Disclaimer: I don't own Penguins of Madagascar or guest appearances

Normal POV

The penguins had headed back down into their HQ after a day of looking cute for the humans.

"Great job boys!" Skipper complimented, "Another day of perfect performance. You're all free to do what you like for the rest of the evening."

The other three smiled and cheered. Kowalski rushed to his lab to finish another invention Skipper assumed would only fail in the end. Rico grabbed his Ms. Perky and began to cuddle with her, even singing a little song. Private headed for the T.V and was about to put on his Lunacorn show, but stopped, "Sara used to watch the Lunacorns with me. Granted she made some mean comments about it, but we still had fun."

Skipper overheard Private, "Come on Private. Buck up. I'm sure she'll be back someday."

"But... She didn't even say goodbye to us. What if she got lost on the way to the motel?!"

Kowalski stepped out of the lab, "Don't worry Private, I'm sure she's just fine. After all it's only been... Two weeks since we... Last saw her."

"Oh don't tell me you're feeling down too Kowalski." Skipper commented.

"Well I can't help it. She was the only one who ever actually listened to me talk about my inventions and be interested."

Rico let out an 'aw' as he remembered the fun they had with the pranks and fireworks.

Skipper rolled his eyes, "Alright that's enough. Look I know you all miss her, but we gotta face the facts. Sara's a human. She has a human life and can't be with us all the time."

Kowalski sniffed, "You're right Skipper. As a teenage girl she needs time with her own girlfriends to do... Whatever human females do."

Private sighed. He understood what Kowalski and Skipper were trying to say, but he still wished she could've let them know ahead of time or say goodbye.

Suddenly the door opened. They immediately got into position, ready to fight whoever intruded. Standing there, was an awkward brown squirrel, "Uh... Hi."

Skipper glared, "Alright mammal, who are you working for? And how did you get into our HQ?"

The squirrel scoffed, "Geez Skippy calm down will you. Is that anyway to treat a friend?"

"Friends are only enemies who have yet to attack and we don't even know you!"

"Of course you say that," She sighed, "Okay how do I do this."

She started walking around the HQ, which infuriated Skipper. He lunged for her, but she stepped out the way. Shaking her head she spoke, "Come on guys. It's been, what, two weeks? You guys couldn't have forgotten about me so quickly. Then again, the squirrel thing is new to you guys."

Private blinked and recognized her voice, "Sara?"

"Bingo! Congrats Private you get a prize!"

The others gave it some thought but also recognized how the squirrel was talking. Kowalski sputtered, "But-but this is.. It's not even.. How?! It's not possible!"

"Which is why I don't believe it," Skipper said, "If you really are Sara, then tell us one thing only she would know."

"I met you guys personally the day after one of you blew up a tree behind me. I got a job at the zoo and proved I knew about you guys cause I used one of your secret tunnels to get in the HQ, which I did multiple times. I was kidnapped by Blowhole after I attempted suicide and then-"

"Ok ok! We get it! You really are Sara." Skipper exclaimed.

Private stepped up, "But what happened to you? Why did you disappear? How did you become a squirrel?"

Sara looked away as her ears fell and hugged herself, "Well... I got a call from my parents telling me I had to get home immediately, meaning I had to get on the next plane ride. I packed as quickly as I could so I could still say bye. But it didn't work out like I thought it would."

She turned away so her back was to them, "The day after I got back, I found out that my parents were in deep debt. I think it may be because of the classes I had to take. So to get them more money... I ran away. You know... So their insurance company could give them some. I figure that of they got enough, they could at least pay off some of their debts."

"But... But running away is never the answer," Private gawked, "I don't think your parents can take losing you again."

"They have two little ones at home! They can afford to lose their oldest for now."

Silence followed, then Kowalski spoke, "Um aside from you running away... How did you become an animal?"

Sara turned around, "Blowhole. He captured me again. Turns out he was still pretty peeved that I ruined his plan last time, so he kinda turned me into a squirrel. I'm not sure why a squirrel, or an animal at all, but it happened."

"Wait!" Kowalski interrupted, "Blowhole successfully turned you into an animal!? Oh evil geniuses get all the good stuff."

