It was just another ordinary morning, as Kwazii was just reading one of his comics in his room. But then his Octo-watch activates.

“Hey Kwazii. Are you there?” The voice was actually Tweak. “What do you want matey?” Kwazii said being annoyed. “I just finished working on the Gup-B. It should be working now.” Tweak said.

“Alright! I’ll meet you at the Launchpad as soon as possible.” Kwazii said as he’s smiling. And so he runs out of his room and heads to the Launchpad without the others noticing him due to how fast he is running.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
He finally made it to the launchpad where Tweak was waiting for him.

“Hey you finally made it Kwazii.” Tweak said as the pirate cat walks to her.

“Woah. Nice job fixing it. I can at that you did a excellent job on it Tweak.” Kwazii said as they both look at the Gup-B.

“Oh, it was nothing. Thanks to my tools and stuffs.” Tweak said while blushing. “Maybe I should take this bad boy for a spin.” Kwazii said to her.

“Oh sorry, but I don’t know if I can trust you with going on another joyride on the Gup-B. Since last time you did, it caused it to crash into the kelp forest.” Tweak said to Kwazii. “Oh come on. Seriously?” Kwazii said angrily.

“Look I’ll come get you once I make some of those fish cakes you like with the vegimals. Oh and remember, no joyriding!” Tweak said to Kwazii as she heads to the kitchen.

“Fine. I promise.” Kwazii said being annoyed. But once she’s gone, this gives Kwazii the chance to hop on board the Gup-B and drive it.

And so once he gets the engine ready it was time to take another joyride on it and so he leaves the ship and goes into the ocean with it.

But it seems like that he has forgotten to bring his air tank and helmet with him. But it would be ok right?
————————————————————————————————————————————————
He was driving around the Gup-B for a while as it was so much fun to be in it again. And while he is dodging other fishes and obstacles, he makes it to th kelp forest when suddenly something hits the Gup and causes it to malfunction.

“Uh oh. This is not good.” Kwazii said as he hears the Gup-B’s alarm. And so he ducks for cover as the Gup-B crashes into a rock, which leaves him stranded in the kelp forest.

“{groan} Oh no. Tweak’s gonna be furious when she finds out about this.” Kwazzi said nervously.

But while panicking he realises that there’s something worse then Tweak getting mad at him and ending their friendship. And it was the fact that the Gup-B is now being flooded with water.

And even though it would be fine if he had his helmet on, he realises that he had forgotten about his helmet and air tank. And so after that realisation he panics again.

But luckily he was able to pull out his Octo-Watch and calls Tweak even though he hesitated at first because of how mad she will be.

“Hey Kwazii. I’m almost done with the cooking. How are you doing.” Tweak asked on the watch.

“Oh nothing but let me make this story short. I taken the Gup-B for another joyride which left me stranded in the kelp forest and now there’s water filling it with me inside, so please come and save me! I’m too young to die! Also it turns out that i have forgotten about my helmet and air tank so please help!” Kwazii replied.

And after he does he was greeted by silence and he waits nervously for an answer as the water was creeping over his chest until finally he hears Tweak.

“I’m on my way. Just stay here while I get the captain and Peso. We’ll be here at exactly 5 minutes.” Tweak said before suddenly the Octo-Watch loses signal.

5 minutes? He will bloody drown in 5 minutes! He doesn’t have the ability to hold his breathe for 5 minutes! His mind was still panicking over what Tweak just said as the water was creeping down his neck now.

And so with no other choice he sees the Eject Button and presses it but not before he holds his breathe. And once he does the eject button work as it sends him out of the Gup-B and into the ocean. And so he takes one look at the damaged Gup and is worried what Tweak might do to him if she ever finds out it got damaged again.

“Hopefully it couldn’t be worse.” Kwazii thinks until suddenly a kelp grabs his tail and tugs on him. And when the Pirate Cat notices, he tried to pull the kelp out of his tail but for some reason it was a bit strong.

Guess like he’ll just have to wait until Tweak and the others arrive to save him before he drowns. And so he waits, and waits, and waits and waits.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Until suddenly he is spotted by what appears to be an Eel.

“Hey, you there. Yeah I’m talking to you giant cat. You look mighty delicious!” The Eel said, which causes the pirate cat to be weirded out by what she was saying.

And even though he tries to talk to her, the problem is he can’t. As without his Helmet and Air Tank, he couldn’t communicate with the Eel. And if he did try all it came from his mouth was bubbles which causes him to lose more air.

“And look, before I eat you, I want to tell you something personal. You see, I tried eating the orange shark that came by while I was swimming here but it was too dense and metal like for my taste so I electrocuted it.” The Eel said.

And hearing this causes Kwazii to realise that she was the one who caused the Gup-B to malfunction and crash into the Kelp Forest. And seeing that she’s going to eat him too makes him really angry.

So he fights back by trying to scratch her with his claws.

“Hey put those claws down! Hey! Hey stop that!” Said the Eel as she avoids being scratched by the pirate cat.

Until after he does this like 15 times, her body starts to electrify.

