Hey, everyone! It's Panda. :) Well, like I said in my profile, lovingSkipper is helping me with grammar (everywhere I go, everything I do, she is correcting my grammar. Annoying!). So, here is my story! :)

It was a beautiful spring day in New York Central. Flowers blooming, children running and playing, sun beating down. It was wondrous.

The penguins were sitting on their lawn chairs, resting and relaxing for once. They had been on many missions and didn't get many days like this.

As this day was dragging on, about noon-ish Private saw something from the corner of his eye. It was another crate being put into their habitat. None of the other boys noticed this, as Private was slowly getting up from his chair, making sure not to disturb any of the others. As Private curiously stared, a flipper gently landed on his shoulder. It was Skipper.

"Well, well, well. Looks like Alice has brought us an early visitor," Skipper said.

"Well... I guess that's the new girl, I thought she wasn't supposed to come until Thursday? Its Tuesday," Private quietly said.

"I guess she came early," Skipper turned his head to the other men still in their seats. "Come on boys. Let's go see if this new visitor is a spy."

Rico and Kowalski jumped up from the lawn chairs at the sound of their leaders call and waddled lazily over to where Skipper and Private where standing. The new penguin was in sight, but still in her crate. Alice opened something up for once.

The new penguin was a female, about the same height as Skipper, with beautiful feathers that somewhat tinted red glowing in the spring sunshine, and magnificent deep blue eyes stared at Private for a while examining him. Then the female eyes moved to Skipper, then to Rico, then to Kowalski, and back to Private. Her eyes lingered on him for a while before stepping out of the crate.

"Hello," she said shyly, keeping her head somewhat down and her eyes at the ground in front of the penguins.

"Why hello there," Kowalski said while elbowing Rico and glancing towards him.

"Uh. Hi," said Rico oddly.

"I'm Skipper, very nice to meet you, and your name is?" Skipper said proudly but still with caution.

"Abbey..." The penguin said flirtatious, still having her eyes laid upon Private.

"M-My-M-My... name is Private," stuttered Private as he was blushing.

"So we'll show you around I guess," spoke Kowalski.

As they where showing Abbey her bunk, right above Rico and below Private.

After that was done, Abbey said, "Anyone care to show me around the zoo?"

All the boys stared at Private, because it was pretty obvious that Private had a little crush on the new girl. So, Kowalski volunteered Private. Private took the job to show her, because he wanted to be the one to do it anyways.

"Come along," Private said as he walked ahead of Abbey.

Abbey immediately caught up with Private, so they where side by side.

"Well that's where the chimps are. That's Phil, and the other one's Mason," Private's flipper flung in the direction of the chimpanzee's habitat.

Abbey smiled at them, as Phil and Mason smiled back.

"Well would you like to go meet my friend Marlene?" Private said as he looked at Abbey.

"Sure," Abbey said quietly. It seemed she was a very shy person.

As they walked, Private said hello to Mort who was just wondering around. But then Private and Abbey finally reached the otter habitat. They saw Marlene enjoying the spring sun. Private shouted, "Marlene!"

She jumped and ran towards Private. "Oh, hi Private! Who's your new friend?" Marlene asked.

"I'm Abbey," Abbey said as she looked at the otter.

"Well nice to meet you Abbey, well I got to go back to soaking up the sun. Good-bye Private, and again nice to meet you Abbey."

Abbey and Private both grinned at Marlene as they walked away. For practically the whole other part of the day, Private was spending his time with Abbey. Then by the time they got back it was time for them to get some rest.

"Well get to bed boys. And girl," said Skipper awkwardly.

Everyone got into their bunks and fell asleep right away. Then Private heard mumbling from Abbey's bunk. Private got up quietly and popped his head up by Abbey's bunk. Abbey's head spiraled towards Private's, their beaks not even a inch away. Abbey laid her flipper on Private's flipper. Abbey's heart pounded as did Private's. Private was scared that she might be able to hear it. He's never felt this way about a girl before. It was... different.

"Good-night Private. Thank you for the tour around today. I appreciate it," Abbey said as she laid a soft kiss on Private's cheek, and put her head back on the pillow and shut her eyes.

"Good night, and sweet dreams Abbey, glad to have you here." Private said his voice shaky.

But at that moment Skipper awoke up from his sleep and saw what had happened, he thought to himself, Private's only going to get hurt from this crush if it continues. He's too young for this. He rolled his eyes and went back to sleep.

Private had went back to his cozy bed, amazed of what just happened.

Soo, how'd you like it? Sorry it's short, I couldn't think of anything else. :/
