The octonauts were relaxing in the octopod when a flash of turquoise flew by the window. Everyone was confused until they saw the blood in the water and then a flash of magenta. Both Dashi and Tweak froze instantly.
Dashi let out a shaky breath as she spoke, "T-Tweak, is that who I think it is?"
Tweak nodded slowly. "I-I think it is…."
Barnacles was confused. "Who-"
Tweak cut him off by sounding the octoalert. Everyone went down to the launch bay. Barnacles quickly exclaimed, "what is happening?"
Dashi sighed and spoke, "so the "thing" that was outside the window is someone we know, and she is in danger, so we like have to move fast!"
Tweak nodded, and the octonauts split up into teams. Barnacles, Peso, Tweak, and Dashi, went in the gup X while Kwazii, Shellington, and Professor Inkling went in the gup E and A. As they went, Tweak and Dashi tried calling someone. When the phone rang but declined, both sighed. Barnacles looked to them concerned," what happened?"
Tweak "just keep driving 'cap…."
They eventually came upon a girl in a turquoise shirt and jeans with boots. All of which were covered in blood. Rushing to bring her in, they propped her up and ran to heal her. Coughing, the girl stirred before opening her eyes "wha-" cutting herself off with a gasp, she spoke again, "no, not here."
Tweak pushed her shoulders back "it's ok, Coco."
The girl named Coco then shook her head "you don't know unde-"
A girl cut her off with hot pink who pulled her to her feet "well, well well~."
Coco spoke, her voice hoarse, "leave them alone!"
Ivy fake frowned "but it's so much fun."
Coco growled while everyone was chained to a wall.
Coco growled before Ivy forced her into a flashback showing her family being infected with cancer and dying. Dashi and tweak broke free and punched Ivy. She left laughing, and Dashi sighed. Both Tweak and Dashi hugged Coco tightly.
Dashi spoke first, "you dumbass irresponsible bitch!"
Tweak "do you know how worried we were?!"
Coco smiled "gee, love you both as well, cousins."
Peso and Barnacles was confused "cousins?!"
Dashi spoke first, "Right, we didn't tell you why we needed to come after her."
Coco finally, registering that there were other people there, turned defensive. "Who are they?"
Tweak spoke, trying to calm her. "Relax, that's the Captain and the medic of the octonauts."
Coco nodded, though her cousins could tell she wasn't convinced they weren't a threat, "sure."
Peso and Barnacles smiled and waved, Coco nodded back. Dashi and Tweak slid down beside Coco. Dashi started speaking again, "so where have you been staying?"
Coco shrugged. "Bit with my brothers, Bit in Kentucky, some at the chief's house."
Peso, growing curious, asked Coco, "Chief?"
Coco got defensive again and eyed Peso carefully. After deciding he looked harmless enough, she spoke, "I am a detective at New York SVU PD."
Dashi hugged Coco. "I missed you."
Coco hugged back. "Yeah yeah, don't get all mushy on me now."
Tweak spoke smiling "you should stay with us for a bit."
Coco looked weary. "I-I don't know."
Dashi smiled. "Yeah, come on, and it'll be fun!"
Coco sighed "fine, but only for a few days."
Peso cut in, "I am sorry for interrupting, but with your wounds, you will need to stay for at least two months so I can monitor the injuries."
Coco frowned. Not wanting to tell him about her magic but also not wanting to stay, "Ah, I think I will be fine besides if I remain, you guys would be in danger-"
Barnacles waved his hand. "Nonsense, you are injured and need help. We are here to help."
Coco almost debated when Barnacles started the engine and drove towards the octopod. "Ha, you are stuck with us now!" Tweak laughed.
Coco groaned yet leaned back. "I hate both of you, but fine."
Dashi grinned and spoke loudly, "Yes!"
Coco and Tweak both covered their ears and spoke simultaneously "owwww…"
Coco shook her head and rubbed her ear. "Jeez, you are loud."
Tweak chuckled. "That's alright didn't need hearing anyway."
Dashi giggled and gently pushed them. "Oh shush"
As they drove, Peso and Barnacles smiled as the cousins caught up, Coco still wary about how much information she gave out.
As they arrived, Coco stuck close to Tweak and Dashi eyeing everyone cautiously. As they entered, everyone else was already back. Professor Inkling, noticing Coco and nodding at her, asked, "I take it you found her?"
Tweak nodded and slung an arm around a palish Coco "yep. This is Coco. She's our cousin."
Coco nodded and looked at everyone wearily. Dashi smiled and gently pulled Coco away from tweaks death grip. "She got into a scuffle with Iv- someone, but all is well now."
Peso shrugged. "Sort of, we still need to treat those wounds."
Coco deadpanned "No."
Tweak sighed "dude, this isn't worth fighting, just wrap the wounds and then sleep."
Kwazii sighed. "Aye, why don't you want to be helped with injuries."
Coco rolled her eyes and spoke sarcastically, "and trust random people, who I just met, with my life. Hard no."
Shellington tried to reason with her, "If you bleed out, that would be worse than trusting people, right?"
Tweak spoke, "If you do this one thing, we will let you sleep the rest of the night."
Coco folded "fine."
Everyone went about their night as Coco got situated in Tweak's room. Dashi decided to sleep with them tonight and was grabbing some spare blankets when Barnacles came down. Coco was laughing and stuff with her cousins but stopped as soon as she saw someone else.
He nodded towards them. "I was checking on all of you, how everyone was settling in."
Coco spoke, crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes "why are you so concerned?"
Tweak rested a hand on Coco's shoulder. "Coco, relax. He is just trying to help."
Dashi smiled softly "besides. You are safe now with us."
Coco sighed and kept her eyes narrowed at him. "fine but don't expect me to warm up or anything."
Barnacles smiled. "I wouldn't dream of it."
Coco mock sneered at him, "hmph."
Dashi and Tweak rolled their eyes as Barnacles spoke, "well, goodnight, ladies."
Tweak nodded and spoke, "Night cap' tell Kwazii that tomorrow we can have that Mario match."
Dashi spoke as well, "Goodnight, captain, tell Shellington that we can look over photos another time."
Barnacles nodded. "Will do goodnight."
After he left, Coco spoke teasingly, falling back into her role as cousin quickly. "So, are these the boyfriends I've heard about~?"
Das hi and Tweak both blushed while saying, "Shush/shut up," respectively.
Coco laughed and crawled into bed. "Goodnight."
Dashi and Tweak smiled and followed suit. "Night."
