Kowalski woke up the next morning to find that the wisher wasn't by him. He panicked for a moment, but then remembered that no one else could wish for anything anyway. He smiled in amusement as he watched Private trying to wish for a chocolate bar.
"Come on you stupid wisher! Why won't you work?" Private yelled. He was about to throw the wisher on the ground, but Kowalski stopped him just in time.
"Private! Don't you ever throw this! It took me a long time to create this and I don't have the parts to make another one!" Kowalski yelled.
"I'm sorry Kowalski," Private said meekly as he stepped back. "It wasn't working and I was getting frustrated."
"It didn't work because last night before I went to bed, I wished that no one besides me would be able to wish for anything. That way nothing bad will happen," Kowalski replied.
"Oh, well could you let me wish for a chocolate bar now?" Private asked.
Kowalski sighed in irritation. "Alright, but after this no more wishes from anyone else for awhile. I wish that Private had a chocolate bar."
"Oh thank you Kowalski!" Private cheered as a chocolate bar appeared in his flipper.
"I'm going in my lab now. Tell Skipper and Rico not to bother me when they wake up," Kowalski demanded.
"Okay. I'll make sure I tell them," Private responded.
Without another word Kowalski went to his lab. He wanted some peace and quiet. He hadn't really gotten to enjoy the wisher that much because everyone kept taking it.
A few minutes later, Skipper and Rico woke up. Right away they wanted to use the wisher. They couldn't find Kowalski, so they went over to Private.
"Where's Kowalski?" Skipper asked.
"He's in his lab. He told me to tell you not to bother him," Private responded.
"Well we're gonna bother him anyway! We want to use the wisher!" Skipper said.
"Uh huh!" Rico agreed.
"But Skipper, think about it. Kowalski went through a lot of trouble to get it back, and he hasn't gotten to use it that much," Private said.
"Who cares? Rico and I haven't gotten to use it at all," Skipper complained. Without listening to anything else Private had to say, he walked over to Kowalski's lab and knocked on the door.
"Go away! I'm not letting anyone use the wisher!" Kowalski yelled.
"Why not?" Skipper asked even though he already knew the answer.
"I've barely had a chance to use it and I'm getting really tired of everyone else taking it," Kowalski responded.
"But you did get to use it when you first made it, and Rico and I didn't get to use it at all, except when we were getting it back from Maurice. But I didn't wish for anything fun yet," Skipper argued.
"Please Skipper, go away. Maybe tomorrow I'll let you," Kowalski said irritably.
Skipper was really fed up with Kowalski. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. "Rico!" He yelled.
Rico coughed up a stick of dynamite and put in next to the door, then he and Skipper ran away while the door blew up. Then they rushed in the lab.
"Hey!" Kowalski shouted. "I wish that Skipper and Rico—"
Before Kowalski could finish his wish, Skipper leaped on him and tried to take the wisher. They wrestled for a few minutes before Kowalski gave up. He was too tired to try and fight anymore. Skipper grabbed the wisher and ran out of the lab.
"I wish I had a big bowl of fish!" Skipper said. Nothing happened. "Huh? What's wrong with this thing?"
"Ha! You can't wish for anything because I wished that the wisher will only work for me," Kowalski said triumphantly.
"But that's not fair! I haven't gotten a turn yet! Wish that I can use it now!" Skipper demanded.
"No way Skipper. Nothing will change my mind," Kowalski said.
"Oh really? Rico! Tie him up and lock him in a room until he makes the wish," Skipper said.
"No! You can't do this to me!" Kowalski yelled as Rico started tying him up. "I thought we were friends!"
"Friends? If we were friends you would have let me use the wisher!" Skipper yelled madly.
"I will let you use it, but you just have to wait until tomorrow. Please untie me!" Kowalski begged.
"Not until you make the wish!" Skipper shouted.
"I'll never make the wish!" Kowalski yelled.
"Then you'll stay tied up! Rico, take him away," Skipper ordered.
"Wait Rico! Skipper, you can't do this! Kowalski didn't do anything wrong!" Private yelled.
"I can do whatever I want!" Skipper shouted. "I'm in charge!"
"Alright Skipper! I'll make the wish!" Kowalski said in defeat.
"That's more like it," Skipper said victoriously as he ordered Rico to untie Kowalski.
Skipper handed the wisher to Kowalski. "Don't try anything funny," Skipper warned. "Rico and I are right here."
Kowalski didn't answer and said, "I wish that Skipper and Rico can't touch me!"
"Hey! Kowalski! Undo that wish at once!" Skipper demanded.
"No! I wish that Skipper and Rico didn't want to use the wisher anymore and that they'll let me go!" Kowalski said.
"NOOO!" Skipper yelled. All of a sudden he looked confused and said, "Why is Kowalski tied up? Rico! Untie him at once!" Rico untied him without a word.
"Now what's going on? Why were you tied up?" Skipper asked Kowalski.
"Uh, we were playing a game!" Kowalski lied. "Now I have to go in my lab. Bye!" He ran to his lab and wished for the door to be fixed, then he locked it.
Skipper scratched his head while looking at Rico with a puzzled expression on his face. Rico just shrugged his shoulders.
Kowalski was finally getting to use the wisher. He wished for a bunch of scientific things and a few snacks. He was deciding on what to wish for next, when he heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Kowalski asked annoyed.
"It is me! King Julien!" The lemur king called from the other side of the door.
Kowalski sighed in frustration. "I'm not letting anyone use the wisher until tomorrow!" He yelled.
"Oh, but couldn't I just wish for one thing? Pretty please?" Julien asked.
"No! Now go away!" Kowalski shouted.
"I'll give it right back after I'm done! Please please please please please?" Julien kept nagging.
