Thanks again for all the reviews guys. Here is chapter 4.

Disclaimer: I do not own Penguins of Madagascar.

(Otter Habitat. December 23rd.)

Marlene woke up to see Danny was lying on Dave's bed all by his lonesome. Sam was not in the cave.

"Sam?" Marlene whispered. "Sam?"

Marlene heard a splash come from outside and a moment later Sam came walking back into the cave. Her fur was still a little wet. Obviously she had been out swimming.

"Were you just out there swimming? In this cold weather?" Marlene asked.

Sam looked at Marlene and said, "Yes I was. I don't know about you, but I like cold water. It always feels good when I get out."

"Mommy," they heard Danny call out as he started waking up.

Sam walked over to Danny and kissed his forehead.

"I'm going to go see uncle Dave for a few minutes Danny. I'd take you with me, but it's too cold for you out there right now. Miss Marlene here is going to keep an eye on you until I get back. Understand?" Sam said to Danny who nodded his head.

"Anything I should know about him?" Marlene asked.

Sam shook her head and said, "No. Just that he scares easily."

Marlene nodded and Sam walked out of the cave and out of the habitat.

Snow was falling now and was starting to accumulate.

(Penguin HQ)

Dave and the penguins were all sitting in the HQ eating some breakfast fish. They had the weather on and they were calling for more snow.

"Well guys it looks like we're going to have a white christmas this year after all," Dave said.

"YAY! WHITE CHRISTMAS!" Private yelled in excitement.

Skipper merely smiled and patted Private on the top of the head.

The fishbowl entrance opened and Sam came climbing down the ladder and walked over to Dave.

"Hey bro," Sam said and hugged Dave.

"Hey sis," Dave said and returned the hug.

Sam pulled away from the hug, turned to the penguins and said, "Hey Kowalski, Rico, Private."

She then glared at Skipper and said, "Skipper."

Skipper sighed and said, "I'm sorry about last night OK. I can't help but be suspicious of anyone who comes into our HQ. Better safe than sorry. Alright?"

Sam nodded and said, "At least you apologized."

"So what's up Sam? Need something?" Dave asked.

"Nothing really. I was just wondering if you and any of your friends would like to go caroling tonight. After meeting a few of your friends I asked them if they wanted to. So far only Marlene, Becky, Stacey, and Mason have agreed. What do you guys say?" Sam asked.

Dave nodded and said, "Yes of course I would. What about you guys?"

Three of the penguins got excited, but Skipper shook his head and said, "I don't do caroling."

Skipper then looked his men who now looked dissapointed.

Skipper sighed and said, "But the men are off tonight. They can go if they want to."

The other penguins suddenly brightened up and they clapped.

Sam smiled and said, "Alright. Let's meet up at the otter habitat at seven tonight. Now come on Dave. The zoo opens soon and we have to be back at the habitat before then."

Dave nodded and he left the HQ with Sam.

Skipper turned to his men and said, "Leave authorized for tonight men. Hope you enjoy caroling."

The three nodded and got excited.

Skipper chuckled and said, "You knuckleheads."

(Later)

The rest of the day passed uneventfully. The visitors came and left. The snow fell. Some people were actually happy upon seeing Sam and Danny thinking it was sweet seeing a baby otter and it's mother.

At about six that night the zoo workers distributed the food and the animals ate their meals. Before long seven o'clock came and the penguins, badgers, and Mason arrived at the otter habitat.

The penguins entered first. The first thing that Private saw was little Danny all curled up into a ball and taking a nap.

Becky and Stacey who entered right behind Private saw Danny as well and all three of them "awwed" at the sight.

"Ohh Sam, he's simply too cute," Private said happily.

Becky and Stacey walked ip behind Private and they just watched as Danny slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes he saw the badgers and penguin standing above him.

He shrank away in fear and called out, "MOMMY!"

Sam looked in Danny's direction and walked over to him. She picked him up and turned to the badgers and penguin.

"Sorry about that guys. Danny just scares easily. I think it has to do when I woke up screaming from a nightmare sometime ago. Loud noises and strangers scare him the most," Sam said to the three.

Private and the badgers sighed in relief knowing that it wasn't something too serious.

Kowalski suddenly grew a little impatient and said, "Can we get going now please? I want to start caroling."

Rico grunted in agreement and started laughing in glee. He upchucked some candles and wanted to light them.

"Yes I too would like to get started. I always enjoy going caroling at this time of the year," Mason said in agreement.

Dave sighed and said, "Just hang on a few minutes guys. We need to make sure Danny stays warm while we are out there. The one thing he doesn't need is a cold."

Sam nodded in a agree and carefully wrapped a little scarf around Danny's neck, making sure it was loose, and she even added a little stocking cap to his head. Since she was going to carry him and hold him close she wasn't worried about his body freezing.

"Aww. He looks even more adorable now," Stacey squealed with Becky and Private nodding in agreement.

"Yes he does," Marlene cooed in agreement and patted Danny's little head.

"Okay so Danny is all set now. CAN WE PLEASE GO CAROLING NOW?" Kowalski asked in anticipation.

"Yes let us go do the caroling. Uh, what exactly is this caroling?" asked the annoying lemur king who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Huh? Where did he?" Kowalski tried to ask, but Julien was already going out the door.

"Get the loads out. There is caroling to be done," Julien called back.

Everyone sighed and began walking out one by one.

Sam stopped Dave for a moment and said, "Thanks for agreeing to this Dave. I'm sure it'll get you into the christmas spirit."

Dave smiled and then he, Sam, and Danny followed the others.

Not very long, but the next chapter should be better.

Next the animals go caroling.

Remember to read and review guys.
