Hello again! I'm glad to see that people have been enjoying my story. Now let's see how the penguins can handle a kidnapping case!
Athena nearly fainted. Her friends were gone, kidnapped.
"Let me see." Private said looking out of the telescope and saw Maddie, Lilly, and Nellie weeping over the water. "Well what are you waiting for? We've got to go help them!" Private said facing the others.
"Private's right, let's go." Skipper said before they headed to the duck habitat.
At the duck habitat. . . . . .
When the eight got there, they saw the girls crying. "Maddie!" Private exclaimed before running over to her.
The mother duck looked up. "Oh Private! They're gone!" she yelled as Private gave her a hug. The others comforted the ducks until they were done crying.
Skipper patted the little ducklings backs as they cried over there brother's disappearance. He got an angry look on his face. "No one kidnaps in my zoo! Come on men, I know exactly who to look for."
The team nodded.
Kowalski looked down at the kids. "You stay here" he ordered.
They nodded and waved as their dads left the scene sliding on their bellies.
Elli went over to Nellie and hugged her. "Our dads will find them. I promise."
Nellie smiled at Elli. "Thanks Elli, you're a great friend."
Elli smiled. "Do you want to have a tea party or color? I got some new crayons and I'll let you use the sparkly colors first."
Nellie sniffed. "Sure" then the two friends headed towards Buttons.
"Hey Buttons, can I have my crayons please." Elli said.
Buttons nodded and hacked up a box of crayons. "Marshal want tells you something." Buttons grunted as he handed her the saliva covered box.
Nellie looked at Elli confused.
"Marshal wants to tell me something." Elli translated. "It's probably about Father's Day."
"Father's day" Nellie grumbled. "What a stupid holiday."
Dolphin habitat. . . . . . . . .
What could Doris do? Dale and Ariel had to meet sometime, so she put on her best fake smile and let the two meet face to face.
"Who's this little cutie?" Dale asked in a friendly tone to Arilel.
Ariel erupted with playful giggles. "Ariel"
After a few moments, Doris couldn't take it anymore and decided to swim to the other side of the habitat to think of a way to save Ariel and herself. She swam back and forth and back and forth. She looked up to the sky. "Come on mom, I need a sign."
As soon as she said that, the penguins slid by her habitat. They must've been in a hurt, because usually Kowalski would stop and say hi or something.
"The penguins? That's my sign?" she asked out loud. She sighed. "Oh Kowalski, if only my life wasn't as complicated as it is." Then it hit her. "That's it! Kowalski's so smart, he'd think of something."
She heard Dale and Ariel giggle and laugh behind her.
"But how can I talk to him without Dale noticing?" she asked herself.
Otter habitat. . . . . . .
"Weeee!" Peanut yelled as he zoomed down the slide on their cave and into Marlene's arms.
"I got'cha" Marlene said to the pup in her arms.
"I think I can make it on my own next time mom." Peanut said with a laugh before he climbed to the top of the cave to slide down again.
When he got there he looked around the zoo. He saw Maurisa, Maurice, and Mort catering to Prince J.J and King Julien. Peanut rolled his eyes. He saw the chimps playing checkers, and he noticed something strange going on in the duck habitat. Two of the ducklings were not there and Marshal and the other young penguins were there.
"Huh?" Peanut said confused squinting his light blue eyes to get a better look. He was so busy looking over there; he didn't notice a small puddle near the start of the slide and slipped. "Ahhhh! Mom!" he screamed as he fell head first down the slide.
"Peanut!" Marlene exclaimed in horror as she watched him fall. She quickly swam to the bottom of the slide and caught Peanut in her wet arms.
"I guess I should've let you catch me." He said with a little smile and laugh.
"No jokes! You could've killed yourself young man!" Marlene said sternly waving her finger in front of his face. "
"Sorry mom, but I saw something going on over at Eggy's place." Peanut said getting out of Marlene's arms.
"The duck habitat?" Marlene asked. She could've sworn she saw Skipper and his team over there yesterday. "take my paw." She ordered holding out her paw to him.
Peanut nodded and took her black paw before they headed over to the duck habitat.
Lemur habitat. . . . . . . . (this takes place a few moments before Peanut drops)
"More juice Maurisa!" Prince J.J ordered holding out a empty coconut cup to her.
Maurisa rolled her eyes. "Coming J.J." she sighed.
She headed over to a big pile of fruit in the lemur habitat and began juicing one of the mango's.
"Oh, and no fruit chunks this time, just put them in your glass." The brown furred lemur prince said to his servant.
"You know what!" Maurisa yelled throwing a mango on the ground.
"Maurisa" Maurice said in a warning tone.
She took a deep breath to calm down and put on her best smile. "of course your majesty." She said in a fake friendly voice.
She was in the middle of "de-chunking" his mango juice, when she heard a loud scream. She quickly turned around in horror. "Peanut!"
Prince J.J. saw him fall too. "No, stop falling, I command you!" he yelled in horror as he watched his friend fall.
Luckily, Marlene caught him.
"Phew" both of the young lemurs said in relief. Maurisa then grabbed Prince J.J.'s paw and dragged him over to King Julien.
"Me and Prince J.J. are going to go over to Marlene's." she said to the king.
"Eh, okay, but no going over to Joey's or the gorilla's pin." He said pointing his fingers at them being dead serious.
The two nodded before heading over to see if Peanut was okay.
At the otter habitat. . . . . . .
