The Luv-U-Later Discovery

Chapter 7

Private's POV

I wonder what Kowalski has planned, hm it has me positively curious. Anyway as Kowalski asked me I was going to ask Marlene if she liked skipper or that other otter, whoever he is? I didn't even know there was another otter around. After watching my favourite show all day yesterday, I went to bed early and woke early the next morning.

After eating breakfast with the guys I left not long after to head over to Marlene's. I just love our get together's, we have so much fun sometimes. As normal I brought along some fish and Marlene always went and got snacks. I soon reached her habitat and jumped over the wall and I chapped on the entrance of her cave. I always chap when it's just myself I like being polite unlike the rest of my team.

"Uh, hello Marlene are you home?" I called but I didn't get answer.

I called again but received no answer this got me a little worried, so as normal I just walked in and saw an otter standing in the middle of the cave with its back to me and their arms were folded over. "Um Marlene?" I was quite surprised to see that this wasn't Marlene this must be that other otter Kowalski told me about.

He didn't seem to pleased to see me, "and uh what are you doing here?" He asked in a spanish ascent.

"Oh, I've come to see Marlene, um where is she?" I questioned.

"I don't know penguin, I am just waiting for her."

"Oh, well then perhaps we can wait together?"

"I don't think so little birdie, I don't want to be associated with your kind now if you'd do me the honour of leaving I appreciate it." He looked at me in disgust.

Hold the phone, know one calls me a little birdie, "little birdie I'm hardly little!" I growled, I already don't like this guy.

He laughed "oh really?"

"Yes really now where is Marlene?!" I frowned at him.

"Like I said I don't know, are you going to leave or not?" He frowned.

I frowned back "no I'm waiting for Marlene!"

He growled but stopped when Marlene entered while carrying snacks on her hands, "oh hey there Private your here, you ready for some fun?" She giggled.

I briefly ignored the other otter, "you bet Marlene I've been looking forward to this all week!"

Marlene smiled but turned to the otter, "I'm sorry Antonio I forgot I was spending the day with Private you can join us if you want?"

He looked at me with a glare which sort of scared me a little but I don't think Marlene seen it, "uh no I don't think so, why do you associate yourself with these flightless birds Marlene?"

I looked towards Marlene she was frowning "well because their my friends."

"Friends? Haha friends with flightless birds now that is a good one señorita surely you must be joking?"

Marlene growled "annnd what's wrong with being friends?!"

"We mammals are better than animals, now Marlene if you accept my proposal I don't want you hanging around these birds!" Antonio said with a smirk. I gasped in shock and looked towards Marlene to see what she would say.

She growled "if that's the case then I reject your offer of being your girlfriend! You can't just make me give up my friends!"

He seemed shocked and a little angry at her answer "what you're rejecting me, hmph no rejects me señorita no one!" He then stormed out of the cave and glared at me on the way out.

Marlene sighed sadly and dropped to the ground "whoa I didn't realise what a jerk he was. Why didn't I see it?"

I sat beside her hoping to comfort her "are you okay Marlene?"

"Yeaah I guess I'll be okay, I'll just forget about him. So Private ready for that fun we were talking about?!" Marlene grinned towards me and I grinned.

"You bet!"

Me and Marlene had wonderful time for the rest of the day,when we were finished I went back to the HQ, to find Skipper pacing about and Kowalski and Rico playing a game of cards. "Uh, ello everybody I'm back!"

Skipper gasped "Private what in the hand state took you so long?!"

I then suddenly remembered that I wasn't supposed to be as long I was, "um sorry Skippah I guess I got carried away cause me and Marlene had a lot of fun."

Kowalksi slid over to us "well did you ask?"

I smiled "actually I didn't need to, you see when I got there, that Antonio was there to, and I can tell you now I don't like him one bit!" I growled, they looked at me in surprise as I continued on and told them about what he said Skipper looked almost relieved when I mentioned that he'd asked Marlene to be his girlfriend and she rejected him.

"You see Skipper I told you I'd be able to help!" Grinned Kowalski.

I frowned "hang on a minute I was the one who went over to Marlene's!"

"Uh, well me and Private then!" Replied Kowalski while shrugging towards me.

Skipper sighed "this is all very well and good but how am I suppose find out if Marlene likes me?"

"Uh, oh dear I guess I didn't ask that!" I said looking pretty guilty.

Kowalski waved his flipper, "no matter, Skipper now's your chance to ask her yourself!"

Skipper eyes went wide "what?!"

"This means she won't be going to Julien's party with that otter, you could ask her out again," Kowalski suggested.

Skipper didn't seem to sure about the idea "uh I guess I could try again,"

"You can do it Skippah!" I encouraged Kowalski and Rico joined me.

Skipper smiled "thanks boy's I guess I'll head on over there now," with that said he soon left the HQ.
