Penguin HQ- Morning

Kowalski's POV

"Up and adam," Skipper's voice cut into my science related dream.

I scattered out of my bed. I looked around and saw Private and Rico do the same.

"Today will be a day off," Skipper said.

"Wha?" Rico asked.

"That's right, I'm giving you the day off," Skipper smiled. We all just stood around and looked surprised.

"Go!" He filed us out. We all darted out. I decided to go see Sapphire. I arrived at Marlene's and was about to walk in, when I chose to knock.

"Come in!" Marlene's voice rang. I waddled in.

Marlene was cleaning, as usual.

"Hello Marlene," I said.

"Hey Kowalski," She said.

"Where's Sapphire?" I asked looking around.

"She went out to do something, I don't know where exactly she is, but she's in the zoo, ya know, enjoying her day of no visitors," She said.

"Thanks," I smiled, waddling out to find Sapph. I waddled for about half an hour and found her with a pad of paper and a pencil on a bench.

I hopped next to her on the bench.

"Hello," I said, peering over her shoulder.

"Hey," She said slapping her pad of paper into her chest.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"None of your business," She replied.

I cocked my head at her.

"I'm drawing," She sighed.

"Can I see?" I asked.

She sighed and handed me the pad. I looked at it. It was a rose with something dripping off the thorns. There was writing on the paper.

"That's really good, but what does it say?" I said.

"Thanks, and it says 'The most beautiful flower… Untouchable'" She said.

"Cool," I nodded my head. We sat there another few minutes in silence.

"So, what are your hobbies?" She broke the silence.

I thought for a moment.

"Thinking, science, math, and inventing, yourself?"

"I like listening to music, playing the guitar, reading, writing, and drawing," She was staring into nothing.

"Intriguing," I said, pulling out my clipboard and drawing her hobbies. I may be off duty, but I know Skipper would want me to find out any information on Sapphire. I ran the pencil across the paper as quiet as I could, it didn't make a sound that I could hear.

"Stop writing that down," She still wasn't looking at me.

"How did you…?" I was astonished.

"I have an amazing sense of hearing," She replied.

"Interesting," I said writing that down.

"Stop!" She said, turning and knocking the clipboard from my flippers.

"Hey," I said.

"Get over it," She rolled her eyes and hopped off the bench.

"Where ya going?" I asked.

"Away from here," She replied.

"Why?" I called.

"Cause," She was padding away on all fours, "I don't hang around people that don't trust me!"

I stared after her, I looked back at the bench, she had left her sketchpad thing. I grabbed it and jumped off the bench and waddled back to the HQ. When I got there Skipper was drinking his fish coffee.

"Kowalski, what are you doing back here?" He asked me.

"I'm going to make an invention," I waddled into my lab.

I wasn't actually making an invention; I was looking through her writing pad. She had words, drawings, little pictures of drawings in it. I couldn't help but think about Sapphire. She was so pretty; I had to talk to someone about my little 'crush'. I waddled past Skipper quietly, and stopped in the middle of the zoo.

"Who do I talk to, Marlene or the lemurs?" I asked to no one in particular.

"Da lemurs what?" A Madagascan accent asked me.

I turned around to see King Julien, Maurice and Mort standing behind me.

"You startled me," I said.

"I am to be startling everyone with my amazing kingleiness, now what are you being talking to the lemurs about?" He asked again.

"Uh… nothing," I said.

"You are being lying," He said, I guess I'm a terrible liar.

"It's really nothing," I tried to cover for my faux pas.

"No, it's being something," He consisted.

"I lik- like can't decide what to invent," I said, I sounded like a teenage girl, but I did get out of telling them.

"Oh, this is to be boring me," He said and left me alone. I sighed and waddled over to Marlene's.

Marlene's POV

Sapphire had gone out a while ago with something in her paws. When was she coming back? I heard a noise outside my cave and then knocking.

"Come in," I called, assuming it was Sapphire.

"Uh, Marlene?" I heard Kowalski say. I turned around, surprised to see him.

"Kowalski? Did you bring Sapph with you?" I asked.

"N-no, I thought she had already come back," He said.

"Not yet, I'm sure she's fine, so what can I do for you?" I was curious as to why he had come by. Then again, he seemed to be showing up a lot since Sapph had come to the zoo.

"Well, Marlene, I need some help with something," He sounded nervous.

"Sit, and explain," I said motioning towards my table.

We both sat down, and I was prepared to hear that he needed a test subject or something. What I wasn't prepared for was what he really did say.

"Marlene, how do you um, uh, talk, to uh, g-girls?" He asked.

I was astonished. Kowalski? Asking about girls, I mean I knew he didn't know a thing about girls, but the fact that he wanted to know is something else.

"Why?" I wasn't about to tell him anything until I knew why.

"N-no reason, just uh, curious," He stuttered.

I studied him for a second.

"Tell me," I said.

"I-I'm doing an experiment, yeah! An experiment," He said confidentlyish.

"Now what's the real reason?" I asked.

"That is the real reason," He said.

"Then I'm not telling you," I smiled.

"Fine, I-I kind of like," He choked, "S-Sapph!"

My mouth dropped. Kowaslki liked Sapphire?

"You do?" I asked.

"Y-yeah, don't tell her! I just need advice on how to 'wow' her," He said, "because if you haven't noticed, I fail to comprehend emotions, and feelings and well… women."

"Trust me, I've noticed," I mumbled.

Kowalski looked at me; a bit offended.

"I'll help," I rolled my eyes.

"T-thanks," He grumbled.

"How 'bout you tell her how you feel? It worked with Phil," I pointed out.

He looked like he was contemplating that point.

"True," He said, "But she's just s-" He didn't get to finish his sentence.

"Bonjour," A voice said.

We both jerked our heads over.

"Hi!" I said.

"Hello Sapphire," Kowalski sounded nervous.

Sapphire glared at Kowalski and didn't reply.

"What's for dinna' Mars-Bar?" She asked.

"Whatever is in the fridge," I smiled.

"Thanks," She said sarcastically, walking over and grabbing some milk. She gulped it down from the carton. After she finished, she padded over to her bed and plopped down.

"I'm gonna go," Kowalski whispered to me, sliding out.

A/N I finally figured out how to make that line thing... It's a tool on the Edit thing! I didn't know that *Fail*
