Hi everyone! It's me Rookie! Commander isn't feeling very well so she asked me to do this note that she does at the beginning and the end! This is so exciting! What am I supposed to say? *picks up paper* Oh! She has notes for me to follow! She wants me to let you down off of a cliff? *looks up* Wow that's a big cliff! *lets down* I hope that helped! Now she wants me to answer reviews and to wish a happy birthday to CrazyLips! Happy birthday!
ARB: You yell loud
Zanerexn41: Gary is very brave! He's the bravest penguin ever! Actually Jet is.
Goody50: It's ok; you're still a great penguin in my book! No hatred here. *searches for hatred*
Lolumroller: I'm a baby!?
Candence41: You can't quit if you're not on it. And she'll try to talk to Jay about the whole Jet thingy. But he's just a penguin.
We last left off where Gary was stuck in a hole!
Gary pondered in the hole for quite some time wondering how he was going to get out.
"Hmm, this is quite a predicament." Gary said
Soon a thought came to his head, almost as if someone was trying to speak to him through his mind.
Use the Jackhammer 3000, Gary said the thought.
Gary sat up a bit startled at the thought but came into reality.
"Of course! The Jackhammer!" he said grabbing the Jackhammer 3000.
Gary turned on the Jackhammer 3000 drilled himself out of the giant hole he had created.
"Most excellent if I do say so myself." Gary said
He grabbed his bag and continued waddling through the snow that was getting deeper and deeper as he continued waddling.
2 hours had passed and Gary was getting extremely exhausted. He forgot to bring his emergency coffee so he was even more exhausted than usual. He began waddling slower and slower and suddenly collapsed onto the snow out of exhaustion.
(Let's see how Belle is doing)
Belle waited for Herbert to show up. She saw him trudging along in the snow with Klutzy.
"I hate snow, I hate the cold. I hate doing this." Herbert said (Grouchy?)
"I don't care if you hate it. You're still doing it!" she shouted
Herbert walked up to her.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked
Belle took the two babies out of the bag.
"Why is this penguin orange and wearing a white Card-Jitsu belt? And why is this one yellow and wearing the same thing? Why are they so tiny!?" Herbert shouted bombarding her with questions.
"Rookie and Jet Pack Guy flipped into a symptom and turned into babies! I need your help to carry them to their destination." She explained
"Alright, fine. But where's the freaky one?" he asked
Belle looked down. "Well, I accidently threw her to the other side of Kangaroo Island using my telepathy." She said nervously
Herbert narrowed his eyes. "YOU WHAT?!"
She put her flippers up in defense. "It was an accident! I wasn't trying to; I was a bit unaware of what was going on. Another trait that we both share." She said rolling her eyes at the last comment.
"Wait a minute," Herbert said putting his paw up, "I just realized something! You made a mistake!"
Belle was confused. "What are you saying?"
"You always get mad at me for messing up; but this time, it was you who messed up and not me!" he said happily
"But you mess up on things that don't need to be messed up! And it was only one time, jeez Herbert!" Belle shouted
"You'll make a mistake again! And I'll be waiting for it! I will be there when it happens! Just you wait!" Herbert said pointing at her.
Belle looked at Herbert as if he was crazy but shook it off because of more important matters.
She picked up Baby Rookie and gave him to Herbert.
"You take this one and I'll take Jet Pack Baby." She said disgusted. (Aww! It's so cute!)
Herbert picked up Jet Pack Baby and looked at him.
"Why is his head so big?" he asked
"That's probably what baby penguins look like, I don't know!" she shouted
Baby Rookie looked into Belle's eyes and smiled showing his one tooth. (If penguins have teeth)
"Aww, he does look kinda cute." Belle said looking at Rookie
"Cute? It's probably because you're holding the fool." Herbert said looking at Jet Pack Guy.
Jet Pack Guy looked at Herbert and starting clapping his flippers together.
"Aww, you're right. He does look cute." Herbert said smiling for the first time.
Baby Rookie and Jet Pack Baby both put their flippers in their beaks and started sucking them.
"Aww!" Herbert and Belle said at the same time.
"They just look so innocent! I don't feel evil anymore!" Herbert said with pitch in his voice. (It means his voice is high while he's speaking. You know like if you were talking to a baby or a puppy your voice would get high.)
"I don't even remember why I'm here in the first place." Belle said looking at Rookie and smiling.
"I think he likes you." Herbert said referring to the fact that Rookie had taken a nap in her flippers.
"He's a little heavy when he falls asleep." Belle said.
Herbert took Rookie out of her flippers.
"Don't worry; I'll take them to bed." Herbert said
Belle waddled over to the trees and made a small bed for Baby Rookie and Jet Pack Baby. Herbert laid the babies on the bed. Afterwards the two of them went somewhere to sit down. They both fell asleep.
(This is getting weird. I'm going to Gary.)
The same Shadowbird from before was flying overhead and spotted Gary on the ground.
Gary! Oh no! Said the Shadowbird
She flew to the penguin and transformed back into her original penguin form and shook him lightly.
"Gary? Gary? Can you hear me?" she asked
Gary opened his eyes and smiled very faintly.
"Icetail?" he said very quietly
"Yes, it's me! Are you ok?" she asked
Gary didn't respond, instead he moved his flipper towards something sticking out of her pocket. It was her water bottle.
"This?" she asked pointing to it.
He nodded slowly.
She took the bottle out of her pocket and splashed a bit of water onto his face. He sat up and coughed.
"Gary, what happened?" she asked
"I became dehydrated and collapsed after waddling for so long." He said coughing
"I'm just glad I found you." She said helping him stand.
"I had forgotten to bring a water bottle for the journey. That was my mistake." Gary said blushing slightly. (He's embarrassed)
"It's ok, penguins forget things. At this rate, it'll take you a while to get to Kangaroo Island. I think you'll need something else to get you there." She said
"Like what? I have no other way of transportation." Gary said
"We'll think of something. Don't worry." She said as they both started waddling.
(Let's see Commander for a brief moment)
Bellykid was standing on the edge of a high cliff. She was still in December from last time.
"I guess this is it." She said
She waddled over to the edge and jumped.
That's the end of this chapter. And it's me Bellykid5 again. Rookie lost his fish and made me finish the author's note. But I kinda wanted to because I had something special to tell you. I know I must have told you this about a thousand times, but you guys are the greatest. You really are. I received a PM from Lake Blue1 the other day and she told me exactly this, "Your first story had an average of 4 reviews per chapter. But now, the most current story, so far has about 17(!) reviews per chapter. That's about a 325% increase!" That's exactly what Lake told me and that is truly amazing (She actually said a bit more but this is the part I wanted to share). Though I couldn't have gotten to where I am now without you guys. You guys are the reason I stalk my email and the reason I am able to write great chapters. These past few days have been hard, but I can always depend on all of you to help get me through the day. I love all of you very much and I will always be there for you whenever you need it. Ask anyone! You've been there for me so I will be there for you 24/7! That's a promise! But thank you all so very much for all that you've done and thanks for being great penguins!
Also, 2 penguins requested to be in this story so I'll put them in there in the next chapter. Oh no! She jumped! Oh no! A cliff! Oh no! You're hanging on it! Oh no! This is all I have to say. Bye!
