The Fun-day banners were hung by the lamp posts, the penguins were training hard, Skipper Had ordered an early A.m. training session. It was now around 1:00 pm, and even Skipper was a little worn out.

"Take 5 men, we could all use a breather." Skipper said coming out of his training postures. Private collapsed to the ground exhausted, Rico plopped to the ground; While Kowalski waddled over to Skipper. Pointing to the ground where a familiar otter was wandering toward her habitat.

"Hey Marlene," Skipper yelled waving at her, but Marlene didn't wave back or say hello, she didn't even turn around. Skipper put his flipper down turning his beak into a frown and raising an eye brow in suspicion at the otter who ignored him.

"It isn't possible she didn't hear you, the distance from you to her and the volume of you voice makes that a negative skipper." Kowalski Pointed out in a matter-of-fact tone that skipper didn't like.

"I didn't ask for the update Soldier." Skipper remarked, jabbing his flipper into Kowalski chest. Kowalski rubbed the sore spot that his white feathers cover. Skipper walked away holding a scowl on his face as he disappeared into the H.q. fish bowl entrance. Private weakly waddled over to him concerned for his teammate.

"I don't think Skipper is in a good mood." Private claimed, hoping he could cheer up his friend.

"Skipper doesn't like that Marlene ignored him." Kowalski explained, Private Looked at him confused, waiting for an explanation, than it hit him.

"Oh you mean Skipper was upset when Marlene didn't Say hello back?" Rico nodded his head, his tongue hanging out the side of his beak.

Than Kowalski jumped back in, "Correct private." They starred after Marlene as she jumped into her habitat.

*Marlene*

Marlene was scrambling about waiting for her guest to arrive; she didn't have time for games. She rushed around with a duster to big for her size, but she managed. Whipping it across anything, and everything that had even the littlest layer of grim on it. She ran it across her yellow teapot with the green flower, across the wall drawings that had been there since she came.

"Marlene!" A voice came from behind her, She gasped dropping the duster and turned around quickly, an almost Identical Otter stood behind her, The only difference was that this otter was taller, and didn't have the same green yellow eyes Marlene had, hers were a grayish blue.

"Carlene!" Marlene Excitedly yelled back, rushing to hug the otter, they wrapped there arms each other happily, like two best friends.

"What are you doing here, Your early, I thought you said 1:30." Marlene scrambled about pulling Carlene along with her through the Habitat. Carlene followed happily admiring the beautiful Knickknacks and pictures along the walls.

"Mom and dad said I should come earlier. So I slipped onto the express train instead of the D train. You could not believe the trip, but it was worth it to see my little sister." Carlene Excitedly explained, talking to fast for anyone except for Marlene to understand. She watched her mouth move at light speed taking in every word, no matter how fast she talked.

"Aw that's so sweet." Marlene cooed putting her paws together happily, smiling widely.

"By the way on my way here, I heard someone calling you." Carlene Put a paw to her cheek, the way she did when she was thinking. Marlene thought for a second about who it would be the Penguins came to mind.

"Oh that's probably Skipper, or one of the other penguins." Marlene said pulling her toward the two beds, the one that Marlene slept on every night, and the guest bed that she happily made up for her sisters arrival.

"Oh, hmmm." Carlene Put her Paw back on her cheek, forming a plan in her mind, Marlene raised an eye at her sister as she got lost in thought.

"Carlene what plan are you think up this time?" Marlene asked Before putting an evil smile on her face, Carlene smiled at her lightly Whispering in her ear the plan that had hatched in her mind.

"From your letters the Penguins seem to be really smart," Carlene started, "Lets see how smart they really are." She gave a slight laugh, Marlene looked at her and let out a chuckle of her own.
