[SCRRRT! We interrupt your regularly-scheduled story to bring you a couple of Odd Squad-related things the author wanted to share.]

[The author would apologize, but she's not all that sorry. :D]

Hey guys! Alright, first order of business—well, first thing I thought I'd show you guys—is that there are some official Odd Squad valentines for this year! Not that this is particularly exciting news, but they are pretty cute, so I thought I'd share some of my favorites.

I don't know what's with Oona and toast, but #TOASTISPOWER! #thisshouldbeahashtag #hmm #maybeonOddbook...

Olympia, I mean this in the best possible way, but I think everything you like makes you smile like that. XD

Don't worry, Otis. They did. XD

Oona AND the Oonabots? (Or, Oona-bots, rather? #nah #oonabotswithoutahyphen2k17) Hm, this might call for another appearance of Ona and friends somewhere in future chapters...

Okay, the first one's actually kind of sweet... BUT NOT AS SWEET AS A PENALTY BOX FULL OF CHOCOLATES! Guys, do you know how much chocolate would fit in a penalty box? (That's a closed-off area alongside a hockey rink where players have to stand while they get their penalties assessed, if you were wondering.) I have no idea, but it sounds like there'd be enough for the whole fandom to share! ;D Thanks, Coach O! Hopefully he doesn't have an evil plan to make us do 500,000 jumping-jacks to burn off all that chocolate...

Happy Take Your Dog to Work Day, guys! ...Right? No? Um... sorry, boss. And sorry, Olhm. You should probably accept that the Puppymaster incident is really over now. 😝

Yeah, I think Otis' are probably my favorites. XD

And okay, I feel a little bit silly for counting to see if Olympia's message was ten words long, but... it's ten words long. *LE SHRUG* JUST A COINCIDENCE PROBABLY ;)

Second order of business: OddTube! Divided into two topical bulletpoints.

•DR. O'S REAL NAME! In the most recent questions-and-answers video Olympia did, she was asked what Dr. O's full name was. Her answer? "Onomatopoeia. It's spelled exactly like it sounds." First of all, it's a joke, and a great one at that. ('Onomatopoeia' [aw-nuh-maw-ta-pea-uh] literally means a word that is spelled exactly like a sound—like 'fizz', 'cuckoo', 'bang', 'buzz', etc.) But secondly, Dr. O's agent number is 60, and Onomatopoeia adds up to well over a hundred. Is Onomatopoeia not actually Dr. O's name? Or did she get assigned the number 60 for some reason other than name value? WE MAY NEVER KNOW.

•According to Olympia when she was asked about whether or not we'll get to see her friend Amanda on OddTube, we will! ("Mayyyybe! Or mayyyybe not...! No. Yeah. You will.") *celebration noises* That was pretty cool; I kind of figured Amanda would just be the 'addressed-and-quoted-but-never-seen' character. We don't have a clue what she looks like, so that'll be a fun surprise!

ON ANOTHER NOTE... I made a thing!

I mentioned on tumblr that I wasn't sure if this called for an 'I'm sorry' or a 'You're welcome', and I got very mixed results when people reblogged it. Namely, I got one 'THIS ONLY CALLS FOR A YOU'RE WELCOME. ONLY.', a few hashtags along the lines of '#YOU'D BETTER BE SORRY', and—my personal favorite—a '#guys i'm a good person #i didn't deserve this'. XD

So, judging from these preliminary responses, I'll give you guys a combination of both 'I'm sorry' AND 'you're welcome':

I'M WELCOME! >:D

(Hey, it was that, or YOU'RE SORRY... XD)
