Yay!!!! My first story……I don't own any of the characters, they are own by DreamWorks.
Chapter One
Kelly was laying on the couch sideways, her elbow was propped up and her head was resting on her hand. She was staring at the TV. flipping through the channels.
"No….Nope….No way…..Lame…..Snoresville…..And…..I'm back to where I started."
She let out a big groaned as she turns the TV. off and toss the remote onto the coffee table. She resitchuated herself to now were was lying on her back, flippers at her side, and her eyes closed as she let out a big sigh.
"It's official….I'm bored."
Just then she heard footsteps pass by her; she sat up to see Kowalski heading to a weird looking machine with his tools. Kelly raised her eyebrow, being curious; she decided to go see what he's up to.
……………………………………………….
'Okay' Kowalski thought to himself. 'The blue wires should go to this part, the red wires should go here…..'
"Hello!"
"Auuuuuggghhhhh" Kowalski jumped.
Bang! He hit his head on the machine.
Kowalski came out from underneath the machine, while holding his head in pain.
"Never, ever, do that again." He glared daggers at her.
"What? Say Hello?"
"No." He growled. "Sneak up and scare me like that"
"Sorry" 'wait' Kelly did a double take. 'Did he just growl?' "What's wrong with you?"
As an answer, the machine fell apart and that made Kowalski growled again.
He grabbed his hammer and nails, and then started banging away.
"I'm….*bang*…having…..*bang*….problems…..*bang*…with……*bang*…..this……*bang*…time…*bang*……Machine…..*bang*….." He grunted out in between the bangs.
"I can tell." Muttered Kelly
"Kelly, I'm very busy right now. Is there something you need?"
"Do you think I can help?" Usually, Kelly wasn't interested in this kind of stuff, but she was very bored that it made her very desperate.
The hammering stopped. "You mean you'll retrieve the tools I ask for?"
Kelly snorted "no."
"Then the answer is no." Kowalski went back to his hammering, but stop when Kelly grabbed his flipper.
"Why not?"
"A. You're too young to handle tools. B. You and machines don't get along." He answered as he pried Kelly's flipper off of him.
Kelly shrugged. "Not my fault. I try to be nice, but they keep blowing up in my face."
"I see you got my point now." Kowalski went back to work.
Kelly leans against the time machine. "Oh come on Kowalski. I Promise to be careful."
Part of the machine fell apart again, as Kelly leaned against it. She sat up, staring at it, in surprise. Then she looked at Kowalski, who was glaring at her.
Kelly put her flippers up in defense. "I barely touched it."
In response, Kowalski put his flipper on his hip, and pointed the other one as if were saying "get out"
Kelly sighed in defeat. "I'm going, I'm going."
She was a little bit hurt that Kowalski didn't want her around. Maybe a little snack will cheer her up. Kelly grabbed some goldfish and a juice box, then sat down at the table.
'Wow, I never seen Kowalski act like that, he's usually an all-around nice guy'
She look back at Kowalski, who was still struggling with the time machine. She wishes she can find a way to cheer him up, but for right now, she decided the best thing was to stay out of his way. She heard a sigh coming form across the table, she turn to see Skipper looking at a book about chess.
She smirks while shaking her head. Even after two hundred and thirty-seven defeats, Skipper never gives up. Of course this makes him an easy target to tease…..
'Wait a minute……that's it. It's been awhile since she teased him'
Actually she just tease him this morning, but to her it seems like a long time. She grinned at Skipper, who was still looking at his book, having no idea what his youngest team member was up to.
She just found a way to entertain herself.
"It's time to go fishing." She muttered to her self.
After putting her snack away, she locked her eyes on her target.
"Oh come on Skipper, give it up." She said as she walks over to him. "You can try all you want, but Kowalski is still going to beat you."
Skipper looked up with a grin on his face that screams victory.
"Negative, I have a plan that will wipe that will wipe the smirk off of his face." He gave an evil crackle and went back to his book.
"That's what you said the last two hundred and thirty-seven times he has beaten you."
That comment made Skippers face drop into a scowl. He gritted his teeth, and clenched his flippers so that the book, itself, was shaking.
"Nice to know you've been keeping track of the score."
"Actually, that was just a guess." Kelly shrugged as Skipper slams his head onto the table muttering a few colorful words.
"Is that how many times he has beaten you? Wow, how can you even show your face, it must be embarrassing."
Skipper sighed as he lifted his head and sat his book down.
"What do you want Cadet?" Skipper's eyes were closed and he was massaging his temples.
Kelly smirks. 'And the fish is hooked'
"I'm bored."
Skipper's eyes snapped open as he look at Kelly. "Well go find something to do, I'm busy."
He picked his book up and continues reading. Kelly was now leaning over his shoulder, Reading the book too.
When Skippers and her eyes were connected, Kelly just smiled at him, while he looked annoyed.
"You know, it's really hard to read when you're breathing down my neck."
Kelly grinned, and then breathes heavily into his face. She giggled as he cough and gasp for air. She was really glad she had pizza goldfish.
