Chapter Text
The Octonaut alert rang out throughout the Octopod. Not unusual in the slightest so Dashi got up from her station and headed down to where Captain Barnacles had called everyone, which was Sickbay.
Tweak, who was being more fidgety than normal, spoke up. “Cap, is this about the Vegimals?”
The Vegimals had come down with Veggie Pox again and we're obviously very uncomfortable and sick.
Captain Barnacles sighed quietly before speaking. “Yes. So we are out of red algae and Kwazii, Peso, and I need to go get some more. Unfortunately, we are also out of Fish biscuits. All of our leftovers are in the GUPs. And with the Vegimals currently sick-”
Kwazii, ever the impatient cat, starts talking over the captain. “So you need one of us to bake more?”
“Yes Kwazii.”
Shellington thinks for a moment before speaking. “What about the Professor? He bakes with the Vegimals all the time.”
“The Professor is off with his nephew this time of year Shellington.”
“That he is. Sorry Captain.”
Tweak pipes up with an idea “I could make the-”
“No.”
“What? Why not?”
“The last time you used the kitchen was the only time I had to use a fire extinguisher, Tweak.”
Tweak rubs the back of her neck. “Heh.. oh yeah..”
Dashi was quiet for a moment before coming to a realization. “Wait, Captain, with you, Kwazii, and Peso going to get the algae, the Professor being away, and Tweak having a life long ban from the kitchen, that only leaves me and Shellington.”
“We could bake together, Dashi.”
“Would that be okay with you Captain?”
“As long as the biscuits get made and we aren't in the papers for the first under water fire I'm okay with it.”
Shellington and Dashi both nod.
“Alright. Kwazii Peso, you're both with me in the GUP-A.”
