Chapter two: Realization

In the otter habitat, Trinity was frozen with shock and surprise. Skipper waved a flipper at her face but chuckled a little bit.

"I'll leave you alone for a while, Marlene." Skipper said as he left.

Trinity finally had conscious and remembered what Skipper said. I love you. It touched her heart. Those three words that she wanted to say to Rico, touched her heart.

'What am I feeling? It's so warm... And... So weird... What is it?' Trinity thought as she blushed and went to bed.

With Arianne, she finally found Marlene near the bushes. Arianne was still in her human form, comforting Marlene. Marlene was crying softly as Arianne shushed her.

"Marlene... It's alright. He thought Trinity was you..." Arianne explained.

"But... You heard him..."

"Yes I heard him say I love you but it was meant for you. You weren't there to hear those three words said to you." Arianne said as she curled her hand into a fist.

"But... How couldn't he notice that wasn't me?" Marlene asked as she buried her face in her paws.

"Marlene, don't cry anymore... I'll bring you back to your home now." Arianne said as she used her board to get there.

As she arrived at the otter habitat, she carefully placed Marlene, who fell asleep in her hands, on her bed. She smiled softly as she left. She made herself into a penguin again and returned to base.

In the penguin habitat, Kowalski wasn't doing anything but sitting on the cinder block with Private and Rico. Skipper, who was curious, looked at them. Arianne arrived with a sad face that was the same like Kowalski's and the two.

"What happened to you?" Skipper asked.

Arianne glared at him and gave him a hard slap. Skipper rubbed his sore cheek as Arianne went to her bunk. Skipper took a glance at his cousin then to the three.

"What?"

"Skipper, you confessed to the wrong otter earlier." Kowalski explained.

"I was sure that was Marlene."

"No it wasn't." Private said.

"Huh?"

"You confessed to Trinity." Arianne said, leaving her bunk and joining the conversation.

"I what?!"

"Yup. I found Marlene near the bushes with some female birds. She said she overheard you saying I love you to Trinity. She felt heart-broken and that's why she ran away from the zoo." Arianne explained.

"Why didn't you guys stop me?!"

"Because some penguins made me stop on my chase for you." Arianne glared at the three, who just avoided eye-contact with her.

"But... Why?"

"Look. I was going to stop you but the three went in my way. When we arrived, it was too late. You confessed to Trinity."

"And Marlene was still healing from her heart-break." Private added.

With Marlene and Trinity, it was true. Marlene was still healing from her heart-break. Little did Marlene knew, her roommate was still awake. Couldn't sleep because of Skipper's confession. She felt so loved. Not like her parents or her teammates.

'No... I can't be falling for Skipper... Then I would loose my best friend... Then she'll be mad at m-'

"Trinity? You're still awake?" Marlene asked, rubbing her eyes to remove every tears.

"Yeah... I couldn't help staying awake. I feel like a nightmare to you." Trinity said.

"Not really... I feel like you two belong together. And I'm the nightmare." Marlene said.

"You're not a nightmare, Marlene. You're Skipper's dream. And Antonio's and Julien's."

"How did you know Antonio?"

"I met him when I was taking a morning walk."

"Oh..."

"Anyways, if you thought I would answer Skipper, then you're wrong. Marley, you're like a sister to me that I wouldn't fight with."

"Thanks."

"Well... Goodnight, Marley. You need some sleep." Trinity said as she went to bed.

"Night." Marlene said as she laid her head on her pillow and finally got some shut-eye.

Back at the penguin habitat, Arianne was face-flippered because of her cousin's stupidity. Private rubbed her back as he went to his bunk, followed by Rico and Kowalski.

"Look. If you don't get to Marlene's first thing in the morning, I'll get you a treatment with needle." Arianne threatened.

"No!"

"Then go to your bunk so you could confess to the right otter!"

"Alright! Geez."

And so Skipper went to his bunk, with Arianne following him. Arianne looked at him before she left the base. She sat on the edge of the platform and began thinking.

'What if Trinity falls for Skipper? Then I would have my worst enemy as cousin-in-law! No... I gotta stop her from falling for him.' Arianne thought as she looked up at the night sky.
