I never could have guessed that my story would be appreciated by people around the world! People have read it in the US, Canada, and Ireland! That makes me so happy that people are (hopefully) enjoying this. I hope you like this chapter!
Kwazzii's POV: I told Peso to hold on, but the roof was open, how could I have missed that? Oh no! There is a giant wave. And before I could say anything Peso got washed way! Where could he be? I'll check for more waves before looking for him. No more, I'll go search.
In The Ocean…
Kwazzii wasn't steering so the Gup-H started to fall …and fast… it crashed into a rock in the water. Kwazzii made sure he was ok before going out to search for his missing companion. He realized his octo-alert button had fallen off oh no Peso's must have too! Kwazzii searched for around a half hour before finding him. By then he was too tired to go grab him he spotted some birds in the sky and flagged them down.
"Hello, what is it? What's wrong? You look tired and distressed." one bird asked Kwazzii in a gentle voice.
"ImtryingtohelpmefriendhefelloutofthewaterandI'mtootiredtosavehimpleasehelpme." Kwazzii said so fast they barely understood but they still did enough to know what happened.
"Hop on sir, I'm Periwinkle call me Perry. Now, what does he look like?" the same bird said.
Kwazzii felt relieved and answered as he climbed on the birds back," I'm Kwazzii and my friend is Peso he is a penguin. My friend Shellington has a nephew named Periwinkle"
Soon they dived into the water and paddled toward where Kwazzii said Peso was, sure enough he was there.
Kwazzii spotted him and cried with a mixture of dread, hope, fear, and relief, "There he be! Is he alright?
They scooped him up and noticed he needed help. Perry told Kwazzii their island was actually 10 yards away. They took the two to their island where luckily, there was a nice, not-so-warm cave.
Kwazzii tried to get the water out of him. He remembered doing this when a crew member fell overboard when he was a pirate. Peso started to cough and said "w-what happened?"
Kwazzii explained every detail with nothing added." And then I brought ye here." Kwazzii finished his story with.
Peso was dumbfounded, "How did you know what to do?" he asked Kwazzii.
" Me hearty when ye are on a ship in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of people and no medic; you have to know how to do CPR, to bandage a wound, to know signs of a concussion, to recognize signs of a cold( he added that one with a look at which Peso blushed), and to know how to tell if someone has something sprained or broken. Since I was a lower ranking pirate, I was the one to help everyone else, plus we were pirates, the others were more reckless than I was and kept on getting into duels sometimes they would get hurt so, I had my hands full sometimes. me says ye has a cold and a slight concussion." Kwazzii told Peso he stared with raised eyebrows-a sign of surprise-.
"You know you are way more experienced than I would ever have guessed. I think you are right, also you are coming with me to help all the creatures Anyway, what kind of birds are these?" Peso asked Kwazzii.
"I forgot to ask. I remember me said me would tell them how ye were when me was done taking care of ye. Should I ask now Peso?" Kwazzii responded.
"Oi! Perry!" Kwazzii asked his new friend.
Perry appeared looking offended," What? I'm just feeding my chicks. It might look gross, but it is how they survive. Ok"
Kwazzii was completely and utterly confused," What does ye mean? Me wasn't try'n to insult ye?"
"huh? What were you saying?" Both of them said in harmony.
"I'll explain first, in pirate "Oi" means excuse me" Kwazzii explained to his friend.
Perry now knew he wasn't making fun of her, so she explained what she meant "Oh here in Iceland "Oi" means eww"
They were no longer mad and confused. Kwazzii told Perry that Peso was alright.
Meanwhile in Florida...
"They should be back by now. What if something happened, what if they are in trouble and their buttons broke? Tweak I can't stand this anymore please let me go after them." The captain pleaded with Tweak.
"Cap, it only been four days since they left, you said it would take three to four days to get here from there. If they're not here by tomorrow, we will send out a search party. Ok?" Tweak tried to calm down the Captain who was currently practically bearing a whole in the floor since he has been pacing practically non-stop for four days straight. She felt sort of amused the Captain, the one in charge of everything, was pleading with her
"Fine, if they aren't back by exactly 10am I'll go look for them." Barnacles said in a relieved voice.
Back in Iceland…
"Well at least we know where we are. Can I read your book when you're gone it might tell us what kind of birds these are?" Peso asked Kwazzii.
Kwazzii was going to go retrieve their stuff from the Gup-H that way Peso would get better faster since his bag was in the water-proof part of the Gup. He was currently sleeping on leaves with a fire going in the cave. They were going to call the Octopod when Kwazzii got back.
"Sure, me hearty, just don't get out of the cave until I get back." Kwazzii responded as he left.
Kwazzii's POV:
Wow the gup crashed not too far away. I still have air in my tank so, I can go look. There are extra air tanks in the Gup, I'll use one when me gets there I'll just have to grab our bags and then come back to this island. Me didn't think the wreckage was this bad. I was astounded that the front was totally smashed it was not full of water though so that was a plus. I went in and found me Octo-Alert button! Me pinned it on me shirt, grabbed our bags, got a spare air tank, and went back to the island.
Peso's POV:
I feel so much better now that my concussion is gone. Let's see here, not them, not a bird, fish. Wait, I forgot there is a bird section! Wow, they are the first ones well duh, they start with "A". "The Atlantic Puffin is native to Iceland and feed their chicks, called Pufflings, by regurgitating fish into their beaks for the first few days. Oh! That's why she thought Kwazzii was grossed out! I have to tell Kwazzii when he gets back."
Back In Florida…
"I'll give them one more hour to call then I go, okay Tweak?" Barnacles said to a tired Tweak.
"Fine but why did you wake me up before dawn. If you aren't leaving till 10?" asked Tweak with a yawn.
"Sorry, but I couldn't stop thinking about what if they aren't alright, what if one of them is gravely injured? I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to them." Barnacles said with a sigh he looked like he was about to cry.
Tweak was shocked and tried to comfort him just then, they heard a noise from the screen behind them along with the Octo-Alert.
LOL! I didn't know that there was already a Periwinkle until I was done so I just had Kwazii acknowledge that there was already a Periwinkle so I made her Perry. What will happen next? You will find out sometime with in the next week. I had these all figured out but, the next one I still have to finish. BTW should I or should I not add the creature report?
