Chapter 1: Skipper and Kowalski

Summary: Skipper started like every other penguin… in Antarctica born to two parents. His father was named Victor and his mom Jessie. His parents also had an older daughter named Belle. Skipper and Belle never really got along. Then everything changes when a new little boy comes into Skipper's life…

~ (Start)

"Skipper where are you?!" came Belle's voice. Skipper was atop a snowy mound outside. It was a tall mound stretching about the size of the Grand Canyon. Skipper at this time of his life was about 10 years old. Belle was 15. "Skipper what are you doing!?" Belle yelled while seeing him atop the mound. "I'm going to make the world record sis! I'm going to skate this thing and do the most back flips ever!" Skipper announced. "Not right now you're not!" Belle replied pulling him down by the flipper.

"You're not fair to me!" Skipper yelled trying to pull away. "I'm going to show you not fair in a minute…" Belle said while dragging him all the way to their igloo. "Stop being such a bad chick!" Belle told him. Then she went inside. Skipper sat down and started to play in the snow angrily. "I am not a bad chick!" he stated drawing a picture in the snow. It was a picture of a place known as New York City. Sure Skipper had no idea what that place was or that it even existed, but as a kid he could dream big.

"Drawing that imaginary place of yours again?" his mom said. "Is it really just imaginary?" Skipper asked. "…. I don't know… I've never been further then Antarctica's nearest town Venderdale. It could… possibly" his mom said. "Really?" Skipper asked. "Well I really would be surprised, but I just don't know…" Jessie replied. "I hope it does… I've had a million dreams revolving around this place. It's like something's telling me to go there…" Skipper said.

"Well you should try to go for your dream sweetie no matter what it takes… but at least wait till you're older… the world out there is cruel and unforgiving" Jessie told him. "Okay mommy I will…" Skipper said. "Son come here!" came his father's voice from the back of the igloo. "Coming daddy!" Skipper called back. Skipper then ran back to meet his dad who was standing with a little chick who looked to be a year younger then him, but still taller than him. "I want you to meet our neighbor's little boy he's one year younger then you, and he's a genius!" his father told him while going in front to meet his mother. "Hi there…" Skipper said to the chick. The chick said nothing, but looked down, and seemed to shiver. "Are you okay?" Skipper asked him placing his flipper on the penguin's shoulder.

"Y-yeah I'm fine…" came the penguin's voice. "What's your name? Mine is Skipper" Skipper told him. "M-my name's Kowalski…" he answered. "I like you Kowalski. We're going to be best friends I can tell!" Skipper said smiling. Kowalski didn't say anything back, but just smiled. "Alright runt it's time to get home…" came a woman who took Kowalski's flipper dragging him back into the neighbor's house. Skipper thought nothing of it, and rejoined his parents in the front yard.

"So you make nice with that boy?" Victor asked. "Yeah I think we're going to be good friends!" Skipper exclaimed. "Good…" Victor said. Skipper then went inside their home. "Are you sure this is what you want?" Jessie asked him. "I don't want my son to be dumb as rocks Jessie. This new kid's going to teach him to behave and be smart…" Victor replied. "I don't know it doesn't seem right. Isn't his mom Kelly?" Jessie asked. "Yeah so what?" Victor asked. "Victor Kelly's been in prison 4 years, been on drugs 12, and drinks every night for the past years of her life since she turned 12…" Jessie said. "Well she was your best friend…" Victor said.

Meanwhile Skipper and Belle were watching TV inside. "Hey Belle did you meet the new kid?" Skipper asked. "Oh yeah… he seems to be pretty nice… although not very talkative…" Belle replied. "Yeah… dad wants us to be best friends…" Skipper said. "Well you're only a year younger then him so I can see where he is getting at. Maybe this new kid will help you behave…" Belle stated. "I am not a bad chick!" Skipper yelled at her. "Don't start yelling at me mister!" Belle said glaring. "Maybe I wouldn't if you stopped hating me!" Skipper yelled getting off the couch, and slamming the door to his room.

