No Name's POV
The sky was dark, sun has drowned into somewhere, light was no longer here to brighten up my world. Coldness spread as night spawn, the snowy strong winds blew stronger, I shivered as it went through me. I may have feathers but they weren't thick, I looked around for shelter, nothing came in my sight. I sighed and kept waddling, the steep snow buried my feet, the cold send into my body.
Until a dim light showed up behind the hill, I waddled faster, a big building was the source of the light that I've been searching for. I walked to it closer, a sign wrote something, I tried to read it,
"An-imal sehlter?"
Animal shelter?, I walked to the door and looked at it, suddenly the door swung opened. I startled, a human noticed and look down at me, he looked inside and yelled,
"Hey! I found a baby penguin here!"
Another voice replied, "That's great! Bring it inside!"
He knelt down and picked me up, he stroked me up, "It's okay, let's get you to somewhere warm", he brought me inside and closed the door.
I kept quiet as he brought me to a room, I snuggled into him to get myself warmer, Maybe I'll just have some rest...
Next day came..
I woke up in some fabric, I woke up and stood up, I was standing on a fabric made out bed. I walk and look around, the same guy came bringing me small fishes in a bucket. He pours it into the bowl next to me,
"Eat up, I'll come back later"
I ate the fish as much as I want, there's still few more fishes but I wasn't be able to finish them. The same guy walked while bringing a cage and places it on the table. He looks at me and notices the unfinished bowl,
"Well little fella, you're going to meet new friends soon"
I look at him in confusion,
"In a week you'll be sended to a zoo, there's a lot of animals there"
Zoo? What's a zoo?, he took out the bowl, he pats me and left with the bowl.
I guess I'll just see what is this place and what will happen.
A week passed..
I stood, it has been a week I'm at this animal shelter so called, I was still waiting to see the Zoo place, what is a Zoo for real?. A man in white gloves and coat came towards me, he did some check ups then suddenly he put me in a cage. I shook the cage, why are they doing this? Why did he locked me up? He carried my cage to outside, he came to a place where there's boxes and animals in cage. I looked and observed what were they doing, a snake wrapped itself on the stick, the workers put in the snake into a box labeled, SHIP OFF TO: CHINA. Then realized, maybe they are sending these animals to the zoo, one of the worker took me out of the cage and put me in a hay covered floor box. Labeled, SHIP OFF TO: U.S.A. He closed the door shut, the box was dark the only source of lights and oxygen are the small hole they made. I sighed, I guess this is my journey to United State Zoo.
Shipped off..
It has been like few weeks I'm in this box, I kind of starve myself, they feed the animals with less amount of food. I leaned against the wall of the box, when am I going to get out of here? I yelped as my box suddenly jumped, I heard human voices,
"This is the animals that shipped to Central Park Zoo?"
"Yes, it's confirmed"
"Okay then"
I felt my box being lifted, I looked through the hole, seeing a car shaped machine, I was placed down. I heard the engine being started and suddenly it moved, Maybe I'm close to the zoo.., it has been 15 minutes then the car stopped. The red headed woman driver walked away, something lifted box and put me on the stone ground, Now how do I get out of here?
I looked through the hole, I saw dividers and animals, This is the zoo!, I heard light footsteps,
"There's a new animal get ship off here!", a rather small voice spoke in British accent.
A voice replied back in gibberish which got me to confusion, "Steady boys, we don't know what's inside. Rico!"
I heard a barfing sound then a metal clanking, Did he just barfed metal?, I screamed as my box got turn over. The noises stopped,
"I think it's a female animal inside", a curious voice said.
"Anybody out there?!"
I heard a creaking sound and all of sudden the door of the box fell opened, I froze. I turned around slowly, 4 penguins stood there in shock,
"Uh...hi?"
I stepped out of the box causing them to walk backwards slightly,
He gasps, "A baby penguin! New family, yay!", the shortest penguin with British accent clapped with his flippins.
A rather short penguin with flat head slapped him, I gasped causing them to look at me,
"You just slap him like that?"
He glared at me, "Who are you?"
"I'm..a penguin?"
"State your name"
"I don't have any name"
"Awww!", the tallest, shortest and mohawk penguin said in unison.
"Don't get unresistable by her cuteness! She could be a spy...", he narrowed his eyes.
"Aw, Skipper can I at least give her a name?", the shortest penguin smiled.
"Negative, soldier!"
He pouted, the flat head penguin looked at me, "Now..we shall run you to a few test.."
"Is this a place known as zoo?"
"Uh..technically it's a yes", the tallest penguin replied.
"Oh.."
"Grab her, boys"
The mohawk and tallest penguin grabbed my flippins, the shortest one lead me forward,
"Let me go! Where are you taking me?!"
"To our habitat, little fella", the shortest penguin patted my head, I shook my head,
"Why won't you tell me your name?"
"Classified, kid", the flat head replied without even looking.
"What makes it so classified?! If you're hiding then you must be the spy agent!"
All of them stopped and so did I, "That actually make a point, sir", the tallest penguin said to the flat head penguin.
The flathead penguin turned to me, "We spy for the good, not for the bad. If you keep complaining then we'll leave you here for your own good!"
