Alright then, first chap of a new fanfic. So lets begin with some of the featured pairs that will be shown in this: first is Skans (Skipper (female) with Hans), second is Kowalski x Eva, and third is Private x Hunter. If you have a problem with any of these, just leave now. If not, let's begin.
Chapter 1: How They Came to Be
Skipper grabbed his fresh cup of joe from the high tech coffee maker and took a sip. Even though it had been a while since Dave was beaten and his team had become part of the North Wind, the taste of their joe was still fantastic. He then waddled into the command center that his team shared with Classified's and immediately regretted it. Once inside he saw his worst fear, needles. Each one of his team had one drawing out some blood. Skipper stopped mid step and stayed still. Then Classified noticed the frozen penguin, walked over to him, and walked him out of the room.
"There is nothing to fear Skipper, it's only a routine blood test to make sure we haven't contracted anything during our missions." explained Classified. "Now the others have already made me aware of your… problem with needles. So I have an alternative method."
"Really, what?", asked Skipper. Classified then pulled out a small knife and made a small cut. He then placed a test tube and gathered some of the blood and corked it. He then places a bandage on the cut. "I definitely prefer that to the alternative."
"Good then.", replied Classified. "It will take a few days to the results to come in, but I will let you know if any irregularities come up."
"Well there shouldn't be, me and my men are in tip top shape.", said Skipper.
"Well we'll see what the blood tests say.", replied Classified.
(A few days later) "Skipper, do you have a moment?", asked Classified.
"Sure I have a moment.", said Skipper. He then followed Classified to a near by empty room.
"We found something in your DNA test results that I would never had foreseen in a million years.", started Classified. "According to our results you are…."
"I am what?", asked Skipper.
"Female." replied Classified. "You are apparently female."
"Well that's impossible. Run it again.", exclaimed Skipper.
"I did, twice in fact and I had the analyzers check too. There is no denying it, you are a girl.", replied Classified. Skipper slumped down against the wall.
"A girl.", said Skipper. "I guess this means that you'll be looking for my replacement as team leader now."
"We would never do that just because you are a girl.", replied Classified. He then sat down next to Skipper. "I wont pretend I know what happens from here, but me and the Commander have been talking and we think it is time to enact operation: vacation."
"Vacation?", asked Private later in the command room.
"That right Private." answered Skipper. "The Commander thinks it is time for our two teams to get even closer. To that extent we have been authorized for vacation time with only one member of the other team. I will be with Classified, Kowalski will of course be with Eva, Rico with Short Fuse, and Private with Corporal."
"But we've always taken our vacations together as a team.", said Private.
"Yes, well sometimes it's best to shake things up.", said Classified. "After all you four are the experts at that."
"Well I still don't like it.", said Private.
"It will be fine. Me and Classified will just be going to a weapons expo.", replied Skipper. "Surely there is somewhere you want to go."
"Well it has been a long time since we last visited our friends at the zoo.", said Private.
"Perfect.", exclaimed Skipper. Skipper then turned to Rico. "And I'm sure that you and Short Fuse will have a blast making things go kaboom." Rico nodded his head to this. Skipper then turned to Kowalski. "And I know that you and Eva can do something romantic."
"Well I have been meaning to do something special.", said Kowalski. "Plus I can finish my neural-controlled flare."
"Just remember not to get too caught up.", said Eva.
"I should be done in a few days.", replied Kowalski. "Leaving me plenty of time for… other important things."
"Alright then now that that's settled, we can get ready for Operation: Vacation.", said Skipper.
(The next day.)"You still need to tell them.", said Classified.
"I will, after we are all back from our vacations.", replied Skipper. "After that, I will tell them. But right now, let's just enjoy the expo." They then enter the center and it was filled to the brim with cool weapons. Normally Skipper would be ecstatic, but yet his heart just wasn't in it. He felt something was…. missing, like a piece of his mojo gone. After a while, Classified began to pick up on this.
"How about I get us something to eat? You just wait here.", said Classified. He then left to find some food. Skipper sat down on a near by bench and looked around lazily, that is until she notice a familiar face in the upper level. It was the face of Hans the Puffin, but just like Skipper, he seemed that he too was just not feeling it. In his wings, he held what looked like a letter. Then someone bumped into Hans from behind and the letter fell from his grasp and right to to Skipper. Now that it was closer, Skipper saw that it was addressed to her. Skipper opened the envelope and began to read the letter within.
