A/N: The next chapter is here. I have gotten a slight issue with my life lately and I started to lose interest in some genre of stories, funny enough. I haven't been as active as I thought since Homework has been kind of the issue, including the academic and it is downright torture for me. So enjoy my second chapter. Oh and for those who asked why I say I'm not active but releasing these story once a week or once every 2 weeks is because I have made this already 4 years ago and I decided to post the 4 chapters I made. All I need to do is a little bit of magic in the name of editing. BTW congrats to Trump for becoming president. We're all going to hell anyways…I wish Stein or Sanders won :P This is in Kiara's POV.
Gary sent out a drone just as I could hear an explosion in the sound signal. The next thing I knew, there was a long beep, shorter ones later that and a final beep that never seem to improve. That's when it hit me…
He died…He actually…died…His heartbeat is gone….
All the years I've been with him…now just gone…
I started to cry in agony. He was there all the way for me. Then, sacrifice himself to save the island and…
The room fell silent, thinking he was dead. Gary shook his head. Dot and Matt, who was commonly known as Rookie but I decided to call him Rookie anyways because he liked the name, looked at the straight line on the board of his heartbeat, trying to say something to no avail. Jet was to the point of breakdown, funny enough, that he ran to the leader of the group Lily Aldean, who just went into the room while Jet tried to explain to her. Lily looked confused at first, but she shook her head and looked worried for Steven. Rookie came to my side, patting on my shoulder and looked at me. I looked on what the drone could see: a dead penguin laying there, bloody and eyes closed near the explosion site.
"I know how you feel. I know it should've been me but he decided to put his life on the line. I'm sorry…" I grabbed hold of him tight. He meeped at first but decided to take it. And then I hear something…
A beat
Then another
And another one
And then…another…
Did he…
We hear a cough, a voice, and then the penguin opened his eyes and forced a smile.
"You guys think I'm dead, aren't you?"
"Steven, you're a son of a penguin! I though you died!" I breathed out. He didn't die! (Language please, Kiara. If you don't know what it is, the penguin is an alternative for…well…follow this line from Scream and Shout by Britney Spears and will. : "You are now, now rocking with will. and Britney _ Yeah that word)
"My chest and head are really painful. I think I need help getting back."
"You're going to hold it for a while. You broke your spy phone so we can't teleport to you" Steven grinned and looked at the drone, making it look like he's looking at me.
"Oh, Kiara, did you forget something?" I looked on the screen of the drone. He was holding a spy phone. I looked inside my pocket of my shirt. There was nothing.
"You cheeky little…No wonder…"
"You really need to check your privacy next time, Kiara. Or else it will be a lot of trouble for all of us" Lily said in the background.
"We're coming to get you, Steven. Hold on a minute" Gary looked down on his phone.
When he locked onto my spy phone, I grabbed his hand and we teleported to the rubble, next to a particular light green penguin.
"Steven!" I smiled. I hugged the dusty penguin. I didn't care that he was dirty. He groaned and smiled as he hugged me tighter. I felt safe next to him now.
"Kiara, you're gonna hug the lights out of me soon." I realized that he was choking on blood and he was trying his best not to make it look as bad as I think.
"We better get you back. And fast. You are losing a lot of blood already!" Gary exclaimed. Before we knew it, I touched Gary and Steven and we ended up in the CPEBOH, better known as Club Penguin's Emergency Blood and Organs Hospital. Me and Gary lift Steven up the moving bed and ran as fast as we can as we push the bed to the emergency room.
The smell of the hospital gave me shivers to my back, if you consider penguins to have any back whatsoever. I was scared of needles and shots in the hospital just for the sting and the weird feeling about it.
A/N: Confession time. I actually am scared of needles and shots all for the same reasons Kiara claimed and the fact that I have to take like a 5-minute breather before getting a shot. At that point, I am still very scared that it would hurt. Really though, it might as well be painful. Back to the story
I shook my head from the thought. We have better fish to fry.
Mmmmm…. Fish…makes me feel a bit parched. But in all honesty though Steven is almost dead and we need help.
A door opened wide to see a worried Rookie and Lily coming in first, before the rest of the gang joined in. All of them look worried for the same reason: the green penguin who's breathing heavily on the moving bed with blood coming out more and more each second. A yellow penguin with a white uniform rushed to us.
"What's wrong with this particular penguin?"
"He's bleeding out. You need to heal him quick!" Rookie exclaimed.
And then, doctors and nurses started to drag him in the operation room.
"Gary, you're good at machines so we're going to need you if things go wrong" A white penguin answered as she puts on her coat. (She will be important some time later) Gary decided to go with it. He wore a doctor uniform and rushed Steven to the operation room. Steven tried to shout but all I can hear was little squeaks.
"I will recover. I promise. I won't forget you…"
Those words…It filled my mind…What did he mean by "I won't forget you?" I shook it off and went to the others near the waiting chairs. Rookie was so worried he walked back and forth waiting for the news. For some reason, he stumbled and fell as soon as I joined the others. Turns out he tripped on a chair while not looking. The clumsiness of Rookie is still as…clumsy as ever. Everybody giggled as Matt…I mean Rookie…blushed in embarrassment as he stood up from his fall. Jet stood Rookie up and helped him get to his feet, or flippers whatever. He blushed even harder in front of Jet as he realized something.
