Where's Skipper?
It was the middle of the night and Skipper was sneaking out of the HQ. He needed to get out of there and fast. Skipper looked at his men sleeping soundly in their bunks. He would miss all of them, but he would miss Private the most. Private was like a son to him, he wouldn't know how to tell him what was happening. Tears started to form in his eyes.
"No tears". Skipper thought to himself. "It's already hard as it is."
More tears started to run down his face. Skipper quickly ran out of the HQ. He hopped over the fence protecting their habitat. He glanced over at King Julien's habitat. It brought a smile to his face. He reminisced about their adventures. The zoo use to be so boring before Julien came. Julien annoyed Skipper sometimes but overall he did enjoy Julien being at the zoo. Skipper then glanced over to Marlene's habitat. His previous smile suddenly faded away. Skipper was at a loss of words. He loved Marlene, but could never admit it to anyone. Tears started to form again, he let them fall. Skipper didn't want to leave the zoo but he had no choice. Everyone he loved was in danger if he didn't. Skipper looked around then walked over to Marlene's habitat. Inside, he found her sleeping. Marlene didn't snore anymore ever since she thought it was what was causing her to be wake up in the middle of the night. Skipper leaned down and kissed her head. She stirred in her sleep a little which made Skipper back away. Deciding not to take any chances he quickly left the habitat, and the zoo.

Private woke up and rubbed his eyes.
"Strange, Skipper didn't wake us up like he usually does." Private said quietly to himself.
He hopped out of his bunk cheerful as usual. Private was always loving and carefree. He went outside to see if Skipper had set up some sort of training. There was no sign of him.
"Where's Skipper?" Private asked himself.
Private went back inside sat down. It was strange for Skipper not to be around. Just then, he noticed a note lying on the table. He waddled over to it and picked it up. He burst into tears after reading it. Kowalski and Rico sprang out of their bunks. They ran over to Private
"Private? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Kowalski asked.
"He left." Private said in between sobs. "Skipper left."