“Oh thats it buddy! You asked for it. Prepare to get killed by both drowning and getting electrocuted. Before I finally eat you.” The Eel said as she swims towards Kwazii in anger.

And seeing the Eel swim up to him while being electrified causes him to realise that he’s screwed. So she collides with the pirate cat and electrocutes him in the heart.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!” Kwazzi screamed while getting beeping electrocuted.

He’s done for, he’s dead and doomed. All because he wanted to do some joyride. And not only was he being electrocuted to death, but he was also drowning too death.

He doesn’t know which one is worse to be honest. Dying from electrocution or from drowning? It was so hard to choose.

And this shocking from the Eel causes Kwazii to lose the remaining air he had and starts inhaling water. But it doesn’t matter anymore as he didn’t even tried to free his tail. All he could do was wait until he is truly dead from his stupid and impulsive choice.

And so he thinks about his life and the adventures he had with the Octonauts, especially Tweak, who he’d shared a special friendship with but he’s pretty sure that she might break their friendship if she found out about what happend to him and the Gup-B

But it doesn’t matter anyways. All that matters now was that he’s dead.

“I’m sorry Captain. I’m sorry everyone. And I’m really sorry Tweak for messing everything up.” Those were his last thoughts before the pirate cat eventually blacks out.

And his heart stops from being electrocuted.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
5 MINUTES EARLIER-

Tweak was still busy making some foods with the Vegimals and it defiantly did put her in a good mood today. In fact this might be the day that she can finally tell Kwazii how she feels about him.

But then she hears the Octo-Watch ringing and so grabs it and sees that its coming from Kwazii.

Hey Kwazzi. I’m almost done with the cooking. How are you doing?” She asked.

“Oh, nothing but let me make this story short. I taken the Gup-B for another joyride which left me stranded in the kelp forest and now there’s water filling filling it with me inside, so please come and save me! I don’t want to die! Also it turns out that I have forgotten about my helmet and air tank so please help!” Kwazii replied.

And realising this, her mind suddenly panicked as even though she was about to be really angry at him for taking another joyride with it, she doesn’t want her friend/crush to drown in the ocean alone.

“I’m on my way. Just stay right there while I get the captain and Peso. Well be right here exactly 5 minutes.” Tweak said as she hangs up the phone.

And so she runs around the headquarters as she was able to find Barnacles and Peso in the medbay.

“Captain, its an emergency. Kwazii’s in the kelp forest and is about to drown.” Tweak said to Captain Barnacles.

“Well then, I’m not just going to stand around here and leave a teammate drowning in the ocean. Come on Peso and Tweak lets go to the Gup-A.” The Captain said.

And so they all head into the Gup-A and goes inside it as they were able to use it to go through the ocean and hopefully find Kwazii before its too late.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
NOW-

It had been about 5 minutes since they left the ship but they still need to focus on finding Kwazii, while Tweak was starting to become really worried about him.

“Is there, something wrong Tweak? Your cheeks are starting to become rosy pink.” Peso said to the green rabbit.

“Oh its nothing. It’s not like I have a crush on Kwazii or anything.” Tweak said, accidentally revealing the thing to both Peso and Barnacles.

“Tweak, are you saying that you have a crush on one of our member?” Barnacles asked Tweak.

“Yes.” Tweak said in a monotone voice.

“Look, I understand. It’s not so easy keeping this a secret. But I think its sweet since, you and Kwazii have a amazing bond.” Barnacles said to Tweak.

But then they hear a scream coming from outside. And when they look whats going on through the window, they see something disturbing and scary.

It was Kwazii! Getting electrocuted by an Electric Eel, Drowning because of it and worse of all his tail was caught underneath some kelp so he couldn’t dodge it.

“No!” Tweak scream as she sees the pirate cat blacking out because of it.

But she isn’t going to let someone die on her watch, and so she grabs an air tank, puts on her helmet and has Peso open up the Gup-A’s Hatch.

“Don’t worry guys. I’ll be back with Kwazii, I promise.” Tweak said. And so Peso and Barnacles salutes her as the green rabbit dives into the ocean and swims towards Kwazii’s {hopefully} Unconscious body.

But it was going to be hard because of his tail was caught by a kelp but she did everything in her powers to pull it out. But while she’s doing it, suddenly she sees the same Eel who electrocuted him and it looks really ticked off at her.

“Hey! That’s my dinner idiot! What are you doing with it?” The Eel angrily said to Tweak.

“Look I don’t mean no harm but I need to get my friend out of here. Besides eating creatures who aren’t fishes is wrong.” Tweak said.

“Oh yeah, how about I Zap you too? Would that make it feel better.” The Eel said as she becomes electrified again. “Uh, no but-“ Tweak said before she is given a jolt by the sea creature.

“Ow! That hurts.” Tweak said after getting jolted. And so she just kicks the Eel in the face which causes it to become more angrier.

“Oh, ok! Now you f*cked up!” Said the Eel as {like with Kwazii} it electrocutes Tweak too which hurts like hell.

