Octonauts QnA+Dares

Not Over Yet

"Are there any more?" Kwazii whined, dramatically throwing himself onto a beanbag chair.

"Yep, there's more!" Tweak chirped happily, reveling in Kwazii's misery.

"Uggggggghhhhhhhh." Kwazii groaned and rolled off of the beanbag chair with a little 'umph'.

"But none of them are for you." Tweak finished smugly and giggled at Kwazii's dumbfounded expression and reached her arm out to Dashi, who gave her the tablet, "From @Uniquedoll602, For Captain Barnacles; Who is the worst person you've ever known?"

The Captain thought for a second before responding, "I don't believe I've really known anyone who was an inherently bad person. I believe that all people have parts of themselves that are better than other parts of them. I suppose I've only tried to look for the good in people and not focus on the bad."

"Which is the Captain's way of saying that yes, he has met his fair share of jerks, but he's too much of a big fluffy teddy bear to call them out for it." Tweak teased, "Anyways, lets not torture the Captain by making him expose someone he's definitely too nice to expose and move on!"

"Yarr, what's next?" Kwazii asked unenthusiastically; he knew from experience that usually, a chapter of any Octonauts QnA was not complete unless he was tortured in some way. His hypothesis was later confirmed once Tweak and Dashi began giggling over the tablet, and then handed it over to Peso, who began to chuckle as well.

"What does it say?" Kwazii moaned, pretending to pass out onto a fluffy pillow conveniently laying on the ground.

"It's from @TheRaidy_Ava, and it says, 'I dare Kwaz to show his most embarrassing pic ever."

"Do I have toooooooo?" Kwazii whined in a way that would put the kids when they had to go to Inkling's class to shame.

"Yes." Dashi grinned mischievously.

"But you didn't make the Captain do his!" Kwazii protested, crossing his arms and pouting like an overgrown toddler.

"I wasn't gonna make the Captain talk crap about nobody." Tweak explained like she was talking to a 4 year old, "He's way too nice for it, but you I'm only too happy to embarrass."

"You're mean." Kwazii pouted as Tweak stuck her tongue out at him.

"If he isn't gonna show it, I will." Dashi rubbed her paws together deviously as she reached behind her for her camera. Everyone clustered around her minus Kwazii, who was too busy sulking the corner to even care what the photo was. As Dashi showed the photo to everyone, they all began to giggle. A very grumpy looking Kwazii in a poofy, yellow dress and bright red lipstick was visible in the little window of Dashi's camera, and once everyone had seen it, no one could contain their mirth.

"Why would you put him in that yellow dress of all things?" Shellington wheezed, brushing tears out of his eyes as Dashi and Tweak shared a reminiscent look.

"OK, so Dash, the kids, and I wanted to recreate "The Schuyler Sisters" from "Hamilton", and we worked out that I'd be Angelica, Dashi would be Eliza, but we still had to find a Peggy because neither of the girls wanted to do it, so Pinto suggested we ask Kwazii and..." Tweak's voice trailed off as she dissolved into giggles.

"The kids asked Kwazii, and he cannot say no to the kids in any way, shape, or form, so he put on the dress and let Dashi put makeup on him." Dashi continued.

"It was a mistake." Koshi deduced.

"Big mistake." Squirt agreed, "Kwazii can't sing at all."

"Eh, but at least he tried." Pinto suggested, "Thanks for embarrassing yourself for us Kwazii." He called to the pirate and gave him the sweetest smile he could.

"I hate all of you." Kwazii growled with gritted teeth, but he was smiling. At least his little mateys were happy. That was all that had mattered to him.

"Maybe we should move on to the next one now." The Captain chuckled good-naturedly.

"Aye, we still have the Captain's last text message." Shellington piped up.

"That we do, Shel." Tweak chirped brightly and gave the Captain a little grin as he took his phone out of his pocket and placed it in her paw.

"Who's the text from?" Pinto asked innocently as he waddled to Tweak's side and she pulled him into her lap. 

"Oh, would you look at that! It's from your brother, chick!" Tweak exclaimed happily and tapped Pinto on the beak as the little one in question giggled."

"What does it say?" Pinto asked eagerly, leaning over to catch a glance at Tweak's phone. 

"Oh, it's talking about the Captain losing weight?" Tweak reread the text again, unsure if she was seeing things or not, then looked up at the Captain with an expression of both worry and confusion.

The Captain looked sheepish, "I'm putting on a little weight, and I asked Peso if it was safe to lose it all."

"Peso said, 'No, Captain. You're at a healthy weight, please do not try and diet. It won't be good for your health especially since you do a daily workout. And you're perfect the way you are. We'll love you at any size, we promise." Pinto had somehow snatched Tweak's phone from her and was reading the text messages.

"I agree." Tweak slid Pinto off her lap and sat next to Captain, "It don't matter if you put on weight or not. We all just want you to be healthy, Cap."

"Yeah, big guy." Kwazii winked at the Captain and gave him a hug, "You're perfect the size you are. And between you and me, a little more softness makes your hugs even better." 

The Captain could not believe his ears; his crew, his family, was rallying around HIM and telling him they loved him no matter what.

"Oh, just one thing Cap." Tweak added."

"What is it?" The Captain asked, wondering if it would be good or a roast on Kwazii's weight.

"If you do lose a whole bunch of weight, we will force-feed you kelp cakes."
