I'm not sure on how many more episodes I should write. Should I finish at episode 15 and call it a day? 20?

Description: When a penguin follows Cartman to school, it's up to him and Heidi to give it back.

One morning at school...

"Okay children, I am taking roll call. Kyle?" Garrison said.

"Here!"

"Clyde?"

"Here!"

"Stan?"

"Here!"

"Cartman? Cartman."

Shuffling can be heard in the hallway. Cartman ran into the classroom.

"Sorry I'm late." Cartman said.

"..."

"What? What's everyone staring at?"

"What's that thing behind you?" Garrison said.

Cartman looked behind him. A penguin his size stood behind them.

"Gah! I know nothing of him! Shoo! Shoo!" Cartman said.

Cartman tried to escort the penguin out, when he came back in, the penguin was still there.

"Argh!"

Cartman did it again and agin. The penguin wouldn't leave Cartman.

"Cartman, I think the penguin's attached to you." Stan said.

"Yeah, I did feed this pigeon some food yesterday."

"A pigeon?" Wendy said.

"Maybe it's a pelican." Cartman added.

After school...

(Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!)

"Gah! Cut it out!" Cartman said.

Heidi could only chuckle at that.

"I think it's hungry." She said.

"What does it eat?" Cartman said.

"Fish."

"Does it look like I have fish on me?"

"No. But I have fish sticks at home." Heidi said.

"Hurry, make them and bring it back here!" Cartman said.

Heidi ran home and made some fish sticks. She then brought them back to the penguin.

"Here, you want some fish?" She said.

The penguin looked at her and gobbled the fish sticks.

"Wow, thanks." Cartman said.

"Don't mention it." Heidi said.

"Do you think this penguin is lost or something?"

"We should check online."

Heidi took her phone out and checked online. There was a message on the director of the aquarium.

I am Mike Norris, head of the Aquarium in South Park. We have recently lost a penguin. If you find it, please bring him back!

"Let's go to the aquarium!" Heidi said.

THE AQUARIUM

The penguin sat next to Cartman on the bus ride to the aquarium. When they got there, a large bearded man was at the entrance.

"Hey! Director! You can't dismiss me! I was giving the audience a great show!" He said. "A little flames, makeup, everything they want for a good show! You shouldn't have fired me!"

The man grumbled as he walked past.

"What's with him?" Heidi asked to Cartman.

Cartman saw the penguin looking away from them.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Cartman asked the penguin.

The penguin could only look away in fear.

"He's shaking...Maybe he's afraid of the big guy." Heidi said.

(Squeak, Squeak)

"Let's get him inside, quick."

Heidi went up to the door, but it was locked.

"Huh? It's locked. Loos like they're closed for today."

"You mean we have to come back here tomorrow?" Cartman said. "I don't want to sleep with this penguin!"

Heidi giggled.

"Don't worry, I will keep you company." She said.

Heidi asked her parents if she could sleep over at Eric's house. They said yes. Heidi curled up in a sleeping bag in Cartman's room. Cartman laid in his bed too. The penguin curled up next to Cartman.

"Hey!" Cartman said.

Heidi laughed at that.

"Maybe he could be your brother." She chuckled.

"GRRR..."

That night...

The penguin was sound asleep. But Cartman and Heidi were wide awake.

"Hey, Heidi." He whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Do you think that guy we met at the aquarium might have abused the penguin?" Cartman asked.

"He was afraid of him when we saw him. And he hid behind us." Heidi added. "Now let's get back to sleep."

Heidi dozed off. The penguin placed his arm over Cartman. Cartman could only try to fall asleep.

The next morning...

(Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!)

Cartman woke up with the penguin.

"Ugh." He groaned.

He got out of his bed, got dressed, brushed his teeth, and ate breakfast. Heidi had already left him a text saying that she was already at the bus stop waiting for him. Cartman ran out the door with the penguin following him.

THE AQUARIUM

Heidi and Cartman walked inside the entrance with the penguin.

(Squawk!)

The penguin ran up to the director, Mike Norris.

"Perry! There you are!" He said.

Heidi and Cartman went up to Mike.

"We found him at the bus stop." Cartman said.

"Wait-" Heidi said.

"Great! You two get free passes for today for finding the penguin." Mike interrupted. "Enjoy the aquarium!"

Mike left with Perry. Heidi and Cartman looked around the aquarium. There they met two faces.

"It's Peter and Newton!" Heidi said.

The two ran up to greet them.

"What are you guys doing here?" Peter asked.

"We got a free pass!" Cartman said.

