Skipper had followed the trail of footprints for a while now,he had no idea how long he had followed them,but he wasn´t about to give up.

Soon he saw a small cave,which was good,a blizzard was coming and he needed shelter,
it also seemed that the footprints lead to the cave as well.

Skipper entered the cave,it was so dark that he could barely see his own beak.

"Hello?I know your here.."
Silence.

Skipper walked deeper into the cave,but before he knew it
he was on the ground with someone standing in front of him.

"Jeg advarer dig!Gå væk.."

Skipper stared at the strange bird,he was black and white like him,
but he had colorfull beak,he had lavender markin on his face,orange Circles around his eyes,
which were golden.

Skipper and the strange bird just stared at each other,neither moved or said anything.

It seemed like forever when the stranger talked again,this time in english.

"Who are you?And what are you doing here?"

Skipper glared at the bird.

"That is classified,who are you,and what exactly are you?"

The stranger glared back.

"Thats classified as well,and i´m a puffin."

"Okay,this is getting us no where,why won´t you just tell me your name?"

"..Tell you what,we say our names at the same time,that okay?"

Skipper nodded.

"On three,one..two..three!"

"Hans."

"Skipper."

Hans looked confused.

"Skipper?Really?"

Skipper just glared at him

"Yes,that my name,got a problem with it?"

Hans shook his head.

"Good,now why are you here?"

Hans sighed and sat down on the ice floor.

"I sneaked into the plane before it left Denmark,i just wanted to get a little adventure,
but when we were flying over this place,i accidentally pressed a button which opened
the the tailgate...and i flew out and landed here.."

Hans sobbed softly.

"I should have listened to papa.."

Skipper stared at Hans,he pitied the puffin,
just now Skipper saw that he and Hans had something in common,
thirst for adventure.

After all,both had done against their parents...

..Hoover Dam!

His parents were going to kill him.

Skipper stopped cursing himself when he heard the puffin sob again.
He looked at the older bird and saw him crying.

"Hey,theres no need to cry,man up puffin."
For reason unknow to even Skipper himself,he hugged the crying bird.

Thankfully it helped.

"Thank you Skipper...no one´s hugged me before,except papa,
it was kinda nice."

Skipper smiled.

"Come on,we have to get back to the adults before the blizzards starts."

Hans nodded and stood up.

The two birds headed back towards the way they had come.

(Meanwhile)

Johnson and Manfredi had just delivered the boxes to the HQ
and were on their way home.

"Johnson,calm down,i´m sure their fine."

Johnson had been feelíng uneasy the whole day,
his gut woudln´t leave him alone,something
was wrong and he had a feeling it had something to do with their son.

"I just want to be sure that our baby is okay,is that bad?"

Manfredi shook his head.

"No,but i have a feeling that you just don´t trust my uncel.."

Johnson ignored this statment and just moved even faster towards their home.

As they entered they were greeted with a sight neither had expected.

Clean,silent house.

No,it was too clean and too silent for their taste.

Johnson rushed to Skippers room,finding no one,he started to panick.
Meanwhile Manfredi had entered the living room,there on the ground slept Buck,who was sucking on his flipper.

"Buck!Wake up!"

Buck quickly jumped to his feet,looking around.

"Wha?Oh your back."

"Manfredi!"

They both turned around to see Johnson leaning against a wall,
he looked as if he was ready to cry.

"Skipper´s gone!"

Manfredi and Buck were shocked.

"What do you mean gone?!He has to be here somewhere!"

Johnson shook his head.

"I checked every room!He isn´t here!"

Manfredi quickly walked to his mate,hugging him tightly.
He also wanted to cry,but knew that now wasn´t the time.

"We need to find him,the blizzard is coming..but where could he be?"

"I think i know."

The three penguins turned around to see the captain,and the penguin who
had brought them more boxes earlier.

"It seems that your son managed to get into one of the boxes that i brought you."

Manfredi and Johnson looked relieved.

"We have to find him!Who knows what trouble he gets himself into."

The captain nodded.

"I am sure he is fine,and from what i have heard it seems that he has a little help."

The other birds looked at the captain,

"What ever do you mean captain?"

He chuckled softly.

"My old friend from Denmark connected me again,
it seems that his son sneaked into the plane and landed here,
i have a feeling that he and Skipper collided."

Manfredi didn´t trust the Danes,
but right now he had no choice but hope that Skipper was allright.

(Back with Skipper and Hans)

It was getting dark and Skipper could feel the storm getting closer,
they had to find shelter.

"Hans we need shelter,try to find another cave or anythign that might work."

Hans nodded happily.

They soon found a small cave which was just big enought for them.

"So..what now palsey walsey?"

"We wait."

Soon the blizzard started,even thougth it was much warmer in the cave,the two chicks
were still cold.

Both the penguin and puffin were shaking from the cold,
they didn´t even notice that they were now cuddling,trying to get as warm as possible.

Skipper soon fell asleep,Hans couldn´t help but stare at his new friend,
something about the penguin was just so..attractive to him.

He noticed that Skipper was shivering again,
he hugged the penguin tightly,trying to warm him up.
When he felt Skipper stop shivering he smiled.

Soon both birds were sleeping safely on eachothers flippers.
