Research

Next day in the morning, everything was normal Skipper was having his fish coffee, Kowalski was trying to figure out all of the things that had happened yesterday, Rico and Private were watching TV and all of this was interrupted by "Morning News Flash".

Chuck Charles: Yesterday there was a theft at the jewellery and the worlds most expensive ring was stolen. Although the attempted burglary was foiled as the jewellery item was returned to its place by the thieves, the police tried to trap them but proved unsuccessful.
Private: Skipper! they are talking about the job we did!

Skipper: It wasn't a theft, it was a loan.

Skipper and Kowalski sit down to watch.
Chuck Charles: The police describe four thieves and an accomplice The thieves are all white: one tall one with glasses, another with a scar across his mouth, another short and the last one with a flat-top haircut.

While the news reported on this, the penguins were frozen from the impression.

Chuck Charles: The accomplice is described as having long, wavy hair, and short in height.

A photo was shown of the five "people"

Chuck Charles: If seen in town, please report to the police.

Skipper: This is impossible! How can they describe us as humans if we don't even look like them?

Kowalski continues on his earlier reflection and at long last solves yesterday puzzle.

Kowalski: I know Skipper! All these strange happenings yesterday, plus the visual confusions where done by Antonia.
Skipper: Who?

Kowalski: The one that saved our lives

Skipper: She? (laught) Kowalski, please! She is just a simple 17 year old teen!

Kowalski: Skipper, can a simple teen do all she did? Think in all the details, after climbing into the car.

Skipper looked at him as if he wasn't interested in whatever Kowalski thought.

Kowalski: When the ambulance was coming and she had no intention of stopping, she guessed what it was you were thinking of.
This time Skipper opened/widened his eyes a little more

Kowalski: Or what happened when she twirled her fingers - Each time skipper opens his eyes more, or when she raises her arms palm upwards, black clouds formed and...

Skipper: Okay, okay, you convince me. What you want to tell me with that?

Kowalski: Well… I thought that I could bring Antonia over here, we shall run some tests on her and...

Skipper: OH NO! THAT WONT DO AT ALL KOWALSKI!

Kowalski: Hey, that was just an option!

Skipper: Is there another one?

Kowalski: The other would be to research her outside with quite a large machine.

Skipper: That one is better.

Kowalski: Well, they could discover us.

Skipper becomes alarmed.

Kowalski: But, if you want to run the risk I'll go and get my special machine out and ...

Skipper: Eeeeehhhhmm, you know what? I was kidding. The first option is muuuuch better. Now, go get her.

Kowalski agrees and goes out to get her.

Kowalski: Oh such a difficult task. How am I going to know where she's...?

Antonia appears out of nowhere and shouts "Boo" and loud as she can. Kowalski shouts and drops to the floor. Antonia starts laughing.

Kowalski: What the...? Antonia ! he yells out angrily while she laughs. After she's done laughing she looks at her ring.

Antonia: What I was expecting: Phosphorescent pink

Kowalski: What?

Antonia: Well, this is a special ring as it changes color according to one's mood.

Kowalski tries to fake lack of interest, but he was so keen on carrying out experiments on one of those rings that he was about to burst.

Antonia: Don't hide me anything, Kowalski. I know what you want. Here.

Antonia makes a ring appear as if from nowhere and gives it to him.

Kowalski: Oh, thanks. About that, I'd like to run some tests.

Antonia: What? about the magic? Okay, no problem.

They go towards the Zoo and Kowalski goes inside and says:

Kowalski: Skipper! I found Antonia!

Skipper: Very good. - Now, how is she ever going to come in? - Antonia suddenly appears shrank in size behind Skipper and does the same trick she laid on Kowalski.

Antonia: Booo!

Skipper: Ahhhh!

Skipper falls off his chair for a second or so, he picks himself up and sees Antonia laughing standing together with Kowalski, and he goes bright red.

Antonia: You should have seen your face Skipper!

Skipper: ... How do you know my name?

Antonia: Things from my past, also Kowalski says he wanted to check me over with his machine, due to the strange things that happened yesterday. Are you coming?

Skipper says "yes" and when they reach the lab, Kowlaski brings out his latest invention.

Kowalski: This is the Virtudimeter!

Skipper: VirtuWHAT! Why not just call it "virtue finder"?

Antonia: Skipper, this is a scientific invention and not a little game or something. It is called a Virtudimeter and that's that.

Kowalski: WOW, you are the first person I met who can mention one of my inventions without getting tongue tied.

Antonia: Okay, lets get to the point, or go to the spot, as the dermatologist would say.

Kowalski: Ha! (Laught) You are really funny. Well, put your hand here. If you have less than or up to 10 virtues, then it means you are normal. If you have more...

Antonia: If I have more, what?

Kowalski: The truth is, I don't know

Antonia: Are you kidding me?

Antonia puts her hand where Kowalski said. The machine takes a picture of her hand, prints a piece of paper while giving results out which say:
NAME: Antonia. AGE: 17 GENDER: Female SPECIES: Human

Kowalski: Now come your virtues

VIRTUES: Gracious, Friendly, Strong, Creative, Imaginative, Intelligent, Sincere, Generous.

Kowalski: Eight virtues. You are norm…

On realising that Antonia and Skipper were looking at the machine open-mouthed, Kowalski turns around and does the same as her.

The piece of paper that seemed to contain 8 virtues had not finished, but continued up until 50 virtues, and then stops.

The piece of paper is printed out and Antonia reads it in hushed voice.

OBSERVATIONS Antonia is NOT normal and IT DOES NOT MEAN SHE IS A FREAK. She is special and the most kind-hearted person in the world.

Antonia looks at the final printed sheet and says to Kowalski:

Antonia: Eeehhm, Kowalski?

Kowalski: (Pick up the virtues paper) Tell me.

Antonia: Is it normal that a machine flatters you?

Kowalski: What?

Kowalski throws away the papers and goes to where Antonia is and reads the printed paper.

Kowalski: I think that the virtues "Pretty" and "innate seducer" ought to be highlighted in red... Oh oh, what have I done.

Kowalski prepares himself to receive a sonorous slap, but instead she says:

Antonia: (leaves the laboratory) Maybe you are right.

Kowalski breathes a sigh of relief and leave the laboratory.

Kowalski: Antonia!

Antonia: What?

Kowalski: Can you stay more days for check you more time?

Antonia: Mmmmmm… Yes. But after one month I have to go to the university. Okay?

Kowalski: Okay. Thank you.