I felt for the first time my heart broke, "Don't be too hard on her sir, she's still a child", the tallest penguin whispered.
I grabbed my flippin away from the mohawk penguin, "Fine! If you hate me so much then leave me alone and die!", I stomped off, I never felt this feeling before in my whole life.
Skipper's POV
Okay, maybe I did went a little too hard..
"Get her", I ordered.
My comrades nodded and slide away, the kid wasn't fast enough they already catch her,
"LET ME GO! I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE WITH YOU!"
"Be reasonable, little fella, you can't go into the big world all alone", Private frowned.
She shook her head, "I rather that"
"Come on, we promise he won't hurt you", Kowalski took one of her flippins,
"No!"
I sighed and walked to her, "What do you want?", she crossed her flippins and looked away.
"Look kid, I apologize kay?"
"You don't seem sincere about apologizing"
"What else you want me to do then?!"
"How about...by telling me your names"
"Aha! I knew it! It's all your plan right?! You will act like this then by that you ask to know our names!"
She looked at me with a 'Are you seriously dumb?' meaning face, "What? I got that wrong?"
She rolled her eyes, "Fine I'll forgive you"
"Good, bring her to the habitat, boys!"
No Name's POV
They brought me to a watery habitat, the shortest and mohawk penguin got in pass through the divider first, the tallest penguin threw me over the fence, I landed on both of them.
"Oops, sorry", I got off them and stood up.
The other two jumped in, "Alright, we'll be going with the test"
I blinked, "Okay..what kind of test? First I'm telling you, I'm from Antartica, I have no names and I recently got transported here."
"You seriously have no name?", the shortest penguin frowned.
I nodded, "Yes, I am serious"
"Tell me your abilities, kid", the flat headed penguin crossed his flippins.
"Uh let's see…I can read.., I can sing…., I can…uhh..I'm not sure but that's the few stuff I could do"
"You can read?", the tallest penguin eyes widened.
"Um yeah", I shrugged.
All of four of them suddenly huddle up, they whisper to some random stuff for a few minutes and then turn to me. The flat head penguin spoke,
"Alright kid, we made a decision, welcome to the family"
The other three smiled and nod, I smiled back, "Thank you, may I know your names?"
"My name's Private!", the shortest penguin introduced.
"I'm Kowalski", the tallest penguin introduce aswell.
The mohawk penguin spoke something gibberish, I look at the others in confusion, "Uh wha-what?", I blinked.
"He said, I'm Rico", Kowalski translated.
"Oh okay.."
"And you call me Skipper, kid"
"Finally you introduce yourself and stop calling me kid, I may be a baby penguin but..I don't like being called kid"
They just raised their nonexistent eyebrows, "I know! Let's name you…", Private thinks for a while.
"Alice?", Kowalski suggested to Private.
"What do you think of that?", he asked back to me.
"Uhm..nice..but I don't really like it"
"Not when the zookeeper name is Alice aswell", Skipper shook his head.
"Okay how about..Carol?", Kowalski suggested again.
"Perhaps..no.."
"Charlotte?", Skipper suggested.
"Not really suits for her..", Kowalski rubbed his beak.
"Erica?", Rico suggested.
"Alexandra?", Private smiles.
"No, not something that has related to the lion", Skipper crossed his arms.
"Why? Does Alexandra sounds bad?", I raised my left nonexistent eyebrow.
"Do you like it?", asked Private.
"Sure, it's not that bad"
"Well…I suppose we're not going to stand here for an hour for a name..so alright! Your name is Alexandra for short Alex", Kowalski agreed.
"Or Xandra", Skipper cuts in.
"Alright it's settled then, the zoo will be reopening in 2 hours 27 minutes..shall we give her a tour?", Kowalski smiled at Skipper.
"Alright then, Private go give her a tour around the zoo"
Private cheers happily, "Come on, let's give you a tour around the Central Park Zoo!"
I smiles, "Okay, but..how do I get out of here?"
"Oh..right I didn't realize about that..", Skipper stares at the ground.
"How did you guys jump? I mean..it's like..I don't know what to say"
"How about you try it kid?"
I roll my eyes as he called me kid again, "Whatever..", I got ready in my stances, then I pushed myself with the force I had, luckily I passed through the fence! Unfortunately, I landed on the ground on myself,
"Ouch that hurts, better work on my landing next time", I muffled.
"Nice jumping kid, except yeah you gotta work on your landing", said Skipper.
I stood up, Private then jumps and pass through fence, landing next to me perfectly.
"Cool", I smiled.
"You'll get the perfect landing too soon, alright…", he looks around the zoo, "Where shall we start?"
"Uh I don't know..what animals you got here?"
"Well there's elephant, kangaroo, an Asian otter, monkeys, baboons, lemurs, insects of many kind-"
"Are there any females in this zoo?"
"Why yes, there's Marlene the otter and the baboons..they aren't friendly though"
"Oh..why don't we start with the otter?", I suggested.
"Off we go then!"
-Yay! Done chap one! Still, about the characters personality I'm afraid I might didn't go exactly like the show/movie, I got confused between the two show and movie because their personality and way of talking was slightly different than I thought. I'm sorry if I didn't get the right personality of each characters by the way, thank you so much if you have started reading the first chappie. ^.^
