The teens were walking under the front gate of the zoo slowly. They didn't want to be caught, so they took their time. After what seemed to be hours of creeping in the shadows, they were finally inside the zoo walls. All was good until four familiar figures appeared in front of them.

"DAD!" All four teens hollered out.

Skipper glared at Marshal. "Congratulations son, you made the first page!" he said, obviously angry.

"What?" Marshal was confused, but his dad cleared things up by showing him a newspaper. "Oh… snap." He said.

"Go ahead, read it." Skipper insisted.

Marshal gulped. "Four penguins were seen driving in a pink car after a robbery at a local fish market." He read. He laughed nervously when he met Skipper's glare again. "Um… pretty bad what happened down at that fish market, right?" he gulped.

Skipper's glare didn't leave. "Go on, it gets better."

Marshal sighed and read on. "It says, 'four penguins were seen committing theft, going to the movie theater, and… are obviously romantically involved'!? Are the humans crazy!?" Marshal hollered to change the subject. "Who wants to read about penguin romances?"

"Well, you seemed to be enjoying it, haven't you?" Skipper set the newspaper down then put his flippers at his sides. "Marshal, I am so disappointed in you! I know you cause trouble on a regular basis, but you've just committed a crime!"

Marshal looked down. "What's my punishment?"

"Oh, I'm not giving you a punishment." Skipper said.

Marshal looked up. "Dad say what now?"

"Private is!" Skipper moved aside, and let Private march up to Marshal. He didn't look so happy either.

"Oh come ON!" Marshal ran off.

Private didn't chase him. "HAVE FUN SLEEPING OUTSIDE TONIGHT!" he called out after him. He heard Elli gasp from behind him. "What?" Private shrugged.

"Daddy, you can't make Marshal sleep outside! It's freezing! You can't!" Elli begged.

"Sorry, but that's his punishment." Private said.

"Then… where do I sleep?" Elli asked.

Private smiled. "Anywhere you want!"

Elli smiled too. "Great! I'll go and keep Marshal warm!" she ran out after her boyfriend, though she heard her dad calling out for her behind her. She ran up and hugged Marshal. "Hi Marshal!" she greeted him with a kiss on the cheek.

Marshal blushed. "Elli, what are you doing here?"

Elli hugged him again. "I came to keep you company!"

Marshal smiled, thinking that he had such an awesome girlfriend that would do that for him. "Thanks Elli, but I don't need you to freeze your tail feathers off just because I got stupid and the humans caught us." He said, but Elli wouldn't leave.

Elli looked into Marshal's eyes. "But I don't want you to freeze either! Come on," she took his flipper; "if you can't sleep in the warm, then neither can I." she smiled at him. "That's how I love you." She blushed.

Marshal did too, but he felt the ends of his beaks rise up like a balloon. His heart fluttered in his chest and he had the starts in his eyes. Elli loved him.

The two teens made it back to the others in time to see Athena and her dad talking… or fighting. Rico was growling at Buttons, and Buttons was growling back. It was like watching two dogs before they fight.

Marshal faced his dad. "Um… Elli says that she wants me to sleep inside… or she's sleeping out. And trust me, I didn't ask her to do that." He shook his head. He probably would've had a better excuse, but in his head, he was going Elli loves me! Elli loves me! Elli loves me!

Elli nodded. "Daddy, just give us another punishment, one where we can be warm and not end up with a case of Hypothermia." She chuckled.

Marshal nodded. "Yeah… Whatever Hypothermia is"

Private rolled his eyes. "You got quite a catch, Elli." He got a glare from Skipper.

Elli, however, didn't hear the sarcasm in his voice and smiled at Marshal. "I sure do!" she hugged him.

Marshal faced his dad and sighed. "So, what's it gonna be? Cleaning the H.Q. or what?"

"I think that'll work" Skipper said. He looked over at Private who nodded giving his approval.

The next day…

Marshal was down on his knees scrubbing the floor while Athena and Elli were cleaning the ladder. Athena made a face as her dad's voice played over I want to see my face in that when you're done. She looked over at Buttons who was polishing Private's First Prize. Marshal rinsed the rag he was using out in the bucket next to him.

"It's not as bad as it could've been." He said without much pity in his voice.

"That's just because you're used to it" Athena mocked.

"That is not entirely true." Marshal said defensively "I don't think I've ever gotten a lecture from Uncle Private about how he will kill me if I ever touch his daughter again." Athena snorted.

"Kinda like the one I got from my dad. How important it is not to kiss a boy." Athena looked back at Buttons with a smile. "But that doesn't mean I won't."
