Chapter 1: So You Want To Hear My Story?

Disclaimer; I do not own the characters!Although I feel like i know Sven better than George Miller!

It was spring again and there were new chicks and everyone was as happy as ever! They all were good friends all penguins, skuas, elephant seals, sealions, krill and whales. And Sven. The puffin. The loner. He had become quieter and more reserved over the past few months because of what happened last spring. It wasn't his fault he lied. Ok maybe it was, but he needed to. Just as Mumble needed to lie about singing, except Sven's reason was bigger. Like Lovelace's lie about meeting the aliens, except Sven's reason was bigger. He had not wanted what happened to him to happen. No way. But it did, and Sven became an even more lonely puffin. At the moment he was sitting on cliff far above the penguins staring which way he assumed to be the direction of his old home. Home? Not really. The arctic was just his birth place. He didn't know if he was ever supposed to be blessed with a home. No in the 12 years of his living being.* stumble trip stumble climb climb* *pantpant*. It was Ramon. For some reason Ramon never truly felt anything for the puffin. Care or hate. So that made him slightly different. (A/N: ok guys to be fair Ramon is probably my least fav character, but I thought them two could get into trouble and have a heck of alot of fun together!)
"Hey Sven!" Ramon said half panting half yelling like an excited child. Sven looked at him, smiled and said
" Hey" in a quiet worn out voice, but with a smile. Ramon scrambled closer and leaned on Sven for support as Ramon was tired.
" Carmen and my eggs just hatched! Can you believe it?"
"Yes"
"I mean i never thought this day would come"
"I knew it would come...eventually"
"You gotta come and see them"
"Wait. Them? Egg...s?"
"Yes. Two. Now come ON"
"Why?"
"Well don't you want to see them?"
"Well yes..."
"i knew you would"
" but not down there with all of them."
Ramon looked upset and then smiled like a boy who just found out his friend has a crush.
"AWWW.. You're so cute"
"What?" That offended Sven (A/N: for reasons you'll understand later. )
Ramon ran alog wanting Sven to follow him. Sven decided that really he SHOULD look at their chicks. It might make them both happier. Ramon and Sven. Even though Ramon was perfectly happy anyway. Sven was actually becoming quite curious of what gender they'd be. What they'd look like and how they'd speak. After all the two new parents were very different. Sven flew behind Ramon not ever wanting to go any further but he made it. He landed and as usual, because he's small and now insignificant, penguin ether almost trod all over him because they didn't think to look down or when they did look down they muttered something mean about him under their breathe so he could only hear it. He became grumpy and when they got their he looked just about as miserable and Ebineezer Scrooge.
"Hey Sven!" said Mumble in an unsure, quite quiet voice because he couldn't tell if Sven would snap back out of the face he was pulling. Sven looked up as to say: I only came here coz i was forced i don't intent to talk or listen to the likes of you. Of course Sven didn't actually say that what he really said was
"mmm" Even better. As Sven looked at Gloria she had a Motherly are you alright face on in which Sven thought: aww she's so sweet with the lightest of tired smiles. Then he looked lower to Carmen who was concentrating on her babies. The babies looked a bit...not like either of them yet. It was hard to tell for Sven. He just studied them and thought : Oh i should at least say something nice...
"Aww, well at least they don't look like Ramon yet" Whoops!Everyone looked at him. For a moment he thought: I'm sure they knew i can speak! Then he realized: Oh no! It must've came out too forced! Then he re realized: That was probably kinda rude...I should say sorry. No, I should fly away. He was about to take off when they started laughing. Then Erik, Atticus and Boe came over.
"What's so funny, oh hey Sven!" Erik said looking down on Sven. Sven looked confused in an about-to-take-off pose untill he put his wings away and felt really awkward and shyly said]
" Heh...Hi Erik, Atticus...Bo..."
Then Erik got some of the smaller ones and pretended Sven was a super hero. The one of the younger chicks said
" We don't care about that story!" Sven's head tugged into his neck " We want to hear you're Dad's story!"
" Yeah Mumble's story is WAY better and bigger!" anither said in agreement. As Erik told Mumble's story all of them listened intently and for Sven this was the first time he EVER heard it. Wow, Mumble's journey! He didn't find it THAT much, as Erik said, because worse, better and far more adventurous things happened to him. Strangely and rudely to the rest of the penguins, Sven never showed ANY respect to Mumble. Sven didn't WANT to apologise to someone a third of his age, he'd get embarressed. Also any form of affectionate confessions Sven couldn't handle. He blocked it ALL out. So he'd never feel anything for anyone so he could bare to lose them. Which for Sven was probable. The Arctic. the Aliens. The penguins. He started to walk away when Gloria caught him in the act.
"Sven where are going" She asked cheekily. Sven smiled naughtily at the way she used her voice. He turned around and said
" It depends on where I want to go..."
"Sven...look. We all KNOW you're story doesn't begin with loss of you're home. So why don't you just tell us the story? Hmmm?"
Sven turned around and looked at her smiling. He enjoyed flirting with her and so in a flirty voice he proceeded to say
"So you want to hear my story?"
