Description: Kowalski can't let go of science not solving love mysteries but after trying again with his new love invention and finding that it points to a couple that just can't be, he begins to have doubts.
Author's Note: First PoM fanfic and who knows if more will come or if this shall be the only one I write. Decided to write stuff here because it seems like a good introductory kind of thing to do. Enough of this now and on to the story.

Chapter 1: Love Camera
"Yes almost got it. Just a little more." Kowalski was heavily focused on his new invention that would prove once and for all if science was worthy of still pursuing. Any mistake now would leave him heartbroken, and quite frankly, really upset.
It was just a little more work with getting it all back together aaaaaand "EUREKA I GOT IT" He held up his prized invention and hurried off to the others, who had been busy playing a card game.
"Be prepared because I have the latest piece of genius in my very own flippers!" Kowalski began, hoping the suspense would make the others equally as excited. The three just kept on looking at him so he just continued, still in excitement for this was certainly genius. "I present to you the Love Camera!"
"Isn't that just a regular camera." Private pointed out.
"This isn't just your ordinary camera. This device can tell you your future partner and say if you're compatible or not."
"That just sounds like that Lovulator thing you made not too long ago. You know the one that failed by setting Marlene up with Fred the squirrel. Skipper reminded the scientist, who didn't much appreciate the reminder.
"Yes but this idea is original and most importantly new and improved."
"Not so original if you already made it before." Skipper crossed his flippers as he said it.
"It is original if I made both of the inventions it just means it's not new!" Kowalski countered.
"Ha you just said it's not new so it really is like your last love invention." Skipper was quick on his feet to point that one out. Now he wore a smug grin and Kowalski was not appreciating it at all.
"This isn't the point of the invention! Can't you see with this you can get a more advanced reading of who your soulmate might be? It's foolproof."
The three exchanged doubtful looks. They already heard this song before. A classic by Kowalski where he sings how foolproof something is and it ends up being a disaster.
"Is it really foolproof?" Private asked.
Kowalski laughed at the question. "Is it foolproof you ask. Of course it is! I would just need a sample of DNA to test it."
"Why don't you go ask Marlene I'm sure she'll agree to go through this again." Skipper remarked with that all too well known sarcasm of his.
"Oh there shall be no need to go bother her again." Actually he was more afraid that asking her again would result in a repeat failure.
"Then who?" Private again questioned Kowalski once more.
"I was thinking perhaps Skipper this time."
He expected the reaction before Skipper could even do it. The leader immediately reacted negatively to it.
"No can do I'm not going to be your guinea pig in your endeavor for crazy love science."
"But you'll be perfect!" Kowalski moved closer to the leader, giving him a clearer view of the camera and it's wonders. "Using you will eliminate almost all factors and make finding this mate easier. Meaning that since you don't fall in love easily, in which your case is close to never, if we find this person and you feel that romance blooming we know that the camera works! This is the work of science!"
Rico spat out a bouquet of flowers and held it up to Kowalski.
"No not that type of blooming!" Kowalski corrected him but took the flowers anyway.
"I am not interested in love!"
"Please Skipper I am even more desperate than before to prove that science can solve anything!" He was now on his knees begging for the leader to change his mind.
"Alright get up no need for all of this begging business. I'll do it under one condition."
"Name your terms and I'll agree."
"That you stop worrying about all the love inventions and if we ever do need to suddenly fall in love during a battle then we'll give you a call. Comprende?" Skipper was getting tired of all the love themed experiments, more so if it included him.
Kowalski sighed, knowing he'd have to be careful not to fall in the temptation of trying more love potions. "Ok I agree. Now for the love camera to work I will need a sample." He plucked a feather from Skipper and placed it in the camera. It accepted it with a glowing green light in the corner and it was all good to go!
"Alright now you have to take a pic of Marlene and preferably in secret so she doesn't confuse the results and or come chasing after us in fury for trying to use her as a guinea pig again." Kowalski explained to the leader as he gave him the camera.
"Wait why Marlene?" Skipper narrowed his eyes at Kowalski, suspicious of what the taller penguin was trying to say here.
"Well she is a female and perhaps the only female in the zoo so by default it has to be her."
Skipper was already regretting agreeing to be the one to go to Marlene. He bet Kowalski chose him on purpose for another reason now. "Fine I'll take the picture but don't expect me to develop feelings for her."
End of Chapter 1
Not sure how much chapters this will have but we shall see eventually. Maybe.
