Chapter 1: emo Kowalski
Skipper's pov
I can't help, but feel like something is different with my team. I just don't know what. Private's still the cute little naive penguin he is. He still loves lunacorns. Rico still loves dynamite and explosions. He still can't talk. Kowalski still loves science, and won't quit talking about it. Is it possible there's something wrong with me? I look across the room to see rico brushing his doll's hair. Then I look to my left, and see private watching TV. Why is it so different that it bugs me?
I get up, and decide to see if Kowalski might know, or want to test it out. I open the lab door, and see Kowalski working with a green and pink tube. I wonder what he's doing now. "Kowalski didn't I make it clear no explosions till 600 hours" I asked while raising my eyebrow. He seems to jump at my voice. "Skipper I didn't expect you to be in here" Kowalski said hurriedly while hiding the chemicals behind his back.
Kowalski's pov [during same time]
I was working on my new idea. I was going to cure cancer diseases. They were going to call me a hero. I was going to have my name in lights, and maybe even my secret dream. Still I can't help but feel something's different. But that can't be, rico's still the same, private's still the same, and skipper he seems to be fine. Is it just me? Am I doing something wrong? I heard my door slightly open.
Then I heard Skipper say: "Kowalski didn't I make it clear no explosions till 600 hours". To which I replied: "Skipper I didn't expect you to be in here" while I hid my experiment behind my back. "Clearly you didn't" he said angrily.
Skipper's pov
I knew something was wrong. I came over to Kowalski, and gave him an angry stare, while showing him I was disappointed. I don't know why, but something told me I wasn't thinking right. Kowalski showed a very sad face. His beak came down in a clear frown, and his eyes were very soft. I took the chemicals from him, and patted his back. "I'll give them back at 600 hours" I said as I went out the door. Something in my gut said to turn back, but I didn't: I do not want to see his face.
Kowalski's pov
I was right. Something is very wrong with me. I haven't been following skipper's directions. Like last week.
"Kowalski what have you done" skipper yelled angrily. "All I did was transfuse those wires" I yelled back as tears ran down my eyes. "I told you not to fix that toaster" skipper yelled showing clear anger. "But-but" I said as sadness overtook my voice. "No but's, I told you a direct order, and you disobeyed" skipper said while staring into my eyes. "You aren't good for following rules are you" he asked…
I don't clearly remember what happened after that since it was a blur from my sadness. I tried to fix that toaster, but I made it worse with everyone. Skipper's right I'm not good for rules. So I guess I'm just going to have to break them.
I get out the fish door entrance, and head toward town. I pick up a new outfit, and head to the dressing room. I put on my white tank top, and black leather jacket. I put on black sunglasses, and buy a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. I exit the store, and pull out a cigar and the lighter. I stick the cigar in my beak, and lit it. "So long world a new Kowalski's in town" Kowalski said.
Skipper's pov
I still feel like I should have said something to Kowalski. It feels like he might do something wrong. Then I hear the door open. It was night so rico and private were asleep. Why hasn't Kowalski came out yet? I look to the open door expecting Marlene or even Julian, but instead was Kowalski wearing a black jacket, and black sunglasses.
"Kowalski what the hell happened" I yelled upon seeing him. He put his flipper to my face, and said: "take to the flipper Skippy". "What did you call me" I asked. "Skippy flat-head, I decided I can't follow rules I'll just break them" he said while taking off his sunglasses. "But you can't not follow rules" I said disregarding his theory. "Sure I can, nothing says I can't" Kowalski said back. "The rules do" I replied. "Well that's probably why then" he said while a smirk rose on his beak.
Kowalski's pov
Skipper can't tell me what to do anymore. I go by my own rules now. I went back towards the entrance. "Where are you going" Skipper asked from behind me. "To live my life on the line, later chump" I said as I climbed the ladder to sweet freedom. Goodbye old life, hello city lights.
