Marlene ran the duster across the green and yellow teapot in her home, she had learned that and otter would be staying in her home, before being released back into the wild. Even though Skipper wasn't there to fill her mind with Paranoid thoughts, she was nervous due to her last roommate. In fact Skipper wouldn't be back for another day or two, he said they were going on vacation, but Private spilled the beans about finalizing a divorce.
She was going to have to take this one on her own, and if they tried anything funny, she could use the moves Skipper taught her. Marlene turned around to see a large pile of empty Sardine boxes, little by little she gathered large sums in her arms. It wasn't till she slipped on an actual sardine did she topple over.
The smell of fish rushed past her as dozen of boxes pinned her to the floor. She let out a sigh and started struggling to get free from the metal tins.
"Goodness be! Are you alright?" A masculine strange voice asked, Marlene looked up to see a dark furred male otter rushing over to her, he began shoving aside boxed to free Marlene.
"I'm fine, a few sardine cases aren't going to bring me down." Marlene insisted as she was yanked upward, she came face to face with a pair of stunning green eyes. She starred deeply for a moment, completely captivated by him. He smiled down at her and brought her paw to his lips, and kissed it sweetly.
"I'm Soucro (S-ow-crow)." He introduced himself charmingly. Marlene smiled and slowly pulled back her hand. She opened her mouth to speak, but found that her name escaped her mind. Soucro blinked several times at her, a content smile rested upon his lips.
"Marlene," She instantly remembered, " I'm Marlene." She said with a grin, again staring into his beautiful green eyes. Forgetting upon first glance what was going on, actually she forget everything as she looked into those perfect green emeralds. How could he be a spy?
NEXT DAY
Marlene woke in a daze, Soucro was already awake and at the table, he smiled as he saw her. Marlene rubbed her eyes and sat next to him. They in late last night when Soucro asked Marlene to join him of a moon lit walk, which she happily accepted.
Unexpectedly ending with Soucro giving her a shy kiss on the cheek. Soucro had kissed her again right before she fell asleep, he leaned over and dazed her forehead with a sweet gentle blissful gesture, and Marlene fell asleep with ease immediately after.
The sewer gates flew upward, and Marlene turned around to face four ready-for-action penguins. Marlene was at first happy than all together filled with worry. Would they accept Soucro or go all paranoid like always. Would they accept Soucro and her?
"Calm yourself Marlene, we heard a new 'visitor' was staying here, and we rushed back as quick as we could." Skipper explained as he came out of his fighting stance. As soon as Skipper's eyes fell on Soucro he knew instantly who he was, down to the day he was born.
" Sweet molasses! Soucro?" Skipper yelled, Soucro took a closer look at the shorted penguin, and his mind filled with many memories.
"Goodness be, Skipper?" Soucro exclaimed as he rushed from his chair over toward the military leader. Marlene stared in confusion at the two animals, both were close to her heart, yet at this current moment she felt like she didn't know either of them.
"What are you doing up here?" Skipper questioned with a tone of enthusiasm. Even the other three penguins were oblivious to what was going on.
"Otter habitat is depleting, and I've been switching zoo's until I'm released back into the wild. Lucky I get to stay with Marlene, lovely lass." He smiled as he made his wave over to her, kissing her cheek once more. Marlene blushed and stared back at the slightly disturbed group of penguins, as they sank back into the sewer out of Sight. The last thing visible were Skipper's ocean blue eyes filled with both confusion and worry. Than Marlene realizes Soucro isn't Skipper.
