Chapter 1
Night Visit
Four penguins gathered round a smallish table and one of them regurguitated a candle to put on the table. The tallest, the one whom we know as Kowalski began talking. "Skipper as you know already, I have been working on a plan that would mock Blowhole, for what he has done to us." He then looked at the penguin at the opposite side, who had been drinking fish-coffee. "And as you know," said Skipper, " I have already allowed you to begin this mission, so Kowalski analysis!" Kowalski began showing the other three penguins the extremely accurate plan. "I have obviously accounted for just about everything, but as always the is a chance..."
"Well then, BRING IT ON!" Skipper replied, ignoring every risk the operation had at steak. Suddenly they heard voices that came from above. The four penguins ended their discusion and went outside. In the light of the streetlights four girls stood. They were obviously looking at the animals, since their vision seemed to be focused on the lemurs and otters. But why would four girls be in a zoo at this time of day? Or rather why would any child be in the zoo at night? A voice echoed through the zoo. "Helen, Jewel, Jemma, Natalie, come back at once," the voice called. Rico and Kowalski quickly hid the binoculars they had previously been holding as they recognised that voice. Round the corner came Alice, who was obviously not happy. "Why do you girls have to always run off like that, do you want me to tell your mother to pick you up?" Alice asked. The tallest brunnett quickly answered. "No, please don't call her! We promise we won't run off, just please don't tell her anything!"
The four girls had brown hair, big turquise eyes and were so close in height, that unless you measured in millimeters you wouldn't notice the differences. they had also the exact same skin tone and even same smile! Anybody would have noticed that they were quadruplets. Well, they probably wouldn't know though that that's what you would call them. "Skipper, I think this is one of the rare cases of quadruplets!" Kowalski announced. "I have never seen any quadruplet before."
"I don't think anyone of us has seen one, soldier!" Skipper commented. "But I don't that's something we should be bothered about. Move out men."
Meanwhile...
Helen held her head low. The exciment was over and there was nothing she could do to get it back - for now. Alice was a great nanny, but when it came to human teenagers she was a worry lot. You wouldn't think an ignorant zookeeper would be great nanny for quadruplets, but she did help to keep those girls out of trouble. Whenever Helern asked Alice about the zoo, she only heard complaints, but when she asked her how was her other job, Alice would be full of smiles. Something must have changed her thinking about animals, Helen thought. Suddenly she recieved Jewels thought. Agreed. They were about to go home when the four so a penguin silhouette on the zoo entrance. If the girls knew their penguins they would have known the odd thing about this one and ofcourse his name. Unfortunately they didn't, but they did know that a penguin shouldn't be out of it's exhibit. "I wonder why there's a penguin there," Jemma whispered. The rest of the girls nodded to say 'me too'. Natalie took out her binoculars and look at the penguin a little more closely. He had an abacus! Suddenly darkness fell...
...and for the three other girls darkness came too...
What do you think that was about? I am pretty sure you'll be able to figure that out and if not, this story is about to be continued anyway...
