It was Kagome's day off, sadly. The young woman still decided to visit Flippy and see what his other trainer was like. Wearing a cream-coloured summer dress, Kagome headed off to see her favourite dolphin. She walked with a skip in her step, humming softly. She clutched her satchel as she passed by people until something caught her eye. The words 'CENTRAL PARK ZOO' captured her attention. Being the curious female she was, Kagome made her way towards the zoo.

"Hmm," Kagome glanced around the large habitats. She looked at a sign and smiled at the picture of four penguins and an arrow. "I love penguins." The Asian female mumbled, heading right towards the aquatic animals. Kagome leaned over the barrier, her eyes trained on the smallest, chubbiest penguin. She cooed softly.

"Aww, you're so cute!" The penguin looked at her, tilting his head, making her squeal even more. She watched as the four penguins did a routine before clapping at the end. "This gives me an idea for Flippy!" The penguin then looked at each other, making Kagome tilt her head. Her eyes widened when she heard voices.

"... could she mean Blowhole?" The one with a flat head muttered. The smallest shrugged.

"She might. It's possible."

"Woah woah woah, what?!" Kagome cried out, making the penguins look at her. "You guys can talk?!" The penguins let out gasps.

"She can understand us? She may have heard us. She knows too much. Rico, take her out!" The flat-headed penguin yelled and the penguin with a scar and a mohawk disappeared.

"Wh-" Kagome began but then her world went black.

She was forced awake by a bright light and a slap to her shin. Kagome let out a yelp and tried to back up until she realised she was tied to a chair.

"What the hell is going on?!" Kagome exclaimed, staring at the four animals.

"Talk, sister! How can you understand us and Tell us all you know of Blowhole!" The flat-headed penguin demanded.

"I don't know, okay?!" Kagome wriggled around. "I just came into the zoo and I suddenly heard you speaking! I don't know how that happened! And who's this 'Blowhole' guy!" She looked at the penguins, feeling tears come into her eyes.

"Oh, here come the waterworks." Flat-head said. The small one frowned.

"Oh, no. Please, don't cry, miss! If you really answer our questions truthfully, then we'll let you go." He informed, patting Kagome's shin comfortingly.

"Please, just let me go. I just want to make sure Flippy's other trainer is treating him right." Kagome begged, desperate to see the smooth-skinned mammal. She pulled on her restraints. " already answered your questions honestly! Please, let me go!"

"I think she's telling the truth, Skipper." The tall penguin looked at the one with a flat head.

"Oh, really? Well, what if she's a SPY!?"

"No! I swear I'm not a spy! Please, I just want to make sure Flippy's safe! I don't know how nor why I can understand you! Please!" Kagome looked at them pleadingly. "What can I do to prove it to you?!"

"Let me run a few tests on you. Then, maybe we'll let you go." The tall one stated. "We can use the lie detector to see if you're telling the truth."

"Well, I'd at least like to know your names." Kagome frowned, relaxing her tense muscles.

"Well, I'm Private!" The small one smiled, waving. "And that's Rico over there." Private pointed to the crazed-looking bird.

"Ya." Rico nodded.

"I'm Kowalski, a pleasure." The tall penguin nodded at her. Kagome nodded back.

"Likewise, Kowalski." She replied, before looking at the last penguin.

"I'm Skipper. Just remember, if you try anything, we WILL torture you." He said, eyes narrowed. Kagome's eye widened.

"I understand." She bowed her head when a helmet was suddenly placed on her head.

"Now, tell us some general stuff about you." Kowalski pulled out a clipboard.

"Well, okay. I'm Kagome Higurashi and I moved here from Japan three weeks ago. I'm 21 years old and I really like My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce The Veil, bands like that." Kagome said what came into her mind.

"It checks out, Skipper." Kowalski nodded at Skipper, who hummed.

"Let me try. Do you know Dr Blowhole?"

"No, I don't know who you're talking about." Kagome shook her head.

