AN) A request from AdrianImpalaMata to include a certain Octo-Cadet called Sachairi in this chapter: Shellington's brother, as a new member of the crew. Hope you enjoy, Adrian, plus anyone else who reads!

Online: DynamicDiscoveries, SweetAsSugar, MusicIsLife

MusicIsLife: wow, i'm impressed, Shel

MusicIsLife: you found a phone that you could actually use

MusicIsLife: are you going to 'accidentally' destroy it like the last one?

DynamicDiscoveries: I WAS ANNOYED AND SCOTTISH AT THE TIME, OKAY

DynamicDiscoveries: plus it was Dashi's fault, really

SweetAsSugar: I have to agree

SweetAsSugar: I take full responsibility for the destruction of Shel's phone :P

DynamicDiscoveries: I prefer this new one, anyway

SweetAsSugar: this is Tweak's special designed phone. You have to like it, unless you want her to hate you forever

MusicIsLife: well now that I'm an Octo-Cadet, I get one too! RESULT!

SweetAsSugar: I can't believe you've only been travelling with our crew for a couple of weeks, Sach

SweetAsSugar: you already feel part of the family

MusicIsLife: Partially helped by the fact I am part of Shel's family, and by extension yours :)

DynamicDiscoveries: You've already been out on one proper mission, Sach

DynamicDiscoveries: did you enjoy it?

MusicIsLife: It was great! Peso taught me a bit about bandaging when we reached the reef, which had been covered with a lot of old seaweed, and I helped Barnacles get rid of all the nasty stuff. Tweak took it and put it into her Octo-Recycler. Then I raced Kwazii home in the Gup D!

SweetAsSugar: you've had the full Octonauts crew initiation experience already, from the sound of it XD

MusicIsLife: and actually, for your information, brother of mine, I've been out on two missions. I'm a pro now.

DynamicDiscoveries: going out with the Vegimals to collect red kelp doesn't really count as a mission, y'know, Sach

MusicIsLife: ah well :P

SweetAsSugar: so Sachairi, is there anyone special in your life just yet?

MusicIsLife: does Rachel Riley count?

DynamicDiscoveries: just because you've seen her a million times on Countdown, Sach...

MusicIsLife: SHE'S STILL VERY SPECIAL TO ME

MusicIsLife: But seriously, I haven't found my special someone yet, if that's what you're asking, Dashi

MusicIsLife: I'm not as lucky as my big brother, having found his soulmate and all

SweetAsSugar: ;D

DynamicDiscoveries: you know, being a couple of minutes older than you still doesn't make me your big brother, Sach

MusicIsLife: eh, it works if I want something ;)

SweetAsSugar: your username is very apt, by the way

MusicIsLife: Well, music is practically my life

MusicIsLife: sometimes it's like my job is the hobby and music is what I seem to spend all day doing. Along with watching Countdown and NASCAR, of course ;)

MusicIsLife: though I don't really do as much music as I used to back in high school

MusicIsLife: I was in the choir, you know

SweetAsSugar: you have a beautiful voice, Sach, especially when you play your guitar, like at the party last year!

MusicIsLife: why thank you, Dashi

MusicIsLife: *whispers* (I like your girlfriend already, Shelly)

DynamicDiscoveries: saying *whispers* before a sentence does not mean that Dashi can't still hear you - or read you, or whatever

SweetAsSugar: it's okay, I don't mind :D

MusicIsLife: I was kind of considering starting up a band, but I never got round to it back home

MusicIsLife: Daemyn - my best friend - has never really been into music all that much, so...

SweetAsSugar: you could start one on the Octopod!

SweetAsSugar: there's enough musicians, after all: The Captain with his accordion, and Peso on his xylophone

SweetAsSugar: I've got a feeling that Tweak secretly plays the banjo as well, though she swears that she doesn't XD

MusicIsLife: haha that's true

MusicIsLife: maybe i'll ask them

(CallMeCaptain has logged on)

CallMeCaptain: Shellington, can you come down to the Launch Bay? We need you out here; there's a cave with all sorts of terrified animals that Peso and Tunip found ,and we need your expertise to figure out what's going on

DynamicDiscoveries: coming, Captain!

CallMeCaptain: hey Sachairi, why don't you come too? It'll be good experience as a field researcher, after all

MusicIsLife: Sure thing Captain!

CallMeCaptain: hurry down to the Launch Bay then, you too

(CallMeCaptain has logged off)

MusicIsLife: YES I GET TO GO ON ANOTHER MISSION! :D

DynamicDiscoveries: Your second proper mission, Sach

DynamicDiscoveries: and this time we're doing it together!

MusicIsLife: Sea Otters United! Yeah!

DynamicDiscoveries: let's go :)

SweetAsSugar: good luck out there, you two ;)
