That night Skipper packed his stuff including his 1911 pistol and the scarf that Marlene gave to him. After he packed his luggage he opened a bottle of champagne and thinks about Marlene crying and embracing his corps. Skipper shook his head and tries not think about dying. The next morning, Skipper was accompanied by his best friend Kowalski to the train station where he will last see his good buddy.

Kowalski was helping Skipper carrying his luggage "I thought you said not to come?"

Skipper nodded "I did."

Kowalski raised his eye brow "Why are you lookin' for her then?"

Skipper smirked "It's my test." he clears his throat "I tell her not to come and she comes anyway, means she loves me."

"ALL ABOARD! TRACK 57!" a conductor yelled out

Skipper puts on his air force hat to complete his attire and looks at Kowalski "If, uh, anything happens to me, I want you to be the one to tell her, alright?"

Kowalski nods but deep inside him he doesn't want Skipper to go to war and die "Just make sure to come back for both of us, alright?" Skipper nods and gave Kowalski a brotherly hug

Skipper grabs his luggage and starts to walk towards the platform "See you when I get back."

Kowalski just stood there and smiled as he sees his best friend leaving "Good huntin', Skipper."

Marlene later then came running in to the station looking for Skipper. She reached the platform but still no sign of him "Skipper! Skipper!"

Skipper looked out the window and sees Marlene crying outside "Marlene! Marlene! Hey!" he now sees Marlene turning around and walking away. Skipper sits back and sees a penguin that's been looking at him "She loves me."

It was a long for Skipper. The only thing he knows now is to find the Eagle Squadron's superior. As hours had pass he was greeted by two British pilots and escorted him to the FOB, where the fun he expects to start.

Skipper walked towards the crew that was checking a P-40 fighter plane "This doesn't look good." the chubby penguin said

Skipper dropped his luggage and salutes "Lieutenant McCawley reporting for duty, sir."

The chubby penguin turned around ,revealing to be the commander, and salutes back "Good." Skipper grabbed his luggage and starts to walk with the RAF Commander "My name is Commander Private Tubbs." Skipper raised his brow and opens his beak a little because of the confusion about the commander's name "Yes, I know. But 'Private is actually my name and only my name." Private stopped and turns to Skipper, he raises his flipper and starts poking Skipper's chest "I expect you to call me 'sir' or 'commander', am I clear?"

Skipper gulped and nods "Yes, sir!" Commander Private started walking again and Skipper follows "For a small guy, he sure looks tough."

"We'll get you settled in your quarters and I'll introduce you to the crate you'll be flying." Commander Private stopped at a lightly damaged plane with it's canopy open with shattered glass and scattered blood

Skipper looks at the plane and back at the commander "I'm just gonna leave my luggage here and hop right in the plane, sir."

"Two didn't come back, sir!" a penguin shouted as the planes that were in the battlefield started to land "We counted only eleven!" the penguin looks down and walks back to the tent

Private sighed and looks at Skipper "Are all yanks, as anxious as you, to get themselves killed for others?"

Skipper took a deep breath "Not anxious to die, sir. Just anxious to live."

Private silently nodded and looks at the lightly damaged plane "This is yours." Skipper grabs a ladder and climbs up to take a look at the canopy "Good champ, didn't die until he landed and shut down his engines."

Skipper takes a short break and writes a letter to his beloved Marlene who is now headed to Hawaii with Kowalski and the others.

Meanwhile at the Washington, the President Clemson Roosevelt reads the news about about the war in the east. He calls his assistant and told him to prepare the meeting with the other senators. President Clemson rolled the wheels of his wheel chair in the room where the senators are located.

President Clemson sighed in depression "I'm afraid that I am in a bad mood. Churchill and Stalin are asking what I'm asking you." he cleared his throat "How long is America going to pretend the world is not at war?"

A senator stands up "We've increased food and oil supply shipments to them, Mr. President. And as far as I know-" the senator was cut off by Clemson's hand

"What they really need are tanks, planes, bullets, bombs and men to fight. But our people think that Hitler and his Nazi thugs are Europe's problem." the senators were silent as a mouse "We have to do more. Send the the Brits and Russians more of our ships and anti-aircraft weapons."

A senator looks at Clemson"And keep disassembling our Pacific Fleet?"

Clemson nodded "What choice do we have? We're building refrigerators, while our enemies build bombs!"

Meanwhile in Japan, the Japanese government are having at the meadow outside. Most of them are Lobsters and Puffins. The Lobsters do all the ground work and the Puffins does all the dogfight. The Japanese emperor assembled a meeting with all his officials, including his favorite commander, Commander Blowhole of the Imperial Fleet.

"War is inevitable. To hide this fact of death. The Americans cut off the oil that is our lifeline." the emperor pauses and drinks a cup of water "We only have eighteen months, we have no choice but war. There's only one way. A massive, sudden strike."

Commander Blowhole turned to the emperor with a concerned look"You see us capable of such blow?"

The dolphin emperor looks at the puffins, lobsters and dolphins that are playing at the hill "We will annihilate their Pacific Fleet in a single attack," he looks back at his officials "at Pearl Harbor!"
