Skipper and Derek woke up in the sewer after their fall. Skipper woke up rubbing a sore spot on his side. Then it all came back to him, the kissing and wrestling, though the kiss came back in full view. He shuddered at the memory, but now he gave a death glare, that was so strong it could've killed his brother. "Derek." He grumbled in a monster moan.

Derek smiled nervously and tried to look innocent, but Skipper didn't seem to be buying any of it. He didn't even remember a time where he fell for his little brother's smile.

"Okay Skipper, I know you're still mad." He said backing away from Skipper with his flippers held in front of him in a protective way as his military trained older brother neared him with his flippers curled into fists, ready to beat the living daylights out of his younger brother. "But I was only trying to help!"

(11/8/2009 7:34:44 PM)Skipper lunged at him, but Derek moved out of the way in time, so Skipper landed in the murky sewer water instead. "Oh, I'll help you alright!" Skipper growled before making another lunge at his brother.

"Just so you know, I didn't know she'd kiss me! Come on bro, she's totally into you!" Derek said, trying to reason skipper, but he kept a good distance from him, even when he stopped and looked at him strangely.

"What do you mean she kissed you? You kissed her first!" Skipper shouted.

"Well, that second kiss was all her, I swear!" Derek explained.

Skipper groaned at the memory. "Don't remind me…now how are we gonna get back?" he said, looking at his surroundings, thinking of a plan to get home.

"You live here! Don't you know the way out?" Derek asked now panicking.

Skipper rolled his eyes. "Oh please, just calm down, and don't for a second think your of the hook, do you hear me?" he asked pointing at Derek with a, now sewer water covered, flipper.

Derek nodded, and they made a few feet of their journey back home in silence.

A few moments later. . . . . . . . . .

Derek decided to speak up, he felt awkward about this, and he felt it was his fault he got them both into this mess.

"Sorry." He started looking up at his older brother. He stopped, making Skipper stop too, and then he faced him. "I feel like's some of this is my fault, and I'm sorry."

Skipper narrowed his eyes at him. "Some of this is your fault. You feel like it's your fault? Derek, this whole thing is your fault!"

"Okay fine, I'm a horrible little brother, and I deserve to sleep on the floor like the dog you tell everyone I am, happy now?" Derek hollered out angrily.

Skipper smirked. "Very." He then chuckled. "Wait till mom figures out her little baby had his first kiss." He said making Derek's beak drop open at the thought.

"You wouldn't!"

"Oh, I wouldn't, wouldn't I?" Skipper asked, but he sighed when Derek cocked his head to the side confused.

"You should've paid more attention in school, Derek." Skipper said, but when he said it, his thoughts went out to Marshal. He felt bad; he's probably worried sick about him right now. He shook it off, and changed the subject.

"Yeah, well the water's heading that way, so let's go down there." He said before they walk a while on the narrow path next to the stream of sewer sludge. Skipper took a hold of Derek's shoulder and pushed him in front causing some of the sewer water to rub of on Derek

"What is this water made out of? It reeks!" he said.

Skipper rolled his eyes at how brainless his brother was. "What did you expect, rose water? It's the sewer!" he rolled his eyes when Derek whined some more behind him. "You're still the prissy little baby you were before." He mumbled, but loud enough for his brother to hear.

"Oh yeah, you're still the bossy older brother who didn't seem to want anything to do with this family!" Derek hollered at him, angrily. Just at that moment a drop of sewer water dripped from the ceiling and in to Derek's big mouth.

"What do you mean by that? I protected this family!" Skipper hollered out back to him. He rolled his eyes after seeing Derek more upset over what fell in his mouth then what he had just said to him. "It was just a little drop! Private's manlier than you, and he still watches soap operas and eats butterscotch lollies!"

Derek ignored the manly part. "Pft! Some help you were. Mom wouldn't stop crying her eyes out. We were about to crack!"

Skipper tried not to seem too taken back by that fact. "I did it for your own good. There's no way in the name of tater tots mom and pop would've been able to sustain us all, especially with your big mouth!"

"Oh, so it's my fault? That is so like you, and guess who I was with after you were gone, Tanya! Ha!" Derek lied.

"You mean that dirty low life who took advantage of us as kids? I hope you had your fun." Skipper said sarcastically.

"She's a good kisser." Derek continued.

"Good to know." Skipper grumbled, trying to ignore him.

"Well it's true." Derek said. As far as you know. He thought to himself.

