Twins: [whining] MOMMA MOMMA MOMMA MOMMA MOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMAAAAAAA.
Eva: What? What could you POSSIBLY want NOW?
The twins had been bothering her today as she was left in charge of them while the others went and scoped around the zoo to make sure everything was alright. There was a short pause before they smiled widely.
Aden: We want to go see Mommy and Daddy!
Eden: Yeah! We wanna go surfing too!
Sky walked into the room and smirked with the remaining two of the team copying her.
Sky: You DID promise them that we would go sometime after your foot was healed you know.
Cory: It's not nice to break your promises.
Silver: So, can we go?
Eva looked down and saw the twins' pleading eyes and gave in.
Eva: Oh sure. But just for a little bit. It'll be nice to see those guys again. We leave in half an hour so pack up. We have to tell everyone the club will be closed for the time being.
It was a sunny day on Pen Gu Island for all the island's inhabitants and vacationers.
A cheering was heard on the private shore near an old shack as Big Z and Cody finished their surfing and came in. Five female penguins and two little twins were standing there watching the two surf to their hearts' content.
Eva: [high-fives Big Z] Dude, that was awesome! You have to teach me all you know!
The twins ran up to Cody and tackled him shouting: "Daddy!" Cody picked them up and hugged them. He saw the female penguin commando team.
Cody: Whoa. I thought I heard cheering for the amazing me. Where did you guys come from?
Eva punched his arm smiling.
Silver: I'm pretty sure you already had that talk with your parents.
Sky: Silver! Not in front of the kids! [elbows slightly]
Eva: But seriously. We just came for a visit. Maybe surf some, take in the rays, swim, have a barbeque. You know, the usual.
Cory: The kids just couldn't wait to see you again.
They had laid down Cody's surfboard. Aden was standing on it and Eden was shifting it side to side slightly to help him imagine the waves under him.
Cody turns to Silver.
Cody: Do you surf?
Silver: Never tried actually.
Cody: [raises eyebrow] Well then I guess its time to join you in.
Silver looks uneasy but lets Cody drag her over to the surf boards and get her own along with the other girls too.
By the time they were in the water, they all had their own special board. Lani and Cody wrote everyone's names down in a different color. Eva's in light blue to match her blue flowers, Sky's in green, and Cory's in purple. Silver's was a dark red.
Cody then begins to show Silver how to paddle and she ends up flipping over when an unexpected wave came out of nowhere while the others dove underneath it and re-surfaced. Everyone started to laugh as Silver popped up with some seaweed on her head and climbed onto her board with a pout.
Lani: Don't worry. A little practice always helps. You'll be great in no time.
Silver growled lightly but got back on and then a humungous wave came bearing down at them and Silver shut her eyes and let her instincts take over. She opens her eyes to find herself in the tube along side Cody and she stares in awe but stumbles. Cody calls out to her.
Cody: Long, slow, and smooth.
She follows his instructions and she's beside him enjoying the wave. When they exited she saw everyone clapping and or cheering. Eva paddled over.
Eva: You were great! See? Not that hard.
Cory: But it's fun to keep your eyes open the entire time.
Big Z came in time to see it and nods approvingly but then notices her blue feathers. Her Mohawk was styled different now because the front was split to go down her face while the rest went to the right in a sideways Mohawk. The rest was down because it was wet. But the blue feathers reminded Big Z of his long lost niece. After all she had the same blue feathers but without the scar.
For the rest of the day they kept on surfing until the moon was out. They came back in and made the island's classic. Squid on a stick. They even all fell asleep by the campfire.
~At the zoo~
Kowalski was fiddling with a device that had a screen of an island with some yellow energy pulses emanating from a giant volcano.
Kowalski: Sir, I think you should have a look at this. It seems that there is strange activity in this area but I can't seem to find the name of this island.
Skipper: [walks over] Strange activity is almost NEVER good.
Voice: Oh, hello. I just came to borrow your TV.
Skipper: Almost as bad as that. [turns to King Julien] No, you CAN'T watch TV right now because Private is watching the Lunacorns.
King Julien: But I-
Skipper: Niet.
King Julien: But-
Skipper: Ap!
