Author's note: Ok this is the final chapter of this story. Thank you for all the support and the reviews! Please keep reviewing! I plan to write more fanfiction and I have an idea for another Octonauts story but can't say what it is right now. I'll probably do it sometime during my Christmas break unless I decide to start early. Busy with school right now! Oh and one more thing, I decided to do Barnacles and Kwazii together because according to Story Lover149's story "We are the Octonauts" they both meet each other and got hired at the same time and I thought it would be cool to have them travel together and start to form a relationship with one another. Well, enjoy the ending of the story!
Chapter 5: Barnacles and Kwazii
"Ok perfect!" Barnacles said finished combing his fur.
Barnacles looks in the mirror. Barnacles had just finished getting ready for the ceremony. Today was the big day. He, Kwazii and the rest of the crew were officially becoming Octonauts. And the ceremony was just a few minutes away. Barnacles and Kwazii had just gotten off their plane.
"Kwazii are you ready?"
Kwazii looks over at Barnacles.
"Iye" Kwazii replied.
Barnacles and Kwazii then left the bathroom when they first walked outside the airport there were reporters and news show people surrounding them asking questions, tapping them on the shoulders, swarming them like flies.
"Sorry me hearties but we don't have time for this! We have to get to the ceremony!" Kwazii said but no one heard him.
They both finally got free and then more people rush over to them. Waving pieces of paper wanting autographs, pictures with them. It was just chaos.
"Captain, we need to get out of here and fast!" Kwazii shouted to Barnacles.
"Look there's a taxi over there! Oh and I'm not a captain yet, we may never get to the ceremony!" Barnacles shouted back to Kwazii.
They both approached the taxi.
"Can we hitch hike a ride to the Octonauts ceremony me hearty?" Kwazii asked the man who was driving the taxi.
"Why sure you can!" The man said with a southern accent.
Barnacles and Kwazii both got in the taxi. The airport wasn't far from the ceremony. But the crowd of people was still chasing them.
"It's like we're celebrities!" Barnacles said while watching the people chase them from behind.
The man makes the taxi go faster.
"Yeow! This is exciting!" Kwazii exclaimed.
Once they got on the road, the people stopped chasing them.
"Finally that's over!" Barnacles said relieved.
"Thanks for helping us back there me hearty."
"Oh no problem I do it all the time for people like you."
A few minutes later they arrived at the ceremony. Barnacles gives the man the money for the ride and they both get out of the taxi. And there was a blue carpet going into the entrance.
"Oh good you finally made it here!" Inkling said just walking up to them. "We need you to line up right there with everyone else, we're starting in a few minutes."
Barnacles and Kwazii then both walk over to where the entrance starts. They both started to talk to the other crew members Peso, Shellington, Dashi and Tweak. Barnacles and Kwazii both thought that the professor had chose well. Each one of them were nice and well suited for their jobs. They couldn't wait to work with them. Then the ceremony finally began. The crew then walked the (blue) carpet to answer interviewers' questions, pictures for newspapers and magazine etc. Then they walked over to a big opening out by the Atlantic Sea and the Octopod was parked on the beach. Then Inkling walks over to the podium with a microphone.
"Hello everyone! We are here today to show the world the very first explorers team, The Octonauts! Our goal is to Explore, Rescue, and Protect the oceans all over the world. We are glad you are all here with us today. And I will now present, each member of the crew an Octonaut hat." Inkling stated.
"When I call your name step forward."
"Tweak, since you are going to be our engineer, a hat would get in the way while you work, so I present you an Octonaut tool belt!"
Inkling hands Tweak the tool belt.
"Dashi, our photographer I present you an Octonaut hat." Inkling puts the blue hat on Dashi's head.
"Shellington, our Marine Biologist I present you an Octonaut hat." Inkling puts the blue hat on Shellington's head.
"Peso, our medic I present you an Octonaut Medic hat." Inkling puts the white hat on Peso's head.
"Kwazii, our Lieutenant I present you an Octonaut hat." Inkling puts the blue hat on Kwazii's head.
"And Barnacles, our captain I present you an Octonaut Captain's hat." Inkling puts the large blue hat on Barnacle's head.
"I now present you the Octonauts!" Inkling finishes.
The crowd cheers. Guest speakers and Ocean experts come in and say some speeches and gave them some advice. Then (finally) the Octonauts left on the Octopod for their adventures.
THE END!
