This originally was based on a 100 prompt challenge I gave my self but it kinda turned into more. Let me know if you want to see more of this story!

"Duck."

Otis stood up quick at the name of that dreaded bird. "Where? Where?" He yelled as he looked around.

There was a chuckle. "Oh, Otis, you're still the same."

Otis then looked at who was talking to him. There was a 16-year-old girl with bright auburn hair and brown eyes. Red glasses sat on her nose and she was dressed in a beautiful red dress. But what told Otis who it was more than anything else was the smile that graced her lips. That smile that couldn't belong to anyone else.

"Olympia?"

"Surprise!"

Otis was confused, "But- How- Why-?"

"I had Oona zap me with the Older-inator! It made me 5 years older!" Olympia exclaimed. "I thought coming to your school as a 11-year-old would look a little strange, so BLAMO! Here I am!"

"But, why my school dance?" Otis asked.

"That is a great question." Olympia admitted, "but that's not important." She paused for a second. "How have you been?"

Otis just looked at her. "As well as can be expected."

Olympia frowned. She grabbed Otis' hand and pulled him out into the halls to get away from the noise inside the gym.

Once she did, she looked at him. "Otis, I'm so sorry about what happened."

Otis sighed, "It wasn't your fault."

"But I feel like it is. I should have defended you more-"

"Then you would have been kicked out, too, Olympia."

"But you didn't do it!"

"I know, Olympia. I know." They just stood there in silence for a moment, until Otis said, "I've missed you, partner."

Olympia looked at him and smiled, "I've missed you, too."

Otis smiled back. "But, why are you here?"

Olympia's smile then faded. "Odd Squad needs you back, Otis."

Otis was confused, "What?"

"We have a case we need your help with." Olympia explained. She then sighed. "Ms. O realizes now that you didn't tell your dad where Odd Squad was."

Otis was silent for a moment before responding. "What's the case?" He was scared he already knew.

"It's about your dad."

That confirmed it. He probably would have turned anyone else away if they came to him after what happened, but this was Olympia, his old partner, and probably his best friend.

But before he could think it all through, Olympia started, "I understand if you don't want to help, Otis. I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to think about Odd squad ever again-"

"Olympia,"

She looked to him.

"I'll do it for you."

Now it was Olympia's turn to be confused, "What?" She asked.

"I've missed you, even more than you know, Olympia." Otis said, a small blush forming on his cheeks. "You were a friend to me when I was having all those doubts about my dad and myself, and I felt so alone once I left the squad." He smiled. "I'll come back for you, Olympia."

Olympia smiled one of her giant smiles and hugged Otis.

Otis was a little taken aback, but realized he should have expected it.

He was going back after 5 years.

Back to the Odd Squad.

Btw: The whole 'Otis's dad' thing isn't actually what I think is his background but I thought it would be good for this story!
