Kagome watched Francis as he glided through the water. She hummed in thought when Francis poked his head out of the water. He looked at her curiously.

"Something on your mind?" He questioned, watching his favourite trainer. Kagome shrugged as she stepped into the water.

"I'm not sure. I just have a question." Kagome knelt in the water and Francis swam up to her. He stared at her, as if to tell her 'go on'. "Do you know a Doctor Blowhole?" Francis froze up a bit before shaking his head.

"Oh, no. N-not one I can think of. Where did you hear that name?" Francis swam over so he was looking her in the eye.

"Well, I saw this Zoo called Central Park Zoo and I went to have a look. When I heard the animals talking, that's how I found out I could understand animals. Some of the animals questioned me about a Dr Blowhole. It was weird." Kagome let out a laugh as Francis went a bit rigid.

"Penguins." He thought bitterly. "I hope they didn't hurt her." Francis then went back underwater, swimming in a few circles. He did a flip in the air when he surfaced. Kagome glanced around, realising it was just her and Francis. Everyone must've gone home since she was locking up again. She looked back at Francis, smiling softly.

"I don't like how the other trainer barely cares about you, Francis." She mumbled. "Tell me, do you miss being out in the ocean with your own kind?"

"Somewhat. I've gotten used to being here." Francis told Kagome, swimming around her in a full circle. "Why?" Kagome breathed in deeply before picking up a hoop. She bit her lip, not wanting to do what she was thinking. She shook her head, finally deciding.

"We're going to do one last trick, okay?" Kagome sent Francis a smile before walking to the end of a tank and glancing out towards the ocean. Standing at the edge of the tank, Kagome held up the hoop, watching Francis. "Jump."

"Wh-what?" Francis caught up with what she was hinting. He shook his head. "But I want to stay here and do tricks with you." Kagome sent him a pleading look.

"Please, Francis. For me? These tricks can be dangerous and I don't like the thought of hurting you." Kagome got down on her knees and pulled Francis into one more hug. She kissed his nose, her eyes clenched shut. "I will probably see you around if I get to go to the beach. Now, please. I'm begging." Kagome pulled back and Francis nodded, still a bit shocked at how this human was so caring. Holding up the hoop, Kagome smiled sadly.

"I'm going to miss you." Francis said honestly. Kagome laughed softly.

"Right back at you." She sighed. Francis began swimming around, prolonging his stay. Francis felt a tear drift down his soft skin when he jumped through the hoop, landing in the seawater bellow. Kagome quickly leaned over the edge to see if he was all right. "Francis? Francis!?" She called until his head poked up.

"I'm fine!" He called back. "Good bye, Kagome!" Francis began to swim off, leaving a smiling Kagome behind him. She let out a sigh before getting out of the tank. Kagome walked off and decided to close up. Since it was still light out, Kagome headed to the Central Park Zoo to see how the Penguins were.

The trip was short and Kagome soon found herself inside the H.Q with the penguins.

"Peanut butter winkie?" Private offered, along with a cup of tea. Kagome smiled at him.

"Yes, please. Thank you." Kagome took the cup before picking up the peanut butter winkie. She sipped the tea, letting out a satisfied hum. Rico let out a garbled sentence and Kagome laughed, shaking her head at the strange sounds.

"So, sister," Skipper looked at Kagome. "I hope you keep an eye out for this evil mammal. He's my arch enemy!" Kagome smiled.

"Sure, Skipper. I'm not really sure what he looks like, though." She reassured.

"Ohohoho. Trust me. You'll know when you see him." The penguin crossed his flippers before drinking some of his coffee with a fish sticking out of it. Kagome ate her peanut butter winkie before taking another drink of her tea.

"Maybe this 'Dr Blowhole' is misunderstood?" Kagome suggested, thinking deeply. "You never know. Maybe he's nice."

"Oh, there's nothing pleasant about him! Except from his skin, which is surprisingly smooth to the touch, and his singing." Private informed. Kagome blinked at him.

"I'd like to hear him sing, then." She said, drinking her tea. She set down the empty cup as Private continued.

"Oh, he's a great singer! You'd love his voice." The cute penguin replied, taking her empty cup. "More tea?" Kagome shook her head and Private went to clean the cup.

In Kowalski's lab, said penguin looked over his experiments, his eyes wide. He double checked her DNA samples and let out a hum.

"Extraordinary." Kowalski murmured, staring at the strange results. "Who would have thought?"