King Julien: I-
Skipper: Nope.
King Julien: OK OK. Fine. I won't be taking your stinking TV. [sees island] Oh hey! I know dat place!
Kowalski: So you know the name then?
King Julien: Well duh. Dat is Pen Gu Island. Silly penguin. That's the surfing capital of ze whole world.
Skipper: And you know that, HOW?
King Julien: Neighboring Island of Madagascar. I looked forward to watching them surf when it came to competitions.
Skipper: Really? Then why haven't we heard about it?
Private: Oh I have! I watched it every year on the telly. My favorite was Big Z until he disappeared.
King Julien: Yes, he truly was da best. Well, only because I don't surf. But if I did, I would be da bestest of da best. Even better than that dummy Tank Evans.
Skipper: Let me guess, because you're king?
King Julien: See, now you are getting it.
Skipper rolled his eyes.
Private: The most recent one was Cody finding Big Z once more. They are supposed to be there for next week's contest. The Big Z Memorial. Though I forgot the number.
King Julien: Well, I remember watching the 8th.
Private: And I remember the 9th.
Skipper: OK, we get it. There were many. Big whoop. Now back to the matter at hand.
Private: Sorry Skippah. [continues to watch Lunacorns]
King Julien: Well I'm not.
Skipper: Will you just, LEAVE ALREADY?
King Julien: Hey! No one bosses around da king! The bossiness comes FROM da king to the peasant nobodies like you. So shut up a little.
Skipper pushed him out the door and slammed it shut ignoring his shouts of protest.
Skipper: Anyways. Now that we have a name and a location. What's wrong?
Kowalski: It's giving off a weird energy source. Even though there is a volcano the energy's not the same. It's one like the things Hans makes for his weapons.
Rico popped up behind them and got out some nun-chucks and started to swing them around. He let go on one of the swings and it flung across the room hitting a vase off the table. Skipper shook his head.
Skipper: Alright boys. Looks like we're going on a mission to this island. What was the name again?
Private: Pen Gu Island. And the only way to get there is by whale.
Skipper: Alright boys get ready we leave in 30.
*Meanwhile*
Everyone was now up and enjoying the morning
Sky: Looks like we fell asleep outside. Well yesterday was fun.
Eva: No kidding.
Cody: Hey you guys should join in the competition. You're all really good.
Eva: Sure.
Sky: Count me in!
Cory: You had me at 'join'.
Silver: Alright.
Cody: Alright! Let's get you signed up and lets do some more surfing woohoo!
They head over then sign up then they are out on the water and Silver is shredding it out there along side Cody. Lani was on shore with the kids, Big Z, and the rest of the commando team. The girls were signing up to help with welcoming newcomers. They were supposed to put leis around their necks and greet them. Lani saw a familiar face in the water so she shouted out.
Lani: Cody! Kai's here with some new visitors!
He headed for shore so Silver followed. She saw Eva, Sky, and Cory wearing grass skirts with blue, orange, and white hibiscus flowers above their left ear-holes. When they saw a whale come close to the shore Lani, Big Z, and Cody all waved as some penguins swam to shore. The girls all put the leis they were holding around their necks without noticing who it was. They giggled to each other and walked away to get more.
Silver: Guys?!
Kowalski: Silver? What are YOU doing here?
Skipper: I thought those three looked familiar.
Eva and the others turn and smiled at them. Silver laughs softly and feels Kowalski staring at her. Rico came up and hugged her happy to see his twin again. She hugs back happily then when they separate tackles Kowalski in a flying hug. Cory raced up to Private and they hugged like they childhood friends who haven't seen each other in 7 years.
Cody: Really heart felt. Honestly.
Big Z saw the resemblance of Rico and Silver realizing they were twins. Silver still looked like his long lost niece but the difference was the twin and the scar.
Skipper: You, big fella. [suspicious voice] Why are you looking at Rico and Silver like that?
Sky smacked his arm.
Private: Skippah! That's Big Z!
Big Z: So you a fan?
Private: Oh yes! You're simply EPIC when it comes to surfing.
