1 – Something Mammally is Going Down at Coney Island
A peaceful morning in New York, the cars are already up and hooping, the smell of coffee fills the streets and of course, flying down the sidewalk, is a pink remote control car. It was just driving past the people, unseen by most, and blamed on being tired by the rest.
In it were five figures. Judging by their expressions, the vehicle was probably filled beyond capacity. Rico was the one doing the driving with his leader on his right. The two penguins looked at ease, but sitting in the middle of the back seat, a water monitor was trying to find room for his tail and legs. The birds next to him were also uncomfortable, but they at least sat still.
They were driving as fast a modified remote control toy car could go. The mohawk wielding penguin was making one sharp turn after another, leaving skid-marks behind. *Deep breath and an exhale* ˝Ah, I love the smell of burnt rubber in the morning.˝ Skipper was still drinking his coffee, since they had to leave in a rush. ˝You know what's the only flaw a Friday has?˝ Skipper took another sip while his team was shrugging. ˝The fact that it has a morning.˝
He emptied the rest of his mug over the side as they sped off. ˝You guys seriously need to find a new set of wheels,˝ said the lizard after finally finding a good position. Private looked at him, ˝What's wrong with this one?˝ The monitor rolled his eyes before answering with a sarcastic, irritated voice, ˝Isn't it obvious, it's too small.˝
˝Oh, maybe Kowalski can make more room,˝ the lizard slapped his forehead and shook his head, ˝Why do we even live at the zoo. We're on missions or outside our habitats most of the time anyway. Why don't we just escape?˝ asked the reptile. ˝Good question, Kowalski, analysis!˝ ordered the penguin leader. The lieutenant pulled out his trusty clipboard, ˝Well, although the zoo limits our freedom to a certain point, we do receive the fish required for our daily needs, we're safe from predators and of course our base is located at the zoo as well as our love interests.˝
˝FISH!˝ cheered the driving bird. Everyone looked at him and then back to Kowalski. ˝And then there's of course the "Been there, done that" saying to uphold,˝ added smart penguin. ˝Works for me,˝ replied the captain. Alexander sighed, ˝so what's at Coney island?˝ Skipper extended his flipper and Rico hacked up a mission folder, which he then handed over to the lizard. ˝We've picked up some signs of activity at the old hideout of our archenemy,˝ explained the lieutenant. ˝It's an amusement park, it would be strange if there was no activity,˝ replied the monitor, while going through the badly drawn sketches in the folder.
˝What I meant was, we've detected signs of RADIO – ACTIVITY. It's true we chased off the deranged dolphin months ago, but just because he didn't dispose of the nuclear rods, doesn't mean we can let half the city blow up,˝ elaborated Kowalski. ˝ The pink car then came to a sudden stop. Thank the maker for seatbelts (their maker that is). The team members lifted their heads and there it was…
˝Gentlemen, I give to you, Coney Island,˝ said the leader and jumped out of the vehicle.
I apologize to anyone who is reading this and expecting Dr. Blowhole, but I'm instead planning to use a different aquatic mammal. One that's just a tad bit bigger. As you see I'm starting this one short as well and I hope you enjoy it as much as I hated typing it.