He then remembered Derek's words. "Mom cried when I left?" he asked uncomfortably.

Derek tapped his beak to think. "Oh, let me think-YES! I'm surprised you couldn't hear it yourself. I know you're not super penguin, but it was pretty loud." He said with a small shudder at the memory. "Look at it this way, how would you act if Marshal left? That would be pretty hard on you wouldn't it?"

"Yeah," Skipper said with a hard feeling at the thought.

Derek moved a little closer to Skipper, since he was cooled down now. "You know, Skipper, I didn't expect you to go that bad on me at Marlene's you know."

"Well, I don't know, I was just…uh." Skipper stammered, trying to think of the best word.

"Jealous?" Derek said with a small smirk.

"NO!" Skipper hollered defensively. "I was just stopping you from disturbing her even more. It was as plain as day that she wasn't…enjoying it." He said fiddling with the tips of his flippers.

"That's what it looked like to me." He said, but what if Marlene did enjoy it?

Derek laughed. "Right and you just had to pound my face in."

"As a matter of fact, I did."

"Right in front of her kid?"

Skipper flinched.

Derek nodded. "Yep, not only did he have a major poop out, you had to scar him for life by beating me up, like it was some kind of violent R rated movie."

"Oh, I bet he's not so happy about you forcefully kissing his mother in front of him! That's an M rated movie right there!" Skipper fought back, trying to make it sound like Derek was just as bad as he was.

"Yeah, and you know what? It felt good." Derek said exaggerating the word 'good'.

Skipper smiled a trouble grin, similar to his son's. "You know Derek, one thing that's great about being in here with you, is that there aren't any witnesses down here." He said turning to him slowly; Derek thought for sure that his head could've spun around in a full circle.

Derek's eyes widened and he took off in a full blown sprint.

Skipper chuckled. "Get's him every time." He said as Derek made his way back a little angrily.

"Ugh! I wish you'd stop doing that!" Derek mumbled as he came back to Skipper's side.

"That'll be your death wish if you ever reenact that little scene with Marlene again." Skipper threatened him.

"Well I certainly will if you don't act soon, to her, I'm the only one who likes her, and you need to do something, I mean Jeez, it's like you don't want me to have her, and then you don't go after her yourself. Do you want me to grow old and alone?" Derek asked.

"Sure, why not? It's not like any other females are into you." Skipper answered.

"Well, Marlene likes me, I'll be glad to hand her over, but you don't seem to want her."

"Pft! She just met you! When she really gets to know you, she'll run away like a scared little girl, or maybe even like you when you saw mom and dad kissing." Skipper said with a chuckle at the memory. "What did you do again? Oh, yeah! 'I'm blind, momma, momma please!" he said imitating Derek's voice, making Derek growl and curl his flippers.

Derek tried to ignore his older brother. Just then he saw the familiar manhole leading in to Marlene's habitat "Isn't that our stop?" he asked pointing to that manhole.

"No that's Marlene's habitat were going too my…" but Skipper was cut off by Derek running back to the opening and jumping through. Skipper knew his intentions and quickly jumped up as well, to try and grab him, but Derek pushed the grate closed and, unintentionally, on Skipper's head. When he did, Skipper fell unconscious on the sewer floor…

"Now where were we?" he heard Derek say in a flirty tone to, what had to be, Marlene. Skipper felt a wave of heat and anger fall on him.

"You were kissing me." Marlene said with a hint of sass in her voice.

"Ah that's right!" Derek said as he remembered. Skipper felt a strong pressure of some sort, fall upon his chest

"You know," Marlene said after a long period of time of which was filled with sounds of Marlene and Derek… kissing "I was hoping Skipper would admit his feelings but you're so much better than waiting around for something that's never going to happen."

"Is that so?" Derek hummed back to her…

Skipper woke up still feeling the dark anger that possessed him. He opened his eyes and saw Derek's face looming over him. He had a worried expression. Skipper instantly shot his flippers up to his brother's throat. "You. Said. She. Was. Mine." Skipper hissed with each word he continued banging Derek's head against the top of his bunk. Not hard enough to really hurt him but to get his point across.

"I never said she wasn't!" Derek gagged.

"Go dad!" Marshal cheered as he turned to Athena "I told you they'd fight!"

Athena ignored him and just looked worriedly at Skipper trying to strangle his brother.

"Oh, the horror!' Elli whined as she covered her eyes.

"Uh...is this a bad time, or is this a family thing?" Marlene asked awkwardly as she walked in. Skipper finally released Derek, once he heard Marlene's sweet voice.

