"So what do you say David, Friends?" asked Skipper
"Yes Sir, I want to be friends with you and thank you" David replied with an innocent smile. Skipper then returns the smile back to the young penguin.
The scene later shifts to all five of the penguins on the platform on top of the HQ. Skipper had called his team for a short briefing.
"Now that were on good terms David, I hereby officially welcome you to our unit and I expect you to give your best efforts to the team. And for starters, I'm assigning you to the rank of cadet; you start your training first thing in the A.M. So tomorrow, you wake up early and we start your training. Got that entirely cadet?" Said Skipper
"Yes Sir, I will do all I can to help the team" responds David
"Good, umm by the way, what else can you contribute to the team David?" ask Skipper
"Sir, I've heard from Miss Marlene that you guys have trouble reading and at the same time writing, but with me around however, you'll have less trouble doing it, plus I can teach you guys, I've learned all from my mother and my other relatives." Said David
"Agreed, from now on, I'm assigning you to read and write duty, umm anything else?" Skipper asks
David pondered for a short moment before an idea hatched from his tiny brain.
"Well I have this thing for vehicles, but you probably wouldn't understand Mr. Skipper"
David cut off his sentence before continuing, believing that if he did finished his sentence, the penguins would not trust him with such kind of responsibility due to his young age. But the penguins insisted that anything he says could be helpful to them.
"What about vehicles David?" asked Skipper
"Well you see, aside from reading and writing, I saw you're RC car earlier when Private gave me a tour of the lair and I also a skilled...
Skipper interrupted David before he could finish his sentence
"Whoa whoa, hold up there little soldier, did hear Private gave you a tour of the lair?" asked Skipper
"Yes Sir, he did" replied David
Skipper then turns his attention to Private, who gave David an unauthorized tour in their lair.
"Private what did I say about giving unauthorized tours to strangers? You do know only authorized personnel are allowed in the garage, giving someone a tour means they could have access to our secret lair, not to mention our secret files." said Skipper
"Sorry Skipper, but wait I thought David was already an honorary penguin? Why can't I give him a tour?" said Private
"Well that's because I haven't officially inducted him to the team yet, well not until a few minutes ago, and the penguin code states that only authorized members, such as yourself, are allowed to go in every inch and corner of our lair and no one else" said Skipper
"I won't happen again sir, I promise" respond Private smiling at Skipper
"Well I hope so soldier, imagine if our secret files did really fall in the wrong hands, it could cause mass hysteria and planet wide panic, all because you gave a tour" said Skipper menacingly
Private then gulps into fear while Skipper stared him in the eye. Kowalski then breaks up the conversation between Private and Skipper. "Umm yeah, Skipper, regarding about David?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, now what was that you were about to say?" asked Skipper
"I'm a skilled mechanic and I thought that maybe I could upgrade your car, with your permission of course Sir." he replied
Skipper not being able to control his emotions, fell on the floor laughing so hard, soon after the other penguins also started to chuckle when they heard David is a skilled mechanic. They must have thought that he was trying to make them laugh, Skipper then got up on the floor and said to him.
"A skilled reader and a mechanic?, Oh David you crack me up like an Easter egg, I give that joke a hundred percent, but I believe you are too young for such a task, maybe when you're older, well teach you how we mend broken vehicles,"
David sighed at the thought no one believed him. He was disappointed that Skipper, Rico, Kowalski and Private didn't believe him, but in reality David wasn't kidding, as he was really serious about fixing vehicles.
The next day...
It was 9 A.M. in the Penguins habitat and Skipper and the others are preparing to train little David. Despite being the newest member and relatively inexperienced, the young penguin was to able to catch up to their training with ease.
"Just repeat after us David, don't worry if you can't catch up, after all it's first practice with us, in time you'll get it" Said Skipper, "As for the rest of you follow after me, kick, punch, back flip, twirl, kick, weave, punch, kick, do the tumble punch, now show me the roundhouse kick, and repeat"
After a mere 2 hours of non-stop training, Skipper finally lets his team take a rest
"Excellent work out team, now it's time to take a break, we go again after 15 minutes"
After their practice, they return inside their lair through the fishbowl entrance.
Private was panting from the exhaustion of their training and he laid on the ground, "That was the best workout I've ever had" he said while panting
"Don't you mean worst?" added Kowalski
"Ablurrrgh blurrgh blah blah" grumbled Rico from exhaustion
"Get up you little knuckleheads, were not done yet with our training, we still have to practice our mad combat driving skills"
"Combat driving Skippa?, oh well at least it's inside the zoo, is it Skippa?" ask Private
Skipper has been pondering on whether to execute their combat driving skills inside the zoo or outside the zoo. Skipper then realizes it would be better for his team if they practice outside the zoo. And after careful consideration, he realizes that because David is too young to start practicing behind the wheel of the car, he assigns him a different task, a much less dangerous one in fact. They later call on Marlene for help to babysit David while he guards the penguins HQ.
"So I'm on babysitting duty, great" Marlene said sarcastically
"Affirmative Marlene, we need you to babysit the youngest member of our team and if you get into any trouble, just give us a little beep on this device" commanded Skipper
Kowalski then hands Marlene a small remote like device with a big red button in the middle.
"Did you understand my instructions Marlene?" he asked
"Yeah I got it Skipper, I just push the big red button in the middle and you guys spring into action"
"David you stay here with Marlene and be on guard duty, we don't want anyone unauthorized coming in here besides you two" commands Skipper
David responds "You got it Mr. Skipper"
"Good, we'll be right back in a jiffy, alright Rico drive us out of the zoo" commanded Skipper
"Woohoo!" Rico exclaims while driving the car
They then zoom out of the zoo using the car with lightning speed. It wasn't long before Marlene asked David what he wanted to do for the time being, she would agree to anything the young penguin wanted to do, as long as it doesn't involve sharp objects or dangerous obstacles.
She then asked him "Ok David what do you want do today?"
"Umm actually I was about to ask you something Miss Marlene, if it's okay with you" said David
"Why of course it's okay, what is it you wan't to ask me about?" she said with an eager face
"Do you have a crush on Skipper Miss Marlene?"
"Why ahh umm ugh, why would you ask that question David" she was left speechless after hearing his question
"I noticed earlier when you and Mr. Skipper were talking, I observed you hadn't been paying that much attention to what he says because you were too occupied looking into his icy blue eyes" said David
"I umm was thinking about something during that time, and I give you my word that Skipper and I are not compatible, he's a penguin and I'm an otter, I'm a mammal and he's a bird, we are totally different from each other" she replied
"Would you say yes, if he asked you out on a date Miss Marlene?" asked David