Eva: Oh, we haven't introduced you guys yet. Big Z, meet Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and another biggest fan Private. Guys, this is Big Z, Cody, and Lani.
Two twins came running through the middle of them playing tag until the girl tackled the boy into the sand. They started laughing.
Sky: The girl with the pink flower is Eden and the boy is Aden. You know, the twins.
Skipper: They are really cute.
Then a big burly boy, aka Tank Evans walks through going for his board but Silver was in his way and he smacks her out of it. Silver fell to the floor with an 'oof'.
Kowalski: Hey, watch it buddy!
Tank: [leans into Kowalski's face] Oh yeah, what you gonna do about it, little man?
Eva: Leave him alone Tank. I didn't know that after losing so hard that you would dare show your face again.
Tank: [stands tall] What did you say pipsqueak?
Sky: You were beaten before, and can be beaten again. We'll be entering the contest and we'll show you who's boss.
Tank: [smirks] Why enter if you know I'll win.
Cody: Because all you'll win is the LOSER TROPHY.
Tank: That chicken won last time because I underestimated you two but now your going to eat fire urchin so hard your grand children will be feeling pain.
With that he grabs his board and heads out smashing through several children's boards.
Private: I don't know if I've met a meaner penguin in my whole life.
Eva: That skunk bag. Thinks himself so high and mighty. He got beat by a chicken from Michigan. Pft.
Sky: Even the kids don't like him. Just ask them.
Aden: He's a dirty trash can full of poop.
Eden: [smacks back of his head] You got that from Arnold!
Aden: So?! it's true!
Chicken Joe *calling from a hot tub with Pen Guans*: Hey Cody!
Cody: Sup Joe?
Joe climbs out and walks over to him. They do their handshake.
Chicken Joe: Just saw what happened.
He goes over to Silver who is now on her feet rubbing her cheek where he hit.
Chicken Joe: Sorry about him. He's a real jerk sometimes. [walks to Big Z and Lani] Sup Lani, Z.
He got tackled by the twins and they immediately start burying him in a sand castle.
Chicken Joe: Whoa. Hey there little dudes.
Eden giggled.
Lani: So yeah, that's Chicken Joe. Those Pen Guans in the pot are his followers. Joe's kind of like their king so, yeah. Best not to mess with them.
Eva: Joe was the one who beat Tank the Stank last year.
Chicken Joe: [shocked face] I did?
Lani: He is also forgetfully but that's what makes him more amazing.
Skipper: Lazy, says 'dude', and forgetful. [narrows eyes] Just like a hippy.
Chicken Joe: [turns to Silver] I saw your out there surfing. I think you have real potential.
He wiggles out of the castle and pats Silver on the back while the kids lose interest and start playing tag again.
Chicken Joe: Really great for your first try on surfing.
Silver: Thanks.
The Pen Guans ran up to Joe and started speaking in some foreign language. He nodded.
Chicken Joe: Well I have to go feed these guys. Catch up with you later.
Pen Guans:[fast] Yum yum yum yum yum.
When they left everyone turned back to the guys.
Eva: So what are you guys doing here?
Skipper: I asked first.
Sky: You're seriously not going with the classified thing are you? We're just here on vacation.
Silver: My first so I'm off. Peace!
She grabs Cody's flipper and her board and he grabs his and they head out into the water and waited for the perfect wave.
Big Z: Hey, Kowalski is it? How about you learn how to surf to impress your lady friend?
Lani: [shoves Big Z] Geek! C'mon! Why don't we teach ALL of them? It'll be fun!
Big Z: If they're anything like Cody I can only handle one at a time.
The girl commandos and Big Z laughed.
Lani: C'mon! It'll be easier with these three, Cody, and me helping.
Big Z: Oh, I don't know. Do you know how long it'll take? And then there's the board making and the-
He stopped when he saw Private looking at him with big, pleading eyes.
Big Z: [smiles and pats his head] Alright. I guess we could try.
Eva: Woohoo! Well what are we waiting HERE for?
Sky: Let's go get them some board wood!
Eva: Let's leave Silver out to enjoy herself.
They nod then head out to find koa wood after an hour of letting Silver have her fun.
