A/N: Okay, so because Gewlicious pretty much threatened to beat me and my family to death, I'm posting this now. Even though it's not finished. But I'm working on it, and its sequal. Yes, sequal, already. I have a feeling this is going to be a shorter story than "A Very Special Day", which is fine, but... well, there you go.

Chapter 1: So Cute, It's Annoying!

There was no sight of anyone, anywhere. She could do this easy, she just had to be smart about it. Quickly tying a black ribbon around her neck, the young female pushed a box to the zookeepers office and stared at a few pictures she had on her. She would get revenge for what they did... for what they took from her. Them and their ugly, mean boss. She settled herself in the crate. The humans would check it and find her, hopefully before too long. It was a crate, the stupid humans ALWAYS checked crates for stuff, like an illness or mental fixation. The pictures she was able to hide beneath her ribbon, right against her neck as a constant reminder. Now all she had to do was wait, and find the one animal that could help her. The one that could change everything, and get back to her what was stolen.

The one who could solve the mystery and set things right.

She fell asleep right there, and waited for the morning and the zookeeper who would find her, and giggle manically at the sight of her... She just had to make sure she acted the part correctly.

The television had been left on, and the news was currently flashing at the penguins. "...the heinous crimes, bodies left mangled, disfigured, and cut up beyond recognition, and though police are doing everything they can, no suspects can be found at the time. Police advise citizens of New York, particularly those in the bay areas, and really anywhere near water to stay in their homes at night, lock their doors, and be cautious and on the look out for anything suspicious. If you DO see anything suspicious, police say DO NOT pursue it, instead record the position, get indoors, and call 911 immediately. From New York, New York, this has been..." They weren't really watching the TV, for the most part, they were in a funk.

It had been days since the penguins last got up to do... well, anything. All had been quiet, or so they thought, and so when Marlene burst into their HQ with flames coming out of her ears and mouth, they weren't a hundred percent sure why. "Hey Marlene! Everyone, Marlene's here!" Skipper said, very much out of sorts. The other penguins cheered and she immediately simmered down. Her face soured and she slapped them all promptly. "Woah... Marlene... what are you doing here? This is our--"

"Secret blahblahblah, yeah, okay, we have a major problem here, and you guys have just been... sitting around!" She yelled, looking in the secret entrance for... something. Skipper, Kowalski and Rico both hopped up to do some recon, while Private went to calm Marlene down. But when he asked her what the problem was... "Urrrghhh! It's... It's... It's HORRIBLE! It's a catastrophe!" She was breathing deeply now, and everyone was circled around her. "I don't even know how it happened. I just woke up and..." No one had the slightest clue in what she was talking about, but they did know it was at her exhibit. Manning the periscope, Kowalski did a quick look around.

"Land SAKES, Skipper... it's... it's...it's..." Skipper slid up to him, yelling for him to spit it out. "It's... cute." Everyone paused and Marlene was the one to break the silence.

"See!? It's terrible." The penguins took turns looking into the periscope. And what they saw was, indeed, cute. At least by somebody's standards. A little polar bear cub was sitting close to the people, watching them with big, iceberg blue eyes, and she had a large black bow tied around her neck. "Her name is Navi, and she's, to quote Alice, 'The cutest little thing'." Marlene said, with obvious disgust. "She's been doing this whole act too, it's just... wrong."

The other penguins didn't exactly see what was wrong with that, and decided at nightfall, when all the humans were gone, that they would investigate the polar bear farther.

...............................

Night fell, and the habitats were dark. Even the lemurs were out cold. Navi the polar bear was curled up, sucking on her thumb and muttering to herself... until she was kicked in the side by Marlene. "Alright, you... overly... cute... plush toy." She growled. Navi sat up and watched as four penguins entered the room, the last and smallest waving cheerfully.

"Well, golly... What is everyone doing up so latey-late?" At this, the penguins couldn't help but "Awww" at her. That was just too cute. "Marley, is this a sleep-over slumber party? Should I make poppity corn?" She nearly whispered. Another group "Awww."

The otter, however, was not impressed. After three stinkin' days of that, it got old fast. "Alright, you. Whatever it is you're up to, these guys will figure it out." She rounded on them and pointed at her. "Do... a recon... or SOMETHING! This..." She said, waving her arms around Navi, who's big eyes seemed to get bigger and shinier, "Is NOT... NORMAL! No animal can be THIS cute, ALL the time. Not even Mort." She thought back to the small mouse lemur. He was cute, yes, but he was also annoying and had a determined streak at times, even though that was usually just determination to touch the king's royal feet.

Navi was just determined to be so cute it was annoying.

Private waddled up to the polar bear, petting it on the head. "I dunno, Skipper... she just seems like a cute and cuddly teddy bear to me." He said, now tickling her. Her thoughts slowed a bit. 'Skipper?' "Aren't you just the cutest!" He cooed to her, assuming she was younger than he was. Navi squirmed a bit, not wanting to be tickled... but she was REALLY ticklish. She laughed and giggled and snorted despite herself.

The lead penguin looked at the two fondly before shaking himself out of it (After a scared glance at Marlene's once again fuming face.) "Be as cute as it may, Private," Navi stopped giggling and scooted Private out of the way, very much unnoticed by the other three penguins and Marlene. "She could very well be a spy... maybe." He wasn't exactly up to the thought that this cute little thing was spy material. It was, after all, one of his own arctic cousins. "A member of the icy family that lived in the cold. Lived, breathed, and ate chilly icicles every day." He said, no one having any idea in the slightest what he was talking about.

"Yeah, about that." A strange new voice came from somewhere near Private. The polar bear was now looking at Skipper with a questioning gaze. "I've never eaten an icicle, it's kinda just... ice. And I'm more into fish anyway." That was Navi talking. THAT was Navi talking? Everyone watched her with wide eyes. What happened to that cute little baby voice? "But enough with the small talk, I've been looking everywhere for you." She said, pointing to Skipper. Marlene's eyebrow shot up. She was looking for HIM!? Why? She didn't say anything, just stood back in silence. "You guys have to come with me now. The--" But she didn't get to finish. Skipper saw to that.

"Hold on there, fuzzy mammal. We're not going anywhere until you tell us why you're here, comprende?" He asked. Her cute spell was over, and Skipper was no longer blinded by excess cute. Navi rolled her eyes, and pulled a bit on her bow. "How do we know you're not some spy, sent to get secrets from us and hand them over to the evil Dr. Blowhole!?" He asked, peering suspiciously at her.

She gained a little red in her cheeks at the mention of Blowhole and held up some pictures for them all to see. "Because Dr. Blowhole took something away from me." They looked at the pictures. A giant polar bear was being dragged away somewhere, forcibly, by what looked like giant mutant crabs. "The General, YOUR General... and MY father." She said, glaring the pictures.

A/N: You've met Navi before, in "The Rock Game", and she's pretty much unchanged from there. However, this happens LOOONG before that story. Review, tell me what you think, since I'm still writing this, it can be changed. Thank you!
