Penguins Of MaDagascar: Kipper Version
Prequel
POV: Skipper
I lean against the wall near the lab door secretly watch my second in command as he toiled around in his lab. He wore a look of determination as he took notes on whatever was in front of him. I was a fool to not have realized sooner how alluring he was. I spent all my time trying to be a good commander. I hid my emotions in an attempt to rid myself of something that I now realize is most important to me, being a real leader. Till now I hadn't realized how deeply Kowalski smiles, or how strongly his emotions shows through his eyes. In my constant running I allowed someone else a chance to completely champion the only heart I truly loved. It's to late and that's the only thing I'm positive about. Even so, I've gotta try; it's my right to try.
I lightly knock on the slightly opened lab door.
"Kowalski, I'm coming in," I stand there preparing myself for what I knew was inevitable, "We… need to talk. It's urgent." I give him a moment to digest everything be for I entered. I grasped the door handle and quickly closed it behind me before I had the chance to change my mind. I step forward with a clear look of pain in my eyes; I stopped trying to hide from him long ago.
Kowalski gazes back and concern floods his features. "Are… you alright Skipper," Kowalski hesitates just like I knew he would. He still isn't use to my openness, and I always catch him by surprise; after this moment I hope I still will. This is something that only he and I will ever share.
"I haven't been completely honest to myself, and I want to change that. Being a commander isn't easy."
"Skipper, " Kowalski cuts through my words, and his face turns scared, "you're not giving my an honorary discharge are you."
I give him a questioning look as I say, "Kowalski if you would just." I wasn't able to finish for Kowalski cuts in again.
"Is it because of our recent mishap? Skipper I can do better. I promise I'll"
"No Kowalski… I just."
Kowalski's eyes fill with tears as he continues with and earnest, "Please?"
"Kowalski," I demanded, "I order you to keep quite and allow me to explain!" His body stands in attention and I slowly continue. "As I was saying, Kowalski, Being your commander isn't easy and I have made decisions I've come to regret. You always find a way to invent something that tries to destroy the world, and when you talk you make absolutely no sense. You're a big-brained show off… and… I need you. It would take a penguin stronger than me to push you way. I'm not strong enough, and I don't want to be."
I pause a moment to take a deep breath. Here it goes. "I'm not a poet, I'm not very creative, and I'm not anything you've ever wanted. I don't have beautiful, creative phrases. I just have… I love you Kowalski, more than I rightfully should. I know you deserve so much more, but if I give you all of it… would you be wiling to give some to me in return?"
My voice becomes quiet with fear, "I don't need a whole lot… just a little… Please?" Kowalski eyes light up brighter even though he hides his smile; I cannot understand his reaction, and I am scared, far more than I've ever been.
"I'm sorry," Kowalski says.
I knew that, but I…
