A Hurted Heart
Chapter 1: When Evil Enters Your Body

Marlene growls. She just wake up from her sleep and
saw a letter on her table.
"I think I know who's the sender..." said her.
And she opens the letter.

'Everytime I saw you,
My heart always pounds very fast,
I always become nervous,
But I always want to meet you
I don't know why,
Till I notice something,
I love you.

From: Your admirer, Skipper.'

She muttered. When will he stop it?
She sighs. Everything is started three days ago.

Skipper walks into her cave, bringing a rose, her
favorite flower.
"Hi, Skipper! Well, what are you doing here?" ask her.
"Well... Marlene... I... Yeah... I..." said Skipper, lack of
words.
"Speak clearly, Skipper! I can't understand!" said her.
"I... I love you, Marlene. Would you be my girlfriend?"
ask Skipper, blushes.
"What? We're just friend!" said her.

She refused Skipper, but seems Skipper will never
gives up. He has been sent 3 letters till now, and all
of them are poetics that Marlene sure made by
Private, cause she knows that Skipper isn't a romantic
man.
Suddenly an idea comes to her mind. 'It will stop
Skipper, at least for several weeks', thought her. 'I can'
t believe that I must do this...'

That afternoon, Marlene meets Antonio in the park,
outside the zoo. She never goes berserk anymore
since... Skipper helped her. 'But we're just friend!'
thought her.
"Hi, Marlene. How are you?" ask Antonio.
"Fine, thanks" said her. She takes a deep breath first. "
Antonio, you've ever asked me to be your girlfriend,
right?"
"yes... A month ago..." said Antonio, hesitate.
"Now, i want to be your girlfriend." said Marlene,
blushes.
"Finally! Oh my love!" said Antonio, hugs her.
'uh... This is really bad...' thought her. But she repay
the hug.
"let's go to my zoo, honey" said Marlene.
"sure" said Antonio.

The penguins are having an exercise on their platform.
Skipper sighs. 'I'm really stupid... My love stories
always ended with failure...' thought him.
Suddenly Marlene comes to them, with Antonio.
"hello, guys!" said Marlene, cheerfully. "you know?
Antonio and I are a couple now!"
"alright..." said Kowalski, looks at his leader.
Skipper looked very shocked.
Then Antonio kisses Marlene's cheek. Marlene giggles.
Skipper's heart felt like going to explode. He can't
watch this.
"Well, I have another bussiness now. Bye." said Skipper,
slides into the h.q.
"Well, bye Marlene. Bye Antonio." said Kowalski, walks
into the h.q with Rico and Marlene.
"Bye." said Antonio.
Marlene stares the fishbowl entrance. 'Did I hurt him
deeply? He looked very shocked...' thought her. 'But it'
s his fault! I've ever refused him, but he can't stop! So
I did that!'
"Honey? Are you okay?" ask Antonio.
Marlene shakes her head. "yes, sweetheart. Well, can
you carry me to my habitat? I think I'll go home now..."
said her.
"sure, my love" said Antonio.

'alright... So she did it only to hurt my heart...' thought
Skipper. He's lying on his bunk, staring the wall beside
him. 'okay. That's what she want. I must stop from
chasing her. Fine. I'll never meet her again'. His heart is
really hurted. He can't believe this. A girl, who always
acts cute, and always naive, is trying to break - or
destroy - his heart. It's like she's not herself. But it's
been happened.
Kowalski walks to him.
"Sir? Are you okay?" ask Kowalski. He knows that
Skipper loves Marlene. And he understand that Marlene
just breaking Skipper's heart.
"yes, Kowalski. I'm fine." said Skipper, without turns his
face to Kowalski.
"Can I do something for you?" ask Kowalski again.
"no, thanks. This is my personal problem." said Skipper.
"alright..." said Kowalski, hesitates.
"and... Please, acts like normally to Marlene. This is only between me and her. You, Rico, and Private, just keep behave like usually to her. Understand?" said Skipper, still staring the wall.
"yes, sir." said Kowalski. He always thinks Skipper is a wise leader, and now Skipper just shows that it's right. He never brings his team into his personal problem. Well, maybe a little when he fell in love with Kitka and that doll, but it's never more than it.
Kowalski decides to let Skipper alone now. So he walks away.

To be continued...

A/N: Actually I can't believe Marlene can did that... Like what Skipper said, she's too cute and too naive! But, well, I promise I'll make it happy ending! Please review!
