Eye of the Storm

Holiday Trip Gone Wrong

Hello everyone, my name is TMOF (TheMajorOctonautFan) and I am here to bring you a story about my Octonauts OCs, Zoe the Zebra and Bella the Beagle. If you do not like Octonauts, then you can walk away like nothing happened. This is my first story, so please let me know what you think!

---

Zoe the Zebra bustled around the room, her hooves making some noise as she went. She had been slaving off working with her father, as he was a famous doctor and he was quite a busy one, travelling around the world and helping numerous people. 

Zoe loved helping people, she had helped her father out since she was a child, and she never grew tired of it. It was like a hobby to her. 

"Papa! Can you help me with these suitcases?" Zoe called, as she tugged them onto her airplane. Zak nodded and he helped her load the airplane. Her best friend, Bella the Beagle, was waiting for her.

"Hi, Zoe. Are you ready to go?" Bella sweetly called. Zoe nodded and hastily boarded the plane. Both of them were about the same age, being seventeen. The beagle grinned and started up the plane.

Zoe waved to her father as the plane's propeller went faster and faster. "Bye, Papa! Don't forget to give my little brother Zebediah my love!" He waved back with a smile, as he went back inside the house.

The plane lifted into the air, and Zoe breathed out a sigh, looking above the clouds as they soared up high. "Goodbye, New York. I'll be back soon," she thought with a smile. The little zebra was so excited. She couldn't wait to get back to Africa to see her family. Though it did sadden her a little bit her father was unable to come. After all, he did have to look after her sick little brother.

Her family, to say in the least, was very big. She had a lot of cousins, maybe about 20, and she had 16 aunts and uncles. 

She nearly jumped in her skin as she heard a soft crackle of thunder. Bella frowned in concern. "We're heading through a thunderstorm. I hope we'll be okay. A lightning bolt might hit the engine." 

"Really?" Zoe was worried, but tried to keep level-headed. "How long till we get to Africa?" 

"I don't know, it will be a few days. We'll stop at South Africa on the way to rest." The rain splashed down at them, and Bella shook her head as water started to seep into her ears.

The wind started to howl, and Zoe grew more worried. "Can we find an island to land on?" The zebra asked timidly.

"What did you say?"

"I said, can we find an island to land on!"  Zoe yelled. By now, the wind was screaming with rage as it rocked the airplane. Bella nodded. "That sounds like a great plan!"

But before the young beagle could get anywhere, a massive lightning bolt tore in the sky in front of them, directly hitting the engine and causing it to overheat by mass levels. The plane started to fall, and both of them screamed as they closed their eyes, waiting for their watery death.
