Marlene hugged her sister tightly, not wanting her to leave. Of course Carlene had to return home to her aquarium, Carlene didn't want to go either; she loved her sister and the beautiful home she had, She loved the fun she had, she loved the way the sun set over the zoo at night, and how it raised up in the morning and the fritter fratter of the zoo.

Most of all she loved her new friends; she loved the Penguins and the dolphins she even was going to miss annoying Julien. Carlene let go of her sister and smiled trying to perk her up.

"I'll come visit more often, I promise." Marlene shook her head and put on a small smile, than she moved over to Kowalski and Rico, she smiled at them kindly and hugged each one. She walked over to Skipper who was standing tall and brave, He saluted her and she did the same back. Carlene leaned in hugging him tightly.

"Be nice to my little sister of else." She whispered in his ear, Skipper smiled and nodded his head. Carlene came over to Private, and began to get tears in her eyes, this is the one she knew she was going to have the hardest time forgetting.

She remembered how excited he was when he asked her out, the glimmer in his eyes and the determination he had. She remembered how much fun that night was, she stayed close to him the whole time, he was happy and sincere the entire ride.

She knew he was only a young lad, but to her it didn't seem so, He was Private the barely old enough Penguin, He was Private the penguin that showed her a good time, Private the Penguin that cared for everyone, Private her favorite penguin, Private her penguin.

She wrapped her arms around him, and images shot back into her head from Marlene and Skippers date, Private had wrapped an arm around her, he held her paw, he hugged her and encouraged her. Private was always so sweet and caring, and she was really going to miss him.

"Private I'll be back to visit soon ok." She said with a broken voice, it was rough from crying, Private nodded his head, trying to hold back tears. She kissed him once more on the cheek and returned to look at the entire group; each one stared at her, trying not to cry.

"Be brave men." Skipper urged, holding back tears as Marlene was snug in his flippers. The others nodded and sniffled. Carlene waved good bye, and they all waved back. With That Carlene Turned and left, each penguin forgot what Skipper said and let their tears go.

2 days later

"Skippa!" Private yelled excitedly bursting through the Fishbowl entrance, Skipper turned around to face him, Private panted a few times out of breath.

"Marlene is getting another roommate," He yelled out, Marlene walked in through the door in the back she was smiling brightly and was dancing around happily.

"It's an otter! I heard Alice say it's an otter." She sang spinning around, grabbing Skipper by the flippers and dancing around with him. He was pulled from place to place unable to keep up with Marlene's active dancing and playing.

"She might still be a spy Marlene, remember Rhonda?" Skipper asked Breaking away from her, Marlene shuttered at the thought of the disgusting animal.

"Can we please just give her a chance? Please Skipper," she asked leaning in closer, opening her eyes wide and cute trying to convince him. He smiled charmingly and nodded his head.

"Marlene you are…"

"Cute and Naïve yeah I know." she interrupted happily; he smiled again, and shook his head.

"Just cute." He stated, taking her paw in his Flipper, than they walked over to Marlene's Habitat to see who the new Roommate was going to be. Alice walked over to the habitat, and the penguins ducked into the bushes, she set down a small crate and walked away.

The Penguins emerged from the bushes ready to crack the crate, it was bolted close which was odd, why would Alice leave the Crate closed.

"Rico Crowbar." Skipper demanded, in a second Rico spit up a crowbar and held it out for Skipper to take, before he touched it, Marlene swiped it from his hand she smiled and took a step forward.

"Ladies first." She mocked; she stepped up next to the crate, about to shove the crowbar into the side to open the crate with her new roommate. Before she had a chance, the top shot off, sending Marlene backwards, with the crowbar. Skipper caught her and they all looked to the box to see the new otter roommate.

"Wow this place looks familiar." A common voice said they all stared in shock as the Female otter rose from the box; Marlene jumped up and ran toward her.

"Carlene what are you doing here?" She asked, hugging Carlene Tightly happy to see her sister.

"I got back and they shoved me in a transfer crate." She explained letting go of her Marlene. Rico came up and jumped on her tackling her to the ground hugging her and purring, she chuckled and got up. Kowalski was next to greet her, he hugged her calmly and smiled at her happily

"Welcome back Cadet." Skipper Saluted, she grinned smugly, than hugged him. When she looked at Private he was still in shock. She smiled happily and raced over to him, hugging him tightly. He returned her Embrace happily, and excitedly.

"I told you I'd be back." She whispered to him, he pulled back to look her in the eyes, she smiled and starred back, Private leaned in, kissing her lightly. When he pulled back, her expression was surprise and bliss. She leaned in again kissing him once more.

Marlene looked at Skipper and nudged him, pointing back to Carlene and Private. Skipper smiled happily and wrapped an arm around Marlene; He dipped her backwards kissing her deeply.

"Perfect." Marlene and Carlene muttered in unison, they laughed and hugged their penguins blissfully. The sun started setting making the sky turn red; a beautiful sunset ended the day.

The End!!
