The sun rose other the tall buildings of New York city, mother birds in the park by the city's feet were feeding their young. A stray cat ran in a meadow after a butterfly and squirrels yawned welcoming the fresh morning air. Life as we now it in the park was up and active but in the nearby zoo morning had not wakened these animals. They were all still asleep. If the snoring of two gorillas and an elephant was not there you old thank the zoo was abounded, closed .But in the middle of the zoo a penguin stood on a fake ice berg drinking coffee. He yawned as a bird flew over head. Tabbing his foot he let his team sleep another second before sticking his head in the entrances of the HQ and yelling "RISE AND SHINE!"

The smallest penguin out of the three who were sleep heard the yell loud in clear in his ear hole. Surprised he fell out of the bunk and landed on the hard floor. Getting to his feet and rubbing his head he watched his leader come down the leader.

"Morning Skippa." The young penguins smiled in a British ascent.

"You ok Private?" Skipper asked walking to the table. The small penguin nodded still rubbing his head.

Another penguin poked his head out from the third bunk. Dangling his feet over the edge he yawned then turned to Private "Your head ok?"

"Yeah Kowalski, I just feel out of my bunk" He replayed pointing to the top bunk.

Jumping to the younger penguin side he said "Let me see." Kowalski sighed raising his flippers close to where Private had his on his head.

Skipper watched as the young Private toke his flipper off his head while taking a sip of his fish coffee. The leader almost coked seeing Privates bump. It was large, red and about half the size of the little penguin's head!

Private looked up."See just fine." He said in a low voice. He didn't like the other to worry about him a lot.

"No Private your head is not fine" Kowalski said crossing his flippers. "You need to lie down."

The young penguin looked at his leader as if asking to help him get out of it. But Skipper nodded "He's right it looks bad you need to lie down."

Sighing Private climb the ladder to the top bunk and went in then laid his head on the pillow. Wow skipper rarely lets one of us take a day off. He thought as he drifted back to sleep.

Seconds latter another penguin rose from his bunk. He had a mohawk and a scar on the right side of his beck. After yawning he jump to the floor and saw Private was still in bed. He pointed.

"Yeah he isn't doing so well." Skipper said finishing his coffee.

"OHHH" Rico said and walked over to join the two others at the table.

After they had breakfast Skipper asked how bad Private's bump was.

"Hard to tell just by looking at it." Kowalski shrugged "We should wake his every hour and ask simply questions.

"Wike wat?"(Like what?)Rico asked.

"Well, what his name is, an animal in the zoo, where he is, Hi favorite candy and so on." Kowalski says as skipper watched the sleeping Private.

After a minute of silence Skipper stands up. "Ok men let go train and let Private rest."

He led Kowalski and Rico to the ladder where they climbed out to the fresh air. Before Rico climbed out, he looked at the sleeping penguin and growled lightly. He used to be the youngest of the group, He use to be the one Skipper always look out for, he wanted it back but didn't want to hurt Private. Private was like a little brother to him but still the jealousy over powered him.

"Coming Rico?" Skipper looked down at the Demolition Specialist

Rico nodded and climbed up growling at Private one more time as he pasted him.

~~~~~~~A Couple hours latter~~~~~~

The three penguins climbed into the HQ. All tried from some rough training, well almost all, Rico was all wounded up now he was jumping all other the place ready to contain.

"I'll as Private a question now." Kowalski said climbing up the ladder to the youngest penguins.

Hearing Private's name made Rico stop the jealousy toke over him once again. He watched in the black TV screen as Kowalski shock Private lightly trying to wake him up.

'Huh?" Private said turning to the older penguin.

"I'm going to ask you some simply questions every hour to make sure your bump isn't as bad as I think."The lieutenant said.

Private nods tired.

As Kowalski asked to name an animal that lives the Zoo. Skipper saw something was wrong with Rico. Holding his empty coffee cup from early he walked over to him.

"Everything ok, solider?" The commander asked

Rico nodded still watching the black TV screen. The two penguins stood in silence until Kowalski walked over to them."So far Private is doing fine."

"How long will we have to keep asking him questions?" Skipper asked.

"A day but if he gets most of them wrong two." The scientist said.

Skipper nodded and walked off fallowed by Kowalski leavening Rico and his jealousy.
