Chapter one: Grant Me a Wish

Rune walked around the edge of the zoo at night. She had an emotional break down in front of Kowalski (A/N: See Rune's Diamonds).

"I want a baby!" she had sobbed, "Everyone else has a child! I want one too!"

The lemur hated herself for her break down. It wasn't poor Kowalski's fault. It was no one's fault, really. Rune just had to face the fact that she could never ever-

Russel. Russel.

"Who's there?!" Rune shouted, putting her guard up. Her yelling had started crying. Rune looked around, trying to locate the source of the cries.

Finally, Rune peered into a bush and found it. A baby squirrel.

"Aww! You poor thing," Rune cooed, lifting the baby up, "I'm sorry I startled you." She ten began to rock the baby. The boy fell asleep in her arms and she smiled.

***

Kowalski, like Rune, had decided to take a walk. He wrote down some options to cheer Rune up but he knew the only thing that would was if they did have a baby... That was impossible!

The tall penguin sighed as he approached his home. Everyone called it the "Lemuins" habitat since he and Rune both lived there. Apparently, people loved to see odd couples, which is why Skipper was also living with his wife, Marlene.

"Hello, Kowalski! You're back!" Rune shouted happily as she kissed Kowalski as soon as he entered their underground home.

Kowalski stared at her. Just a few minutes ago, Rune was so sad, it was torture, but now... Has she snapped? "Ah...hello, Rune... Are you feeling okay, sweets?"

"Yes! Never been better!" she laughed.

"M-Maybe you should lay down."

Knowing her husband way too well, she glared at him. "I am not crazy, Kowalski!"

"I didn't say that!"

"You were thinkin' it!" she snapped.

"Well, then, why are you so happy?"

Rune grabbed Kowalski's flipper and dragged him over to a wooden crib. "Look."

Kowalski gasped. It was a baby squirrel! Did she-

"No! I didn't kidnap him!" Rune growled.

"God, you're good at reading minds."

"Yes he is, but I'm only good at reading you," Rune said.

"...Oh! I see what you did there. Clever."

"Okay, enough straying form the main subject."

"Which is?"

"Chip!"

"Chip?"

Rune sighed. "His name's gonna be Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Chip for short."

"You're hungry, aren't you?"

"A little snackish. Why?"

"Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough?"

"I thought it would be cute!"

"Rune, sweetheart, what if his real parents are still out there?"

Rune crossed her arms. "Who leaves their baby alone in a bush? People who abandon their child, that's who!"

Kowalski went and got his notebook. He began to write in it.

His wife looked over his shoulder to see the head title;

Things we need for Chip

Rune smiled widely. "Thank you, Kowalski... I love you so much."

Kowalski smiled. "I love you too... Now... We'll need juice, berries, lichi nuts-"

"No Lichi nuts!"

"Why not?"

"'Casue they're gross!"

"How do you know that Chip won't like them?"

"Mother's intuition?"

Kowalski shook his head as he scratched off Lichi nuts from the list. "Okay, what else?"

"A bed," Rune told him, "And wrist bands and a chocker! Make 'em black!"

"Why does he need those?"

"To match me, of course!"

Kowalski chuckled. "Why do I have the feeling it's gonna be a long night?"

"'Cause it is!" Rune squeaked happily.
