It was the next day at the Central Park Zoo. Rico and Private were talking about something.
Private: Wow!
Rico: I know. I'm getting hungry.
Private: Yeah when is Kowalski finished in his lab?
Kowalski walked out of the lab.
Kowalski: Sorry guys. I had to do some tests and I had to make sure the Crazy Penguin Virus was out of Skipper's body. Anyway, what's up?
Private: We're hungry.
Rico: Ooh! I got it!
Rico regurgitated a pack of gum.
Private: Gum?
Kowalski: Really? Now I know that gum might taste good but that does not fill you.
Then Rico regurgitated a bag of Lay's potato chips.
Private: Okay. That's food.
Kowalski: But Rico, it's ten o'clock in the morning. We can't eat those at this time. Oh what the heck. Pass me the bag.
Rico: Wait!
Kowalski: What?
Private: Why can't we eat the chips?
Rico: I want to do something. An experiment.
Kowalski: Really? What?
Rico: I'm going to eat this gum and make sure it's soft enough, then I am going to eat the potato chip.
Private: With the gum still in your mouth?
Rico nodded.
Private: Gross.
Kowalski: Not a good idea.
Rico took out a piece of gum and a potato chip. He ate both of them at the same time.
Private: Well? How does it taste?
Rico: Fine by me.
Kowalski laughed.
Kowalski: You're weird.
Rico: Thank you.
Kowalski: That was not a compliment.
Rico: Whatever.
Kowalski kept laughing. Skipper woke up.
Skipper: What's going on?
Kowalski: Rico's doing a very funny experiment.
Skipper: Oh. Okay.
Private: How are you feeling?
Skipper: Better. What's the experiment?
Kowalski: Rico's eating gum and potato chips.
Skipper: At the same time?
Kowalski nodded. Skipper felt a little nauseous. Private looked at Skipper.
Private: Are you alright Skipper?
Skipper: Yeah. Nope! Kowalski, I need..
Quickly Kowalski grabbed a bucket. Skipper jumped off his bunk, grabbed the bucket and left.
Private: What happened?
Kowalski: Well I gave Skipper some medicine that will cure his Crazy Penguin Virus, and one of the side effects is getting nauseous.
Rico: I thought it was my experiment.
Kowalski: It's both.
Rico: Who wants to try it?
Private: I guess I'll have a go.
Kowalski: Me too.
Kowalski and Private were eating gum and potato chips. After five minutes, Kowalski and Private spit the gum out.
Kowalski: Ugh! Disgusting.
Private: Yeah. How can you handle it Rico?
Kowalski: He's half goat Private.
Rico swallowed his piece of gum. Kowalski and Private were disgusted. Skipper came back but when he saw his brothers getting grossed out he ran back to the bathroom.
Kowalski: That was gross.
Private: Agreed.
Rico: I don't know. I liked it.
Kowalski: Like I said, you're weird.
Rico: Thanks.
Kowalski: Oh Rico.
King Julien walked in.
Julien: What's going on?
Private: Rico's eating gum and potato chips.
Julien: Gross.
Rico: Want a piece?
Julien: Ew. No thank you. Where's Skipper? I want to know if his crazy penguin flu is gone.
Kowalski: Oh. Skipper's a little nauseous. I gave him some medicine for the penguin virus but it has a messy side effect.
Private: Yeah. He's been vomiting twice today.
Julien: I can help him.
Kowalski: No Julien. You trying to help him will only make Skipper feel worse.
Julien: Fine.
Rico regurgitated a stick of gum and handed it to Julien. Julien put it in his mouth. Julien forgot to take the wrapper off. Private and Kowalski laughed.
Julien: What?
Kowalski: *while laughing* You forgot to take the wrapper off.
Julien took the piece of gum out of his mouth and saw the wrapper. Kowalski, Rico, and Private were laughing.
Kowalski: Funny.
Rico: Awesome!
Julien: Very funny penguins.
Julien took off the wrapper off and put the gum back in his mouth. The three penguins were still laughing at the lemur.
Julien: Stop laughing at me.
Private: Well you're annoying to us, so we're going to be annoying to you.
Julien: Goodbye!
Julien left. Rico took out another stick of gum and ate it.
Private: Rico, what happened to the one that you ate?
Rico: I swallowed it.
Kowalski: Oh Yeah. That was gross.
Skipper walked back.
Skipper: What did I miss?
Kowalski: Well after Rico swallowed his piece of gum, Julien walked in and he ate a piece of gum.
Private: *while laughing* But he forgot to take the wrapper off.
Kowalski: So he ate the gum with the wrapper that was still on the stick of gum.
Rico: Funny right?
Skipper: I'm not laughing.
Rico: Can I take gum on our trip?
Skipper: No. I don't want you to eat gum and potato chips on the trip. Oh man. Saying that makes me want to throw up.
Kowalski: I guess my medicine isn't working.
Private: Well if it's making Skipper sick to his stomach, it's not working.
Kowalski: Yeah. I know.
Rico put a potato chip in his mouth and then blew a bubble. The bubble was so big that it exploded all over the HQ. Skipper ran back to the bathroom and Kowalski and Private started laughing.
Rico: Ta-da!
Kowalski and Private clapped their wings together.
