Kirby the jolly fellow- Same here. I mean just imagine how much it really weighs down that you aren't the only person in someone's life. I mean, it's not bad, but it does make someone feel a bit less special, and that really does hurt sometimes. But lets see how that develops in this chapter...
demiajaie- no the old friends are new people, never before seen. You'll meet a few in this chapter.
Now onto the story!
(No one's pov)
Private took off his coat quickly as he locked gazes with the Italian man known as Benicio. Benicio was about as tall as Rico, had black hair, brown eyes, wearing a red tuxedo top, blue bandana and black jeans. "Bill, is it really you?", Benicio said as he looked at Private up and down.
Kowalski stepped forward to address the stranger with nonchalant dismissal, "I believe you're mistaken. This is Private, he isn't who you're talking a-"
"It's me, Bill.", Private said, cutting off Kowalski and taking a few steps towards the "stranger". Skipper, Kowalski and Rico's eyes widen at Private's response and walk with him towards the stranger.
"Bill, your nam, nuh uh", Rico grunts in slight confusion.
"Actually it was, my name was a bit longer than just 'Tux'. That was a simple nickname", Private explained while walking up to the "stranger" tugging off the bandana on his arm. The rest of the penguin team remained confused and flustered at what this all meant and for the first time, noticed the bandana Private had on his arm.
"Bill, I cannotah believe itsa you", Benicio said as spotted the bandana on his arm, having a solemn look in his face. "I never thoughta you would came back and see us." Benicio got down on one knee and hugged Private. "It'sa really good to seea you again."
"It's really nice to see you too Benicio." Private said hugging Benicio back. "It was about time I came back home." Home. The team shuddered a bit in displease, Private's home was New York, with them. Not this Beninno guy, or whatever his name was. "Guys", Private said looking back towards them. "This is Benicio, one of my old friends. Benicio, these are my new friends and brothas from New York, we're also an elite commando unit."
Benicio looked over to the penguin team and held out his hand in greetings. "It'sa nice to meet you ...", Benicio said in a questioning manner to find out their names.
"Skipper, leader of the unit", Skipper said as he shook Benicio's hand. "I believe it also a pleasure meeting you Ben." He added sarcastically.
"It'sa Benicio", Benicio said with irritation edging at his voice. "I also happen to be the leader of the Antarctic glaciers."
"Are you referring to the elite spy unit, The Antarctic Glaciers?", Kowalski raised his hand to shake Benicio's. "Kowalski, the scientist of our unit."
"Benicio, and yes, I ama referring to thata unit. Why do you ask?", Benicio questioned raising an eyebrow.
"I just didn't believe you could be the leader of such a group as that, even less have been hired", Kowalski said with a satisfied smirk at his own taunts. Benicio's demeanor stiffened with clear irritation all over, except his face, which was stretched with a forced smile.
Benicio turned and held his hand out to Rico, simply saying, "I'ma Benicio, you are?"
Rico took his hand and and held it in a crushing grip, watching as Benicio's face twisted into a grimace of pain, smirking and responding with venom dripping in his voice, "Rico." Private stiffened as he saw how uncomfortable Benicio was, quickly going over to give him another hug, breaking up the handshake between him and Rico.
Rico lightly growled at Benicio, he didn't like this guy being here and just freely hugging and smiling at Private. "Hey Benny boy!", another guy called out with a slight Irish accent. He was wearing a green tuxedo top, same blue bandana, black pants, had red hair and brown eyes and was about 6' 3, same as Benicio. "We lost the munchkins through the crouwd of people."
"Sean, lookat who came!", Benicio called to the Irish man. He then stepped aside and held out Private towards Sean.
"Billy boy!", Sean said as he ran over to Private and held him in a crushing bear hug. The hug soon turned into Sean lifting Private and throwing him into the air, almost stopping all of the penguin team's hearts. "Sean, catch me!", Private squealed as he began to descend to the ground. Benicio and Sean both caught him in their arms as Private landed. They were a laughing mess to anyone who had bothered to look at them, but we're close friends seeing each other after a long time.
"Whare the fuck have you been laddie?", Sean said with a large grin on his face as he set Private down.
