Secrets, a penguins of madagascar fanfic

A/N: I do not own PoM or the song; Secret by The Pierces.

Marlene had to know their secrets! She wanted to know where they went when she wasn't here, what they did before coming to the zoo and everything right down to the details. The otter walked over to the fishbowl and opened it up. Dropping down, she landed next to a flat-headed penguin. "Hey, Skipper!" she beamed. Skipper didn't answer so she repeated. This time she grabbed him and shook him, "Skipper," she growled before getting shocked by it turning out to be a black-and-white pillow instead. An alarm went off as the four penguins dropped in. "Marlene!" Skipper shouted, landing next to her. "Why did you interrupt our special training?" 'Oh, these guys and their 'special training' for make-believe missions! They are too cute!' she rolled her eyes. "Well, Skipper, it's high time you tell a friend of yours what is up with this…" she waved her arms around. "'Classified Mission' things," she air-quoted the Classified Mission. Kowalski snorted, "These missions are highly classified, why would we-," he stopped and stared at Private who was pulling out the mission files. "Please, Skippah?" he begged, eyes widening and watering, "It's just Marlene! We'll make sure she doesn't tell!" Skipper started to object but saw that Private AND Marlene were doing the 'puppy-eye' thing.

Got a secret

Can you keep it?

Swear this one you'll save

Better lock it, in your pocket

Taking this one to the grave

Skipper rolled his eyes, "Fine," he huffed, "Just make her do the oath," he waved his flippers at them. "Yay!" Private cheered, taking Marlene's paw, he asked, "Marlene the otter, do you swear on your LIFE that you WILL keep this classified information classified?" Marlene stared at him. She shrugged in her mind as Private repeated the question. "Do you swear on your LIFE?" he asked, emphasising on his words. Marlene nodded, "I swear on my life," she said holding her hand up.

Private sighed and opened up the file, smiling, "Well, this mission happened in…"

Kowalski pulled up next to Skipper, Rico doing the same on the other side. "Are you sure about this, Skipper?" Kowalski asked as Rico nodded, "Yagh, yagh," Skipper shrugged, "She took the oath and we know her for a long time, at least let her know our missions," he said.

Unfortunately, she found out about their drills, codes, passwords and more classified information.

If I show you then I know you

Won't tell what I said

Cause two can keep a secret

If one of them is dead…

Marlene smirked, climbing out of the fishbowl. So they have been making up fake drills? She laughed. "Oh, this'll be a great story to tell the others," she made her ways to the chimp habitat. Jumping up at the wall, she called out to the chimps. "Hey, hey guys!" she laughed, Mason leaned in and raised what would look like an eyebrow.

"Well, did you know that the penguins have…" she whispered the rest to their ears, both chimps smiling widely. Oh, how fantastic to know a secret!

Why do you smile

Like you have told a secret

Now you're telling lies

Cause you're the one to keep it

Marlene walked back to her habitat, grinning from ear to ear. She heard someone call out to her. "Hey, Marlene!" Julien called out, hopping next t her. "What is the up with that smile?" he asked, grinning. "Well," Marlene smirked, "I heard a secret," she leaned in and whispered what she said to the chimps. Julien grinned and proceeded to tell Mort and Maurice. Mort leaking it to Bada and Bing who revealed this to the flamingos. They told Darla and her girls, they then proceeded to tell everyone in the zoo. They of course told their friends.

No one keeps a secret

Why when we do our darkest deeds

Do we tell?

They burn in our brains

Become a living hell

Cause everyone tells

Everyone tells…Got a secret

Can you keep it?

Swear this one you'll save

Better lock it, in your pocket

Taking this one to the grave

If I show you then I know you

Won't tell what I said

Cause two can keep a secret

If one of them is dead…

"Kowalski, how did Blowhole find us!" "I don't know, Skipper," Kowalski panted, Rico had been shot and Private had been killed as well. The two were hiding in the lab under the table. "I-I think someone leaked out information!" Skipper felt realisation hit him. "Marlene," He hissed. He heard a loud boom as Kowalski yelped. Blowhole smirked as he looked under the table. "Now Skipper," Blowhole teased, "Seeing as killing you is too easy," he grabbed Kowalski and pointed a gun at him. Skipper's eyes widened to the max as Kowalski was shot through the head.

Skipper was left all alone on the floor, staring at the floor. Whose fault was it? Private? No, he didn't know that this would happen. Kowalski? No, he did no wrong. Rico? He wasn't even the cause of it! Skipper ground his beak together, Marlene! It was her fault!

"MARLENE!" Marlene flinched, she turned to the direction of the noise. She walked towards the fishbowl entrance, dropping down it.

"Skip-per…?" Marlene's eyes widened. Skipper was kneeling on the floor, blood pooling around him. "You broke the oath…" Skipper hissed. "Sk-Skipper I didn't-," "Oh, what a nice excuse!" Skipper laughed, Marlene caught a glimpse of his eyes, they were watering.

Look into my eyes

Now you're getting sleepy

Are you hypnotized

By secrets that you're keeping?

I know what you're keeping

"You swore you'd never tell!" he screamed. Skipper walked closer to her as she stumbled backwards. "You swore on your life!" he hissed. "It's always the same! They never keep it and we end up dead! Just like Manfredi and Johnson! They told someone who swore but they told and they ended up dead!"

Got a secret

"I knew you couldn't be trusted… I should have known…" Marlene backed up the wall and stared up at the blue eyes. "Skipper, I am so so-,"

SLAP!

Alison?

Yes, Katherine.

I have something I want to tell you, but

you have to promise to never tell anyone.

I promise

Do you swear on your life?

I swear on my life

"You don't deserve to speak," he hissed. "You deserve to be dead…" Marlene touched where he had slapped her. "B-but I-," "You don't deserve a second chance…"

You swore you'd never tell…

She stood up and dashed for the fishbowl entrance. Or at least she tried. Skipper smirked as he picked up a piece of shrapnel. His smirk grew wider as Marlene tried to pry the fishbowl entrance open, only to have it stuck. She pounded on it, "HELP ME! SOMEONE HELP!" She turned to Skipper and dropped down, "N-now, Skipper, I know I did something wrong but-," "It's too late… You swore and broke it… You owe US your life…" He lifted the shrapnel and as he looked at the scared Marlene, he felt his flipper waver. No… I-I can't…

Letting out a frustrated growl he pushed her out of the way and climbed through Private's first prize.

(chorus x 3)

From that day onwards, Marlene feared that Skipper would find her. One day, she decided to take a swim, unknown what was waiting for her at the bottom.

Skipper smirked as he grabbed Marlene's tail and pulled her deeper, she struggled, bubbles flying past her. Skipper held the shrapnel in his hand as he stabbed her. He did it again and again and again….

Skipper smirked as he laid Marlene at the front of her cave. His smirk never left as he walked away. Only one thing echoed through his mind,

Yes two can keep a secret

If one of us is…. Dead.
