Thanks for the advice! And yes, I know I posted chapter 2 twice, I was having a disagreement with my computer. Comment as often as you can and watch out for cars!
Chapter 3
Rico thought the explosion would be hot. So why was it cold? And whywas it calling his name?
"For the last time, soldier, WAKE UP!" At Skipper's command, Rico jumped and landed in a fighting position onto the… ice?
"Good you're up," noted Kowalski, whose flippers were crossed. "I was just rethinking the theory of why is the floor of our H.Q covered in ice ?"
"Yeah, Rico, no explosives? Have you gone hippie!" Skipper asked.
"Skippah, you said hippies were against we stand for, but this is fun!" Private demonstrated his point by doing a figure eight in the ice. Rico glanced warily at the frozen water before smiling and joining Private's performance with a 360-degree turn into the air. He landed five feet in front of Private and the two zigzagged before a series of events that would pain the average human eyes.
Kowalski turned to Skipper, "Well if Rico didn't do it, who did?" Speech was unnecessary, it was obvious from the crumpled up juice box, the recently closed fridge, and the overran stench of hair products what happened.
"Not to mention that …" Kowalski took a deep breath of air "The Travelerex… it's… it's actually, I don't know what's happened to it. Hmm, I'll need to make an exam. Rico, I'll need a stethoscope, a package of… are you even listening?"
Private came to Rico's defense. "Oh, lighten up, Kowalski, I'm sure the Travelerex is fine. Just watch, as soon as I press this button right here it'll…"
"Private, NO!" Kowalski and Skipper yelled at the same time. But, it was too late; flipper and button touched and the four surprised penguins vanished in an explosion of green.
The next chapter will consist of where Private, Kowalski and Rico are. I had to rearrange my Denmark theory a little thanks to Hans. Thanks a lot Hans!