'My dear Skippsie,
I know you have no reason to believe me, what I am about to tell you is the most honest thing that I have ever told you. I love you. I think that deep down I always have. I just didn't realize it until being stranded on a deserted island for several weeks. It was only there that I realized my true feeling for you. I know that you'll never believe me and even if you did that it would just disgust you and make you hate me even more that you do now. But I just had to let it out.
Love, Hans'
Just as Skipper finished reading the letter, Hans had come down to him and saw the open letter in Skipper's flippers.
"Skipper, I… I…", said Hans.
"Is it true?", asked Skipper. "Is everything you wrote in this true?"
"Every word.", answered Hans. An awkward silence came between them. "I'll… I'll just be going then." He then turned to leave.
"Hans wait.", said Skipper. Hans turned around. "There's something I need to tell you. Something that I have been keeping locked inside for a long time. Something that I tried to use hate to destroy." Skipper came closer to Hans. "I think… no, I know I love you too." Skipper then pulled the puffin into a deep kiss. He was surprised at first but then began to kiss back. At that moment, Classified returned. Classified coughed to get Skipper's attention. SKipper noticed and broke the kiss.
"Who's your friend?", asked Hans.
"Hans this my friend and fellow operative Classified. Classified this is Hans, an old friend and new boyfriend.", said Skipper.
"Well I brought the food for you and me, but I didn't know we'd joined by…. someone.", said Classified.
"That's ok, I brought my own food. Be right back love.", said Hans before he left.
"What are you thinking Skipper!", exclaimed Classified. "Do you know what the puffin has done, especially in Denmark!"
"For course I do, I was there.", said Skipper. "But I also know that I love him and that he has changed."
"And how would you know that?", asked Classified.
"That is what not only my gut, but also my heart tell me.", answered Skipper. "He is no long with any enemy, but he will become a member of North WInd. I will see to it that happens." Skipper then stormed off and spotted Hans. "Come on Hans." She then grabbed him as she pulled him away to a quiet area.
"Did I cause something to happen between you and Mr. Classified?", asked Hans.
"I just… I will have to show him and the rest that you really can and have turned over a new leaf.", answered Skipper.
"Will they even approve of us together?", asked Hans.
"They will after we convince them and you become part of North Wind. My team should be easy since usually it's them trying to convince me of the good in others." answered Skipper.
"That's not what I meant.", said Hans.
"Oh that. Well that will not be a problem since, as it turns out, I'm female.", replied Skipper.
"Well that's an unexpected turn.", said Hans.
"It's not a problem is it?", asked Skipper.
"No, no, no, just unexpected. It doesn't matter to me what you are, as long as you are still you.", answered Hans. Skipper once again pulled Hans into a deep kiss.
(Elsewhere) "So this is the zoo where you guys grew up.", said Corporal. He and Private were standing outside the Central Park Zoo. Memories of this place were flooding back to Private.
"That's right.", answered Private. "I wonder if any of my old friends are still here and if they will remember me."
"Well if they have meet you, I'm sure they will remember you.", said Corporal. "After all you are…"
"So cute and cuddly.", finished Private.
"How did you…", started Corporal.
"You have a tendency to say that, at least to me.", answered Private.
"Oh right.", said Corporal. "Well it still stands."
"Well there's only one way to find out.", said Private before he and Corporal entered the zoo. Not much had changed since he was last here.
"Private!", yelled out an otter with joy as she grabbed and hugged the penguin.
"Marlene.", said Private with joy as he hugged her back. "It's so good to see you again."
"It's been a long time.", said Marlene as she let go. "So where are the others?"
"It's just me and Corporal here.", answered Private. "The rest are off on their own vacations."
"Ok then.", said Marlene. She then turned her attention to the polar bear. "Hi, my name is Marlene. It's nice to meet you."
"Likewise.", said Corporal. "Any friend of Private's is a friend of mine."
"So what brings you two here?", asked Marlene.
"Well I staying here on vacation for a little bit and you know, just relax and spend some time with old friends.", answered Private.
"Well you certainly can relax. It's been really quiet around here for some time.", said Marlene. "I guess that all the danger decided that it wanted to travel with you guys." They all laughed at this little joke. "And not much has changed really. We do have some new places, like the leopard seal habitat. But you don't have to worry about her, Hunter is a strict fishetarian."
"Wait, say that name again.", said Private.
"Hunter.", repeated Marlene. "Why, do you know her?"
"She is an old friend.", answered Private. "I haven't seen her in a really long time."
"Well then why don't you go see her?", suggested Corporal.
"I would like that very much, but…", said Private. "I would like to see her alone if that's alright."
"You go on. I'll just stay here and talk with Ms. Marlene.", said Corporal.
