That afternoon, Kowalski took private out as promised, the chimps had told the youngest penguin about a film titled rise of the guardians. Private thought it sounded good and skipper ordered Kowalski to take the youngest penguin to see it.

"I`m really excited Kowalski," private revealed as the duo waddled into the cinema center, "mason and Phil were reading me the newspaper and the movies getting rave reviews," he explained.

"Oh private, I just hope you aren't disappointed if it doesn't turn out exactly like you expect", Kowalski said.

The movie turned out to be even more than private expected; a riveting tale of a young winter spirit named jack frost who has no Idea what he`s meant to do, for over three hundred years, jack is alone and unseen by the world around him. Until one day he finds himself smack bang in the middle of an ancient fight between the legendary guardians consisting of Nicholas St. North (Santa Claus), E. aster bunnymund (Easter bunny), Toothania (the tooth fairy) and Sanderson mansnoozie (sandman) and an evil spirit named pitch black, also known as the boogeyman. Full of twists and turns, private was enthralled from the first minute. Even Kowalski, who had planned to work on his calculations for his latest experiment during the session, put down his notepad and got wrapped up in the adventure. While Private believed with all his heart that the guardians were real, Kowalski on the other hand, passed it off as a really good movie but just that, a movie.

That evening, private told skipper and rico all about the movie. The zoo was now closed for the day, so the penguins were free to do their own thing. Kowalski disappeared into his lab soon after and skipper had gone for a swim. Rico was busy painting a portrait of his dolly, when private approached him.

"Rico, may I have some crayons and some paper please?" the littlest penguin requested politely.

"Uh huh!" rico replied and regurgitated the art materials.

"Thanks a lot rico," private acknowledged gratefully, gathered the supplies off the floor, sat down at the table and began to draw.

Rico looked at his little brother strangely; private was saying nonsense while sketching his picture.

"I hope you like the loop-de-loops!" private cried out, waving a red crayon in the air excitedly, "oh I must sound completely cuckoo," he admitted, realizing rico had heard his mutterings.

"Ummmmm...Yup!" rico confirmed.

"Don't worry rico, i`m just quoting the movie from this afternoon," the small penguin explained, "it really was smashing, you would have loved it," he babbled, continuing to draw. Rico left the painting for a moment and went to look over private`s shoulder (or so to speak) private noticed his big brother`s shadow on the paper.

"See, that`s jack, north, bunny, tooth and sandy," private explained to the older penguin, pointing to each character in turn.

Rico wolf-whistled when private pointed to the hummingbird fairy.

"Rico!" private scolded, "your dolly`s just over there remember!" he recapped.

"Oh no!" rico exclaimed in panic, running over to kiss his doll.

Outside the porthole window, skipper smiled fondly at the scene.
