A/N: I decide to write this story while writing 'A
Hurted Heart', cuz suddenly this idea comes to my
mind! I hope you'll like it! =D
In A Birthday Party
"what's the result, Kowalski?" ask Skipper.
"positive, Skipper. Tomorrow is her birthday." said
Kowalski, stares the screen in front of him.
They four are in Alice's office, trying to find some data
about Marlene in the computer.
"so that's why she's very happy... But, why she doesn't
tell us?" ask Skipper.
"sometimes people can be very happy when receiving
a surprise present from someone who they love!" said
Private, cheerfully.
It's been a secret between them, that Skipper has a
crush with Marlene. But they still don't sure about
Marlene's feeling to him.
"but... I'm not a romantic person! I don't know about
what kind of present that I must give to her!" said
Skipper.
Kowalski reads his clipboard. "we can make a surprise
party for her. It is, or -"
"yes! A party! A dance party!" said Private, spiritfully.
Skipper raises an eyebrow.
"that's a romantic thing! And you can ask her to dance,
and..." Private stops talking, realized about the other's
gaze to him. "yeah, still too young to talk about that."
said him, facedrops.
Skipper chucks. "but that's a good idea. Good job,
Private." said him, and they four do a high five.
"let's make the plan!"
-The next morning-
Marlene just wakes up when Private comes.
"good morning, Marlene!" said Private, tries to hold a
giggle.
Marlene stares him oddly.
"well..." said Private, and he slaps himself. Marlene
raises her eyebrow.
"want to walk around the zoo?" ask Private.
Marlene knows something is going on - especially
because today is her birthday. But she smiles.
"let's go." said her.
They both walk out from the cave, and Skipper,
Kowalski, and Rico jump out from the sewwer hole.
"our time is only 30 minutes! We have to fast!" order
Skipper. He pushes away table, chairs, and the rugs.
Kowalski quickly measure the room. Rico coughs red
canvases and a big stereo.
-25 minutes later...-
"Hi, Marlene!"
Marlene turns around and find Skipper. "Hello, Skipper!"
said her.
Skipper winks to Private, and with that Private slides
back to otter habitat.
"am I need to carry you to your habitat?" ask Skipper,
smiles.
Marlene chucks. "let's go."
When they arrive and walk into her cave, suddenly jive
music is turned on.
"ladies and gentlemen... Welcome to Marlene's
birthday party!" said Maurice, on the stage.
Marlene stares around her. In the cave, there are the
lemurs, the penguins, Darla, and Doris. The cave is
decorated with red and green canvases, with red
flashlights.
"oh my God, that's so cool! Thanks, Skipper!" said her,
and she hugs him. "where do you know about my
birthday?"
Skipper blushes, but he hugs back. "someone was very
happy yesterday" said him.
"alright. Once again, thanks, Skipper. It means so much
for me." said her.
Skipper smiles. "your welcome, Marlene."
Kowalski enter the dance floor with Doris. Maurice do
the same with Darla. Rico, of course, with his doll.
Private sings a Spain song on the stage. Julien - with a
facepalm - dances with the only one who wants to be
his partner, Mort.
"would you enter the dance floor with me, my
princess?" ask Skipper, knelts in front of her.
Marlene blushes. "of course, my prince." said her. She
holds his flipper and they enter the dance floor.
Suddenly the jive music stops. Everyone walk away
from the dance floor - Rico must throw Julien away
first. Now there are only they two on the dance floor.
"is there something wrong?" ask Marlene, worried.
Skipper chucks. "no. Nothing wrong" said him.
The stereo makes a rock-dance music. Private starts
singing a song.
Long ago
Just like a hearse you died to get in again
We are so far from you
Skipper puts his left flipper at Marlene's hips. His right
flipper holds her left paw and lifts it straight to the
side. She puts her right paw around his neck.
Burning on
Just like a match you start to incinerate
Skipper steps to the right quickly, and Marlene follows
him. They are stepping, making a round shape.
The lives of the people you knew
And what's the worst to take
From every heart you break
Just like a blade you stake
Skipper releases his hold on Marlene's hips and she
slides away with still holding his right flipper.
And I've been holding on
Tonight
She pull herself back to Skipper. Skipper catches her
bridal style.
What's the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Skipper stares her deep into her eyes. She stares back.
They both smiles and continue their dance. Marlene
stands up and puts her paw on Skipper's neck again,
and Skipper puts back his flipper on Marlene's hips.
They're spinning around the dance floor, with a smile
to each other.