Skipper sat alone in his bedroom till night hit. He heard something outside. He looked outside, and saw the little penguin he met yesterday out there. He opened his bedroom door quietly, and went outside without waking anyone. He walked over to the little penguin lying on the cold snowy ground. Skipper could see a snow storm was going to hit soon so he was going to warn the penguin.

He put his flipper on the penguins back, and the penguin instantly got up. He looked at Skipper, and rubbed his eyes to the snow around them. "Hey Kowalski what are you doing out here… there's a storm about to hit" Skipper told him. "Oh yeah… I know. That would be the fifth one since we moved…" Kowalski said pulling his blanket out from under the snow. "Why is your blanket out here inside of inside where it's warm?" Skipper asked. "Oh mommy says chicks stay outside at night so they become strong…" Kowalski answered. "You don't have your own room to sleep in?" Skipper asked. "Nope mommy needed room for storage" Kowalski said.

Skipper looked at him just pretty much staring. "That's terrible…" Skipper said. "No it's okay… I like it out here. There's so many things to explore and see… one day I'm going to be a big penguin, and I'm going to be a scientist!" Kowalski exclaimed with a big happy smile. Skipper seemed surprised that this little penguin could be so happy. He slept outside while most penguins slept indoors. He didn't even have his own room. His mom would rather let her chick freeze in a snow storm. He didn't even seem like the type to play or even watch TV.

"What do you do for fun around here?" Skipper asked. "Well I mostly just doodle stuff on this old clipboard I found… check it out" Kowalski said handing him an old oil stained clipboard. He looked at it going through his papers each seeming to beam with wacky machine things. "What are these things?" Skipper asked him. Kowalski pointed to the front page, and said- "This is my notebook of ideas and dreams" Kowalski replied. Skipper noticed that many of them enticed writing markers and colorful buttons. "What's this one suppose to do?" he asked pointing to one that caught his eye. "One day that invention is going to solve the biggest mystery to us penguins… flying…" he said with a gleam.

"You think you can make a penguin fly?" Skipper asked surprised. "No I don't think. I believe I can" Kowalski answered. "Turn to the last page…" he said. Skipper flipped the pages, and came to the last page, but what was drawn on it made him almost faint. There on the page was a drawing of the city he always drew in the snow. "Do you know this place?" Skipper asked hopping the penguin could help him reach his goal in life.

"Unfourtanely no. I just always had this dream about it…" Kowalski replied. "Something's not right here. If you and I both dreamed of this city it's got to exist!" Skipper said pulling the clipboard closer to his chest. "No it doesn't. Mommy says it's a stupid place made up in our heads…" Kowalski said taking back the clipboard. "Well if it is… tell me why did you draw it?" Skipper asked. Kowalski paused a moment. "Maybe because it's the only hope I have left in this world…" Kowalski replied.

"What do you mean?" Skipper asked. "I never wanted to be what my mom wanted me to be. She said it was stupid, selfish, and impossible. Penguins can't learn science Kowalski. Well I'll show you all!" Kowalski angrily said to himself. Skipper backed up a bit. "Please don't leave me here. Everyone else thinks I'm a freak… I don't know what to believe in anymore. Is this really a phase in my life? Waiting for everything to come down in my face, and laugh and ridicule me till I cry on the ground?" Kowalski asked himself.

Skipper stepped forward again. "Look Kowalski I don't know much about this science stuff, but my mom always told me that you should never doubt your dreams no matter what life throws at you…" Skipper said putting his flippers onto the penguin's shoulders. "Really?" Kowalski asked. "Yes… look I know I'm not the best penguin to be telling you this, because I have everything I could want… but please believe me. If you want to do science you should! Prove to all of them they're wrong about scientists. You can be anything you want to!" Skipper told him. "No one's… ever been this nice to me before…" Kowalski said.

