Skip: Hey Readers and welcome to a new story of OURS, emphases on ours. Anyway please welcome fellow author to our AN! *Silence* Misty you can come out now.
Misty: I wasn't hiding if that was what you were wondering. *Folds arms* I was just…er, waiting for a dramatic entrance. Yes that is what I was doing.
Skip: *Smirks* Yeahhhh. Anyway moving on, we are finally doing a Round Robin! This is going to be great!
Misty: Woohoo round robin! You know the first time I heard the term "Round Robin" I thought of "Red Robin so, I had that jingle playing in my head for like a week, anyways I am rambling! Skippy will now explain what round robin is…Spotlight is on you Skip, take it away!
Skip: Right! A round robin is a story were a few authors come together and about the same category. In our case, AfriKat, roxygoth, thewriterstory, Mikadaphne28, Misty and me, will all be writing on this story. This story will consist only of one shots, so they are not connected.
Misty: It is going to be awesome!Also, I would just like to mention that in some of the chapters there will be some OCs, hope that's alright with everyone. This round robin will be updated once a week with a different one shot by a different author from the round robin. First up is my dear friend Skippy here.
Both: Enjoy and please review!
Misty: Wait! Skippy, we can't end the AN yet! We haven't done the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: We own nothing. (Well, some of the authors will include their OCs, and they own those, but we don't own POM so yeah...)
Kowalski waddled the lab in the underground HQ, nervously muttering to himself. This was not good news, ohh…Skipper was defiantly not going to like this at all.
"Uhh.. K'walski… Can I come in?" asked Private opening the door with a flipper. "K'walski!"
"Huh? Oh Private, come in."
"K'walski are you okay? You look a bit flustered." Said the British penguin staring into the penguins face.
"I am Private! What I'm going to tell you now, you must not repeat to anyone. And before you even ask, no, not even Skipper." Kowalski said closing the lab door. Waddling over to Private who was standing next to his table of inventions.
"So this must be very important." Private said frowning at the pile of inventions.
"Private, I have been over to Phil and Mason with this." Said Kowalski quietly, while handing Private a small sticky note. Private glanced at Kowalski with a confused expression. "It says that we are all going for an injections today!?"
"Walski! Skipper hates needles though!"
"Precisely my problem! If I don't tell him, he'll double my training. And if I do, we'll have an AWOL Skipper.
"We could-"
"No Private, we are not having you pretending to be Skipper again." Private sighed as Kowalski rubs the back of his neck in a sheepish manner.
"What are we going to do?" Private asked and the brainy penguin just shrugs in response. After a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, the sound of the fishbowl scraping over the hatch was heard.
"Kowalski, Private, fall in soldiers!" yelled Skipper. "Alice is coming!"
"Comin' sir!" both hollered back, while rushing out to meet their commanding officer. Climbing speedily up the ladder, both leaped up landing quietly on their feet. As quick as lightning, the penguins all assumed their smile-'n-wave positions.
"Oh dear, this isn't going to be good" muttered Kowalski from the corner of his beak to the youngest member of the team. Private only nodded in response.
"Okay you weirdos, time for your visit to the doc." Alice said in a bored tone. Before Skipper could protest, Alice had placed a board over the habitat and had scooped the penguins up and had locked them into a cage.
"Hover Dam! Kowalski give me-give me-"
"Uhh…Skipper… where you looking for analysis, status, or progress report?" Asked Kowalski. The flat-headed penguin glanced at Kowalski.
"Just tell me what is happening!" he ordered. Rico offered his own explanation, consisting of a few sounds and movements. Skipper raised his non-eyebrows while crossing his jet-black flippers across his chest as he watched the scared penguin in his act. As Rico ended his full-out production, Skipper remarked. "Well I hope none of that happens today." Returning his full attention to the strategist, Skipper gave Kowalski a glare that could weld metal.
"Ummmm… Sir… Skipper…" Kowalski stuttered nervously.
"Skippa, it's a surprise!" Private suddenly burst out. Kowalski gave Private a thankful smile.
"Well I don't like surprises! I demand to know what's going on." Private turned to Kowalski and mouthed 'Sorry'. Before Kowalski could launch into a long explanation, Alice had already dumped them onto the vet's counter with a thud.