"Ok then.", said Private. "Now where is she?"
"Her habitat is just that way, you can't miss it.", answered Marlene. "We'll be in my habitat if you need us."
"Alright then, see you all later."said Private before he slid away on his belly in the direction Marlene had pointed. She was right in that it was not hard to find. The habitat was large and made to look like an iceberg with caves and a large pool of water. But yet he did not see Hunter. "She must be inside." He entered the cave and there she was, Hunter. She had grown quite a bit since he last saw her, as she was now a beautiful young adult. She was laying down, looking as if she was thinking of something pleasant, but yet saddening at the same time. Private took another step forward which made a sound. Hunter turned her head toward him and then had an expression as if she could not believe her eyes.
"Private, is that you?", asked Hunter in disbelief. "Is it really you?"
"Hi Hunter.", said Private.
"Oh Private, it really is you.", said Hunter as she came over to Private and gave him a big hug. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too.", replied Private. Hunter continued to hug Private. "Um, Hunter."
"Oh, sorry.", said Hunter as she let him go. "I just am so happy to see you again after so long."
"Yes, too long.", said Private.
"Yeah.", said Hunter. "Well, welcome to my one and only home."
"Only home, what about your home in Antarctica?", asked Private.
"I am no longer welcome there.", answered Hunter with sadness in her voice.
"What happened?", asked Private.
"It was a long time ago.", began Hunter. "A newcomer by the name of Brand had become part of the village. He had a knack for hunting penguins and was always suspicious of me because I didn't hunt them at all. Many of the others followed him and thought of him like a second leader. One day I spotted him cornering a young penguin and jumped into the way to rescue him. Latter on that same day, he accused me of not being a true seal and that I should be banished. My father stepped into to try to protect me, but I knew who the others would follow. I knew that if I let this continue that he would go down with me. So I knocked out my dad and ran. I ran and swam away for as long and as fast as I could. Eventually, I was exhausted and passed out on a piece of ice. When I came to, I found myself here. Apparently, the humans found me and rescued me. I've been here ever since. Sometimes I still miss him."
"Then why'd you do it if you knew what would happen?", asked Private. "Why did you give it all up?"
"Because I couldn't let him eat someone that reminded me so much of the penguin I fell in love with.", answered Hunter. Private was speechless at what she had just said. "There was not a day that I didn't think of you. At first, I thought it was because I missed you and we were friends. But then I realized that it was so much more. I know you don't like me that way and that it could never work out between us and…." Hunter was interrupted by a swift kiss on the lips from Private.
"We'll find a way, because I love you too.", said Private. Tears of joy came from Hunter's eyes as she heard him say that. She then pulled him into a deep kiss.
(Elsewhere) "This is test 45 of the neural-controlled flare. Let's hope that it doesn't blow up again.", said Kowalski to the camera as he began his test. He had set down the flare 20 feet away from him and now put the transmitter on his head. He then willed the flare to ignite, It did so and went a few feet into the air and waited. Kowalski then willed it to write a message in the air. The message said 'test complete'. Kowalski then willed the flare to return to start position. Kowalski then took off the transmitter. "It works! Finally!"
"Good job honey.", said Eva as she entered with a picnic basket. "I knew you would get it."
"Thank you. and I must ask, why do you have a picnic basket?", replied Kowalski.
"I have it because we are going on a little picnic together. Just the two of us.", answered Eva. "I have the perfect spot in mind."
"Alright then. Just give me a sec to grab some things before we go.", said Kowalski.
"No work stuff ok. I don't want any explosions on our little date.", said Eva.
"I've only done that one time.", said Kowalski. "But alright, no work stuff." Eva then snuck in a kiss before she left the lab. Kowalski quickly grabbed a small bag and put the neural-controlled flare into it and then grabbed a small box. "Today is the day." Ne then but the small box into the bag. He then exited the lab were Eva was waiting for him.
"Put this on.", said Eva as she handed a blindfold to him. "I want where we are going to be a surprise." Kowalski did as he was told and then was guided by Eva way.
(Latter) Even though Kowalski could not see, he knew they where in snow due to the drop in temperature and the soft crunching of it beneath them.
"Ok, now you can take it off.", said Eva. Kowalski took of the blindfold and after his eyes adjusted,he was treated to a spectacular view. Eva had brought him to a frozen forest where the water drops had frozen on the trees and a waterfall that had frozen over, creating amazing patterns. Underneath one of the trees next to the waterfall, Eva had set up a small picnic.
"You certainly know how to pick a place.", said Kowalski.
"Thanks.", said Eva. "I thought you'd like it."
