It was very early in the morning at the Penguin HQ. The penguins were awake. "Good morning." Kowalski said. "Morning to you too Kowalski." Private said. "Where's Rico and Skipper?" Kowalski asked. "Rico's by the TV as usual." Private said. "Well what about Skipper?" Kowalski asked. "I don't know where he is." Private said. "Oh yeah. Kaboom!" Rico yelled. "What are you watching?" Private asked. "Boom, boom!" Rico said.
"Ah I wish we can teach him how to talk normally." Kowalski said. Skipper walked over to Kowalski and Private. His eyes were bloodshot. Kowalski and Private screamed. "Skipper? Are you alright?" Private asked. "To tell you the truth Private, I'm not alright." Skipper said.
Kowalski put his wing on Skipper's head. He was burning up. "Oh no. He's burning up!" Kowalski said. Private screamed and grabbed a mask. "Now I'm safe." Private said. Rico was changing though channels on the TV. One channel had Rico and his brothers singing. "Ooh." Rico said. "What do we do Kowalski?" Private asked. "Well we have to let Skipper rest." Kowalski said.
"Okay." Private said. Kowalski and Private helped Skipper get in his bunk. "Wait! What about the zoo visits?" Skipper asked. "No worries. We've got that under control." Kowalski said "Private?" Private nodded. He took out an exact replica of Skipper. "Here it is." Private said. Skipper looked at it. "Does it talk?" he asked.
"No. Not at all, but it waves." Kowalski said. He pressed a button and it waved to him, but then it exploded. "Kowalski!" Skipper yelled. "Oops." Kowalski said. Then they heard a knocking sound. "Now who could that be?" Kowalski asked. "Please don't be a badger. Please don't be a badger." Private said and he opened the door. It was another penguin. "Um hello." Private said.
"Hello. My name is Coral. And you are?" she asked. "Oh I'm Private, this is Kowalski, and that's Rico." Private said. Kowalski waved to her. Then Coral saw another penguin. "Who's this?" Coral asked. "Oh my name is Skipper. I'm the..." Then Skipper sneezed. "He's the leader. Unfortunately, he's sick." Kowalski said.
"Oh I can be in charge of the team if you want." Coral said. "Okay." Kowalski said. Rico was still watching the TV. "Rico turn the TV off. You have to meet our substitute leader." Private said. "Okay." Rico said and the turned the TV off. He saw Coral. He was in love. "Ooh la, la." Rico said and he took some flowers out of his mouth and handed it to her.
"Oh. Thank you." Coral said. She wasn't really a fan of flowers in someone's mouth. "And you are?" she asked. "Oh. That's Rico. Don't worry. He also throws up objects." Kowalski said. Then they heard people talking. "Oh. It's time to wave to the people." Kowalski said. Skipper got up from his bunk. Alright boys, lets do this." Skipper said.
"Skipper, you can't come with us. You sick." Kowalski said. "No way! I'll be fine." Skipper said and then he fainted. "Yeah he's not fine." Kowalski said. After they helped Skipper, the three male penguins and the female penguin went out of the penguin HQ.