"Ms. Marlene!" Maurisa called out with her dark furred hands circling her mouth.
"Peanut!" Prince J.J. called out.
"I guess they're not here." Maurisa said with a shrug of the shoulders after looking for them a few minutes.
"I call dibs on the slide!" Prince J.J. said running up to the top of their cave.
"Are those special shampoo's getting to you? We can't just use their slide when they're not here!" Maurisa said looking up at him.
Prince J.J. ignored her and slid down the slide entering the water below with a splash.
Maurisa slapped her head with her hand and sighed. "We're not doing this!"
Prince J.J. gave her a smile and lifted his self up on the surface showing his fur that was really dark now cause it was soaking wet from the otter's pool. "Listen, we slide down the slide one or two times, then we go look for Peanut.."
Maurisa sighed. "Fine! Only one or two times, or I'll kick your butt so hard, you won't be able to shake it on Father's day." She said holding her fist up to his face. She'd never really hit him, but he didn't know that.
The lemur prince cowered at Maurisa's fist. "Okay, that works." He whispered with a smile.
Maurisa smiled and climbed to the top of the cave. "Is that-it is! Prince J.J. I see them! I see them!" she said excitedly pointing to the duck habitat where she saw the others.
"Really?" Prince J.J. said climbing up to the top to see. "Oh I see them now!"
"Okay, now we can just head over there." Maurisa said.
"One slide?" Prince J.J asked.
"NO!" she yelled glaring at him.
"Oh, so you want to climb down." Prince J.J. said.
Maurisa blinked. He had a point. "Okay" she said giving into the temptation of her friend's slide. Maurisa stretched her arms in the air to get ready for the slide down. This really showed off her figure. She was short like Maurice, but she was curvier and had dark black fur. She was surprised how Prince J.J. and King Julien were so thin even though they got most of the food.
"Woo-hoo!" the two yelled as they slid down the slide.
At the slasher habitat. . . . . . . (This takes place during Prince J.J. and Maurisa's slide.)
Haley was taking a cat nap when she heard two accented voices cheering. She popped her head over the wall and saw the two lemurs as they slid down the slide. She shuddered as they landed in the water.
She then noticed that her two best friends, Elli and Nellie, were over at the duck habitat. "Hey mom, can I go over to Nellie's and play?"
"Sure" her mom said not opening her eyes from her nap.
Haley then headed over there. Not knowing that was a big mistake that would put her on the adventure of a life time.
At the H.Q. . . . . . .
"Don't play dumb with me Robert! I know you know where Eggy and Lucky are!" Skipper yelled as Kowalski shone a flashlight on the duck's face.
"For the millionth time, I don't know what you're talking about!" he yelled as he struggled to break free from a chair he was tied to.
"I don't know what to do anymore Skipper. There's no evidence of him taking Eggy and Lucky in the first place. We even checked the tree, but there wasn't a sign of anyone but him staying there." Kowalski said sadly.
"Blast!" Skipper said. "This is a waste of time. We need to get answers!"
"Why did you want Eggy and Lucky?" Private asked.
"Who? I don't know a Lucky and Eggy." Robert said.
Rico wanted to give Robert a good punch in the face for acting so stupid.
"We saw you yesterday." Skipper said glaring at the duck. "You were fighting with Maddie."
"Oh, I see what's going on now." Robert said. "Maddie put you up to this."
"NO!" Kowalski yelled. "You took Eggy and Lucky!"
"You want to know what I was doing yesterday. I was sitting on the peer." Robert said.
This got Skipper's attention. "A peer?"
"Yes, I was sitting there one moment, and then this dolphin comes up to me and waved this watch up to my face. Next thing I remember, I'm sitting on a tree where you pummel me to the ground and take me here." Robert explained.
Skipper's eyes widened. "Operation Distraction" he whispered.
"What was that Skippa?" Private asked.
"I-I guess you should know now." Skipper said lowering his head.
"What Skipper?" Kowalski said turning off the flashlight off.
Skipper sighed. "Long before Private was hatched; I was a rookie on Dr. Blowhole's team."
Everyone gasped and Kowalski dropped his flashlight in shock.
"He had this operation, Operation Distraction, he would set up this crazy scheme to fool the enemy into thinking a certain person or group did something. He would hypnotize them to do something that made them look guilty." Skipper continued. "While they searched for the wrong guy, he'd steal something he wanted."
"Then that means…." Private started.
"He stole Eggy and Lucky, and he going to kidnap the others!" Kowalski finished.
"Buttons!" Rico said.
Skipper untied Robert. "Sorry for the confusion."
"Yeah whatever" Robert said as he made his way out the exit with the others. Robert however, flew away from the zoo as soon as he got outside.
At the duck habitat. . . . . .
The penguins couldn't of gotten there faster, but when they got there no one was there. It looked like a big struggle had occurred, because there was a mess of feathers and furs everywhere.
Kowalski looked down and saw something on the ground he picked it up and started to tear up. "Skipper"
Everyone looked over to Kowalski who was holding up a piece of paper that a picture of them with their kids on it. Under it was Marshal, Buttons, Athena, and Elli's signature. It was their father's day card.
Aw, how's that for a cliff hanger? Dr. Blowhole stole everyone, Maddie, Lucky, Eggy, Nellie, Lilly, Haley, Elli, Marshal, Buttons, Athena, Prince J.J., Maurisa, Peanut, and even Marlene.
Can the penguins save them alone or will they need help?
