Hello, and welcome to this Penguins of Madagascar fan story. It's my first time writing here. I noticed that there hasn't been much Skilene (or any) penguins fan fiction in awhile, so I'll try to see if I can revitalize that a little. Now, this story is rated T as a precaution because of some mild violence, due to (spoiler). Also, character death and back to life. Also, I apologize if the characters seem out of character. Anyhow, lets get this started.
CHAPTER 1 – THE BITE
It was a beautiful day in the Central Park Zoo. The sun was shining, the temperature was just right, and, for once, the penguins didn't have to fight anyone. "Alright, men," said Skipper, "time to commence training. We need to be sharp in case mother nature throws any nasty surprises at us." They were training for about an hour when Marlene came to visit and said, "Hey, guys! Isn't it a great day?" "It sure is Marlene," said Private. Skipper then said, "I agree. That's enough training for now, men". They all sat down and relaxed. "Commence Operation: Day Off, he said". They all giggled with glee. Private went downstairs to watch the Lunacorns, while Kowalski went to test some new experiments. Rico was being tested on for the inventions.
"So, Skipper," said Marlene, "Ready for our date?" To that, Skipper replied, "I sure am." They had been dating for a few months, and everyone in the zoo seemed to approve, except of course, Julian. He was massively Jealous of Skipper, because he thought Marlene should be his queen. "So where to this time, Marlene?" Skipper said. "Let's go get some snow cones in the park," Marlene suggested. Skipper said, "Great idea!" Ever since the Littlefoot incident, Marlene no longer went feral outside the zoo.
After they knocked out the snow cone vendor and got two snow cones, they just hung around the pond in the park, and remembered their memories they had of each other. "Remember that time when you said that if you ever faced raw sewage again, you hoped I would be at your side?" Marlene said. "Yes", said Skipper, "And I sure meant it. Look at where we are today. Having a great time and being together." Suddenly, a weird bug appeared out of nowhere and bit Marlene. "Ouch!" Marlene shouted. Skipper tried to swat the bug away, but it completely vanished [forever].
"Are you ok, Marlene?" asked Skipper, comfortingly. "It stings a little, but I think I'll be alright. But I still think I should check with our [Kowalski] doctor and see if there's anything wrong," said Marlene. "Good idea," said Skipper. But as they almost reached the penguin HQ, Marlene felt a lot of pain inside her. "Oww that bite is messing with the rest of my body now". "Well, let's go to Kowalski and see if he can figure out what's wrong. And we can always take you to the zoo doctor, too."
After they told Kowalski what happened, he asked Marlene, "for a blood sample." Even though, like Skipper, she hated needles, she agreed. "Hmm… This is very strange," Kowalski said. "Good strange or bad strange?" Skipper asked. "Not sure, it's just strange. Maybe the zoo doctor can take a look," Kowalski replied. As they were on their way to the hospital, Marlene felt that pain again, and it was even stronger. "Skipper dear, the pain is getting worse." "Well, I'll help you. Let me carry you so you can get some rest," Skipper said. "Good luck Marlene", all the penguins said after they knocked on the door.
The zoo doctor scooped her up and took her to the examination table. The penguins listened to him from outside. "You're feeling strange, aren't you, little one?" he asked. Marlene nodded. Suddenly, as she nodded, her pain finally got the best of her and she passed out. "Oh, no!" the doctor said.
And that's it for chapter 1. Please write a review, as it'll help me see if I need to change anything in the chapters I'm working on.
