Odd Squad one shots {requests are open}

Stronger together (Otis x Olympia)

Olympia and Otis had just finished successfully solving another case, and they were currently hanging out at the park to celebrate. They were sitting on the swings when Olympia noticed someone with a hot dog cart in the distance, happily selling them to people who walked by.

"Look, Otis. A hot dog cart." Olympia said to her partner, tapping his shoulder to get his attention. She knew how much he loved hot dogs.

"I'll go get some for us. Do you want ketchup or mustard?" Otis asked her, standing up.

"Both please." Olympia reacted with a huge smile as Otis chuckled before walking off to get the snacks.

Just then, a girl with long, brown hair and a smug smirk on her face walked up to Olympia, causing the red head agent to sigh internally when she saw her.

"Hey, long time no see." the girl said to her, placing her hand on her hip sassily. Olympia forced herself to smile even though she knew where this was going. This girl bullied her everytime she would see her, which had been happening for a while.

"Hi, Brenda. Actually we just saw each other yesterday." Olympia pointed out, mentally recalling how mean Brenda had been then as well.

"Well, I see you still haven't changed that crazy hairstyle. It makes you like a first grader honestly." Brenda rudely commented, her smirk still present.

"It's just a ponytail...." Olympia trailed off as she tried her best not to let the comments bother her.

"Exactly. Maybe it's your red hair that's making it look bad. Have you considered coloring it a normal color? Maybe then you wouldn't look so weird."

"No, I think my hair is fine the way it is." Olympia stated, attempting to sound confident despite how her voice was shaking.

Brenda rolled her eyes. "Of course you do. You've always been odd. I guess that's why you joined that odd squad place? Because you don't mind being odd, no matter how stupid it makes you look." she said before letting out a dry chuckle.

Olympia bit her lip as she stared down at the grass, hurt by Brenda's stinging words. "Well, I think I'm fine the way I am." she tried to counter, but Brenda just scoffed.

"Whatever. Anyway, I have to get going. I'm meeting some friends, which, you'd know nothing about what that's like. Anyway, toodles!" she said, flipping her hair over shoulder before finally walking off.

Right at that moment, as if on cue, Otis was jogging up to Olympia with two hot dogs in hand, one with ketchup while the other was dressed in both ketchup and mustard.

Once Olympia noticed him, she instantly put on a smile, not wanting him to see how upset she had been. Otis didn't know that she was getting bullied, and Olympia had no intention of letting him find out. She refused to push her problems off on him, not to mention how embarrassed she felt about it.

"Here you go, partner." Otis said, handing her the hotdog that had both condiments on it.

"Thanks!" she beamed, taking a bite of the snack despite the fact that she wasn't very hungry anymore. She knew that Otis would just worry about her if she didn't eat.

"You ok there, partner?" Otis asked after a while, noticing how she seemed to be a little zoned out.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just.... thinking about how good this hot dog is." she fabricated, putting on her most convincing smile before completely changing the subject.

The next day was the day of the town's annual spring fair, and all of the odd squad agents were allowed to leave work early to go to the fair. Olympia and Otis had decided to go to the fair together, Olympia smiling widely when they finally arrived at the event.
