In the Octopod...

Dashi was confused; she and Tweak had tried to call Xuli millions of times. And she never answered, not once. They were getting worried about Xuli, what if something's wrong? 

"Dashi? From Earth to Dashi? Can you hear me?"

Shellington's voice cut her away from her daydream. They had been trying to work out a way to quickly cure shell rash; Peso had asked them to make one for a crab from the Everglades with shell rash.

"Daaaashi?" Said Shellington, trying to grab her attention.

"Oh, sorry," said Dashi, "I was just thinking about a little something."

"Whatever it is, it could be nothing to worry about so much," said Shellington, patting her shoulder. Dashi relented.

"Hey, Shellington and Dashi." Said Captain Barnacles, appearing on the screen of the laboratory.

"Hey, Captain," they said.

"It's lunchtime. The Vegimals have cooked a feast today, so meet us at the Eating Room."

The screen turned off.

"C'mon!" Said Shellington, "Last to the Eating Room is a rotten fish egg."

Dashi laughed and ran after him.

A few minutes later...

The Octonauts were all eating lunch around a table. 

"Has anyone realize that Dashi and Tweak have been acting weird lately?" Asked Inkling, "They have been daydreaming alot about something."

"Yes," said Kwazii and Shellington.

"Tweak was distracted daydreaming while fixing the Gup-B." Said Kwazii.

"And Dashi was distracted daydreaming while we were making a remedy for shell rash." Said Shellington.

"Tweak, Dashi, what is distracting you so much?" Said Captain Barnacles.

"Umm..." Said Tweak. Dashi said nothing.

The Captain eyed them suspiciously. But by some good fortune, his phone rang.

"Sorry," he said. He seemed to have forgotten about the girls when he picked it up.

"Hello, Captain Barnacles speaking," he said. A few seconds later, he wore a terrified expression.

"WHAT?!" He yelled. Everyone looked confused.

"Captain?" Asked Peso, "What's going on?"

"Oh my God! Is she okay?!" Yelled the Captain.

"Capt'n?" Said Kwazii.

"Oh...okay, thanks for letting me know." He quivered. He hung up.

"We're going to the Academy. Tomorrow."  He said.

"Why?" Asked Tweak.

"Who called?" Asked Inkling.

"It was Ubercorn," the Captain replied.

"What did he say?" Asked Shellington.

"He said Xuli's been admitted to hospital from a terrible flaw in a space plan for replacing a satellite. Glitch attacked and made her run out of Oxygen. Now she's in hospital with an eight-year-old nurse helping her with Oxygen."

"Oh no!" Cried Tweak and Dashi, " Will she be okay?"

"That's why we're heading to the Academy tomorrow," said Captain Barnacles.

"And that's why we've been worried so much." Said Tweak, "We noticed that she hadn't called for days, we're worried something's wrong. And something is wrong."

"I hope she'll be okay," said Dashi.

*********

At night-time, Tweak and Dashi weren't asleep. Instead, they sat on their beds, skyping each other and their friend Candy, who looked shocked when they told her about what happened to Xuli.

"Really?!" Said Candy, surprised.

"Yes," said Dashi, "Ubercorn said so himself, she's really in Hospital."

"We're going to the Academy to see her tomorrow." Said Dashi.

"Can I come?" Asked Candy.

"Of course," said Tweak, "why do you ask?"

"Because I thought she can't take too many People, and because I'm bringing a friend along."

"Who is that friend?" Asked Dashi.

"All I can say that she's young but has a ton of questions..."