"... Anyway I was able to escape and ran to Central Park. There I met a familiar face. Believe it or not, The Red Squirrel helped me out."

Skipper glared, "The Red Squirrel!? Penguin enemy-!"

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah! I know Penguin enemy #1! Will you guys stop interrupting me?" Silence, "Thank you. Now lets see, Red helped me out but only if I agreed to be his little minion. I don't know about you guys, but if you suddenly turned into a different species and have no where else to go, would you accept some help? I agreed to be his minion. I had no choice."

"Couldn't you have come to us? I'm sure Kowalski could've turned you back." Private asked.

"We'll that was my original plan, but I kinda ran into him first. Besides, knowing Kowalski's inventions, it'll take him a while to successfully convert an animal to a human without them blowing up."

Kowalski pouted and muttered, "I could've found a way."

She continued, "But the funny thing is... I kinda like staying with him. He's not so bad once you get to know him. And look on the bright side Skipper, as long as I'm Red's minion, I have access to all the other villain's upcoming plans."

Sara flashed Skipper a knowing smile. Skipper stayed silent as to think about the situation, "Hmm well that could be useful."

He sighed, "Just be careful not to get caught. We're counting on you to fill us in on the twisted minds of this world."

"Pfft, me get caught? Hehe don't make me laugh Skipper. I'm as quiet as a mouse and sneaky like a snake. And don't worry," Sara head toward the fish plaque on the wall, "You guys can count on me. By the way, Hans is planning a surprise attack with a new weapon. Don't know what exactly, but I'll fill you guys in when I do."

She opened up the hidden opening and was about to crawl through when she remembered something, "Oh I almost forgot. Call me Angel from now on."

"Angel?" Rico asked.

"Yeah, so Blowhole can't find me as easily. See yah!" She climbed through the opening and left.

Skipper narrowed his eyes, "Alright men, it seems we have another animal to keep a close eye on."

"Another? You mean Sa- er Angel?" Private asked.

"Affirmative Private."

"But why? She's a good friend of ours, why would she turn her back on us?"

"She's staying with Penguin Enemy #1! Open your eyes Private! My gut is telling me that her little story isn't real. Something's fishy about it. And you all know what I say about my gut!"

The other three sighed and simultaneously answered, "Your gut is always right."

"That's right! She's up to something, I can feel it." Skipper said.

"But sir, S- um Angel just doesn't seem the type to plan something behind a someone's back. Maybe you're being just the teensiest bit too paranoid." Kowalski stated.

Skipper narrowed his eyes, causing Kowalski to nervously stepped back, "Of course you're gut is always right, so she must be up to something. Heheh."

From behind the fish plaque, Angel listened in on the penguins, "Hmm, forgot about Skipper's gut. Now I really have to be careful."

"How ironic you told them you ran away when you were really kidnapped."

Angel sighed, "In a way, I did run away Dark. It was my choice to leave Cali and I didn't want to leave New York in the first place. I wasn't kidnapped."

"Angel... Are you good or bad?"

"... I'm a mixture of both. I wasn't kidding when I said I'd fill them in on the villains plans. Nor was I kidding when I said I liked staying with Red."

"Oh okay! Whatever makes you happy! Cause if you're happy, we're happy!"

"Not exactly Childish. You see we can still feel different emotions from Angel, though we do influence her in a way."

"Brainiac's right. Dark is a good example, I could feel happy while she's still feeling down."

Stepping away from the opening, Angel began walking down the tunnel and into the sewer. On the way, she saw Rat King and sent him a wave. He didn't know she was the same girl who kicked him in the nether regions, so they were on okay terms. "Hmm, that reminds me, I should've told them I've been back for the past week already. Oh well."

During her walk down the sewers, Angel thought back to how she came back.

Only ten minutes into the lunch period and students were still cramming into lines for lunch, snack bar, and student store. The campus flooded with students hanging out with their friends while staff members surveyed different areas to keep everything in order. Just outside the cafeteria, a two girls sat at a table next to one of their friends.

One of them spoke, "Hey Sara, what are we doing in Spanish."

The other answered, "Christina she has her earphones on. She can't hear you."

"Right. So Katelyn, have you read the book yet?"

