The Return Of The Evil Skipper Robot

Chapter 2

Marlene paced about in her habitat, her paws attached to her head, "come on Marlene, think, what is Skipper afraid of? Hm, I've never known him to be afraid of anything." Marlene said in deep thought, she was so deep in thought that she didn't even hear the penguin himself, slid through the entrance of her habitat.

Skipper jumped onto his webbed feet, he smiled when he seen Marlene, her back was face him though, "Marlene!"

"Gahh, Sk-Skipper can't you learn to knock I was in the middle of doing something." Marlene said annoyed.

Skipper rasied his eye rigde, "oh yeah and what would that be? Didn't look as if you were in the middle of something to me, you were just standing there."

"Well, I was thinking, that's doing something!"

Skipper seemed interested, "About?"

"Nothing of your concern Skipper, anyway what are you here for?"

"You haven't seen the lemurs around, have you? They've been awfully quiet, which arrouses my suspiousion, they haven't even had one of their all night dance parties." Skipper said as he glanced around the cave in thought.

Marlene looked a little nervous, "uh, um no I haven't seen them at all Sk-Skipper," Marlene gave him a fake smile, he raised his eye ridge, but he just shrugged.

"Well, I'm sure they'll turn up at some point and start annoying us again, all I can say is enjoy the peace and quiet while it last." Skipper chuckled.

Marlene nooded,"yeahh."

Skipper could tell something was bothering her, "Marlene, you ok? You seem a little jumpy."

Marlene 's eye's shifted, "uh, of course I'm alright, why wouldn't I be?"

Skipper just starred at her for moment but shrugged, "well, I'll see you later Marlene, let me know if you see those's lemurs. "

Marlene waved as he left, "can do Skipper!" she sighed in relife "whew, that was a close one, now how am I ever going to find out what Skipper's one weakness is?" Marlene felt a little frustraited.

Meanwhile inside the penguins HQ, Skipper had just climbed down and jumped of the ladder, Kowalski approached him first, "so, any sign of the lemurs yet Skipper?"

Skipper turned to the smart penguin, "that's a negitive Kowalski, but I'm sure they'll turn up." He said as he shrugged. He was now more interested in Marlene, she acted way to jumpy for his liking.

Kowalski saw the far of look in Skipper's face, "something wrong Skipper?"

Skipper frowned, "well, it's just I went to see Marlene and she was acting strange."

Kowalski raised an eye ridge as he cluchted the edges of his clip bored, "how strange?"

"I don't know, she seem to act as if she was nervous or something."

"Nervous about what Skippah?" Asked Private in his british ascent.

Marlene was really frustraited now, "oh, come on there's has to be something, maybe I should ask around the zoo." She had her backed turned to the sewer manhole as she wracked her brain out for some answers, the cover opened to reveal the Skipper look a like robot.

He jumped up to his feet, "hehehe, so any luck?"

Marlene gasped and turned round to come face to face with him, "no, I can't think of anything, he's fearless."

Skipper grinned evilly "everyone's afraid of something, well execpt me."

He got closer and closer to Marlene his beak almost touched her nose Marlene's eye's went wide, "I maybe a robot and all, but something is drawning me to you, I don't understand it, I'm not supposed to have what you mammal's call feelings." Marlene gasped.

The Skipper robot frowned, he grabbed and caused her to yelped, but he had covered her mouth quickly,with his other flipper before he yelled out in frustraition, he let go and he spun around away from her, "I'll be back!"

Marlene was speechless, he'd almost kissed her, she watched as he jumped down the sewer,she shook her head and headed outside, she was of to see the chimps, Phil and Mason, their habitat was close by, when she got there she saw them playing a game of checkers.

She jumped into their habitat and saw them sitting in the tree and by the looks of it Phil was winning the game, "Phil, surely you must be cheating, you've never won a game of checkers against me before and your going to start now."

Phil grinned at how frustraited Mason was getting, Marlene looked up at them, "uh, hey Phil Mason, can I talk to you?"

Mason looked down and spotted the otter just below the tree, "oh, hello Marlene, of course you can." he said as they both climbed down the tree.

"How my we be of assistance?"

Marlene thought for a moment, "ok, please don't ask me, why I'm asking you this, but do either of you know what Skipper's afraid off by any chance?" Mason looked a little puzzeled.

"Uh, hm, I can't possibly think of anything, Phil any ideas?" Mason turned to Phil who started doing some sign laugage. "Oh, yes I'd forgot about that," He turned back Marlene who was having a hard trying to figure what Phil was saying, "Phil, say's that he's afraid of needles, if memory serve's me correct we once saw the other penguins chasing Skipper round the zoo just to get a check up at the zoo vet." Marlene was a bit surprized to hear this.

"Thanks, you guy's please don't tell anyone I was asking about this." Marlene said as she left their habitat.

Mason turned to Phil, "that certainly was patculiar, why would Marlene want to know what Skipper is afraid of? Phil do think we should tell the penguins about this?"

Phil nooded and done some sign laugage, "yes, your quite right something could be up, so we'd better warn the penguins, just to be safe."
