O.C. 1

Name: Maverick

Gender: Male

Animal: Wolf

Fur color: Brown

Distinguishing features: Stands upright when humans aren't present, rebellious and hostile to any opposing authority (specificallly Julien), plays a guitar he hides from the humans, has a large and slightly disturbing obsession with apples (like me in real life!!! XD)

Summary: A very kind and laid-back wolf, but when the time calls it, he can be very maniacal. He seems to have a sort of loathing towards Julien, and is frequently seen coming up with a plan of getting rid of him. Aside from that, he is known to be very goofy, and wanting to be a good friend. When he's serious, he's as much of a soldier as the penguins are. Lastly, his preferred activities or items seem to change depending on his mood. An example is music, whereas when he's calm, he likes to listen to classical, and when he's furious, he likes to listen to heavy metal.

O.C. 3

Name: Josh

Gender: Male

Animal: Wolf

Fur color: Light brown

Distinguishing features: Stands upright when humans aren't present, snobby and obnoxious, even more so towards Maverick, looks for moments to make Maverick squirm.

Alright, intros done? Alright, on with the story!!!!

(Midnight)

"Team, form up!!!"

The penguins and Maverick line up in front of Skipper from the orders. Sure, Maverick wasn't a penguin, but he sometimes liked to humor them. "Alright team, let's see what we can do for tonight. The exercises today are for stealth and espionage. What we will do is have one troop try and sneak around the rest of us to the designated point. This will determine our skills at both sneaking and spotting. With that outta the way, who will be the spy?" Before anyone could say anything, Maverick quickly rose his paw. "I will!!" He said. "Good, good, whatever. Just get to the front gate and head back to the headquarters. Got it?" Skipper asked. Maverick nodded and went to the gate. "Are you in position?!" Skipper yelled. He heard a bark in return, and considered it a yes. "Alright team, go in 3..2..1..NOW!!!" At that, the four penguins break off into different directions, looking for the wolf.

(With Maverick)

Maverick chuckled to himself as he looked over the wall to see Private walking around, looking for him. Private came closer and closer to Maverick's position. "Warmer.." Maverick thought with a bit of mischieviousness. Private continued to head towards his direction. "Warmer..." He thought with a snicker. Private was now just inches away from turning the corner. Just as soon as he turned, however, Maverick was gone. If Private were to have looked harder, he would have probably noticed that Maverick swiftly slid along the top of the wall and landed behind him. He didn't, however, as he continued on to his merry way. "So close!!" Maverick thought as it was getting harder to hold his laugh. As soon as Private left the area, Maverick 'literally' began rolling on the floor laughing.

"I thought I heard something over here."

Maverick immediately froze as he heard the voices. Quickly, he jumped in the window just above him. Seconds later, Kowalski and Rico were seen walking towards the area he was in. Kowalski steered his head around, confused by the absence of the source of the noise. He then looked at Rico. "I swear, Rico, I heard wild laughing around here. And it sounded a lot like Maverick." Rico looked at him confusedly as he did sipping motions, and then shook his head in a sort of disapproving manner. "Yes, I suppose you're right. I should stop drinking Private's love smoothies. They're starting to get to me." Kowalslki said as he put his flipper to his head. The two then began to walk off as Maverick jumped back out. "Man, gotta stay focused!!", Maverick berated himself. "I can't afford to lose concentration. Gotta stay focused! Gotta stay focused! Gotta stay fo-ooooh, look, they have a sale on apples!!-D'OH!!! Focused, man!!!" Shaking his head, they went to the direction of the finish point.

(note: The finish point is at the same place as the flag from the episode, 'Penguiner take all')

He then began to sneak passed the penguins to the final point. He was happy that he was getting ready to win, but he was still a bit unsettled as to the absence of the penguin leader. He was just a few steps away, when....

"Maaaaaaverick....."

He suddenly heard a feminine voice, and turned over to see what was, to him, the most beautiful sight in existence. What he saw was a sort of flying apple with wings and a halo on the other side of the wall. "I am the ultimate angel apple. I have been searching for the perfect consumer. I finally decided I want you to eat me."

With no self-control, Maverick suddenly leaped towards the apple, only to have it suddenly jerk up and have him land on the ground. He turned around to see that the 'magical' apple was not actually magic at all, but was suspended in mid air by an almost invisible string. Said string was attached to a fishing rod, and said rod was held by a penguing with a sinister grin. Right beside him was an otter with a microphone, holding her mouth, trying to contain her laughter. After a few seconds of thinking, Maverick finally figured out what was going on.....

The prankster had been pranked.