"Yeah! I love it! Especially all the little romantic moments."

"Really? I like the awkward flirty moments between them."

As Christina and Katelyn continued their conversation, Sara looked gloomily at her food. Her music was the usual loud volume so she couldn't hear what her friends were talking about. They sometimes don't include her in their conversations, so she's mainly left alone to her thoughts. Normally she'd get lost in her own little world, but ever since her mom brought her back from New York she felt down and depressed.

'Just doing your job, huh Dark.' Sara got no answer. The girls usually didn't come out during school, in fact they hardly came out at all since she got back. Frankly, Sara started to miss their little fights and presence. Something to distract her from her small depression. Now that she more depressed, her psychiatrist had a harder time helping her.

She got up and threw away her unfinished food and sat back down. 'Mmm, I wanna walk around. But I can't leave or else these two'll follow me. Being alone sounds nice right now. Maybe I could chat with some animals.'

While Sara moped, Katelyn saw someone looking their way. This caught Christina's attention, "What is it?"

"They guy over there, he's staring at us. So creepy."

Christina turned around and saw a boy with reddish hair and green eyes looking their way. She turned around and both laughed at the creepy awkwardness. They stopped when the boy appeared at their table, "Hello girls. Mind if I have a word?"

From the corner of her eye, Sara saw the boy come up and looked up at him. Her eyes widened when she realized it was someone she knew, "Clemson!?"

Her friends looked at her as if to ask if she knew him. Their question was answered when Clemson spoke, "That's my name. Nice to see you again Sara, sure took a while to find you. Mind if I talk with you in private?"

Sara took her earphones out, "Um sure."

The two walked away. From behind, Sara heard Katelyn asked, "Do you know him?"

"Not a clue."

She rolled her eyes and lead Clemson toward the abandoned teachers' lounge. She turned to him, "Alright spill, what are you doing here?"

"Looking for you that's what I'm doing here. I didn't realize how hard it would be finding you."

"Well I never told what city in from or school I go to. Guess you know now. But... Why are you here?"

"To bring you back to New York, of course. Why else would I be here?"

Sighing, Sara shook her head, "Clemson you can't just walk onto a school campus. The whole school could've gone on lockdown of everyone was still in class."

He chuckled, "Well I'm not one to listen to rules, am I? I thought you wanted to stay in New York with us."

"I do, honest. Believe me I would've stayed if my mom hadn't found me. But here I'm an entirely different person. I actually listen to the rules, so I'm not gonna ditch school just to go back to another state."

"So... We came all this way with false hope you'd come back?"

"Look, I'm sorry Clemson but-... Did you say 'we'? Who's 'we'?"

Clemson raised an eyebrow, "Well Hans, Savio and Red obviously. Who else?"

"... Okay Red I understand, but Hans and Savio? What would they be doing here?"

"We didn't have a choice." Said a voice with a German accent.

Sara swiveled around to find human Hans and Savio leaning against the nearby trees. Savio spoke next, "They needed some help getting Blowhole's platform transporter, so it was either be left behind and deal with an angry Blowhole or catch a ride with them."

A thin man with deep red hair and eyes stepped out, "It's good to see you again Sara."

She recognized the Russian accent and stared in awe, "Dang. You are one handsome human Red. And let me just say that is the first time I've ever said that."

Red smirked as Clemson chuckled nervously, "Um mind filling in why he's here exactly."

"Oh right, he-," Sara glanced at Hans and Savio before whispering to Clemson, "He knows about the girls. You know, the voices in my head."

He nodded in understanding, "Oh... Ok that makes sense. Now back to he matter at hand, are you back coming or not?"

Sara glanced between the villains, mainly Clemson and Red. All eyes were on her.

"That was a fun day," Childish giggled, "Remember how everyone ran away after seeing the flying platform thingy."

Since Angel was no longer a human, the girls had changed as well. They still looked exactly like her, except they were still their own different colors. Childish had green fur and eyes.

"I believe it's called a Platform Transporter, Childish." Brainiac corrected. She had orange fur and eyes. Her oversized glasses were still there and a book was pressed against her chest.

Fangirl giggled, "You'd think Blowhole would come up with a better name for it." She had pink fur and eyes.

