The Sky Spirits: Chapter 6
"Checkmate" Skipper said. "What?" Kowalski argued, "My king wasn't there before!" "Neither was KING Julien but he somehow ended up in your lab a few hours ago…" Skipper joked. "That's not funny" Kowalski said smirking. Private exchanged a glance with Rico, "uh- I don know wha they're talking abou…" Rico grunted, turning away from Private. Does everyone here not like to tell me anything? Private thought. But he pushed the thought away. Kowalski said what he's going to show me something Rico and Skipper didn't know about Things were going to get better…
Kowalski found it a little hard to deal with all the jokes that were being made about him and Julien. But it wasn't that bad. Kowalski picked up the chip he had been using before. He was back to the point where he had to put the chip in. All he had to do was place the chip into the machine. Slowly and carefully putting the chip closer he didn't here julien come in. "Hello penguin!" "AH!" The chip flew up in the air, and somehow ended up landing on Julien's head. "Well, it's good to see you too!" Julien snapped. Kowalski blushed embarrassed. "I'm so sorry" Kowalski said picking up the chip from the floor. "I was focused on putting the chip in and I didn't hear you come in." Julien smiled, and waited until Kowalski had put the chip down until he replied. "Well… then I'm sorry, Kowalski. Would be pretty funny if the machine broke again wouldn't it? Can I hold it?" Kowalski couldn't say no to Julien, and gave him the machine to hold. Of course Julien had forgotten how heavy the machine had been. Julien dropped the machine. "No!" Kowalski said. The machine shattered, without the chip it still had never been fully made and it still broke. "K- Kowalski…. I… I didn't mean to…" Julien stammered. "Julien… Ju- … Julien I think … I think you should go…" Kowalski said, his emotions swirled, and choked Kowalski. It had taken so long… this had been the second time he had been so close…. "Kowalski I didn't mean to!" Julien protested, "please go…" "But-" "LEAVE!" The lemur widened his eyes. "IT WAS JUST A MISTAKE!" "No. YOU WERE A MISTAKE!" Kowalski snapped. Julien was infuriated, "Well then how about I just cancel tonight, tell the Sky Spirits that they shouldn't waste their time coming!" "No! I'm going, and I'm telling the SKY SPIRITS that I QUIT!" "What?" "You heard me, I'm DONE." Julien growled, "Well I'm not going. So YOU can go say that to them, by YOURSELF." Kowalski scowled, "Just… GET OUT!" Julien stormed out of the lab. Leaving the door open. The other penguins stared into the lab. Kowalski closed the door. He felt himself sink to the ground, and he began to cry. Little did he know, back at the lemur habitat, Julien was doing the same thing.
Kowalski slid off to the park. He hoped the feeling in his chest wouldn't hold him back from saying what needs to be said. He slowly came closer to the park. Something was a miss. There were no Sky Spirits at the park. "H- hello?" Kowalski asked aloud. "Hello Kowalski." A voice said. Kowalski turned around. Behind him was Sun, Sky, and a dark gray Sky Spirit. "This is Storm" Sun said. Pointing to the dark gray Sky Spirit. Kowalski was confused, "where's the rest of the Sky Spirits?" He asked. "They only come when they're gathering with joy." Sun growled. His eyes were dark and menacing. "Storm has reported that you have told another to come here tonight." Sky said. Her face was a mix of disappointment and sorrow. "What? No! I didn't" "Didn't what?" A voice said. The Sky Spirits and Kowalski turned around. "Private? Private what are you doing here?" Private looked at him strangely, "you told me to come!" Kowalski widened his eyes. "I believe you have been caught breaking your promise Kowalski." Sun said.
