! That's so cute! Is that why you're always blushing when she's around? I knew it!" Olympia rambled enthusiastically as a wide smile appeared on her face. "You should totally tell her!" she added, Otis shaking his head rapidly.

"No. No way. She probably doesn't like me like that. And even if she does, I obviously messed it up already." he reacted.

"Maybe if you told her how you really feel, you could fix it." Olympia suggested, giving him a small smile.

As much as Otis didn't want to admit it, he knew Olympia was right, and that he should just tell Oona the truth. What good would it do if he kept hiding it anyway?

"Ok.... you're right. I'll tell her. But we have to find her first." Otis finally agreed, causing Olympia to smile even more.

Just then, Otis' badge phone was ringing, and he swiftly detached it from his suit before professionally answering it. It was Ms O calling to to tell them that Mr. Lighting and Oona we're now headed to Odd Squad headquarters. She also told them that there was currently another odd problem in the park that needed solving so Olympia decided to handle that while Otis headed back to hq.

As soon as Otis arrived back at the tube lobby, he jumped into action, looking around frantically for Oona. Soon, he spotted them walking towards the hall of doors, so he quickly dashed over to them.

"Odd Squad, Odd Squad! Stop right there!" Otis shouted, causing Mr. Lighting and Oona to turn around and look over at him.

"Otis?" Oona said, surprised to see him since she still thought he had the rest of the day off. She thought he'd be out with Olympia or something.

"Oona, are you ok?" he quickly asked her, concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Where's Olympia? Shouldn't you be hanging out with her?" Oona hadn't meant for that question to sound so bitter, but she couldn't help it. Where was all of this concern earlier when he was practically ignoring her?

"I'm sorry for leaving you out earlier, Oona. And I'm sorry if I make you feel like I'm ignoring you all the time. I just can't help it." Otis frantically explained, his words confusing Oona.

"What do you mean you can't help it? Am I that hard to pay attention to?" she questioned back, just letting her irritation seep into her voice.

"No, that's not what I mean-"

"Then what do you mean?!" Oona reacted in frustration.

"Yeah, what do you mean? I'm totally confused right now.... " Mr. Lighting Joined the conversation, expressing his cluelessness.

Otis briefly glanced over at Mr. Lightning and shook his head in annoyance before directing his attention back to Oona, walking closer to her as he spoke. "My point is, I get nervous around you, Oona. But not like a bad kind of nervous, it's the good kind. I just never know what to say when you're around because I like you so much."

Oona's cheeks were bright pink at this point as she wondered if she had heard him correctly.

"Wait, you- you like me?" she stammered out.

"Yeah, I do. But I didn't tell you because I thought you didn't feel that way about me. I'm not that good with feelings, or crushes, or any of that stuff." Otis said, mumbling the last part as he blushed a bit. "So please don't help Mr. Lightning to take over odd squad." he begged her, but she narrowed her eyes in confusion at his request.

"Huh? Of course I'm not helping him take over odd squad. Why would you think that?" she reacted.

"Because, that's what Mr. Lightning said in his video message earlier. And if you're not helping him then what's he doing here?" Otis was now the one confused.

"I'm just taking him to the interogation room. I don't know why he told you I was in on his plan."

Now all eyes were on Mr. Lightning as he laughed awkwardly. "Well, to be fair, I thought she was in on my plan too at first. But then she told me she was just listening to me rant because she 'didn't want to be rude'." he explained.

"Oh...." Otis trailed off as Ms O's assistants walked in and showed Mr. Lightning to the interogation room.

"So.... You have a crush on me? Wow. That's.... Wow." Oona randomly said, still blushing like crazy. "Obviously I like you too. In case you didn't figure that out already." she quickly clarified, causing Otis to chuckle. He wasn't really sure what to say next, so he just took her hand, giving her a small smile.

Just then, Olympia ran up to them. "I'm here! What did I miss? Did you stop Mr. Lightning? Did you-" she stopped mid-statement when she saw Otis and Oona holding hands. "Oh. My. Gosh! Are you two finally together now? Yay!!" she squealed happily, making both of their faces red.

Otis looked over at Oona as they grinned at each other. "Yeah. Yeah, we are." he simply replied.

"And we stopped Mr. Lightning too. I wasn't really helping him with his plan, but that's a long story." Oona added for clarification as Olympia nodded in understanding.

"Well, I'd say that's another mission accomplished." Olympia stated. "High fives!" she held both her hands up for a high five.

"Yeah, it's genuine now." Oona joked, smiling as she and Otis high fived Olympia.

And Oona knew that not only was the high five genuine, but so we're Otis' feelings for her.
