A/N: I'm ill :C Hence the idea. I think that real penguins don't catch the cold but nevermind that. More Kipper in the next part. The bunnies from Operation: Neighbor Swap and the monster bunny from The Return of the Revenge of Dr. Blowhole.
Skipper and Private are talking to Kowalski via a walkie-talkie.
Honey bunnies - part 1
Kowalski tossed in his bunk, searching for the best position to fall asleep. He had got the flu with all its symptoms: fever, runny beak, sore throat and body pains. Left alone, since the team was on a mission, the penguin wondered why Skipper didn't let him see the vet. He would recover faster.
"Kowalski, options!" the leader's voice dragged the scientist out from his thoughts and he reached for the walkie-talkie which was placed next to him. "On my way to the monitoring, sir. Describe your position." He grunted quietly, getting up. It took few seconds until the room stopped spinning and he was able to crawl to the telly and switch on the channel with zoo cameras.
"Shop district. They joined their boss, one to my guts, zero to Kowalski." Kowalski frowned, looking through the monitoring. Finding his team, he zoomed in the right screen. Near to the souvenir shop the penguin commando was fighting against karate bunnies. The ones from the Petting Zoo. Among them was a big deformed one which was destroying everything on its way. Skipper believed that this monster was Blowhole's creation. The penguins were losing and they needed a good plan to change the situation.
"No time for lullabies, Kowalski!" Skipper got impatient.
The penguin by the screen was trying hard to come up with a plan but the headache didn't help him at all. "I don't know, Skipper."
"Come on, Kowalski! The team relies on you. I rely on you! Don't let me down. Your mind will win with body weakness."
"It doesn't work like that..." He coughed. "Of course! The monster's body changed but it's still a bunny. Afraid of its natural foes, like foxes, weasels, some species of birds and dogs. Eliminate the boss first, the rest will panic."
"And where do I get these animals from, genius?"
"Take plushies."
"Okay. Well done, soldier. Over and out."
Kowalski smiled lightly at Skipper's compliment, watching as Rico scalped three plushies. The dressed up team beat up the monster and, as Kowalski expected, the rest of the bunnies capitulated.
Private picked up the walkie-talkie and asked: "How are you feeling, K'walski?"
"So so, foxie." He coughed again.
Private giggled at the new nickname since he had the fox disguise but turned worried hearing the cough. "You didn't cough earlier."
"The flu is developing."
"Skippah said that we'll be heading back as soon as we get rid of the big bad bunny. I'll make you a nice cuppa."
"Sounds great. Over and out." Tea was definitely the idea of the day. Private's tea was good. With lemon and honey.
Kowalski laid down on the floor, too weak to creep back to his bunk. The coldness of it was like a bliss for his feverish body. He closed his eyes and didn't bother with opening them as he heard the fishbowl moving, assuming that the penguins were back. He learnt how wrong he had been as soon as he was carried away from the H.Q and the autumn's wind blew in his face.
