Chapter 4

Getting along

Periwinkle’s pov

Periwinkle finds it hard to make new friends. Everyone else just doesn’t have the same interests as he does. They always call him a nerd or teacher’s pet. Now he’s slowly walking to a big group of kids his age, all clearly not interested in anything other than adventure. Every now and then, Peri notices the artic fox’s hesitation as they walk side by side. Seeing how much more nervous she is kind of calms him down. After what feels like eons, the two finally reach the group of kids.

“Hi Peri, hi Ella”, Pinto happily greats his companions.

“Please don’t call me that”, the fox practically whispers.

“Sorry”, Pinto replies.

“What’s your name then?”, Orson asks.

“Stella”, the fox replies.

“And you’re Periwinkle, right?”, Ursa asks.

“Y-Yeah”, Peri answers.

“We were talking about our families and our homes, would you like to join us?”, Orson asks.

“Yeah! Join us!”, Ursa enthusiastically adds.

Peri shoots a glance at Stella to see what she’ll do. She avoids his stare and looks at her shoes.

“What are your interests?”, Squirt questions, noticing the hesitation of the sea otter and the fox.

“W-Well”, Periwinkle begins after Stella still refuses to look up from her shoes, “I’m interested in marine biology, just like my mother and my uncle. I’d like to travel around the world, discover new things, maybe even have the opportunity to name a new species the way my uncle named the Vegimals.” Peri could feel himself getting jumpy with excitement. He had completely forgotten why he agreed to come out of his comfort zone until now. With hope that the same will happen to her, Peri returns the question towards Stella.

“Oh, uhhh…I’m interested in science, specifically biology and physics. I’m also interested in exploring.”, she said calmly. It certainly was not the type of reaction Peri was expecting, but it will have to do.

“What do you do in your free time?”, Squirt asks.

“Reading mystery books!”, Koshi yells in excitement.

“Trying to build the tallest watchtower out of snow”, Pinto says proudly.

“Polar bear wrestling!”, the twins reply in unison.

“Helping my mom”, Peri answers while rubbing the back of his neck.

“Cool! I love reading science fiction books. What about you Stella?”, Squirk asks. The whole group turns towards the pup. Her face goes from white to bright pink at an alarming rate.

“Oh, uhhh…I also like reading. A-And I like helping my uncle”, she stutters in response. The group does not keep their stare off her; they can all tell that she’s not done listing what she does in her free time. Stella nervously shifts her gaze rapidly from one group member to the other.

“Okay, fine, I also play the guitar and write short stories”, she quickly answers. Silence fills the room as the group processes what they’ve just heard.

“You write stories?”, Orson slowly cuts the silence. After a few more quiet seconds, everyone else starts bombarding Stella with questions and requests to read her stories. Noticing the clear uncomfortable and panic in the pup’s facial expression, Peri pulls her out of the small crowd. The plan was to comfort the pup and tell the group to calm down, but now that he’s got everyone’s attention on him, he froze.

“Um, maybe we should leave her be?”, he manages the squeak. The group says their apologies towards the pup. Peri tries to read her facial expression, but all that he can see is her left side, which is covered by her hair. Despite this, he can tell that she’s still a little nervous by the way she’s squeezing his hand. Not knowing how to comfort her, all that he could think of is returning a small squeeze. Her grip slowly loosens and she becomes less tense.

“It’s fine”, she finally manages to say to the crowd that was still apologizing. Koshi and Squirt still look guilty, and Pinto refuses to accept that ‘it’s fine’.

“It’s fine, really, it’s normal to get excited. I don’t blame you one bit”, Stella said in a soft and calming tone. The twins exchange a look. Awkwardness fills the room once again. Peri shoots a glance towards Squirt, hoping that he still has some questions left. The octopus notices the unspoken requests and awkwardly asks another question: “So…is there a particular reason why you joined this Octonauts training?”

“Our uncle of course!”, Orson exclaims with joy.

“Speak for yourself. I joined simply because I want to explore the Ocean”, Ursa says with a dreamy tone.

“I joined for the mysteries. And to help other creatures of course”, Koshi says with a twinkle in her eye.