Artistic nodded in agreement. She had blue fur and eyes. Some paint was present on her paws and in some parts of her fur.

Angel reached a ladder and climbed up, "I'm sure he has another name for it. That's just what we call it since it's basically just a floating platform."

She opened the top and hopped out, finding herself just outside the Central Park. Fangirl asked if they could go see the Hobokeners.

"Sure, I don't see why not."

She squealed excitedly only to have Brainiac interrupt, "Um, shouldn't we ask Red of we could go first?"

"Pfft why?" Dark commented. She had black fur and eyes, "We don't need to ask him, he's not our dad or anything. We can do what we want remember."

"Well we should at least tell him where we're going. He only knew we were going to see the penguins."

"Sorry Dark, but I'm with Brainiac on this one. And I'm sure everyone else is too."

The others nodded with agreement as Dark rolled her eyes. Angel headed back for Red's tree base and knocked on the passage opening, "Hey Red, can yah hear me?"

"Loud and clear," Red replied. Looking up, Angel found him looking down at her from one of the trees holes.

"Just letting you know I'm gonna go visit Hoboken. That cool?"

He looked nervous for a moment, "Um, alright. Just be very careful. I don't want my little sister getting lost or taken. I don't know what I'd do of someone close to me got kidnapped again."

"Don't worry I've been there before. Wait, again? Someone was kidnapped before?"

"Yes, her name is Cartoongirl. Once you get more acquainted with us I'm sure you'll meet her, hopefully in your human form," he paused for a moment, "Well I guess there really isn't nothing to worry about. There's no one after you as far as I know. Just contact me when you get there alright."

She playfully rolled her eyes, "Alright, I'll be careful and contact you when I get there. Besides, if there is someone after me, which I doubt, how would they find out I've turned into a squirrel."

Angel ran off with Red waving to her. He sighed, "Oh please let nothing happen to her."

"Yay! We're gonna go to Hoboken!" Fangirl exclaimed.

"We're just going to another zoo, no need to bust our eardrums." Dark sneered.

Angel crawled up a electrical pole, figuring it would be faster to get to the subway. She stared at the electrical wires before her, "Well... This looks dangerous."

Crazy cackled, "Do it! Do it! Do it!" She had messy purple fur and eyes. The straight jacket was still strapped on.

Angel took a deep breath and raced across the wires. While doing so, she thought back to how she really became a squirrel.

As the platform neared New York, Sara looked at everything below them, "Wouldn't someone see us?"

Red came up next to her, "No, you see Blowhole installed a cloaking mechanism so if someone were to look up, all they would see is sky."

"Clever thinking."

"Well he's not an evil genius for nothing. By the way, before we get there I want you to try something I made myself."

Red walked over to a bag he supposedly brought and pulled out a watch. Sara groaned, "Another watch? First I got one from Kowalski so I could keep in contact with the penguins, then I was given one so I could send reports to DBL. What's this one for?"

"Well, it does count for a communicator but this one does something more," He handed it to her, "Put it on and press the button to the far right."

Obeying, Sara put the watch on and heard Childish say, "Buttons, buttons. I like pressing buttons."

She chuckled with amusement and pressed the button. A numb feeling spread over her body, but she could still feel something happening to her. She could tell she was shrinking, her skeletal structure began making modifications, and something was slowly stretching out on her backside.

The Hobokeners watched in awe as she began to change. They knew Red had brought her something, but they didn't know exactly what. After a minute, only a small brown fur ball was left. Sara opened her eyes and looked at her hands only to find that she had paws instead. She stood up and found she was Red's height. As she stood, the Hobokeners saw brown squirrel instead of a human.

After a moment of silence, Red asked, "So what do you think?"

"This... Is..." She didn't finish the sentence. By now Red started getting a bit worried, thinking it might not have been a good idea to suddenly change her species.

"Awesome!" Her outburst made them all jump, "This is so trippy! I'm an animal. Oh my god I have a tail! This is so awesome!"

Red smiled, "I'm glad you like it. And if you ever want to turn back human, just press the button to the far left."

Clemson chuckled as she jumped around excitedly. Sara turned back to Red, "Quick question, how?"

