(Private's POV)
Antartica
Hunter and I were behind pursued thru the tunnel by two hungry seals. I swim in front of hunter and sign to her to use me to knock a block of ice into the seals. She nodded and then grabbed me in her mouth. She shook me around for a bit and threw me to a piece of loose ice on the ceiling. The ice block knocked one of the seal out but the other seal contiuned to pursue. The seal charged at us causing us to retreat. The seal caught up with me and started to snap at me.
In a bid to escape I grabbed onto hunters tail. Hunter face lit up as she got an idea and she surged ahead. We rocketed out of the tunnel and made it to dry land. The seal followed us only to get stuck in the hole. "Now I just feel fat," the seal said. we landed and slid to a stop. "Did you see how brilliant we were down there? With that flashy throwing maneuver?" "I know! That's like our thing now," hunter replied, "we totally have a thing." She gasped and we both turned to see her village. "We're here! Private, you did it! You got me home!" "No, you did it," I said.
"You proved you wouldn't eat me!" I said. "I know! Yay me!" Hunter hugged me, "all right, off you go then, you savage penguin devourer!" "right," she said, "grrr…" "Grrr…" I replied. "rawr!" "rawr!" "roaaaar!" a yellow liquid spilled on the ground. "You made me spill my lemonade." "sorry. Anyway, thanks. Bye," she said as she slid into the water, "I'll always remember you." "You too," I said, "You take care. Don't eat anyone I wouldn't eat." "she's a good kid," I said as I bumped into an leopard seal. "food," he said.
(Skipper's POV)
The Submarine
"Well," Kowalski said, "the good news is the seals have left us for dead. I should mention this is also the bad news." "great," Elsa said. "Options," I said. "With our streamline penguin bodies," Kowalski said as the water level contiuned to rise, "and outstanding lung capacity, we should be able to swim to the surface…But how long can julien hold his breath?" "Hold It in what?" Julian asked.
Kowalski quickly did some caculations, "I see. Carry the…Ah! It's impossible! He'd have to be albe to swim at 45 knots, roughly speed of a fired torpedo." "really?" I said. "Your not thinking what I think you thinking," elsa said. "Unfortantly yes," I said, "Deploy handsome vampire!" julian was fired out of the sub and flew at 45 knots to the surface. We opened the bottom hatch and swam up after him.
(Private's POV)
seal village
The seal carried me in it's mouth to the village, "Let me go, you big bully!" I was dropped in front of the leader who quickly sniffed me. "One. We go one penguin," he said, "What was everybody else doing with the afternoon?" "I was watching cable," one of the seal said lookingdown at a cable, "I love cable!" "you," he said, "do the math…What's one penguin work out to on a per-seal basis?" "uh…food?" so the leader is smarter then the rest of them apparently. "Good work," he replied literally rolling his eyes. "Ok, food," He said. "Me?" "Hop in the jaws. I gotta divvy up the goods with my teeth." He then lefted his flippers, "These things are uselss wih a knife and fork." "Look at 'em," he said as he waved his armed around.
"Hey, move it!" Hunter said, "Daddy!" "that's your father?" I said. "Fuzzy face," her dad said, "Where have you been hiding?" You mean YOU didn't notice? "I was captured by pirates and dragged to New York City!" "Wow. I am looking like a very mediocre parent right now." "And this penguin is the one who rescued me." "Really?" he said, "food save my kid?" He picked me up and said, "Prepare the celebratory feast. Let's hear it for food!" "FOOD!" everyone shouted. "Ahhh!" I shouted.
Instead of eating me they gave me a seat at the feast. "what? Well this was unexpected," I said. "Oh, yeah," Hunter said, "I totally thought they were gonna eat you." "what?" her father said, "after Food rescured my little girl? What am I, a monster?" I don't know…are you? "Proclamation: Food here is off-limits, and I mean to everybody!" he looked over at the other seal pup, "Looking at you right now, Reginald!" The seal made a sad disappointed face. "I can't believe how well this turned out," I said, "I got a new friend. We took a fantastic trip. And nobody's going to eat me!"