"Oh, come on girl." He waved his flipper around to get rid of the smell. He was leaning away from her."Haven't you heard of a breath mint?"
'Now time to reel him in'
"I was going to ask you the same question. You don't want your breath smelling bad, epically with Marline around."
Skipper raised an eyebrow looking surprised. "Marline? What does she have to do with this?"
"Don't tell me you haven't notice the way she looks at you. I think she like likes you."
If Skipper ever had a moment when he felt very awkward. This was it.
"Right….I'm just going to pretend that we never had this conversation and find a quiet place to read." He started to gather his stuff up.
'Oh no! The fish got away. Think Kelly, got to get him back.'
"Well, it pretty obvious how you fell about Marline. I mean, I saw you moaning Marline to your pillow, while making out with it. At least that what Julian calls it, But what does making out mean? Maurice wouldn't let Julian explain the word to me. Do you know why Skipper?.........Skipper?"
While she was talking, Skippers eyes were twitching. He didn't know who he should be mad at. Julian, who told an eight year child the word making out, or Kelly, who was spying on him. Maybe both. After hearing his name being called for the fourth time, he turned around and growled at Kelly.
Gulp. "Whoops……went too far." 'Fish gone mad! Retreat!'
She started backing up. "You know, it's a bit drafty in here. I'm going to outside to get some fresh air. Bye!" She turned and high tailed out of the h.q.
…………………………………………………………………………..
Once outside, Kelly took a look around. It was a nice spring morning; the sun was peeking over the building, just waiting for little kids to come out on this nice day.
It was just a few hours before the zoo opens. Few hours until Kelly find something to do.
On the other side of the pool, she spotted Rico.
'Hey, maybe I can hang out with Rico. He's a fun dude.'
"What's up Rico?" She mad her way towards him, then suddenly stop when he glared at her. "What?" He pointed to someone next to him. Kelly took a closer look and saw it was a doll. Rico's Girlfriend. She guesses they were watching the sunset.
"Oh! You're on a date. Sorry. Have fun." She turned around and sighed.
'Okay, maybe Private wants to hang out with his sweet, adorable, little sister. Now….where is –there he is.'
Private was on the other side of the pool, eating fish. Poor Private didn't get to have breakfast; he slept in late because he and Skipper went on a midnight recon. Now he was enjoying his late breakfast, but not for long.
"awwww……sweet, sweet fish. I waited forever for this moment."
Just as he was going to take a bite, when he felt someone slap his back.
"How's it going Private?" That slap cause Private to drop his fish into the pool.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Take it easy, Private. I'll get the fish"
"Don't bother, it's ruined." Putting his flippers into his face.
"Its just wet, how bad could it be?"
He glared at her. "Do you realize what we do in this pool?"
Kelly raised an eyebrow. 'Is this a trick question' "Uhhhh…….go swimming."
"That and also where we do our business."
Kelly was confused, than got a disgusting look on her face. "Ewwww!"
Private nodded. "Yeah." He looked at the floor, shaking his head. "Thanks to you, I'm going to have to wait for lunch." He grabbed his tummy as he walked away. "My poor tummy."
"Oh , come on Private." Kelly called after him. "I'm sorry……Private?"
Kelly kicked the stone, laying on the ground, into the pool. She looked up at Marline's crib, who was busy cleaning. Then over at the lemurs, where Julian, Mort, and Maurice were sleeping, probably from the all night dancing.
She sighed in defeat and went back inside.
………………………………………………………
Plopping onto the couch, she stared into space as she thought to herself about the past hour.
'I know that everyone is busy with their own project, but it seems that they don't want her around. Well fine, maybe I wont be around. Maybe I-'
Her thoughts were interrupted by a weird sound, like when the TV has a bad reception.
"Kelly! Look out!" She heard Kowalski shout.
She sat up in time to see a strange electricity heading her way, before she could move, she was hit by it. She felt the electricity went through her whole body. It was like her insides were on fire. In fact, it was too much to bare, that she screamed in pain.
Hearing her scream, Kowalski tried everything to shut the machine off. Finally he unplugged the cord, and then ran up to the couch where Kelly was laying.
"Kelly! Are you- Oh my….."
"Is she alright?" Skipper asks in his rough voice, but you can hear a bit of concerned.
Private and Rico, who heard the fiasco from outside, were right behind him.
As soon as they reach the couch, they look down expecting to see Kelly, but instead they saw a baby penguin reaching her flippers up at them as if telling them she wants to be hold.
Private scratch the back of his head. "Uh….where's Kelly?"
Kowalski was still staring at the baby, not believing his eyes. "That is Kelly."
There was silence; Rico spoke for everyone when he said, "huh?"
Skipper for the first time, looked confuse. "I know I said that Kelly was the youngest…this is not what I meant."
"Alright. If you want proof, here's one." Kowalski picked up the baby penguin, showing the necklace worn around the penguin's neck. "Does this look familiar?"The necklace she was wearing was the same necklace, Kelly always wore.
That comment was enough to make the three penguins gasp.
