Octonauts Q&A

Peso

Peso squeaked in alarm and Amy laughed out loud.

"That's what we like here! Okay, I have a lot of questions for you so be prepared to answer anything--anything--we throw your way."

Peso squeaked again.

"Since this will be such a long chapter," Crash started.

"Chapter?" Kwazii questioned, confused.

"My bad," the fish-man said with a shake of his head. "Section of the interview. Anyways, since it will be quite a long one, let's jump straight to the raw questions."

"Okey!" said Amy. Usually, she was incredibly calm and attentive. Now, she was bouncing up and down on her chair, eager to start questioning the trembling little penguin in front of her. "Question one. Can you speak Spanish?"

"A little," admitted the medic.

"Can you say something?" Amy asked hopefully.

"Hola. Soy un Octonauta."

"Meaning?"

"Hello. I am an Octonaut."

"Very original," Crash mused.

"Must answers be?" Amy added philosophically. "Anyways, I didn't come here from Poland for that. Next question. How do you have such a great memory at remembering all of your relatives' names?"

"Well, can you remember all of your childhood friends? Say, the ones from preschool or daycare or whatever?"

"Well..." Amy answered, unsure. "Some of them. But there weren't nearly so many as the amount of penguins you seem to know, and besides, they didn't all have names beginning with P."

"I suppose that would make it harder," Peso shrugged. "Not all of them, though. Rocko, for example. I suppose because the only things I had when I was younger were my family, relatives and stories of my relatives who lived abroad. I knew quite a few of them before we met, simply from the tales I had heard. And given that was my entire childhood..." He trailed off and shrugged.

"Yeah, makes sense," Amy concluded. "Next question. Was medical school really that hard to pass or did you like pass on the first exam."

"Oh it was hard," Peso said immediately. "I'd have to study until two or three in the morning each night before a big exam. Of course, the whole memory thing helped. It didn't help that I used to faint at the sight of blood, though. When I first got there, I almost failed the first year. But one of my friends came over one night and ran me through absolutely everything, and surprisingly, I did okay in the last exam."

"One thing you'll have to learn about my little penguin pal," interrupted Kwazii. "Is that he's determined. Very determined."

"Yeah," laughed Dashi. "He might be absolutely terrified of what's down in the depths of the midnight zone, but he'll keep going anyways."

"If you think you're the bravest person you know, think again," added Shellington. "Coz you're staring bravery in the face when you look at Peso."

"I've only known Peso for around half an hour," Anastasia interjected. "And he is already one of the bravest people I know."

"Awwww, thanks guys," the little penguin said as he staggered out of a rather tight bear hug from Kwazii.

"That's so sweet," Amy said. Then to Crash: "I hope you're recording this." Crash merely gestured to the ceiling of the room, no doubt hiding multiple camera angles.

"What's the next question?" Peso asked, feeling somewhat braver than before. Amy checked her paper.

"Okay. If in need--like for example you were stuck on an islandand needed to know what herb would help you--do you have field knowledge of plants and stuff or did they not teach you in medical school?"
