Author's Note: Alrighty, now for chapter 4! I know you're all looking forward to this, I mean Marlene? Outside the zoo? This could get ugly...But, everything gets ugly before it gets pretty! Or you could be Marlene and start out pretty, then end up even prettier! Thanks for reading! Review please!
Skipper closed the hatch to the H.Q. Marlene watched him silently, filled with excitement about getting a snow cone. Skipper saw the excitement in her eyes, he didn't need words to tell him how she felt.
Fortunately, his many years as a leader has given him the chance to learn body language. (But who cares about that? No one? Really? OK...Moving on!). "OK, Um..Dollface..Let's get out of here and get some snow cones!" Skipper held out his flipper for her.
As Marlene took it, chills ran up her spine. The exact same thing happened to Skipper as she got closer to stared at each other for a little bit, and then headed off into the sunset.
Their shadows flew across the ground in happiness. They were so close, it looked like there was only one shadow!
Marlene was so happy, she forgot she was going outside. Outside the zoo walls, no one could survive around her. She even attacked Skipper once. "Looks like it's about to take a turn for the worst." Marlene thought to herself, terrified that she might do something to Skipper.
As the two passed through the humongous zoo gates, Marlene stopped. Skipper was pulled back by her sudden lack of motion. "What's wrong, Doll?" Marlene shrunk back away from the outside and closer to Skipper.
He was amazed by this reaction, it was almost like she was afraid of the outside world. "Are you scared? There's nothing to fear about the outside world." He said reassuringly, just like the day when she was supposed to get snow cones with the penguins.
Marlene looked up at him, locking her eyes with his. He could see the terror in her eyes. "Wow...She's afraid of the outside, just like Marlene! Stop, Skipper! You've got to stop thinking of Marlene! You're with...Uhh...Umm...Dollface now!" Marlene stared at him in confusion as Skipper continued to fight with his thoughts.
Skipper noticed this and laughed nervously, embarrassed by his actions around her. "Um...Here...Take my flipper..." Marlene was still scared, but did as she was told. "...OK...Yeah, and...I'll take every step with you, comprende'?" Marlene was even more scared by this idea.
Surprisingly, more scared than nervous. But, with Skipper at her side, Marlene was more encouraged. "There...That's it...See? Nothing to it!" Skipper beamed, looking at her. Marlene looked as well, with a big smile of her own.
As they got closer to the snow cone machine in the park, Marlene started to feel a little antsy. Something began to grow wild inside of her. She gently nudged Skipper's side. He looked at her, sensing something strange inside of her body. Taking control of her actions, but not completely.
"Oh no...You're not about to go wild, are you?- Um...Dollface? Dollface!" Skipper looked around. Marlene was nowhere to be found. "Great..Just like Marlene...Good thing Julien isn't here..." Every time Skipper thought about that day, he would always feel a twinge of jealousy in his heart.
"Ah!" Skipper yelled as he was suddenly knocked aside into the bushes. "W-who are you? Show yourselves!" Skipper looked everywhere he could see from his position. Then, something jumped on top of him.
He yelled once again before realizing that it was just Dollface. He sighed in relief, "Oh, Dollface...It's just you! I'm so glad I found you, or...You found me...Um...What are you doing?" He became uncomfortable as she leaned in closer to his face.
She looked him up and down, before licking her lips and kissing Skipper. His eyes shot wide open in surprise. He was not expecting that. Her beak left his as she layed on his stomach. He could barely move his head or his body due to such shock.
Of course, he didn't mind that she had kissed him, but it was still a little awkward. I mean, what if Marlene saw him like this. She would probably get the idea that he doesn't have any feelings for her whatsoever.
Skipper sighed angrily at himself. Once again he was stuck thinking about Marlene even though he was with a beautiful female penguin.
"Uh...Y-yo-you OK there D-Doll-f-face?" He stuttered nervously. She looked at him mischievously before doing exactly what she had done to Julien. Skipper tried to escape, but to no would just have to bring her back inside the zoo's walls.
Then she would be OK, for sure. He smiled as an idea hit him. "OK, OK, Dollface...Want to come with me? We could go somewhere a little more...romantic..." He flirted with her continuously, backing up with each wink and smile.
They were headed right for the zoo which was all apart of his plan. If he could just get her to go a couple more feet...
"Hello, silly billy penguin! Oooooo...And, very attractive lady penguin...What are you to be doing with this flightless bird?" Skipper face palmed. "Ringtail!"
Author's Note: So, yes...She did still go wild. But, this time, with Skipper...What's she going to do with Julien? Who knows...Well, other than me, but what do you guys think will happen? What do you want to happen? Tell me! Suggestions are welcome! :D
