Kermittheisabel- YES, I shall do that at some point, but thanks for helping me out with my stories and what not. Also, I still have your pencil pouch...

And now onto the story-

We all settled down again and began small talk, mostly with Private starting the conversation as anything else would result in awkward silence... Or a fight. I still don't like or trust these people.

(Kowalski's POV)

After a half-hour of small conversing, the food arrived and we all began to eat. In the meantime Private began to tell stories about our missions, including the one where he went to the moon. The kids seemed so happy to see Private, everyone does, why did he leave anyway?

I mean, it's not that we don't enjoy Private's company back in New York, but… if he had all this, why trade it for us?

In my deep analysis of the situation, I began to tune out the conversation, but something caught my attention… the Arctic Glaciers were talking about their humanization device.

I snapped back into attention and focused on the conversation, slightly confused as they were in mid sentence.

"... we turned into humans a lot, mostly for missions which included a high concentration of people in the area", Vicktor said as he reached for a glass of champagne.

"Indeed, Bill… Er, Private turned into a human multiple times as well", Natalia commented. "That would explain his slow aging, if you had any questions about that."

"What do you mean?", I asked fully curious of the process of becoming humans, especially Private's exposure to it.

"Well, ah because Private turned into-a human, when he was a little bambino, he no longer ages like a penguin, mora like a human.", Benicio explained as he also reached for a few champagne glasses for him and his team. "So if you were born somewhere around the same time, Private would be-a younger because of the aging changes."

Skipper, Rico and I turned to Private with a questioning glare, why wouldn't he tell us any of this? Apparently Private understood because he responded with, "It didn't come up in a conversation a lot." Private then began to reach for a glass himself. I thought he was going to get water, but he actually reached for a champagne glass!

"Whoa there. Private let me get you a glass of water", I said, thinking he just can't reach them.

"Actually, I was reaching for a champagne glass", Private said. Does he know this drink has alcohol in it.

"Private, do you know that drink has alcohol in it, right?", Skipper asked, concern lacing his voice.

"Yes, but I know how to handle my alcohol", Private responded, oblivious to how concerning his statement was.

"Wha!?", Rico exclaimed, worried and slightly mad. I feel the same, knowing Private has drank before.

"Yes, lad we would like some more elaboration on that", Nigel said in a demanding voice. I'm surprised and utterly shocked his uncle didn't know about this.

"Well these goofs", Private said while gesturing at his previous team. " accidentally got me drunk off Nyquil."

(Private's POV)

I proceeded to tell them about what happend, or else I wouldn't be left alone about it for months.

-Flashback-

I was about eleven years old as a human and I had gotten sick….

"Achooo!", I sneezed and coughed frantically to clear my throat of mucus and flem. "Guys, please just call my Uncle." I could barely keep myself upright and awake, my fever was raging and I felt so dizzy from lack of air from my clogged nose.

"Um, I don't think that would be the best idea", Benicio said nervously. "He'll skin us if he or the boss knows we let you be experimented on."

"Ben, it was consensual-", I said stopping as I let out a large sneeze that made my head throb and by whole body ache. At this point I was wheezing for air.

"Hey, hey", another one of my team members said as they lifted me up in their strong arms. He was exactly 7ft tall, had black hair with a white dyed streak in the front, blue eyes and was really strong. "Hey Bill, don't pass out on us yet."

"M'kay Ron", I said as clinging onto him for warmth as chills ran up and down my body, while my head burned, making me feel sick. Ron, or more specifically, Ronnie McGuire, was keeping me upright and spitting out orders to everyone. He then called for Frank, or his adoptive brother, to come and help me.

"What is it now, Ron….?", Frank's words died in his throat as he looked upon me and his older brothers withering patience.

"Frankie", Ronnie said calmly, but I could tell he was keeping his cool by the hair. "Please help us with this." He gestured to me, right as I started hacking up a lung.

"Um, I don't have a lot of experience in the medical field", Frank said as he pulled on a lab coat, goggles, gloves and a mask to get closer to me. You know being a germaphobe and all when he was younger.

"Well then, pull something out of yer arse or something, cuss we don't know what do do with a sick child!", Sean exclaimed as he threw his arms in exasperation.

At the time I was a barely turned human and only a four year old penguin. Everyone else was around their 17s or 16s, and they didn't know much about the human anatomy since it was still new to all of us.

"Well, we could give him Nyquil to alleviate some of the symptoms of…", Frank said and stopped to reconsider what was it that I had. The experiment was more of a check on human anatomy from animal, so my condition was a mix of various diseases to test my bodily reactions to them. "Whatever I injected into him."