"A little of both..." Derek mumbled while he rubbed his throat.

"You should've seen them going at it at my house! They fell right into the sewer!" Peanut boasted.

"No way, tell me everything" Marshal called back from across the room. Peanut opened his mouth about ready to tell Marshal, but he stopped when Marlene glared at him.

"I'll tell ya later" he whispered, noticeable by Marlene, who rolled her eyes.

Skipper sat up and instantly felt the pain from where the cover fell on his head. "I had the worst dream...You and Derek...you and Derek…"Skipper said suddenly remembering his dream.

"What about me and Derek?" Marlene asked still a little flustered from the night's events

"Uh…Never mind." he said seeing Marlene's blush.

"Are you alright Skippa? You hit your head hard! When we finally found you, Derek carried you all the way home." Private asked, concerned.

"You think with all the training you might've lost a few pounds, but no." Derek teased.

"Oh yeah, I think it was those cookies he keeps hidden." Marshal said, smirking at Skipper, who looked humiliated.

"I bet they're not as good as the ones mom sends to him." Peanut giggled, watching his mom turn red.

"Thanks AGAIN Peanut!" Marlene yelled.

Skipper remembered the deal Derek had proposed and suddenly felt a whole lot worse He lay back down in his bunk.

"Yeah, I'm starting to regret saving your life, fluffy." Derek stated mockingly.

"Saving my life!? This was your fault in the first place." Skipper yelled, furious at the fact his brother had the nerve to say something like that.

"Maybe we should let Skipper and Derek talk…alone" Kowalski mumbled in an awkward tone, he wanted to get the kids and Private out of the room before it got too violent.

"Thanks, Kowalski." Derek moaned sarcastically

"Go, go, go! I have a little conversation or two to have with my brother" Skipper said, smiling evilly at Derek.

Kowalski rushed the rest of the family out of the room. Skipper looked over at Derek "Now, what reason could you possibly have to get me and Marlene together." He asked crossing his flippers and staring directly in to Derek's eyes.

Derek sighed in relief that Skipper wasn't going to murder him...or at least not yet. "Well...I know that look. You used to give to Tanya all the time, and well, I wanted you to be happy." He explained looking at Skipper to see if he believed him. "Or, see if she was available" Derek added with an innocent smile.

Skipper was happy that his little brother was trying to help and tried not to growl at the extra comment. "I can do that myself. I'm twenty seven and I'm pretty sure that's old enough to do things on my own" Skipper said in an overly exaggerated manner.

"You've had nearly two years, I've only know her for two days and, I've already kissed her!" Derek yelled throwing his flippers down.

"Do you want to hear what else I have to say, now?" Skipper said narrowing his eyes.

"Sure why not?" Derek mocked back, feeling braver now.

"Okay, first let me…"Skipper scoffed as he slapped his younger brother.

"Like father, like son" Derek yelled, slapping him back.

"Oh, I see, you're either naturally stupid or you're pulling my leg here." Skipper said, crossing his flippers and stepping back.

"I wouldn't do either! Skipper, I'm serious either start acting like you like the girl or, I'll keep loving her. I really don't mind doing that, either." Derek said, feeling strong.

"Well did you have to, I don't know, KISS HER!" Skipper said losing control

"I guess not, because it still hasn't gotten through your thick head to do something."

"That fifty pound sewer grate sure did!" Skipper replied, rubbing the spot where he had been hit earlier.

"Then, I guess you won't mind if I ask her out on a date tonight." Derek said turning to leave.

"You wouldn't!" Skipper shouted. He thought for a minute. "What happened to Tanya?"

"Oh, and by the way, you really want to know what happened to Tanya. I'll give you a hint; it's the same thing that's about to happen to Marlene." Derek said, knowing Skipper was about to blow his top. Marshal and Peanut, who were listening in on the conversation, gasped.

"Oh, you tell him, Uncle Derek!" Marshal whispered with a big smile.

"Ew! Not my mother!" Peanut said a little disgusted.

"So are we gonna tell Miss Marlene? If we don't, she might just become a Mrs. Marlene." Marshal said thinking about it.

"And Derek would be my dad!" Peanut said excitedly.

"Or my dad, that would make us brothers! I don't know maybe we should take our chances, it would be pretty cool to have a brother." He said with a smile. "Especially if he's my best friend!" he said, now wanting his dad to marry Marlene. He waited for Peanut to answer.
