Oh my gosh! I got like more reviews after I uploaded chapter 2! I didn't know that many people cared for this story. And I'm sorry but chapters that are as big as the Titanic is something I can't do. And for the grammar cop: sorry for it but please don't bother me about it. I already have people who point out my mistakes and I kind of know grammar isn't my best subject. And to the anonymous reviewer: Rinitasilverclaw : technology is great :)Well let's continue.
Skipper woke up early as always and got off of bed. The first thing he saw was the empty bed that Private sleeps in. Skipper scratched his head as he got his usual fish coffee ready. He'd have to bother Marlene and his annoying neighbors: King Julien, Mort and Maurice (or as he calls King Julien and Mort: Ringtail and Sad Eyes) to ask if they saw Private. He sighed and told Kowalski and Rico to wake up.
"He's not here, is he?" asked Kowalski groggily as he hopped off of bed.
Skipper shook his head, "we'll have to bother Marlene, Sad Eyes and Ringtail to see if they saw him"
Rico stared hungrily at the table which had fish as Skipper and Kowalski chatted.
"Are you sure he's running away?" asked Kowalski sounding worried.
"Positive. He hasn't come back so let's just ask them if they saw him."
Kowalski stared at Private's empty bed, "hey, I think there's a note in Private's bed."
Skipper grabbed the note and began to read it out loud:
Dear, Skipper, Rico and Kowalski,
if your reading this note, then it must be morning.
I guess all I wanna say is: I'm running away.
I would often feel like I don't belong here anyway.
Even though you guys are always treat each other like soldiers
I always thought of us as brothers
please don't look for me,
I will always remember you guys.
-Private
Skipper and Kowalski fell silent.
"After breakfast, we'll try to gather up all the stories we can" said Skipper.
But instead of the table being full with fish, it was filled with fish bones
"Rico!" said Skipper and Kowalski.
"What?" asked Rico
Skipper sighed, "Never mind about breakfast. Let's just find Marlene and the others"
Marlene groggily woke up through the sunlight's rays. Before she walked outside, a piece of paper caught her eye. She bent over to pick it up and read the note:
Dear Marlene,
I have to run away
I know you won't understand but I have to
don't forget about me
I will miss you, Marlene
-Private
P.s: Skipper has a crush on you
Marlene stared shockingly at the note.
Private's actually running away? Why would he do that? Wondered Marlene as she paced back and forth at her room. And does Skipper actually have a crush on me?
"Marlene!" a voice startled her.
She screamed a little and fell, "Skipper, are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
"Sorry, we were just wondering if you by any chance saw Private Yesterday night"
Marlene hid the note behind her back "uh, no sorry. Maybe you can ask Mort, Maurice or Julien?"
"What are you hiding?"
"Uh, n-nothing, Skipper"
Skipper wouldn't take no for an answer and tried to take the note. The note ripped in half and Marlene felt her heart beat rapidly as Skipper read the note.
"Private did leave a note for you. But are you sure you haven't seen him?"
Marlene felt a wave of relief wash over her, "I'm terribly sorry, Skipper but I haven't seen him"
"Butter milk biscuits" he said under his breath as the gang left Marlene's habitat.
I wanted to do more but I felt like I should end the chapter here. The next chapter will be posted soon. I hope but I'll try. And should I have a little bit SkipperXMarlene?
