Another short Chapter but hopefully a good one. ^^

Again, I don't own 'The Penguins of Madagascar'. But I wish I did, oh the horrible naughties I'd do to that show!

The others didn't seem to notice Rico's reaction. They began approaching the new Penguin but he lingered by the fish bowl entrance. It's back was turned to them, which had three scars forming a broken triangle. Skipper stopped a few steps away from the stranger and cleared his throat. Hearing the noise the Penguin turned around.

"Oh…" Skipper deflated, he was prepared to give a manly rant until he noticed one little detail he wasn't expecting. This new Penguin was a girl! "Alice is more crafty than I thought!" He added. So Alice thought she could use a female Penguin against them, play on their manly weakness, huh? Think again!

The female tilted her head slightly, bright green eyes shifting over the three males in front of her but remained silent. Private looked to Skipper who was eyeing the girl like she was a ticking-time bomb. Then to Kowalski who was going over his notes. He looked over to Rico and wondered why he seemed shy all of a sudden. The female followed the youngest Penguins gaze and her face immediately scowled making Rico back away even more.

Private didn't catch this exchange and decided to break the silence. "'Ello miss, my names Private, whut's your name?" He smiled sweetly before receiving a smack upside the head.

"PRIVATE!" Skipper scolded. The leader straightened himself, coughed into his flipper then explained, "Mind telling us who you might be?"

Her eyes never left Rico, seeming to forget the others presence. A low growl left her beak.

Kowalski stepped forward examining the Penguin. "Do you understand English?" He asked, obviously not noticing the growl or look of hate she was giving.

Finally her attention was taken off Rico. "Yes I understand English! I'm not stupid!" She spat. "And my name's Megan!"

"Temper-temper!" Skipper said. "No need to be rude. So, Megan, why are you here?"

Said Penguin rolled her eyes. "How should I know why, I was just minding my own business when I was suddenly hit with a dart! Next thing I know I'm waking up in a cage." She let out a frustrated sigh.

Skipper nodded his head, pretending to buy the explanation. "Well, that doesn't matter now. You're living here now, welcome to New York!" He said, "Why don't we get to know each other more over dinner?" If they were going to expose this spy, then they'd have to lower her into a false sense of security.

She looked back, but Rico had already disappeared inside H.Q. "Well, I am a bit hungry." She stated as she followed the three males below.

Once inside she looked about her, taking in the scene. Rico was already busying himself by cutting up fish. Private made a beeline toward the television but Skipper grabbed him and pulled him into a huddle along with Kowalski. "Remember, play it cool. Don't mention anything about our military operations. And no science Kowalski." The leader ordered in a harsh whisper. Kowalski moaned a bit but nodded in agreement.

They broke the huddle and sat around the table waiting for dinner. Megan took a seat next to Kowalski as Rico nervously approached with a tray full of sushi. He put it down and sat opposite of her but avoided eye contact. Everyone began eating until Private noticed Megan sitting motionless. "Is something wrong Megan?"

She crossed her flippers over her chest, "I refuse to eat anything he touched!" She directed towards Rico.

"Why? What's wrong with Rico?" Private asked perplexed, turning towards said Penguin.

The crazed Penguin shrugged and laughed nervously. "Oh don't act so innocent! You know full well what you did!" Megan spat as she stood.

"Wait a minute! You two know each other?" Skipper questioned skeptically.

She glared, "Oh yes, we know each other quite well, don't we Rico." The scarred one gulped and nodded in agreement.

Skipper slapped a flipper over his face "Well, isn't that just peachy! So what do you have against him, he stand you up on a date?" He mocked.

Fury flashed over her face. "I'd never got out with this-this traitor!"

Private gasped at the accusation. "In all my years of knowing Rico he has never shown traitor-like qualities." Kowalski stated point-blank.

"You better have evidence to back up that claim missy!" Skipper pointed a flipper at her.

She smiled smugly. "The scars on both of us are evidence." pausing a moment to let the statement sink in, Megan turned to Rico. "Go on, tell them. Tell them how you left me to die!"

What's this? Another cliff hanger? YAY!
