If The Octonauts were Mean Girls (COMPLETED)

Meeting The Plastics

"The Plastics... who are The Plastics?" Peso inquired.

"They're teen royalty. If Northshore was us, we'd always be undercover," Kwazii explained.

Tweak gestured towards the polar bear donning a cottagecore outfit, who unsuccessfully attempted to sip his soda through his nose using a straw.

"That one there, that's Barnacles Polar Bear. He's one of the dumbest guys you'll ever meet," Tweak elaborated. "Kwazii sat next to him in English last year."

"He asked me how to spell 'orange'!" exclaimed the cat.

Next, Tweak indicated the sea otter with disheveled brown hair, clad in a Dark Academia outfit.

"That tall one, that's Shellington Sea Otter," Tweak described. "He's involved in everyone's business and knows everything about everyone."

"That's why his hair is so big and fluffy; it's full of secrets," Kwazii whispered conspiratorially.

Peso glanced at The Plastics' table, then back at Tweak and Kwazii, and decided to keep his distance, choosing instead to sit with some of the most remarkable creatures he'd ever met.

"May I sit with you guys?" Peso asked.

Kwazii and Tweak exchanged glances before turning to Peso.

"You can sit with us," Kwazii offered.

"Sure," Tweak agreed.

Suddenly, a girl spotted someone intimidating and panicked.

"TAKE COVER!" a girl shouted.

Everyone halted their activities, struck by fear as the person walked through the door.

"What's going on?" Peso queried.

"It's The Queen Bee herself! Don't look at her! Just don't!" Kwazii warned.

"Who?" Peso asked,

"Dashi Dog!" Tweak exclaimed. "DON'T LOOK AT HER!"

Despite the warnings, Peso couldn't resist gazing at the individual who instilled fear in the student body. It was a dachshund with striking red hair, dressed in a baddie outfit. Evil incarnate took the form of Dashi Dog... She might appear to be your typical self-centered, treacherous, doggy bone, but in reality, she was far more than that. She doesn't care who you are, she doesn't care how you feel. 

She was seated with her worker bees when Peso decided to head towards Tweak and Kwazii's table. However, before he could get there, Dashi's voice stopped him.

"Wait, who are you?" Dashi inquired, looking at Peso.

Peso was taken aback. He glanced around, wondering if she was addressing someone else, then pointed at himself, questioning if she meant him. Dashi nodded affirmatively.

"Yeah, come over here," Dashi beckoned with a friendly tone.

As Tweak and Kwazii attempted to persuade Peso to return to them, his curiosity got the better of him, and he sat down with the Plastics.

"Why don't I know you?" she asked with a smile.

"I'm new. I just moved here from the Antarctic," Peso explained.

"What?" Dashi probed further.

"I was homeschooled," Peso added.

"Wait, you've never been to a real school before?" Dashi asked, her smile widening.

Peso nodded slowly, and Dashi's smile grew even broader.

"Shut up... SHUT UP!" she exclaimed, still smiling.

"I didn't say anything," Peso responded, with a slight smile.

"Homeschooled, that's really interesting," Dashi remarked, crossing her arms.

"Thanks," Peso said.

"And you're really handsome," she complimented.

"Thank you," Peso replied, blushing slightly.

"So you agree," she pressed on.

"What?" Peso was confused.

"You think you're really handsome," Dashi smiled, then glanced at his necklace. "Oh my gosh, I love your necklace. Where did you get it?"

"Oh, this?" Peso touched his necklace. "Thanks, my Abuela made it for me."

"It's adorable," Dashi complimented.

"So, 'Fetch'," Shellington interjected.

"What is 'Fetch'?" Dashi turned to the sea otter.

"It's like slang from England," Shellington explained.

Barnacles looked on, confused, as he observed the penguin.

"So if you're from the Antarctic, why are you a bird?" he asked.

"Oh my gosh, Barny, you can't just ask people why they're a bird," Shellington chided.

"Can you give us some privacy for like one second?" Dashi asked,

"Sure thing," Peso responded with a nod.

As the Plastics deliberated, Peso exchanged glances with Tweak and Kwazii, who were puzzled by his new lunch companions. After a brief moment, all eyes were on Peso.

"Just so you're aware, this isn't a regular occurrence, so it's pretty much a big deal," Dashi stated emphatically.

"We'd be thrilled to have you join us for lunch every day for the rest of the week," Shellington announced, his smile wide enough to display the gap in his teeth.

Peso opened his mouth to reply, but—

"Great, see you tomorrow then!" Dashi interjected with a grin.

"On Wednesdays we wear pink," Barnacles added, tossing a casual reminder to the bird.