Skipper: Stay on your toes boys. There could be traps anywhere.
Eva, Sky, Silver, and Cory rolled their eyes.
Cory: There ARE no traps.
Eva: Sky and I have been going here for years and with Cory for two.
Sky: All we need to watch out for is the Pen Guans and getting on their bad side.
Lani: Just follow us.
Soon enough they gather all the wood they need and drag it to the private shore.
The guys all gaped at the beautiful scene of the glistening sea water, the white sand, the tall green trees and the cloud spotted sky under the warm sun. The sweet smell of salt drifted around their beaks lightly.
Rico: Whoa.
The girls giggled and Big Z smiled as they continued on their way.
Private stepped a little too far to the right and the next thing he knows he is hanging upside down by his right ankle and is being held at spear point with more of Chicken Joe's followers. Private gulped.
Skipper: Private! [turns to Eva] I told you!
Eva: Take a chill pill Mr. Crabbypants. [turns to Pen Guans] We're with the chicken.
Pen Guan #1: Chicken?
Pen Guan #2: [turns to #1] Chicken.
Both: Chicken!
They all started to chorus each other until a pause came up.
All Pen Guans: CHICKEEEEEEEEEN!
Sky pulled out some squids and gave them out. Eventually they cut Private's rope and he fell on his back.
Sky: [flirty smirk at Skipper] Told ya.
Skipper blushes under his feathers.
Eva: [whispers to Sky] I'm going to have to use that one day.
Cody and Silver: Race you!
Cody: What we ahhh-!
He got once more stuck in another trap.
Cody: Awww come on!
Silver covers her beak to keep from smiling which was failing badly.
Lani: Really Cody? You've been caught in these things at least three times so far this week.
Silver got out a knife and cut the rope making him fall on his face. He got up and dusted himself of.
Cody: Yeah well you know what? I'm done talking with you. [starts walking]
Lani: Oh c'mon! [trying not to laugh, following him into the shack] Cody!
Cody: Nope! I don't want to hear it.
Cory: On another note. How about you guys learning how to surf?
Private: I thought Kowalski already knew how though.
Kowalski: I do. I only agreed because they promised to teach you guys. I knew it would be a dream come true for Private.
Silver: Really? Then how about a contest after we make our boards?
Cody appears with dye.
Cody: We will be able to identify your board by color. Now your choice.
Kowalski grabs the teal and baby blue while Private grabs yellow and purple. Skipper grabs a normal blue and black while Rico takes a dark green and black.
Big Z stood to the side and watched as Cody explained how to create the board. About the board already in the tree and just finding it, smooth strokes that aren't too long, all that. He was smiling at the scene as Cody drew the outline of the boards and they got to work.
Everyone already had their boards with them except for the boy penguin team as they were making theirs now.
Big Z: [turns to Silver and Cody] You two go on ahead we got it here.
Silver and Cody share a glance then they grab their boards and are out before everyone can blink.
Lani: I got life guard duty but I will be back later.
She heads up but not before Big Z calling out "Bring me some more clams!".
She was seen shaking her head as she called back.
Lani: That's the third batch in two months!
Big Z: [waves a flipper at her now gone figure] Pah! She'll get them.
Eva: Yeah. So how about some of your music for Skipper? [sly smile] I'm sure he would love it.
Cory and Sky started to stifle laughs as Big Z got a huge grin.
Big Z; Hey! That's not a bad idea!
He went to the shack and came out with a ukelele. He started to play while singing and the girls all laughed loudly at Skipper's face after the third run through. Before he could explode Eva, Sky, and Cory joined the other two saying that "everything was under control".
Eva was floating on her back staring at the clouds for most of the time while the others actually surfed. Every once and a while they would join her.
Silver is just sitting back enjoying the feel of water on her feathers then a perfect wave hit Silver began to surf but Eva didn't see it. Big Z made an X in the sand while smiling at the guys knowingly. He started counting down from 5 and sure enough, Eva washes up coughing while Silver rides the wave.
Eva: [spits out sand] Bleh. I've eaten GUN POWDER that tastes better than this. [stands up] I guess I'm done for now.
