Dear FanFiction, thank you SO much for giving me new chapter notification emails for my own fanfiction. I NEVER would have known about the updates otherwise. /s

It was a fair afternoon under the sea. All of the Octonauts were out on a mission, leaving the Vegimals to mind the Octopod all on their own. They were innocently playing with the pots and pans in the kitchen when Tunip hopped up on the table to announce something.

"Cheepa Cappy waka waya!" Tunip informed the other Vegimals that he thought it would be a great surprise if they could fix some of the problems in the Octopod before the rest of the Octonauts returned. The other Vegimals babbled in agreement, and they all set out to do so.

Tunip infiltrated the library. His plan was to find the missing checker piece. He first checked in the obvious spots; under the checkers table and its chair. The missing piece was not there. He then looked all over the floor. Not there either. He grumbled for a bit, and went to the upper part of the library. He noticed that on one shelf, one of the books was placed lying down instead of stood up, and there appeared to be something under the cover. He picked up the book and out fell the missing checker. He picked it up and placed it back with the rest of the set.

Barrot entered the lab and went to the back room. Shellington had been reorganizing his books before being called out into the mission, and so they were everywhere. He checked the one finished shelf and learned that he was sorting by both colour and author name. All of the red-covered books were in order, and he was starting with the orange-covered books. Barrot looked for the next book in order, and found Urchins and Starfish and Big Ol' Guitarfish by Luanne Leopard. He slipped it into the shelf, and continued to do so for the rest of the books.

Codish toddled into the launch bay. He wanted to help Tweak by cleaning the gunk off of the GUP-C. He picked up a sponge and tried to climb on top of the GUP. It was a struggle, as the GUP-C was very large and Codish had little legs, but he made it up. He chirped to himself as he sponged up a mixture of algae, sea slime, and mud. Unfortunately, this mixture was very slippery. Codish tripped and fell into the launch bay pool. He flailed a bit before he surfaced, and upon realizing that he would have to climb all the way back up, he scowled and grumbled.

Grouber went up to HQ. He had overheard Elekai complaining about never being able to fix the hot chocolate machine, so he tried to figure out what was wrong with it. He fiddled with all the buttons, and learned that the dispenser was clogged. He made sure it was turned off and reached into the dispenser. He found the blockage, and after some wiggling, pulled out a clump of melted-together marshmallows. He decided to eat the strange-looking franken-marshmallow, and then tried again. This time, the hot chocolate machine worked like normal. He chittered happily to himself and removed the "out of order" sticker.

Tominnow slipped into Deborah's bedroom. She had heard her saying at breakfast that she needed to repair a rip in one of her dresses. She found the dress on a chair, with a bubblegum pink thread sewn halfway through the tear. She picked up the needle and poked it through the other side. After a few clumsy missteps, she got the hang of sewing and sewed the dress shut. She was proud of herself for a minute, and then was immediately distracted by the manga that Deborah had left on her bedside table.

Later, all of the Octonauts returned to the Octopod, weary and tired. They all went to either HQ to sit down or to their quarters to lie down.

"I can't believe that mission took four hours," said Elekai. "It was totally wild." He noticed that the "out of order" sticker was missing from the hot chocolate machine. He put a mug under it and tested it, and it worked like a charm.

"Well, what do ya know?" He turned to the other Octonauts. "It works again."

Just then, the rest of the Octonauts came running into HQ.

"You're not going to believe this, Captain! My books; they're all organized!"

"Cap, someone's completely cleaned the GUP-C!"

"The missing checker piece is back."

"Someone fixed my dress for me!"

Captain Barnacles was dumbfounded, but then smiled when he saw the Vegimals hiding and giggling to themselves. "I guess there must be little helping angels in this Octopod…"

I don't want to do an outro and you can't make me.
