Chapter 1: the vet

3rd person's pov

It was a partly cloudy day on Friday April 5th. Skipper was training his men like dogs. Julian, Maurice, and mort were all dancing to loud music way to early in the morning. Marlene was sleeping in. skipper quickly stopped when he heard the sound of humans talking. The penguins quickly all put on their cute act, and stared at the humans who approached them. These humans were unlike any they ever seen.

The guy was a black haired human. He had light green eyes, and was wearing a doctor's overcoat. The girl had light blonde hair, and brown eyes. She was wearing a pink dress with a white jacket. She pointed to Kowalski and Rico, and said-"those are the ones". The doctor picked up the wood board Alice usually used, and laid it across the habitat to the penguins.

The doctor approached them, and pulled out two carriers. He set the first one done, and looked to the penguins. The penguins held frightened expressions as the man approached them. He reached out his arms to Kowalski, and they all scattered. The man scowled, and went chasing after them. He quickly grabbed Kowalski, and stuck him inside the carrier. Skipper turned around, and saw his second in command get shoved in the carrier.

The man turned to the other carrier, and picked it up. He chased them around the ice floe even more. Then he grabbed Rico, and put him inside. Then the doctor went across the board with both of the penguins in carriers.

The vet~

Kowalski and Rico were put into cages as the human girl and man talked in the other room. Kowalski looked at Rico with a scared expression clearly seen on his face. Rico shrugged, and tried looking around for a way to escape. Then the door opened revealing the doctor, and the girl. "So these two have been showing signs of depression, extreme happiness, and anger issues lately" the doctor asked. "Yes David" the girl said. "Hmm well I went over the charts, and I think I might have an idea…" David said trailing off.

Kowalski and Rico were listening closely now since it involved them, and their recent moods. They themselves couldn't figure out why they were having these moods. "What is it David?" the girl asked. "I'm afraid that their bipolar…" David said. "What does that mean?" the girl asked. "Nina it means they have extreme moods are fast at doing things, and they might turn suicidal…" Dr. David said. "How can a penguin be suicidal?" Nina asked as they walked out the doors.

Kowalski and Rico wished they had not heard what had just been said. It wasn't possible right?

S: well the bipolar is a mental condition. It is where someone experiences extreme sadness, anger, or happiness. They also do things faster than anyone else, and they can turn suicidal… now the reason I wrote this is because Kowalski and rico have extreme moods.

Kowalski- he always gets over excited when his inventions are complete or invexpo is in town. He makes inventions like crazy and almost in no time at all. He gets extremely angry when people don't accept his inventions (jiggles), and he has a deep depression over Doris (an unhealthy one at that)

Rico- he has extreme attitudes toward explosives. His doll Mrs. Perky I believe helps rid some of the attitude his has as well. He also gets really depressed when Skipper is not here, or he is being attacked by something (driven to the brink). His gibberish may be caused by bipolar as well since bipolar causes speech to be messed up…