"Sorry if all that training and I'm still clumsy, Jet. Guess I'm still that penguin who doesn't know what to do and always panic for something"
Jet giggled and pat him in the back. He hugged him and finally answered.
"There's 25 reasons that I'm not as good as you as an EPF agent. And three of them is that you showed me penguins do make mistakes. Your clumsiness taught me how to train you as a better agent. You personally made my life…more interesting…before Lily came in and it's still interesting with you here. Look where you're standing now. An agent way cooler than their mentor. The name Rookie was just for the fact at that point in time you are…well…a rookie. Now, you're not a rookie. You're an agent. And that's what makes you great, Matt"
(oooooh…Light Jekie shipping I sense…Thanks a lot...CyberCriminal, captain of the ship. Your name is going to change soon so I'm saying this is your name before you change)
Rookie let go but still frustrated somehow.
"But this is why we are scared. This is why I am scared. I have trained them for 5 years by not being clumsy and teaching them how to use gadgets. Like I was the person who invited them to the EPF agency. I feel scared if someone decided to jump in and kill themselves. It's not fair!"
I can't take it anymore…I have to chip in somehow…
"We're all worried…All of us are. Gary might be sweating his lights in there saving him" I finally screamed out. Everybody was surprised when I started to cry in agony.
"I missed him. We all do. I am scared to my soul that he would be dead. I'm in love with him…I…just wanted to be with him. I have never been able to say I love him any time. I've seen so much and I just wanted him to be alive…"
And then I finally squeaked out.
"I…didn't mean to say that if you know what I mean…"
I looked down at the ground and started to wipe the tears away. Memories started to come back. The time when I ate pizza with me, which after that becomes a game of tag. Or the other time I beat him in a Snowball fight and he was so cute at that time and his sadness made my heart melt. I realized I did miss him! I truly did! I wish he could get through. And then I hear a long beep funny enough. I sat there as the other was shocked, not believing what I said because even though me and Steven fight a lot in EPF but we are particularly in love and playing with each other. But two particular penguins did trust me.
"I trust you that you have a relationship with Steven…" Dot and Lily said together…
"You believed in her that she was in love with him?" Rookie asked, giggling at the thought.
"As a matter of thought, yeah I guess." Lily smiled. Some people say Lily Aldean is a great leader and honestly, they're right. "Steven and Kiara are actually really close friends according to me…I mean I even saw you two hugging each other cutely at the cinema a few days ago!"
"Wait you watched Puffles: The party starts now?"
"Yeah. I was actually in the top left seat"
"Oh my…I actually saw you and I just thought to myself that you look familiar…" She punched me in the shoulder lightly.
"That's for not recognizing me. You were too busy being romantic to him aren't you?"
And that's when I started to turn pink on my cheeks…
Jet then smiled and sang: "Steven and Kiara sleeping in an igloo, K-I-S-S-I-N-G"
And my blush became crimson red…Rookie followed…
"Should have put it in the EPF news. 2 penguin agent sleeping together in bed playing I spy…" (Yes, I have to make a joke out of that. I've seen a lot of people in my class talking about that one funny moment in the UK family feud, although it's in the bathroom together and not in bed but whatever…)
And then a dark red appeared on my cheeks.
"Oh come on!" I finally broke the blush "I didn't even kiss him yet for one thing. I didn't even have any sleepover with him as a matter of fact. Except maybe that one time in Dot's house but that was with all of you guys."
"And at that time you are snuggling beside him. But really? Never once?" Dot smiled, "You should have taken the chance to do it!"
"Let's just say I'm in love with him, alright? Done! Problem solved."
"We still got to stay focused on what's happening, alright?" Dot finally said. "Remember who's in there waiting to be healed by Gary?"
Oh yeah…him…Thanks for the remembrances, Dot…
And so we waited…
And waited…
And waited…
And worried…
And finally Gary came out of the operation room…
A/N: What do you think is going to happen? Is Steven announced dead, recovering, or strong and alive? Find out soon…As you can see, I forgot to tell you (I hope Lily Aldean is seeing this story because this is for you) is that I wanted to put the plot of the story in an ALTERNATE STORY almost in the same timeline from Lily's Protobot Predator after 5 years. I will explain the nature of this world in my profile so check it out if you want to know what happens within the 5 years with the characters in Lily's story. Also, please someone contact her for me and tell her I said hi I tried to contact her but to no avail…*cries and wiping tears using hoof* (I'm a pony, don't judge me) I just want to meet her!
Also, for those of you who have not noticed, my avatar changed from my OC pony to a pixel art Sylveon from Pokemon. The Sylveon is made by a friend so thanks a lot! Also my username was changed from Steven2Desmond to CommanderSylveon2930. The reason why is that I lost a do not laugh challenge against my cousin so this is my punishment. I have to keep this name until the end of the year until I could change it back. But I'm starting to like the name right now so who knows, you might never be able to see the name Steven2Desmond ever again in fanfiction _