"She's speaking the truth." Private exclaimed, his flippers up in the air.

"Hmm, how can you understand us?" Skipper pressed on.

"I don't know. As I told you before, it just suddenly happened today."

"All right. She's telling the full truth." The brainy penguin set down his clipboard and walked up to the brown-eyed female. "Mind if I take some blood samples and a few strands of hair?"

"Be my guest." Kagome shrugged softly. Kowalski's flipper reached up and yanked some hair out of her head. "Ow!" Kagome flinched, gritting her teeth softly.

"Sorry." Kowalski brought a needle out of thin air, making Kagome pale. Private noticed and patted her knee as the syringe went in her right arm, drawing the sample of blood Kowalski needed. "Thank you. We can untie her now." The ropes were cut and Kagome let out a sigh of relief, getting up.

"Now, I really gotta get going. I guess I could visit on my next day off." Kagome shrugged at them. Private led her out and gave her a wave as she headed off towards Coney Island. With a sigh, Kagome shook her head. What a weird day this was turning out to be. Then, she thought for a bit.

"Does that mean I can talk to Flippy?" With newfound energy, Kagome raced to Coney Island to see the dolphin. Hurrying through the entrance, Kagome sprinted for Flippy's tank. Stopping right in front of it, Kagome let out a sigh. Flippy's head poked out and a gasp escaped his mouth.

"Kagome, your arm! You're bleeding!" He exclaimed, making Kagome stand there, dumbfounded.

"So, I can also understand you!" Kagome clapped her hands together before kneeling by the tank and placing a kiss on Flippy's head.

"Wh-what? You can understand me?" Flippy blinked. Kagome nodded, smiling. "Well, we shall clear up a few things. My name is really Francis, you're the best trainer I have ever hand and I will protect you from any jerks like that one from before." 'Flippy', or Francis, spoke. Kagome felt her cheeks turn slightly pink.

"Really? I'm the best trainer you've ever had? And you... want to protect me?" She questioned, her eyes wide. Francis nodded. "Oh, thank you, Francis." Kagome patted his head. "This means a lot to me."

"All right, Flippy. Get ready to jump the hoop." Another female trainer walked up, boredly looking at her fake nails. She had bleach blonde hair and she obviously wore a lot of fake tan. Francis groaned.

"Please, not her. I don't like my other trainer." Francis mumbled.

"I can see why." Kagome whispered. The woman looked at Kagome.

"Go away." She said, looking back at her nails.

"Excuse me, but I am the other trainer and I'm checking up on Fra-uh, Flippy." Kagome crossed her arms. Francis then nuzzled the blood on her arm from where the needle had pierced her flesh, wiping it away before plunging underwater to wash it off his nose.

"Yeah, okay." The woman said in a monotone voice, the hoop going down.

"You should at least get into the water and ask what Fran-I mean, Flippy wants!" Kagome exclaimed. The woman looked at her incredulously.

"And why would I do that? I don't want my tan coming off! Plus, this could really break my nails."

"You aren't even in uniform!" Kagome pointed at her clothes. The woman rolled her eyes, pissing Kagome off even more. "Fine then! I'll do it myself." Kagome stepped into the water, grabbing the hoop. "Flippy, what do you want to do? The hoop in my hand or hanging up?" Francis splashed once.

"Obviously. I haven't hoop jumped yet today so we should start low." Francis rolled his eyes, making Kagome laugh softly.

"Fire or not?"

One splash.

"Okay, then. Ready?" Kagome smiled, holding the hoop high and ignoring the wet sensation of her dress soaking up water. As normal, Francis gained speed and jumped through the hoop. "Great, Flippy! I'm so proud!"

"Blah, blah, blah, met me do my job my way." The woman growled. Kagome sighed, softly snarling.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Francis." Kagome whispered to the dolphin, getting out of the water. She sent the mammal a wave and headed home, Francis waving a flipper back while disobeying the other trainer's commands.
