Dashi stared at her crewmate in utter shock.
"In all my life I had never thought I would see you voluntarily listen to that song," she said, incredulous at Kwazii, who had come to return Dashi's headphones. He had, apparently, being using it to practice his new saxophone, along to the songs Dashi was staring at on the headphone's song history list.
And on the top of that list was Careless Whisper.
"Well..." Kwazii said, trying to whip back a response. "It's a very common song for new sax players to learn."
"But... I'm sorry, I just didn't think you'd learn it."
"Someone needs to manage the sound effects whenever you and Shellington get all lovey-dovey."
"I'm not going to even try and unravel the logic behind that one," Dashi said with a shake of her head.
"That's cause you can't argue against it," nodded Kwazii, satisfied.
"No it's because I..." Dashi sighed. "I got work to do. See you at dinnertime."

Dashi decided to take a shower before dinner. Having just swam through a couple coral reefs and cleaning up an algal bloom, she didn't feel like she was exactly the epitome of cleanliness. She had wiped herself down, but algae on fur was an experience not easily forgotten.
Ew.
She took of her clothes, chucking them into the small laundry bin in the corner of the bathroom, and turned on the shower. She waited shivering a moment before entering.
Oh damn that was good. Nothing like hot water to get rid of algae stains.
Around ten minutes later, Dashi walked out feeling like a goddess, wearing just an Octonauts-branded bathrobe. It wasn't like the Octonauts would really care. And besides, Dashi was pretty sure Shellington would love it.
Smiling, she left for HQ.

Shellington was sitting at the table, early for dinner. Dashi was just finishing her shower, Peso was cleaning up after a long day in the sick bay and Kwazii was nowhere to be seen.
Peso entered, flapping as fast as he could on those little flippers of his.
"Sorry I'm late everyone... Oh I'm not even the last person to arrive."
Peso took a seat and started talking about the day with Tweak, who then declared that she was going to build an improved version of the nurse-bots to help Peso out in the sick bay. The Captain and Inkling were talking about storms on the radar and the Vegimals were scurrying around preparing the meal.
Dashi came down the Octochute.
She was beautiful.
Absolutely breathtaking.
Like Aphrodite come from the sea, Dashi walked towards them. Her hair was a little wet, and instead of being pinned up behind her usual clips, it hung loose down to her chin. She wore nothing but her bathrobe, which didn't even properly cover her collarbone and damn she looked seductive.
Dashi opened her mouth as if to speak and then a poorly played rendition of Careless Whisper filled the air.
"Kwazii!" Shellington said, a little irritated. "Can't my girlfriend just look sexy without the stupid saxophone?"
