Thank-you for the reviews. They mean so much to me, now I have confident on writing stories. I do not own Penguins of Madagascar, except for my character, Kelly, which I made up, yep; I made her up all on my own. Aren't you proud of me, lol.

Skipper didn't know what to say. 'There is no way that Kelly turned into a ba-ba-ba……. I can't even say it.'

Skipper looked at Kelly who stared back at him, and then she let out a cute little giggle. Skipper looked back at Kowalski.

"How did this happen?" he cried.

"I must of mixed up a wire in the time machine. I'll just have to see what went wrong and fix it." Kowalski said as he handed the baby to Private.

"You do that, in the mean time, the rest of us will…….uh………" In the last word, Skipper said it dryly. "Baby-sit."

"Here are the stuff were going to need." Kowalski handed the list to Rico. "See if you can go find this stuff."

Rico saluted and headed out.

"And here are the instructions on how to take care of the baby." Kowalski continued while handing Skipper a stack of paper.

Skipper looked at the smart penguin in surprise. 'How dose he know-' Skipper shook his head. 'On second thought, I don't think I even want to know.'

"Okay let's see what we got here…." He read silently through the list. His eyes growing bigger and bigger. Once he was done he looked up at Kowalski, bugged eyed. In fact, his eyes were so big, it looked like they were about to fall out. "All of this just for one baby?!?"

Kowalski just shrugged.

"This isn't right, there is no way a baby could need all of this stuff." Skipper muttered to himself, and then he cleared his thought. " Okay…….Nap time and lullaby…….that's Privates territory……….Play time……….all of us……bath…….need two soldiers for that mission, so …… Private and I will take care of that………Feeding…..Rico will do the meal and the feeding……Burping?" Skipper looked up to Rico who just came in with a sack full of stuff." Rico, Do you know how to burp?"

Rico nodded and gave out a loud belch. Kowalski, Skipper, Private all gave him a disgust look. Kelly just squeals in delight.

"I meant the baby." Rico put his flipper up to his chin and thought about it, then shook his head. Skipper sighed. "Fine, I'll do it."

Just then Kelly let out some gas and started crying. All the penguins grabbed their noses and went "ewe."

Skipper, still holding his nose, looked at the list. "Who's on diaper duty?"

"Uh…..no one sir. You didn't assign anyone to it." Kowalski whispered in his ear.

"Okay……Private."

"Private's just a boy."

"Rico."

"Do you really trust a penguin who loves to blow things up handle this job?"

"Kelly?"

"Did you forget who the baby is?"

"Marline?"

"Marline is busy cleaning her house and told us not to disturb her…And before you ask. Mort is too young. Maurice goes crazy when near something that smells and Julien doesn't want to ruin his manicure."

"But…..that just leave……me."

"Bingo."

"Cant we just hire a babysitter like good parents do?"

"Negative Skipper, we don't know any babysitters. Unless you want the whole room to stink up and have Kelly get a bad rash, you're going to have to do it."

Having no choice, Skipper took Kelly into the bathroom. She did stop crying but she was whimpering a little.

Skipper looked around the room trying to find a spot to lay the baby down. Noticing some towels laying by the shower, he got an idea.

Laying the baby on the floor. "Stay right there." He unfolded the towels, laying them across the floor. Finally, he picks the baby back up and gently laid her on the towel.

"There ya go."

Sighing as he picked up the piece paper that has the instructions. "Let's get this over with." Grabbing a clean diaper, he places it underneath the dirty one. Removing the straps and the front flap of the diaper, he wasn't ready for the mother of all smells.

"HOLEY FREAKING RICO IN BALLET SLIPPER'S"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skipper turned his head away from the smell; his face was green as the forest. 'Be brave soldier.' Gulping his lunch back down, he held his breath as he turned back to the baby. Skipper gently grab the baby's ankle with one flipper and raise them, with the other flipper, he removed the dirty diaper and quickly, threw it into the trashcan. As he let out a gasp for air, he see's Kelly giggling at him.

"Oh, you think this is funny?" Sighing in relief. "Well, at least the hard part is over. Let's see what else we have to do." After reading the instructions for the second time that day, he slams the papers down with narrow eyes.

