Hello again! What if everyone fell in love with the wrong person? Find out in this awesome story!
I don't own the Penguins of Madagascar.
Okay, a SUPER AMAZING MAJOR shout out to TheFrozenShadows! He not only gave me the idea, he's writing this with me! Thanks, YOU ROCK!!!
Athena rolled her eyes as Marshal and Buttons went on and on how Phil and Mason were going to get into a hairy fist fight when they had an odd number of bananas left at lunch. "Yeah, I so thought that Mr. Phil was gonna make Mr. Mason loose his ability to talk when he saw that last banana!" Marshal said, making Buttons laugh and pound his flippers together. Athena sometimes wondered what Elli saw in Marshal, but then again, he did act different when he was around her.
Elli sighed. "Please stop, you've been going on about that fight ever since lunch and they didn't even fight!"
Marshal sighed. "No, the point is, they were about to fight! Didn't you see them?"
"It looked like they were just getting into a verbal argument, not a physical one." Athena said, but of course, Marshal didn't understand her. She rolled her eyes. "They weren't going to fight, oh wait, here's how it should sound. They…were…not…going…to…fighty…fight." She said with a smirk, but Marshal snickered.
"Ha ha, seriously, be a comedian." Marshal said.
Elli sighed and rolled her eyes, and then she saw the familiar gate of home. "Thank goodness we're home; it looked like you two were going to get into an argument, again." She smiled at the two, then rushed to the gate of the penguins' habitat and leapt inside. She looked back and waved. "Well, come on!" she said with a small laugh.
When Athena, Buttons, and Marshal were in the H.Q. Elli was already hugging her dad, which seemed to be a tradition for them. Marshal was being patted on the head by his dad, Skipper, and Buttons was being play wrestled by his dad, Rico, but something was missing. Where's my dad? Athena thought to herself. She scanned the area, and finally saw him working at his chemistry set again. She sighed. Again? He's been busy with work for days! She thought.
Kowalski sighed and his eye lids felt ready to fall, but he kept them open to stare at his formula congested clipboard. "x+6a/32-56+3=53" he said with a yawn. Come on Kowalski, you can do this. He encouraged himself. Maybe you should take a break, that way Athena doesn't get worried about being overstressed again. He thought, but he smiled nervously when he saw a cross flippered Athena standing in front of him. "Uh, hey sweetie." He said with a nervous chuckle. "Why are you home so early?"
Athena sighed. "It's after school! Dad, this just isn't healthy! I mean what if I was in danger and you didn't notice I was, like, three days late getting home?" she asked.
Kowalski sighed. "I'd notice."
"What if you didn't?! What are you working on anyways?" Athena asked. She leaned to the side and saw her dad's messy desk. "Who can make the messiest mess?" she said in a teasing manner.
Kowalski laughed sarcastically, but patted his daughter head. "For your information, eager beaver, it's a highly addictive compound known as love potion 37."
"Love potion?" Athena repeated.
Kowalski nodded and held up the little test tube filled with the green liquid that Athena guessed to be the potion. "A little mango sweat and garlic, and then you're head over tail feathers for the first person you see!" he said excitedly. "Or, you put it on yourself, and the first person to scent it on you will fall for you, it's dangerous though. One whiff is all it takes." He said. He could already feel it warming up in his flippers.
Athena starred in amazement at the liquid. "Wow." She reached up to touch it, but Kowalski took it out of her reach.
"Sorry Sweetie, but this is a dangerously addictive and unstable substance." Kowalski explained.
Athena crossed her flippers and rolled her eyes, at first it was about her dad being too overprotective of her when it came to chemicals and machinery, but then that got her thinking about other ways he was protective of her. "Boys right?" she asked, tapping her foot and not unfolding her flippers.
"Oh, most defiantly." Kowalski answered with a nod before putting the substance up.
Athena looked up at the tube. "Love potion number 37, you think you can take away my dad? Well you're wrong. I can't believe I'm saying this, but time to break the rules." She said with a trouble grin. "37, you will be mine." She said, before taking out her own little clip board and constructing a plan of her own.
That's right, Athena was perfecting love potion #37. It WAS saving her dad all this work, so she wasn't breaking the rules, was she? Marshal, Buttons, Elli, Eggy, Lucky, Nellie, Lilly, Prince JJ, and Maurisa were all there to help her, because she only had an hour until her dad was back from reckon.
The group worked industriously, but they quickly grew tired.
Athena was giving rapid orders. "Elli," she yawned, "could you pass me the vinegar-water solution? Marshal, could you get the boron?" she asked the two. Elli politely gave her the vinegar-water, but Marshal wasn't in a friendly mood today, I suppose.
"Ugh," Marshal groaned, "get it yourself! Don't be a MORON."
"Ha, nice!" Peanut exclaimed, before fisting him.
"Guys, come on! We only have 20 minutes before my dad is back from reckon!"
"Quit the rhyming, before it get a freak on!" Maurisa said, but then she covered her mouth. "Wow, it's contagious!" she said in disbelief.
"I shall make a rap about it!" Prince J.J. exclaimed, but before anyone could protest, he began. "There once was a penguin, who needed some Boron, but then another penguin said she was a moron, then their parents would be back from reckon, and if we don't quit it with the rhyming, there would be a freak on!" he rapped.
There was an awkward silence as the kids starred at the lemur prince strangely.
"Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment." Prince J.J. said, bowing down.
"Hand-" Lucky started.
"-Her-" Eggy said.
"-The-" Nellie said.
"-boron." Lilly said, finishing their common duckling brother-sister thing.
"Fine..." Marshal grumbled, before handing her the boron.
"Buttons, please pass the lemon juice," Athena politely said to Buttons, who did what she said with a friendly smile as well. Marshal's jaw dropped at Button's friendly treatment.
"What, that's so prejudice! You're all demanding with me, and then you get all polite lovey dovey with your boyfriend here!" Marshal yelled, making everyone burst into laughter, and making Athena and Buttons blush.
"Hey, he is NOT my boyfriend!" Well, not until this love potion works, Athena thought as she poured more and more chemicals together.
"Guys, guys!" Elli yelled to calm everyone down from laughing. "We'll never make progress if we fight!"
"Elli's right," Athena said, shooting a glare to Marshal. "We need to cooperate."
And the team worked for a productive 10 minutes.
"Alright, guys, we only have one more ingredient to add in order to make the potion stable, and that's garlic. But before we get it, PLEASE be careful around this thing, because it's radioactive." Athena warned them, giving them all a hard look, but of course, someone got stupid. Surprise, it was Prince J.J.
"Oh, a radio?" Prince J.J. exclaimed while he was running to the table where the test tube was, and then knocking over the love potion.
"NOOO! J.J. you idiot!" Everybody yelled as the contents of the potion spilt all over the floor.
All seemed normal for a split second, but then the group's eyes all turned into love struck ones as they stared into one another's.
"Oh, Marshal, I never noticed how handsome you really were," said a smitten Athena, as she starred into Marshal's light blue eyes with a big smile. Her heart pounded inside her chest and she was starting to sweat under her down feathers.
"Maurisa, you are looking most attractive today! Almost as good as how my father says HE is!" said Prince J.J., looking over at his servant. Why had he never noticed how cute she was before? She was always next to him!
How dangerous this love potion will be, Athena didn't have any idea. She was too busy thinking about Marshal. The love potion was so powerful at the moment, that it caused people to be in love with people not even present in the room.
Worst of all, nobody knows how to end this. Not even Kowalski, who had just stepped inside the room, back from reckon.
Review, and I hope that everyone can get back to normal, and also, who falls in love with who?
Bye!!!!!
