[Paused for now](Octonauts) The life of a failure

Intro

(This is told in lots of different pov's. I will tell you who is talking at what point,  don't worry!)

Shellingtons pov:

It was a buitiful sunny day out in the ocean. I was helping Pearl, my big sister, to look after the red urchin problem in the Kelp. I knew I wasn't much help, but I was good enough to help with rounding them up, at least.

Everyone around for miles would know I was different. Being a Sea Otter, who, you know, can't do what they were literally created to do...

People loved to point it out, too. If Pearl wasnt with me I would constantly be getting side looks from passers by and lots of snickers from little kids who know way to much. I just put on my headphones and keep swiming. If there is one song the described, it was 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' by Green Day. 

Other than being a little kid with the most unfortunate problems ever, I also had to live with my apperiance changing. I was a teen at the time, so naturally my body was changing in ways I didn't like. I had glasses and desperately needed braces. I also had dark circles under my bloodshot eyes which blended real well with the vampire colour skin I had already. I wasn't exactly tall either, being only 4 foot when most kids my age, 16, we're 4 foot 5 inch at least. Thank all of Posiden I didn't have any zits. 

Anywho! To much information! On with the story! So... where was I again? Oh yeah, there. 

So I was helping my sister gather up the urchins in a big pile so she could bring them back to the cave where we kept them all. "Good job, Shelly!" Pearl exclaimed. "We will have this wee bit of the forest done by lunchtime!" 

"Corection. Lunchtime for you. Scavenging time for me." I shouted from where I was standing. It's not often I get an opportunity to correct Pearl, so I always took it. 

"Wow. Good one Shelly. You picked up on that one fast" She swam over to where I was, next to a big pile of rocks with a few crabs crawling around the base. I turned to face her but she must have realise I was running out of breath because she grabbed my gloved hand and started the frantic swim up to the surface for air. When I stuck my head out from under the salty waves, I gulped in about 10 times more air than I needed, being so close to forgetting that I needed air to live. "Are you OK Shellington?" 

Her voice made me jump in my skin. I almost forgot about her for a moment. "Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm alright. Thank you." 

"Your welcome. Please start rememberingthis yourself though! It scares me half to death every time!" A sudden tang of guilt washed over me as I realised what I had done, yet again. I swam over to my big sister and wrapped my hands around her as in a tight hug.

"Sorry Pearl. I didn't mean to-" I was cut off mid sentence.

"Don't worry, Shelly. I know your sorry. Just try be more carefulwith your life next time, OK?" 

"Alright" I replied. "Now. Let's go put those urchins in the cave so Ma and Pa can have some!" 

A/N: 

OMG I LOVE THIS VERSION OF SHELLINGTON! 

I decided to make him act like me, so he will have a strange love for 'Green Day' and his main outfit is a benny hat, one of those jumper/jacket/shirts, blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and basketball shoes. You know what? I'll just show you.

That's the jacket

That's the shoes and the colour of the jeans

I don't have a beeny but I do have a hat I can try do his hair with

Imagin he just has a curly fringe, OK? It's much quicker.

He also wears biker gloves when helping with urchins.

Yes, his gloves actually fit him but I haven't bin on a more bike since I was 8 so I just used what I had
