Octonauts QnA+Dares

Inkling's Misery

"Sooooooooo," Tweak peered up at Shellington, who was currently in possession of the tablet and watching Bill Nye, The Science Guy on it, "We got anything new?" Shellington only shrugged, too engrossed in his show to care about trivial things like dares.

Can I check?" Tweak asked as Shellington clutched it close to his chest.

"The Captain said it was my turn." He defended as Tweak rolled her eyes.

"But can I borrow it for five minutes, please?"

"Alright, but after this episode." She sighed and put a paw to her forehead. Of course. Shellington wouldn't miss his beloved Bill Nye for the world.

"Alrighty, we got our dare!" Tweak announced to the room as everyone cheered. Finally, that took forever. "I'm a little late cos someone." Here she gave Shellington a very dirty look, "was a little too busy watching his stupid science show."

"The Captain said it was my turn!" He exclaimed, blushing a brilliant pink.

"I did, Tweak." Captain Barnacles reprimanded her sternly, and Tweak pouted.

"Fine, but can I at least read the dare." She gave him her best puppy-dog eyes.

"Alright then." Captain Barnacles sighed as Tweak began to read.

"From @angelteez, Is Inkling available for a dare?"

"No!" Professor Inkling refused as all the kids exclaimed,

"YES!"

"Yes, he is." Tweak answered brightly as the Professor attempted to gesture for her to spare him, "I dare him to do everything with two tentacles for a day, meaning he can't multitask. (I thought of this when I remembered he would sometimes help the Vegimals bake.)

"Well then." Professor Inkling sighed, "I suppose I'm required to take on this dare?"

"Yay!" All the kids yelled as Inkling gave them a scathing look.

"Oh, alright! If it means so much to you!" He put a tentacle to his head, "Just start the time now."

"With pleasure." Tweak giggled.

"Professor Inkling?" Shellington sheepishly peeked into the Library.

"Yes, my boy?" Inkling sighed. Using only two of his tentacles had taken a lot out of him He'd been so used to having all 8 that only using two appendages was rather difficult.

"Do you, by any chance, have a book on the anatomy of the immortal jellyfish." Shellington asked hopefully as Professor Inkling smiled.

"I'm sure I do, Shellington. Allow me to go and find it for you." Professor Inkling went to the bookshelf and climbed a quarter of the way up the ladder before he heard called again.

"Your dare." Shellington reminded him apologetically and gestured towards his tentacles, six of which were clinging to the ladder.

"Ah, yes." The Professor muttered, "Quite right." And immediately unhooked two of them from the ladder as he started to pull books out from the shelf with two of his tentacles and stack them- oh right, he was only allowed to use two of his tentacles at a time. So with a sour look, Professor Inkling put his books back onto the bookshelf and turned to Shellington. This was going to take longer than he thought.

"My apologies, dear boy. This may take a while." He apologized as graciously as he could. Why on Earth did the fans have to make life so difficult? They liked him after all, didn't they?
