Chapter 1: the new girl

Rico's pov (is not called this in beginning!)

Hello I may not be able to tell you much about myself, but this is what you can know. I am Rose, a girl penguin with baby blue eyes. My feathers are pulled down in front of my face, and I wear a blue bow to keep it up. I have small eyelashes, and my beak is black instead of the normal orange. I am into explosions, loud music, and I have a certain psychotic status. My family is of no concern of you, and my friends aren't ether. I am currently being transported to Central Park Zoo in Manhattan, NY.

I was roaming Antarctica when these men in white suits picked me up, and put me in this box. I currently am still in the box, but I overheard the humans say that we were only 30 minutes away from destination. These new animals better not try anything. I hear the box dropping so I have to close up…

I open my eyes to the failing light, and look around. I am in a enclosed habitat. I look to the outside of the black fence. There are other enclosed habitats around this one. I look into the one I am currently in. It is a small ice island in the middle of water. There is also a fishbowl in the corner. There isn't many animals in this enclosure as there is no one around. Then I hear a grating sound. I look to the fishbowl, and it slides over.

Then a flat-headed penguin comes out of the hole. "Look what we have here!" the penguin said. Then two others came up as well. One was tall, and the other one was small. "Uh skipper I think this one's a girl" the tall one said to the flat-headed one. "Oh great we don't need a girl in this unit" he said quite annoyed. I probably guess I'm not welcome here. I get up, and start heading the black fencing so I can get out of here.

Suddenly I feel myself being pulled down by someone. "Where are you going?" the voice said behind me. "I'm going home!" I said as I tried to get out of the penguin's grasp. "Why?" I could tell the tall one asked. "I'm not spending a day anywhere I'm not wanted!" I said angrily, and finally climbed over the fence. "But who said you weren't welcome?" the tall one asked from behind the bars. "I can tell by someone's voice!" I said as I quickly ran away from the habitat.

I ran away and right into someone. I got up from lying on the person, and looked over them. It was a tall gray lemur with a crown. He opened his eyes, and looked at me. Then he pulled a grin, and said- "well hello beautiful!".


A: so what do you think? I know this doesn't make much sense yet, but it will toward the end. The penguins lost a girl already, and Julian's already hitting on her! What a day huh?

Ms. Perky: hi I'm Alva's friend, and please review! Say hi to Rico and me everyone! ;)
