"Hey guys," Carlene waved at the penguins, hoping they would mistake her for Marlene.
"Hello Marlene, Drop by for a visit?" Private asked smiling, as her thought it was Marlene, "Let me think, he's short, sounds British, Warm smile, this one must be Private. Carlene Thought trying to remember How Marlene described all of them.
"Yeah Private, just got bored at my habitat," She Could only pray it was Private she had just addressed. He nodded happily as if her were agreeing with her.
"Hello Marlene." Kowalski Greeted, as he approached her, "Lets think, he's no short, so he's Not skipper, and he's talking so it's not Rico, This one had to be Kowalski." she guessed hoping she was right.
"Hey Kowalski," He raised an eye noticing her voice was a slightly lower pitch. She smiled lightly, As Rico Slid over to her on his stomach, His tongue hung out of the side of his mouth. She knew quickly this one was Rico, since she already met private and Kowalski, not to mention he wasn't acting like a military leader.
She didn't bother with him, she remember Marlene saying he wasn't big on words, so I really didn't need to greet him just smile. So that's what she did.
"Well look who decided to visit." Skipper popped his head out of the fish bowl Entrance, Jumping onto the platform and sliding over to her. He jumped up landing in front of her, he stared at her for a second, not only Kowalski noticed something different, but Skipper did too.
"Have you gotten taller? Who are you?" He asked suspiciously eyeing her carefully. Carlene Backed up a little, and thought about it for a minute, what would Marlene say?
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Have you gone commando crazy Skipper?" she asked pushing on his shoulders so he would scoot back some. "That should be Convincing enough, I hope." she thought, resisting the urge to put her paw on her cheek, She knew that was something Marlene didn't do.
A loud smack quickly filled the air; the penguins looked around in investigation. Nothing visible, not until a White golf ball struck Carlene in the back of the head, she fell forward, Pushing Skipper down with her. He looked up at her, and gasped.
"Hold the Phone, Aren't your eyes green, or brown?" he asked noticing that in the place of the Beautiful brown sometimes green he'd gotten so used to were sparkling blue grey eyes. Carlene Quickly returned to her feet, and backed up from skipper, Kowalski looked at her eyes.
"This isn't Marlene," He gasped.
"Men Get the Impersonator." Skipper ordered, The other penguins rushed at her, grabbing her arms, Skipper slid up to her eyeing her carefully. He walked around her several times. The others held a tight Grip on her.
"Hey guys calm down a bit." Carlene Pleaded, they didn't loosen a grip on her one bit.
"Hey guys what's going on?" Marlene rushed to her older sister side. Confused by what had happened.
"Sweet Malaises, it's a clone." Skipper exclaimed Kowalski raised an eye brow at him.
"Highly illogical, clones are positively identical, I'd say it's more likely she's an alien, I say we cut her open and see what her organs are like." He Offered making Skipper gripped his stomach tightly.
"Or maybe she's my sister." Marlene spoke up; The penguins eyed her carefully before Skipper told them to release their grip on Carlene. She scrambled away from them, Standing beside her younger sister.
"Sincerest apologies." Private bowed his head for a moment, before being slapped by Rico to pull it together. He gave a grunt and blew it off.
"Guys this is my older sister, Carlene." Marlene happily introduced her, she smiled waving to the small crowd of penguins. All but skipper waved back, Marlene walked over to him.
"Don't be such a sour sport skipper, we were just joking around." Marlene put a hand on his shoulder, He looked at her, He saw the big green eyes that he missed, and the happy go lucky smile that brightened his day on a regular basis.
"Nice to meet you Carlene." Skipper greeted, holding out a flipper for her to shake. Carlene happily accepted, happy she had been forgiven.
"Carlene is going to stay with me for a week or two." Marlene interjected with such excitement that made Skipper smile. Skipper walked over to his troop, standing in front of them like a leader should.
"We'll be of any assistance needed. Right men?" skipped asked, they all jumped into a ready position, Marlene Let out a low laugh, and pulled on Carlene's arm. Waving goodbye to each of them, Rico and Kowalski returned to the underground H.Q. As Private and Skipper watched Marlene and Carlene leave.
"I like Carlene she was nice." Private announced, blushing under his feathers, Skipper gave looked at him, as he smiled after Carlene, He felt bad for the kid. He was to young for her, but he could see the excitement in Privates face.
"Your to young for her private." He sadly explained, Private blushed again., but didn't let his hurt pride show.
"That's not what I meant Skipper." He lied, Skipper began walking toward the fishbowl entrance with Private next to him, he smiled at the young penguin. Knowing he was lying to him.
