Marlene watched Skipper kiss Millie goodnight. She ripped the paper heart card she was making for him. When was he going to realize that she had feelings too? And how exactly she would express those feelings was out of the questions…

Then she heard a knock at her door. She opened it to find her sister.

"Ella! Oh, come in!"

Kowalski flicked his pencil around the table. He was busy making a Valentine's Day card for Kelsa, but couldn't find any words that expressed his feelings without being too mushy.

He watched as Millie slid into her bunk. Then he got the perfect idea. He scribbled it down on the piece of paper.

Rico was moping. He had been moping a lot lately. Moping about what, exactly?

Lola, his otter girlfriend had to go back to her own zoo. Now he had no girlfriend/lady friend/doll/crush to hold. He closed his eyes. Then an idea came to him.

He would make her a card. Then he would send it to her! It was genius! The only problem?

Rico couldn't write.

***

Kowalski finished his card. He folded it rather lopsided and tucked it under his pillow. He couldn't help smiling. Valentine's Day was next week, and he couldn't wait to see the look on Kelsa's face when she read it.

"Well?" asked Kowalski to Marlene. "Do you think she'll like it?"

"It seems a bit… how bout you just write, roses are red, daisies are white, I love you, that sort of thing. It isn't poetic enough."

Kowalski frowned and snatched back the paper. "I know she'll like it."

Marlene shrugged. "If you don't want to hear honesty, don't ask for people's honest opinion!"

Kowalski left her habitat.

Meanwhile, Ella studied the penguins relationships. She, being a trickster, couldn't help making a couple of letters herself…

"Signed, Skipper." she giggled, finishing writing the card. And she slipped it into Millie's mailbox.

***

What did the letter say? Will Rico solve his dilemma?

All will be revealed in the next chapter!