The X was still in the same spot unharmed. Eva saw Sky laughing with the rest of the guys so she made a sand ball chucking it at Sky. It knocked her off her board in the water yelling.
Sky: Ahhh-!
She resurfaced a while later and saw Eva bent over in laughter.
Cody: You know for someone who has never surfed before your amazing.
Silver ruffles her feathers embarrassed by the praise. She had really never gotten any before so she didn't know how to respond.
Silver: Thanks.
She then turns on her board then went under again and resurfaced. She then turned for the next great wave and rode on top just relaxing and enjoying her self.
Eva: Well I'm outta here.
Private: Where are you going?
Eva: [picks up board, calls over shoulder] Don' worry 'bout it.
Eva then sauntered off. The guys looked over at Sky.
Sky: Sorry. It's a secret.
Silver and Cody watch her go and shrug then head into another wave but this time Cody was doing amazing flips in the air while Silver watched carefully.
Kowalski: So you guys just let her go off on her own without knowing where she's headed?
The girls on shore and Big Z looked at each other. They looked at Kowalski with smiles and nodded.
All three: Yup.
Sky and Cory started to polish their boards and Big Z walked over to inspect how everyone was doing. Kowalski was doing well as was Rico. Private was doing it a bit weird so Big Z fixed the problem by giving Private something to stand on. Now he was about Rico's height by standing on the rock. He turned to Skipper and did NOT expect to see what was there.
It was absolutely perfect. First try and it was amazing. Big Z ran a flipper up and down on it and it felt smooth.
Big Z: Wow. I'm impressed. First time?
Skipper nods.
Big Z: Well looks like you have a natural talent. At least with MAKING the board.
Big Z grabs the colors Skipper chose and began to show skipper the flame design where it is blue flames with a black back ground. Skipper then took the dye and started to paint it.
Big Z: Alright. When it's done I want you to take it out in the water and show me what you got.
Skipper: You got it.
Skipper gave a salute and then continued the task at hand.
Kowalski and Rico finished theirs next when Skipper was almost done with the paint.
Big Z felt Rico's board.
Big Z: You may want to make it smoother other wise its harder to control the speed.
Rico nods and sets to work and Big Z feels Kowalski's board.
Big Z: Very good alright let's see.
He grabs the paints and shows Kowalski the swirl pattern. Teal was the main background and the light blue was swirling all over in an mystifying way. Big Z gave the colors to Kowalski and he started to fill his board in too. Big Z then walked over to Private's board and inspected it. As it was done Big Z drew a special design for his little fan. He drew a giant star in the middle in purple and drew curved lines leading to the star from the top and the bottom which were yellow. The star was also outlined in yellow with a purple background. He also took a black and signed Private's name at the top with a tiny star at the top right side of his name.
Private looked at his board with amazement and began to paint it with a quick thanks to Big Z (more like glomping him saying thank you over and over). Skipper's board is done and dried. Big Z notices and gives it a finally look over.
Big Z: Yup. Only have one test now before you can get in the water.
Skipper: Test? What test?
Sky and Cory smiled knowing there was a freak out about to happen. They called out to Cody.
Sky: Hey Cody!
Cory: Big Z is doing the 'Test' on Skipper's board!
Cody: Oh I am SO there! Hold on!
He paddled in an not wanting to be alone Silver swam in too.
Skipper: What do you mean? What's going to- Whoa whoa whoa! What are you doing man?
Skipper saw Big Z walk over with a giant boulder. Big Z put it down as the Sky and Cory held Skipper back by the flippers and head.
Skipper: Hey! What's he doing? Let me go!
Big Z stood up on the rock before climbing on the board. Skipper started to freak out when Big Z began jumping on the board. Silver cracks up laughing. Big Z's test is over, much to Skipper relief, and the board is fine.
Big Z: OK it passes the test.
Then he did the same too Kowalski's, Private's, and Rico's though they would have to do the paint.
Big Z: :ooks like all past. Cody if you would.
Skipper, Private, and Kowalski grab their boards looking to see if they were OK to use. Kowalski had already done this before so he needed no help. Private turned out to be a natural claiming he only watched Big Z surf in four competitions and that's how he learned. His only problem was staying balanced inside a tube. He would instantly wipe out.
