The two girls were carried up to an Indian man. He was who they assumed to be the vet of the zoo. He was partially bald, and moderately tall. Then again, now that they shrunk, all humans looked like giants. Alice gently pulled them out of the nets. They were shoved into two cages. They patiently sat there side by side. They watched as the vet put some rubber gloves on. The Indian man was surprised to see the two. He grinned, and looked at Alice. "Wow, these two little ones must have come by transfer unnannounced. That's alright, though. I'll just give them a check up, and they can be on their way." He walked on over, and checked them over carefully. Checking them for illness, and parasites. They seemed fine according to how the vet reacted to them. "Well, the DNA tests say these are girls." He carefully put little leg bracelets on them. The bracelets were pink.
He nodded, and put them back into their cages. "They seem perfectly fine. Just malnourished." The sisters were not surprised by this announcement. After all they never really had a home technically. Thus food was scarce, and wherever you got your next meal was not taken for granted. It must have shown through their animal bodies as well.
Alice responded to this. "No kidding they look like they'll just keel over any moment. So can they be sent back to the habitats?" Alice picked up Keila's cage. The vet nodded. "Alright. There's a problem though. The toucan exhibit is already full I can't stick the toucan in there, or it would be overcrowded. What should I do with the toucan?" Lilly looked at her sister through the bars. She had barely thought about being a different animal. It could mean she would be seperated from her.
The vet looked at the two birds. Lilly and Keila were staring at each other. The vet noticed the bond. He grinned with an idea. "Well, would you look at that. They seem to be very interested in each other. I say we could put them in the penguin habitat together. That would help even distribution, and add a little extra." The vet ruffled the feathers on top of the little toucan. She was fine with that outcome, as long as she was with her sister.
The two crates were carried in the blackness of the night. They suddenly saw their purses and clothes gone. They had left them in the sidewalk when they transformed, but they were now gone. The penguins must have taken them. When they were brought back, and let out, they walked up to the boys. Skipper walked up first. "So, how did it go? Did you need shots?" He asked shivering.
"Just a few. They said we are malnourished, so there's that. Oh, and we got these cool bracelets." Kela mentioned.
"Really? Well, that's wonderful!" Privae smiled to them. "So, is Lilly going to stay here too?"
Lilly nodded. "Yep. I get to stay here too."
Suddenly Keila smiled at Kowalski. She wanted to get to know this penguin better. As she looked around she asked. "So do I get a tour or do I have to ask?" She looked up at the taller penguin. "Maybe you can give me a tour." She said trying to sound assertive as she always did. Kowalski noticed he was asked to give the tour.
"Oh, sure. Is it okay if I give Keila the tour Skipper?" Skipper nodded.
Keila POV
I walked as Kowalski gave me the tour. Suddenly we walked past the lemurs habitat. I looked as the lemur that was there before was watching Kowalski and me walking. He laughed. "Oh. It seems the smarty penguin has a new girlfriend. I need to get me a good girlfriend. Hmm where does a king get a girlfriend?" He scrathed his head as I stared up at him. Kowalski was staring at him as well. He was obviously not the smartest animal here. "Hey, red and black penguin lady. I know that you to being on a date, but I was wondering. Is that pretty toucan lady friend of yours available?"
I scowled at him while getting incredibly red. Kowalski interviened. "Okay first of all, this is no date, romantic or otherwise. Secondly, no. I would rather die than let either of the girls date somebody like you." Julien simply rolled his eyes, and jumped back into the habitat.
We lughed and joked as soon as he left. "Ha! Date. Please. We are just walking. I doubt that this is a date." I joked. He laughed along with me. Suddenly he question. "For the record, did you want it to be a date?" He asked raising his eyebrows. I didn't expect that. Trying to be truthefull I responded. "Yes! Yes, I do!" I looked up as there was rain falling. Suddenly a clash of thunder erupted. He raised his eyebrows, surprised that I had said yes. I smiled shyly as I nodded in saying that I was hoping it was date. Gently without questions, he kissed me right in the rain.
