Unforgotten Past
Chapter 1
The clock shows 2000 hours. Kowalski is in his lab. Rico
is helping Kowalski with his tools. Skipper is visitting
Marlene's habitat - he and Marlene are a couple. Private
is cleaning the bunks.
Private sighs. There's something in his mind, and he
always thinking about that since several days ago. He
was grew up in Britain, and then he sent to New York.
He never know about his parent, and he's thinking
about that now.
'Who is my dad?' thought Private, while cleaning the
third bunk - his bunk.
'And who's my mom? What kind of parent that never
meet their son?' thought him again. 'Except... No, it's
impossible. SKIPPER ISN'T MY DAD. If he is, who's my
mother?'
His bunk is finished and he moves to the last bunk -
Skipper's bunk.
'But... I've been thinking a lot about this and yes,
Skipper is acting and talking softer to me. He is acting
kinder to me. More than Kowalski and Rico, Skipper is
like a dad for me in this team.' thought him.
'Well, maybe that's only because I'm the youngest
here...'
He lifts Skipper's pillow, and finds something under it.
He takes it and sets the pillow back to its place.
A photograph.
He takes a deeper look to that photo. There's Skipper
in that photo, carring a baby. A male penguin with
similar body and the same icy blue eyes as Skipper's
standing next to him, with a female penguin that has
similar body as Kowalski's.
'Wait - who's the baby? It's... Me?' thought Private,
staring the baby. The baby has the same blue eyes as
his, and similar body.
"Already finish the bunks, Private?"
Private turns around and hides the photo behind him.
Skipper is there with Marlene.
"Yes, sir." said Private.
"Just take a rest. You must be tired." said Skipper,
smiles to him.
"Alright. Thank you, dad." said Private.
"I'm going to walk around the zoo with Marlene, maybe
I'll back late - What did you say?" said Skipper.
'Oh Lord...' thought Private.
"I mean, thank you, Skipper." said Private nervously. "I
must be very tired. I'm sorry."
But Skipper chuckles. "Okay. Bye, Private." said him.
"Bye, Private!" said Marlene.
"Bye!" said Private, smiles.
Skipper and Marlene walk away. Private lays on his
bunk, staring the photo again.
"I just called Skipper as my dad and he wasn't angry
and he chuckled!" said Private to himself.
He decides to put the photo under his pillow. He
doesn't know why, but he thinks it's not the time to
put the photo back to its place.
And he quickly fall asleep.
The clock shows 2130 hours. Skipper is standing in front
of the bunks, watching the sleeping Private with a
smile.
"Sir? I thought this is Private's turn for the night
recon?" said Kowalski, walking towards Skipper.
"I take his turn." said Skipper.
"Alright..." said Kowalski, hesitates.
"Why, Kowalski?" ask Skipper.
"I don't know sir. But shall we tell him about his... parent?" ask Kowalski.
Skipper nods. "It will be hard. But we shall." said him.
"Alright, sir." said Kowalski.
Skipper turns around and heading to the clocktower.
'I am still missing you, Jack. Cathrine. Manfredi. Johnson.' thought him.
To be continued...
A/N: HOW STUPID AM I! I just see the dictionary and notice that I have used a wrong word for months in my stories! It suppossed to be 'chuckle', but I typed it 'chuck'! I'm sorry for that!
Anyway, please review.