"This keeps getting better and better." He grabbed a few baby wipes. "I knew I had responsibility for my team, I didn't think I had to change a soldier's diaper!"

Skipper wiped front to back on Kelly's-you know, lets not really go there. I think you can guess what Skipper is doing right now.

After putting the clean dipper on, Skipper gave a big cheer. "Finally done!"

Kelly let out another big gas.

"AWWW, COME ON!!!"

Instead of crying, Kelly let out a giggle, you'd think she was doing this on purpose.

…………………………………………..

After changing her for the second time, Skipper came out of the bathroom, carrying Kelly.

"Operation stinky diaper is success……finally. Kowalski, status report on the time machine."

"I just finish rewiring the cables, I should be able to fire this baby up after I put it back together, but I'll need help doing that."

"I'll be right there." Skipper turned to Private and handed him the baby. " I hope you're ready for your little playmate, because she's ready for you."

Skipper was expecting Private to jump up and down, exclaiming he gets to play with the baby, but all Private did was give a glum look.

"Yes sir." He took the baby and walked away.

Now this wasn't the Private Skipper was use to and when Private doesn't act like himself, which worries Skipper.

"Private, what's wrong?"

"Nothing sir."

Private always opens his feelings to the other penguins, but when he try's to hide his feelings, you know something major is bothering him.

Skipper was about to say something, when he notice Kowalski motioning him to come over.

"Private is upset with this situation. He fears that Kelly is going to be stuck like this forever."

Skipper nods "I'll talk to him once we get this machine going."

Skipper and Kowalski got right to work. (AN: I don't know anything about tools, so I'm not going to explain what there doing. I'm just going to skip that part.) Once they were done, they took a step back admiring their work. Sure, they were sweaty, tired, and covered with grime, but at least they can change Kelly back to normal.

"Okay." Kowalski started to say as he handed Skipper a towel and got one for himself. He wipes the grime off of his feathers. "Lets see if this works."

He sat the towel down on the table and went to start up the machine. It started humming, but then the humming went off and on, sparks popped out like fireworks, and smoke began to rise.

Kowalski stared at the machine wide eyed. "Oh, this cant be good."

He grunted as he felt someone knocked him to the floor, away from the machine, just as it exploded.

Skipper and Kowalski stared at the machine in disbelief. Rico was jumping up and down, clapping his hands, laughing madly. He suddenly stops when he notice Kelly's terrified face.

"Uh oh"

Kelly screamed and cried out so loud, you can barley here yourself think.

"Private! Calm the baby down!" Skipper yelled through the noise.

"I'm trying." Private yelled back. He rocked the baby gently while trying to comfort her with his soothing voice. "Shhhh. It's okay, it's alright." But she kept on crying.

"Rico! Make Kelly laugh!" Rico looked at Kowalski with a strange look. "Just do it! Babies love to laugh!"

Rico stood in front of Kelly and made lots of silly faces. Kelly stop crying when she saw him, then her crying turned into laughter. Rico was definitely enjoying this, so kept on making silly faces.

As Skipper and Kowalski stood up and dusted themselves off. Skipper was dying to know the truth.

"Okay, out with it Kowalski. How do you know so much about babies?"

"Oh…………..um………………." Kowalski looked very uncomfortable. "This show had a special episode about babies." He said as nervously as he fidgets with his flippers.

"And…….this show would be….?" Skipper raised an eyebrow as he tried to get more information out of him.

Kowalski felt his face growing very warm. Right now, he wishes he were somewhere else.

"Oprah Winfrey Show." He said in a quite voice, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

It was silence in the room; you can hear a pin drop. All eyes were on Kowalski, even the baby was looking at him.

Suddenly, Skipper snorted and it turned into laughter, Rico join in. Kelly started laughing too, had no idea what's going on, but hey, she was happy and in a playful mood. Private already knew that Kowalski watches that show, but he wont let Private watch it with him, explaining that he was too young for this show. Private looked over at Kowalski who was both annoyed and embarrassed at the fact that Rico and Skipper were laughing at him.

'Maybe this is why Kowalski made me promise him not to tell the others about his secret obsession with Oprah Winfrey.' Private thought, feeling bad for Kowalski.

"Can we just get back to business." Kowalski said in a low, annoyed, growling voice.

