Chapter 10- Goodbye, For Now
"Now guys, can't we talk about this?" asked Amy nervously. "We could do that at HQ. Rico, tie her up." ordered Skipper
The penguin with the Mohawk regurgitated along coil of rope and fastened Amy's flippers behind her back.
He pushed her forward and she was being directed to the penguin HQ. Rico and Kowalski were holding on to her flipper to make sure she couldn't run off.
"Um, Skippy? Just what exactly are you going to do to me?" asked Amy curiously. "Don't call me that! And, we'll put it to a vote." snapped back Skipper.
"Well, could you leave Rico out of it?" Everyone glanced at Rico who was laughing wickedly with a chainsaw.
When he saw everyone looking at him, he swallowed the chainsaw and chuckled sheepishly. "I will consider it." answered Skipper.
The group of six continued walking in an awkward silence. Amy was trying to get the roped off but they were to secure. She quickly glanced up at the sky,
'Not yet, Amy.' she thought to herself. Rico gave her a nudge to get her to keep moving. "I got to ask you a question though." said Kowalski.
Amy tilted her head towards the tall bird. "How did you get mine and Blowhole's inventions?" "I found about floor 13 and Blowy has a room for his inventions. I seriously think you should upgrade your security." Amy joked.
'How is she so cheerful? She just got captured. She's got to be up to something' thought Kowalski.
"And also, why did you make the weakness for the box mango?" asked Kowalski confused. "You wouldn't have ever guessed it. I could've taken over the world if it weren't for the idiotic lemur." murmured the Chinstrap Penguin.
She glanced up at the sky. 'Still not here yet?' she asked to herself. They were in Central Park. The leaves were now crimson red and golden yellow due to the season.
The fallen leaves made a crunching noise as the animals were treading over. It was a miracle no human had spotted them yet.
Out of the blue, Amy bolted upright causing Rico and Kowalski to grab a hold of her flippers. "Wow, where do you think you're going?" demanded Skipper.
'I'm getting out of here of course." replied Amy. She did a back flip causing Rico and Kowalski to tumble backwards.
Skipper and Private lunged forward but smacked into each other when she jumped upward. She made a run for it.
"After her!" Skipper called out. The five gave chase. Amy scaled up a tree. On a branch she adjusted her flippers so they were tied in front of her.
The penguins looked up into the tree. "Ha! How do you think you're going to escape up there?" asked Skipper.
"I'm just catching my ride." replied the penguin grinning. The whirring of helicopter blades were heard before a helicopter was hovering above a tree.
"Well, we'll meet again! But for now, Au revoir!" Amy did a salute and hopped into the plane. Before, Blowhole and the avians could give chase, the helicopter took off.
"Did anyone see that coming?" asked Blowhole. The penguins gave a simultaneous head shake. "So what now Skippah?" asked Private.
"Of course we get snow cones! We never got too!" answered Skipper. :Oh joy!" exclaimed Private gleefully. "Snow cones!" said Blowhole.
The penguins stared at him. He looked back awkwardly and then said, "Can't I get one too?" The penguins shrugged and the five headed over to hijack the snow cone cart.
*Back in the helicopter*
"Well, thanks for the ride, Henry. I don't know what I would've done." said Amy. The pilot briefly turned around showing those familiar emerald green eyes under his cap.
"No problem Amelia. What are friends for?" asked the penguin. They rode in another few minutes in silence.
"So, do you have another plan for the penguins and Doctor Blowhole?" asked Henry. Amy shrugged in response.
"Not yet, but I have the feeling this won't be the last time I visit New York…"
And that's the end of the story! I hope you enjoyed it. I might do a sequel. If you have any ideas could you send it to me in review or PM? Anyway, please review!
