Marlene walked inside her home after the zoo had closed, and after Alice had her usual rounds. In her hands was the picture of her and Skipper standing next to each other drawn by the young girl she believed was name Jessica, at least that was according to the angry boy.

Carlene fell to the bed exhausted from the days work, it hadn't been that busy in a while, and despite how much fun it was to have people marvel over them, it was tiring to entertain them with various tricks and routines. Marlene of course took lots of interest in Jessica, and admired the picture with bliss.

The sewer gate swung up, causing Carlene and Darlene to jump, how ever Marlene was still sucked into the picture that was now hung on the wall, next to her wall paintings.

"That was some day." Private exclaimed happily in his British tone. Marlene turned around to face Private and Skipper as usual. She happily came over to join in the talk of that days events and knew sooner or later the topic of Jessica would come up.

"I thought it was rather tiring." Carlene complained Skipper nodded his head in agreement, Darlene was over in the corner tying up her stuff getting ready to go home. Skipper waddled over to her and kneeled down to stare at her from eye level.

"Why packing up so early?" Skipper asked, he held a certain smile, like he knew something the others didn't know. "Cause I got to go home today, I was only here for the weekend." She sniffed lightly and continued to fumble with her bag.

"So you can't stay any longer?" He tilted her eyes downward at her, trying to get a smile on her face, Marlene stepped forward and stood beside Skipper.

"Skipper, do you know something we don't?" She asked suspiciously, Marlene knew when Skipper was holding back, or knew something they didn't.

"What could I possibly know, I do however, have a note, from a certain someone's parents that is giving her permission to stay another 2 days, while they are on a quick Vacation." He let a sly mile cross his face while he let Marlene take it in.

Darlene was the first to jump in excitement, She jumped into Marlene's arms who was next to find herself jumping up and down in happiness. Skipper took a few steps back getting out of the way of the two girls who were jumping up and down excitedly.

Before long Carlene was next to them cheering in happiness, he admired the 3 sisters who were happily hugging and jumping up and down, that is until something caught his eye. He waddled over to the wall behind the counter and stared up.

Marlene froze instantly, and came up behind Skipper, she hesitated for a second than stared at the picture on the wall that Jessica had drawn. Skipper flinched several times, he sought through his mind for a minute or two, trying to think up what to say.

"Where did that come from," H blurted it was the first thing he could think of, Although the picture had a striking resemblance of him and Marlene, he'd never seen it before and could tell it was hand drawn.

"This morning a girl came by and started drawling me." Marlene answered sheepishly, Skipper stared back at Marlene the innocent look in her eyes, and her admiration for the picture.

"The girl who round house kicked someone?" Marlene nodded her head quickly, not taking her eyes off the picture, at first Skipper seemed hesitant, he was always paranoid but when the girl was there, he didn't feel like being paranoid and running tests or missions.

"I think, her name was Jessica, she was so interesting." Marlene leaned in and put her head on Skippers shoulder, he flinched but than put a flipper over her shoulder. He didn't like that boy that she had hi, why had he been so violent around her.

"I'm still keeping an eye on her." Skipper fused instantly,

"I don't expect any less." Marlene reached up and peaked his beak ever so lightly. Private was standing by the sewer gate with Carlene at his side, She kissed him on his cheek making him blush lightly. Darlene covered her eyes quickly and waited for Marlene to tell her it was ok.

She gave a slight smile, and curled up on the piles of pillows, the longer she stayed the easier it would be to scheme on getting Marlene and Skipper closer together. She closed her eyes and readied herself for sweet dreams, about endless plans and tactics.

Darlene learned from her sister Carlene how to get people closer together, and For her next big plan she was going to need Kowalski and Rico. A sly smile crossed her face as she began to think on how to start it, first she would need the right equipment and diagram, and that's were Rico and Kowalski came in.

She wasn't sure where to begin and for a decent plan she was going to need Carlene as well, but the final outcome would be a product she'd be glad to use. Suddenly a plan popped into her mind, she was going to need all the help she could get.

She soon found herself sneaking over to the Chimps habitat, while Carlene and Marlene slept soundly. If this plan was going to work, she would need to learn herself how to draw, and read.
