Chapter 1: The New Penguin
The penguins were having a card game when Marlene popped into their HQ. "Hi guys!" she greeted suddenly. Rico instinctively hacked up a bazooka and took his aim. When he was realized it was Marlene he gave a sigh and swallowed his bazooka.
"Marlene, ever heard of knocking?" asked Skipper annoyed. "I never hear you knocking either." Marlene shot back. "So what brings you hear?" asked Skipper. "I heard the zoo is getting a new member!" said Marlene excitedly. "So?" asked Skipper. 'It's a penguin! You guys are getting a new roommate!" she replied bubbly.
"What?" asked Skipper shocked. "The transfer is arriving tomorrow." replied Marlene confused. "The spy is coming tomorrow?" asked Skipper loudly. "You think everyone who arrives to this zoo is a spy." said Marlene. "What about Rhonda?" asked Skipper. "That's different. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys." said Marlene. She then exited the habitat.
"Kowalski analysis!" commanded Skipper. The penguins were in Alice's office looking through the transfer information. "It appears our transfer is from Asahiyama Zoo in Tokyo and also was in an aquarium in Paris. Or, that's at least what I think these mean." said Kowalski uncertainly. "Anything else?" asked Skipper. Kowalski squinted at the computer screen again. "No." he replied. "Ham steaks! How will we get intel on the spy?" said Skipper.
"Skippah don't let all the paranoia go to your head, he might be friendly." said Private. Kowalski joined in, "He's right. We'll never know if the transfer is a spy or not until tomorrow." "Fine." admitted Skipper. He glanced at the clock. "Well it's 2200 hours. Report back to HQ for lights out."
As the penguins lay asleep in their bunks, Skipper lay wide awake. "I have to be prepared." he whispered to himself and got out of his bunk.
The penguins are in a deep sleep. It is 700 hours in the am. Only one bunk lays vacant. Suddenly, an alarm starts blaring causing Kowalski, Rico, Private to roll out of their bunks and fell on each other.
"Warning! Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" the alarm blared. The three avians quickly scaled the metallic ladder and landed on the ice flow in a battle position. They were suddenly attacked by a volley of tennis balls. The trio feely tried to block the tennis balls until the tennis ball stooped. Skipper was standing next a tennis ball machine with a disappointed look on his face.
"Come on, men, what would happen if the spy arrived and you let your guard down?" asked Skipper scornfully. Kowalski got up from the floor rubbing a bruise a tennis ball left and said, "I said this yesterday, the probability for the transfer to be a spy for Blowhole are highly unlikely." "Never let your guard down Kowalski." replied Skipper. Suddenly, a crate dropped into the habitat causing Skipper to jump back surprised.
"Now you five get along." said Alice and she left the habitat. "Hello?" asked a muffled voice in the crate. "Can someone let me out of here?" "Rico crowbar!" commanded Skipper. Rico automatically hacked up a crow bar and Skipper caught it in mid-air and pried open the crate. The team's eyes widened in shock. Their transfer was a girl. She was about Rico's height with mischievous violet eyes. She had a cello case strapped to her back. yes. She had a bunch of feathers tied behind her head that slightly trailed down her back
"Um, hi." said the new penguin. "Who are you?" asked Skipper suspiciously. "I'm Amelia but you can call me Amy." said Amy with the faintest French accent. "And who are you?" she asked. "That's classified." replied Skipper. "I'm Private that's Skipper, Rico, and Kowalski." introduced Private. Skipper slapped Private upside the head. "It's like you think I'm a spy or something." Amy joked. "We used to. Now we see you're no threat." said Skipper. "Wait, how come I'm no longer a threat." asked Amy curiously. "Because you're a girl." replied Skipper acting like it was obvious. He was tackled and pinned by Amy shortly after he said this. "What did you say?" asked Amy angrily. Skipper pushed her off and the two got in fighting stances. Kowalski intervened. "No need to fight. Why don't I show you around the zoo?" he offered nervously. He was tugging Amy away from Skipper by her flipper. "I'm watching you spy." said Skipper. As soon as Amy walked off with Kowalski, Skipper turned to Private and said, "Keep an eye on her."
