THERE IS MORE THAN ONE SHOUT OUT WINNER, BUT A THERE IS A SPECIAL DREAM THAT I AM SPENDING AND ENTIRE CHAPTER ON.
The sun had already gone down and a gently night fall covered the entire zoo, Marlene laid her head on the pillow and was in instant slumber. She smiled as a dream instantly hit her mind, starting with her and Skipper, she saw candle light and stars.
knockknocktimerico- Marlene looked around, Skipper was sitting across from her at a table covered in elegant white clothe, Private was playing a Spanish guitar sweetly, while Rico was softly keeping the beat with drums, Kowalski had a bow tied around his neck, and was waiting on them hand and foot.
Kowalski set a plate of oysters between them, next to the plate of salmon and sardines. The candle left a sparkle in Skippers blue eyes that was truly hard to ignore. She couldn't help but smile while staring into him gently pupils, The Spanish guitar ringing in her ears.
Skipper's beak was turned upward into a blissful grin; the background was the sunset in the center of a rose garden. The smell of fish and seafood filled the air. Marlene was aw struck, this was pure bliss and happiness she was feeling, this was the perfect romance.
"Marlene, I love you." Skipper announced sweetly, Kowalski Rico and Private awed in response, Marlene's eyes gleamed in happiness at the words. She leaned forward and kissed Skipper passionately; Skipper rose from his chair, and took hold of Marlene's paw in his flipper.
"I'll always love you Marlene." His flippers were sleek and smooth, his voice was calm and Charming, he kneeled down below her with hope in his eye, and ordered Kowalski over to him. He was at his leader's side in an instant a small black box encased in his flippers.
Skipper Retrieved the box and Kowalski disappeared, Marlene knew what the box meant, and her head started spinning, she instantly made up her mind as Skipper began to open the box.
"Marlene, do you love me enough?" He asked as he revealed a dazzling ring that rested in the black velvet on the cushions in the box. Marlene gained a tear in her eye, as she heard a key board start up sweetly, and the gentle drum beats and Spanish guitar.
Kowalski Started singing the songs to one of Marlene's favorite Spanish love songs, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked down at the still smiling Skipper. Her heart danced in joy, and more tears came pouring out her face, "I do, Skipper." She cheered and jumped into his arms excitedly
-Marlene Woke up in an instant as a feeling of anger passed over her, 'why did she have to wake up?' she laid her head down with a grown and desperately tried to fall asleep again.
Ponytail30527- The dream was different this time, she was being pulled along with Skipper. Toward the front gate. "I have a surprise for you Marlene." He kept saying with a grin on his face. Marlene was growing more and more anxious with every step she took.
Her caution was great, yet her patients was wearing thin. Skipper stopped underneath the gate and looked around, a smile grew on his face as he spotted a wooden ladder. He pulled Marlene toward it and took the first step, her eyes widened with fear.
"I'm afraid Skipper, I hate heights." She whimpered as she backed away cautiously, Skipper smiled and held tight to her paw, "Do you trust me Marlene?" He challenged sweetly, Marlene nodded her head and stepped toward the ladder, holding onto Skipper the entire time.
The sun was setting as they reached the top of the bell tower, Painting a rainbow of warm colors across the sky like a canvas. Marlene awed as she watched the sun set farther into the ground, she looked over to see if Skipper had the same expression of joy as she.
"Will you?" He asked as he was kneeled before her with a ring in his flippers, he urged it toward her, and she smiled in delight and excitement, she nodded her head and gratefully accepted the ring.
-"Dang, why do I keep waking up?" Marlene groaned as her eyes fluttered open, she couldn't see any light and the others were all asleep, meaning that she still had time to catch some sleep. Again, she closed her eyes hoping for another dream.
Jingle101- Marlene sat with her family ready for her mothers famous Sunday morning breakfast, it was peaceful and calm, she could smell the fresh fish and strawberries (not together) and her excitement grew. The sound of medal clanging erupted in their ears.
They turned to see, Skipper Private Kowalski and Rico all standing with a slouch, and soon they knew why, Skippers parents burst through the opened sewer gate. The older penguins they had never met, and vise versa confused Martha and Arthur.
"This is a wonderful surprise, good thing I made extra breakfast, will you be joining us?" Martha asked rushing to greet the two new penguins. Skipper mother stepped forward excitedly and shook Martha's hand, "Hi I'm Leah, I'm Skippers mother."
"Oh my goodness, this is an honor Marlene has told me great things about you." Martha shook her hand excitedly with a goofy grin on her face, she assumed the other one was Skipper's father, which she did not hear great things about, in fact they weren't even good things.
"Retired captain Henry." Henry boasted with a sleek step forward, Martha rolled her eyes and nodded, not bothering to offer him a hand. Skipper smiled, now he remembered why he liked her.
"I'm glad everyone is here, Marlene I have something to ask you." Skipper smiled charmingly and kneeled down below her, Marlene stood shocked, Skipper took hold of her paw, as everyone in the room except the captain awed, and Skipper squeezed her hand lightly before asking.
"Will you marry me?" He asked hopefully, Marlene smiled and kneeled down with him. "Yes, Skipper." She cheered as she wrapped her arms around his sleek feather covered neck.
-"You have got to be kidding me?!?!?!" Marlene hissed as she found herself awake just as it got to the good part, the sun wasn't up yet, but she could see it glimmering over the horizon, she could squeeze in one more dream, so she closed her eyes one last time.
Inugomegirl- Marlene stood at the alter, Skipper was in front of her holding her paws carefully, she smiled and felt her heart take flight, after all the proposal dreams now was the wedding. The priest was Phil, with Mason as the interpreter, all her friends were in the crowd, but Captain was nowhere to be found.
She couldn't help but feel relief when she saw Skipper's Mother sitting alone, Kowalski and Private, Rico, and Darrin were the groom's men, and it was uncertain who the best man was. Darlene Carlene, her cousin Cathy and old best friend Arla were her bride's house cleaners, again uncertain of the maid of honor.
She couldn't be any happier, and she truly couldn't be because at that moment, a yelp of pain was heard, she turned to see where it came from, and saw Skipper being dragged off Captain forcefully, while Skipper struggled to break free.
"You ungrateful boy, you were never as well as your brother." Captain shouted as he pulled Skipper to the door, than it hit her, if he was being pulled off, whom was a she holding hands with. She turned back to see Julien, holding to her hands tightly, and smiling all giddy.
-"AH!" Marlene screamed shooting her head upward, she looked around to see everyone crowding around her with concern in there eyes. Skipper was kneeled next to her, she gave him one glance and pulled him into a hug, not even Captain would be that sour, would he?
"Feh, pathetic." Captain scoffed from behind them, Marlene was corrected, he could be that sour. She jumped from her spot and stood him square in the eye, she was angrier now than she ever was.
"Excuse me, 'Captain'?" she put air quotes around captain, and he raised an eye at her, yet no one bothered to stop her. "Why don't you shut up and stop being so sour, I just woke up from the worst dream of my life, and guess what, YOU were the cause of it!" Marlene shrieked angrily.
"You are just a mean old man, and I don't know what could ever make you this way, but why don't you just zip it and LEAVE ME ALONE." By now, her voice was at a full-blown yell, and her voice rumbled through the habitat, she felt her head heating up quickly.
Marlene tumbled to the ground uncontrollably, and was caught by Skipper's strong flippers. "Marlene? Marlene, wake up Marlene!" She heard Skippers voice cry out before everything went black.
