Chapter 3

Hi! I decided that in this chapter, the penguins will learn a bit more about the girls. Enjoy!

I will NEVER own PoM...

After a while of consideration, they had realized that while the girls probably knew a lot about the penguins, the penguins knew nothing about the girls. So they promptly sat down in front of the television, and started talking.

"We have lots more friends in our club. It's just that my mom said I could only take three friends" Tara said. Skipper looked intruiged.

"And I suppose that their code names are the same as our friends?" he stated plainly. Jessica nodded.

"We even have our very own Dr. Blowhole. The only problem is that he's Emily's boyfriend" she explained plainly.

"Why is that a problem? She's not really me, and he's not really Blowhole" Kowalski inquired. Bria snorted.

"That may be, but during meetings we call each other by our code names" she explained. The penguins still looked confused, so Tara decided to enlighten them.

"Try having to say-" she began, but cut herself off as she stood. She put on a fake angry expression, and wagged her finger at the rest of them.

"'Kowalski! Blowhole! Stop making out this instant!'" she finished, earning a chuckle from everyone.

"Point taken" Skipper said as Tara sat back down.

"But he's still pretty nice. You know, when we're not acting out scenes from either your real lives or fanfiction" Jessica joked.

"By the way, what is a fanfiction like?" Private inquired. Emily was the first to reply.

"Think of it this way. Let's say you have something you've always wanted to see happen on your favorite TV show, or someone else's life, if your psychics like us, but you know it probably won't. Fanfiction is like an outlet for those ideas. Even though they may not happen really, people can still read them, and they may even like them" she explained. Kowalski cocked his head, intruiged.

"So, there are people who think me and Private should get together... And you're some of them, right?" he inquired, though it was more of an observation. Tara shrugged.

"Something like that. But that's not the weirdest thing people think should happen. Some people think that Blowhole and Skipper should fall for each other" she said, figuring that would be enough proof that they weren't the craziest.

Skipper shuddered, clearly picturing the image in his mind, and doing so vividly.

"That... I don't know what to say to that" he said finally. Jessica nodded in agreement.

"You guys wanna read one?" Bria asked, thinking it wouldn't do much harm.

"Sure" the four penguins said. Tara pulled out her iPhone, and promptly connected to the internet.

"Here's a good one" she said immediately after going into her Pocket Fiction app. (*)

It was called 'Untitled' Tara assured them that it was to go with the summary.

After about forty-five minutes, the penguins had finished reading. Despite the pairing, they had to say it was quite well-written.

"So, I thought you girls liked Skipper and Marlene, and me and Private?" Kowalski said, an unasked question in the air. And they knew what it was.

"Oh, we do. Tara's the only one of us who actually bothers with other pairings" Emily explained.

"Why don't you girls like other pairings?" Private asked, thinking something had to have happened in a certain fiction or whatever.

"We just don't like moving around frantically, trying to decide if this fiction should be one pairing or another" Emily answered plainly.

"But Tara doesn't mind" Bria added.

"Ah..." Kowalski, not really understanding. Tara noticed this.

"I'm very strange, don't even try to figure me out" she said simply. This caused everyone to laugh.

(*) This is a REAL app that I have on my iPod. It is really nice, because I no longer have to wait until I get home to read fiction! Oh and does it make me obsessive because I actually searched 'FanFiction' in the app store?

Anyway, hope you liked!
