Skipper woke up in his bunk the next morning and almost completely forgot about what happened the day before.

"good morning Skipper" Kowalski said. After he said that he flinched.

"good morning Kowalski" Kowalski blinked. "what?"

"n-nothing sir it's just you don't normally call me by my name I thought you forgot it" Kowalski flinched again like he was afraid Skipper was going to hit him. Skipper looked at his calendar. Normally Skipper crossed of the dates when it passed but yesterday's date wasn't crossed off.

"what's today?" Skipper asked.

"um…Tuesday" It should be Wednesday.

"where's the rest of the team?" Skipper asked.

"Rico is cleaning the guns like you always tell him to do and McGee is scanning the internet for any signs of Blowhole Hans or Johnson" okay so Johnson is still the enemy but Blowhole? Isn't he dead? And Hans is dead too.

"Where's Private and Heather? Who's McGee? What happened to Manfredi?" Skipper asked franticly. Then he remembered something. Heather's wishing stone couldn't have real magic could it?

"Are you alright sir? I have no idea who Manfredi Heather of Private is but McGee is our probationary officer. He's been here for over 10 years now sir" Kowalski said. Skipper sat down at the table. He really never met Manfredi before. Kowalski sat in the chair across from Skipper

"okay so hypothetically if someone made a wish that they never met someone and it came true how much of it would change?" Skipper asked Kowalski. Kowalski thought about it for a while.

"possibly nothing but maybe everything sir" Skipper sighed. He thought about everything that happened because of Manfredi. First thing that came to his mind was Private was saved by Manfredi when he was an egg. So Private is dead. Skipper needed to get things back to where they were. Another thing is if Manfredi never saved Private then Private never was in England what happened with Nigel and the Red Squirrel?

"What is going on right now?" Skipper asked.

"well to answer that, boss, there has been a Johnson sighting right outside the zoo gates" McGee said.

"isn't McGee that special agent on NCIS?" Skipper asked. Kowalski and McGee looked at each other.

"we don't know you blocked every channel except for the news, boss" McGee said. That's not like Skipper. He left the channels unblocked because his team liked watching those stupid criminal investigation shows or you know in Heather and Private's case the Lunicorns.

"good morning Skipper" Rico said. His face wasn't even scared. How the heck was that Manfredi's fault?

"good morning Rico. Where's Marlene or Ringtail?" Skipper asked. The guys exchanged looks. Obviously the Skipper without Manfredi in his life was completely different then the Skipper with Manfredi.

"we don't associate with the other residents of the zoo" McGee said.

"okay…so say I was from a different world" Skipper started. The three took a step away from him. "no not like different planet. More like in the sense of a made a wish and it changed everything on the planet"

"that's crazy" Kowalski said after he said that he flinched like he thought Skipper was going to start beating on him.

"Kowalski I'm not going to hit you" they all gasped.

"he really is from a different planet" McGee whispered to Rico.

"well it could be entirely possible that this is a fake world" Kowalski said. then he slapped himself. "nope it's real. Sir what all do you remember before you came into our world"

"Heather gave e a wishing rock because Marlene broke up with me. I made a stupid wish that killed Private and possibly made more enemies for us"

"boss did you say the otter broke up with you? You dated the otter" McGee said.

"I'm still lost on the fact that he even remembered most of our names" Rico said.

"I think you need to find this Heather and get another wishing stone from her" Kowalski said.

"but that's another thing. If Manfredi was never alive then Heather never escaped Blowhole. Boys I think we have a prisoner to visit" McGee raised his flipper.

"yes new guy" Skipper said.

"I'm only a probationary officer I can't work in the field" he said

"you've been here for ten years and your still a probie?" Skipper asked. McGee nodded. "that's sad come on men" they followed Skipper out of the H.Q. and on their way to Coney Island to see if Heather was still there and had a wishing stone. Maybe Manfredi had a big impacted on Heather too. After all Heather and Manfredi were like father and daughter. Maybe Manfredi was the reason she was the cute and cuddly penguin she is today (even if she was human). That's another thing that crossed Skipper's mind, if Kowalski never met Heather then he never turned her into a penguin. When they got to Blowhole's evil lair Skipper kicked down the door.

"where is she Blowhole?" Skipper demanded.

"well well well Pen-goo-wins…actually I don't even have an evil plan yet why are you here" Blowhole looked to Kowalski who just shrugged.

"you kidnapped a girl when she was four years old where is she"

"how did you even know about that? At any rate she's gone"

"did you kill her?" Kowalski asked.

"no I didn't kill her I realized that she was not important to me" Blowhole said.

"no your lying what really happened?" Skipper said.

"fine you got me she escaped. I guess being alone all her life made her dark and insane. Even if she was important to me I wouldn't want to mess with her"

"so that's it we'll never be able to find her" McGee said.

"nope I know where she is" Skipper said.

"really how?" Blowhole asked.

"in the real world my son killed you and is married to Heather" Skipper explained.

"well that's…slightly disturbing. Why would you tell me that I'm really dead" Blowhole seemed hurt by that comment but Skipper didn't really care.

"you know I'm still wondering what happened with agent Nigel and the Red Squirrel" Skipper said which was a big mistake because after he said it a bunch of agents from Nigel's unit came in and surrounded them. "this could be a problem" Skipper mumbled to his men.

Hey Guys,

So not much to say. The reason why this chapter is up the same day the last chapter got up is because I got really bored in lunch. (I don't eat) so um yeah Manfredi had a huge impact on Skipper's life and I'll get the next chapter up soon(probably not as soon as this one but you get the idea) let me know what you think.
