Another Penguin To The Zoo

Chapter 10

Popcorn Quest

The zoo was open and so the penguins were safe from Hades. But then it also meant hey couldn't do their training. The kids once again swarmed around the penguin enclosure causing Julian slightly angry, but the anger was quickly swept of his face when he saw that Lindsey, who was waving at him, smiling.

"Hi Julian," she said sweetly. This seemed to have a rather calming affect on Julian.

"Your majesty it seems like a nice day for some dancing," Maurice said making Julian jump of his throne, straight onto the ground, where he danced to the music that came from the zoo entrance. A couple of kids giggled at this, giving Julian a mango.

Unfortunately the kids got into trouble as Alice came giving them a lecture, "No feeding the animals, it even says in the zoo brochure!"

The penguins however, still had a way of getting fish. They made a box with the writing 'put your fish donations here and so every time did tricks they would get fish without Alice seeing it. They always put it away when she was coming round to check on the animals. This time the boys wanted to have a treat though and so they agreed that, after the zoo closed, they would sneak into the zoo's storage room and take a bag of popcorn. "Lindsey, you're coming with us. Don't worry no one except from the animals in this zoo know about our Popcorn quest," Skipper explained.

Lindsey nodded and the penguins headed of to the storage.

They managed to get there quickly and without a problem. Alice must have changed the security system and so they had to figure out a letter code. For Kowalski this was way too simple, but then again, Kowalski was smarter than some people so it didn't surprised any of the other penguins when he managed to guess that the password was AERGKCKLOP. Which stands for alligator, elephant, rhinoceros, gorilla, kangaroo, chimp, koala, lemur, otter and penguin. After Kowalski's explanation, it began to make sense - these animals were the zoo's main attractions.

As the penguins got into the storage they searched for the popcorn. Soon enough, Lindsey spotted the bag of popcorn and the five penguins exited the storage room. They locked the storage and slid off to their enclosure. "Great work, agent Innocent, great work boys," Skipper said smiling at the others.

Soon they heated the popcorn seeds and they burst turning into the yummy, lovely popcorn. "Mmm this sure tastes nice!" Lindsey exclaimed happily.

The penguins ate the popcorn to a lovely movie called Happy Feet. Private kept saying "Awe" whenever he saw a baby penguin, at which Rico wanted to puke, but he had to admit that he too enjoyed the film.

"I think it's time for lights out," Skipper announced at the end of the day, and they all went to sleep.

Lindsey: "Well this is one of the only calm chapters in this story, so I hope you've all enjoyed it and that you'll all keep on reading!"

"Hey that's my part, you, you... smoothie!"

Lindsey: "Who cares? I mean, I don't." *She shrugs*

"I care, so stop saying what am meant to say."

Skipper: "Lights out soldiers!" *switches off all lights*

"Come on I can't write in the dark!" *switches on lamp*

Skipper: "I said lights out!"

"What the-,"
