Mikko smiled fondly at her new friends. Marlene watched as the other three penguins
exploded their way in. Shaking her head she walked up to Rico and snatched the
explosive from his flipper. Marlene gave Rico a stern look, wile Mikko took the explosive from her paw, and stated one thing, "Ka-boom."
Skipper sighed, "don't I get enough of this at home?"
{Otter habitat 2200 hours
Marlene looked at her stone ceiling. She remembered when she was a young otter, at the other zoo. She remembered her parents and friends. Her parents died of some sort of flu and her other friends either died or was transferred too. She remembered the day she was transferred.
She turned over on her side, and stared at the doodles on the side of her wall. She remembered when Private did those, she always thought they were cute and decided to keep them. She drifted off to sleep, smiling at all the good times she and the penguins had.
{0900 hours
Marlene woke up to see Alice in her habitat setting down a wooden crate. As soon as Alice left Marlene scampered up to the crate. She stood on her tiptoes and looked over at the top. Suddenly the top popped open and hit Marlene square in the face.
"HI! HOW ARE YOU?!" said a young otter in a very high-pitched voice.
Marlene lifted the top off of her and got her first look at Sheella, for that was the otter's name. The otter was about as young as Private, she had brown fur and black paws. Her eyes were huge, and a lovely shade of green.
"I am fine…." Marlene responded not sure what to say.
"That's good!" Sheella hopped out of the crate and walked up to Marlene. She helped Marlene up and smiled.
"Thanks?"
"Your welcome!" Sheella stated happily.
Marlene decided to introduce Sheella to Skipper and the other penguins.
