A.N.-Okay here's chapter 14. It's too short and probably boring, just letting you know. I had a whole lot of homework so I didn't have much time. I know it's a horrible chapter. The next one WILL be better; I promise! Oh well, enjoy.

Chapter 14: Skippsy's Visit

(Nobody's POV)

Day 16

Today was Friday; the end to another long week. Everyone was still tired from their adventure the night before, so they were thrilled when the zoo closed its doors again for the day. "Ah, finally!" Skipper says. "I'll give everyone the night off again, mostly just because I'm tired and want to sleep. So, that means no arguments you two." Skipper looks specifically at Private and Trixy when he says that last part.

"Yes, sir." They say. Skipper hops down into the HQ and then to his bunk. Private and Trixy look at each other.

"Private, I have a slight problem…" Trixy says.

"What?" Private asks. They were now in Trixy's habitat.

"In an hour Skippsy's going to be here. I didn't want to tell Skippah, but…"

"Oh, I see. Um, well, maybe she could do the training or whatevah out in the park so that it's quiet for Skippah."

"That's brilliant, Private. Okay, now we wait."

"Um, Trixy, there's something I've been meaning to ask you…"

"Yes?" But before Private could answer; Skippsy rolls into view from under a bush.

"Hello, soldiers." Says Skippsy. Private and Trixy snaps to attention. "At ease."

"Hello, Skippsy, um, can we have the training in the park." Trixy asks.

"And why would we do that? Oh, don't tell me you forgot to tell Skipper I was coming, did you?" Skippsy asks.

"Um, we had a busy night yesterday, so yeah, I forgot, sorry."

"What type of 'busy night'?" Skippsy asks her eyes narrowing. Realization of what Skippsy had thought that she had meant hit Trixy. She blushes.

"We had a recon night last night. That's all, nothing else." Skippsy looks relieved and Private looks confused.

"Um, can someone tell me what you are talking about I'm lost." Private says. Skippsy laughs.

"It's nothing you need to worry yourself about, Private. Okay, I think I'll go pay my brother a visit, I'll be back." Skippsy slides off to Skipper's HQ. Private turns to Trixy.

"What were you talking about?"

"Nothing. Can you help me find the ninja pins? I think I've misplaced them somewhere…again."

(Skipper's POV)

No, come back! I was running through a dark forest….made of green needles. No, don't leave me here alone! I was running and running after an object far ahead of me. It kept just being just out of my reach. It was my coffee cup."Skipper. Skipper." The coffee cup calls in my dream.

"No, come back. Don't leave me here again!" I say in my sleep.

"Skip-per. Skipper, wake up. SKIPPER! WAKE UP ALREADY!" says Skippsy gently shaking me. I wake up with a start.

"What? Skippsy? What are you doing here?" I sit up in my bunk.

"Technically I'm here to check on Trixy's training, but I thought I'd pay my brother a visit first."

"Oh. Did anyone know you were coming?"

"Yes and no. I sent Trixy a letter, but she forgot about it because of some sort of recon you had last night."

"Oh. Alright. Well, we've visited, now I'm going back to bed." I turn over in my bunk and go back to sleep. Skippsy must have let herself back out.

(Trixy's POV)

Skippsy waddles back over to us with Skipper's bag of ninja bowling pins. "Alright, let's go to the park." She says. We go to the park and she quizzes me on everything she's taught me so far. This took roughly three hours. Then Skippsy left as suddenly as she had come.

"Okay, Private, so what were you going to ask me earlier?" I ask him once we were back in my habitat.

"Um, I forgot."

"Oh, okay." I say smiling. "Let's go watch something on the telly." We turn on the TV and flip through the channels.
