Hello and welcome to my first Penguins of Madagascar story. I wanted to do this one on Dr. Blowhole, because there are so few stories about him. Especially, romance stories. We Don't know anything much of his past, except his stay at that park, so it gives me some liberty. Anyways, I just like romance stories. I hope you like this one.

Deep inside an old abandoned building, a plot was being concocted by a devious mind. The very mind was possessed by a certain dolphin, Dr. Blowhole. His mechanical eye gleamed in the lights of his new evil lair. It was in a rundown neighborhood of New York. He wanted to be close, so it would be quicker to finish off his foes. The evil dolphin laughed. "Finally, my plans are coming along perfectly." He said. "Those Pen-Gu-Ins won't be able to stop me this time." He laughed again.

A lobster walked up to him. "Uh, boss. There's something you gotta see." He said.

Dr. Blowhole sighed. 'Well, they're here early.' He thought. "Alright." He went along on his electric scooter. Since he was a dolphin, he couldn't walk on land. That fact had cost him once. He shook his head to get rid of that memory. He followed the lobster to a small room in top of the old building. There was a group of lobsters clustered around something. "Okay, what is all this trouble about?" The lobsters moved aside and he looked down at the source. It was a human. Once he got a good look at the human, which didn't take but a few seconds, his eyes widened. He stood straight up and backed off a bit, all the while looking at the girl. One should say woman, for she was in her early twenties. She was a girl of India heritage. "No. It can't be." He said, more to himself. Old memories rushed inside him.

"Are you okay, boss?" One of the lobsters asked, after a moment of silence.

Blowhole shook his head, to get himself together. "Yes, of course you fools." He said. He then looked at the woman to see her gagged and tied. She was unconscious. "Who tied her?" A few of the lobsters raised their hands. He went up to her, to get a closer look. He saw a few bruises on her body. Anger swelled up inside him. "Who did this?" He said. His anger was evident in his voice. This spooked the lobsters. A few of them shakily raised their claws. "Seize them." He ordered. The lobsters grouped up the perpetrators. "Take them to the food market." The perpetrators voiced their objections and cries of mercy. Even some of the others joined in. "Do it." This time they shut up and took the lobsters away.

Blowhole looked down at the girl. 'Looks like the past has come to haunt me.' He thought. "Take the girl." He ordered, while keeping his eyes her. The lobsters picked her up. They made sure to pick her up gently, so as too not anger Dr. Blowhole. "Follow me." He turned and scooted away. They followed. He finally came to a bedroom. It was dark and gray. The paint had chipped off, and the wallpaper rotted away. It wasn't much, but at least there was a bed. He motioned towards the bed. The lobsters laid her down upon it. They untied her and took the gag out. "Leave." The lobsters did as he asked and closed the door. Dr. Blowhole just looked down upon the human. She brought up memories of a past he had lost. A past that once had so much happiness, but was torn away from him by humans. She had meant a lot to him back then. He knew she still had a place in his heart now. "Katrina." He said softly to her.

(Flashback)

The summer sun shone down upon the ocean blue. The waves gently rolled along, as the breeze swept by. The peaceful calm was then shattered by a spray of water. A small dolphin burst from out of the sea and twirled in the air. "Whaaa-hooo." He said, before plopping back down into the water. 'Nailed it.' He thought. He swam up to a larger female dolphin. "Did you see that, mother?" He said. "I jumped up higher than last time."

His mother smiled at him. "Yes, you did." She said.

He snuggled up close to her. He felt so safe when he was with her. "Mother, do you think, if I jump high enough, I could fly." He asked, as he looked up at her with his big, innocent eyes.

"Of course." She said. "You can do whatever you set your mind to."

"I want to be the first dolphin to fly." He said. "I'll fly all over the world. I'll get a bunch of neat stuff and bring them home to you, mother. Wouldn't that be cool?"

She chuckled. "I can't wait." She said, kissing him on the head.

