Chapter 11
Skipper was stirring and his eyes gently flickered open blinking to clear his vision as he rubbed his eyes to get rid of the sleep, he yawned stretching out his muscles before trying to get up feeling the weight on his side he smiled down as he saw private fast asleep. Skipper gently moved him so as to not disturb him and laid him down on the couch covering him up with the blanket letting him sleep a little longer. he glanced at the clock, it was 08:30. so he went to the kitchen and made himself some coffee before retreating to go to the bathroom to take a warm shower.
He silently walked to the bathroom locking the door behind him and moving over to the shower switching it on and setting it to the right temperature, he got in the shower sighing with relief as he relaxed under the warm water. Skipper looked down at the floor as he saw that the water was slightly red as it went down the drain and realised hed forgotten to wash the blood of his feathers that night.
Lemur Habitat
Maurice was making Julien a mango smoothie humming a tune while he did so. Julien was sitting on his throne lazing around and doing nothing of interest. When Maurice had finished he climbed the ladder to hand it to julien when he saw a dot zoom passed him "whoa" he said as he was nearly knocked of the ladder. then he heard a voice "The Feeeet!" Maurice rolled his eyes. Julien looked mad as he started shaking his legs to shake off mort. "Mort! NOone touches the royal feet!" he shook mort off and he landed on the floor with a thud and Maurice handed him his smoothie. "Thankyou Maurice" as he started gulping it down. it pretty much went quiet again but they didn't realise one of the wooden legs on the throne during the commotion had cracked and splintered.
Penguins habitat
Private was starting to wake up rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and allowing them to adjust to the light before lifting himself up into a sitting position groaning because his muscles ached, he was brought out of his thoughts when he smelt something nice coming from the kitchen. quickly stretching of his muscles he folded up the blanket and placed it back in his bunk then walked to the kitchen.
Private smiled as he saw Skipper preparing some breakfast for them "Morning Skipper" Private said in a cheery tone. Skipper turned looking at the young penguin. "Morning young private, did you sleep alright". Private nodded "better than i thought i would, right where do you want me". Skipper looked around "actually Private im about done in here, so why don't you go and get cleaned up then we can go and get Marlene." he said as he put the knife down he used to cut up the fish. Private nodded as he left the room to go and have a shower. As Private left Skipper put the fish in the fridge to keep it chilled and as he closed it he looked at a picture hung up on the front, it was him and the team plus Marlene (and the lemurs) he smiled as he remembered when it was taken but was brought out of his thoughts to Private caling his name. they climbed through the hatch and walked to Marlenes habitat.
inside the penguins habitat there was a gust of wind and the picture blew through the air and landed on the floor near the kitchen work top and another gust of wind blew the knife along the smooth surface and landing face down on the floor sticking in the photograph.
