A remake of a fan fic series I wrote with a friend of mine. I don't know if I'll ever get in contact with him again, but I told all of my friends involved that any characters made would live on somehow. This story line follows the TV specials that aired on Disney Channel. I may change the ending up a bit because I sort of had two ideas and I didn't know which one to use, and it all got confusing. So, I got the idea for this story from the fact that Roofhowse and Skip look really similar, and since Skip disappeared before Roofhowse showed up, I thought it might be interesting if they met. I can go on for hours, so i'm just gonna stop here and get to the story telling!
Roofhowse and Skip
Chapter 1: Something's Missing
It was a bright and sunny morning on Club Penguin. Everyone on the island was filled with joy and light. All except Roofhowse. The lime colored penguin rolled out of bed and pulled the shades down on his windows. "I don't need a reminder about today. I know exactly what's coming, and I don't care." That morning was the start of the Puffle Party. Every breed of Puffle would return to the island and they would be put up for adoption. He still didn't care. There was only one Puffle that Roofhowse wanted, and he wasn't there. Back when Merry Walrus came, he befriended one of the six members of his sled team, Enrique. However, since Enrique was a trained Puffle and an important member of the team, he could never be adopted by a penguin. He wasn't meant to be a pet. Every year, Roofhowse locks himself in his igloo, filled with despair knowing that he and his best friend will never meet again. It was already bad enough that his sister got lost at sea. This penguin had never felt so alone in his life. He hoped that one of his friends would come and try to cheer him up, but no one came. Roofhowse felt as if the very center of his heart had vanished. There was nothing that snapped him out of his depression. Suddenly, someone knocked on his window. He opened the curtain to reveal Lorna. She waved happily, while Roofhowse debated whether or not to let her in. After about a minute, he decided it wasn't healthy to spend this much time alone in the darkness. He unlocked the door, and Lorna ran in. "Hi Roofhowse! I have big news! You have to come to the Puffle Park with us!" Just hearing the words made him want to throw a bunch of blankets over himself and hope to suffocate. "Lorna, I know you mean well, but you know how I feel about this day. It's best if you just leave me here alone." She grabbed his flipper. "What I'm about to show you will completely change your mind!" Lorna dragged Roofhowse to the park. "Just so you know, waffles aren't going to make me happy." She stopped for a second and absorbed her friend's comment, almost insulted by it. Then, she moved on. "It's much better than waffles! If that's even possible! Look up ahead!" Roofhowse squinted his eyes and saw something in the distance, and he was almost in shock.
Something large, blue, and shiny was in the center of the park. He walked closer to it, and the image became clearer. It was a sleigh, and Merry Walrus was sitting in it, and in the harness was six Blue Crystal Puffles! Roofhowse started to run for the park, burning off the built up energy and excitement. "Enrique! It's me! Roofhowse!" The Puffle heard his voice and went crazy. Enrique shook himself free of the harness and flew into Roofhowse's arms. The two seemed to be floating in the clouds, and they couldn't hear any of the loud noises around them. It turns out that Enrique felt the same way ever since he and his friend were separated. He lost his will to continue pulling the sleigh, all he wanted was to be with his best friend again. Lorna and Merry Walrus exchanged concerned glances at the two. They were so quiet, it almost seemed unnatural. Neither of them wanted to say anything though, they didn't want to interrupt them. Lorna looked at the empty harness where Enrique used to be. "You're letting him stay?" Merry Walrus nodded. "That's the reason I came. Enrique is retiring early, and I have plenty of Blue Crystal Puffles to fill his position. I knew Roofhowse would want to see him again, so I just came to drop him off." Roofhowse thanked Merry Walrus, and he took a seat on a bench next to an Arctic White penguin. Her hair was long and curly, and it was jet black at the top of her head. The color faded in a waterfall effect and eventually turned to a hot pink color. She was wearing a gray shirt with a dark purple hood, and blue jeans. She stared longingly at a book with some really old pictures in it, they were all brown and grainy. She closed her eyes and a teardrop fell on a photo of a penguin that looked a bit like her, only her hair was in a huge bun and all black, and she was wearing a poofy ballgown. Roofhowse thought that she was possibly mourning the loss of a relative, so he decided to comfort her. "It's alright." He whispered calmly. The girl continued to cry. "You don't understand. Almost no one does." She looked up and faced him, then her mood suddenly changed. The girl gave him a long look, then changed the subject instantly. "So, do you believe in...ghosts?"