"Whoa!", Skipper said covering Private's ears quickly with his hands. "Don't swear in front of Private like that!" Kowalski stared wide eyed in shock and disgust at the foul language spoken to Private and Rico began to growl more audibly this time. However Sean remained oblivious and continued to smile at the group, knowing he was annoying them. "Who in the hell is this, Private you're yapping on about?"
"That would be me, Sean", Private said as he pulled Skipper's hands off his ears. "Don't worry guys, I've heard words like these before, especially coming from that foul trap of a mouth." Private gave Sean a joking smile with Sean returning a cheeky smile of his own. "And to answer your question Sean, I've been in New York."
"Ah, the apple state", Sean said with an amused tone to his voice. "Let me guess, these be your friends?", Sean said pointing at Kowalski, Rico and Skipper. At this point they were boiling with outrage at how Private was so comfortable with someone as vulgar as Sean, they couldn't stand it.
"Yes, these be me friends", Private responded while imitating Sean's accent, earning him a noogie from Sean himself. He then turned his attention to Private's teammates, interested in how he could rile them up more. "Top of the mornin to ya laddies, my name is Sean", He exclaimed holding his hand out to shake the others. Skipper reluctantly shook his hand and said, "Name's Skipper."
"I can't understand your accent, Skips", Sean replied while Skipper gave him a threatening glare. "Ha, just codding ya." Skipper's glare deepend and Private decide to intervene and said, "he means he's joking with you." Slowly Skippers face lightened up a bit, but he remained tense and irritated at Private's "friend".
Meanwhile, Sean took the time to turn over to Kowalski and extended his hand in greeting. "I'm Kowalski and you said you were Sean, correct?", the scientist asked in mild annoyance and disinterest.
"Bang on, Boyo", Sean said as he shook his hand firmly.
"You know, you said 'top of the morning' and it's near evening time, right?", Kowalski pointed out to at least piss off Sean a bit.
"Agh, Get outta that garden, man", Sean said with a large smile, with Benicio snickering in the background watching karma do its thing. Which was Sean's specialty.
"Heyya Sean", Benicio said restaining a hearty laugh as Sean turned to look at him. "Savage! What a mamaluke he looksa like right now." Benicio then let out a cackling laugh at how disgruntled and flutered the penguin team was getting. All except Private who was giggling at Sean's playful, bold personality.
Sean then moves on to Rico, who looked about ready to slap the man. Sean just held out his hand to him with a grin on his face and Rico began to reach for his hand. As Rico was about to grip his hand, Sean made his hand into a fist and made a fist-bump gesture. Rico groaned inwardly as his plans were thwarted by the clever man, he soon made his hand into a fist and returned the gesture roughly. "Rico", he grunted to Sean, trying to make his interactions as short as possible.
"Delira", Sean said happily, confusing and irritating Rico. He just said his name to him, how did he get it wrong already?
"Rico", he said again.
"Like I said, delira", Sean said, smile widening. He liked annoying the crap out of these guys. It wasn't that he had any beef with them, but they were messing with Benicio, his leader. Nobody messed with someone in their team and got away with it. He made sure of that. Bill, or 'Private' as he heard them call his old friend, wasn't responsible for anything his new friends did, so he just messed around with them a bit for amusement and payback. If Private wasn't here, he would have turned this into a fist fight long ago.
"He means 'Delighted', Rico", Private said with a smile at the misunderstanding, but deep inside knew that would have gotten ugly pretty soon. Sean turns back to Private and gives him a playful punch in the arm and says, "It's good to see you again, Bill. Is it still Bill? Or Private?"
"Private, now at least", Private says as he shoots both Benicio and Sean a smile. Now at least. How many alliuses did he have?
"Oh, I seea you all have coats with you", Benicio said as he took notice of the black coat Private was carrying and the coats the team was wearing. "Why don'ta we head to the dining area and seta your stuff down."
"Hey Ben, what about the little munchkins?", Sean asked in concern.
"Agh, Frankie can handle the kiddos for a bit-a", Benicio responded. "Follow me, i'll show you to the dining area." Benicio then walked off with Sean with the rest of the Penguin team following him.