"I heard this place has a new jellyfish tank." Newton said. "It's super cool! One sting and you're done for."

"Why would you guys want to see it if it's dangerous?" Heidi said.

"Because I heard it can kill you in 2 minutes." Peter said.

The four went up to the jellyfish tanks. It was puffing every so quietly. There was the common kind of Jellyfish you can see in the movie Finding Nemo, a extremely small one that can only be found in the deep, and of course the Chironex fleckeri, also known as the sea wasp, one of the most dangerous jellyfish in the world. They then looked at the dolphins, penguins, alligators, sharks, sea turtles, clownfish, angelfish, blue tangs, seahorses, squids, crabs, lobsters, clams, mollusks, and octopuses. When they got to the seal...

"This is called a seal!" A father said to his son.

The "seal" was not happy. He angrily pointed at the sign.

SEA LION

(NOT SEAL)

"Ooh, a seal with an attitude." The father huffed.

The father left with his son.

"Wow, there's everything you can find in the ocean in this aquarium." Heidi said.

"Attention all visitors, we will begin the dolphin and seal show shortly. We hope to see you there!" The announcer said over the intercom.

"Let's go!" Cartman said.

"Welcome to the Dolphin and Seal show!" The caretaker announced to the crowd.

Everyone applauded.

"Let's start by bringing everyone's favorite elephant seal, Fanny!"

Fanny the Elephant seal was bouncing a beach ball.

(aur! aur! aur! aur!)

"At 12 feet tall and weighing more than 4,000 pounds, Fanny loves to play with her ball!" The caretaker said.

"I wonder if she likes to play with her food too." Heidi said.

"Next, we have Zipper the dolphin!"

The dolphin swam quickly around the tank.

"He is joined by his twin sister, Flippy!"

Another dolphin swam with Zipper. This dolphin has spots on her belly, so that you can tell both Zipper and Flippy apart.

"Hey dad!" The son said. "This show sure is different from last time."

The camera changed to the same father who showed his son the "seal."

"Sure is son. Come to think of it, the trainer is different too. The last guy tried to make the elephant seal look like a clown and make him juggle balls, the dolphin has to jump through a flaming hoop, and the penguins have to tap dance like in Happy Feet. I wonder what happened to him."

"..and that concludes our show!" The caretaker said.

"Man, that was awesome!" Newton said.

"I think we should call it a day." Cartman said.

The four were just leaving. Cartman, Peter, and Newton all walked outside. Heidi saw a strange man looking at the turtle tank.

"That wasn't real entertainment. I'll show them real entertainment!" He laughed.

Newton walked back in.

"Heidi, we're waiting for you!" He said. "What's up?"

"...It's nothing." Heidi replied.

Heidi left with Newton.

The four waited at the bus.

"EEK!"

"What was that?" Cartman said.

The four ran back inside. Piranhas were jumping in the fountain.

"P-P-Piranhas!" The woman screamed.

"EEEK!" Another voice said.

Alligators were at every corner glaring at them.

"Alligators!" The boy screamed.

"Oh no, someone must've unlocked all of the cages. The animals have escaped!" An employee said.

"This is bad, real bad!" Newton whimpered.

"The penguin...is he alright?" Cartman said.

Cartman ran off to check on Perry. Heidi, Peter, and Newton ran after him.

"Ah! An alligator!" A woman said.

When the three got into the aquarium, Cartman was nowhere in sight, however it was chaos. Penguins were everywhere. Turtles were still as stone on the floor, and all of the tanks were empty. The three continued and found Cartman swinging a broomstick at an alligator.

"Cartman, what are you doing?" Heidi said.

"Who's going to protect these penguins?" Cartman replied.

"What do we do?" Newton said.

"Hey, isn't that the aquarium director?" Peter said, pointing to the next cage over.

The three ran up to the director, who was trapped by another alligator.

"What happened, director?" Heidi asked.

"The locks on the cage. They unlocked themselves! The main computer for the locks in the backstage of the aquarium show."

"But how are we going to round up the animals?" Newton said.

"The fish and sea creatures here are trained to return to their cages and tanks when they hear the word "FEEDING TIME" at high volume." The Director said. "The computer backstage can also do broadcast the message."

"Okay, got that!" Peter said.

The three ran to employees only area. It led them on stage to where the show is.

"Look, there's sharks swimming in the tank!" Newton said.

Three small great whites were swimming in the tank. The main control room was up ahead. But there was an obstacle...

"The seal's blocking the door!" Peter said.

"Can we go around?" Heidi said.

