" Penguin and Drabbles"
Thanks for the reviews, everyone. They were awesome. Now here's the next set of drabbles. Please enjoy.
Drabble 10: Model T or Horseless Carriage?(Inspired by a history lesson.)
" Hey, Kowalski," Private chirped as he held up a picture of a car. " What is this?"
" That is my dad's Ford Model T," Kowalski piped as he looked at the picture then paused. " Don't ask how he got a hold of it, because I don't know, either."
" Oh," Private groaned then glanced at the car. " I thought it was a funny looking wagon."
" It's not funny looking," Kowalski snapped, making Private flinch. " It's a horseless carriage with a motor and a large steering wheel."
" Wait," Private buzzed with a raised eyebrow. " You said it was a Ford Model Z."
" Model T," Kowalski spat. " And for your information it is also called the horseless carriage."
" Okay, okay," Private peeped as he held his flippers in the air. " No need to be so huffy about it."
Drabble 11: Clarice?(Inspired by a movie. Well, the title, anyway.)
Marlene was walking toward the sewer entrance to the penguin habitat, when she began hearing voices on the other side of the door. She ran over to it and leaned her head against the door, listening. " Clarice," a stern voice squeaked. " What are you doing here?"
" I came here looking for you, Skipper," Clarice chirped. Her voice was the same as Skipper's, which made Marlene chuckle, because she was expecting Clarice to be a girl.
" Why," Skipper grunted.
" I missed you," Clarice peeped. " Plus, I've been looking everywhere for you."
" You have," Skipper squawked. Before Clarice could answer, Marlene walked through the door.
" Hey, guys," Marlene chimed as she waved then looked over at Clarice who was sitting at the table, across from Skipper. Clarice looked a lot like the lead penguin; only she was feminine and was a little taller, but not by much. " Who's this," She rang, holding in her laughter as she found out that Clarice was a girl.
" I'm Clarice," Clarice binged. " I'm Skipper's…"
" Twin," Marlene squeaked, trying not to laugh at Clarice's voice.
" No," Clarice beemed. " I'm his cousin. And as you already observed, we have a strong family resemblance…We both have the family looks."
Drabble 12: Why?(Inspired by and a continued from the drabble "You Owe Me".)
It had finally happened. Kowalski had finally talked Skipper into going on a date with Marlene. Unfortunately, things were not going well. " Why," Marlene peeped as she glanced over at Skipper who was looking away from her with a sorrow look on his face. They were both sitting next to each other on the edge of the fountain, after they had gone swimming in its water.
" Because I'm still married, Marlene," Skipper groaned.
" Married," Marlene piped with a raised eyebrow. " To who?"
" A bobble head, hula doll named Lola," Skipper buzzed then sighed. " But sadly, things aren't working out?"
" Why," Marlene grunted. " More importantly, why are you dating me when you're already married to someone I have never met?"
" Because starting tomorrow I will officially be a separated, due to the fact that Lola was using me for citizenship and left me, which is why I can't continue this date with you, tonight," Skipper moaned.
" Oh," Marlene mumbled then paused. " So, how long ago were you married?"
" A year ago," Skipper muttered. " We got married in Africa. Why do you ask?"
"Uh, Skipper," Marlene squeaked. " Perhaps nobody has told you this, but you were separated the second you left Africa and came back here."
" Oh," Skipper beamed. " Well in that case, let's continue our date."
Drabble 13: Skipper Skipper(Inspired by the show. That is all.)
" Hey, Skipper," Kowalski uttered. " Do you know what I just realized?"
" What," Skipper peeped.
" You're name is Skipper and you're a Skipper," Kowalski tweeted. " Get it? Skipper Skipper."
" I get it," Skipper buzzed. " It's just not funny. Ironic, but not funny."
" Skipper, I have another question," Kowalski stated. " Did you intentionally aim for the title Skipper Skipper or did you change your first name, just for laughs?"
" No, I did not aim for that," Skipper scoffed. " And for your information, I come from a long line of Skippers. My Great, Great, Great Grandpa's name was Skipper and he was a Skipper of a baseball team, my Great, Great Grandpa's name was Skipper and he won the skipping contest as a kid, my Great Grandpa's name was Skipper and he was going to be the mascot for "Skippy Peanut Butter", but it never happened, my Grandpa's name is Skipper, but all he did was skip school, and my aunt's name is Skipper and she…well, she became Dr. Skipper, after going to medical school. He he. I cannot believe my mother's parents gave her that name."
" What's wrong with naming a girl Skipper, Skipper," Kowalski raised an eyebrow.
" It's a boy's name," Skipper grunted with a chuckle. " Sure it's a family name, but still. It's...a...boy's...name."
" Actually, Skipper," Kowalski dinged. " Skipper can be a girl's name, too. As a matter of fact, I have a twin whose name is Skipper."
LOL. That's a lot of Skippers. Anywho. I hope you enjoyed this set of drabbles. Please stay tuned to read more. Thank-you.
