"Wow so you and Skipper.." Marlene trailed off.
"Yea," Private quickly said, "I'm so sorry!"
"For what?"
"I kissed your boyfriend.."
"My boyfriend?"
"You don't date?" Private asked in shock, "But you spend a lot of time together.."
"Yea, but we don't."
"You don't?" Private asked again.
"Nope."
"Does that mean," he paused, "I can date him?"
"Yea," Marlene paused, "You want to date him?"
"I don't know," Private sighed, "I'm so confused.."
"Uh..King Julien.." Kowalski said nervously.
"Yes?"
"W-why, did you ask me to spend the day with you?"
"Because," Julien smiled, "I like you."
Kowalski's heart skipped beats, Is he saying..? Does he? he thought. "In what way do you mean like?"
"I.." Julien grinned, "What's the fun in telling you? You'll have to figure it out."
Kowalski blushed, Why does he make me feel this way?
Skipper shrugged it off. There was no way, he could ever be in love with his soldier. Could there? No! he thought, I don't! But if I do.. he pushed the thought away. "Checkmate!" he said smiling as he moved his piece.
"Damn you!" Yelled the chimp sitting in front of him, "You always win Skippah!"
"Oh come on! You know I don't always win." Skipper smiled, "If you try a little harder, Merry, you might win.. once."
Merry rolled her eyes, "I never really liked chess, you know." she sighed, "I just wish I could win once!"
"Merry, I'm sure you will! You just need practice." he sighed, "I have to go.."
"Skippah, stay for awhile. You always run off after one game." she looked at him closely, "What's bothering ya?"
"Nothing." he said sternly.
"Really, why are you now blushing?"
"What!?" I'm blushing? he thought in panic, "Okay.. I'll tell you.." he sighed, "Me and Private... kissed.."
"Wow.. how was it?" she asked with a smirk.
"I don't know!" he snapped, "I've been thinking of him all day.." he sighed, "I think I.."
Merry shook her head, "You think you might love him." she picked up the two king peices, "You're not sure.. You kissed." she made the kings kiss, "But, you're unsure." the kings turned there backs on each other, "All you have to do, is figure it out. Do you love him or not?" she put down the pieces, and looked at Skipper.
Skipper shrugged, "What's the point?" he sighed, "Either way, he won't feel the same."
Kowalski sighed, "Of all the things I had to do, this is the weirdest possible thing!" he said dramacticly.
"Oh, stop complaining," Julien frowned, "You're just rubbing my feet."
"But, why did I have to do it?" he said madly, "Why can't someone else do it?"
"You're the only one I can trust," Julien smiled.
Kowalski looked up and into Julien's eyes, "You trust me?"
"Yea.."
Kowalski stood up and leaned toward Julien. Julien's eyes widened. Kowalski placed his flippers on either side of Julien. Slowly he pushed his beak to his lips.
Julien slowly wrapped his arms around Kowalski's neck.