Rico was a pretty fast learner too. He was doing great until he got distracted by Skipper.
Speaking of which, was the worst surfer ever. He couldn't even stay balanced long enough to get on top of a wave. He kept falling over, and over, and over again. Each time with a big splash and a 'whoa!' or an 'ah!'.
Silver grinned and paddled up to him.
Silver: Why don't you climb on mine and try it with some help first?
Skipper grumbles but gets on behind her while Big Z got Skipper's board back onto the shore. A voice came from behind them.
Voice: [teasingly] My my Skipper. Now you're with Silver? How would the others react to this?
They turned and saw Eva sitting on her board.
Silver: Oh hey Eva. Where did you go?
Kowalski: I was wondering the same thing actually.
Eva: Oh. Um, kind of hard to explain. Some leaves, a hole, some caves, a volcano, worms, you know. That whole thing.
Sky: Oh there?
Cody: Dude! I love that place! Might be good practice for Skipper actually.
Eva: Maybe he'll be brave enough to go through the left tunnel.
Sky: What!? You have to be hard core to do that!
Cory: Or disgusting.
Cody: Or just plain stupid.
Sky: Oh, so like you?
Eva: Ooooh. You just got TOLD sucker! Yeah man! [high fives Sky]
Cody: Hey! That was a one time thing!
Silver glares at them and unsuspectingly goes under the wave that knocked the rest off their boards and onto the beach and when they surface they laugh.
Eva gets up.
Eva: If you think THAT'S funny, you should wait until one of these brave soldiers enter the left tunnel instead of the right.
Sky: Oh, I can't wait for someone to try it!
Cory: If someone did that for me...
All three start laughing and walking off into the forest.
Big Z: [chuckling] You guys might want to go follow before they out brave you.
Silver growls and paddles back in then they race after. They go to the place where it all starts. Eva, Sky, Cory, and Cody each pick leaves, enough for the lot of them.
Skipper: Oh we've seen this before.
Everyone jumps in but didn't expect all those twists, turns, or even all the lava everywhere. Everyone was screaming. Some in fear, like Private and Kowalski, while others were having a blast cheering, like everyone else. When they make it to the ramp that splits off, Silver goes to the left along side Skipper while the other boys stay with the girls.
At the end jump Silver and Skipper shouted.
Both: Hope you don't get hurt near the end.
Eva: We won't, but your pride will be!
As the majority landed safely due to the path on the right, they saw Skipper and Silver land in a puddle of blue goop. As they came up they saw the three girls and Cody laughing, Cory on the ground.
Skipper: Hey, why are you laughing?
Silver: What is this stuff anyways?
Eva pointed up while clutching her stomach in silent laughter. Everyone not laughing looked up and saw glow worms.
With Skipper and Silver right under them.
Silver: Surprising this is a lot better than what Blowhole would make me land in so I'm not complaining.
Skipper groans and climbs out and shakes off his feathers. Silver also climbs out and shakes her too but instead of annoyed she's more curious.
Eva: Told you your pride would be hurt.
Skipper: But you didn't give us a warning! Nothing!
Sky: We said it was for the stupid and disgusting. What more do you want?
Eva: [shrugs] Eh. It was funny and that's all I need.
Silver eyes the goop and makes a ball and chucks it at Eva hitting her strait in the face. Not a moment later Silver and Skipper both are throwing goop balls at everyone. Being the resourceful chick that she is, Sky picked up her leaf and used it like a shield. Eva sees this and pushed Sky into the goop.
Eva: I say shields are cheating so ha!
And then she slid as fast as she could out of there laughing to herself.
Skipper got in a lucky shot and hit her in the back of the head. Silver and Skipper high five and everyone is covered in goo.
Cory: So nasty.
Cody: Eh. I'm kinda used to it.
Sky: Yeah, not me. I'm going to go shower off at the falls. I'm sure that's where Eva went.
Private: Can I come to? I feel really, icky.
Cody: Sure. Just follow us.
They started walking and ended up at a natural mini-waterfall. They expected to see a female penguin also but all they saw was water and rocks.
