Author's Note: Well, I'm so glad you guys really love this story! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Of course, I'm not done yet. Hmm...what is Skipper going to do about that witch?...Hmm, We'll have to figure out huh? Continue reading please! Review...Please?


Without the beautiful golden tint to her eyes, Skipper could tell this wasn't Marlene. He grinned, coming up with a plan. It was a one-week plan. That's all it would take to find out everything about his...spy.

Surely, Dollface wouldn't mind. After all, she is going to be staying with them for awhile, right?

Marlene looked between Skipper and the fake 'her'. Who would do that? Who could do that? Her heart was crushed as Skipper climbed over the bars and kissed the paw of 'Marlene'.

Skipper, of course, didn't notice Dollface as she ran away, covering her eyes.

"So, Marlene...where you been?" He flirted with her as he did Kitka, but with no passion. The fake Marlene smiled, "Oh, you know...Around...I've been to the park a few times...Perhaps that's why you hadn't been seeing me lately."

Skipper smirked, but quickly turned it to a cutesy smile. "Big mistake, Spy." Skipper thought to himself. Everyone knew Marlene didn't like going outside the zoo walls. Let alone come back within the walls and know what's happened.

"Really? I was planning on taking Dollface over there for a romantic evening in the park, but maybe..." Skipper pulled her waist closer to his and dropped her low, "...You..could come along instead."

The impostor smiled, "Why Skipper...You're such a charmer...Of course I'll go." Skipper pulled her back up, "Excellente'! Let's go ahead and go...Whether it's evening or not...I don't care...As long as I'm with you...". The real Marlene sobbed on the platform of the Penguin's H.Q.

Even from where she lay, she could here their words. Words like blades that plunged deep into her heart and severed the many vessels of her soul. Eyes grew weak and weary from crying over the penguin who seemed to love her better when she was an otter.

Of course, she did have a much better body, or so she believed, when she was an otter. No wonder he found the otter more attractive than the bird.

Marlene throbbed in the confusion of it all. "I mean, it looked like he was actually starting to like me...Or maybe even..Like, like me..."


[On Skipper's Date With 'Marlene']

Skipper's POV

This was so boring. I mean, really. This spy should have brushed up on her 'Marlene' history. Anyone who was anyone, knew Marlene was a kind, caring otter who always helped out a friend in need.

She was nothing like my Marlene. Well, Marlene's not mine. Oh, great, now I'm blushing.

"So, anyway, I just loved the part in the movie where that one guy takes out a gun and just- BOOM BOOM BOOM! It was sooooooo awesome!" The fake Marlene laughed about it and slumped in her chair lazily.

Skipper mentally rolled his eyes at this kidder. Though she got the looks spot on, and the voice, well sorta, she really didn't know anything about Marlene. Like, the fact that she loves Spanish guitars, and painting, and swimming, and visiting me.

The list goes on and on, but this otter never got one right. I made sure to lead her on. Keep her thinking that I believe her.

"So, Marlene...How about we go back to your habitat? We could..Oh, I don't know...Be more...romantic..." I said to her, charmingly.

She put a flirty smile on her face and looked at me, "Well, of course, Skipper...Anything to be romantic with you." She trailed off as I put my flipper around her.

We walked, pretty much, silently back to 'her' place. Aside from the giggles and cutesy comments to make her fall for it. Not surprised, she did. When she layed her head against my shoulder, I wanted more than anything for this to be Marlene. I guess that's why I want her back. So I can love her.

We finally make it inside her cave. She turns herself around in my flippers. Change of plans. " Um, so...Marlene-" She grabs my beak shut. "Shh...Don't ruin it with talk. Just..just.." She leans in and kisses me.

OK, now I really want to throw up. This is disgusting! Even her scent! I mean, Marlene smells like lovely lilac bushes in the middle of autumn...Not...not...not..UH! It's so nasty I can't describe it.

Somehow, I manage to put a loving face and smile on. This definitely is not Marlene. Never has been.

OK, I don't think I could go any farther with her. I break off the kiss, happily, and look towards the sun. "Oh, no..." She looks at me, concerned, or is that? Yep,it's fake. "I..I'm sorry, Marlene. I've got to go...It's nearly time for me to plan something very special." I look at her, winking.

She smiles deviously, "Alright. But, come back soon!" I nod, and jump over the wall surrounding her habitat. Happy to get away, I slide all the way to the gates of my habitat.

I stop suddenly. This scene before me brings tears to my eyes. She really does like me.