“Explore, rescue and protect. That’s the Octonauts motto, and that’s exactly what I want to do. I’ll swashbuckle and shwash-bandage! Kwazzi and Peso taught me that”, Pinto explains proudly.

“I joined because of my uncle. It sounds cool to be able to discover new things”, Peri says, before mumbling to himself: “Although I’d prefer to help mom.”

“I joined because I would love to have the opportunity to help others and explore the open Ocean”, Squirt answers. All attention is once again shifted on Stella.

“ *sigh* It was a last minute decision done by my uncle. I think he wants me to make more friends my age or something like that”, Stella replies, while noticeably avoiding eye contact. Despite this, it is clear that she’s getting more comfortable speaking to the group.

“So…you don’t want to be here?”, Pinto asks, slightly confused.

“No, no, I don’t mind. I’ll certainly learn a lot from this experience”, Stella quickly replies. Pinto gives her an uncertain look. Peri himself is not sure wether he believes her. “I’m telling the truth!”, she exclaims in an effort to make the others believe her. The doubt in the crowd does not change. Stella sighs as her gaze falls upon an Octo-shoot. Noticing this, Peri tries to stop her from leaving by grabbing her hand, before noticing that he never let go of it in the first place. He simply squeezes her hand to grab her attention. She looks away from the Octo-shoot and shifts her gaze towards her shoes.

The kids continue talking to each other for a while, trying to learn more about each other. Peri and Stella stay quiet, only talking when spoken too. After what feels like a decade, the group is finally called to the HQ by captain Barnacles.

“Welcome aboard the Octopod, future Octo-agents. Each and every one of us is glad that you have decided to spend these next few months with us. We hope that you feel comfortable here and enjoy your time being an Octo-agent in training. We are currently traveling to Octo-agent Min to help her with her work. This will give you the opportunity to experience what it is like working in her field of expertise. You will have the opportunity to do the same with the other Octo-agents and the rest of our crew while we travel around the world exploring, rescuing and protecting along the way.”

The twins started applauding as soon as their uncle finished his speech, while the others speak excitedly amongst themselves. This training program is starting to sound more and more interesting. No wonder this was a valuable excuse for missing school, one that the principle accepted. The fact that they would be studying with the Octo-agents also meant that Peri would be able to spend some time with his mother during this program after all.

Maybe this won’t be as bad as he thought it would be.

Why so sad?

Koshi’s pov

Koshi had heared Stella sobbing. The reason she didn’t do anything about it, is because she didn’t know what she should do about it. She often finds her sister silently sobbing, but in that case, she knows exactly why. Her close attention to detail has helped her be able to identify whether Dashi’s crying because of their mother, because she got a bad grade, because her boyfriends broke up with her, because she was being bullied or because their father has yelled at her yet again for wanting to become a photographer instead of getting a “real” job. Koshi always knows what to say in any of those cases, but right now, she has no idea how to comfort the pup. So she decides to pretend that she’s still sleeping.

It’s been about five minutes, and Stella is still sobbing. The longer she does so, the more guilty Koshi feels for not doing anything about it. Stella’s quiet, soft, gentle sobs cut through Koshi, almost making her wince in pain. After another two minutes pass, Koshi finally decides to do something about it. Just as she slowly rises from her bed, the door swiftly slides open. The silhouette of a penguin lets Koshi know that it’s Peso. As if a telepathic message had been sent to the both of them, they slowly walk to the pup’s bed together. They both sit on either side of Stella’s bed as the startled pup started making rash movements. Koshi turns on Stella’s bedside lamp on the dimmest setting before facing her. Stella had just hidden something behind her pillow when Koshi had looked in her direction.

“Sorry for waking you up”, Stella mumbles.

“Don’t worry about it. You didn’t wake me up at all. I was already awake”, Koshi reassures.

“Really? What are you doing awake at this hour?”, Stella asks.

From experience with trying to comfort her sister, Koshi could tell that Stella is trying to change the subject as quickly as possible.

“Not so fast. You first”, she therefore says.

“What are you talking about?”, Stella replies calmly.

“Why were you crying?”, Peso asks as gently as possible.