"I could tell otherwise you wouldn't be here. So I'm going to do you another act of kindness Kowalski" Skipper said. "What would that be?" Kowalski asked. "Want to have a sleepover at my house?" Skipper asked. Kowalski just smiled as Skipper helped him up.

~ (Time Skip- 5 years later)

Skipper was having his 15th birthday. Kowalski was at the party with his mom. His mom seemed to not be happy being there. Skipper walked over to them when they were done singing happy birthday. "Hey glad you could make it to my 15th!" Skipper said. "No problem… maybe you could come to my 14th in a week…" Kowalski said. "Wait you're a year and a week younger than me?" Skipper asked shocked. "Yeah… I just figured I'd come anyway…" Kowalski said. "Oh… well come join me in the games" he said pulling Kowalski with him over to the bowling alley game. "You sure raised a good boy Kelly… he seems sweet…" Jessie told her. "Yeah he's a nerd what do you expect…" Kelly said while smoking a cigarette. "Kelly I told you no smoke at my baby's birthday!" Jessie said.

Kelly sighed putting it out. "So it seems you're boy's been invited to mine's birthday party next week…" Kelly said. "Oh really that's awesome!" Jessie said, but then Kelly glared at her. "Keep your yappy happy son away from mine. He's poisoning his mind. Ever since he met him he's been going crazy with his stupid inventing hobby" Kelly warned her. Jessie seemed shocked. "Kelly what's gotten into you?" Jessie asked. "What's gotten into me? Really? That kid there!" she says pointing at Kowalski.

"Ever since he was born my life took a downturn. I was going to be a star a singer in penguin courtier, but since he was born and ruined my life with his mockery science crap I can't get a single deal anymore! The one thing I regret the most of my entire life is I never aborted that loser!" she said leaving the party. Jessie looked around, and everyone had been staring at them. Skipper looked at Kowalski. Kowalski seemed to not have a single expression. Skipper though knew this was not going to go back in Kowalski's mind ever. What kind of mom would even think about saying that?! Especially when their kid is right where they are.

Everyone was silent… no one dared to say a word. Then everyone started to leave the party slowly… no one was in a partying mood anymore. Skipper noticed Kowalski had not moved a single inch. He then quickly went over to him pulling him into a soft hug. Kowalski seemed to hold no emotion at first, but all of sudden it came out in a crying fit over Skipper's shoulder. Skipper was just patting his back the whole time. Jessie and Victor were cleaning up the party not daring to say anything or brother their son and his best friend.

Belle also seemed leant that night of saying anything. Kowalski was with them that night. He didn't want to go home at all. When Belle and Victor went to bed Jessie came out to them. "I was going to save this for your 18th birthday Skipper… but I think you both could use it now…" Jessie said. Skipper took the envelope. "Do not open it till tomorrow at 8 though. Kowalski you may stay here tonight…" Jessie said while going back into their bedroom. Skipper and Kowalski wondered what they both could use.

~ (Morning)

Skipper and Kowalski were awoken early in the morning. "Ugh what time is it?" Skipper asked. "Its 6 am… we have to get you to the ship now!" Jessie told them. Then they were suddenly dragged out by Jessie, Victor, and Belle to a ship that read- 'Destination awaits!'. "What's with the ship?" Skipper asked. "It's part of the gift in that envelope. You have exactly 2 minutes to get on the boat and read that message. Then Skipper went aboard. "You too Kowalski" Jessie said pushing him onto the ship before the bridge came back up. They both looked over the edge to see them waving them goodbye.

Skipper turned, and took a letter opener opening the letter. Kowalski looked at it too. There inside was a small note, and a picture… this is what it read…

Dear Skipper,

It took us forever to finally find this for you, but we did. Your dream is about to come true. Son this picture shows the city you have been drawing for years. It's your new home… you're new destiny… make us proud. This place… is called New York City.