"Correction, I love it", replied Kowalski.
"Well then, I happy to be wrong.", said Eva. "Come over here. We don't want the food to go bad." They then ate their lunch of tasty fish and then cuddled up together, just taking pleasure in each other's company. "So how'd you like your surprise?"
"It's great, love. But I think I can top it.", answered Kowalski.
"Oh really, how?", asked Eva.
"Like this.", said Kowalski as he pulled out the neural-controlled flare and the box. He then activated the flare and and began to write in the sky. The message said 'Will you marry me?'. Eva looked back down at Kowalski, who was now on one knee and presenting the open box. Inside the box was a silver anklet (you know since rings aren't an option.) with a center gem of sapphire surrounded by small diamonds. "Eva the Snowy, would you make me the happiest penguin in the world and become my mate?" Tears formed on Eva's eyes and then she pulled Kowalski into a deep kiss. "It take that as a yes then?"
"Yes, my love. I will become your mate for all of time.", replied Eva before pulling him into another deep kiss.
(A few months later) "I'm worried about you Skippsie.", said Hans as he caught Skipper before she fell to the ground. "This is the third time you almost fell this week. I think you should go to the doctor or at least have Kowalski take a look at you."
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired of late. That's all.", replied Skipper as he got back on his feet. "But if it would help you to stop worrying so much, I'll go talk to Kowalski, but no way am I going to the doctor."
"Let's go right now.", said Hans. "After all, it will take him some time to set things up." They made their way down to Kowalski's lab and found that it was already set up for what they needed. "How'd you know?"
"Know what?", asked Kowalski.
"That Skipper wasn't feeling well.", answered Hans.
"I actually didn't know that.", said Kowalski with surprise.
"Then why do you have everything set up?", asked Hans.
"Because Eva is also a little under the weather.", answered Kowalski. "I hope this isn't some sort of epidemic in the making. Skipper, have you been having moments that you have or almost fallen?"
"Yes, but it's nothing. I'm just a little tired.", answered Skipper.
"Eva said the exact same thing.", said Kowalski. "But there is only one way to prove whether or not it is some sickness ailing the two of you. And that is with science. I'll just run a blood sample from Eva, and that should give us the information we need." Kowalski then inserted a blood sample into the machine and after a few seconds, the results appeared on the screen. "Well there appears to only be one abnormality; an increased amount of hormones which, in this case could only be caused by…."
"By what?", asked Hans.
"Yes, what is it dear?", asked Eva as she entered the lab.
"Eva, you…. we…. We have an egg on the way. We're going to be parents.", said Kowalski.
"This… this is the best news I've ever heard. We're going to have a baby.", said Eva as she hugged and then kissed Kowalski.
"But that would mean... ", started Skipper.
"We're having a baby.", said Hans in disbelief. "We're having a baby!" Hans then pulled Skipper into a big hug.
"What's all the commotion?", asked Private as he entered the lab.
"Eggs! Skipper and Eva are soon going to have eggs!", answered Hans.
"Well congrats.", replied Private.
"And a coincidence.", said a familiar voice. Private turned around and saw Hunter along with Rico.
"Hunter, what are you doing here?", asked Private.
"There's something I need to tell you.", replied Hunter. "I'm with child Private. We're having a baby."
"We're having a baby. I never thought it would be possible.", said Private.
"Are you ok honey?", asked Hunter.
"Am I ok. I'm better than ok, a miracle has happened and we're having a baby!", replied Private before he gave her a big, deep kiss. They all then began talking about how the babies would look like and how they would take care of them and other things of that nature. In the commotion, Rico tried to slip away unseen, but was noticed by Kowalski. He also noticed a look of sadness in his brother's eyes.
"I'll be right back my snowflake.", whispered Kowalski to Eva before he went after Rico. He saw Rico mopeing away thought the hallway. "Rico, wait." Rico stopped. Kowalski walked up to him. "What's wrong Rico?" Rico said something in his usual gibberish and pointed toward the lab. "I see, you're sad that we all have little ones on the way, but you don't." Rico nodded his head yes. "Well then, maybe there is a way I can change that." Rico looked at him asking how. "Well I could try to make a clone of you that starts out as an egg and then grows as normal penguins do. At least as normal as a clone of you can get. I'll get started on that tomorrow. But today, we celebrate the coming of new life." They then began walking back to the lab.
(A few days later) "Let's see if this is the lucky one.", said Kowalski to himself as he placed the newest egg into the scanner. After a few seconds, the results appeared on screen: negative. "Darn it! Another sterile egg." He then tossed out the egg. Kowalski rubbed his tired eyes. He had been at this for hours and was exhausted, with only sheer willpower and coffee to keep him awake. Eva then entered the lab. "Eva what are you doing? You should be asleep."