"Working with Blowhole has it's perks. That watch holds the same technology he used to turn us human, only this is programmed to turn the wearer into a squirrel."

"Why a squirrel? N-not that there isn't anything wrong with squirrels, just you know, out of curiosity... Why?"

Red chuckled and walked up to her, "I wanted to ask you something. As you know your mentality interests me greatly. So I was wondering if you'd like to stay with me in my base."

Sara stared at him blankly, "I think you're a little too old for me Red."

The Hobokeners burst out laughing as Red stuttered, "Th-that isn't what I meant! No-not in a rom-romantic way! I meant in um... A close friend type of stay. I'll leave the romance to Clemson."

Clemson stopped laughing and blushed.

"So what do you say? Care to stay? Who knows, maybe we'll end up being like a family."

Sara giggled, "That sounds pretty cheesy. Hmm... Why not! And indeed, maybe we end up as one, like brother and sister."

"If we do, we'll be just that."

Clemson came up next to me, "Uh Red do you mind I steal Sara away for a moment."

He pulled her the farthest he could from the others and turned to her, "Okay here we go. Sara we've been through a lot and-"

"Just stop right there for a moment. If I'm getting a new identity, then I'm gonna change me name."

"Change your name?"

"Why not? I've already changed species, what harm could it do to change my name too?"

"Uh... Okay. It's your choice, what's your new name?"

Sara paused and thought for a moment then she smiled, "Angel. I wanna be Angel."

"Okay then Angel it is," He took her hands in his, "So as I was saying, we've been through quite a bit together and well... I was wondering if you'd like to... Well um..."

"I think I know where this is going."

He chuckled, "Well... Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

Angel reached the area the subway was in and crawled down the electrical pole. She looked around to make sure no humans were around and ran for the subway entrance. Once inside, once or twice tripping down the stairs, she looked around and waited for a subway to come along.

As she waited, Angel saw a man slip in some unknown liquid. She let out a laugh as he struggled to get up. "Angel it's not nice to laugh at others misfortunes. That man could've really hurt himself," Brainiac lightly scorned.

"Ah so what? These people should watch where their going." Sadistic smirked. She had rad fur and eyes. If one were to look closely, they would see some blood splattered on her fur.

Some feet away two people, who were paying more attention to their phones rather than what's in front of them, crashed into each other. Angel laughed again as Sadistic smirked, making her point.

A train for Hoboken arrived, Angel immediately scurried on and hid under the seats in case someone was in the same car as she was. Once the coast was clear, she got up on one of the seats. On the way, Fangirl brought up a topic Angel wasn't to keen on talking about, "So are we gonna check on Clemson. Have you changed your mind?"

Angel sighed, "No Fangirl I haven't changed my mind. My decision was final, you know that."

"But he's so cute! I thought you wanted to be with him?"

"I said no for a reason. Can you imagine the stress he'd have trying to deal with you guys?"

"Um she has a point," Brainiac interrupted, "And she did explain why it wouldn't work out, something he understood."

"Thank you Brainiac. With you girls, things would just be too crazy for him. You girls make my emotions too flip-floppy. Fangirl, you'd stick be his side like the 'Overly Obsessed Girlfriend' meme. Sadistic, you'd try to hurt him every chance you get. Crazy's just too wild. Dark, you'd get into a fight with him with your snarky comments and sarcastic manner. And we all know what would happen if Killer got out again."

"Okay you've made your point!" Fangirl pouted.

"I'm glad you understand now."

Childish spoke after a moments silence, "Still, it was sad to see him so upset."

The rest of the ride was silent. It seemed like an eternity until the train finally reached Hoboken. Angel got off and made sure not to be seen by any humans, luckily she wasn't. Going out into the streets, Angel thought about what to do, "Lets see, should I go as i am now or as a human?"

"If you go as a squirrel, unless you're careful, you might run into dogs or other dangerous animals. If you go as a human, there's a chance you'll get mugged or attacked... Maybe even worse," Brainiac calculated.

"Thanks for the positive overview," Angel said bluntly, "I'll take my chance with animals."

