Chapter 10 - Peso and Shellington and the angel shark

Tweak and Kwazii were playing Super Mario Brothers on Tweak's Nintendo 64 while Sublime was blasting from the speakers.

Peso and Shellington went down to the Launch Bay "I smoke two joints in the morning. I smoke two joints at night!" Kwazii and Tweak chanted.

"what are they singing?" Peso asked, glancing at Shellington "a sublime song" Shellington answered.

Peso and Shellington went for a swim out of boredom.

Shellington and Peso swam around on the sea floor, until Shellington heard some strange noises "what was that?" Shellington questioned, Peso just shrugged its shoulders, Shellington whipped out his magnify glass and figured out what was making the noise. An Angelshark!

"I know what's the making the noise!" Shellington proclaimed, "it's an Angelshark! They're critically endangered! Come on Peso let's go see what's wrong!" Shellington guided, dragging Peso over to the hurt creature.

Shellington carefully swam towards the shark, he knew not to disturb it "hey there, is something wrong?" Shellington asked softly, the Angelshark nodded "well we're the Octonauts! I'm Shellington and this is Peso! We're here to help!" Shellington informed "Hi Peso! Hi Shellington! I'm Angie and my tail hurts" she frowned, showing the injury.

Her tail was bruised. Peso took a closer look "now hold still Angie!" Peso stated, wrapping the bandage around Angie's bruised tail "that feels so much better!" Angie remarked "thank you!" she said before swimming off into the distance "Bye Angie! Take care!" Shellington called, "adiós!" Peso called, both waving goodbye.

By the time Peso and Shellington got back Tweak and Kwazii were still playing video games and blasting Sublime and singing it at the top of their lungs, Peso went to the sick bay to restock some of it's supplies and Shellington went to his lab to read a book about Lion Fish for fun.

Shellington was very invested, taking long pages of notes and doodles as a slowed reverb version of "Why Bother" by Weezer played in the background.

However, the sound of his phone ringing interrupted his train of thought.

"Oh!" Shellington jolted up Pearl was calling him!

Shellington picked up the phone "hello!" Shellington greeted "hey there Shellie! How's it going?" Pearl greeted back "it's been going great!" Shellington beamed.

The two talked for a bit, mostly catching up and infodumping, Peso and Kwazii were also with him. However Shellington had almost forgotten to tell her one thing.

"Hey I think there's something you should know." Shellington began Pearl went silent, Shellington guessed she was confused "Im a fish." Shellington dropped the bombshell "huh?" Pearl mumbled "merman.." Shellington clarified "yeah he went to these weird ass sea caves and they turned him into a merman." Kwazii added "oh! Neat!" Pearl replied.

"We're not sure why it happened but we think it's pretty cool!" Peso chimed in, after Shellington and Pearl talked for a little longer they said their goodbyes and hung up.

"That went better than I expected." Shellington put simply, placing his phone in the desk, Tunip waddled into the room "dinner is done!" He said "what did he say?" Kwazii mrrped

"he said dinner is done" Shellington clarified, getting up from his chair and rushing down to the Octo-chute, Peso and Kwazii following behind.

The Vegimals had made garlic buttered noodles with some water on the side, Shellington sat down, along with Peso and Kwazii.

Captain Barnacles and Inkling were talking about something, Kwazii and Tweak were having a conversation about Sublime, Dashi and Shellington were talking about clams and Peso was playing with the Vegimals.