"The same can be said for you.", replied Eva. "Honey, I know how important this is, but you're running yourself into the ground. You need some sleep. Please come back with me to the nest."
"One last attempt for tonight, ok?", replied Kowalski. "I'm so close. I know it."
"One last attempt, then you're coming with me.", answered Eva. Kowalski gave her a quick kiss and then fired up the cloning machine one more time. Out popped another egg, which Kowalski put into the scanner. The results came on screen and this time is was positive.
"Yes, I did it!", exclaimed Kowalski. He then grabbed the egg. "I've got to take this to Rico. You go onto bed. I won't be long." Kowalski then walked to Rico's room and knocked on the door. A half asleep Rico opened the door and then noticed the egg in Kowalski's flippers. Rico then talked. "Yes Rico, it is." Rico talked excitedly as he grabbed the egg. and put it in his brood pouch. "RJ. That's what you're going to name him?" RIco nodded his head yes. "Ok then. So that makes three males and one female." Rico then spoke in his gibberish (If any of you out there know how to write what Rico is saying, let me know.) "I know what Hunter says, science says that it will be a boy. Anyway I should get back to Eva. Good night." He then started heading back to the nest.
(A few months later) "Hans, come quick, it's happening!", yelled Skipper. Hans rushed to Skipper's side. There inside their nest, sat their egg, which had just begun to rock back and forth. Then a small crack formed in the middle of the egg. Then a small hole formed as a large piece came off. Then the egg split apart and out popped a baby bird, all covered in fluffy black and white down (Yes I know that isn't how it is in real life, but in the PoM universe, that is how it is.) She had inherited her mother's flat head and beak shape as well as her father's feet, beak coloration, wings, and eyes. She also had blue circles around her eyes. Skipper carefully picked up the baby puffguin.
"Oh Skipper, she's so beautiful.", said Hans softly. "Just like her mother."
"But, our little Skyler has so many traits like her father.", said Skipper.
"Yes, our little Skyler.", said Hans.
(Elsewhere in the HQ) Kowalski and Eva stood over the nest as their egg began to break open. Then out of the egg came their little baby. He had his mother's beak color and wings and his father's body shape, feather coloration, eyes and feet. The little chick walked over to his mother and snuggled up to her.
"Look at him, our little Sebastian.", said Eva.
"Where did that name come from?", asked Kowalski.
"I don't know, it just came to me.", answered Eva.
"Well I like it.", replied Kowalski.
(Rico's room) Rico felt a little kick from the egg on his feet and knew that it was time. He moved the egg out from his brood pouch and then a small crack appeared. Then the egg suddenly burst apart making eggshell fly a decent distance. Where the egg was, now was a little penguin chick that looked just like Rico was when he was that young. The chick opened it's eyes revealing that the right-flipper eye was blue and the other green. But Rico didn't care about that, he was too happy that he now had a son.
(Elsewhere) Private paced worryingly in front of the doors of the room Hunter was in. She had gone into labor sometime ago and Private hadn't gotten any news of her or their baby in that time. Then the doors opened and one of the nurses came out.
"How are they?", asked Private.
"They're both fine.", answered the nurse. "You can see them now." Private went paster her and into the room. There in the bed lay Hunter and wrapped up in her arms their baby sleeping soundly. Private walked up to the side of the bed and then gave Hunter a kiss.
"How are you?", asked Private.
"I'm fine, just tired.", answered Hunter. "Let me bring her closer." She then gently moved the bundle closer to Private so he could see. Their daughter had white skin with small gray spots on her flippers, her father's beak and her mother's body shape, making her look more seal than penguin.
"She is so beautiful and cute.", said Private.
"Well she does get her cuteness from her father.", said Hunter. Then the baby sealguin began to stir from her sleep. As the baby moved, Private noticed a small black mark on the back of her neck that was shaped like a star. The baby's eyes opened, revealing that they were blue. She stuck her little flipper toward Private. Private extended his and she grasped it. "What should we name her?"
"Zoe.", answered Private.
"I like that. Our little Zoey.", said Hunter.
Ok, so that was the first chap. thought it's more of a prolog. Sorry for having to jump all over the place, but there should be less of that now. But yeah, that's how our main characters came to be. Please comment below, because as always I'd love to hear your thought, feeling, or just simply letting me know that I am not just talking to myself here. Ok then, I will see you in the next chapter. Bye-bye.

Hi guys.
