Chapter 2

Reading Lessons

Kowalski was in his lab looking at all the test tubes. He had come up with a plan and a strategy a week ago but no... he still couldn't read, when suddenly... got it! He ran to get Linsey who was preforming ballet. She is so graceful... Kowalski sighed as he whought this. For a moment he waited, before the zoo closed and then he continued in making his was back the other penguins. "Um... Linsey... could I ask you for a favour?" he asked the beautiful female penguin who stood in line waiting for fish to come. She turned round to face Kowalski. "Okay, you mind waiting five minutes?" she replied. Kowalski shook his head. He had all the time in the world. He would do anything for Linsey.

The fish arrived in two minutes and the penguins finished off their food three minutes later. "So what do you want me to do?" Linsey asked, kissing Kowalski on his cheek. He quickly went over his speech in his head. "Do you... mind ...i ...if you taught me to re-ead?" Kowalski stuttered. He felt embarressed. "No... I don't mind and I have plenty of time to teach you this skill," she replied smilling. "Mind starting... now?"

"No... not at all..." Kowalski replied. He was so excited about learning how to read. Linsey was the only penguin who could read and Kowalski didn't want to trouble her about this. He followed Linsey into the HQ where he found a nursery booklet and a paper with the alphabet.

"So you start of by reciting the alphabet," Linsey said. Kowalski had known the alphabet and learnt it before, making it possible to recite it quite well, the third time. "Okay, you did get that pretty quickly!" Linsey exclaimed. Kowalski blushed. "So now we move on to recognising the basic shapes of all the letters of the alphabet, it's like maths," linsey said. Kowalski did like the sound of maths.

By the end of the day, they got to the letter K, which is impressive even for a penguin - and we all know penguins are smart! "Your doing great love, what about learning the rest of that tommorow," Linsey finally said as she saw that behind Kowalski's excited face was tiredness. He yawned. "Okay, Linsey," he said with sigh. "What if we have dinner?"

"Do you want sushi, or noodles, or some home made tuna meal," Linsey replied.

"I would like to taste one of your homemade meals," Kowalski chose. Linsey nodded with a smile. "My mother taught me the recipey, anyways, I will start preparing it, mind getting the others and some drink?" Linsey asked.

"Nope, I'll be on it!" Kowalski smiled and kissed Linsey on the cheek. The he hurried off do fetch the food and the three penguins, four lemurs and the otter. This would be one huge dinner party. Even with Julien it would be exciting.

Linsey started humming a couple of human songs. With a smile she set off to her cooking, Ever since she met Kowalski the world turned for the better. She may have lost her family and loved ones, but she found other loving animals and a whole community of cheerful children she helped cheering up. She could start off a new family, she thought blushing. Though she knew Kowalski, which meant that that might be risky, especially with all his experiments. But she did think that was a negative thing, she adored him all the more for his curiousity. One thing that would be really bad though, would be if he tried to make something extinct to come alive.

Little did dhe knew, Kowalski had been working on something that could possibly take them back in time and back to the present without destroying the whole universe. Fortunately, he was too busy to mind it... for now...

I know this chapter was short, but I will find time, sometime, to create a longer chapter... hopefully! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please review.