He squirmed out of her grasped. "Mother, I'm a big boy now." He said.

"I know, but you'll always be my little one." She said. "Now, give your mother a kiss."

He just smiled. "You'll have to catch me first." He said, before taking off. He heard his mother laughing, as he raced away. They kept going for awhile, before he started to tire. She caught him. He smiled and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. They both started laughing, before a large shadow started to loom over them. They both stared up at the slim shaped creature floated on the surface. "What is that, mother?" He looked up to see fear on her face.

"Go now." She said, urging him on.

"Why?" He asked.

"Don't question, just go." She said, pushing him forward. They rushed off, as the shadow neared. It picked up its speed slightly, but they quickly out swam it. "I think we lost them." They started to slow down. Since they had been paying attention to the shadow behind them, they didn't see the net up ahead. His mother slammed into it. He stopped and watched as his mother struggled in the ropes. He saw that she wasn't getting anywhere with them. He moved toward them. "No." She hollered. "Leon, just go. Leave me, please. I don't want anything to happen to you."

"I'm not leaving you, mother." Leon said. He went up to the surface and took in a breath of air. Then, he headed down tried to break the ropes with his teeth. He wasn't making any headway with them, because of his small teeth. He looked over at his mother. "Don't worry, mother. I'll get you out." He went back up to the surface. When he did, he saw another one of the shapes, but now he could see the whole of the creature. It was huge, shooting out into the sky. Two legged creatures, which he had never seen before, walk across the huge monstrosity. What really scared him was that it was headed towards them. 'Why is this happening?' He thought. He breathed in and dived. "Mother." He said as he got close to her. "The shadow is bigger than it looks and there are these two legged things on it. It's coming right at us." He noticed his mother wasn't moving as much as she had before. "Mother, are you okay?"

"No." She said, obviously tired. "I want you to promise. Please Leon, promise me."

"What is it, mother?" Leon said. He could see she was in pain. He wanted to cry, but he wasn't going to do that in front of her. He was a big boy after all. He had to be strong for her.

"Promise me that you'll leave me now." She said. Leon just stared at his mother. "There's a pod nearby. I have a few siblings there. They'll take you in."

Leon just shook his head. "No, mother." He said. "I'm not leaving you for nothing." He started on the ropes again. Gnawing and tearing with all the force he had. Still, it did not break them. "I'll get you out, mother." He continued on. When he tried to swim up to the surface, he stopped. Something was tugging on him. He looked down to see his tail caught. "Mother, I'm stuck." She moved her head slowly. She looked at him and cried slightly. Leon tried with all his might to break free, but he couldn't. Just then, the shadow hovered itself up above them. It stopped and did nothing for a moment. Then, the rope started too pulled upwards. Eventually, it pulled them over the surface. Leon wriggled in the air, as he was brought on board.

Leon was thrown on the ground. It felt strange, being out of the water. The cool air hit his skin, chilling him. The hot sun tingled upon his skin. It was a harder to breath, for it seemed like his chest was being crushed. "Mother, what is going on?" She didn't answer. He looked over at her. She wasn't moving at all. "Mother." He was scared now.

A few of the two legged creatures walked up to them. "Looks like we caught a couple of dolphins." One of them said.

Another one walked up to his mother. He bent down and looked at her. "She's dead, this one is." He said

Leon couldn't believe his ears. 'No.' He thought urgently. He couldn't keep it inside anymore. "Dead. She can't be dead." He screamed. "Mother. Talk to me mother. Please."

"This one is still alive." One of them said. "Should we release him?"

"No." One said, while shaking his head. "The other one must have been his mother. He won't last a day without her." He paused for a moment, before snapping his fingers. "I got it. There's a new zoo opening up in New York. I bet they'll pay a handsome sum for a young dolphin."

Leon was shivering and crying. He was scared. Scared for himself. Scared of living without his mother. Scared of these strange creatures and scared of this zoo.
