Octonauts QnA+Dares

Out of Place

Everyone had been sitting in the Game Pod awkwardly for around 10 seconds or so before Kwazii began to complain of boredom.

"Isn't there anything to do?" He asked for what seemed like the 12th time.

"Yeah," Tweak replied, "You can do me a favor and shut up." Kwazii hissed defensively as Tweak stuck her tongue out at him.

"That's enough now." The Captain stood up and placed a paw on both of his "children's" chests, "I think we're all a little too bored. Does anyone know how we could pass the time?"

"Tabwet?" Tomminow suggested innocently, looking out at the Captain from her spot in Shellington's arms.

"Do you want to go do a dare on the tablet, my little sprout?" The Captain asked, taking Tomminow from Shellington and bouncing her up and down on her knee. The little sprout in question only giggled and clapped her tiny flippers.

"Let's read this together, shall we?" The Captain picked of the tablet and perched it on his other knee. "Oh, here's an older one. It says, from @XxUser_AngelxX, I dare Shellington to not talk about science for a whole day."

Everyone winced at the date. It was a known fact on the Octopod that Shellington adored science, and dedicated much of his time to research.

"The- the whole day?" Shellington fidgeted nervously with his paws as all the Vegimals waddled up to him and buried their faces deep into his fur.

"Me sowwy." Tomminow murmured, her eyes fulfilling with tears and her bottom lip beginning to tremble.

"Oh, sweetness." Shellington scooped her up in his arms and planted a soft kiss on her forehead, "There's no need to be sorry, my love. You didn't know what that question was."

"It's what the dare said." The Captain sighed, his heart breaking at the sight of his children's sad faces, "You'll be alright, Shellington, I promise." And the Captain gently embraced Shellington, who snuggled into the embrace of his Captain, his surrogate father. Maybe this wouldn't be too hard after all.

"To take Shellington's mind off his current dare," Dashi giggled at the otter's look of utter confusion and shock, "How about we do another?"

"A-alright then." Shellington stuttered, still rather shocked at the fact Dashi, and everyone else for that matter, wanted to help him win his dare.

"From @Uniquedoll602, I dare someone, maybe one of the kids, like Pinto, it doesn't have to be, to play dolls with Peso."

"Not it!" Pinto raised both his flippers.

"Woah, they specifically said your name, Saukerl." Jane argued, looking back to the tablet.

"Can you read, Pendeja?" Pinto rolled his eyes and pointed at the tablet, "They said it DIDN'T HAVE TO BE ME!"

"I'm not doing it!" Jane put her paws up too.

"Me neither." Squirt put two of his tentacle up. All four of them looked towards Koshi.

"Ooh, arschloch, looks like you're doing it." Pinto shook his head, giggling.

"What?!" But they said it could be anyone!" Koshi protested.

"Yes, but they SPECIFICALLY mentioned us, so we should probably do it, and you called 'not it' last, so you do it" Squirt patiently explained, trying not to giggle.

"Alright, fine." Koshi grumbled and rubbed her temples. Being bested by little siblings was always a lot of fun.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Koshi, thank you so much for agreeing to this." Peso finally said after they had been playing for a while.

"Oh, it's no problem." Koshi answered nonchalantly, barely looking up from the little penguin doll she currently held.

"Did the little siblings make you do it?" Peso smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, I guess." Koshi shrugged, "But it's alright. I like playing with you."

"And I with you." Peso responded, giving her a sweet kiss on the top of her head, "You're a good big sister, Koshi." Koshi glowed with embarrassment and looked down.

"Not really." She mumbled, "Jane and I never get along."

Peso chuckled, "No one ever said siblings ever had to get along. But I know you two love each other. Like when you two fight. You'll always stop before one of you gets hurt."

"Thanks Peso." Koshi smiled and hugged him tightly, "I bet you're a good brother too."

"Y-you mean it?" Peso asked, surprised, and melted in her embrace.

"The best." Koshi reassured him, and it was their mutual agreement that for once, being bested by little siblings wasn't all bad.
