And it's chapter 3! full of things from my random imagination that were needed to move the story along! enjoy!

Well, now that I'm with the agency again, I have but one important task to do, and no, I'm not planning on jumping around my igloo while singing about the stuff that happened, to my puffle, because I did that when I got into the PSA, and honestly, I was quite embarrassed when Gary walked in on me while I was singing about how my training with Bouncer went. I could have sworn my purple puffle was laughing at me, but Gary really should've knocked instead of inviting himself inside. Anyway, my little task is to quit my job at the Pet Shop, my boss will probably be mad at me for quitting, but oh well.

"You want to quit your current job here?!" My boss screamed, her red feathers turning an even darker red.

"Well umm… yes." I replied softly, hoping that playing innocent might throw her off.

"And why is that?" She questioned, pulling her brown hair away from her face, revealing her "famous" death glare. Clearly playing innocent wasn't going to work.

"My uh… puffle has uh… Squeaky Flu!" I said, pointing to Princess, my purple puffle.

"Hmm…" My boss flicked through some papers, pulling out a small, light purple card, "It says here, that your puffle got the vaccine for that last week." Darn it.

"Cream-phobia?"

"Only white puffles get that fear."

"Sticky-furitis?"

"Nope, Princess got that vaccine last month."

"Bounce and Fail?"

"She got that one two months ago."

"Juggleitis?"

"Only green puffles get that."

"Dancefurever?"

"She got the vaccine for that earlier this year."

I'm starting to run out of puffle illnesses to use as an excuse.

"Well? Are you going to give me a real reason to let you go or what?" She gave me a harder glare.

Almost instantly I came up with an amazing excuse. "Someone told PH that I used to shave puffles and then sell the fur for a puffle eating crab and now she's out to get me, so I have to quit my job here so that she doesn't find me!"

My boss stared at me in bewilderment, I caught Princess rolling her eyes at me. "Oh my… that IS a good reason to want to quit…. Alright, you're free to go, now, GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!" I totally nailed it.

Now that my job at the Pet Shop is done for… hopefully forever, I'm just walking around with Princess riding on my right shoulder, it's an odd thing for a purple puffle to do, but she's light enough, so I don't mind. While I'm walking through the Snow Forts, I see something some penguins would call odd, A snow-penguin near the Clock tower, drinking a cup of coffee. I slightly giggled at the figure when I noticed some familiar purple feathers poking through the snow in various places on the snow penguin. Dot's costume is starting to melt. As soon as Dot noticed me, she took the last bits of her snow-made costume off and made her way over to where I was standing, still taking sips of her coffee.

Once she reached me, she said, "Hi." Then took another sip of coffee.

"Hi." I said back, holding back laughter that was threatening to come out when I saw that parts of her clothes were wet from the melted snow. Princess on the other hand, wasn't so good at holding back laughter and began to laugh at Dot, even though Princess' laugh sounded more like a bunch of squeaks, Dot could tell what the puffle was doing.

"What is she laughing at?" Dot asked.

"I dunno." I shrugged, causing Princess to stumble backwards into my hair. Dot shrugged it off and took another sip of coffee.

"So…" I began, "What have you been up to the last few months?" I asked, suddenly wanting to know what had happened after the PSA HQ got a visit from a popcorn bomb.

Dot looked at her coffee, "Oh, I've been training Coffe- er.. stealth agents to become better at disguises."

"Coffee stealth agents?" I joked.

"You know what I meant!" Dot laughed at herself, "Maybe I should pay less attention to my coffee from now on." She took another sip of coffee, then look into her cup and noticed that it was finally empty.

After laughing for a few seconds, we walked to the beach, having a conversation about random events that had happened recently.

"I was running out of excuses, so I told her-" before I could finish my story about today's events, there was a penguin shouting orders at another penguin, on the other side of the beach.

"ROOKIE NO! DON"T PUSH THAT-" a loud boom interrupted the penguin, "Button." It was only a few seconds before the penguin started shouting again, "Rookie! Use the parachute!"

As we got closer, we saw that the two penguins were none other than Jet Pack Guy and Rookie.

"What parachute?" Rookie shouted.

"Don't tell me you forgot to bring the parachute!" Jet Pack Guy shouted, in an angry, frustrated tone.

"I was supposed to bring a parachute?" Rookie asked. After a few seconds, or if Gary were here to make a more precise guess, like 28.48 seconds or something, Rookie's now broken jetpack landed on the far side of the beach, while Rookie himself crashed into the water. Jet Pack Guy simply had his flipper slapped across his face.

Dot and I exchanged an amused glance before approaching the red penguin. " 'Sup JPG?" I greeted, slowly getting used to calling the jetpack expert by his nickname again.

JPG sighed, "Trying to teach Rookie how to use a jetpack."

I looked over at the jetpack Rookie had used and noticed something that made it different from other jetpacks, "Well I think you made a mistake by having him use the jetpack with the 'self-destruct' button." I stated.

"I thought having him use that one would prevent him from messing up, clearly I was wrong." He confessed.

"You mean like how Dot thought she could train coffee to be masters of disguises?" I joked.

"Hey!" Dot pouted for a moment before laughing. JPG gave a 'I-Don't-Get-It' look.

"Dot was telling me about some of the things she's done while I was gone, you know, when I wasn't with the agency." I explained. The suddenly a soaking wet Rookie appeared next to me.

"Wanna know what I've been doing the last few months?" He asked, a smile growing across his beak.

We all, except for Rookie, exchanged a glance. "Sure Rookie, tell us what you've been up to." I replied.

"Well…" He began, "After everyone left the Sports Shop after it exploded, I stayed and helped clean up the popcorn by eating it. Then I went to go to my igloo, but when I got there, I found out it wasn't my igloo. So after I remembered where my Igloo was, I went to go find my badge like I said I was going to do.

"So I searched all over, it took me about an hour before I realized that it was in my fridge the whole time! So I grabbed it and wondered 'How did this end up in my fridge?', then I finally decided that my badge must have gotten hungry!"

-one hour later-

"And now I'm soaking wet and telling you guys about what I've been doing!" Rookie finished, not noticing that we were close to falling asleep.

"Uh, Rookie, you do know that when I said you could tell us what you've been up to the past few months that I wanted you to sum it all up, not explain in detail every single thing you did." I explained.

"Oh, uh…. Oops." Rookie answered while he nervously messed with his sunglasses.

I rolled my eyes then turned to JPG, "What about you JPG?"

"Huh?" JPG slowly snapped back to reality, "Oh, nothing much, helped with construction, flew a couple laps around the island and… set the dance floor in the Night Club on fire… again."

"Again?"

"Yep."

We started talking about random things while walking around the island before we each left to go do our own things. Maybe I'll stop by the Night Club later.

So, How did you all like this one? should i continue from the mini-cliffhanger, in the next chapter, should i skip to the next set of EPF-ness next chapter, or should i do both? let me know!

Also, don't expect the next chapter right away, I tend to write the chapter on paper first, and I also like writing a few chapters ahead, so please be patient while i find time between my school-internet-animation-storywriting schedule! 'Till next chapter,
