Chapter 10: Private
It was like a fuzzy dream all last night, one that if you thought of it too much. You'd get a headache and wish you hadn't been prodding it all day, however I was that person, one determined to find answers to it.
I walked out and grabbed a bowl of cereal to satifsfy my hunger for the morning. I looked around contently and found myself in the attention of Private, who at the time was the only penguin I saw. I grabbed a drink of orange juice and sat down and watched cartoons with him for a while.
" Hey Private" I finally found my voice after losing it to last night, he turned around and smiled brightly, waved a flipper and returned his attention to the Tv.
" Ello Sky" I took a long sip and set it down on the floor beside me. I layed on my stomach and moved forwards and splayed out beside Private, head on my hands I watched the ending sequence to the show before lolling on my side and facing his side.
" Er Private" I asked with octaves raising.
" Yes Sky?" He recoiled as his eyes turned to me. I dabbed my fingers on the floor and kicked my feet fruitlessly before sighing loudly and beginning.
" Did Kowalski? ummm...errr...ever say anything about liking someone?"
" Well there was always this cute little dolphin named Doris he was quite found of, and I hate to be rude but why are you asking this Sky?" Private prodded me further, making my face mantle as well as my patience wear thin.
" No reason, but umm well maybe I lied, you see last night Kowalski and I ate some candy and he well kissed me" I said while getting the shaken soda pop can effect as I thought of last night.
" Kowalski did what?" Private scream aloud as his flippers wailed out and flawed beside him.
" Aha, yea" I replied stifling back laughter.
" Hmmm, well not that you mention it Sky he has seen forlorn for some time now" His flipper placed thoughtfully on his beak as she paused, " And you do come up in his dialouge quite often"
Surpringsly, I was flattered a bit that he talked about me often, I nodded and let Private contune.
" So where are they now?" I asked while peering at the empty HQ.
" Our friend Roger has been having an awful toothache so they figured they could help him out, I declined because I was up late last night helping Kowalski work on something"
" Okay" I said quitely as I watched Private get up and walk towards the lab. I sighed there had to be something interesting to do around the place. I didn't feel much like shopping again and in reality there was nothing to shop for in the first place. Second the place was actually spotless which left tidying up out of my list, I sighed again as I rolled on my back and layed down.
I must have drifted off as I was violently awoken by Private shaking me.
" Sky I need a favor" he whispered lowly into my ear.
" Umm okay" I replied rubbing my eyes and listening to Private's command.
" Would you be able to turn Roger into a human? His tooth is awfully sore and he could probably go to the dentist that way" I nodded still half asleep as I let Private pull me into the sewers.
In the distance I could see Rico, Skipper and Kowalski sitting beside a moaning alligator, as soon as they saw me the smiled, except for Kowalski who barely made any eye contact. I knew what to do, I concreted and turned Roger into a small, thin boy with emerald green eyes and messy brown hair.
" Thank you so much Sky, remind me to bake you muffins as a thank you" I smiled and waved contenly as I watched the boys, ( now humans themselves) surface towards the HQ. As I walked the ladder I felt Kowalski touch my arm.
" Umm Sky may I have a word with you?"
" Sure" I replied kindly as I stepped back down and watched as Skipper pulled the case over the hole, darkening us both.
" I would like to apologize for my actions the other day, it was inappropriate and rude so therefor I" I placed a finger over his lips and stopped him abruptly.
" Look man it's cool alright?" I sighed contently as I let my finger slid off his lips and fall to my sides. Kowalski brightened a bit but not enough to show true happiness.
" Okay" He replied as he let me walk up towards the ladder first.
" Hmmm sir, we do have visual monitors tracking them down, however there seems to be a new person in the crowd" A red lobster replied as he started writing down notes and keeping eyes on the screen.
" Excellent work my minions, soon we well figure out the boys weakness and if i'm not mistaken we've already found that out" He replied as his nose had touched the blond hair girls face.