Kowalski ignored him and wished for more things. Julien kept pounding on the door and repeating 'please' over and over again. Kowalski was getting really annoyed. He couldn't think of anything to wish for when he was being distracted by all that noise.
He finally opened the door and handed the wisher to Julien. "Just take it! I can't think when you're making all that noise! One wish only though!" Kowalski yelled.
"Ha ha! Thank you smarty penguin! I wish I was back at the lemur habitat with this wisher!" Julien said. He disappeared with a puff of smoke.
"Oh no! What have I done? I should have known he'd do that! Now I have to get it back!" Kowalski yelled.
"What happened?" Skipper asked as he ran in the lab.
"Julien tricked me into letting him use the wisher and now he's gone! Who knows what he'll wish for!" Kowalski said in dismay. All of a sudden Kowalski's inventions disappeared.
"Hey! Where did my inventions go?" He asked angrily.
Everything in the HQ started disappearing, including the TV and furniture.
"W-What's going on?" Private asked worriedly.
"Julien must be doing this!" Kowalski exclaimed.
"We have to stop him! Let's go!" Skipper yelled as he headed for the door.
"Not yet! I should invent something to help us get it easier. We won't be able to just grab it from him," Kowalski explained.
"What do you have in mind?" Skipper asked.
"Julien let us out of this cage!" Maurice demanded.
Julien just laughed. "I wish that Mort and Maurice cannot speak!" He said as he held the wisher. He had wished for all of Mort and Maurice's possessions, as well as the penguins'.
"And now magic wisher, I wish to have everything from all the animals' habitats!" Julien said.
One by one, things were disappearing and ending up in the lemur habitat. All the animals were confused on what was happening. They didn't know about the wisher.
The lemur habitat was overcrowded with stuff, and Julien could barely move as he was surrounded by a pile of things.
"I wish the lemur habitat was ten times bigger!" Julien said. The habitat suddenly grew to a gigantic size and everything in the zoo magically moved over to make room. The animals were very scared when they felt their homes being violently moved. They had no idea what was going on.
"Ah ha! This is so fun! I'm going to make this habitat so much better!" Julien said happily.
Mort and Maurice tried desperately to get out of the cage they were in, but to no avail.
"Hm, what else should I wish for?" Julien asked himself. "Ooh I know! I wish for it to be raining on everyone except me!"
The sky suddenly got dark and poured rain on all the animals except for Julien. There was a small spot in the sky where it was bright and sunny, and it was right over Julien.
"This is so cool! I'm dry and warm here while everyone else suffers!" Julien said excitedly.
Suddenly he felt a strong force pulling him off his throne and onto the ground. "Ah! What is happening?"
"That's it boys! Keep pulling him in!" Skipper called out.
"What are you doing?" Julien asked as he was pulled closer to the penguins by the unknown force.
"We're using a giant magnet to attract the wisher! It's made out of metal," Kowalski responded.
"No! I will never give up of this wisher!" Julien said as he tried crawling away, but the force was too strong. Before he could wish for anything, the wisher stuck to the magnet and so did he, since he was holding on to it.
"I'll take that!" Kowalski said as he pulled Julien off of the wisher and grabbed it. "I wish that everything was back to normal!"
The sky instantly brightened and the rain stopped, the lemur habitat was returned to normal size and the other habitats were moved back, everyone's possessions returned to their owners, and Mort and Maurice were out of the cage and could speak.
Everyone cheered except Julien. He was crying like a little baby and having a temper tantrum.
"Mission accomplished!" Skipper said as he high flipped the other penguins.
Kowalski's face suddenly looked sad and he sighed. "And now there's just one last wish to make," he said regretfully. "I wish that the wisher was destroyed."
The wisher vanished and the lemurs and penguins all gasped.
"Kowalski! Why did you destroy the wisher?" Private asked.
"It's caused too much trouble. It's better that it's gone now," Kowalski said.
"Aw," Private, Rico and Skipper whined.
Back at the penguin HQ, Kowalski was serving breakfast. Raw fish.
"Cheer up guys. We can still have fun without the wisher," Kowalski tried to convince his comrades.
"Yeah, whatever," Skipper said gloomily.
"Maybe this will cheer you up," Kowalski said as he set a small handheld device connected to a helmet with wires on the table.
"What is it?" Skipper asked uninterested.
"A video game, but not just any ordinary video game. If you put this helmet on you'll instantly be transported inside the game!" Kowalski explained proudly.
That caught the attention of everyone at the table. They all scooted close to the game.
"Well done Kowalski! You invented something else to make up for the wisher. This looks really cool!" Skipper said.
"Any volunteers?" Kowalski asked.
"Ooh me! I wanna try it out first!" Private said excitedly as he held up his flipper.
"Alright then, just put this helmet on," Kowalski said as he handed it to Private.
Kowalski turned on the game and Private suddenly vanished from the room. The penguins got closer to look at the screen. They saw nothing at first and were worried.
"Oh no! Where's Private?" Kowalski asked, his eyes wide with concern.
"I'm right here Kowalski!" Private said happily as he waved at them from inside the game. They all sighed with relief when they saw their youngest teammate was safe.
"Now before you do anything Private, let me warn you. You only have ten lives. I know that may sound like a lot but if you lose all of them, well, you'll really die!" Kowalski said nervously.
"Oh great. You invented something else that's dangerous!" Skipper said angrily.
"Don't worry," Kowalski reassured. "As long as we're watching him closely and he's careful—"
"Ouch! Kowalski! I lost a life!" Private yelled.
"You were saying Kowalski?" Skipper said irritably.
"Oh, when will I learn?" Kowalski asked himself.