"It's too narrow!" Newton said.

"Wait, remember the show... Fanny the seal loves to play with her ball!" Peter said.

"I see it!" Newton said.

The ball that Fanny played with is at the bottom of the tank.

"Just great! How are we going to get down there without getting attacked by the sharks?" Peter said.

"See if there's anything we can find!" Newton said.

The three looked around. Then they saw it in the supply room.

"I found a diving cage and scuba gear!" Heidi said.

"But it's too small for me and Newton to fit into that cage." Peter said.

"I've got this." Heidi said.

While Heidi geared up, Peter also grabbed a strong rope to lower and raise the cage gently. He tied a knot to the top of the cage. Since the cage can only be opened at the side, Heidi would be able to reach for the ball without ever having to swim out. Newton and Peter will lower Heidi down into the water and raise her out of the water when she got the ball. Heidi got inside the cage, and the two lifted the cage off the ground and into the water. Heidi put on her regulator and gave a thumbs-up. The two lowered her into the water. The sharks saw her and started butting the cage. Heidi could only prevent herself from screaming. She watched the sharks with buldging eyes and almost losing her breather.

"Oh crap, how are we going to keep the sharks busy without them attacking Heidi?" Peter said.

"Look!" Newton said.

Newton saw a bucket of fish meant for the seals.

"I've got an idea." He said.

Newton threw a fish in the water. The sharks got distracted and went for the fish. This allowed Heidi to open her cage and get the ball.

"She got it, pull her up!" Peter said.

Newton ran to help Peter pull Heidi up.

(aur! aur! aur! aur!)

The elephant seal went up to them and knocked the two in the water.

"What did you do that for?" Newton said to Fanny.

"The better question is, who is responsible for this?"

The voice revealed itself. The same guy who was fired yesterday and the same guy who Heidi encountered at the entrance.

"I am Blackbeard. Trainer of the sea critters!"

"Your beard isn't even black." Peter said. "And you suck at pirate talk."

"I don't talk like a pirate!" Blackbeard said. "Have fun with the fishes!"

"I will kill you and your seal companion!" Newton threatened.

The elephant seal only looked at him with fear.

"Newton, I don't think that seal is working for Blackbeard."

Blackbeard laughed as he left for the control room.

"Gah!" Newton screamed.

The three sharks circled around Newton.

"Newton!" Peter panicked.

Then Heidi got out of her cage and poked the sharks in the eyes. The sharks swam away.

"Whew, thanks Heidi." Newton breathed as Heidi surfaced.

"Let's go!" Peter said.

The three got out of the water and continued to the main control room. Peter got on the computer and played the "FEEDING TIME" to the whole aquarium. The sea creatures returned to their tanks. Peter then locked them.

"Alright! The aquarium's back to normal!" Newton cheered.

"Now let's check on Cartman." Heidi said.

The three went back to the penguins to check on Cartman.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Blackbeard was holding Cartman hostage!

"Let him go!" Heidi demanded.

"Heidi...I'm sorry..." Cartman said.

"I wouldn't want to get any closer if I were you kids!" Blackbeard threatened.

"U-Urk!" Cartman grunted.

"Release the animals, NOW!" Blackbeard demanded.

"Forget it!" Peter stated.

Blackbeard started twisting Cartman's neck.

"N-No!" Heidi said.

"Hmm?"

"Take me instead! I led the plan, don't harm them!" Heidi begged.

"I see what your planning here, girl. It's all a setup. The boy with you is obviously the mastermind behind all of this."

"Heidi...H-Help..." Cartman wheezed.

"...huh?" Newton said.

A ball rolled in front of them. Then it spanned over on who rolled it. Fanny, Perry, and another penguin glared at Blackbeard.

"What's this?" Blackbeard said.

(aur! aur! aur!)

The seal charged for Blackbeard. It squished him with its weight.

"Look! Perry saved us!" Peter said.

"Y-You came back for us?" Heidi asked the penguin.

(Squawk! Squawk!)

"Thank you." Heidi said.

Heidi embraced the penguin.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Blackbeard said as he was being escorted by the police.

The four dried off with towels. The director returned with Perry.

"I want to thank you four for saving the aquarium. As a reward, I'm giving you all free passes whenever you like. Just show this platinum card at the entrance and you'll have fun under the waves!" The director said.

(Squawk! Squawk!)

"Now, time to go back to your cage, Perry."

Perry followed the director back to his cage.

"Man, that day was wild." Cartman said.

"Not as wild as diving with the sharks!" Heidi added.

THE END.
