Chapter One Wake Up!

Dot waddled over to Rebecca's igloo to visit her best friend. Like Dot, Rebecca was also an EPF agent who had foiled many of Herbert's plans. Dot knocked on the door, half expecting to see Rebecca open the door with her usual smile. Surprisingly, it wasn't Rebecca who answered the door but her dark purple puffle, Bubbles who did.

"Hey Rebecca" Dot called out, half teasing, "I think you better change the lock on your door."

Instead of hearing a cheerful greeting from Rebecca, Dot heard a slight groan coming from the kitchen. Dot hurried over to smell pancakes but they were burning! She quickly turned off the stove and gasped at a surprising scene. Dot found Rebecca lying on the floor and she wasn't moving! She tried to get Rebecca to wake up and then Dot checked Rebecca's pulse . Dot decided to transport over to the EPF headquarters with Rebecca. Gary walked over to them and carried Rebecca to the EPF's medical room.

"Oh my," Gary said, as he checked to see if Rebecca had any injuries.

"What's wrong?" asked Dot, a little worried.

"I don't know," Gary responded, puzzled "did you spot anyone there at the igloo with Rebecca…anything unusual?"

"Not really…" Dot replied, "Her puffle opened the door for me though."

"Is there anything else?" Gary asked again.

"No," Dot responded.

"Interesting" Gary remarked, "I'll do some more research."

As Dot was about to leave, the two penguins were confronted by Rookie, who was dragging a rather unconscious Jet pack guy.

"What happened?" Dot asked.

"I don't know really" Rookie responded, gasping for breath, "Jet pack guy was teaching me some flying lessons when he suddenly started falling. I managed to grab my spy phone and transport us to HQ before we hit the ground."

"Was there anything unusual that happened?" Gary asked Rookie.

"Not really" Rookie said, "Other than that chocolate chip cookie that we all had last night at the party."

"Yeah it was kind of bad, "Dot agreed.

Gary looked over at Dot and said, "Hey! That was my first time baking cookies! Any way, you should go to the lighthouse and check for any clues."

"Right," Dot responded, taking out her spy phone.

Gary brought Jet pack guy over to a bed and glanced up to see Rookie standing there.

"You should follow Dot," suggested Gary.

"Oh" Rookie said, "yeah… I guess I…"

Suddenly, Gary heard a thud and looked up to see Rookie lying on the floor.

"Rookie" Gary said, "This is no time to sleep, wake up! Rookie!"

Gary nudged Rookie again and realized that he was in the same state as Jet pack guy and Rebecca. Suddenly a yellow penguin walked up to him.

"What?" Gary asked.

"You have a one o' clock meeting, sir" the penguin responded,

"Oh! That's right" exclaimed Gary, "something strange is going on."

He contacted Dot to return to headquarters to look after the fallen EPF agents and then informed the director of the situation. Aunt Arctic suggested to Gary that he should miss out on the meeting but he refused.

"It's very important," Gary exclaimed.

He went to the Coffee shop and went over to group of penguins, who sitting by a table. As Gary was speaking, he suddenly toppled over in his seat. An orange penguin, who was an EPF agent, quickly went over to him.

"Eureka! I have figured it out!" Gary exclaimed, pointing to the coffee before falling to the floor.

Author's note:

Oh No! The EPF agents Rookie, Jetpack guy, Rebecca, and Gary have all fallen into a mysterious sleep!

What did Gary figure out? Who is that orange penguin who was at the coffee shop?
