Professor nat quick somehow managed to squeeze through the mob of people wanting to get a piece of shellington
And he grabbed onto shellington to get his attention

   "Oh hey professer-"
   "Come on! You have to meet my very good friend" as he began to drag shellington that he almost spilled his drink

   "Oh-okay what's their name?" Drinking his champagne

   "His name is captain barnacles-"

He immediately spat out his drink

   "W*cough* what? No I can't not now I got a lot of people to meet and they didn't request-"
   "Come on it'll be quick!" Shellington groaned, nat quick had no idea what they had done to him and he knew how stubborn he could get if he tried to get away he'd pressure him into meeting them

They made their way through the talking crowd of people and when he saw the octonauts it made him sick to the very core

Shellington thought angrily gritting his teeth as they made their way over to them

   "Barnacles! I'd like you to meet ocean watcher in person! Barnacles this is my very good friend shellington"

   Remember what tracker told me, act cold but nice at the same time when theirs others around and act like you don't know them

   "Ah. Captain barnacles is it? Professor nat quick told me some things about you and your team..." in a monotone like voice

Barnacles just stared at him for a split second and even hesitated to shake his hand

   "Y-yes." He said with a tad bit of nervousness

Everyone did the same thing when they shook shellingtons hand

Shellington wiped his hand on his shirt while drinking his champagne staring off somewhere else

   "Shellington why don't you tell them a bit about yourself?" Nat quick suggested

   "Right. Well where do I start, after my team abandoned me my good friend tracker gave me an offer that I couldn't reject you know the story but within four months I was ocean watcher, just had to set up my stations around different areas but lately my missions had to do more with healing animals and not crazy adventures like I hoped."

Taking a sip confidently

   "Tell me about you and your team barnacles." As shellington stared in his eyes dully and clearly not interested

   "Oh.. well we take a lot of breaks we haven't done that much missions lately so-"

Shellington spat out his drink again and this time it was all over captain barnacles and it was on purpose

They were still scared to even say a word to shellington

   "Apologies I'm gonna stop you there, I've been ocean watcher for five months trust me theres no time to fool around, no missions huh? Don't get me wrong I believe everyone needs a break now and then but I don't think. Well you can't just go around save a couple of creatures now and then-"

   A break? What a lie, if your a hero you have to save everyone and I mean EVERYONE and everything they gotta get that through their thick skulls

   "Actually that's be-" peso began to speak up when shellington shot his head at him glaring him down but nat quick was too busy chugging down alcohol, he gulped and hid behind barnacles a bit

   "Please don't interrupt me, anyways as I was saying you can't exactly save a few creatures now and then and expect everything in the ocean to be okay? It's not really enough no offense" in a fake kind manner

  "Ah shellington I see you've met the so called octonauts?" Tracker suddenly popped up

   "Yes it was simply Devine professer nat quick they seem... intriguing"

   "I'm so glad you like them" in his thick accent
   "Tracker! Come come I want you to meet my other friends"

Shellington didn't want to be left alone with them so he acted quickly

   "I'll join you as well-"
   "No no I can tell you have lots in common we'll be right back!"

   "Shellington." Barnacles said softly

He turned around clearly annoyed

   "drop the act, don't act like you don't know us"

Shellington smirked a bit rasing his hands in the air as if he was getting arrested rolling his eyes while drinking more of his alcohol

   "Shellington we didn't- we. I- I'm so-"

   "What? Is that bullshit I hear? Why yes it is. You obviously knew I was alive yet you left me there to die. Didn't even bother to look for my body. Try to apologize that means nothing.. I don't think a hollow apology can reverse e v e r y single thing that you've made me go through."

   "..I'm sorry i- I didn't k-"
   "Know? *chuckles* your supposed to be so smart what about all the times you had the answers? you've become weak"

Barnacles tried to reach his hand on shellingtons shoulder when he slapped it away

   "Sorry a machine like me can't forgive your mistakes.." in a monotone voice and walked away like a badass

He left them speechless, with complete regret and sorrows

The captain felt horrible, so much regret so much sorrow so much sympathy

It was his fault he knew it was his fault

Pride and judgment clouded his mind

Shellington did something to the captain that no one ever saw

He made him cry

Shellington then made his way to tracked and proffesser nat quick

   "May I join?" Shellington spoke up

   "Ah! Shellington just in time we were just talking about you!"

Everyone began to talk about him and tracker whispered to him

   "How'd it go with those octonauts?"
   "Let's just say.. I put them in their place" as he high fives tracker

   "Shellington correct?" A penguin asks

He nods as he shakes his hand, and talk into the night about missions, how they run their businesses and team efforts