So Ronnie carried me over to another part of the headquarters building, leading my to my quarters. Sean, Benicio and Frank followed along, as well as Markus, who at this time was a dog, Ronnie being his owner. Once he got me to my quarters he laid me on the bed and propped me up with pillows.

"Alright, make a cure or something for him Frankie", Ronnie said as he stood up. He turned to Benicio and Sean and said, "You guys give him the Nyquil thingy, and make sure he's feeling okay. I have to go meet Vicktor for the meeting, If he is somehow worse, I swear to god i'll drop you all into a highway intersection."

I heard Sean and Benicio audibly gulp and Ronnie step out of the room with Markus following him. "Okay, Benicio give me the cough medicine", Sean said as he walked over to me.

"I'll go make a cure for his condition", Frankie said as he began to exit the room.

"Hey Frank!", Benicio called before he could leave. "How much of this stuff should we give him?"

"Look, I don't know, just pour some into a cup or something, or have him drink from the bottle. Just make sure he doesn't down the whole thing."

"Are you-a sure?"

"I'm an engineer, not a doctor", Frankie said as he left.

"O-Okay", Benicio said hesitantly.

"Alrighty then, give me the bottle", Sean said as he took the bottle and emptied half of its contents in a cup and handed it to me.

"Alright Bill, justa drink it all so you can feel better faster." Benicio said coaxing me to drink. So I did. In the meantime, they bothered to read the ingredients, they didn't know what half of the stuff was so they gave me cup after cup while they continued reading. They soon realized the cough medicine had a ten percentage content of alcohol, and looking at the once filled bottle, they realized they got me drunk.

"Oh no", Benicio said as he looked over to me, being a buzzed giggly bitch. "Sean, this stuff… it's not for kids."

"Oh boy", Sean said as he took the cup I had in my hand from me.

"H-Heyyassss", I said in a drunken manner. To be honest I felt slightly better, or numb. One of those two, I couldn't tell. "BEnnY, You look like a door… Ha ha ha *Hic"

"Yup this isn't for kids", Sean says as he hides the bottle under the bed.

"You're not for kids", I said to Sean earning me a glare, but I didn't care as I started to laugh like a drunk man, which I was. Just then Frank entered the room with what seemed to be an antidote in his hand, an injection more so.

"Hey guys, just hold him still", Frank said as he held up the shot. Sean and Benicio held me down and I felt a needle be pushed into my arm, but I didn't do much about it as I just looked around the room, watching dots of non-existent colors appear.

"Well he was a lot calmer than last time", Frank said as he retracted the needle. "He should feel better in a few seconds, so how much of the thing did you give him?"

"Um, we may have gave him too much into the point in which he's …", Benicio said nervously as he twirled his fingers .

"He's what?", Frank asked nervously.

"Drunk", Sean said as he cast a glance at me.

"Oh. MY. GOD!', Frank said through gritted teeth. "You should have told me that before! He can't take drugs with that much nyquil and that injection was packed with them!"

I actually felt so much better, but I was so incredibly drowsy! "MMMMM, bing badada bing, grraaa tra tra tata powasf THE POWER… ya po warr…", I said as I began to walk around my room. "I can taste rainbow."

"Oh dear god…", Frank said as he stood up and walked towards me slowly. "Hey bill-"

"OH FRANKIE BOY! Yonow I watz 'ooking for you ALL over da room", I said as I crab walk sideways and crashed into a wall. Just then Ronnie walked into the room, seemingly happy.

"Well guys I just finished the meeting and the boss is happy with our work-", the sound of his voice diminished as he looked around seeing me drunk and everyone else in shock.

"Oh for fuck's sake!", Ronnie said with barely concealed rage.

"Hey, but he's feeling better", Sean pointed out. "Isn't that right Bill?

"Hi, *Hic, Ronnie, you're lookin' handsome today!", I said with a goofy smile as I doubled over and collapsed onto floor, but got enough of a glimpse to see Ronnie flustered before I passed out.

-Flash back-

Once done with my explanation, I reached over and grabbed a champagne glass.

"I still had many more times in which they accidentally got me loopy", I said as I drank a few sips, it definitely was light in alcohol. "This really isn't much of an alcoholic drink. Well, not for me at least, I've had stronger."

A/N- I AM NOT CONDONING THE BEVERAGES OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKS WHILE UNDERAGE. I'm just saying...
