TV Tropes 100
We'll start with ten of my favorite TV tropes for this series... aaaand see where it goes from there. And I do love TV tropes, so... it'll probably go a long way :D My thanks to TVTropes . org for this list. Drabs are 100 words.
XOXOXO
1. Nerds are Sexy
Kowalski sat at his desk, biting a pencil, before sliding off of it, standing up, one hand on his hip, looking haughty and nonchalant. A few minutes later not even that was enough for him, and he opted for putting a foot up on his chair, his bent flipper on his knee, with his beak on top of that. Skipper studied him, tilting his head before asking what his was doing.
"Well, I... uhhh..." He didn't get much past this, however, as a photographer angrily began yelling at Skipper. With a shrug, Kowalski apologetically said "Nerds are Sexy."
XOXOXO
2. Everything's Better With Bob
It was Sunday morning when Julien awoke with his new best friend, Bob. It didn't matter that Bob was an old pinata with pieces falling off, and that all the candy had been eaten out of him. Bob and Julien did EVERYTHING together.
This bothered Mort, who had wanted to cuddle Julien's feet for the LONGEST time. Finally, the mouse lemur got his chance. While Julien and Bob were lounging around in the sun Mort took the opportunity to... POUNCE! It was awesome! ...At least... for a minute. Before "Bob" swung around to bat him off the king's feet...
XOXOXO
3. It Is Pronounced Tro PAY
"Penguins."
"Pen-gyu-ins."
"PENG-UINS!"
"Peng-YOO-INS!"
"If you're going to insult us, at least insult us RIGHT! PENG-WINS!"
Dr. Blowhole snorted before turning away from the bird. "Peng-loses, maybe. Nevertheless! You peng-yu-ins are at my mercy!"
"I wouldn't count on it, Blowhole! Especially if you can't say PENGUINS correctly!" Skipper said, trying to shake his flipper, but being restrained... kind of hindered that.
The insult didn't seem to phase the doctor, however. "Peng-yu-ins, get ready for your demise!"
Julien, who was there for some strange reason, laughed. "Dat is HILARIOUS! Now say lemur!"
XOXOXO
4. Rodents of Unusual Size
He didn't think he was THAT much bigger than most. Of course he thought he was bigger than other rats... The Rat King WAS. But mammalian wise. For some reason, that didn't matter here. Well, for the moment it did... and HOW... but at the same time, it didn't. If that makes sense. A voice in his ear provided a counterargument. "You're bigger than average." It purred, trying to stroke his... "ego". Maybe it WAS his ego.
"Not really. Testing those steroids on me caused shrinkage, y'know?" He said back to it. "Like... completely ruins the awesome."
XOXOXO
5. This. Is. SPARTA!
Private ran through the HQ, stopping just in front of Skipper. This action didn't just catch the attention of the lead penguin, but the attention of all penguins. After catching his breath, he spoke. "It's the lemurs! They have... a new... stereo! It's got Dolby Digital Surround sound and 7.1 speakers!" Skipper turned to Kowalski for help, but only got a shrug. Skipper understood only this... it would mean more noise.
"We can't allow it! That's madness!"
Kowalski pulled out his abacus. "Madness? No... This. Is. NEW YORK!" Everyone stared. "...It happens all the time, Skipper."
XOXOXO
6. Valley Girl
"WHAT did you call me!" She yelled. Julien only laughed at her, holding her back.
"I am standing by de words dat I have just said. YOU, otter, are a valley girl! A girl of de valley!"
Well, it was TRUE! She really was. All you had to do was listen to the otter speak. She said "Like" and "Whatever" and "Fer sure" and, if she had hair, she would flip it over her shoulder, and dye it blonde all the time, and twirl it around her finger while she snapped pink bubble gum.
Totally.
XOXOXO
7. Badass Crew
"Men, get in your positions." Skipper said. Training for the day began as normal, early in the morning so they could squeeze it in before all the zoo looky-loos could come in and ruin everything. They chopped and sliced and slid and... in Rico's case, tongued their fake ninja-bowling pin enemies until they were all down for the count.
And in record time too, as the daily crowds were just entering. One boy had managed to come in before everyone else and saw them just finishing up with their fighting. He grinned at the sight. "Damn, they're cool."
XOXOXO
8. Continuity Nod
The TV glowed with images late at night. It was on HBO Family, which the penguins liked, since the shows were... Private appropriate. Right as they were about to turn it off, the screen flashed the HBO logo, and a new movie started. The music waved over them and they watched, to see several dozens of penguins flying out of bushes. "Well... that's... different." Kowalski said, staring at the screen. The other three penguins tilted their heads up, seeing the Skipper look-alikes on the tube.
Skipper glared, crossing his flippers. "I do not remember doing ANY of this!"
XOXOXO
9. Incredibly Lame Pun
"You OTTER have a better idea den dat, otter!"
"Julien, I swear..."
"Ooh, ooh! And it was very much OTTER den dat FIRST idea, too!"
"JULIEN..."
"Hang on, I have another one! We should find some one, OTTER den you, to come up with ideas!"
Soon, even Skipper had had enough. "Ringtail, that's enough of your bad puns! We've heard them all before, we know, so you should..." He snickered around his flipper. "You should LEM-HER alone!" Though, everyone in the room had to admit, that was even worse than the otter puns.
XOXOXO
10. Shipping
Julien chuckled around his partner's tongue. It had proven to be a very enjoyable evening, with the both of them enjoying a delicious dinner, a fantastic dessert... a second dessert, wink wink, and were just having fun being together right then. And as long as they didn't get caught, it would be even better. Then again, who would think of going into the zoovinear shop that late at night anyway? Everything was going according to plan, even though... not even that smarty-pants penguin could plan the unconventional attraction between the two.
Phil smiled soundlessly before going in for another kiss.
A/N: Yeah, that last one was kinda... left field. But I'll do another one later with a different shipping couple, so that'll more than make up for it ;) I love TVTropes, so this was SUPER fun. Especially number four, which I dedicate to the lovely and awesome Evvie, who inspired it. Any suggestions or comments or questions or pancakes... let me know. BOOM baby. I'm back. It was tiny and short and simple, but it was something, dammit!
