Chapter 2-Private's 10th birthday
(Private's POV)
We were all at the circus again. I was wearing a clown wig. I hope the others know about my 10th birthday.
Anyway. The song Julien sang often was playing, and everyone except for me and Lafayette, me because I liked the song, and Lafayette because he was wearing headphones, got annoyed by the song.
"That song! I swear, it's gonna make me lose my salmon!" Skipper yelled.
Soon, the singing got louder.
"Singing getting louder, Skipper" Kowalski said.
"Then move faster!" Alexander and Skipper said at the same time.
"Somebody get that wig off Private" Lafayette said, noticing my wig.
Skipper snatched the wig off me.
"Lafayette, I was going to say that as well" Skipper said.
Lafayette didn't hear of course, due to the headphones.
"...somebody get those headphones off Lafayette" Skipper said.
I didn't hear anything else after that, due to Skipper putting the headphones on me. We were soon on a hang-glider, gliding around the city. Lafayette looked at everyone else, excited. The headphones were off of me by then.
"It's a very special day for the youngest penguin!" the French fully clothed penguin, yes, I said fully clothed, said.
Lafayette is the ONLY penguin on our team who wears clothes. He wears historical military ready clothes. He also wears boots. He often carries a sword with him, and his extra long, extremely curly head feathers were always put up in a ponytail or a bun, but mainly a ponytail, like in this case.
Anyway. Skipper began to speak.
"Ten years ago on this very day, a tiny egg hatched, and our world got a little bit cuter" Skipper said.
"So tonight, Private, we celebrate your birthday by infiltrating the United States gold depository at Fort Knox" Skipper said to me.
"Splendid!" Kowalski said.
"What?" Alexander said.
We were soon near the location of the depository.
"There she is, boys. The object of our unholy desire. The butter on our biscuit-" Skipper began.
"Pretty sure I put fish on my biscuit" Alexander interrupted.
"Alexander" Skipper said.
"Sorry" Alexander apologized.
"The royal-" Skipper began again.
"I thought this was America, not France" Lafayette interrupted.
"This is America, Lafayette!" Skipper said.
"Skipper?" I asked.
"Private, what's our rule about interrupting analogies?" Skipper asked.
"Sorry. Please continue" I said.
"The royal flush" Skipper said.
"Skipper, I really think this isn't a good idea" Lafayette said, concerned.
Skipper stared angrily at Lafayette.
"Continue" Lafayette said, his head down.
"The moment's gone. Lafayette ruined it" Skipper said.
"Hey!" Lafayette yelled angrily.
"Sir, we're approaching our target" Kowalski said.
"But Skipper, I really-" I began.
"Are you questioning my leadership?" Skipper asked.
"No, sir" I answered.
"Too bad" Skipper said.
"'Cause I respect a solider with some moxie" Skipper said.
"Really? Then I really think we should-" I began.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Dial back the moxie, sass-mouth!" Skipper said.
"Watch what you're saying to the Private next time, Skipper!" Alexander said.
Skipper looked at me.
"Still so adorable" he said.
I smiled.
We soon landed on top of the building. We saw the guards. Skipper picked up a sleep bomb.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" He said, tossing it to the ground.
We saw the bomb land on the ground.
"8:00. Night-night time" the bomb said before it released gas.
The guards passed out due to the gas. Lafayette immediately jumped on top of the bomb, running as fast as he can to the vault, hiding at some points. We soon all got to the ground, camouflaging ourselves with the white and black stripes on the road. We met up with Lafayette at the vault. We looked at the code box.
"Private, come on!" Skipper said.
I pressed the open button.
"Please enter pass code" the code box said.
"Alexander, attempt to get us in!" Skipper said.
"Luckily, I wrote down the pass code last night!" Alexander said.
He pressed the buttons.
"Incorrect pass code" the code box said.
"HOW IS IT INCORRECT?!" Alexander yelled.
"Alexander, that passcode was from 1981! Passcodes change every decade!" Skipper yelled.
"Kowalski, you're up!" Skipper said.
Kowalski pressed the enter button.
"Please enter pass code" the code box said.
"Rico, sonic incursion device!" Skipper said.
With the device, we all broke into the room.
"Oh, come on, you're kidding, right?" Skipper asked.
"Kentucky, Skipper" Kowalski replied.
"They do love their Flatt and Scruggs" Skipper said.
"Y'all come in now. Y'hear? Have yourself a iced tea" Skipper said in a Kentucky accent while we walked forward.
"Private, if you could have anything you wanted in the whole wide world, what would it be?" Skipper asked me.
"Well, gee, Skipper, I think to be a meaningful and valued member of this team" I replied.
"Well, we got you something else" Skipper said.
We walked until we saw a vending machine.
"A vending machine?" I asked.
"Not just any vending machine, Private" Alexander replied, patting my shoulder.
"The last remaining home in America's nanny home for those succulent but chemically hazardous bits of puffed heaven called..." Skipper said.
"Cheesy Dibbles!" I said happily.
"Happy ding-dong birthday, you little scamp!" Skipper said.
"Thank you!" I said happily.
"You mess with the bull, you're gonna get the horns, Private! Now hit that machine and get your present!" Skipper said, giving me a quarter.
I ran to the machine with the quarter, happy.
"We just broke into the most secure facility in North America. You know what that means? We're wanted criminals who'll be on the lam the rest of our lives, always feeling the hot breath of Johnny Law on our necks? No! It means, as elite units go, we're the elitest of the elite. Top shelf in the bureau! The penultimate plus one!" Skipper said.
While he said that, I was trapped into the machine, screaming.
(Lafayette's POV)
"Where'd Private go" Skipper asked, looking at us and realizing Private was missing.
We looked until Alexander and Kowalski both went up to the machine.
"There he is! D-3!" Alexander said before Kowalski could say the same thing.
"Oh, Private. How much is he?" Skipper asked.
"He's three fifty, sir" Kowalski replied.
"That's outrageous! Even for Private!" Skipper said.
Soon, a tentacle captured Rico, bringing him into the machine.
"Sir, the machine's alive" Kowalski said before a tentacle grabbed onto him.
Alexander grabbed onto Kowalski himself.
"Let go of my friend!" Alexander said angrily.
The tentacle brought Kowalski in the machine. The tentacle then grabbed Alexander.
"LAST ONE IN THE MACHINE IS LUCKY!" Alexander yelled before he was brought into the machine.
Rico got grabbed by the same tentacle, getting dragged into the machine.
"I don't think I like your attitude, vending machine. Or your prices! Release them!" Skipper yelled.
Soon, Skipper was dragged by the same tentacle into the machine. I immediately hid behind a stack of gold. The vending machine walked away. Oh non. I was to follow that machine. So I did. And I had to teleport myself to Venice, Italy. I hope the Penguins are alright. It's a good thing I didn't get trapped in that machine!
Oh my! Almost all the Penguins got trapped in the machine! Where are they now? Venice, Italy, maybe? I do not own Penguins of Madagascar or Hamilton!