"Nice try, troop. But so close, yet so far." Skipper said with the same grin on his face. Maverick held his head in pure frustration. "Dang my short attention-span!!!" He sighed, and sat up. "Alright, Skipper, you wi--" Just as he was saying this, however, they began hearing a sort of silent, yet very high-pitched noise. So much that Maverick had to lower and cover his ears. The trio looked up and saw what was considered an impossibility by some, and real by others....

Two smoking alien ships...

Both of which were heading right for them.

Quickly, the three sprinted out of the way, as the ships crashed into the ground. Slowly, they looked over the wall to see that the ships, were indeed, alien. Maverick, being the idiotic prankster he is, jumped over the wall and slowly walked towards the ship. Marlene looked worried and Skipper slapped his fin to his face. He came across the first one. To him, it looked more pink than the one that was also pink, but to a lesser extent. Curious, he began knocking on the metal of the ship, looking for a reaction. Suddenly, a part of the ship shot off in a trail of smoke, enough for him to stumble back from startlement. Out of the hole from the object, a figure suddenly came out. As soon as the smoke cleared, he saw a green figure with huge red eyes, antennae, a sort of alien red skirt, and a sort of friendly demeanor. The figure suddenly looked at him as he flinched in surprised. Slowly, he got up, and walked towards the alien. As soon as he was close enough, he smiled slightly, and held out his hand. "Hi," He said. The creature looked at him weirdly, as if not understanding him. He looked a bit confused himself from her confused look. He turned back to Skipper and Marlene, both of whom shrugged. "Uh, can you understand me?" He asked. The green figure continued to look at him in a weird manner. "I'll take that as a 'no'." Maverick thought to himself.

The green figure suddenly got into a thinking pose, and within a few seconds, she jumped back in the ship, and came back out with a sort of computer chip. "What's that?" Maverick asked, forgetting momentarily that she didn't understand him. Suddenly, she grabbed his maw, and forced the chip down his throat, making him swallow it. Skipper suddenly jumped out in a sort of attacking position as Maverick hunched over, coughing from the force. After a few moments, Maverick heard something. "Hi." He looked up to see the alien smiling and waving at him. "Uh, hi." He said. At that, she jumped up in glee. "Yes!! The chip works!! I am SOO going to rub this in the counselor's faces." She said to herself. She then looked at him as he had sort of a confused look. "Oh, uh, you see, that chip you swallowed allows species of different origin, tradition, etc. to understand eachother." She said. Maverick looked at her slightly annoyed. "Yeah, but could you have made motions, allowing me to know that you're supposed to swallow them?"

The alien looked at him with sort of an apologetic look on her face. "Yeah, sorry." She then straightened up. "Anyway, nice to meet you. My name is Dana." Maverick looked at her for a moment before holding his hand out. She looked at him questionably before Maverick could comprehend that she didn't know what a handshake was. "What are you doing?" Maverick looked at her for a few seconds. "Uh, you're supposed to shake my hand. It's a form of greeting." Slowly, Dand used two fingers to sort of grab Maverick's hand and shake it softly. Maverick shook his head in amusement at her not knowing how to do it. "Uh, is that it?" She asked. "Yeah yeah, sure." Maverick suddenly perked up, and then looked at her with a questionable glance. "Uh, not trying to be rude, but what are you going here?" Suddenly remembering her purpose, she looked around for a bit. "I'm looking for someone, actually. He came here, I think, and i'm trying to find him."

"Really? Who?"

Suddenly, a piece from the other ship popped off, once again startling Maverick. Out of the hole came two figures: One being an alien of the same species as Zim, and the other being a small robot. As soon as Dana saw the other alien, her eyes suddenly sparkled as the other alien coughed a bit. "Gir, use your cranium navigation system to see where we are." The alien ordered. The robot slung its head around lazilly with a crazy smile. "I tink we're on earth again, Masta!!" The robot said. The alien sighed. "Earth, not agai-AUGH!!" He was suddenly tackled by Dana. "Zimmeh!!! Oh, you don't know how happy I am that I found you!!" She squealed in glee. The alien, now known as 'Zim', however, appeared to be less comfortable as it showed his face turning blue. "Dana...hug...too tight..." She suddenly let go as he dropped to the ground. "Oops, my bad Zim." She said with her tongue sticking out. Zim groaned as he sat up. "Uh, hello?" Both looked back at Maverick. "What's going on?!" Before either alien could answer, they heard a voice behind the wall.

"Ugh, what is with all of the crashing and booming!! The only booming should be coming from my box of boomingness!!!" Both aliens looked confused, but Maverick had a look of pure irritation on his face as he slapped his paw on his face. "Craaaaaaap."