The "chef" seal dropped down a plate with a dome on it. He lefted the dome revealing Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, And Elsa hanging upside down. "I blame you," Skipper said. "Gah!" "dad! These are Private's friends!" "they rescued you too?" He said. Elsa faceplamed. "Technically, they were against it," Hunter said. Skipper glared at her. "Soup's on!" her father said. "food!" "Wait!" I shouted. "No!" I said. "What is this, a joke?" hunter's dad said, "Because if it's the one about making penguin intestine balloon animals, I've heard it and it's hilarious."
Julian stupidly started laughing, "Balloon animals, you say? So… is this a potluck? 'Cause I brought some ice." You do know we're surrounded by ice. "Why are we eating any of these penguins!" "Cookie-burger, we're leopard seals," he said, "Fish gotta swim, penguins gotta be eaten. It is what it is." "That's what I've been saying," Skipper said until he realized what that meant, "Yes, I understand the implications. I just like to be right." "But you not right Skipper!"
Elsa, Kowalski, Rico, and Skipper give me their "are you nuts" look. "You all thought hunter would eat me, but look," I said. "still in one piece." "We're living proof," I said, "that seals and penguins don't have to be predator and prey. We can even be friends." "Check it out," Hunter said, "we even have our own thing!" She opened her mouth, "hop in friend." I hopped into her mouth and see shock me around. She then threw me in the air. I landed in front of her and we said, "ta-dah!"
Everyone just stared at us. "What?" Hunter said."Good technique, honey bear," hunter's dad said. "Uh…What?" Hunter said. "Your 'friend thing" is decidedly unfriendly," Kowalski said, "Thrashing a penguin from side to side is how leopard seals tenderize the meat before, well…you remember the hand puppet." Rico shuddered. "What?! No, I wasn't…!" "I'm afraid all you've proven is that you are a born carnivore!" "You make that sound like a bad thing," he said, "come on, smart guy, admit you're delicious." "I don't know…are you about to get eaten?" Elsa said. "Oh…good point," he said.
"I…" hunter said, "I'm sorry, private." Hunter then left the feast in shame. "we'll save you a wing, pumpkin!" "Did you want any, or would that just be weird?" he said. "Wait… May I ask you what sort of penguin recipe you're using?" "eat," the chef said. "All right, yes," I said, "That one's a classic. But, you know what's even more yummy? The taste of penguin meat after a good long marinating."
Meanwhile
(Hunter's POV)
I guess that one penguin is right…I guess all the other penguins are right…I am destined to become a penguin devourering predator like the rest of my speices. Their's nothing I can do it's genetics. My self-doubt was interrupted when I came across that lemur from earlier. He had carved another lemur, "There' no touching the feet!" he then kicked the other lemer. He then laughed, "but seriously, I miss him." "Oh," I said, "I thought everybody was at the feast." "yeah, the penguins sounded tasty, but the side dishes were just…Meh!"
"Maybe I'll just go somewhere else," I said…before I eat you…WHERE THE HECK DID THAT COME FROM? "Uh?" Julian I think it was said, "You are confused and upset. You should talk to me. I am excellent at telling people what to do." "I don't want to be a penguin-eating preadator," I said. "So don't be. There. Fixed." "right. I wish it was that easy," I said. "OF course it is," He said, "You ridiculously sausage-shaped animal, you know what did today." "I nailed the play-acting of a handsome vampire…Bah! Did a crazy-awesome barrel roll! And I totally kicked a snow-mort halfway to Anti-Antarcica!" "what does that have to do with anything?" I said.
"You think anybody else wanted me to do those things?" he said. because the penguins think your annoying? "go ahead, answer," he said. "No," I said. "who cares," he said, "Who else can be telling you what you have to do. Or to be or to nod do or be? Nobody." "So you're saying it doesn't matter what everybody thinks I'm supposed to be, I mean, who says I have to be like everyone else? Right?" "No," he replied as he finishes another lemur, "I am saying it's awesome to be king." With that he sat on his ice throne, "I don't know where you got the other stuff…but okay let's go with that!" That means I can still rescue Private and his friends without worry about eating them. "come on!" I said as I grabbed him.
(Skipper's POV)
"Marinating? You picked marinating?!" I said. Elsa, Rico, Kowalski, and I shivered in our iceblocks. "Well, I had to do something to buy time for a jailbreak." "Well, Mission half-accomplished." "so, what's the escape plan?" elsa asked since I was shaking to much to say anything else. Suddenly Julian and Hunter brust from the water, "Great Moment!" "ringtail?" I said, "wha…what are you doing here." "Hunter!" Private shouted. "Oh," Skipper said, "Out for blood, predator?" "Out to save my friend," Hunter said, "And you three, I guess. But only on principle." "So you would leave us to die otherwise," Elsa said.
