Kela's POV
Oh my gosh. The tall one is so lucky I can't kill him right now! He was getting WAY to close to my sister! "Hey, Bucko. NOBODY gets that close to my sister unless it's her boyfriend, someone trying to make her feel better, or me!" I said, my voice rising. "What about your parents?" The one with the English accent asked. What was his name? Oh, it was Private. And, I just realized we didn't tell them we're orphans! "We don't have any," I said nonchalantly. Their beaks all dropped. I couldn't help but laugh at their expressions. "Oh my gosh, I wish I had a camera to capture the looks on your faces!" I actually had tears running down my face, the expressions were so priceless! "Keila!" My sister scolded. Wow. She seemed mad. I have no idea why, though. I stopped laughing, just to find out. "What?" I asked, still smiling. The tall one recovered first. "Well, do you two still express sadness?" The tall one asked. "I usually don't but I sometimes hear Lilly crying, and I feel it best not to talk to her, 'cuz I'm to scared I'll say one wrong thing and then she'll storm off in a huff. Which is pretty easy, considering we ran away from the orphanage. By the way, what are your names? I got Private's name, but the others, not so much," I said. "I'm Kowalski, that's Skipper, and that's Rico," Kowalski said, pointing at each one. I can tell Kowalski's the brains of the group. "Wait a minute. You said my eyes are blue," Lilly asked. Oh boy. She loves the color of her eyes, now she's gonna explode. Not literally. Unlike Rico would like. "Yes, aren't they when you're in human form?" Kowalski answered/ asked. "No, they're usually brown! Oh my gosh, on my sister, blue eyes look great, but I know I can't pull it off," She said. "Well, I think your eyes look just smashing," Private said, basicly telling her that he thought her eyes were pretty, which we both understood. My sister seemed to get embarrassed. I could tell, since I'm her sister. "Hey, we have the same eyes, and I don't get any compliments? No fair," I said. "I think yours are darker than hers, Keila. But, still very pretty," Kowalski said. He's my new favorite. "At least someone recognizes they're pretty, just like my sister's eyes. And, thank you, Kowalski," I said. Huh. First, I'm trying to bite his flipper off, now I'm thanking him for complimenting my eyes. Weird. Then, the fishbowl/ door opened. "Hey guys-" An otter started talking as she walked in, but the others pinned her to the ground. "Guys, this is getting old. It's just me, Marlene," Marlene said. "Marlene, what are you doing here sneaking around the HQ?" Skipper demanded. "UGH! I WASN'T SNEAKING!" She yelled. Yeah, if they're dating, it so won't last. But, it does remind me of my favorite pairing on a TV show... Oh, I need to focus! "OK, are you two, like, dating or something," I asked. They bot said in unison "WHAT? NO! NOT IN A MILLION YERS WOULD I DATE HIM/HER!" Skipper said her, but Marlene said him, in case you're wondering. "Hey, guys? One quick thing. COULD YOU PLEASE UNTIE US?" I yelled the last part. They untied us, and I said "I'm gonna go get some fresh air." "Want one of us to come with you?" Said Skipper. "OK," I answered. "Kowalski, you should go, since you're the only one that's taller than her," Skipper said. Oh, yay! I get to go with the one that complimented my eyes! We walked out of the HQ, and that's when the questions began.
