Octonauts QnA+Dares

"Professor, the tablet's beeping again." Peso commented meekly as Inkling lunged for the device.

"Let us, er, leave it alone for now, shall we?" The elderly Professor gave a tight, curt smile and softly guided Peso away from the tablet as he glared at the offending device.

"Uncle Inkling, is this because you got stuck on the ladder and needed the Captain to get you down?" Squirt inquired mischievously from his spot as Professor Inkling scowled.

"Absolutely not, my dear boy! What on earth gave you that idea?"

"Um, Professor." Peso called meekly, tugging softly on Inkling's tentacle to get his attention.

"Yes, Peso?" He answered genially.

"It's actually for me." He fidgeted a little. Squirt gazed expectantly at his uncle who sighed.

"Alright then Peso, read it, and I'll call the crew over." Oh brother, the fans never did let him catch a break, did they? Within 5 minutes, the entire crew had packed themselves into the library, and were awaiting the next dare in their very inconvenient series of humiliation.

"Who wants what this time?" Tweak grumped.

"Tweaky, don't say that, they love you." Dashi tried to soothe her bestie as Tweak gently squeezed her paw.

"Dash, they made me kiss Kwazii. They don't love me."

"Yarr, ladies, how bout we get on with it." Kwazii yowled as Tweak shot him a dirty look for breaking up her moment with her bestie.

"Fine," she rolled her eyes at him, " then you read."

"Fine." He hmmphed and took the tablet from a tray balanced on a passing Vegimal's head.

"From @nouriyah8, I dare Peso to give everyone nicknames and use the for the rest of the day."

"Well that's... not bad." Shellington said cautiously as though the words on the paper would twist themselves into a less desirable dare at his words. Peso had been deemed the nicest person in the world by nearly everyone on the Octopod.

"Er, alright." Peso fidgeted slightly with his flippers. Every member of his crew had a name that sounded so lovely to him. Could he give them new ones? Oh, he had an idea.

"Captain." He waddled innocently up to his Octo-father, "May I please call you Captain Barney for the rest of the day?" The Captain looked taken aback while Kwazii burst out laughing.

"That's the spirit, matey!" He sang joyously as the Captain shot him a nasty look.

"Should've known..." He muttered to himself as Kwazii clapped him on the back, still doubled over in laughter.

"K-Kwazii's nickname could be pirate kitty." Peso interrupted gently, staring shyly at his feet.

"What?!" Kwazii shrieked as everyone else stifled their laughter, oh this was too perfect, "That's a very nice nickname, matey." Kwazii pasted a smile onto his face, "Any more?"

"Hmm," Peso looked thoughtful for a moment. Oh, he definitely had more; this was kind of fun, "Shellington can be called Mr. Science, and Dashi's new nickname can be..." Peso stopped and pondered for a moment before breaking out in a huge grin, "Photo princess!"

"Aww!" Dashi beamed, blushing slightly, "That's kinda cute!"

""I thought it was perfect for you." Peso blushed as Dashi hugged him softly. "Now for Inkling's!" Peso exclaimed as said professor leaned back against his chair and groaned softly. There was not one thing on this planet that could excite him for what was to occur.
