A/N Yay! Two chapters in one day! I love Sundays, it's the only day I'm allowed on the computer all day long! Sorry for the short chapter, it was mostly a filler.
Disclaimer- I don't own my o.c.'s but I do own the penguins. Wait, I got that backwards. I don't own the penguins, but I do own my o.c.'s.
Chapter 3: To Meet Psychotic Penguins
I slowly drifted back into into consciousness. I had a splitting headache and my body hurt like heck. The first thought that entered my head was 'Man, that must have been one crazy party last night...'
But as I woke up more, I remembered what happened. I opened my eyes and shot up like a bullet.
"Agh!" Bad choice. I sat up to fast and pain and dizziness coursed through my body as I fell back down.
Ok, let's try this again, only a bit more slower this time.
Once I was up, I surveyed my surroundings. I was in a cave created by the fallen support beams and large chunks of concrete. I glanced to my left and noticed two unconscious but breathing penguins about ten feet away.
I let out an audible gasp and I rushed as fast as I could to them, without making myself dizzy again. One of them, I noticed right away, was Private, but I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out who the second penguin was. I didn't think I had ever seen him before.
"Private!" I yelled, trying to wake him up. He had blood all over him from where the concrete hit, and his left flipper was bent at a sickly angle.
"Private! Please wake up!" He remained motionless. I had begun to fear he wouldn't wake up.
While my desperate efforts were wasted on Private, I noticed the other penguin had begun to stir.
"Ugh, that hurts." The penguin said in an erringly familiar voice. I had to do a double take.
"Mary?" I asked, disbelieving.
"Yeah?" She grumbled out, still half asleep.
"Don't freak out, but you're a penguin."
She shot up "What!" and grabbed her head in pain. Mary then looked up at to me and her eyes widened in surprise.
"What?" I questioned.
"Aly you're a penguin too!"
I looked down at my body. Sure enough, I was a penguin. I was the same breed as Private. I guessed I was about as tall as the penguin with the mohawk. One oddity I noticed, however, was that all the scars that I had gotten in the past from various accidents, showed up on my penguin body. I also had slight curves where my hips were.
After I was done taking in what I looked like as a penguin, I glanced at Mary. She still had her soft blue eyes. She was the same same breed also but she was as tall as the penguin who tried to deactivate the laser. Her curves were slightly more defined than mine, but her upper chest was a yellow a little more pronounced than her hair color.
"Wow." We both said at the same time.
A low groan alerted me back to Private, who, until now, I had forgotten about.
"Wow," Mary said again "What happened to him?"
Suddenly we heard a rumbling noise from behind us, right before an explosion blew a hole into the surrounding rubble.
"Rico, I told you explosives could cause another cave-in either burying us or Private!" I heard a voice say.
Then I heard another voice grumble out something that sounded like "Sowwy"
The dust cleared and I could see that it was the other three penguins. They looked over to see us standing over an unconscious and injured Private. I realized how bad this looked.
"Wait," I began "This is what it looks li-" I didn't even get to finish explaining though, because the leader penguin lurched toward me. I barely had time to react before I felt a sharp slap in my neck and I crumpled unconscious.
I woke up to find myself tied to a chair with my hands- er, flippers- tied behind me. A single light hung above me shining like a spotlight so that I couldn't see the room around me. It was an interrogation room.
"Grr..." I growled "How many times is this going to happen to me in one day!"
"With your luck, I'd say about five more times." I heard a voice say behind me.
"Mary!" I exclaimed, happy we were in the same room "How long have you been up?"
"About three minutes, I've been trying to wake you up the whole time."
"You know me, a nuclear bomb could go off and I still wouldn't get up."
It was true. My family bought the loudest alarm clock they could find and I still wouldn't wake up. However, of you were to even brush me, I would wake up instantly and probably punch you in the face. Mary learned to wake me up by throwing shoes at me. She thought it was hilarious.
"Anyway, are you tied to a chair too?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm right behind you." I couldn't help but notice a slightly annoyed tone in her voice.
"What's wrong?" I asked, concerned.
"I should have known that, if I hung out with you long enough, your bad luck would have affected me too!"
"Hey!" I said defensively "Ok, fair enough, but what did I do this time?"
"We just happened to be the humans to walk down that alley? I didn't even want to, you're the who made me!"
"I'm sorry! You know how I am with shiny objects!"
We continued the argument for the next several minutes, until a voice rang out "Quiet, spies!"
"Uh, we're not spies." Mary said in the direction of the voice.
"Yeah we're just two humans who got kidnapped by a diabolical dolphin and turned into penguins!" I said defensively.
"You realize how crazy that sounds, Aly?"
"But it's true! Hey, what do you want with us, anyway?" I asked the voice.
"Hey, I'll be the one asking questions here! Now, what did you do to Private?"
"Private! Oh my gosh, is he Ok?" I asked concerned.
"That's classified. Now, I'll ask again, what did you do to Private!"
"Skippah, I already told you they didn't do anything to me!" I sighed in relief when I heard Private's voice.
"Private's right! We didn't do anything to him." Mary started.
I heard the voice sigh in frustration.
"Would you be willing to take a lie detector test to prove it?"
"Sure," We both answered.
The lights flickered on.
