Chapter 2
Thanks to those of you who reviewed! :D I am thinking of having either Tara, Bria, Emily or Jessica fall for Rico. He will feel the same of course. But who do you think it should be? Leave a review with your thoughts!
Tara, Emily, Jessica and Bria looked around. Everything looked bigger.
"Is everything always this large and scary?" Emily asked, clinging to Jessica.
"You get used to it" Kowalski replied, chuckling.
"In the meantime, you girls have to come with us to the zoo meeting" Skipper said. The girls stood, and dusted themselves off.
"Just let me text my mom, she'll need to bring us food and clothes" Tara stated, turning on her iPhone again.
"Why?" Private inquired.
"We can't eat raw fish! And we can't exactly wear the same clothes every day" Jessica pointed out.
...
A few minutes later, the girls, the penguins, plus every other animal in the zoo was in the gift shop, holding the meeting.
"First order of business, we would like to introduce some temporary members of the zoo!" Skipper proclaimed. The girls stepped forward.
Tara came first. Her tan skin glowed in the moonlight as she stood. She had her light brown hair pulled into a ponytail, and her green eyes looked wide and alert, despite the time. She wore a pink tee with a blue star over her chest, and black tights with pink flip-flops.
"That's a human!" Marlene called.
"They are not like other humans. Tara here has raised over three hundred dollars for ASPCA, which apparently helps stop animal abuse" Kowalski introjected.
Bria went next. Her brown skin complemented the forest green dress she wore, which went down to her kneecaps. It had a black belt in the middle, and she also had green high tops. Her black hair was pulled into braids, and her bangs came just above her dark brown eyes.
"Bria helps at her animal shelter in her home town, and also helps stray animals off of the street find good homes" Skipper stated.
Up next was Emily. Her long blonde hair framed her cream colored face, and her blue eyes stood behind purple glasses. She wore a pink camisole with a black lacey shrug, and a blue jean skirt with red sneakers.
"Emily volunteers at her zoo, and also has raised over two hundred dollars for ASPCA" Kowalski informed. The animals were slowly starting to look accomadating.
Lastly, Jessica. She had her sleek black hair pulled into a bun. Her black eyes shined in the moonlight. She wore a purple polo shirt, with matching tights and sneakers.
"Jessica has not only raised over five hundred dollars for ASPCA, but she also helps out at the zoo on weekends" Skipper said. The animals stayed quiet for a moment.
"You said that they're temporary, exactly how long will they be staying?" Marlene finally asked.
"Four weeks and six days" Private responded.
"Well, we may as well get along during that time" Marlene sighed.
"As long as they are not sitting on the throne of mine!" Julien snapped. The girls looked at him weird.
"Freak" Jessica muttered under her breath.
"Totally" Bria agreed.
The rest of the zoo meeting passed without anything worth reporting, except maybe some jokes told by the girls.
...
The next morning, Jessica was sent to see if Tara's mother dropped off the food and clothes.
"Here it is!" she called, dropping the stuff down the chute. Jessica followed soon after.
"Awesome!" the rest of the girls came to sort out the bag.
When they were done, the penguins started to awaken.
"Hey, girls" Rico mumbled. The rest of the penguins said their greetings.
"Hey, guys. My mom dropped off the stuff last night, so... What do you want us to do all day?" Tara asked. Skipper thought a moment.
"The zoo isn't open today, because it's Sunday. All of the zookeepers should have gone home, and won't be back until tomorrow" he said finally.
"That's nice. So I repeat, what do we do all day?" Tara said dryly.
I'm not sure what they would do, so if you have any ideas for the next chapter let me know in a review! :D
