My take on how the Octonauts, well, became the Octonauts. I've always wondered how they have become since I was young and would watch the series with my younger sibling, especially ever since "The Octopod Mystery" episode aired, so I decided to write my thoughts down onto paper! Hope y'all enjoy! Author's Note: In all my Octonauts works, Dashi will be speaking with an Australian accent (Original UK version) and Peso will be speaking with a Hispanic accent (US dub). There is some shipping featured in the later chapters of this fanfic. If you don't like any of my personal ships, I respect your opinion, but please don't send me hate :) NOTE: I do not own the rights to characters and settings originally featured in the show or Octonauts: Above and Beyond. The Octonauts belong to Meomi, Silvergate Media, and Netflix.