"Doc! Here are the penguins you asked for. Can I go now?" questioned Alice in her usual always-bored tone.
"Of course Alice. You must have tons of things still to do." Said the vet walking out from the adjoining room and stepping closer to the caged penguins. The penguins all snorted at the vet's comment.
"So this is just our normal check over? I can deal with that." Said a semi-pleased Skipper.
"Ehh… Skipper this is not a normal check over. We are all… uh… getting-getting injections. Said Kowalski sadly lowering his head. Skipper took one glance as his crestfallen soldiers and decided maybe one shot wouldn't be so bad after all.
"Let's get this one shot over and done with, Doctor Deranged." Snapped Skipper leaping into the surprised vet's arms. He was doing this for his soldiers, even though he hated needles. As Skipper was carried in the adjoining room, Private was the first to break the silence.
"K'Walski I just want to confirm this, did you 'injection' or 'injections'?" Kowalski gulped knowing he was doomed.
"I used the plural form of injection and this is defiantly not going to be taken lightly." Said Kowalski. The three remaining penguins all cringed as they heard a yell from the adjoining room.
"Finally you're done, Doctor Deranged." Sneered a smarting Skipper.
"Okay little one, only one more." Said the vet lifting another prepped needle.
"ONE MORE!?" shouted Skipper trying to get away from the vet with the large needle.
"It's okay, I know you want to go to your little penguin friends, but you first need one more injection." Said the vet, misinterpreting Skipper's frantic yell. Knowing he was cornered, Skipper gave his last resort yell of 'Needle' while twitching his left eye, just before he was injected once more.
"KOWALSKI!"
Kowalski grimaced as a fuming Skipper was place in the cage next to him. "LEUITENATNT, YOU HAVE WON YOURSELF AN ALL EXPENSES PAYED TRIP TO FISH-SLAPPING ISLAND FOR A WEEK!?" Kowalski whimpered as his commanding officer pointed an accusing flipper as him.
"But Sir I did s-say injections. It was p-plural." Stuttered the lieutenant with a hopeful expression.
"Say no more, solider, we'll talk about this in HQ." Commanded the no-nonsense penguin. When everyone was given two injections, the four commando penguins were taken to their habitat. Alice, being impatient had dumped them on the 'floating island' with little care.
"Ain't I glad to get that over and done with." Stated the zookeeper.
"That makes two of us, sister!" exclaimed Skipper. Turning angrily to the second-in-command, the lead penguin glared at Kowalski.
"Kowalski why di-forget it. Let's go get some snow cones." Said Skipper, surprisingly calm demeanour.
"Yay!" exclaimed Private with his usual cute smile. After waylaying the snow cone vendor, the penguins settled down with their prize. Skipper and Rico both had rainbow coloured snow cones, while Kowalski had chosen a red one and Private had flipper-picked a bright blue one.
"So Kowalski," started Skipper, only pausing to lick his snow cone. "you said injections, I thought you meant it as everyone was getting only one injection." Private and Rico nodded in agreement.
"Well Skipper, I did use the plural form. So technical, you can't blame me." Said Kowalski with a hint of a smile on his beak. Skipper groaned as he rolled onto his stomach, clutching the empty cone in one flipper. Muttering something about 'plural forms', Skipper stood up and told the other black and white commando penguins it was time to head home as darkness was quickly approaching.
"Oh and Kowalski, I know everything that happens in this base. So no more sneaking off to higher mammals. Comprende? Kowalski's beak fell open in shock as he dropped into the secret HQ. After a few hours they all slipped into their bunks and Private tiredly said:
"Good night Skippa, K'walski, and Rico see you all tomorrow."
"Night boys." Said Skipper, but the only response he got was snores of his men who had already quietly surrendered to peaceful slumber. Skipper smiled to himself and closed his eyes, almost immediately falling asleep.
Skip: Thank you for reading! And our next writer will be Treemist1022! So Misty are you excited?
Misty: Excited? I wouldn't necessarily say those are my exact words…more like: Super-excited! I am ecstatic to get my chapter out, you know once I actually know what I'm writing. Hmm, yeah I should probably figure that out.
Skip: *Laughs* Yeah that could be a good idea. Anyway, we'll be updating every week so stay turned. Catch ya on the flip side! *Smiles and waves*
