Lost

Peso's gone...

Kwazii POV
"Mannnn I'm so bored!" I flopped on the beanbag in the games room as everyone turned to look at me. I prop myself up on my elbow and sighed. "Does anyone know when Peso's gonna be back? Cause it's been a while since he left..." My voice trailed off as I thought about what I just said.

It's true that he's been gone for a while. Last time we all talked to him was like a few hours ago. And he said that he'd call us back in a few hours but he hasn't. I grumble as I run a hand down my face.

Dashi laughed and put down the table tennis bat she was holding. She was playing with professor Inkling and the vegimals and it looked slightly competitive. "Oh Kwaz, you needa stop worrying. Peso will call us if something happens, you know that. Now how about a game of-" She was interrupted by the Octo-alert going off.

Captain Barnacles voice rung out through the Octopod, "Octonauts to the HQ!"

"Yow! I wonder what's happened now!? Maybe it's a dangerous mission the Captain'll let me go on? Or a creatures in trouble and we have to travel like half the world to rescue it!" I jumped onto the wall and off again as we all rushed to the HQ.

When we got there, Captain Barnacles was hunched over the controls with a concerned look on his face. "Hey Cap, what's up?" Tweak said biting her carrot. I have always wondered where she gets all of her carrots from. Like when we're on a mission, she'd just randomly pulls a carrot from out of nowhere! It's like she's magic.

"I don't really know Tweak. He's not answering his radio and the Gups half way across the world, I think Peso's in really big trouble but we can't track him." Captain Barnacles sighed and ran a hand down his face as he collapsed into a chair one of the Vegimals brought out for him.

Both Dashi and Tweak race over to the control panels and start pressing and messing around with the buttons and talking so fast I can't catch a single word they're saying.

"Hey Cap, I think we might be able to track him after all," Tweak and Dashi grinned at each other started explaining how we can track where Peso is. It sounds legit and I really hope it works.

I told him I should've gone but he didn't listen...again. He thinks that we all treat him like a child and he hates it. But we're just trying to look out for him. He's the youngest and the one who I get along with the most. If he goes, then I don't know what I'd do.

"...So Cap, what you think?" I heard Tweak saying as I zoned back in.

"I think it's a great plan Tweak. Whens the soonest you'll have it ready?" Barnacles replied.

Tweak took the finishing bite of her carrot and chewed thoughtfully. "Well with Dashi's help, I'd say around, 3 days to a week at most."

I gaped at her. "A week!? Really Tweak!? We need to find Peso now! Before anything bad happens to our little Penguin buddy!"

That little outburst caused the whole room to fall silent and turn to look at me. The Captain raised an eyebrow and started to speak when Tweak interrupted him.

Tweak just rolled her eyes and smirked, "woah there tiger. I know you're worried bout your future hubby but we need to get this done. You can help if you want and it'll go faster if you do. Awww you're blushing!!" She squealed as a deep blush coated my cheeks as I huffed and turned away.

The whole crew started laughing and thinking of ship names for me and Peso.

"So Kwazii, how long you liked Peso for?" Professor Inkling asked, curiosity filled his voice.

So thats how the rest of the afternoon went. Me telling them how long I've liked Peso, what made him attractive to me, How'd I come to what my sexuality is.

And that's when Tweak and Dashi started jumping up and down, shouting how they're not the only "homosexual on this ship", and then they started getting questioned. And they were loving it.

I sat back in my seat and smiled to myself.

I'm so happy to have such a supportive team who won't judge me and will love and support me for who I am.
