The New Arrival

Disclaimer: I Don't Own POM

Chapter 1

It was a quiet and warm day over the Central Park zoo all the animals were relaxing in their habitat's since it was a Sunday afternoon and the zoo itself was closed. However a certain group of animals weren't relaxing like the others. The penguins of the zoo were attempting to break into Alice's office, one by one each penguin jumped onto one another's shoulders until the last was able to open the window.

Skipper perched on top of Kowalski's shoulders and was the one to open the window. Once it was opened they were able to get inside. "Alright we're in, Kowalski I want you on the computer find out any intel about the new arrival. Private, Rico your on look out duty!" Ordered Skipper, Private and Rico nodded and one stood at the window and the other at the door.

Kowalski rapidly typed away on the computer while Skipper walked back and forth waiting for answers. "Ah hah, we have information!" Stated Kowalski as he stepped back from the computer with a smirk.

"Nice work Kowalski, now we need help from the chimps since we uh can't read, Rico go fetch the chimps!" Skipper glanced back at Rico with his arms on his hips.

Rico saluted "I'm on it!"

A few moments later Rico and the chimps appeared at the window "I say, no need to shove!" Stated Mason as him and Phil were shoved up onto the window ledge.

Skipper smiled as the chimps jumped down and up onto table, "well hey there chimps bought time you got here!"

"Yes quite, but I must stress that if you ever need our help you only have to ask and not shove us all the way here!" Mason growled at Rico.

Skipper shrugged, "sorry chimps that's kinda Rico's thing plus he can't talk. But now that your here we need your assistant in getting all the intel on that computer, we have a new arrival coming to the zoo and we need every bit of intel that we can get."

Mason raised his eyes "might I ask why?"

Skipper waved his flippers and walked back and forth "sorry that's classified!"

The chimp sighed and him and Phil sat next to the computer, Phil read the screen and did some sign language and Mason translated. "Well according to this machine, our new zoo resident is in fact an otter and she'll be arriving some time tomorrow, hm round about the afternoon I would say."

"Oh, wow an otter there such graceful creatures you know the way they swim in the water," stated Private as he clapped his flippers together in excitement.

Skipper rolled his eyes at Private, "she could be a spy Private!"

"But we haven't even met her yet." Replied Private.

"All the more reason to suspect, why couldn't she have come today? It would put my mind more at ease," Skipper sighed as he walked around in circles.

"What difference would that make?" Questioned Mason.

"It just means we can't question her until the zoo closes, but by then she might have completed her mission for Blowhole by stealing our secrets!" Skipper yelled with a twitchy eye.

Everyone went quiet Private whimpered a little, "Skipper aren't you just being a little too paranoid?" Asked Kowalski.

"You can never be too paranoid Kowalski, just look at what happened to Manfriedie and Johnson they let their guard down for just a second and BOOM, no more Manfriedie and Johnson!" Skipper said with a serious face on. "Right well all we can do is wait until zoo closing time then we can greet our guest." Skipper said with narrowed eyes and his flipper tapping his beak, footsteps were then heard coming towards the office door.

"Oh no it's Alice!" Shrieked Private.

"Let's move!" Ordered Skipper and the penguins and the chimps jumped out the window and ran back to their habitats. Leaving a very confused Alice behind.

"Huh, I don't remember leaving my computer on!"

xxXXxx

Monday soon came and it brought the same weather as the day before, which gave everyone a good reason to visit the zoo, plus that they were also getting a new animal. A crowd gathered round the newly built otter habitat to witness the opening of the crate which contained the new arrival.

Alice jumped into the habitat and used a crowbar to open the crate, she bent down on her knees with a board expression on her face, "okay come on out and see your new habitat I'm sure it's better than your old one... well done all I can do, guess you'll come out on your own time!" Alice sighed in annoyance and walked away.

Meanwhile at the penguin habitat Skipper observered the crowd and habitat through his binoculars, "drat I can't see past that crowd!"

Private stood beside him as he left Kowalski and Rico waving to a few people standing around their habitat, "why all the fuss for an otter? Perhaps she's a rare one."

"Beats me Private, all I wanna know is if she's a spy for Blowhole!"

Private sighed and continued to watch the crowd. Closing time soon came and Skipper was eager to check out the new habitat, "okay boy's keep an eye out she could be dangerous!"

The three penguins shrugged at one another and continued to follow Skipper towards the crate. Apparently the otter hadn't moved from the inside. Skipper fell backwards as a certain lemur jumped in front of him. "Ahhhh!"

"Well, hello penguins it is I King Julien!"Cheered the ring tailed lemur.

Skipper growled, "ring tail keep it down already!" He yelled in a hushed whispered and clamped the lemurs lips shut. Julien struggled about and managed to get his lips out a bit.

"What is with all the hush-hush?"

"We here to greet our new guest to the zoo." Cheered Private.

Rico slapped him, "ow!"

Skipper rolled his eyes and let go of Julien, the ring tailed lemur laughed "well that is why I'm here and also to explain that I'm the king and what not."

Skipper shook his head and slid over to the crate the others followed. His eyes scanned the inside only to find it a little dark but quite light near the front. "Hm there's nothing here."

"Wait what's that ball of brown fur?" Questioned Private.

"I'm guessing its the otter," exclaimed Kowalski.

Skipper raised his eye ridge and walked closer to it, "uh, helllooo!" He saw it shaking.

He walked right up to it and attempted to touch it only to receive a scream from the otter. She jerked up and backed herself up against the wall of the crate. Skipper couldn't see her properly "wonder what her problem is?" Questioned Julien.

Private stepped forward "she's probably just scared, it guess it would be pretty scary getting transferred. It's okay we're not gonna hurt you, we're all friendly right guys?" They all nodded.

Skipper watched as the otter emeraged from the darkness she looked rather nervous though that didn't stop him from going wide eyed, he couldn't get over at how beautiful she looked, well for a mammal.
