"Well?" Kowalski's voice was eager. "Open it!"
Kelsa opened the card.
Dear Kelsa,
The feelings I express for you are similar to those that Skipper has expressed for Millie, though of a possible lower intensity.
Sincerely,
Kowalski
Kelsa looked a bit confused. She didn't want to hurt Kowalski's feelings, though…
"I love it." she said, giving the tall penguin a hug, cracking a fake smile.

Millie opened her card carefully.
Dear Millie,
I would love to date you, but I am sorry that our relationship must end. I'm in love with another animal, and her name is Marlene.
Love,
Skipper
Millie sighed and ripped the card in half. Skipper came over and sat beside her.
"I was going to make you a card," he said. "But I decided I'd rather just tell-"
Millie stormed off, throwing the now card confetti at the leader penguin.
"What? Millie?" Skipper called after her.

Ella skipped to the penguin's habitat. Kowalski was out there, working on an invention. He looked almost exactly the same that Ella remembered.
"Oh, hi Marlene." he said (as Ella looked exactly like her sister).
"Hi Kowalski." Ella sat down beside the tall penguin.
"This is a shr-" Kowalski was cut off as Ella leaped on him.
"What are you-" Then the otter pulled his head to hers and they kissed.
That's when Kelsa came in.
"Uh!" she said furiously, stomping away.
Kowalski pushed Ella off of him. "Kelsa!" he called. "Kelsa, you don't understand."
"Oh, I understand! I understand perfectly!" she said.
"Kels-"
"Don't talk to me! Just… go away!" Kelsa turned away, sobbing lightly.
Kowalski sighed. Where did that otter go?
***
Lola was in her habitat with Jeremy. She was chomping on an oyster when a carrier penguin flew down. It tossed a paper at her and flew off.
Lola looked at the paper. It showed a very sloppy drawing of a penguin with feathers on his head. He was holding hands with an otter that looked more like a rat. And a heart that was more like a circle was above it, with the word "Luv" in it.
He held the paper against her chest. "Rico." she breathed.
Aww! I got the idea cause when I was little, I drew pictures of dogs and cats holding hands. Above them there would be a heart with the word "Luv" (I wasn't the best speller).
Keep tuned for the next chapter!
