A/N: Okay, so this chapters gonna be pretty short (it's kind of an introduction), but I hope you guys can leave a review/alert/favorite! :D Enjoy!
Private waddled down the streets of New York, lonely and sad. He didn't want to be doing this, running away from his home and all his friends, but he knew it was for the best.
He had decided to run away a long time ago. He'd chosen today because he felt it would be the best time; Kowalski, Rico and Skipper had all been engrossed in a game of cards, and hadn't even seen Private slip out of the habitat.
The youngest penguin's teammates ment the world to him. That's why he was running away. It wasn't because he felt neglected, it was because he felt he didn't belong. Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico each had something that made the team what it was. But what did Private do? Sit in the corner and watch the telly. He was worthless. Kowalski was a science master, Skipper was the best leader in the world, not to mention one of the toughest fighters Private had ever known, and Rico could cough up anything useful in a matter of seconds, along with his love of dynamite which made him a great addition to the group. But Private... what could he do? Defeat his enemies with his talent at mini-golf? No... he really was the third wheel. He was positive that the only reason his friends kept him on their squad was out of pity.
Private loved his friends like brothers. That was why he was leaving. He knew that this was for the best, that running away would make his team happy. That was really what he wanted, wasn't it? He wanted the rest of his squad to be happy, and in his mind, that meant he needed to leave.
So that's why he was here, waddling aimlessly around New York, receiving strange looks from a few passersby. It wasn't common to see a penguin waddling down the streets midday, but most people were too engrossed in their cellphone conversations to notice him. The farther he got from the zoo, the deeper his hear sunk, but the more he felt he was doing the right thing.
As he wandered, Private began to feel hungry. He looked around and realized he knew where he was. There was a fishing port close by, and he knew that tons of fish were being unloaded from fishing boats there. He raced forward a bit and slid on his stomach until he reached the dock. There were boxes and boxes of fish! He jumped to the top of one of the mountains of boxes and proceeded to pull it open with a strong tug, gouging himself on the delicious food inside.
He continued eating for a moment before something nearby caught his eye. A glowing red circle in the pitch-black area in between a group of boxes. There was something about the light he didn't like. He turned around, planning on running away, but he was met with a long line of lobsters. Private froze as he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Pen-gu-in."
Private gulped and turned around, coming face-to-beak with Dr. Blowhole, who returned the penguins horrified gaze with a sly, toothy smile.
"It's been a long time, hasn't it?"
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed that. It's really, really short, and I don't know if it made much sense xD Anyways, since this chapter was so short, I'm going to try and make another chapter either later today or tomorrow. I hope you guys look forwards to that. Please leave a review, favorite, or alert! Thanks!
