A Small Problem Chapter 1
"Eureka! It's finally finished!" Kowalski shouted. He had been working on his shrink ray for weeks now, "How do we know for sure it's safe?" Skipper asked, Kowalski just rolled his eyes "Oh relax Skipper, I was just about to give it a test run." Then, that's when 3 out of four of the penguins all stared at Private. Private knew once he saw that look in their eyes, there was no turning back. The youngest penguin stood in front of the gun-like machine, quivering with both, fear and excitment. Kowalski fired his newest invention, but as soon as it was about to hit Private, the little penguin ducked in fear, the beam reflected off a nearby mirror and zapped their leader instead. In a puff of smoke, it seemed Skipper had vanished! "Skippah? Skippah where are you?" Private called. The team galnced in all directions, searching for their beloved leader. The remaing rookery was about to give up, that is until they heard a small, angry voice "Wait, a second," Kowalski said, the tall penguin grabbed his magnifying glass and carefully examined the area Skipper had been zapped, Kowalski's theory was right, Skipper had been shrunk down to the size of a ping pong ball! the tiny penguin jumped on Kowalski's foot, "Get me back to my regular size or I'll knock you into last week!" he threatend, "Ok Ok just calm down Skipper, you're in luck, my shrink ray has a reverse mode." Kowalski carried the small penguin over to their table, he then pulled the trigger to his machine, but oddly, nothing happend..."What's the hold up?" Skipper yelled, instead of making the "humming" sound, the machine just made strange clicking sounds just as if it were a regular gun that needed to be reloaded. "Oh this is bad, it seems my shrink ray has just shorted out on me, I'll have to make a stronger one." Kowalski said. Skipper began to run around in little circles while panicking, "What am I gonna do? how will I direct our operations? how am I gonna drink my coffee in the morning? I NEED MY COFFEE!" he screamed. Kowalski managed to th calm him down soon enough, "Don't worry Skipper, it should only take around 2 to 3 weeks, that time will fly by before you know it."