And not only did it caused her Air Tank to come off her, but her Helmet to get shattered with the green rabbit not having enough time to hold her breathe. And seeing what’s going to happen to Tweak, The Eel just swims away.

“I hope you share the same fate as that giant cat, you green looking freak. I’m gonna go now and eat those clown fishes, even though they do taste funny.” The Eel said before it swims towards the clownfishes and chasing them.

And this gives Tweak a time limit, to both get her crush’s tail out of the kelp and get them both back onto the Gup-A before she drowns too. And so she tugs the kelp really fast.

Until finally the kelp snaps in half and Kwazii was freed from it which makes Tweak happy. But their not out of the woods yet as she needs to swim with him back to where Barnacle and Peso are waiting for them. And so she swims to it with double the speed as she couldn’t hold her breathe no more.

And so she coughs up the remaining air she had and starts to inhale water. But luckily, Barnacles was able to bring the 2 to the Gup-A before Tweak blacked out. And once they get inside, The Green Rabbit starts to cough up a bunch of water and is relieved to see that the captain had helped them.

“Like I said Tweak, I never let a member of the Octonauts drown on my watch.” Captain Barnacles said. “Thanks captain.” Tweak said.

And so after they get onto the floor, the trio laid Kwazii on his back. But when Peso tried to find his pulse, he couldn’t find any.

And they both realised that his heart stopped due to being electrocuted by the Eel and is now dead.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Tweak wa panicking now. Her crush is now dead. She couldn’t breathe, she couldn’t think either.

Her ears were ringing, it was like having a panic attack.

She saw Captain Barnacle approaching her, but all she could hear him say was something about Peso using the defibrillator to start up Kwazii’s heart again.

But it might not work to her, it could already be too late

And even though all she could hear was that ringing noise in her ears, she could faintly hear Peso using the defibrillator 3 times before going back to doing CPR.

She could also see the tears in the penguin’s eyes, as he’s trying his best to save his best friend. But it was still too late
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Or maybe not.

As after Peso used the defibrillator once more, Suddenly Kwazii starts gasping for air and is now coughing up a bunch of water he had in his lungs.

He’s alive. He’s breathing again. His heart was beating again. She couldn’t be more happier.

And so after the ringing stops as she could hear both the captain and Peso being glad that he is ok, the pirate cat then settles on gasping for air which makes them more relieved then ever. But for some reason he wasn’t waking up/

But it was fair since he was exhausted after that near death experience and scaring everyone with it.

But while Peso was checking on her friend and Barnacles went out to retrieve the Gup-B, Suddenly Tweak passed out, as being electrocuted 2 times can take a lot on people.

And the last thing she remembers before her vision goes completely dark was Peso seeing the whole thing and calling the Captain to come back to the Gup-A immediately.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
It was about 2 hours later when Kwazii woke up from his near death experience, but something was not right here.

He was in the Medbay with Tweak right next to him on a chair.

And then she talks to him.

“How are you doing Kwazii? You scared us back there.” Tweak asked

“I’m alright. Even though my chest feels like its burning.” Kwazii replies much to Tweak’s relieved.

And so the green rabbit told him everything that happened 2 hours ago, about how she passed out from exhaustion, Peso and Barnacles having to take them back to the ship and tell everyone what happened, her waking up as the penguin was setting up the medbay and getting news from the captain about the rest of the team heading out to retrieve the Gup-B.

“Wow. Never knew a lot of stuff happened while I was knocked out.” Kwazii said.

And then Tweak looks at him and smile.

“Look there’s something I want to tell you. And don’t panic, I’m not mad that you crashed the Gup-B again. I already know that it was the Electric Eel who did that.” Tweak said.

“Ok? What do you want to tell me?” Kwazii asked.

“I liked you. Like a lot.” Tweak said while blushing really hard.

Hearing what she said caused him to blush. He didn’t know that she had a crush on him ever since they first met. But it did made him happy to see that she does actually care for him.

“You know what matey? I’m actually glad to hear it. Since you’ve been really nice to me. And I also want to say thank you for saving my whiskers back there. Because if you haven’t, well I might’ve been sleeping with the fishes, {laughs} But seriously, I would've been dead forever.” Kwazii said.

“Oh come here Puss In Boots.” Tweak said as she leans towards Kwazii and kisses him.

And having this kiss for a first time was surprising for a pirate like Kwazii. But he is fine with it and so hugs her.

Until eventually the kissing stops and they both look into each other’s eyes.

“Wow. That was the most beautiful thing that I have experienced in my life.” Said Kwazii.

“Yeah me too.” Said Tweak.

And so the 2 of them hug each other meaning that they have officially became a couple.

“Your still going to help me fix the Gup-B.” Tweak said.

“Ok.” Kwazii said but not before they continue hugging.

And this would be seen by Peso who has come here to give Kwazii some medicine. And he could tell that a relationship has blossomed as he and the captain are so proud of them for loving each other.

And they are glad that since Kwazii is still alive, he had learned his lesson of using the Gup-B as a joyride.

And he never does that ever again.
