"Kowalski new year status report!"Skipper ordered, as the second in command entered the base.

"Final patrol of 2020 complete, "the analyst replied, "Japan, Rio, North and South Korea and Africa have celebrated theirs. The US is away from its countdown."

"Execelante! "the leader said pleased,"Rico! Update on the sushi! "

The weapons expert was busy slicing and dicing fish with his knives. On the other hand Private was busy watching a special episode of his favorite show.

As soon as the episode ended the news came on, "This is Chuck Charles and I am reporting live from Times Square where we await for the New Year,"the anchorman said, "And stay tuned with us for the countdown. Now over to Scooter Alvarez with end year Super Bowl results."

"Hey guys,"Marlene said as she entered and shut the side door wearing a mask, "Got any snacks you could help me? "

"Here you go, "Private said as he handed him drinks and snacks.

"Thanks,"the otter said as she left.

"Anyway we need to get packing! COMMENCE OPERATION:NEW YEAR'S COUNTDOWN! GO! GO! GO! " Skipper commanded.

Shortly...

Times Square

Rico parked the car where the humans couldn't see it and joined the others on a building rooftop.

"Time? "Skipper asked. "11:15,"Kowalski replied looking at his smart watch.

"Hello Skipper, "a too familiar German accent said.

"Hans, what do you want?"The commander asked."Oh just to watch the countdown, "the puffin replied,"But if you disagree with me being here.. I'll have to settle for a FIGHT.. A fish fight. "

Skipper rolled his eyes and lasered the head off the fish Hans was holding, "Hey you could take out someone's eye with that! "the puffin complained.

"Let's go men. I don't have time for this."Skipper said as Rico hacked up a smoke bomb covering their exit. Hans then looked at the spot where the penguins were and then pulled out a radio, "Savio,Clemson the spot is ours."

Moments later...

Max the cat was busy getting ready to count when the elite commando squad arrived

. "Hi Mooncat,"Private greeted. "Not from the moon, "The feline corrected.

"But the name just fits, "Skipped replied.

"Now the moment you've all been waiting for,"Chuck Charles said from below as a count down timer was being displayed on a jumbo tron,"Get ready to count with us New York."

"29!"All the citizens and the penguins(Mooncat Included) counted.
