"Skipper! Skipper! Ski-"

Skipper opened a tired eye. Typical. He'd only just got to sleep and one of the team had an emergency they wanted him to deal with. The penguin who had woken him up had a scar on his face from a mission a very long time ago and his name was Rico.

"Yes, Rico?"

Rico pointed a flipper to the fish bowl entrance/exit and said, "Lady."

"Why don't you show Kowalski?"

Again Rico pointed to the hatch.

"Kowalski's up there with a lady...is it Doris?"

"No. Penguin."

"What?" Now Skipper really was awake.

"Egg."

"Lady in a egg?"

"Lady has egg."

"Has she got a mate with her? The egg's father?"

"Umm...no."

"Ah."

"She pretty."

"That's great, but why would I want to know that?"

Rico walked away shaking his head and muttering under his breath. For the life of him, he couldn't work out why Skipper never had or even wanted a girlfriend.
