Chapter 3-Things get fishy

When everyone put on their space helmets and left the Penguin One, Skipper looked at Kowalski.
"I'll check on you. Now" he said to him.
"Okay" Kowalski said.
He felt another pain.
For a few minutes in the Penguin One, Skipper ran a lot of tests on Kowalski so that he would know what's wrong.
Soon, after the results of the final test popped up, Skipper gasped.
"Kowalski, there's something you should know" he said to Kowalski.
"Yes?" Kowalski said.
Skipper whispered something to Kowalski.
Kowalski gasped in surprise.
"But don't tell anyone. Okay?" Skipper said.
"Got it!" Kowalski said.
Once Skipper and Kowalski left the Penguin One, they met up with the rest of the group.
"Okay, Kowalski, you can tell Private and Rico. No one else!" Skipper said.
"Okay" Kowalski said.
He walked over to Private and Rico.
"Guys, there's something you want to know" he said to them.
"Okay!" Rico said.
"What is it?" Private said.
Kowalski whispered something to Private and Rico.
They both gasped.
"What?! That's impossible!" Private yelled.
"I know, right?! It is impossible! But it happened to me anyway!" Kowalski said.
Rico said something only the penguins understood.
"Yes, Rico. You have to keep it a secret!" Kowalski replied.
"Okay!" Rico said.
"Got it!" Private said.
The Penguins, Marlene, and Julien all went to an area of Mars.
Kowalski was using a scanner.
Everyone saw a purple rock that stood out the rest of the rocks.
Kowalski scanned it with the scanner.
"This appears to be an egg of an extraterrestrial life form" he said to everyone.
"So that means there are aliens?" Private asked, feeling worried.
Kowalski pulled out his abacus, and slid the beads on it for a while.
"There's a 50% chance that it's an alien, and a 50% chance that it's just a group of trillions of Martian bacteria" he said.
Just then, Skipper was heard screaming.
"Uh, guys, someone went MIA!" Marlene said.
Everyone turned around and saw that Skipper was not with the group.
"Skippah!" Private yelled.
Kowalski looked around to find some clues.
"Yes! I found a clue!" he said.
Everyone went over to where Kowalski went.
"There seems to be some purple stuff on the ground" Kowalski said.
"Could be something from an alien" Private said.
Rico sniffed the strange purple stuff.
"Nope" he said, shaking his head.
"What's the smell of the stuff?" Private asked.
"Sweet" Rico said.
"It could be frosting" Private said.
Kowalski used the scanner.
"No. It's not edible" he said.
He continued using the scanner until he gasped.
"Alien tracks! Skipper got captured by an alien!" he yelled in fear.
"Eh, we need to find more clues. One clue isn't enough" Julien said.
"Alright! Guys, search for more clues! I'll take a sample of the purple stuff and study it!" Kowalski said.
40 minutes later, everyone came back with the clues.
"I found more alien eggs. One them had the print of a penguin flipper" Marlene said.
"I found a strand of weird, rubbery hair. Weird, rubbery purple hair" Julien said.
"I found a trail of turquoise sand!" Private said.
Rico said something only everyone else understood.
Kowalski studied every clue.
He then gasped.
"About the alien egg with the flipper print, the flipper that touched that egg was Skipper's flipper!" Kowalski said.
Marlene gasped in worry.
"The strand of so-called 'hair' is actually a tiny tentacle of a small extraterrestrial creature, possibly an alien" Kowalski said.
"And the rocks were rocks that, if someone steps on them, grabs the aliens' attention!" Kowalski said.
Rico gasped.
"So Skipper did get captured by an alien! Maybe a hundred of them! I mean, these aliens are quite small, so….." Kowalski said.
"I bet the trail of sand leds to where Skipper is!" Private said.
Everyone nodded.
They all followed Private to the trail of sand.
"Follow the trail!" Private said.
Everyone walked along the trail.
Once they reached the end of the trail, they saw a cave.
"Get in the cave!" Private said.
Everyone followed Private to the cave.
Everyone had to rescue Skipper once and for all!


Meanwhile, in a room in the cave, Skipper woke up to find small creatures looking at him.
They were all yelling about something.
Skipper remembered touching a purple rock before he got captured.
But by whom?
He looked at the aliens.
"Where am I?!" Skipper asked.
The aliens looked at him.
One of them spoke something that only the other aliens understood.
"Where?" Skipper asked.
Skipper looked around.
He was in a cave.
A room in a cave!
He saw a tunnel.
It was the perfect escape route.
But when Skipper tried to run, something stopped him.
He turned around to see that he was in chains.
"Let me go!" He yelled.
The aliens yelled at him.
Skipper looked at them.
They were yelling about something.
But what?
Skipper doesn't speak alien.
Nor does he understand alien.
He screamed.


Meanwhile, back at the main entrance, everyone heard the scream.
"It's Skipper!" Private said.
Everyone ran over to an area with 40 tunnels.
"This is getting fishy" Private said.
He and the rest of the group sighed, and slapped their foreheads in disappointment.


Uh oh. Way too many tunnels in the area! Which tunnel led to Skipper? How will everyone find out which tunnel is which? Will everyone rescue Skipper on time?