“Why were you crying?”, Stella redirects the question.

“Wh-What?”, Peso responds anxiously while trying his best to appear confused.

Now that Stella has mentioned it, Peso’s eyes do indeed look a little puffy, as if he had been crying not too long ago. Unlike Stella though, Peso is an adult with the right to keep things to himself, so Koshi lets him off the hook and continues interrogating Stella.

“Stop changing the subject and answer our questions”, she firmly says.

Stella looks her deep into her eyes. They stare at each other in silence for a while, waiting for one of them to break the silence.

“Are you feeling homesick?”, Peso asks.

After staring into Koshi’s hazel brown eyes a little longer, she turns to face the penguin.

“No”, she says in a way that left no place for discussion.

“Then what is making you cry?”, Peso asks calmly, with a hint of concern.

While Peso tries and fails to get answers, Koshi uses the opportunity to find out what Stella hid underneath her pillow. She cautiously approaches the pillow and slowly puts her paw through the gap between the pillow and the head of the bed. Shortly after, she finally finds what she’s looking for and carefully pulls it out. Her curiosity and desperation to find out what it is causes her to start getting careless. She watches from the corner of her eye how Stella’s ears twitch, before the pup quickly grabs Koshi’s arm.

“Leave it be. The two of you should go get some rest, I’ve kept you awake for long enough”, Stella says in a calm but threatening tone, tightening her grip as Koshi tries to pull out her paw.

“I’m not leaving until you tell me what’s wrong”, Peso says sternly.

“Well I won’t tell you anything unless you tell me what’s wrong”, Stella replies.

The two stare each other down as Koshi continues her attempt to get her paw freed.

“Stella, I have already let go of whatever it is that you’re hiding”, Koshi explains, while trying to figure out the texture of the object she’s holding.

Stella’s eyes shoot in her direction, bringing judgment along with them. Her grip slowly loosens itself, just enough for Koshi to remove her paw, but not enough for the object she’s holding to come out with her paw. Koshi slowly removes her paw, before yanking it out into the open, along with the object. Stella barely manages to muffle her surprised yell as what she had tried to hide has now been brought out into the open. Koshi stands up and takes a few steps back, in order to prevent any attempts of Stella trying to get the object back. She uses the light of her Octo-watch screen to examine the object. It was a stuffed toy that looks like an artic fox. The fox was wearing a sky blue T-shirt, similar to the one Stella was wearing before, and a pale yellow jacket. He had some shorts and sneakers on. His bright smile showed confidence and comfort. The sewing on the teddy was terribly done, clearly handmade. Perhaps it was given to Stella as a gift. Perhaps the reason why she was holding it while crying is because she misses the person that made it for her. She said that she’s not homesick, so it could be a possibility that Koshi’s theory is correct.

“You miss the creature that made this for you, don’t you?”, Koshi asks in a low voice.

Stella just stares at her, still shocked by what had happened.

“The mission I went on reminded me of something that happened in the past. Your turn”, Peso quickly said. He sounded annoyed. In fact, it almost sounded like he was hissing. He seems to have realized that, because after taking a deep breath, he apologizes for his tone.

“I miss my father, that’s all”, Stella basically whispers.

“Did something happen to him?”, Koshi asks. She was under the impression that the fox lives with her uncle, so it could be that it’s because something happened to her father.

Stella winces unwillingly. She avoids all eye contact with the penguin and the dog.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure that he’ll be fine”, Peso says smoothly.

Stella chocks up on those words and stars silently sobbing again. It looked like she wanted to say something, but couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Koshi raises her head at the same time as Peso. The two of them look each other in the eyes, worry and concern clearly showcasing on both of their faces. It’s clear that Stella’s father is in bad condition. What if…, Koshi thinks to herself, What if his condition is so bad that he could… And Stella wouldn’t be close enough to be there…for his final days…

Koshi and Peso must have been thinking the same thing at the same pace, because they both lean in to hug Stella at the same time. Stella flinches at the sudden gesture of comfort by the two, but quickly calms down and welcomes it. Her sobs get slightly louder as she starts shivering, while tears from both Peso and Koshi slowly start making their way on her shoulders.
