1200 hours:

it was early in the am, a Monday to be exact. I was surrounded by 9 ninja warriors and only had my team and our bare flippers at my side. I explained to them our, deadly situation and we prepared to face the evil masked minions we were up against.

We jumped into our ready position and watched out of the corner of my eye as the rest of my team took them on two at a time, I myself had to face a few, and I was quick to the attack knocked them down with ease. I returned to the center of the platform to congratulate my team, till I noticed one was left, but Rico took him down in a great time, and I couldn't help but feel proud.

That's when I heard a familiar voice behind me, I knew who it was, but out of instinct I jumped around in a fighting stance. I watched our Familiar otter friend trip over the still bodies of one of the ninja's. I warned her about the ninja warriors, she simple rolled her eyes and pointed out they were bowling pins.

Has she no eyes, they had little colored in faces!

She jumped up eagerly asking us why we were working on a fun day. At first I was confused, but a military leader is never confused, I gave orders to my team but froze and decided to just ask.

How was I supposed to know fun day was a Monday with a cheesy name. Marlene gave me a cross eyed look, I found it rather adorable, but of course kept it to myself. She comes off how I'm not fun day material, well I never heard of such a thing in my life.

Some how I ended up on the dumb old bouncy with Julien trying to impress Marlene at how fun I can be. Of course I had to be a show off (A/N it's His diary, he can admit it if he wants to!) I corkscrewed my beak into the stupid thing and got stuck.

When I pulled back a burst of air blew off Ringtails crown. It landed in the sewer and I didn't think much of it, of course ringtail did. The screaming lasted for sometime, and the team and Marlene found ourselves wearing earmuffs to block it out.

2100 hours:

Marlene and I were playing a simple game of chess, and she was easier to play than Kowalski. I found myself trying to read her next move by reading her eyes. The big hazel eyes that always made me give in. Earmuffs still perched on our heads, I barely heard the back entrance open and Maurice come in.

I saw him move his mouth but couldn't understand him, I pulled off one ear to the muff to hear him, and I could faintly hear Julien still screaming. Maurice blamed me for the whole thing.

I took at least 90% responsibility and glanced at Marlene, she looked back at me with her hazel eyes, claiming she said have fun not go Nuts, of course it was implied. I however was the one who corkscrewed, Shame on me Of course.

Maurice grunted and groaned several times and headed for the door, Marlene yelled after him that it was all for fun. I couldn't tell it she was defending me, or the small part of her that had something to do with this, how ever she was persistent about it.

As soon as Maurice left we huddled up to make a plan, Marlene suggested she stayed with Julien and we go look for the crown, Which I would rather be doing than stay here with Ringtail. We broke up and my team headed for the sewer.

I gave Marlene a walky-talky and she was off. Kowalski hung a line from the top of the sewer and we started sliding down, about half way down I heard Marlene's voice saying something went wrong with the crown, than I heard a whining ringtail in the background, I told Marlene not to worry and continued forward, well actually down, than forward.

My team followed swiftly behind me as I headed down a tunnel that my instincts pointed too, Of course they always point to danger and we came across a bared up tunnel that read Danger ahead. I didn't want trouble for the others, considering this was my fault and volunteered to go alone.

Before I was even close to a few meters away, they stopped me and demanded they tag along, well not actually demanded but they reminded me of the penguin Credo 'never swim alone.'

Before I knew it a steal cage fell all around us and red eyes were glaring at us through the holes, Sewer rats started pressing forward, and I wasn't the least bit intimidated. None of us were, so I asked about the crown, however they had different plans for it, and I had to of course beat the their king to get it back.

A large muscular lab rat wearing the crown stepped forward, and I felt Private tense up beside me. I heard him mumble something about toast and couldn't resist asking. Crusty outside soft and warm outside and good with a jam, and it did make my mouth water.

I heard the rat king yell something about rat town and than Private ask if we were already there. I stepped forward ready to fight and handed the Talky to Kowalski as soon as I did, he put it to his ear to receive Marlene call for help, and than had him explain about the rat king.

Kowalski pointed out it was a mutated lab rat, He grabbed the flashlight from Private and crushed it, The others looked worried but I could handle him, I stepped forward and warmed up with a few moves we'd used this morning on the ninja warriors.

Rico was next to me ready to fight, until the king exclaimed no help from the flock, I could see how disappointed Rico was, but I didn't have time to worry right now.

I stepped forward and jumped at, him striking in several places. Yet he showed little sign of pain, I rushed at him aiming for a kick in the chest. However I miss calculated the strength of his stomach, and he soon had me in a tight hold, violently crushing me on the ground.

He hurled me towards the others like a bowling, and they scattered on contact. I couldn't think straight, and the last thing I heard was flightless bird, and boy did that suck to hear.

Next thing I laying on top of me crushing my spine, than he jumped up and threw me below Private and Kowalski I saw the worry in their eyes, and knew myself this wasn't going well. That's when Kowalski gave me the greatest idea, he'd said fun day and it popped into my mind.

I jumped up with all my strength and rushed up the wall, I heard the others aw as the figures out what I was doing. I landed on top the rat with a crushing corkscrew. He stayed on the ground and didn't move, I knew he was down for the count, I grabbed the crown and the others returned to my side.

We headed back after Kowalski and Rico treated the sore spots from being continuously crushed, and the lemur habitat came into view. Marlene was standing before Julien trying to cheer him up, yet he was still being a cry baby, this is where we came I.

I happily handed over the crown, feeling victorious. He at first was happy, greeting the crown like a child until he noticed the stain from the sewer rats. He tossed the crown aside and ordered Maurice to bring him a spare. I stood both confused and frustrated, of course not as much as Marlene.

She held out her hand and waited for Rico to spit up a heavy metal object, than rushed after Julien with the crowbar in hand as angry as I'd seen her, I couldn't help but be proud of her rash actions, she was finally learning to not be the helpless victim, and she was down right adorable when she was being tough.
