Well it's been a lousy weekend for me, but I won't go into details. Here's chapter 7.

Disclaimer: I do not own Penguins of Madagascar.

(Vet's office)

Everyone from Central Park were all wide eyed from Marlene's comment.

"Transformation? What transformation?" asked Clemens.

Marlene groaned and then began explaining about Dave and what happened to him. She included some of Dave's past and a few things that have happened since Dave first arrived at the Central Park Zoo. When she was finished, the Bronx team were met with mixed disbelif.

"What? How is that even possible?" Ovid asked with skepticism.

Kowalski held up a flipper and said, "To explain it would be a long and complicated scientific explaination. Complicated for you that is."

Marlene began to panic a little bit and said, "Guys we need to go find Dave. Who knows how he's feeling."

Skipper nodded and said, "Agreed. We need to fan out and find Dave. Everyone head out."

Kowalski steped forward and said, "Given Dave's current mood and his history, who knows what he's capable of? He could be rampaging or worse."

"What's worse?" Private asked.

Kowalski looked at Private and said, "Suicidal."

Private gasped and said, "Oh no. Let's go find him."

The penguins immediatly slid off in seperate directions. It took a momment, but Becky and Stacy went off as well. Marlene did the same as well. Now all that was in the room was Skippet and the Bronx team.

Skippet had heard the story as well and said, "He used to be human? I thought there was a reason I liked the guy."

Clemens rolled his eyes and asked, "What is up with you and humans? You act like them and you live like them. What's the deal?"

Skippet shrugged and said, "I don't know. I just like them."

(Out in the zoo)

Dave was sitting in the upper branches of a tree near the vet's office. He looked up at the moon and pondered. How can this be? Why would his mother sink so low? And worst of all, what was he going to tell Sam or his father? It was just too messed up. Why live with this knowledge? Dave looked down at the ground and thought. A quick slip and fall to the ground. It wasn't a short fall to the ground and the fall would certainly kill him. Why live like this any longer when you know that a blood relative was responsible for it. Dave tensed up and took a deep breath. He walked to the end of the branch and prepared to step off.

"DAVE DON'T!" Marlene's voice called out.

Dave turned his head and looked down. Marlene was standing beneath him and she was staring up at him.

"Don't move Dave. Let me come up there," Marlene said as she grabbed onto the trunk of the tree and began climbing up.

Dave thought about ending it now and not caring about what happened next, but he decided to wait. Wait to see what Marlene would say about what happened.

Marlene reached the branch that Dave was on and moved towards him.

"Marlene don't. Just leave me alone," Dave said as she walked towards him.

"Dave just stop. Just hear me out. This is not the solution," Marlene said trying hard to calm Dave down.

Dave looked at her and said, "No, but it'll solve all of my problems."

"No it won't Dave. It won't solve or answer anything. Maybe she doesn't know what happened."

"Did you see that photo Marlene? She's responsible. Responsible for this. Look at me."

Marlene shook her head and said, "I saw the photo Dave and I see you. I know what your mother did and what she's responsible for. But that doesn't mean that she's responsible for you."

Dave shook it off and said, "Really Marlene? What good is coming out of me? I'm not human anymore because of my mother's work."

"You don't have to look human to be human Dave. You done so much in your new form. You helped save us from a new attack from Savio, you helped a wolf pack, not to mention you and the guys saved me and a bunch of others from Hoboken. You have a lot of worth and your a good friend Dave. You have a lot to live for," Marlene assured Dave.

Dave sighed and squinted his eyes shut. He mind was a mess now. He didn't know what to think anymore. But reluctantly he stepped away from the end of the branch. He looked down, but still contemplated jumping. Marlene grabbed Dave's arm and pulled him towards her.

"Dave you come down with me. Just try to calm down," Marlene said.

Dave grunted and said, "Key word being try."

The two went over to the trunk of the tree and began their descent to the ground. When they reached the bottom, Marlene threw an arm around Dave.

"It's okay Dave. Let's just find the guys and Becky and Stacy and head back to the vet's office. At least you have some closure now," Marlene said.

Dave nodded and said, "Okay. Let's go."

Marlene nodded and the two began their search.

(Becky and Stacy)

The badger girls had been searching around the zoo for Dave, but had had no success. They were still going strong atop of a habitat wall when they heard a familiar voice call out to them.

"Hey. Guys over here," came a kids voice.

The girls turned to the sound of the voice and saw their little friend.

"Hey Jack," Becky called out to him.

The girls just climbed down into his habitat and walked over to him. The three hugged for a moment before Jack began asking some questions.

"What are you guys doing here? How did you get here?" Jack asked quickly.

Stacy patted Jack's head and said, "Well we were here to save someone, but they're out of danger. Now were looking for someone."

"Who?" Jack asked.

"One of our friends. He uh... wandered away from the rest of us and we need to find him before he hurts himself," Becky said calmly with Jack growing concerned.

"So what's going to happen if you don't find him? Jack asked, but before he could get an answer they heard Marlene calling out to them from the zoo wall.

"Hey Becky, Stacy I found Dave. We need to head back to the vet's office," Marlene said on top the habitat wall with Dave standing next to her.

"Hey Marlene," Jack called out to her.

"Hey Jack," both Marlene and Dave called out.

Becky looked back at Jack and said, "We have to go now Jack. It was great seeing you."

As they tried to walk away, Jack grabbed Becky's paw and asked, "Can I come too. It's boring around here."

Becky and Stacy both looked at Dave who just shrugged.

"Okay. Come on Jack. I'm sure the others will be happy to see you," Becky said and the girls climbed out with Jack and went with Dave and Marlene back to the vet's office.

Not much to say here. I've just got a good idea for the next chapter. Next chapter, the entire truth will be revealed.

Remember to read and review please.
