My new story! :D Hope you enjoy it!
It was a normal day for the nine penguins of Central Park Zoo. Right now, they were entertaining the visitors, smiling and waving, belly-sliding, and being one hundred per cent adorable – especially the chicks. Rusty and Ace swam around in the pool. Cam, afraid of water, kept close to the centre of the fake ice-burg, and just waved. Cleo and Gracie danced around, holding flippers, and the audience loved it, throwing fish for them to eat. Eventually, the crowd thinned, and the penguins were left to enjoy their fish.
"Good work today, soldiers," Skipper said with a satisfactory sigh. "We've gotten more fish since the chicks started joining with the cute and cuddliness."
"What'll happen when we're all grown up, and not so cute?" Cam asked.
"I dunno."
"We'll have a crowded enclosure, and some of us might be transferred," Kowalski said, after some quick calculations with his abacus.
"I don't what that to happen!" Gracie cried.
"Or Alice will have our habitat expanded."
"That sounds much better…"
"Speaking of transfer," Private began, then pointed to Alice, who was carrying a fairly small crate towards their habitat.
"What the deuce?" Skipper questioned, rubbing his beak. "What kind of penguin is that small?"
"No idea," Kowalski replied. "But I have a feeling we'll soon find out."
Alice placed the crate in the middle of the habitat, and the younger penguins crowded around curiously.
"I couldn't even fit in that," Gracie remarked. Alice used a crowbar to open it, and left. The four older penguins peered inside.
"You're kidding me, right?" Skipper asked when he saw the contents.
"What it is?" Ace asked.
"We've done this already," Kowalski added.
"What? Done what?" Cleo asked.
"You'd think we'd have no room left," Private stated.
"No room where?" Rusty persisted. Cam had enough of this, and squeezed between Kowalski and Rico to see.
"Cool!" she cried.
"What is it? What is it?" the other four chicks cried. The pushed past their fathers and looked inside.
"Whoa!" Ace and Rusty exclaimed simultaneously.
"Another one?" Cleo asked, laughing.
"Daddy, we have to keep it!" Gracie cried clapping her flippers, and jumping up and down excitedly.
"What do you think, Skippah?" Private asked.
"I don't see why not," Skipper replied, pulling out the small, round egg which was nestled in the crate.