Using her powerful tail she knocked the four of us out of the water. I took Skipper's iceblock and slid him away. Julian took Kowalski and slid after me. Hunter then pushed Rico and Elsa after us. I chef and several other leopard seals started sniffing the air. "food?" they said as they looked our way in time to see us leave.
"Food!" they shouted sliding after us. "they're coming!" I shouted. "Everyone surrender!" Julian shouted, "Edible ones first!" hunter pushed julian and Kowalski forward. "down the mountain, it's the quickest way to the ocean!" "yes," Kowalski said, "and technically, falling off a building…." "If I wasn't in an ice block I would hit you right now," elsa said cutting Kowalski off. "Ahh!" we shouted as we went down the mountain of ice and snow. The seals followed us down the mountain. "They're coming up too fast!" "Hang on! I'll run a diversion!" Private said. "Er…what!?" I said. of course that only succeed in drawing two seals to us.
The seals snapped at us and Private tried everything he could to avoid the jaws of death. Hunter slid in front of rico and using her tail knocked Kowalski into the approaching seals causing a pileup. "that's my girl! Go, hunter!" A leopard had caught up with Julian and Rico but was just barely unable to get them. "In your doody face!' julian said. Julian then laugh until he saw an ice ramp with a seal in front of it with his mouth open. "Ahh!" Rico hacked up a cider block knocking the seal out. Rico and Julian then went up the ramp into the air. "Up ahead!" hunter shouted, "aim for the ramp! You can launch to a safe distance!" hunter then knocked Julian, rico, and Kowalski towards the ramp…
"You're not coming?" I said. "I can't, "Hunter said, "I belong here with…" "GO, daddy!" I shouted. hunter's dad with his mouth opened slid towards us. Her dad collided with another seal and went tumbling towards his death. "dad!" Hunter shouted. I knew what private was thinking instantly, "Private, don't be a hero!" I said as Private jumped off. As I flew off the ramp I shouted, "Don't be a fool with your life!" Private slid in front of hunter's dad and using his feet tried to slow him down. He managed to slow hunter's father to a stop right at the edge of the ice cliff. As for the rest of us we landed on a iceflow…hard. We the got bounced off of the one flow and landed upright on another.
(Private's POV)
"Food, You saved me." Hunter's dad said. "Yes, well, my instincts said to run," I said, "but we can't always listen to those silly things, can we?" "Instincst. I get you." Hunter slid up, "Everybody ok?" the rest of the seal were sliding our way, "Food! Food!" Hunter and her daad looked at each other and then at me. "Go on, get him out of here!" "You trust me?" "I'll miss you," I said. "yeah," hunter said, "shut up and hop in." Hunter shook me around some and then tossed me in the direction of Skipper and the others. The other Seals finally caught up, "food!"
"dang. Slippery little tasty nuggets, aren't they?" "Love you, dad," Hunter said. "come on, I think I've got some squid in the freezer." With that the mob of seals dispersed, "And by The Freezer I mean our front porch. OH I hate Antarctica." The seal followed their leader back up the icy slope.
(Skipper's POV)
Private painfully knocked into every iceflow on the way to ours. Well it looked painful at least. "Don't just sit there," Elsa said, "do something!" Rico hacked up a pillow. Private hit the edge of the iceflow and missed the pillow landing with a painful thud. "Private, I may have misjudged that she-predator." "so have the rest of us," Elsa muttered glaring at Kowalski.
"and you," I added, "IF a penguin and a leopard seal can learn to get along in this crazy, mixed-up world, then maybe there's hope for all of us."
I let out a scream of pain when Julian started to chew on my foot. With my flippers on my hips I glared at him. "have you lost you mind, Julian," Elsa said, "…wait don't answer that…he already lost his mind." "GAH!" I shouted as Julian moved his chops. "What? I was curious!" "All if us, minus one." "Um…how are we going to get home?" Private asked. "Kowalski what's our trajectory?" I said. "There is only one thing for it," Kowalski said. "ROADTRIP!" The Five of us Plus Julian shouted. One long and unnessary song sequence later…we returned to the east river."
