and nope; still don't own penguins of madagascar or rise of the guardians.

"Right, who`s been leading the mission so far?" Classified asked as the jet began to take off.

"Well that would be Private," Marlene replied.

"Okay then, Kowalski and Rico, would you mind watching out the back incase we get tailed?" the husky requested. The two penguins were happy to oblige (they'd do anything to help Classified as long as there was no lederhosen involved.)

"I don't see any…" Kowalski began but was cut off by a sharp stinging sensation in his left buttock, then something stuck Rico in the head, both collapsed as the tranquilizer took affect.

Private looked at Classified, the little penguin was standing in the exact same spot Skipper was after the canal chase in Venice, "what is it with you and those darts?" he asked the husky.

A little while later, Classified approached Private, who was sitting by the window looking for any sign of a certain winter spirit in the clouds.

"Looking for something particular out there?" Classified asked.

"No, not really," Private lied, he wanted to keep his fascination with the guardians secret from the north wind as Classified would probably call it childish.

"Look, Private, I've been thinking, why don't we drop you and the others back at the Central Park Zoo and we`ll find Skipper for you," Classified suggested.

"No, sorry Classified but I vowed that I would find Skipper, no matter what it takes, and I intend to keep my word," Private explained, "and don't even think about using us as a distraction cause you and I both know how that turned out last time," he pointed out. The husky looked at the floor.

"Besides, when I was very young, Skipper taught me something very important about missions and adventures," Private began, before starting to sing;

There`s always going to be another mountain, i'm always going to want to make it move, always going to be an uphill battle, sometimes i'm going to have to lose. Ain't about how fast I get there, ain't about what's waiting on the other side. It`s the climb.

I can almost see it that dream I'm dreaming, but there's a voice inside my head saying, "You'll never reach it". Every step i'm taking, every move I make feels lost with no direction, and my faith is shaking, but I got keep trying, gotta keep my head held high.

The struggles I'm facing, the chances i'm taking, sometimes might knock me down, but no, i'm not breaking. I may not know it, but these are the moments that, I'm going to remember most yeah, just keep on going. And I, got to be strong, just keep pushing on.

Classified nodded at the wisdom of Private`s words, " ok, you just tell me what to do and I'll do it," he informed. Short fuse, Corporal and Eva gasped collectively. They`d never seen their boss relinquish command before.

"Thanks Agent Classified," Private said gratefully as a flurry of snowflakes whirled past the jet window.