"Alright, alright." The laughter died down.

…………………………

All day they had spent on was taking care of the baby. Now Private was humming a lullaby while he rocks the baby to sleep. After setting her down on the couch with pillows surrounding the baby so she won't fall off.

The boys sighed in relief. Taking care of a baby was exhausting, now the boys had nothing to do but to relax.

Kowalski leaned against the machine, but that was a bad idea, because of the movement, some of the tools were rolling towards the edge. He gasps in horror as a wrench and a screw driver were coming down. He quickly caught those two, but more were coming.

Private came running with a pillow, he dive forward just in time for the tools to fall into the pillow. He thought that was the last of it, so he stood up, but one more came down and landed on his foot.

Before Private could scream in pain, Skipper clamp his beck shut, Rico threw up a paper bag and held it out for Private who quietly screams into it, filling the bag up with air. Rico quickly tied the bag up with string and swallowed the bag.

Finally, the penguins can rest in peace knowing that-

BANG!

"Hello neighbors! Just came over to borrow some of your food!" Julien came barging in using his loud voice unaware of the sleeping baby.

The penguins looked at Julien and then, in horror, at Kelly who was tossing and turning. Skipper quickly slid up to Julien and started shushing him.

"How dare ya…SHHHHHHH….at your King!" Skipper kept on shushing him, looking nervously at Kelly who was growing frustrated. "No! You can't tell the king, which is me, to shush. I can make all the noise I want! See! LALALALALALALALALALALALLALALALAL!LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

That did it. Kelly woke up crying.

Skipper groaned in frustration. "Way to go ringtail!" Since he was the closet one to Kelly, he picked her up and started compherting her Soon she stopped crying. "Do you know how hard we work to get her to sleep?"

Julien paid no attention to him; he was looking at the baby.

"Awwwww! How cute! Is she yours?"

"No. This happens to be Kelly."

Julien looked blankly at Skipper, then at Kelly, then Skipper, the other penguins, back at Kelly, then back at Skipper.

"I'm sorry, but wasn't she taller."

Maurice looked confused too.

"I thought Kelly was eight years old, not eight months old. What happen?"

"That's classified"

But Private had a different answer. "It's all because of Kowalski's machine." Private wasn't mad at Kowalski, he knew it wasn't his fault, he was mad at the machine.

Skipper glared at Private. "Doesn't anyone respect the word classified anymore!" Kelly giggled then started sucking on her flipper. "Here" Handed the baby to Julien. "Hold Kelly while I get her bottle."

Julien looked at the baby in disgust, and then sat her down next to Mort.

"Here's your new playmate that you always wanted."

"Yay! I like new playmates!" Mort Started playing with the baby.

Julien turned to Skipper who was looking for Kelly's bottle in the fridge. "Why not feed your King, my kingly stomach is hungry."

"You got your own food." He responded without looking up.

"Yes…but-"

"Skipper! I've got the time machine working, we can change Kelly back!"

"Great! Lets feed the baby then we can-" When Skipper turn towards Julien, he gasp and dropped the bottle. "Where's the Baby!?!"

Julien turns to Mort who smiles and points at the open door.

"Great Davey Jones! Why didn't you stop her?!?"

"I thought she might want some fresh air." Mort said truthfully.

Julien turns back to Skipper "You are a bad baby-sitter."

Skipper was about to say some not so nice words to him, when a panic Private grabbed his flipper.

"We have to go out there and find Kelly!"

"Right. I'm sure she hasn't gone too far."

"We have to hurry." Kowalski said in his panic voice. "According to my calculations, Kelly insides, at this moment, are growing back to her regular size, and because of her small body it will be a tight fit, and that's not good for the body. In other words, if we don't change Kelly back to normal by sundown, she will die.

Everyone in the room gasp in horror.

Wow, that was my best cliff hanger ever……I'm right? Huh,huh,huh,huh,huh,huh,huh,huh,huh,huh,huh,huh. Yep, I'm hyper; have to be if I'm writing a comedy, that and because I wanted a pop. Anyway, I don't own the Oprah Winfrey Show, but I do owe a special thanks to my mom for being a fan of Oprah Winfrey. I'll try not to take to long to write chapter 3. Please read and review.