With that Angel climbed up a nearby electrical pole and hoped no one would crash into it. She continued on her way to the zoo, occasionally running into some pigeons who pecked at her, but she made it in one piece, "See that wasn't so bad."

"Those pigeons were mean! Why would they do that?" Childish pouted.

"One word: Hoboken." Dark irritably replied.

Angel rolled her eyes and scurried down the pole. Before she ran inside, she contacted Red to let him know she arrived. After that had been done, she headed for the lemur habitat and climbed up the wall. Below she saw Clemson hitting a ball back forth on the wall.

"That bored huh?" She called.

Clemson jumped at her voice and looked up. His expression saddened a little, "Yeah. We usually don't get any visitors."

She hopped down next to him, "So... Um how was your day?"

"Eh. Same old, same old. Still kinda waiting for lunch. Those zookeepers always forget about me."

Angel noticed his sad expression, "... I'm sorry Clemson. I know you like me, but it just wouldn't work. The girls aren't exactly very easy to handle. I wouldn't want you to get stressed dealing with them... Or worse."

He sighed, "I know. You refused for my own good. Still I think I could've handled it."

"One of them almost killed you because you got me angry."

"..."

The two sat together quietly, neither could think of something to talk about. Fangirl was staring at Clemson intently then a wide smile spread across her face. She whispered in Angel's ear as she repeated, "You know, I bet there's someone better for you than me."

He scoffed, "Oh yeah, who?"

Angel smiled at what Fangirl said next, "Oh just someone who you happen to already know. Someone who may even like you back... Someone who happens to live very close to you."

Clemson looked at her strangely, "Who are you talking about exactly?"

She giggled and climbed back up on a dying tree. He called out to her, "H-hey! Where are you going? Who were you talking about!?"

Back up on the wall, Angel looked out toward the puffin habitat and looked back down, "Trust me, you'll find out soon enough of he is."

With that she winked down at him and left. He stood there analyzing her words, "... Wait a minute! What do you mean 'he'!? Angel! Sara!"

Hans was resting on top of his berg when he heard Clemson yelling out. He looked up and saw a certain brown squirrel heading his way. He inwardly groaned. Knowing it would make his friend upset, Hans didn't tell Clemson what he thought about Angel. He didn't really like her, in fact he kinda hated her. Hans wasn't sure why, but when he saw the two together he felt... Odd. Angry, he was sure, but the was something else. Something he couldn't put his flipper on.

When he tried telling Ocean about it, she only smirked mischievously and shook her head.

Before Hans knew it, Angel was there standing beside him, "Hey Hans, how's it going?"

He forced a smile, "Oh not much, just relaxing."

"That's cool. Pretty sunny day today."

"Ja. I have to admit it's a nice day. Perfect weather."

"I hate sunny days." She replied darkly.

He looked at her with a surprised look and found a scowl etched on her face. Then she took a deep breath and turned back to him with a smile. She was a confusing girl, that was something Hans was sure everyone would agree with. Moving on he asked, "Is there a reason you're here?"

Her smile disappeared and sighed, "Look Hans I know you don't like me, but just a little heads up, Clemson's free."

"... What?"

"Clemson, he's free for the taking. I turned him down remember."

"Okay... And you're telling me this why?"

She giggled, "I'm sure you know why. Ocean told me about how you felt when I was with Clemson. Not that hard to figure out really."

Angel hopped out of the habitat, leaving behind a confused Hans. She headed for the Zoo entrance and turned back in time to see Clemson had reached the top of the wall. Both had watched her run off and looked at each other in confusion. Angel laughed to herself and reflected how much her life had changed. She was no longer human, most of her sanity had drained, and now she had both good and evil friends.

"This is gonna be one crazy life." Angel said to herself as she started back for New York.

I'm done! Here's the long chapter to make for the previous short one. And not only that, it's the last chapter!

Childish: Aw, it's over.

Brainiac: I'm afraid so Childish.

Fangirl: But look on the bright side, now Angel can pay more attention to her other fics. Isn't that exciting!

... Yay.

Artistic: Thou hast neglected many a story.

Dark: Will you quit talking like that! No one can understand you!

Anyway! Time to end this story so good bye to those who are actually still reading this! 'Til next time!
