Skipper was proud of his boys today. Not only had they broken their swimming record, but they had also improved greatly on their fighting abilities.

"Alrighty boys, I think you all know what you deserve today..." The team chanted as Skipper smiled at them, proudly, "Say it! Say it! Say it!" Skipper paused to let their excitement escalate and then, "Snow cones!"

They cheered and high-fived, happy to finally taste sweet snow cones. "Come on, boys. Let's-" Skipper was cut off, after hearing a muffled scream. He looked into the water and caught a slight glimpse of white and black.

He gasped and, without hesitation, dived in after it. The water bubbled around him as he got closer and closer to the drowning animal. Obviously, they didn't know how to swim very well, and fainted after struggling to swim.

Carefully and quickly, Skipper wrapped his flippers around the animal and brung it to the surface. As he layed it on the platform, the other penguins circled around. "Hey, hey! Give it some room!" They backed off as Skipper yelled.

As he began to look closer at this animal, he noticed she was female, then he turned her over. Skipper jumped back, suddenly. This animal looked exactly like Marlene. She was gorgeous, had a curvaceous body, and had a beautiful face. The only thing was...She was a penguin.

"Boys...Why don't you go ahead and help yourselves to some snow cones...I'm going to stay here and see if I can find out who this is..." The penguins just stared at Skipper and the new penguin, confused, but took off for snow cones anyway.

Skipper sat back down beside her. "I wonder who you are..." As he said this, the girl's eyes began to slightly flutter. He leaned in closer, to see if her eyes were the same as Marlene's. Apparently, she was all he could think about.

Ever so slowly, her eyes opened. Revealing the lovely hazel eyes Skipper had recently dreamed about.

She blushed softly at how close he was to her.

Skipper stood up, and lent a flipper to help her up. "The name's Skipper. Proud leader of the zoo's elite force team. Here...let me help you up." She was puzzled at how much he had said about himself. Usually, he would say classified to everything.

Eagerly, she took his flipper with her own. She didn't notice that it was a flipper, or she probably would've freaked out.

As this new girl scrambled to her feet, Skipper asked, "So, miss...What's your name?" She tried to speak, but could only mouth the words, "Marlene", and began to cough slightly.. Skipper was confused.

"Oh, you must be thirsty after almost drowning. You stay here, and I'll be right back." Marlene watched silently,as Skipper ran off to get some water for her. "So, this is what it's like when Skipper's mesmerized by a girl." Marlene thought happily.

Never had Skipper been so nice, except for..well...OK, he was nice all the time. But, still! He told her his name without even asking if she was a spy! That was definitely different. "Aw, well...While I'm up here, I might as well, practice walking."


[Skipper inside the H.Q.]

Hastily, Skipper fetched a glass from the fridge and water, as well. No wonder she couldn't say anything! I mean, after drowning wouldn't you want a glass of water? No? Aw well...He thought she did.

Maybe this could help him to come off as nice and helpful. After he put the water back in the fridge, he ran over to the wall and pushed a button; well hidden by a picture of the team. Quickly, the wall flipped over to reveal a mirror.

Skipper looked over himself. Checking every detail, making sure none of his feathers stuck out. He just had to impress this girl. She's so beautiful, and reminds him every bit of the otter next door.


[Marlene on the platform]

Wow, it only took her two minutes to get the walking thing down. Sure it was a little different without her long tail, but she had a little tail that would somewhat help with balance. She missed her tail...And her color...But if Skipper could fall in love with her...then it was all worth it.

Something inside of her, told her this was wrong. But that part of her was shut up, when she heard Skipper opening the hatch, saying, "OK, one glass of water coming right...uh..." Skipper let his eyes roam over her body as the sun glistened perfectly in her eyes.

His face fell to a dreamy look as her curves came out even more defined, and her feathers shined nicely. Marlene looked at Skipper, surprised by this reaction to her. She smiled promisingly, realizing he must be smitten with her, or at least, her body.

In that flash of a moment when he looked at her and their eyes locked, Skipper could've sworn he saw Marlene, and heard her saying, "Hey Skipper...". It was such a glorious moment, but no guts no glory.

Skipper snapped himself out of his daze and stood up. Trying his best to look handsome, he walked over to Marlene, who really didn't think he needed to try.

Marlene silently thanked him as he gave her the water and drank. A rosy blush grew on her face as Skipper rested his arm around her shoulders and brung her closer, like he always did.

As the team came back with snow cones, they saw that the penguin had woken up. They also saw that Skipper was flirting with her like he always did to Marlene. They chuckled, watching him. What a ladies man.
